Overview
- Federal prosecutors filed an eight-count indictment charging Frank Musoke with five counts of wire fraud and three counts of tax evasion, which carry maximum prison terms of up to 20 years per wire-fraud count and up to five years per tax count if convicted.
- Prosecutors say he siphoned more than $2 million between December 2019 and June 2023 by abusing access to a client's debit cards and bank accounts.
- The alleged spending included about $1.73 million in ATM withdrawals, roughly $165,000 on Amazon purchases, nearly $192,000 on personal travel, and more than $160,000 on other personal expenses.
- The Beverly Hills business-management firm that employed him discovered missing funds and fired him in July 2023.
- Authorities believe he fled to Uganda, where he holds dual U.S.–Ugandan citizenship, and the indictment keeps the victim anonymous as media outlets citing sources report it is Nick Cannon.
