Court reports reveal that Hajia4Reall maintained five foreign bank accounts in which she accumulated money obtained from six victims.
According to a set of court documents produced by Gossips24 Avenue, the socialite opened some five bank accounts under the name of different non-existing business ventures, in three different banks in Bronx, New York.
Labeled the ‘Montrage Accounts’ and numbered from Account 1 to Account 5, the court gave a breakdown of the five bank accounts and how Hajia4Reall operated them.
Per the findings presented to the court, Accounts 1 and 3 were business accounts held in the name of ‘Mona Montrage DBA 4Reall Designs,” a purported home-based sole proprietorship beauty supply store.
She was the sole signatory on Account 1 and Account 3 which were opened on May 23 2018 and September 15, 2016, respectively.
However, there appeared to be no transactions in the said account, in connection to beauty supplies.
Accounts 2, 4, and 5 were bank accounts held in the name of “Mona Faiz Montrage”. According to the investigations, the sole signatory on Account 2 was initially solely “Montrage”, until another individual was added to it (Individual 2).
Aside from Account 4, the sole signatories to Account 2 and 5 subsequently multiplied. it was disclosed that between or about December 31, 2013, and October 15, 2019, the Montrage accounts had deposits that totaled $2, 165, 000.
Withdrawals of about $2, 096,000 were subsequently made from the said accounts. A majority of such deposits were in cash and international wire transfers to Ghana.
