ReplyDeleteI pray worst happens to all the other wicked scammers/criminals, locally or internationally, Amen!!
2020,year of Karma, le go!!
All greed and a bid to impress followers. Fraud is bad.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Imagine showing off ill gain living and making people who work hard for a living look like crap! Oh the judge in the states is not going to be kind! Servers all of this criminals right!
DeleteEverybody is to blame, I blame the criminals for their greed and love for ostentatious fake life. I blame ppl for urging them on, always 'tapping' from their so called Grace. I blame the economy for pushing our youths to seek any ways just to make it. I blame the politicians for their wickedness and lust for power and wealth,imagine the amount carried off abroad by our leaders, if the money was invested here, would ppl be seeking so many dubious ways to make ends meet. I also blame those that knows the truth but choose to be silent bcos they feel they would be misunderstood. I also blame those not careful enough to know when they are being duped, there's always a loophole when ignore when one is about to be duped. We all have a part to play, let's all play it. ***Ignore my typos
ReplyDeleteEasy on the blame on the victims. A successful crime is not always a result of negligence.
DeleteStop blaming everyone. You even blame their victims? Don't you know these scammers hack the accounts information of some of their victims and impersonate them? Or do you think it's all their victims that have business transactions to do with these scammers? They steal some people's identities and disguise as them so as to defraud them. Scammers transacting business with their victims is somehow old school, what they mostly do now is to hack into people's information or account detail. May we not fall victims to them. May God continue to expose everyone of them
DeleteLast last,his game is up.
ReplyDeleteHmmm good for them
ReplyDeleteSmh many Nigerian personality may go down with him cause these guys will be dam game to reveal lot of chains
ReplyDeleteHe will surely sing like a bird
DeleteEven the white guys do fraud too but dem no carry all their money buy Gucci and flaunt it most of dem na okirika dem Dey wear
DeleteI hope they are brought to Washington State. My friend, works in the Jail. If they do, I will ask her to go see his face. Even ask him if, it was worth it. I don’t feel no pity for them thieves.
ReplyDeleteShut up. see his face for what. He is a terrible person. but your comment makes no sense
DeleteSTFU Anonymous 09:02 😏😏🤫.
DeleteYour friend works there and will not follow work ethics? Ure ignorant, yen yen yen 😏.
He will be a ward of the Fed. Govt.
Delete😂😂😂😂😂😂@go see his face
DeleteI don’t know why you are pained this morning. Yes, l will tell my friend, to go see what he looks like in Prison uniform. What is wrong with that. After all, we only used to see him in designer wears.
DeleteWhen you work in a place, you are bound to see most of the people in there. What has work ethics, got to do with looking at a Prisoner face?
Like people don’t look at mug shots. It will even be on the prison website.most jails already have all that online. The real names, pictures and crimes.
Haba, 0902. Why tell the anon, to shut up.
DeleteBetter still, you should have used your id. There’s nothing ignorant there. People have work ethics. Not follow work ethics. I thought you follow policy at work.
Anon, Gucci already sent him a designer orange suit. Tell your friend to take pictures for our eyes only.
DeleteAwon gang Gucci Fendi Lv," I am the only successful person in my family" ... From okrica seller to billionaire Gucci wearer... I started my biz with #200 naira.. As if no be work others dey do... WO WO WOBI "you are doing well" .. Na struggle you dey struggle, you no kill person
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂
DeleteDon't mind them
Delete😂😂 I started in Ajegunle, now I live in banana island, all na story until they are caught.
DeleteThey are wanted criminals na. It's Hushpuppis own that pains me. You were not legit, but you were flaunting it online. I'm happy they were caught. Ah ah, he duped almost 2million people, that's just wickedness abeg. They should pay for their crimes.
ReplyDeleteHe still has his staunch supporters.
