A woman who invested in money laundering got scammed by a Nigerian
So of course she called the police to get her money back - OIC.
Nigerian man convicted for money scam
November 24, 2017
- A Nigerian man was convicted yesterday to a year in prison and ordered to pay $4,000 to a woman he scammed, persuading her to invest in a money laundering and printing business. Judge Sour Linna of Phnom Penh Municipal Court identified the convict as Honla Eric Saint Germain, 43.
Mr Saint Germain was arrested at Aeon Mall on May 8, after Kim Thida, his victim, pressed charges against him for fraud.
According to police reports, Mr Saint Germain and Ms Thida became acquainted in April 2017 on Facebook’s Messenger application.
After growing closer, Mr Saint Germain asked Ms Thida to join him in an illegal money laundering and printing venture.
He persuaded her to give him $4,000 to start the business, gaining her trust by showing her money printing equipment and promising her 50 percent of all profits.
After receiving the money, Mr Saint Germain fled and could not be contacted. Ms Thida then went to the police to press charges.

What a fool. That was an obvious scam.
I, however, have gotten in the ground floor of investing in an amazing and secret device that turns plain black paper into US dollars right before your very eyes. I've seen it work. But don't tell anyone.

Did the woman get convicted of something? Knowingly investing in illegal activities must also be against the law...
