The United States Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI,
has declared a Nigerian, Kelechi Declan James, wanted
for $5 million e-mail scam.
The
FBI
made
this
known
on its
Twitter handle and its website on Friday, according to
online portal, Premium Times.
According to the FBI, the accused has federal criminal
charges against him from an investigation by FBI New
York’s Cyber Crime Task Force.
As alleged in a complaint sworn out of the US District
Court for the Southern District of New York, Mr. James,
along with four other co-conspirators, ran an e-mail
compromise scheme that resulted in losses of more
than $5 million for their victims.

Clinton
As part of the scheme, the suspect and his co-
conspirators allegedly defrauded victims across the US
by tricking them into wiring money to bank accounts the
victims believed were owned by friends or business
associates.
They did this in two ways: by overtaking an e-mail
account of an individual trusted by the victim and then
requesting money be wired to a bank account; or by
developing a relationship of trust with victim, like an
Internet romance, and then asking the victim to wire
money, the American agency said.
As soon as the money was wired, it would be moved
from one account to another, and the funds would be
withdrawn.
Mr. James’s role in this scheme was to withdraw the
money from bank accounts, the FBI said.
“James is known to frequent the Brooklyn neighborhoods
of East New York (Crescent Street and Loring Avenue;
Vermont Street between Blake Avenue and Dumont
Avenue), Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant (MacDougal
and Hull Streets), Crown Heights (Park Place and Utica
Avenue), Flatbush (E 29th and Avenue D), and East
Flatbush (East 51st and Winthrop Street),” the agency
said.
The FBI offered a $1,000 reward for information that
could lead to his arrest.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Posted By
Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
