Babajide Adesayo, a 41-year-old man from Douglasville, Georgia, was convicted by a federal jury on August 6, 2026, for laundering over $2.7 million stolen from elderly victims through romance and online fraud schemes. He was found guilty of 18 federal counts, including conspiracy and transactional money laundering.“Adesayo was a key member of a complex, transnational network that preyed upon elderly victims and siphoned their retirement savings overseas, mainly to China, Hong Kong, and Nigeria, to make recovery impossible,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “As a prolific money launderer, Adesayo facilitated the theft of nearly $3 million from victims and continued even after he was indicted, arrested, and released on bond. Now behind bars awaiting a significant sentence, this incorrigible swindler will face the full consequences of his actions.” “Adesayo helped steal millions from vulnerable victims, including elderly people who lost their hard-earned savings. He then moved that money overseas to hide it from those he had defrauded. Even after his indictment, he continued laundering stolen funds,” said Marlo Graham, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Today's conviction sends a clear message: the FBI will relentlessly pursue those who prey on vulnerable victims and profit from fraud.”“Adesayo's conviction demonstrates that those who help transnational fraud networks move stolen money will be held accountable,” said Steven N. Schrank, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Georgia and Alabama. “This case involved vulnerable victims, including seniors, who were deceived out of their life savings through online fraud schemes. HSI, alongside our federal, state, and local partners, will continue to target the financial facilitators who enable these crimes and attempt to move illicit proceeds beyond the reach of law enforcement.”According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: Between April 2020 and September 2021, fraudsters engaged unwitting, elderly victims online and corresponded with them as friends, business associates, or even romantic partners. After developing relationships with the victims, the online fraudsters made pleas to the victims for help, falsely claiming that they needed equipment for their businesses, were imprisoned, or were suffering from injuries or illnesses. The fraudsters directed most victims to send hundreds of thousands of dollars, including the victims' retirement savings and other hard-earned income, to the business accounts of Adesayo's co-defendant, Nigerian national Efemena Igbe. As soon as Igbe received funds from the victims, he immediately sent most of the money to Adesayo and tried to hide the fraudulent transactions by falsely notating that the money was intended for the purchase of cars from Adesayo's automotive business. When Adesayo received the money, he immediately sent most of it to overseas accounts in China, Hong Kong, Nigeria, and other countries. Over a period of 17 months, Adesayo received and moved over $2.7 million in victim funds.Following his arrest in June 2024, Adesayo was released on bond without the necessity of paying bail. While under indictment and awaiting trial, he continued to engage in money laundering activities. Victims transferred funds either directly to Adesayo's business accounts or to accounts belonging to others, who then forwarded the funds to him.Adesayo promptly withdrew these funds, transferring them to his own accounts or to other accounts shortly after receipt. Upon the discovery of this new criminal activity, a federal magistrate judge revoked Adesayo's bond. Since March 2, 2026, he has been in federal custody.On August 6, 2026, a federal jury found Babajide Adesayo, 41, from Douglasville, Georgia, guilty on all charges, which included two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering and sixteen counts of transactional money laundering.Sentencing is set for November 20, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., before United States District Judge Mark H. Cohen. Adesayo faces a maximum of 20 years of imprisonment for each conspiracy count, up to 10 years for each transactional money laundering count, and an additional consecutive sentence of up to 10 years for committing offenses while on release. In determining the final sentence, the Court will take into account the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which, while not mandatory, offer recommended sentencing ranges for most offenders.The investigation into this case is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, with significant assistance from the U.S. Secret Service, the Concord (New Hampshire) Police Department, the DeSoto County (Mississippi) Sheriff's Office, and the New York City Police Department.The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Bethany L. Rupert, Sara Lim, and Kelly Connors.The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia is a member of the Department of Justice's Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force.This Strike Force is dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in foreign-based fraud schemes that primarily target American senior citizens. Such schemes encompass romance scams, telephone scams, mass-mailing fraud operations, and tech-support fraud schemes.

