The man who orchestrated a multi-million-pound cyber fraud from Dagenham and was jailed for his role in a sophisticated money laundering ring has dramatically resurfaced, trading his past behind bars for a new, high-profile life in Bangladesh. Mohammed Siddique, who served a substantial sentence for his part in stealing £1.3 million, is reportedly now married to a prominent Bangladeshi social media influencer, stunning observers in both the UK and his home region of Khulna.
Operating under the confirmed aliases of Rakib and Rusel, the convicted Mohammed Siddique maintains an intentionally opaque profile; specifically, the details of his UK entry visa have not officially clarified.
Rubiat Fatima Tony is a prominent Bangladeshi woman entrepreneur and fashion designer, best known as the proprietor of the fashion house 'Sanvee's by Tony'. Her company specializes in selling women's clothing, including sarees, kameez, bags, and Western wear. As of a recent report, she operates 11 to 12 outlets across the country and promotes her products actively, including by going live on Facebook. She has been recognized for her work, receiving the 'Bangladesh Women Warriors Award' in 2022. She has stated her goal is to create more job opportunities within society. Rubiat Fatima Tony was married to Shahadat Hossain, a businessman who passed away in Bangkok in early 2025 following an extended illness.
Her new marriage immediately following her husband's deat is currently the subject of multifaceted discussion within the London Bangladeshi community, with numerous people sharing their opinions via social media statuses, particularly on Facebook.
Siddique's criminal past made headlines when he was convicted of three counts of money laundering in connection with a major cyber-fraud case that targeted a high-net-worth individual. The court heard how, between January 8 and 13, Siddique moved £1.3 million through three different accounts—part of a larger criminal operation that hacked emails and issued bogus payment requests. Adding to the evidence, officers found him in possession of a stolen cheque valued at £28,000, with investigators seizing over 50 electronic devices, including mobiles and computers, from his address.
Siddique was ultimately sentenced to six years in jail for his offences. The conviction was part of a major Metropolitan Police investigation into a highly organized criminal network involved in large-scale online criminality and the laundering of its proceeds.
Post-Sentence Life and Personal News
Following his expected release from prison after serving the required custodial period of his six-year sentence (with standard remission), reports suggest Siddique has returned to his family's roots in the Khulna division of Bangladesh.
The most striking development, however, is his recent marriage to a figure widely known on social media platforms across Bangladesh. While details of the wedding remain private, the pairing of a former UK fraud convict and a popular online personality has quickly become the subject of intense public discussion and speculation, particularly in South Asian media circles. The social media celebrity, known for her lifestyle and fashion content, brings a massive, dedicated following to the union, marking a complete and extraordinary shift in Siddique's public profile from convicted criminal to part of a celebrity couple.
For those who followed the original 2019 court case, this new life stands in stark contrast to the severity of the crimes, which involved meticulously planned financial deception and the exploitation of electronic communications. The story of Mohammed Siddique serves as a potent reminder of the long-tail consequences of cyber-crime and the often-unpredictable paths that individuals take after serving time for serious financial offences.
Daily Dazzling Dawn has made several attempts to secure a statement from Mohammed Siddique. Once a comment is received, it will be issued as a separate publication.
