In a horrific development that has sent shockwaves through Liberian footballing community, an accomplice of former Liberia Football Association (LFA) Executive Committee member, Rochell Favor Woodson, has been tracked down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States.
According to sources within the FBI's Criminal Investigation Bureau, Woodson, a Liberian national residing in the US, has been implicated in a massive Business Email Compromise (BEC) scheme that resulted in losses of over $6 million to numerous US businesses. The scheme, which involved fraudulent wire transfers and romance frauds, has been under investigation since August 2019.
