Ghana’s nightlife mogul and alleged crypto kingpin, Nana Kojo Boateng, popularly known as "Dada Joe Remix," has been extradited successfully to the United States to face romance scam charges.

This was made known on the Embassy's Facebook page on July 1, 2025, following a collaborative effort between the Embassy's Diplomatic Security Service special agents and Ghanaian authorities who offered support to the FBI in the operation.

Mr Boateng has been charged with leading a fraud ring that targeted Americans through deceptive romance and inheritance ploys, resulting in multimillion-dollar losses.

Thus, he is in the USA now to face prosecution.

A secret FBI operation last month led to the arrest of Dada Joe Remix.

Sources said he was “scooped up Rambo-style” over his alleged involvement in fraudulent financial activities.

Even though people have known him as a big player in the oil and gas business, rumors had it that he might have been involved in shady activities behind the scenes.

Panic reportedly gripped Accra’s elite social circles since the news broke.

Some prominent figures allegedly involved in cryptocurrency, forex trading, and high-end real estate have also allegedly gone into hiding.

It will be recalled that in 2022, the Nigerian social media influencer Ramon Abbas, who called himself Ray Hushpuppi and flaunted a lavish lifestyle supported by laundering millions of dollars, was sentenced in Los Angeles to more than 11 years in federal prison.

Ramon Abbas, 40, was also ordered by a federal judge to pay $1.7 million in restitution to two fraud victims, according to a statement from the United States Department of Justice.Abbas was “one of the most prolific money launderers in the world,” Don Alway, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said in the statement.

Prosecutors said Abbas and a Canadian man laundered money from various online crimes, including bank cyberheists and business email compromise, or BEC, a prolific crime in which crooks hack into email accounts, pretend to be someone they’re not, and fool victims into wiring money where it doesn’t belong.

Abbas had more than two million Instagram followers before he was arrested in 2020 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

His social media posts showed him living a life of luxury, complete with private jets, ultra-expensive cars, and high-end clothes and watches.

“I hope someday I will be inspiring more young people to join me on this path,” read one Instagram post by Abbas, who pleaded guilty in April 2021 to one count of conspiracy to engage in money laundering.
