Felix Okpoh Biography: Nigerian BEC Fugitive Accused of Supplying Fraudulent Bank Accounts
Findings by our platform reveal that Felix Osilama Okpoh, also known as “Junior,” was born on March 9, 1989, in Nigeria. He has black hair and brown eyes.
The plain truth is that his main job in the crew was supplying bank accounts. Investigators say he handed over hundreds of accounts that received more than one million dollars in fraudulent wire transfers from the Business Email Compromise scheme that ripped off over seventy American companies for a combined six million dollars.
But here is where it gets crazy. Those accounts were used by the wider group, including Richard Izuchukwu Uzuh and Nnamdi Orson Benson, to collect the stolen money.
On August 21, 2019, he was indicted in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska on conspiracy to commit wire fraud. A federal warrant was issued the following day.
Okpoh is believed to still be in Nigeria and is considered an international flight risk. As it stands right now, the FBI keeps his photo and details public, hoping someone will tip them off.
