Chukwuemeka Okorocha, a 34-year-old resident of Jersey City, New Jersey, has admitted to wire fraud related to a real estate transaction in Hampshire County, West Virginia. According to court documents and statements made during proceedings, Okorocha, also known as "Mecca," was involved in a scheme where he collaborated with a third party to impersonate a realtor. This led to the sending of a fraudulent email to the closing agent containing a payoff statement that directed payment to an account controlled by Okorocha. Consequently, the closing agent transferred $332,904.37 based on this deceptive communication.

Before the fraudulent activity was uncovered, Okorocha and another individual spent $29,440.58 of the funds. As part of his plea agreement, Okorocha has agreed to repay the amount of $29,440.58 in restitution.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarod Douglas and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble presided over the proceedings.
