Nigerian national arrested in multimillion-dollar email and money laundering scam

HOUSTON – A 33-year-old Houston man has been taken into custody for his role in a large-scale business email compromise and money laundering scheme, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Authorities have arrested Edikan Adiakpan who is expected to make his initial appearance at 2 p.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Bray.

A federal grand jury in Houston returned a three-count indictment June 11 charging Adiakpan with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy and illegal money transmission. The indictment alleges that in 2021, Adiakpan and co-conspirators carried out a business email compromise scheme targeting companies in at least eight states, including a California research group focused on developing treatments for U.S. veterans. 

Victims received “spoofed” emails that appeared to come from known suppliers and creditors, according to the charges. They were allegedly tricked into sending payments to bank accounts the fraudsters controlled instead of the actual suppliers.

The charges further allege the conspirators laundered the funds by quickly transferring the money between multiple bank accounts they controlled. They then allegedly converted the funds into cashier’s’ checks. Adiakpan allegedly cashed the checks and kept a percentage as a fee.

Another Nigerian citizen, Ayobami Omoniyi, 26, was previously charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud as part of the same scheme and is awaiting sentencing before U.S District Judge Andrew S. Hanen. 

If convicted, Adiakpan faces up to 20 years in federal prison on the conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy charges and up to five years for the illegal money transmitting. Each conviction carries a possible $250,000 maximum fine. 

FBI – Houston and its Bryan Resident Agency and IRS Criminal Investigation conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Belinda Beek and Christine Lu are prosecuting the case.

An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

RTE Radio 1 – HSE ransomware attack

THANK YOU IRELAND! 

My debut on RTE Radio 1 – the HSE ransomware attack

Today I had the privilege to be a guest on one of the most popular national radio shows in Ireland – RTE Radio News At One with Bryan Dobson.

I spoke briefly about the Conti ransomware attack that crippled the HSE a couple of days ago. I also mentioned the submission to the National Security Strategy program that I authored back in December 2019 (and why it feels now that nothing has been done).

Querétaro and the Architecture of Deception

Digital Armor 

In our previous investigation, we unmasked the "Daily Post" network a digital "pink slime" operation designed to farm clicks and spread misinformation. But the rabbit hole goes deeper than low-budget websites. In the digital age, deception isn't just about what you read; it’s about the infrastructure of authority built to make you believe a lie a fabricated authority. 

It is time for the audience to awaken and grow up. In the "business of life," the truth is the most valuable currency we have. To protect it, we must look past the screen and into the physical reality of the organizations claiming to protect us.

Unmasking the "Daily Post" Network and the Mechanics of Misinformation

 

For many expatriates and tourists in Mexico, local English-language news outlets are a vital lifeline. However, a closer look at a sprawling network of sites operating under the "Daily Post" banner—covering regions from Oaxaca to the Yucatán—reveals a concerning pattern. These sites often prioritize monetization and "click-mining" over factual reporting, creating a hall of mirrors that can deceive even the most cautious reader.

Our investigation was sparked by a dramatic story: the alleged kidnapping of a German tourist in Puerto Escondido in 2022. Despite detailed claims of a rescue by Mexican authorities, not a single reputable international news agency, German media outlet, or official government body could corroborate the event. The conclusion is stark: the event almost certainly never happened. This wasn't just a mistake; it was a symptom of a much larger, coordinated system of deception.

Taking Control of Chaos: How Computers Sort

Imagine you have a huge stack of unsorted playing cards. Your goal is to arrange them from lowest to highest number. What seems intuitive to us is a real challenge for a computer. It has to sort a list by following very precise instructions. Here are three famous methods.
