According to the FBI Wanted List, Igwilo and his conspirators, between 2014 and 2016, impersonated and stole identities of bank employees and U.S. government officials.
They were said to have promised fake investment opportunities and boosted the believability of such investments by allegedly recruiting U.S. citizens to impersonate bank officials during in-person meetings with the victims.
Within this period, Igwilo, it was said, perpetrated approximately a 100 million dollar fraud scheme defrauding multiple U.S. financial institutions.
