Order of Restitution — United States v. Anuli Okeke, Criminal Docket

What This Document Is

The proposed Order of Restitution attached to the parties' April 15, 2025 joint letter (Doc. 69), incorporated by reference into Okeke's sentencing and setting restitution at $3,418,473.84 plus interest, payable at 10 percent of her gross monthly income.

Factual Summary

The order directs restitution payments to the victim named in a sealed Exhibit A, due immediately but payable in monthly installments, with interest accruing on any unpaid balance over $2,500 and a lien in favor of the United States lasting 20 years or until satisfied. Critically, paragraph 7 states Okeke "is jointly and severally liable for the restitution judgment with" six named individuals and their own separate EDNY criminal dockets: Hashim Campbell (21-478 (FB)), Jose Anormaliza (21-23 (FB)), Anthony Castro (21-125 (FB)), Brahima Lengane (21-487 (FB)), Israel Viloria (21-17 (FB)), and Charlene Wint (21-477 (FB)) — the court's own docketed confirmation that this restitution obligation, and by extension the underlying fraud scheme, spans at least seven separate EDNY criminal prosecutions arising from the same conduct at Popular Bank's 125th Street branch.

Key Facts

Total restitution: $3,418,473.84 plus interest, payable at 10% of gross monthly income.
Joint and several liability with six named co-defendants and their docket numbers: Campbell (21-478), Anormaliza (21-23), Castro (21-125), Lengane (21-487), Viloria (21-17), Wint (21-477).
Restitution distributed pro rata to the victim(s) named in a sealed Exhibit A, at least annually.

Source Caveats

The identity of the victim(s) receiving restitution is sealed in an Exhibit A not included in this filing. This order lists related docket numbers for six co-defendants but does not itself describe the charges, pleas, or outcomes in those separate cases, which would need independent verification against each docket.
