NY-AG v. Anthony Nyame

Convicted

Anthony Nyame, CEO of General Capital Corporation, allegedly stole over $3.5 million from multiple victims in financial fraud schemes. According to NY-AG, in one scheme, Nyame stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from victims, including the First Ghana Seventh Day Adventist Church in the Bronx, by inducing them into believing that his Wall Street-based company, General Capital Corporation, had the ability to secure millions of dollars in loans. In a different scheme, Nyame allegedly stole over $2.5 million from Villanova University through a cyber-attack. Nyame allegedly promised to obtain a $30 million loan for First Ghana Seventh Day Adventist Church in the Bronx. Instead of using the deposits to secure the promised loans, Nyame allegedly diverted money from the church and other investors for his own personal use.
