US Navy Lieutenant, a ‘New American,’ Charged in Case to Defraud US

Although this news is a week old, I’m betting most of you haven’t seen it.  Thanks to Robert for letting me know….

From ABC News:

First see this photo (with caption) ABC published!

Navy lieutenant and wife charged with conspiracy to defraud the US with inflatable boats, guns

A U.S. Navy lieutenant and his wife have been arrested for conspiracy to defraud the government, making false statements to investigators and illegally possessing a firearm, according to court documents.

The two, arrested Oct. 17, have been in custody and were expected to appear in court on Wednesday.

The indictment accuses Fan Yang, who was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, and held a top secret clearance, and his wife, Yang Yang, of attempting to transport inflatable boats through Hong Kong with their final destination being the People’s Republic of China.

The documents said Yang, who came to the United States in 1999 and became a citizen in 2006, was actively serving in the Navy in a “sensitive anti-submarine warfare unit.”

The pair raised eyebrows when they attempted to purchase engines specifically marked “for military use” through a shell company they set up, authorities said.

The husband and wife, who lived on the base, requested time off to travel to “Disney” but allegedly traveled to Sioux City, Iowa, instead, the documents said.

It is not immediately known why they traveled to Iowa, and Yang lied to his Navy supervisors about the trip, according to court documents. Credit card records showed Fang purchased a one-way ticket for a Chinese national — the person for whom the couple allegedly helped obtain illegal firearms.

Court documents also said that Yang lied on his background check to acquire the top secret security clearance.

How the heck does this happen! Whoever is doing the Navy security clearances needs to be fired!

If you want to learn more search the traitor’s name and you will find more stories, mostly in Florida media.

Increasing Numbers of Migrants from Africa/Asia Trying to Reach US

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

That is what Judicial Watch is reporting.  Thanks to reader Cathy for the tip.

This is an update of news I shared at RRW last month, here.

African migrants in Mexico demonstrate. Demand Mexico let them head to the US border. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-09-21/african-migrants-stuck-in-southern-mexico-their-american-dream-on-hold

MEXICO REPORTS 250% SPIKE IN AFRICANS TRYING TO ENTER U.S. THROUGH BORDER

Mexico has seen an astounding 250% increase in Africans trying to enter the United States through the southern border, according to the latest figures released by the Mexican government’s immigration agency, known as Unidad de Política Migratoria. The stats include the first eight months of 2019 and reveal that, during the same period last year, 1,507 Africans were apprehended in the country compared to 5,286 this year. During the same period 4,783 migrants from India and Bangladesh were also detained in Mexico, according to the data made public this month.

The information is alarming considering Africa and Bangladesh are hotbeds of terrorism and the fact that all the migrants are heading north into the United States. “These migrants, although less in numbers compared to migrants from Central America, increased significantly in the country,” a Mexican newspaper article states, confirming that “their principle objective is not to stay in Mexican territory but rather cross the border towards the United States.” The story also reveals that a growing number of Cubans, Haitians and south Americans, mainly from Brazil and Colombia, have also been apprehended by Mexican authorities trying to make their way to the U.S. border.

The spike in Africans is worrisome considering the State Department has determined that Africa is a major hub of Islamic terrorism, including al-Shabaab in the eastern part of the country and Boko Haram and ISIS in the west. Bangladesh is also a national security concern because the south Asian Islamic country is well known as a recruiting ground for terrorist groups such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). Earlier this year a congressional probe revealed that migrants from terrorist nations, especially Bangladesh, are trying to enter the United States through Mexico at record rates.

Texas alone saw a whopping 300% increase in Bangladeshi nationals attempting to sneak into the country, according to the federal investigation outlined in a lengthy report.

I’m glad to see JW getting more involved in immigration issues. They may eventually get more information out of our government on these issues through their expertise with the Freedom of Information Act.

Who is encouraging this movement of Africans to Mexico and on to the US Border?

In 2011 I speculated it was NGOs and suggested a Congressional investigation was desperately needed.  Of course, for some reason, no one is interested in answering that question.

Trump Delays Refugee Arrivals; Colorado Refugees Live in Poverty; and Refugee Industry Lobbies Governors

~ Ann Corcoran

Those are just some of the topics at the newly reconstructed Refugee Resettlement Watch this week.