Theresa Caputo is widely known as the Long Island Medium. Her series "LONG ISLAND MEDIUM" with TLC and her new series “THERESA CAPUTO RAISING SPIRITS” are both available to stream on major platforms. She is a New York Times best-selling author. Her podcast ‘Hey Spirit!' is available everywhere you listen. Learn more at https://theresacaputo.com Theresa recently sat down with Cybercrime Magazine during one of her popular tour stops and told us, "I'm the victim of cybercrime. When someone reaches out claiming to be Theresa Caputo and wanting to give you a reading, it's not me. I don't contact you, your dead relatives contact me. I'm not bothering anybody, it's the dead people that are bothering me. And now the scammers are bothering me!" Theresa's Facebook following tops 4 million, but scammers are exploiting her name. Fake Theresa Caputo accounts and groups – some with massive followings of their own – are posing as the Long Island Medium and defrauding victims through fake psychic readings, counterfeit event tickets, and more. “This is why we formed my fan club,” Caputo told us. “Back in 2014, we did it because people were taking advantage of my ticket prices. They were reselling fake tickets, promising them private readings, and people were paying thousands of dollars for these tickets. This is how we were really aware of what was starting to happen, but you're talking 12 years ago, before all of this blew up, and most certainly before AI.” Caputo stressed to us that she never charges for readings. Her fan club, which is accessible at https://TheresaCaputo.com, is the only way to get legitimate show tickets and reading information. The Long Island Medium also got personal with us. Theresa shared about the cyberbullying her daughter experienced, and how they fought back. “Do I like social media? Yeah, I like it because again, it's about connection and awareness, but the downside to this is that it's consuming our minds. It's allowing this unnecessary bullying and destroying people in their lives, taking advantage of people, scamming people. It's awful,” she said. • For more on cybersecurity, visit us at https://cybersecurityventures.com

There's no denying that technology advancement makes our lives better, more convenient and certainly more entertaining. BUT, there's also a bad side too, a lot of which we've all gotten a taste of in one form or another. These people had extreme experiences.--------------------------------------------SOCIAL
Imagine: After searching online for a new furry friend to join your family, you find someone who is looking to re-home a puppy. It looks promising, but there's a catch - one that leaves you without a puppy and a couple of hundred dollars short. Kristin Matthews, the marketing and communications manager with the Better Business Bureau Atlantic, tells us about a recent string of puppy scams.
What advice did your Dad give you that you still follow? A website recently shared the #1 piece of fatherly advice that modern Dads give and it's a lot more obvious than you might think! (:30) Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about! Today his options are; a barber attacked over a bad haircut, the worst excuse ever for using a counterfeit bill, and a man who rapped about robbing ATM's gets arrested for robbing ATM's. (3:49) Convenience is nice, but if you're driving the wrong way down a one way street just to save some time, that's all I need to know about you! (6:21) Have you ever fallen for an online scam?

But is it really something to worry about? Infectious disease expert Dr. Betina Fries spoke to Anna and Raven about what you need to know about this latest disease. (30:57) Tom owned a leather jacket that he LOVED and wore it everywhere. Hannah hated how it looked because it was all tattered and made him look like a “biker dude”. Finally, she had enough and she donated it without telling him and he's furious. She refuses and says she loves him; she cares to much about him to let him embarrass himself in that coat. Whose side are you on? (34:14) Jojo and her Mom have a shot at $1300! Can their combined efforts beat Raven and win them the jackpot? (40:46)

Ransomware attacks crippled Scripps Health and Colonial Pipeline. Learn why Colonial Pipeline was able to recover quickly and Scripps Health in San Diego has not. San Diego Deputy District Attorney Ryan Karkenny, a member of the Computer and Technology Crime Hight-Tech Task Force (CATCH) joins the podcast to discuss ransomware attacks, internet scams, the dark web, cryptocurrency, and how to protect yourself using digital hygiene. Read this article by DA Summer Stephan for more information: Ransomware: Don't let bad digital hygiene paralyze your computerEach episode we examine the laws on the books; three are real, one is fake. Can you guess which court ruling is the fake?In Michigan, an appellate court upheld the trial court's admission of Facebook posts in a gang murder case, saying “there is nothing on the face of the posts that would suggest that they were faked or hacked.”The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the FBI's monitoring of a dark web child porn website called “Playpen”, saying “the notion that innocent users would be on Playpen is hardly plausible.”The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the child pornography conviction of the defendant and said although the agent's laptop was infected with malware, the defendant “presented no evidence in support of his theory that ransomware on the agent's laptop planted child pornography on the defendant's laptop.”In Washington, an appellate court ruled that Bitcoin is a financial asset for purposes of state tax law, saying “Although virtual currencies such as Bitcoin do not generate cash flow for those who hold it, they are no different than other currencies which are considered financial assets."Disclaimer: The views expressed on this podcast are solely of the speakers and do not reflect the views of the Deputy DA's Association nor the District Attorney.
