TL;DR

The FBI says 35 additional women have come forward accusing Daejon Love, who with an accomplice posed as a San Francisco 49ers player and wealthy investor to steal about $1.3 million from victims met on dating apps. The scheme used AI-generated identities, fabricated investment accounts, and staged video calls, targeting people in California, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon from roughly Feb. 2022 until their August arrest on wire fraud charges. Authorities describe Love as nomadic with no known legitimate employment, and they urge other potential victims to come forward as prosecutors seek to recover funds.
