Man Sentenced to 57 Months for Laundering Funds from Lottery Fraud Scheme Targeting the Elderly Published: 02 May 2021 02 May 2021
Tucson, Arizona - Omar Stephenson, 32, a Jamaican-born man living in Snellville, Georgia, was sentenced Monday by United States District Judge James A. Soto to 57 months in prison. Stephenson is one of four co-defendants who have been charged in connection with a lottery fraud scheme. Stephenson previously pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering.
Starting in 2015 through mid-2019, Stephenson participated in a scheme where Jamaican-based scammers called elderly victims in the United States, claiming the victims had won a lottery. To receive their winnings, the victims were told they must first pay money for taxes and fees. Stephenson’s role in this scheme was to launder the fraudulent proceeds for fellow co-conspirators in Jamaica. The loss suffered by the victims exceeded $900,000.
