Like Hushpuppi, another popular Nigerian IG big boy jailed for fraud in US

A popular Nigerian Instagram celebrity, Bamidele Muraina better known as Dele Ewe, 35, of Osogbo, Nigeria, has been sentenced to 70 months in prison

He was also ordered to pay $561,125.62 in restitution, while his conspirator, Gabriel Kalembo, 33, of Zambia, was sentenced to 50 months in prison and ordered to pay $298,008.71 in restitution.

According to the US Justice Department, “These defendants stole funds from programs meant to assist American workers and families seeking to make ends meet during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Dele with his Zambian conspirator defrauded the Employment Security Department of Washington State (“ESD-WA”) by filing several fraudulent unemployment insurances (UI) claims in the names of identity theft victims who were not allowed to possess such benefits.

Between at least January 29, 2018, and April 2020, these criminals shamelessly stole people’s hard-earned tax returns and money meant to help families during the pandemic hacking into multiple tax preparation and accounting firms located in several states.

Dele gained access to the firms’ accounts stealing personally identifiable information from Washington residents to submit false claims for unemployment insurance benefits under the federal COVID-19 pandemic relief program.

Based on his fraudulent claims presented in the names of approximately 50 residents, the State of Washington distributed more than $280,000 in unemployment benefits.

His co-conspirators, including Gabriel Kalembo, recruited Zambian nationals to travel to the U.S on tourist visas to incorporate sham corporations in Georgia and open business bank accounts in the names of those corporations.

After the fraudulent funds were deposited into those accounts, Kalembo laundered the funds by cashing money orders purchased with debit cards linked to the accounts.

Na wa o

These dimwits always imagine themselves to be more intelligent than everyone else, yet they never fail to pose beside hugely expensive luxury vehicles, while boasting online about their "hard work" devoted to stealing money via fraud.

Now, that "hard work" will be inflicted on their shredded anus deep in the bowels of federal prison in America, with the result they will need diapers before long, to stop solid waste from leaking down their scrawny legs after all that drilling in the jailhouse.

Ole ni everybody.

Almost difficult to find one legit, expert freelancer or businessman or athlete or artisan who’s below 30 that you can look up to these days.