Needless to say, refugee news is breaking out everywhere as the refugee resettlement contractors and their friends in Open Borders Inc. agitate and organize against the President.

I’ve got some good frauds and crooks posts in my queue, but wanted to direct some of you who are most interested in the US Refugee Admissions Program back to RRW where news is busting out all over.

Taking advantage of the President’s Executive Order that attempts to give some local say-so about refugee placement, the contractors have launched a campaign to get letters into the White House in support of more refugees from Leftwing governors.

Refugee Contractor/Community Organizer Tells Followers to Get to their Governor

And, then, much to my surprise a Colorado University study says that refugees are living in cycles of poverty.  I’m not surprised about that fact, only surprised anyone on the Left is admitting it!

Colorado Study: Refugees Living in Cycle of Poverty

Today we learned that refugee arrivals for FY2020, that began on October first, have been further delayed causing the resettlement agencies great anguish as that means their taxpayer-funded income is delayed!

As October Ends, No New Refugees Admitted to the US

Another Nigerian Sentenced for Cyber Scam, also Committed Marriage Fraud to Stay in US

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 1 Comment

I promise this isn’t a blog just for Nigerian scammers we ‘welcomed’ to America even if it seems that way sometimes!

Maybe we have a special visa I didn’t know about to attract the best and brightest scammers in the world to ply their trade while living among us!

First thing I did after seeing the news from the US Justice Department about Nigerian national Olufolajimi Abegunde getting a six year sentence in the slammer (the taxpayers must now pay for!) was to see if there was a picture this time.

Well, what do you know there is!

Abegunde received an MBA from Texas A&M which gives us a clue that he came to the US on a student visa.

You will see below that he committed marriage fraud to stay—a common pathway for ‘new American’ wannabees.

The photo at right has been used widely around the world (not much US media coverage of his case), but Nigerian writers are promoting the propaganda that Abegunde was being racially profiled by the feds in Tennessee.

In January of this year, according to an African blogger, Abegunde is innocent and he was scapegoated by racist feds operating in racist Memphis, Tennessee:

Other updates to the saga also shows that a local judge in Memphis TN area, the city where he is being held, confirmed that Federal authorities around TN area act and prosecute based on racial bias.

Judge Fowlkes of Memphis TN confirmed this while trying a gun charge case.The case involved a white man who records say sold an undercover officer 100 ecstasy pills for $800, while his black partner stayed in the car with a gun.

Fowlkes asked why the white defendant wasn’t slapped with the same gun charge as the black defendant since they worked together. The gun charge carres an automatic 5 year sentence just for the black person.

The above case shows that Olufolajimi’s claims of racial mistreatment is valid and should be taken into account. His family wishes to draw the attention of current Presidential aspirants and other concerned Nigerians to look into this matter as Nigeria cannot continue to fold it’s arms while it’s citizens are mistreated on the basis of skin color.

Now have a look at the US Justice Department case against the pure-as-the-driven-snow Abegunde:

Nigerian Citizen Sentenced for Role in International Cyber-Fraud Scheme

Memphis, TN – A citizen of Nigeria residing in Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced to 78 months in prison yesterday for his role in an international cyber fraud scheme….

[….]

Abegunde and Ramos-Alonso participated in a criminal organization in which members “spoofed” emails and created fake profiles on dating websites in order to fool victims into sending money to bogus bank accounts under the control of members of the conspiracy. The proceeds would be laundered and subsequently wired out of the United States to destinations including West Africa.

The organization as a whole is believed to have caused more than $10,000,000 in damage to United States citizens and businesses.

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said: “Frauds perpetrated through the Internet cause significant financial harm to businesses and individuals in our District and throughout the United States. Because those committing Internet fraud involve foreign nationals and others who hide behind technology, the cases are difficult – but not impossible – to investigate. We will continue to deploy our resources to take on these difficult cases, and we are pleased to achieve justice for the victims in this case.”

Read the details about how the crooks set up their cyber crimes, but below we see how Abegunde used marriage fraud to stay in the US once he finished ‘studying’ at Texas A & M.  You can’t make this up!

The Justice Department continues…

In addition to his financial activities, Abegunde also engaged in a conspiracy to commit marriage fraud. Abegunde was married during his studies at Texas A&M, but divorced his wife in 2016 to marry a U.S. service member through whom he could obtain immigration and health care benefits and also open new bank accounts.

