US Court Jails Nigerian Fraud Kingpin Oluwaseun Adekoya 20 Years for Nationwide HELOC Scam
A U.S. federal court has sentenced 40-year-old Nigerian-born fraud kingpin, Oluwaseun Adekoya, to 20 years in prison for masterminding one of America’s most sophisticated nationwide bank-fraud and money-laundering schemes. Adekoya, who used multiple aliases, led a highly coordinated network that targeted home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) across several states using stolen identities and fake IDs. Prosecutors described him as a “perpetual thief” who spent nearly two decades exploiting U.S. financial institutions. He must pay over $2.2 million in restitution and faces removal from the U.S. after serving his sentence. Thirteen accomplices have already pleaded guilty, with sentences ranging from time served to 11 years.
