Summary

Olamide Shanu, a 35-year-old Nigerian national from Lagos, pleaded guilty on September 21, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho to conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with an international sextortion and romance-fraud scheme. Prosecutors allege Shanu and co-conspirators defrauded approximately 150 American victims of more than $2.5 million and laundered proceeds through peer-to-peer payment apps and cryptocurrency wallets before transferring funds to co-conspirators in Nigeria. He was arrested in London in November 2023, extradited from the United Kingdom in September 2025, and faces up to 20 years in prison at his December 15, 2026 sentencing.
