00:18But the KOJC leader SMNI refers to is not Quiboloy but Marisa Duenas, one of Quiboloy's
00:24co-accused in some of his cases.
00:26Duenas entered into a plea deal on October 7 in the U.S.
00:30She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government in exchange for a reduction
00:34in her sentence.
00:35She has been identified as an administrator of KOJC's operations and a human resource
00:40manager in the U.S.
