Obani, New York – A woman from Virginia pleaded guilty on Friday for a conspiracy for banking fraud for her role in a national scheme that uses stolen identities to steal millions of financial institutions, Federal prosecutors said.

Sherry Ozmore, a 56-year-old from Richmond, admitted that he was acting as a “runner” in the fraud ring, presenting victims of identity theft in banks and credit unions to withdraw money. Prosecutors said she received more than $ 195,000 deceptively in five months in 2023, receiving only a small share of the stolen funds.

The replacement act accuses many persons, including the alleged Olvasen Adekoya leaders, 39 years old, and 60. David Danish, both Nigerian citizens, with the orchestration of the scheme. Prosecutors say the group has stolen personal information from victims in the United States, opening fraudulent accounts and accessing stolen funds, losing over $ 1.7 million.

The FBI Office and the US Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation after three 2022 arrests of three suspects in Cohoes, New York, for which he was trying to commit bank fraud.

Ozmore is sentenced to a later date, while several co-defenders, including Adeecoya and Danian, are expecting a lawsuit on bank fraud accusations, money laundering and aggravated identity theft.
