George Aboagye and Dennis Jordan have pleaded guilty to money laundering related to phishing scams targeting a San Francisco-based company and other victims. Aboagye entered his plea today, while Jordan pleaded guilty on July 10, 2025.
Aboagye, aged 44 from Stone Mountain, Georgia, and Jordan, aged 39 from Dallas, Texas, were indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2024. They were charged by superseding informations in July 2025.
Court documents reveal that in December 2019, Aboagye laundered $922,445.34 obtained fraudulently from a San Francisco business through an email scam. Employees received a fake email claiming to be from the business’s service provider, leading them to transfer the funds to a fraudulent account. Aboagye and others used this account to launder the proceeds.
To hide the origin of these funds, parts of the $922,445.34 were distributed among Aboagye and others including Jordan. Jordan deposited a $20,000 cashier’s check into an account under another fake business name.
Aboagye also wired other illicit proceeds into accounts held in his name. This included $173,315.70 obtained fraudulently from a North Dakota state agency in May 2020 and fraudulent payments totaling $80,300 from the Small Business Administration in August 2020. Overall, Aboagye admitted to laundering between $1.5 million and $3.5 million.
Jordan confessed to using multiple fake companies and identities for opening bank accounts to receive funds from various victims. These included $15,000 in January 2020 for a purported gold shipment from Australia and $40,000 in April 2020 for supposed Covid-19 research funding. He also used one such account for obtaining a $220,000 loan through the Small Business Administration’s Covid-19 Paycheck Protection Program which he partly used to buy a residence in Dallas. In totality, Jordan admitted to laundering $336,600.
