UK-Based Nigerian Man Arrested by FBI over $100k Broadway Ticket Scām

 


The FBI has arrested 47-year-old Ajibola Oduntan, a UK-based Nigerian who also holds an Irish passport, for allegedly running a ticket sc+m that defra¥ded Kentucky Performing Arts (KPA) of more than $100,000 during the Broadway musical W+cked in late 2023.


Oduntan faces charges of wire fra¥d and conspiracy in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Investigators say he stole credit card details of U.S. citizens to buy at least 61 tickets from KPA, which he later resold on StubHub, a major ticket resale platform.


The fra¥d surfaced after banks processed chargebacks, forcing KPA to absorb heavy losses. The theatre reported the case to the FBI, submitting transaction data including names, emails, and IP addresses tied to the scheme.


Despite using VPNs, the FBI traced funds from StubHub through PayPal accounts and into Oduntan’s Revolut and Allied Irish Bank accounts in Ireland. Court filings show nearly $350,000 was funneled from StubHub into PayPal between January 2023 and July 2024.


Special Agent Daniel Heath linked multiple PayPal and StubHub accounts—registered with emails such as fenan*****@gmail.com and roman*****@gmail.com—directly to Oduntan. His U.S. visa application also listed a phone number tied to the fra¥dulent accounts.


Authorities arrested Oduntan when he arrived in the U.S. in late August. He pleaded not guilty and is being held at Grayson County Detention Centre. A grand jury indicted him on September 3, with trial set for November 10.

    There's a BIG NEWS for Facebook Creators By Glen Dave Starting from August 31, 2025, Facebook will be replacing its current mon£tization program with a new Content Mon€tization Program.  My people, these are what they are changing:  1. So instead of 10,000 followers, you’ll now only need 5,000 followers to monetize.  2. Fact-checker is gone: No more content takedowns from fact-check tools. I'm very excited about this one because these Fact-checkers are something else, they can take down your Content for no reason. Most of them working with Facebook are Nigerians oo.

MONEY IS INDEED THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, VDM REPLIES PHYNA

Image
  VDM REPLIES PHYNA: Money is indeed the root of all evil. Immediately I saw the list of the things Phyna wanted from Dangote, I smiled.  N1billion was at the top, scholarship for her sister's kids, her sister flown abroad amongst others, I just shook my head. If I had made it to the meeting, we will not speak about money.  We would request that her sister be flown abroad first, then scholarship and Dangote should place Ruth on Salary for life. She probably didn't like my body language when she showed me the list and when I asked that the bikeman should be added.  What secret is there about your family matter that has been on blogs since last week? Is your sister having two kids something to hide in a case like this? Should that be a secret to the public? Why didn't you tell the public you demanded for N1billion from Dangote. You only came back to cry to the public when things didn't go your way
