Ghanaian national Joseph Kwadwo Badu Boateng, popularly known as "Dada Joe Remix", has pleaded guilty in a United States court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Boateng, who was extradited from Ghana to the United States in June 2025, admitted to participating in a scheme that defrauded elderly Americans over a 10-year period through deceptive online relationships.
As part of his guilty plea, he also agreed to pay approximately US$4.4 million in restitution.
The United States said it will continue to work closely with the Government of Ghana and international law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cybercrime and transnational criminal networks that target American victims.
