As reported by the U.S Justice Department website: “A Nigerian man pleaded guilty yesterday to his role in online fraud schemes after being extradited from the United Kingdom.
Happy Chukwuma, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud conspiracy. U.S. Senior District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock scheduled sentencing for May 5, 2023. Chukwuma was indicted by a federal grand jury in August 2019. He was arrested and detained in the United Kingdom at the request of the United States in September 2022 and extradited to the United States in March 2023.
Between November 2015 and January 2019, Chukwuma and his co-conspirators participated in a variety of online fraud schemes, including “phishing” and romance scams. They exchanged victims’ personally identifiable information, including identification and financial documents, and engaged in financial transactions with that information.
