OPERATION GHOST BUSTERS: Yesterday the FBI and our partners announced charges against 5 subjects in an ongoing op to disrupt and dismantle a large-scale fraud scheme stealing funds from taxpayer-funded student aid relief programs, with at least $32 million in losses.
These subjects were allegedly part of a massive scheme to provide bank accounts for foreign actors to receive fraudulent student-aid refunds. The alleged fraudsters would steal personal information from unsuspecting U.S. citizens and use the information to falsely open student aid accounts at universities and community colleges – then fraudulently obtaining federal student aid while not actually attending school. The subjects were ‘Ghost Students.’
Many of those accounts received hundreds—or even thousands—of payments associated with hundreds of U.S. victims.
The FBI has over 20 field offices engaged in this investigation – and within the last two weeks seized $750,000 in cryptocurrency as part of the investigation. The 5 subjects charged today are a major step in an ongoing investigation.
Thanks to @FBIRichmond, @TheJusticeDept, @AAGMcDonald, and Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Assets Recovery Agency, and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for their ongoing work with us in this case. Fraud no longer has sanctuary in America.

Justice Diana Kavedza: Mackenzie and his co-accused heavily relied on the Books of Maccabees to justify their conduct. This court finds that the Books of Maccabees are not divinely inspired scriptures or authoritative scriptures of Christian teaching.

Today, October 15th, is far more than just a date on the calendar, it is a sacred intersection of life and eternity. Marking another year of my own birth on this very day brings a bittersweet reflection, knowing it is also the date my beloved younger brother, Baba Raila Amolo Odinga, departed to be with the Lord. To have been born on this day and for you to have departed on this same date is a divine testament to the invisible thread that binds our souls. Physical separation cannot touch a brotherhood written in the heavens.
As I mark the anniversary of my birth, I carry your spirit within mine bound by a shared journey that transcends time, and an eternal connection that death has no power to break. Rest peacefully in the light, my brother.
I want to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude to everyone who made today an unforgettable and beautiful surprise.
Thank you to my loving spouses, Dr. Ann Oburu and Mama Judith Oburu, for your constant love, warmth, and care. Thank you to the dedicated Nairobi Hospital staff for your exceptional professionalism and kindness, and to the ODM fraternity, wonderfully represented today by Trustee Elder Joshua Kawino, for standing steadfastly with our family.
Special thanks go to my domestic staff at home and the hardworking team at Pawaa Centre for your dedication, loyalty, and thoughtfulness in putting this together.
Your love and presence have made this solemn yet special day truly comforting. May God bless you all abundantly.
