In related news, The United States Attorney’s Office has announced that a Ghanaian man identified as Derrick “Van” Yeboah has pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to stealing over $10 million from U.S. victims through romance scams and business email compromise schemes.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office, Derrick “Van” Yeboah was part of a Ghana-based criminal organisation that collectively defrauded victims of more than $100 million.

They further detailed that Derrick “Van” Yeboah was extradited to the United States in August 2025.

Reports suggest that the United States is working closely with the Government of Ghana and other international partners to investigate and prosecute cyber and transnational criminals perpetrating crimes against Americans.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in a press release detailed, “United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, announced the guilty plea of DERRICK VAN YEBOAH, a/k/a “Van,” for his role in an international criminal organization that stole more than $100 million from victims via romance scams and business email compromises.  VAN YEBOAH pled guilty today to conspiracy to commit wire fraud before U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian.

“Derrick Van Yeboah pled guilty today to a massive criminal scheme targeting elderly men and women in online romance scams,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.  “Many New Yorkers search for companionship online, and no one deserves to have their vulnerability met with fraud and theft.  Van Yeboah cruelly exploited those vulnerabilities for over $10 million in illicit profit.  Today’s plea is a reminder to be vigilant online—especially on dating websites, never give money to someone you just met—and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”
