After a four-day trial in Bismarck, a federal jury found a Nigerian man guilty of various felonies on May 16.
Nigerian citizen Christopher Agbaje was found guilty by a jury on charges of:
Money Laundering
Aiding and Abetting Wire Fraud
Aiding and Abetting Mail Fraud
The jury found Agbaje not guilty on charges of:
Wire Fraud
Mail Fraud.
United States District Court Judge Daniel M. Traynor presided over Agbaje’s jury trial in Bismarck, after Agbaje was extradited to North Dakota from the United Kingdom.
As demonstrated at trial, United States Attorney Mac Schneider says between November and December 2020, the defendant participated with others in a sophisticated scheme to defraud a North Dakota law firm out of $198,336.68.
As part of this scheme, Schneider says individuals falsely purported to be a business owner in a legal dispute with a Bismarck company and entered into a fictitious attorney-client relationship with this law firm.

Schneider says through email communications, these individuals made false statements and promises, upon which the law firm relied to their detriment. Thereafter, the law firm received a parcel containing a fraudulent Citibank check payable to the law firm in the amount of $198,850.00 and deposited this check in the law firm’s bank account.
Subsequently, at the purported business owner’s request, the law firm sent a $198,336.68 wire transfer to Agbaje’s business partner. A short time later, Agbaje directed his business partner to fraudulently initiate a $180,000.00 international wire transfer with the intent to conceal the location, ownership, and control of the law firm’s money, according to Schneider.
“Our determined career prosecutors and their law enforcement partners will cross oceans to bring international fraudsters to justice when they target North Dakota,” said Schneider. “Combatting fraud — whether it’s homegrown or from overseas — will continue to be a high priority for the United States Attorney’s Office.”
“The FBI will aggressively investigate individuals, like Christopher Agbaje, who engage in fraudulent schemes at the expense of the American public,” said Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. of FBI Minneapolis.
The District Court will schedule Agbaje’s sentencing hearing for a date and time to be determined.
