The romance scams perpetrated by Wade’s partners were cruel, targeting vulnerable, elderly men and women and tricking them into transferring their life savings to the defendant, who then took her cut and sent the money to other members of the scheme. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Nadine Wade used a sham women’s clothing company as a front to launder over $2 million in fraud proceeds on behalf of scam artists in Nigeria and South Africa. The defendant was found guilty following a two-week trial before U.S. Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that a jury returned a guilty verdict against NADINE JAZIMNE WADE on all four counts in the Indictment, which contained money laundering and bank fraud charges.
