Nigerian who used bank accounts in Japan extradited to U.S. over $31 mil fraud

Isn't this a victimless crime?

It`s very funny to see lawyers victims of fraud and money.

Hahahahah

I should be getting my $16 million dollars deposited into my bank account soon from a Nigerian presidential aide.

Court records show Ekhator has yet to be assigned a lawyer

Has he been offering to pay for their services by check?

The country has tried to police the fraud rackets, but corruption and weak law enforcement allow fraudsters to thrive.

Fraudster? Are we making up new words again? Toss it in the bucket with the hipsters, I guess.

greedy lawyers got scammed... Why put your own money in. wait for the check to clear....The greed got in the way of their smarts.

gives a whole new meaning to the two magical words of....due diligence.

"Court records show Ekhator has yet to be assigned a lawyer." No surprise there

Why do so many account frauds and scams come out of Nigeria along with it's immigrants? In my e-mail i have received countless spam e-mails about wealthy people in need of transferring their money to me. Of course i always delete such e-mails immediately.

So, did he open the bank accounts in Japan himself or did he have accomplices here to do it for him? Probably our local friendly criminal groups are involved too.

The best that has ever come out of Nigeria - Uzodinma Okpechi - "I Go Chop Your Dollar" . The 419 anthem easily found on Youtube. I actually like the song.

it makes me sick that when money is concerned people can be extradited, yet when its over child abduction, nothing can be done...
