New revelations about Babacar Ciss, the 26-year-old fraud suspect who amassed millions

Babacar Ciss, 26, is being pursued for online fraud, forgery and use of forged documents. He reportedly attributed his affluent lifestyle to cryptocurrency earnings, including Bitcoin, and claimed to have lived in the United States for three years; investigators found he had never left Senegal, and he later backtracked. Searches uncovered a CBAO account-opening request, a certificate reporting the loss of a US driving permit, and transfer orders for 85 million, 75 million and 850,000 CFA francs, though the sums were reportedly never credited. Ciss does hold an account at Banque Atlantique but never had an Ecobank account, and he was brought before the Dakar prosecutor on November 6, 2026.
