Joseph Badu Boateng, popularly known as Dada Joe Remix, has been extradited to the United States to face serious charges connected to a multi-million-dollar romance and inheritance scam targeting U.S. citizens.
The extradition was carried out through a joint operation involving the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), the FBI, and Ghanaian law enforcement.
According to U.S. prosecutors, Boateng is believed to be the ringleader of a sophisticated online syndicate that lured unsuspecting victims with fake romantic relationships and false claims of inherited wealth—ultimately defrauding them of millions.
In a statement, the U.S. Embassy in Ghana praised the successful operation, saying:
“This case underscores the strength of U.S.-Ghana cooperation in tackling transnational fraud and organized crime.”
Boateng was arrested in Ghana earlier this year after investigators traced multiple fraudulent activities back to him. After legal proceedings in Ghana, he was handed over to U.S. authorities and is now in custody in the U.S., awaiting trial.
The case serves as a powerful reminder of the global efforts underway to crack down on cybercrime and financial fraud targeting vulnerable populations.
