Internet Fraudster Ramon Abass AKA Hushpuppi Has Reportedly Been Transferred to California for Prosecution 

Embattled Nigerian socialite and alleged fraudster, Ramon Abass AKA Hushpuppi, has been transferred to the Central District of California for prosecution.

The Instagram sensation was arraigned in a Chicago court on Monday and denied bail despite pleas by his lawyer.

On Tuesday, he was promptly transferred to the Central District of California for prosecution and remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal in accordance to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). 

Hushpuppi was denied bail in the United States in spite of his lawyer, Gal Pissetzky insisting that his job as an Instagram celebrity pays for his expenditures.

Hushpuppi’s lawyers, in his defense, revealed that his job as an Instagram socialite is what pays for his $10,000 monthly rent on his luxury Dubai flat. They had applied for him to leave jail with an electronic tag and live with the uncle of a woman with whom he has a child with, but US prosecutors opposed the bail application.

His lawyers said,

“He is loved and respected. He is a celebrity.

“I don’t see the reason why he would want to ruin his credibility in the world and his status rather than stay here and face this allegation.

“Anywhere he goes, people will know. Having grown up very poor in Nigeria, Mr Abbas is now paid to pose with high-priced items such as Louis Vuitton bags that people would buy after seeing his posts on Instagram.

“He is an influencer. That’s a job today, as much as it is hard to imagine. That’s a full-time job.”

Hushpuppi and another cyber-heist suspect, Olalekan Jacob Ponle, also known as Mr. Woodberry were arrested in Dubai, where they lived, in June.

They were later taken to the US where they appeared in a Chicago court on 3 July.

It Has Been Reported That Hushpuppi is behind the £2 Million Lazio Scam.

The list of Hushpuppi’s crime is growing as the FBI revealed that it was the fraudster and his gang who were responsible for a £2m scam of Italian Serie A team Lazio.

Recall that back in 2018, Lazio reportedly fell for an email scam and paid €2 million of the final installment for defender Stefan de Vrij’s transfer from Dutch club Feyenoord to fraudsters.

Lazio received an email that appeared to be from the Dutch champions asking for the €2 million along with bank account details and duly sent the money.

But Feyenoord never received the cash and claim to have no knowledge of the email.

The infamous scam has finally been solved after Hushpuppi and gang were found responsible for diverting the payment.

Brila FM sports radio who reported the news wrote:

“The FBI has revealed that it was Ray hushpuppi and his gang who were responsible for the £2m scam perpetuated on SS Lazio in a payment intended for Feyenoord for Stephan de Vrij.

The infamous scam from 2018 has finally been resolved.”
