I Know Nothing About The Romance Scam Linked To Me – Abdul Inusah

Abdul Inusah, the son of the former roads and highways minister of Ghana, Inusah Fuseini, has denied the charges of a romantic fraud that have been widely published.

Abdul Inusah, age 31, was convicted of fraud and money laundering in West Virginia’s Southern District of the United States of America.

He could receive a sentence of up to 50 years in prison for conspiring with others to exploit fictitious online personas to scam people across various jurisdictions.

Inusah was found guilty by the jury of receiving stolen property, conspiring to launder money, and two counts of wire fraud. The two $2,000 Zelle wire transfers to Inusah from the funds acquired in January 2019 under the fictitious identity “Miarama” are the subject of the wire fraud charges.

Abdul, however, said during an interview with Ghana’s GHOne Television that his indictment was for money laundering rather than a romance scam.

“You will realize that there are two sides of…They’ve summarized two indictments in the publication. There is an indictment involving nine to ten people that I was not part of and that targets the romance scam and there was an indictment of which I was the only person indicted on that indictment which targets money laundering and conspiracy.”

“Somewhere in 2018 a student said he wanted to buy a car so I went there looked at the car and bought the car with my auction document because you cannot do that as an individual. After doing it, he drove his car from 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. I graduated from school 2019 and I left the state of West Virginia and I was not in contact with anybody so I wouldn’t have known what ended up with the car or the person who owned the car.

He claims that as an adult, he has always been an entrepreneur and that his business was formed in the United States of America in 2018.

He is not the first student I’ve bought a car for. Off my head, I’ve bought a car for 7 students. He is not the first and International students buy auction cars which can be repaired for cheap and have a decent car to drive. Anybody who comes to me to buy a car, I ask questions and if my questions are answered to my understanding I will go ahead to buy the car,” he said on Gh One TV.

Regarding the $2000 Zelle transfer, Inusah claimed that it wasn’t fraud but rather that his girlfriend had authorized the payment after she delivered her testimony in court.

He said that although he was charged with seven counts, the jury dismissed three of them while keeping the other four.

“For those charges that I was found guilty the sentencing guidelines box them together as one because they are dependent on each other. Even if I would be sentenced it will be a 12 to 24 months sentence.”
