According to Bureau of Prisons, Paul Manafort has been transferred to MCC. If he is in solitary confinement, then he is on the 12th floor. The MCC is a very depressing place.

Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that MUFTAU ADAMU, a/k/a “Muftau Adams,” a/k/a “Muftau Iddrissu,” was sentenced today to 51 months in prison in connection with a fraud scheme based in the Republic of Ghana (“Ghana”) involving the theft of over $10 million through business email compromises and romance scams that targeted elderly victims from at least 2014 through 2018.  ADAMU pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud on February 12, 2019, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kevin Nathaniel Fox.  U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote imposed today’s sentence. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said:  “Muftau Adamu and his co-defendants conspired with others in Ghana to steal millions of dollars from businesses and vulnerable individuals across the United States through business email compromises and romance scams.  Today’s sentencing sends a message that those who facilitate frauds will face significant time in jail.
