According to publicly available information from the US Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator the 32-year-old Ghanaian will be released on May 22, 2025.
Her sentence followed her conviction for conspiracy to receive stolen money in connection with a West Africa-based criminal enterprise involved in romance scams and internet fraud.
Montrage controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent proceeds. She was sentenced to three years of supervised release in addition to her prison term and was ordered to forfeit $216,475 and pay restitution of $1,387,458.
