William Kwabena Goeh, 47, of Somerset, is charged with one count of money laundering conspiracy, according to U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger.
Goeh opened or maintained business bank accounts for the purpose of “laundering the proceeds of internet-enabled romance scams,” authorities said in charging documents.
Court documents state Goeh went by the name Terry Soller on an online dating website and convinced a victim who lived in Florida and Ohio to send $400,000 to various bank accounts. Goeh later convinced the victim to send tens of thousands dollars to his accounts in the next few months, the charging documents state.
A third victim living in Nevada believed he was dating a woman named Sandra Lisagoh, who claimed her father had left her 25 gold bars and that she needed $60,000 cash to cut through red tape and collect her inheritance. The victim traveled to the New Mexico address twice “but the woman with whom he thought he had been communicating did not reside at the provided address,” charging documents state.
“Goeh received at least $530,000; Marfo received at least $4.7 million; Shannon Braxton received at least $500,000; and Chevon Braxton received at least $1.3 million,” Sellinger alleged in his statement.
