A man from Georgia admitted that he had been part of a conspiracy for money recycling for five people who took at least $ 150,000 from the victims of SexTation, then sent proceeds from the regime to a Nigerian criminal group, announced the Department of Justice.
Johnathan Demetrius Green, by Stone Mountain, Georgia, declared himself guilty of accusation of conspiracy recyclable in cash, said the Department of Justice. Green’s federal ministries have closest to the end of a case that began after the suicide of a Michigan’s 2022 suicide.
Public ministries said that Green and four other men used online payment systems to collect sixth entrances from the victims before sending them to a Nigerian man called “La Spina”.
The five Americans would have maintained about 20% of the money, then converting the rest to Bitcoin to pay the Nigerian man, said public ministries. Hence, the Nigerian conspirator would have sent the rest to the seationalists, who ended up being Samuel Ogoshi, Samson Ogoshi and others. The Ogoshi brothers were sentenced to 17 years of prison in September for managing an international sixteenth ring that targeted over 100 victims.
“The bosses had boys and young people created naked images”, according to the release. “After the seitionalists received those images, presumably they made sure that the victims sent funds to money recyclators based in the United States through online payment systems such as Apple Pay, Cash Apps and Zelle.”
The other four men who declared themselves guilty this year for money recycling are DinSimore Guyton Robinson, Huntsville, Alabama; Kendall Ormond London, of Lithonia, Georgia; Brian Keith Coldmon, by Peachtree Corners, Georgia; And Jarell Daivon Williams, McDonough, Georgia.
The sixth is a growing crime in the United States in which predators provide sexually explicit images or videos, mainly by minors, therefore they threaten to release the media unless one person pays. Sometimes the images are created with AI. The most common victims are the boys aged between 14 and 17. In extreme cases, the sixth has led to at least 30 suicides since 2021, according to the FBI.
The third person in the Ogoshi case is Ezekial Ejehem Robert, whom Ministries have tried to extradite in 2023. It is not immediately known if Robert is in the United States
“These people have helped and benefited from this terrible heartbreaking scheme and therefore will now have to face the consequences,” said the American prosecutor for the western district of Michigan Andrew Birge.
Scheme connected to the suicide of Michigan Teen
According to the courts of the court, the five men took at least $ 178,658 from the victims between 2020 and 2022
The Nigerian brothers set out like the age of a Demay girl and exchanged intimate photos. It was then that the conversation turned and the brothers threatened to release Demay’s explicit photos unless he paid.
Demay paid to the $ 300 brothers, who went to Green’s Apple Pay account, according to the court documents. Green sent the money to his cash account, so he bought Bitcoin funds to pay “the plug”. The money was then sent to the seationalists, who later urged Demay to act on his suicide ideas. Almost six hours later, Demay died.
Federal ministries have not yet accused the Nigerian man that the five Americans sent Bitcoin payments.
The five men could face up to 20 years in prison to the sentence.
Former FBI director Christopher Wray told the Senate Judicial Committee in December 2023 that the sixth has become a “threat in rapid emergency for the young people of America”.
“When I say quickly, emerging, it’s not that he is brand new, like you and I discussed,” he told Senator for Georgia Jon Ossoff, D-Georgia. “It has been emerging for some time, but what is new is that it has been in relief in the last year and a half.”
Usa Today spoke to the parents of the crime victims. They said the predators established a false sense of trust before turning on their victims. The parents said their teenagers died of suicide within 24 hours of the threat. A parent, Tamia Woods, whose son James Woods died of suicide on November 19, 2023, said the criminals eliminated his son’s desire for a future.
“I don’t think James knew he was a victim,” he said.
The Department of Justice has shared the FBI Security Council for victims, teenagers and parents in the press release, in which the FBI said she was aware of what is shared online and who can access their information. They said that even wary of anyone who meet can help. In the end, the agency told people to ask for help if they believe they are a victim of sixth.
“If you have been victimized online, tell someone”, according to the press release. “Being a victim of sixth is not your fault. You can overcome this challenge, even if it seems frightening and overwhelming. There are people who want to help.”
