Held in US For Lottery Scamming
J Wah Wa was arrested earlier this month while visiting Florida and is currently jailed in the Miami area. Federal authorities in the United States have now charged Jamaican disc jockey, ZJ Wah Wa, in an ongoing investigation into a lottery scam that targeted elderly victims in the Dakotas and elsewhere. Attorney, Herman Frank Rubio, who represented the Jamaican for his initial court appearance in Florida, says he has agreed to be transferred to North Dakota.
Deon-ville O'Hara is among 26 people who in the last year have been indicted by federal grand jury in North Dakota. He is charged with three counts, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and money laundering. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.
O'Hara and others allegedly ran a lottery scam in Jamaica that induced elderly victims throughout the United States to send millions of dollars to them to cover fees for lottery winnings. O'Hara would travel to the U.S. to pick up money from victims, prosecutors said.