He continued to live with his first wife in Atlanta while his U.S. service member wife was deployed to South Korea.

While incarcerated and awaiting trial in the Western District of Tennessee, Abegunde continued his conspiratorial activities, trying to convince his fake spouse, who has since filed for divorce, to refuse to testify against him.

Abegunde is contesting the divorce from his fake spouse.

Abegunde also engaged in witness tampering by sending a self-written Motion to Dismiss bearing his former attorney’s name and professional attestation. The evidence at trial established that Abegunde drafted and sent the motion, which his attorney expressly did not authorize, to his faux spouse in an effort to deceive her into not testifying against him.

Read it all here.

You wouldn’t know it if you just watch cable news and read your local paper, but there are many, many fraud schemes (perpetrated by foreign nationals)  busted every day by the Trump Administration.  The President should be bragging about the crooks and criminals he is getting off the streets.

At each rally he should showcase some of the best cases his Justice Department has prosecuted.

Moving Gang Wars from the Middle East, Africa, Central America to Your American City

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 4 Comments

That is the issue raised by Daniel Horowitz at Conservative Review yesterday, thanks to reader Stephen for bringing it to my attention.

Horowitz raises a troubling subject that surely you have become aware of, and if not, you should pay attention now!

Headlined, “Importing both sides of Middle East gang wars into OUR communities,”  Horowitz features Somali gangs in Minneapolis.

(Somalis are from Africa, but we won’t quibble over geography especially as we are also bringing all of the Islamic fighting factions of the ME here as well! I’m digressing but where is the wisdom in bringing Iraqi Sunnis and Iraqi Shiites, which have been killing each other for centuries, and placing them in the same US cities?)

Mahad Ali charged in the murder of Mustafa Ali in “Little Mogadishu” Minnesota. https://www.fox9.com/news/18-year-old-charged-after-gang-feud-turns-deadly-in-minneapolis

And, consider that mass migration isn’t just adding violence to OUR neighborhoods, but every one of these crimes costs us enormous amounts of money for law enforcement, lawyers, courts, interpreters and incarcerations of the ‘new American’ criminals.

Here is just a bit of the post, read it all for more information and to follow links:

 

“Prosecutors have charged a teenager in the shooting death of 25-year-old Mustafa Ali last week, in the latest sign that an ongoing conflict between rival East African gangs is spilling into north Minneapolis.”

Those are the words of a Star Tribune article from last week describing the latest gang-on-gang attacks within the Somali community in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, gang-on-gang violence is not exactly a newsworthy story in America, but what should concern us is that we are importing both sides of pre-existing gang wars from half way around the world. All those who are promoting mass migration and refugee resettlement from every war-torn Middle Eastern country don’t want you to study what has already happened in our own communities as a result of their policies.

In the case of the aforementioned homicide of Mustafa Ali, it’s believed to have stemmed from a fight between the “Somali Outlaws” and “1627 Boys” gangs. Unfortunately, this is nothing new for the Minneapolis area, at least not since it became Little Mogadishu beginning in the 1990s.

[….]

We’ve brought in roughly 130,000 Somalis since 1993, most of them through the refugee program. At least 30,000 initially settled in the Minneapolis area, and their population is now close to 74,000. They have turned out to be one of the most problematic immigration groups we’ve admitted in recent years, with the local U.S. attorney and a federal judge observing a pervasive terror recruiting problem in the greater Minneapolis area with “its tentacles spread out.”

[….]

Americans wake up every day thankful not to live in other countries that are plagued by violence and poverty. Unfortunately, over time, thanks to irresponsible mass migration, the vices of those countries are brought in to live in their own neighborhoods without their say in the matter.

More here.

I could just as well have posted this news at Refugee Resettlement Watch because the vast majority of Somalis in the US came as ‘refugees’ thanks to the UN, the US State Department and its resettlement contractors, but RRW hasn’t recovered its readership since the speech police removed it from the internet this summer, so I figured more of you would see it here at ‘Frauds and Crooks.’

Please check RRW every day because, refusing to be censored and not to be intimidated, I am writing there on most days!

By the way, we do thank the President for trying to give local people a say in the refugee resettlement process, but we must be honest and tell readers that the recent Executive Order mentioned by Trump at a rally in Minnesota, won’t do that.
