The Swedru-based businessman, whose real name is Frederick Kumi, was arrested by a team of Ghanaian security operatives on December 11, 2025.

According to the US Justice Department, he was allegedly part of a romance fraud syndicate that defrauded elderly Americans out of more than $8m.

He faces charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and a forfeiture specification if extradited to the United States.
