According to the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri, the scam was run on about 13 victims who were looking for love online.
Asomani served as a middleman of sorts for the scammers, who managed to convince their victims to part with their hard-earned cash in return for gold mines, school and travel.
Over several years, he managed to garner $2,993,354. He kept some of the money and sent the rest to his cohorts in Ghana.
