5 U.S.-based men have been charged for their role in a sextortion scheme involving international ring led by 2 Nigerian nationals. The victims, mostly teenage boys, were coerced into sending explicit images, which were then used to extort money. The U.S.-based men were charged with money laundering conspiracy, controlling financial accounts related to the scheme, and laundering at least $178,658. The death of 17-year-old Jordan DeMay, who was a victim of this scheme, is seen as a clear example of the devastating consequences of financial scams like sextortion.
