Oluseun Omole, a Nigerian residing in Texas, has been found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, announced Damian Williams, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.

According to Williams, Omole was involved in a consumer electronics scam that defrauded individuals of goods worth over $12 million. He was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The scheme orchestrated by Omole and his associates included various scams, such as online marketplace scams, romance scams, and employment scams. They would deceive victims into sending consumer electronics and other items to Omole under false pretenses.

Omole utilized a business corporation named “Tobylink Impressions” to perpetrate the fraud, receiving millions of dollars worth of fraudulently obtained goods over a five-year period. These items were then repackaged and shipped to co-conspirators in Nigeria in exchange for significant sums of money.

Following his guilty plea before Judge Katharine Parker, Omole faces sentencing by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman on July 30, 2024. As part of his plea bargain, Omole has agreed to pay restitution and forfeit seized assets, including various consumer electronics and goods.

Williams emphasized that individuals involved in such fraudulent schemes will face significant legal consequences, highlighting the severe impact on thousands of victims who believed they were engaging with legitimate buyers, romantic partners, or prospective employers.
