Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, Said Shafii Farah, Abdulkarim Shafii Farah and Ladan Mohamed Ali, allegedly teamed up to bribe one of the jurors hearing the $250 million fraud trial against three of them. 

Minnesota US Attorney Andrew Luger described the bribery plot as “something out of a mob movie,” where the five people allegedly tracked down the juror and left $120,000 at her house inside a...

Saygus happened to be one of those we shared several updates on, because the phone first arrived at CES in front of a bunch of press who were weirdly into the idea of it, even if it was plainly obvious that everyone should have been skeptical.

Manhattan, NY

Two “callous” congirls duped at least 16 lonely old men out of more than $7 million in a long-running romance scam, Manhattan federal prosecutors said. 

Rosanna Lisa Stanley and Gina Guy reeled in the “elderly” marks with tall tales about kidney and liver transplants and paid the grifters big bucks for bogus business investments, prosecutors alleged. 

The romance scam ran from at least 2009 until this year when they were arrested last month, authorities said.

The heartbreakers hooked their victims through “in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, and an online dating platform,” according to court documents.
