A U.S. Cort sentences the Nigerian citizen Elvis Eghosa Ogiekpolor, 46, to a 25-year prison term for money laundering after being convicted at trial. Ogiekpolor opened and directed others to open at least 50 fraudulent business bank accounts that received over 9.5 million dollars from various online frauds, including romance frauds and business email compromise scams (“BECs”). He and his co-conspirators then laundered the fraud proceeds using sham companies and their bank accounts.
