Olalekan Jacob Ponle, Mr. Woodberry, was found guilty in 2023 of cheating people and companies out of millions of dollars. According to Peoples Gazette, Ponle has requested that his eight-year prison sentence be shortened on the grounds that the penalty was computed incorrectly.

According to U.S. Seventh Circuit court records, Woodberry claimed he is being wrongfully imprisoned and subject to severe punishment for both the crimes he actually committed and the ones he planned to do.

Woodberry intended to cheat people and organizations out of more than $51 million, but he only managed to con people out of around $8 million because some of his victims were quick to notice his tricks and would not give their money to him. Seven of his known victims demanded the $8 million in reparations from him.
