This financial penalty marks one of the largest forfeitures in the history of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah.

U.S. District Court Judge Jill N. Parish imposed the sentence following the duo’s conviction in May 2024 on charges of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and money laundering. Isong was earlier sentenced on October 23, 2024, to 10 years in prison and three years of supervised release.

According to court documents and evidence presented during the trial, Adegboruwa led a criminal enterprise between October 2016 and May 2019, selling more than 300,000 oxycodone pills on dark web marketplaces across the U.S. The jury determined that the operation generated approximately $9.1 million in drug proceeds.

Adegboruwa was identified as the mastermind of the operation, managing an enterprise with members assigned to various roles to facilitate the illegal narcotics trade.
