** How we tracked a ‘Fake Prince’ Scammer to his Nigerian Mansion ([link removed])

A Romanian businesswoman thought she was helping Dubai's Crown Prince invest £200 million in a humanitarian foundation. She wasn't.

By the time she discovered the truth, she'd already sent $2.5 million to a Nigerian scammer — a man who'd spent years perfecting his royal impersonation, complete with fake advisers who later warned her that the supposed lover was using African “juju and voodoo” to fool her.

Drawing on just a few digital clues, OCCRP tracked him from his first LinkedIn messages to his brand-new mansion in Abuja, Nigeria, exposing the millionaire scammer living off romance scam profits.
