A Ghanaian man accused of orchestrating a multi-million dollar fraud operation has been extradited to the United States to face charges, according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Ghana.
The suspect, identified as Joseph Badu Boateng—known by the alias “Dada Joe Remix”—was handed over to U.S. authorities after a collaborative operation involving Ghanaian law enforcement, the FBI, and special agents from the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.
According to the embassy’s announcement shared via social media, Boateng allegedly led a transnational ring that exploited romance and inheritance scams to defraud American victims of millions of dollars. Cooperation between the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) special agents at the U.S. Embassy in Ghana, Ghanaian authorities, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was key in this operation. The U.S. Embassy hailed the joint efforts that led to Boateng’s extradition and reaffirmed the commitment of both nations to tackling cyber-enabled crime.
He is now in U.S. custody and expected to appear before a federal court to answer to the charges.
