A man living in Phoenix, Arizona is heading to prison after allegedly using fraudulent accounts at JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and BBVA to launder millions of dollars. Investigators say US resident and Nigerian citizen Kingsley Ibhadore stole nearly $3 million in a romance scheme targeting multiple women, reports FOX 10 Phoenix. The victims sent Ibhadore checks up to $100,000, believing they were in online relationships. The 37-year-old then opened two dozen bank accounts using fake passports and aliases to deposit victims’ money. “Between 2018 and 2019, court documents say Ibhadore opened 24 bank accounts through Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo and BBVA Compass, using different aliases and fake passports. Some names he’d use – Barry Bhoye, Celestin Cheick, Simone Diakite and Celestin Emmanuel.” Prosecutors say Ibhadore withdrew funds in amounts below federal reporting thresholds to avoid detection. U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Scott Windish says $2.95 million was taken in total, with individual victim losses ranging from $30,000 to $200,000. Ibhadore has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge and has been sentenced to 17 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
