District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Abdoul Aziz Bah (DOB 05/31/94), also known as (AKA) Richard Anderson of Stockbridge, Georgia, pled guilty on August 27, 2024, to one felony count of money laundering.
In April 2023, while using the false name Richard Anderson, Bah created multiple false limited liability corporations (LLCs) for the sole purpose of receiving and laundering large amounts of cash stolen from real estate transactions. On March 1, 2023, a Newbury Park family was defrauded on their attempted purchase of a local home by inadvertently following fraudulent wire instructions directing them to wire over $200,000 to an account that was actually under the control of Bah, not the victims’ escrow company.
Bah is scheduled to be sentenced on September 26, 2024, at 8:30 am in courtroom 26 of the Ventura County Superior Court where he faces up to three years in jail.
