The sentencing for Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Real, for romance scams has concluded in the U.S. According to Inner City Press on X (Twitter), the judge stated, “I sentence Ms. Montrage to one year and one day in prison, the extra day to allow ‘good time.’” The defense proposed that she be allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention. The Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) consented, saying, “We consent. Adjourned.” Montrage pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court on February 21 to conspiracy to receive stolen money. Federal authorities said Montrage controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent funds from the enterprise.
