Instead, the man kept the money and never submitted a visa application as he had promised. According to a federal indictment unsealed on Friday, he lied to the woman, a Chinese citizen whom the indictment names only as Jane Doe, giving her various excuses for years for why the process had been delayed.

Cecilio Adames met up with five friends Sunday morning at a dock in Howard Beach, Queens. The group planned to go fishing on a boat one of them owned. It was not fishing season, and the air was a frigid 36 degrees, but Mr. Adames was "excited" to be going out in good company, his daughter Alisha Adames, 16, said. Hours later, detectives knocked on the family's door. The boat had capsized and Mr. Adames was at a Staten Island hospital, they said. When the family got there, the police said he was dead.
