Matthew Akande, a Nigerian national residing in Mexico, has been extradited to the United States following an investigation by the FBI Boston and the IRS. He is accused of breaking into Massachusetts tax preparation firms' computer networks and filing fraudulent tax returns. Additionally, another Nigerian, Newton Ofioritse Jemide, has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a $6 million fraud scheme and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted. In a related case, the U.S. Secret Service has seized $1.5 million from a Binance crypto account linked to Nigerian fraudster Omokri. Akande is alleged to have stolen taxpayer data to file over 1,000 fake tax returns, contributing to a broader pattern of cyber intrusion and theft involving Nigerian nationals.
