Four Massachusetts Men Charged in $12.2 Million U.S. Treasury Check Fraud Scheme

Federal prosecutors have charged four Massachusetts men—David Obeng, Lynley Joseph, Lindsley Georges, and Shaunsayh Addo—with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering. The group allegedly altered U.S. Treasury checks to divert funds to shell companies between 2023 and 2026. The defendants reportedly used the proceeds to purchase luxury watches and secure a real estate loan. Obeng faces additional charges related to a separate scheme involving fraudulent bank communications.
