A suspect involved in a Ksh.10 million Canada jobs scam has been arrested in Eldoret, Kenya. The individual is accused of defrauding victims by falsely promising employment opportunities abroad. In a separate case, Jean Emmanuel Morlon, also known as Lamarca J. Benjamin, was arraigned at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for a gold scam involving Ksh.15.5 million. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Another individual, Ronald Osonga Khejeri, was charged with defrauding an investor, Tanner Caldwell Cook, of Ksh.179 million in a fake gold scheme. He allegedly conspired with others between March 31 and May 30, 2024, to falsely promise the sale of 3,370 kilograms of gold. Khejeri denied the charges and was released on a cash bail of Ksh.400,000. In Japan, Mizuho Bank revealed that a former employee stole ¥66 million from customers' safe deposit boxes in 2019. The employee, a woman in her 30s, used unauthorized access to the keys to commit the theft. The bank has since compensated the affected customers, and CEO Katsuhiko Kato publicly apologized for the incident.
