SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 2 – Abuchi Shedrach Felix
and five others are charged in
a money laundering conspiracy
involving romance
scams.
On
November 2 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Katherine Polk
Failla held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The
conspirators, the complaint
says, used the last name
Francisco and used online
photos of a male model.
They would
ask their victims for money
saying, for example, that
Francisco was "an architect
who had traveled to Dubai and
needed funds in order to
receive several million
dollars in payment." Or,
Francisco need funds to repair
his oil well.
Judge Failla gave 90 days
before the next conference, on
February 1 at 4 pm.
The case is
US v. Felix, et al., 21-cr-472
(Failla)
