Seeking Victim Information in Asaad Hasuan Investigation

The FBI’s Baltimore Division Wilmington Resident Agency is seeking to identify potential victims of Asaad Amir Hasuan, aka Dante Fredrick, “Tay,” and “Channel 4.”

A federal grand jury in the District of Delware recently indicted Asaad Hasuan and eight of his associates/co-conspirators on violations of Title 18 U.S.C. 1956(h) (Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering); 1956(a)(1)(B)(i) (Concealment Money Laundering); 1957 (Spending Money Laundering); 1343 (Wire Fraud); and 1951 (Attempted Hobbs Act Extortion).

The FBI believes Hasuan primarily targeted family members and loved ones of his fellow inmates while incarcerated at the Glynn County Detention Center in Brunswick, Georgia, the Telfair State Prison in McRae-Helena, Georgia, and the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hasuan induced his victims to transfer money and property under false and fraudulent pretenses and fear by, among other things, falsely promising to provide legal assistance, physical protection, and investment opportunities. To carry out his fraud schemes, FBI believes Hasuan used a network of associates, including Deborah Danielstunstill, Destinee Lecount, Audrey Gibbons, Penny Hunter, Beverly Fredrick, Lakisha Easton, Jasmine Warren, and Manuel Joseph Rocha.

The FBI is seeking to identify additional victims of Hasuan and his associates. If you, your family members, or anyone that you know had contact with Hasuan and would like to provide additional information, please contact the FBI Baltimore Field Office at 410-265-8080.
