Alleged
Okoronkwo Law Firm IOLTA (Los Angeles)
An Interest on Lawyers' Trust Account (IOLTA) at Okoronkwo's Los Angeles law firm, used to receive the October 2015 wire from Addax Petroleum. The engagement letter listed a fake Lagos address. Functional shell — the firm itself is real, but the IOLTA was the laundering conduit.
