## Resource

A Tennessee man, Jafaar September Nyangoro, 53, just pleaded guilty to a massive fraud scheme where he and a German accomplice hacked into a nonprofit’s finance director’s email and tricked Fresno County into rerouting $1.5 million to a fake bank account. The county fell for it—until the bank flagged the transfers and reversed them. Nyangoro panicked, sending a WhatsApp message warning “we’re in deep s.” Charged in May 2025, he now faces up to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and restitution. Fresno County is demanding a harsh sentence, calling it a betrayal of taxpayer trust. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
