From March 2018 to August 2021, Warrior received funds from victims and transmitted them to other scheme participants, both domestically and internationally. He created personal and business bank accounts and formed a limited liability company called The Golden Voice of Orientals to manage his money-transmitting activities. Warrior communicated with other participants via WhatsApp, sharing bank account details and negotiating his fee, typically 20 percent or more of the transactions.
Warrior’s actions facilitated the transfer of more than $700,000, leading to victim losses of at least $467,912. The investigation was led by the FBI’s Baltimore and Salt Lake City Field Offices and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Authorities emphasized the importance of reporting elder fraud to aid law enforcement in targeting such schemes.
