The US government has underscored the gravity of Hajia4Reall's fraudulent activities, involving laundering over $2 million for six years, warranting a substantial sentence.

In a court submission by the prosecution, Hajia4Reall's involvement in receiving funds from more than 40 victims, deceived by her enterprise, was highlighted.

The crimes ranged from romance scams to gold scams and money laundering and others.

It was emphasized that Hajia4Reall allegedly amassed over $2 million from victims through various fraudulent schemes over six years, from 2013 to 2019.

The prosecution noted that she maintained multiple bank accounts in the Bronx, New York, where she laundered proceeds from approximately 40 victims.

Furthermore, the US government pointed out that Hajia4Reall's actions were part of a larger criminal conspiracy based in Ghana, targeting Americans.

They stressed that despite leniency during the trial process, her substantial involvement in defrauding elder men through romance scams was undeniable.

Several of Hajia4Reall's bank accounts were purportedly tied to a beauty supply store, allowing her to receive and launder significant sums without arousing suspicion.

US government advocates for severe sentencing of Hajia4Reall

Based on these details and her role in the fraud conspiracy, the US government is urging a stringent sentence for Hajia4Reall.

They argued that her continued criminal activities were not isolated incidents but a sustained pattern of choices to evade the law.

"In determining an appropriate sentence, the statute mandates that judges impose a penalty sufficient to reflect the seriousness of the offense, uphold respect for the law, and ensure just punishment," the US Courts stated.

They emphasized the need for deterrence against similar criminal conduct, protection of the public from further offenses, and providing effective corrective measures for the defendant.

Thus, the US Courts are calling for a substantial prison term for Hajia4Reall, considering the severity and prolonged nature of her criminal behavior.
