帮“假盲人”网红获赠逾10万美元引祸：五人绑架殴打底特律男子已认罪，最高面临终身监禁
位于密歇根州韦恩县的底特律市一名男子因在社交平台上帮助他人而走红、获赠逾10万美元后，竟成为亲属策划绑架的目标。美国密歇根东区联邦检察官杰罗姆·F·戈登（Jerome F. Gorgon Jr.）11月4日宣布，五名被告已就这起绑架阴谋认罪，其中四人承认绑架阴谋与联邦枪支罪行，另一人事先已承认洗钱罪。
据《纽约邮报》与底特律 WXYZ 电视台报道，受害者是柯蒂斯·迪克森（Curtis Dixon）。2025年8月，TikTok 创作者扎克·德雷尼奥夫斯基（Zach Dereniowski，账号 MDMotivator，粉丝逾2,800万）在视频中假扮盲人，迪克森主动上前帮助。据报道，迪克森当时经济拮据、正打算把婚戒拿去典当，德雷尼奥夫斯基当场给他1,000美元，随后又为他发起 GoFundMe 众筹。
据美国司法部援引法庭文件与被告在认罪听证上的供述，这段走红经历被广泛传播：这位网红为迪克森筹得并送出逾10万美元、一辆新车和其他礼物。迪克森的侄子罗兰·查特蒙（Roland Chatmon，37岁，底特律居民）随即动了念头。2025年8月24日，查特蒙与正在服刑的兄弟通电话，在被录音的监狱通话中商量抢走叔叔这笔钱，两人还为此发笑，并拉上多名同伙。
2025年9月1日，这伙人动手：一名同伙假装需要搭车把迪克森骗上路，查特蒙在电话里遥控路线。迪克森停车后，众人持枪劫车，把他反绑，扣在他自己的卡车里当人质，开车四处逼他从银行账户取钱，其间多次用手枪抽打、殴打他。
取出现金后，这伙人仍不满足。迪克森说出家里保险箱里还有现金，查特蒙便与德内夸·斯特罗曼（Dneiqua Stroman，43岁，庞蒂亚克居民）闯进他家抢走保险箱，还把查特蒙的婶婶绑起来留在浴缸里。随后众人把迪克森丢在卡车旁的地上，点燃他的卡车后逃走，再与肯尼斯·安德森（Kenneth Anderson，54岁，庞蒂亚克居民）会合，由安德森帮忙把迪克森 Cash App 账户里的钱转进他们自己的账户。
美国司法部表示，烟酒枪炮与爆炸物管理局（ATF）与联邦检察官办公室主导调查。2025年9月25日，ATF 在底特律、罗切斯特山与庞蒂亚克的五处住所执行搜查令，将全部嫌疑人逮捕。
认罪的五人是：罗兰·查特蒙（37岁）、莱卡·洛佩斯·马丁内斯（Leica Lopez Martinez，33岁，猎户湖居民）、伊莎·斯特罗曼（Ieasha Stroman，38岁，庞蒂亚克居民）与德内夸·斯特罗曼，四人承认绑架阴谋与联邦枪支罪行；肯尼斯·安德森事先已承认洗钱罪。四名主犯面临联邦监狱最低7年、最高终身监禁的刑期，量刑日期已定：马丁内斯2027年2月3日、德内夸·斯特罗曼2月9日、查特蒙2月25日、伊莎·斯特罗曼3月15日。安德森此前已被判缓刑，并被责令支付赔偿。本案由联邦助理检察官安德鲁·R·皮切克（Andrew R. Picek）与戴安·N·普林克（Diane N. Princ）起诉，ATF 底特律分局特别探员主管詹姆斯·戴尔（James Deir）与检方共同宣布认罪结果。
迪克森对 WXYZ 电视台说，他至今没有追回全部捐款、如今连房租都吃力，最难受的是下手的是自己的亲人。他说：「当我发现是家人干的，我特别难受，简直不敢相信。我以为街上的人会这么对我，没想到是家里人。」他还说，自己宁愿清贫而开心，也不想有钱却整天提心吊胆。
Five Plead Guilty in Kidnapping of Detroit Man Who Went Viral Helping a 'Blind' Influencer and Received Over $100,000
A Detroit man in Wayne County, Michigan, became the target of a kidnapping plot by relatives after he went viral on social media for helping a stranger and received more than $100,000 in gifts. Jerome F. Gorgon Jr., the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, announced on November 4 that five defendants have pleaded guilty in the case: four admitted kidnapping conspiracy and federal firearms offenses, and a fifth had previously pleaded guilty to money laundering.
According to the New York Post and Detroit station WXYZ, the victim is Curtis Dixon. In August 2025, TikTok creator Zach Dereniowski, known as MDMotivator, with more than 28 million followers, pretended to be blind in a video, and Dixon offered to help him. Dixon, who was struggling financially and planning to pawn his wedding ring, received $1,000 on the spot, according to reports, and Dereniowski then launched a GoFundMe for him.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, citing court filings and the defendants' admissions at their plea hearings, the viral moment was highly publicized: the influencer raised money for Dixon and gave him over $100,000, a new car, and other gifts. Dixon's nephew, Roland Chatmon, 37, of Detroit, then set his sights on the money. On August 24, 2025, Chatmon spoke by phone with his brother, who was in jail, and on the recorded jail call the two hatched a plan to take the money from their uncle and laughed about it, bringing in several other conspirators.
On September 1, 2025, the group put the plan into action. One conspirator lured Dixon by pretending to need a ride, while Chatmon gave directions by cell phone as Dixon drove. After Dixon parked, the group carjacked him at gunpoint, hog-tied him, and kept him hostage in his own truck, driving him around trying to get money out of his bank accounts while repeatedly pistol-whipping and beating him.
After making cash withdrawals, the conspirators wanted more. Dixon offered up a safe at his house with some cash, so Chatmon and Dneiqua Stroman, 43, of Pontiac, broke into his house and stole the safe. They also tied up Chatmon's aunt and left her in a bathtub. The group then left Dixon on the ground next to his truck, set the truck on fire, and fled, later meeting Kenneth Anderson, 54, of Pontiac, who helped them move money from Dixon's Cash App account into their own accounts.
The Justice Department said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the U.S. Attorney's Office led the investigation. On September 25, 2025, the ATF executed search warrants at five residences in Detroit, Rochester Hills, and Pontiac, and arrested all the suspects.
The five who pleaded guilty are Roland Chatmon, 37; Leica Lopez Martinez, 33, of Lake Orion; Ieasha Stroman, 38, of Pontiac; and Dneiqua Stroman, who admitted kidnapping conspiracy and federal firearms offenses; and Kenneth Anderson, who had previously pleaded guilty to money laundering. The four principal defendants face mandatory minimum sentences of seven years in federal prison and maximum possible sentences of life imprisonment. Their sentencings are scheduled for February 3, 2027 (Martinez), February 9, 2027 (Dneiqua Stroman), February 25, 2027 (Chatmon), and March 15, 2027 (Ieasha Stroman). Anderson was previously sentenced to probation and ordered to pay restitution. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew R. Picek and Diane N. Princ, and the pleas were announced with James Deir, Special Agent in Charge of the ATF's Detroit Field Division.
Dixon told WXYZ that he has not recovered all of the donated money and is now struggling to pay rent, and that the hardest part is knowing his own relatives were behind the kidnapping and robbery. 'When I found out it was family, I was so hurt. I couldn't believe it,' he said. 'I expected somebody on the streets to do it to me before a family member would.' He added: 'I'd rather be broke and happy, any day. I'd rather be broke and happy than rich and have to look over my shoulder.'
