Dada Joe Remix has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in a U.S. court.
Born Joseph Kwadwo Badu Boateng, Dada Joe Remix was extradited from Ghana to the United States in June 2025.
In his plea agreement, Boateng admitted that he and his co-conspirators engaged in a romance and inheritance fraud scheme from 2013 through March 2023, targeting the elderly from Arizona and around the United States.
The co-conspirators pretended to be romantically involved with the victims through online dating sites, text, or other electronic communications. The co-conspirators also falsely represented that they had received an “inheritance” of gold and jewels and that to release such items to the victims, taxes and other fees would be required.
He also agreed to pay restitution totalling approximately $4.4 million.
Meanwhile, Boateng’s sentencing is scheduled for September 8, 2026, before United States District Judge Angela M. Martinez.
