The FBI arrested Nigeria’s “tech queen” Sapphire Egemasi for alleged fraud.
Their arrest stems from a federal grand jury indictment filed in 2024, accusing the suspect of committing multiple charges for crimes of Internet fraud and money laundering, which is said to have occurred between September 2021 and February 2023.
Egemasi and her Garner co-defendant allegedly murdered millions of dollars in Kentucky.
According to investigators, her role involves designing fraudulent websites that impersonate the official U.S. government field to steal login certificates and facilitate the transfer of stolen funds.
Egemasi reportedly was in Cambridge, England before her arrest, although authorities believed she had previously lived in Ghana, where she likely had contacted her colleagues.
She allegedly served as a technical leader of the group, planned the creation of fake websites and oversaw accounts under the control of the gang.
SMS records allegedly showed that in August 2022, the group stole $965,000 from Kentucky and transferred it to a PNC bank account.
In another transaction at the same time, $330,000 was transferred to the Bank of America account.
