The eight Jamaican lottery scam suspects being extradited to the USA on Wednesday
The eight members of the Montego Bay-based Lavrick Willocks lottery scam network who have been extradited are to appear in federal court in Bismarck, North Dakota today. They were extradited yesterday.
Authorities allege that the sophisticated scam bilked at least 90 mostly elderly Americans out of more than US$5.7 million.
Fifteen suspects each are charged with 66 total counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering.
Lavrick Willocks, who authorities say was the mastermind, pleaded not guilty in January.
Among the remaining defendants, one is awaiting trial in Rhode Island, another is in custody in Jamaica awaiting extradition to the U.S., and the remaining four defendants are still fugitives.
