How to read this record
Own Ghana-US enterprise reporting distinguishes three extradited and four charged, mixed romance/BEC over100million. Named Boateng/Ahmed/VanYeboah/Asare only where own source states them. Arrest, extradition, indictment and conviction differ; mixed amount not all romance and defendants not all targets. Prior originalSDNY receipt can support qualified wider family; no details silently fill shorter metadata. Own accused/extradition phrase does not itself explicitly state formal indictment or charges; fuller otherenterprise sources cannot fillthis source. Threeextradited/fourcharged/wholeEnterprise100million mixedBECromance differ fromindividualVan10million andlaterconviction.
