From Snap Fame to Federal Flame: The $8 Million Love Story Gone Wrong

Abu Trica, a.k.a. Kumi, was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by U.S. authorities. The arrest was part of a coordinated operation between Ghanaian security agencies and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The U.S. indictment alleges he was involved in an online “romance scam” that targeted mainly elderly American victims and resulted in alleged losses of over $8 million.

He often showcased luxury cars, cash displays, and high-end lifestyle content. However, U.S. authorities later alleged that a romance scam network was operating behind the scenes.
