Dada Joe Remix, whose real name is Joseph Badu Boateng, was extradited from Ghana to the United States (US) to face criminal charges in connection with an alleged multi-million-dollar fraud scheme that involved inheritance and romance frauds.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Diplomatic Security Service, among other US and Ghanaian security agencies, worked together to enable the extradition. Special agents at the US Embassy in Ghana were instrumental in helping the FBI with the extradition process, according to a joint statement from the US Embassy and the Diplomatic Security Service.
“Diplomatic Security Service special agents at the US Embassy, Ghana, worked with Ghanaian authorities to assist the FBI in the extradition of Joseph Badu Boateng, aka Dada Joe Remix. Boateng was indicted on charges of running a fraud ring that used romance and inheritance schemes to defraud US victims of several million dollars. The subject is now in the United States to face justice,” the statement said.
This extradition is a component of a larger federal effort to disrupt global fraud schemes that target elderly individuals in particular.
In keeping with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the US Department of Justice reaffirmed its dedication to safeguarding older Americans who are at risk.
On May 28, 2025, Dada Joe Remix was taken into custody in Ghana after the US requested his extradition.
He is charged with participating in a global fraud conspiracy that lasted for ten years.
He was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in the District of Arizona on May 30, 2025.
Boateng and his friends allegedly planned a romance and inheritance scam between 2013 and 2023, tricking elderly victims into thinking they were entitled to priceless gold and jewelry, according to court documents from the US Attorney’s Office.
They tricked victims into believing that these goods could only be released after paying fictitious taxes and fees.
As Boateng is ready to stand trial in the United States, FBI officials have promised to keep up their fight against fraud schemes that take advantage of some of society’s most vulnerable people.
