Kofi Boat, whose real name is Isaac Oduro Boateng, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a New York court on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
US prosecutors described him as one of the “chairmen” of a network that stole and laundered more than $100 million from victims.
He was arrested in Ghana in a joint operation involving the FBI and was extradited to the US in August 2025.
Shatta Wale, who calls Kofi Boat his godfather, defended him publicly after the arrest. In a TikTok Live in June 2025, the dancehall star broke down in tears and insisted that Kofi Boat was not a scammer.
