The DOJ said Adejorin targeted a charity in Maryland and another in New York between June and August 2020. “After a six-day trial, a federal jury convicted Olusegun Samson Adejorin, 32, a Nigerian national, of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information. The department added that Adejorin registered spoofed domain names to pose as employees of one charity to request withdrawals from the other. The department noted that federal sentences often fall below maximum penalties, as judges consider the U.S. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide DOJ initiative focused on immigration enforcement, organised crime, and violent crime.
