On October 19 a huge police operation in Cape Town saw the arrest of six alleged leaders of the Black Axe, also called the Neo Black Movement of Africa according to a US indictment.
However, their victims globally are believed to be in the thousands, with many South African women and businesses falling victims to online romance scams and business email compromise fraud costing the SA economy millions of rand. A manhunt involving Interpol, the Hawks and the police is still under way for another alleged Cape Town Zone leader who evaded arrest in October.
“Seven leaders of the Cape Town zone of the Neo Black Movement of Africa, also known as Black Axe, and an eighth man who conspired with a Black Axe leader, were charged with multiple federal crimes relating to internet scams they perpetrated from SA,” said acting US state attorney Rachael Honig in a statement after the October arrests.

I hope they extradite them to the States so they get hard time. Here, the NPA will mess around and fail to imprison them or get the light sentences
