Surviving Yusuf Olatunji Fatai

I had come to learn of the existence of an individual named Douglas E Harrell on or around the 3rd week of March 2024. Yusuf had for reasons best known to him changed his cash app name to the man above pictured. How Yusuf knows him is a question yet to be answered and his reasons for changing his name are unknown.

Upon googling this man’s name there is an article from the Chicago Tribune here

Upon reading this article I learn that Douglas E Harrell identify was used fraudulently to orchestrate business email compromise.

I would later learn from documents Yusuf Olatunji Fatai provided through his attorney Misty Leigh Carlson on or around the 2 or 3 week of April 2024 that there were transactions incoming bearing the name of Douglas E Harrell into Yusuf’s Star Ventures Autos LLC business bank account.

Who Douglas E Harrell (apparently a victim of business email compromise) is to Yusuf Olatunji Fatai is still unclear to me, and why would Yusuf Olatunji Fatai change his cash app name to a man in Chicago’s name?
