Eunice Nkongho has been sentenced to two years for sending proceeds from the theft of thousands of TVs and computers to her husband in Nigeria.
A respected nursing school teacher who secretly was a key money launderer in a scheme in which criminals posed as U.S. Navy procurement officers to rip off military contractors has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Eunice Bisong Nkongho, 40, of Los Angeles, was convicted in October of moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds from the theft of thousands of TVs, computers and communications devices and sending it to her husband in Nigeria. Seven other defendants in the case, several of whom had long rap sheets, have pleaded guilty or have been convicted at trial. Nkongho had no criminal history. Her husband, Peter Unakalu, has also been charged, but remains at large, prosecutors said.
In the scheme, the defendants were accused of having thousands of big-screen televisions, iPhones, iPads, computers and other specialized communications equipment sent to warehouses they rented on the East Coast. They would then send them to the West Coast where the items would be sold, prosecutors said.