DeleteHe has on his Instagram profile real estate developer and not one photo posted of one project. They deserve what they get because they helped nobody when the going was good. Not one family taken out of the slum, not one child whose school fee was paid for, not one well built for a poor community, not one hospital upgraded. If these scanners were being Robin Hood with the money they could be forgiven. For all that was stolen out of Africa even their ancestors they never thought to use the money to help raise up somebody who is on their face. They on their own. See Deizani and Kola and all them, only drinking champagne and hob nobbing with the global elite, not one vocational school, scholarship fund, NGO, not a damn thing done for the advancement of the less fortunate. If they had done good, prayers from those they helped would be going up for them, the rich they were drinking and gallivanting with don't even pray for themselves much more them. They on their own.
He was also mocking those doing legit business,I don't pity him at all
DeleteAnon it's yahoo boys like them that will support them, they are their mentors, what do you expect. Flaunting fraud like it's now a legit business. May they all be caught
DeleteLobatan! No going back
ReplyDeleteSee what Nigeria couldn't do to be congratulated. Shior! Kwaruption won't let things be done right here.
ReplyDeleteIt's game over for him. Lazy men!
Nice one,more to follow,this is how they have been denting the image of genuine,honest Nigerians,just the other day I was chatting with a clean white dude online,the moment he asked me where I am from,I said Nigeria,that's how the chat seized☹️☹️
ReplyDeleteSo funny but very true 😀
DeleteAbsolutely true that was how one white friend visited me here in Nigeria ! She goes everywhere with me even when I think nt neccessary to go.
DeleteHer Anthem was”I’m scared of the Nigerians My fam never wanted me to come over here “ wasabsurd thou but gladly She later said Nigerians are loving people before leaving, this has thought me I have to keep my being a Nigerian inside my shokoto “pocket” first whenever I’m doing businesses out here
Abeg abeg move on with someone else . Dont be pain. His lose
DeleteYeah! Its time to dance to the Gucci music.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Its time to dance to the Gucci music.
ReplyDeleteDs here marks d end of freedom for them , till when ever. His show off was extra, without decorum. Well, do d time , Hush.
ReplyDeleteNa wah oo,I don't pity him at all.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
Wasted life. God help us to train our children to know what's right from what's wrong... Keep them safe from evil influence. Amen
ReplyDeleteThis your prayer is needed, in every streets in Lagos, 90% of Youths and teenagers are doing Yahoo, some parents keep praying and supporting their children to thrive in it.
DeleteIt is very true. One of my drivers at the office told me that the phone he is using his son got it from his maga. most of these parents know what they children are into
DeleteDo legit they won't hear.
ReplyDeleteBefore nko! They are criminals. The only painful thing is that they are Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteGood for them.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves it, flaunting his wealth anyhow when he knows is not from a legal source.
ReplyDeleteBy the time he will be out of jail, all the designers he patronised must have designed new and more flamboyant designs. If only he used a token from those show offs to elevate one or two lives...
ReplyDeleteFBI case evidence is always overwhelming..he gonna do plea bargaining to mention names just like the other guy caught by FBI..who later plead guilty lately Mentioning names prevent further fraud than solution..also save money for searching for suspect. If EFCC adopts this method..it wil get rid of yahoo in nija. Emoney and other social media tensioner..you are been watched via 3D. How dare you... have ill gotten wealth..yet tension legit struggling guys. If person talk..na hate.. If you think 1m is easy to earn legitimately after paying your bills and taxes...I laugh..talk of multi millions
ReplyDeleteDem think say Abolo wey cashout comot the gram no get sense
ReplyDeleteMy annoyance in all this, you ain't into a legit business, but na you disturb people pass.
ReplyDeleteBy the time he would be released, he would be 80 and then cars will be flying object, phones would be micro-chips in human body, and all his present stolen cars would be antiques!
ReplyDeleteHis grand kids would ask him, "...but grandpa, why did you do it?"
I doubt he will be gone for long. Maybe 7-10yrs at most. And this is because he will snitch on everyone involved to get a reduced sentence. He will share every detail about his operation(s) and mention everyone’s role down to the person behind the desk in the bank. Fraudsters care about themselves and will do anything to save themselves!
