Do not send money to Jossy’s Auto (Anderson, IN) or the Ukiri Global Foundation “charity” — same address, same operator, same red flags. Read why →
Public record
Facts already in public advocacy materials, discovery excerpts, and open sources — not gossip.
Mom sent a $120,000 cashier’s check dated December 8, 2021, USPS Priority Overnight to Jossy’s Auto. Delivery records show receipt December 9, 2021, signed Michael Devol. FBI holds shipping / delivery proof.
Ukiri’s 2025 defense-investigator interview: he “never received any bank check in the mail… only handed by Yusuf.” Direct collision with the USPS trail.
Lawyer subpoena to Copart: no records of the claimed car buys under his account tied to “Yusuf.” Story of three high-end export cars — and “reimbursement” for them — has no Copart backbone. (Related purchases were also checked against wrong platforms early; Copart still shows zero for the alibi as claimed.)
Case intel from the FBI DIVS / Serial 17 financial-intel summary on Ukiri (not “50 SARs”): 20 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from financial institutions, 14 Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) on large cash moves, and 55 travel records. Together that is 50+ institutional flags (20 + 14 + 55) — a bank/travel crime profile, not an empty file.
PNC froze / closed related accounts after the $120k path; new banking relationships appeared afterward. The flags were there. What was missing was action against the shop.
December 29, 2022: Ukiri files a harassment complaint with Henry County PD (CAD 819462, Sheriff Haskett).
Same day / next day: the romance scammer
(posing as “Austin S Miller,” genaustinsmiller219@gmail.com)
messages mom to make her son stop posting. That silence demand is in sworn materials
(IC3 complaint and Julian’s FBI FD-302) — not a reconstructed guess.
Excerpt from scam chat (redacted presentation; sender persona “Austin S Miller,” Dec 30, 2022 ~3:13 PM):
Hello, My Luv… How are you doing? Why did you block me? From Google chat? Your son has been writing nonsense about me and you on social media platforms. I want you to talk to your son very well. He should stop it. I don’t know if you are the one telling your son to write those nonsense words on social media platforms. I’m looking forward to hear from you soon, Thanks!
Direct pressure to silence exposure — in the same window as Ukiri’s Indiana police filing.
At the March 19, 2025 suppression hearing, SA Ivan Torres testified in substance that he believed Ukiri (or Jossy’s Autos) took the money — while Julian faced federal charges in a separate case. He alleges that prosecution followed his public complaints about FBI inaction (a retaliation theory — not the charge itself). Ukiri was not the person arrested that day.
Same FBI interview file (FD-302, 7/13/2023) that framed Ukiri as a “Yusuf” helper also records a second payor path into additional JA business accounts ending 8004 and 8012 (main account ending 6004). The FD-302 records that second payor; the payor’s name is redacted in the discovery production — this is not an independently unredacted identification. Dollar figure is still six-figure class in working notes (~$193k–$198k range — not locked by bank production; one note also cites a smaller single-transaction figure).
Ukiri told agents he was unaware of those accounts and not familiar with that payor. The same 302 notes a separate LE contact about a woman who sent money to JA after a debt-consolidation / magazine-ad story. Multi-account pattern into the business — not one lonely $120k mystery.
DIVS case intel: 20 SARs, 14 CTRs, 55 travel records — 50+ flags combined, not fifty SARs. The FD-302 still held two money trails into Jossy’s Auto accounts (mom’s $120k instrument + the 8004/8012 path) and took Ukiri’s “Yusuf handed me the check / I don’t know those accounts” story at face value.
Agents framed him as a peripheral victim of “Yusuf,” declared the fraud package not of interest for charges against Ukiri (SA Torres, suppression hearing), and — after public complaints about that inaction — prosecuted the victim’s son while Ukiri walked free. That is not a missing-leads problem. That is sitting on bank flags and multi-account hits and playing dumb.
WARNING to others: if your family’s money hit this shop and someone with a badge says “we looked / nothing there” — demand the BSA/DIVS trail, accounts ending 8004/8012, and the second-payor file. Do not accept the Yusuf shrug.

Ukiri presents as an unwitting helper / victim. His own words still have to survive the paper trail.
