Just recently Sammy Krane was arrested in the united States for credit card fraud, here is another Nigeria Babalola Falemi, also know as Sauce Kid and Sinzu in the music industry.
Sauce kid was sentenced to two years in federal prison after stealing USD15,388 during a visit last summer to the Treasure Valley.
He obtained stolen bank card numbers and identifying information for their owners. He then encoded the account numbers onto blank plastic cards. After using an automated system to change account PINs, he was able to withdraw cash from bank ATMS and buy merchandise from stores between July 23 and 26, Idahostateman reports.
All of the losses took place at Boise ATMs owned by Idaho Central Credit Union and at Albertsons stores in Meridian, court documents alleged.
Reports also confirmed that the Police arrested Falemi at the Boise Airport as he was about to board a flight. He was caught with a card encoding device and most than USD6000 in cash.
He was initially charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, eight counts each of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, and possession of 15 or more fraudulent bank cards.
He pleaded guilty to one of the counts of aggravated identity theft. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed the other counts. Senior U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge also placed him on one year of supervised release after his prison term.
The cover of his 2015 album “Industreet” shows Falemi with his hands behind his back, clad in gold-plated bracelets, rings — and handcuffs. One of the songs on that album is titled “Man Make the Money.”
Meanwhile, Nigerian superstar musician, Innocent Idibia, a.k.a 2baba has reacted to the recent arrest and detention of Dammy Krane in Miami United States, for theft, credit card and identity fraud.
Dammy Krane faces nine felony charges in Miami-Dade criminal court for credit card forgery and grand theft.
