Hajia 4 Reall still has millions to spend as partial payment for her crime, so even though she was busted, she is not broke. The socialite from Ghana, whose true name is MONA FAIZ MONTRAGE, entered a guilty plea to charges related to her role in the money laundering of several romance scams. The Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney made this announcement on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.♠
In a formal statement, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated that “MONTRAGE admitted guilt to receiving stolen funds through conspiracy today in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave.”
According to the US Attorney, “Mona Faiz Montrage was arrested abroad and is currently facing serious consequences for her actions after she knowingly received money stolen from older Americans through romance scams.”
“Romance scams such as Montrage’s harmed her vulnerable, elderly victims not only in the cruel betrayal of trust in the realization that their online romantic connection was fiction but by also callously stealing their money,” he stated.
Mr. Williams came to the conclusion that “This Office and our law enforcement partners are relentless in bringing fraudsters who target Americans to justice, no matter where they are” .
This indicates that Hajia 4 Real is forfeiting the proceeds of her crime to the United States authorities and is paying $4,329,516.82 in total, of which $2,164,758.41 is going to the victims .The expected sentencing for Hajia 4 Real is set by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.
