Indigenous Indian national Ahmed Maqbul Syed, 60, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in laundering money obtained from a fraudulent scheme targeting the elderly. According to prosecutors, Syed was part of a conspiracy involved in a "tech support" and "government imposter" fraud scheme that ensnared elderly victims across the United States, including Arizona.
The court also ordered Syed to pay over USD 2.4 million in restitution to the victims, the US Justice Department stated. The fraudsters duped victims into believing their accounts had been compromised, tricking them into wiring money or purchasing gift cards.
