Hushpuppi Can Be Jailed For 20 Years

Hushpuppi, a Nigerian Instagram influencer, could face a maximum of 20 years in jail if it is proved beyond reasonable doubts that he is guilty of cyber crimes in the United States of America (USA).
This was contained in a statement by US Department of Justice on Friday, July 3.
The 37-year-old man, real named Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, is currently facing money laundering charges by the US Department of Justice after his arrest last month.
The man who flaunted his Rolls-Royces, fancy watches and designer clothing on Instagram was arrested early June with 11 others by law enforcement officials in the United Arab Emirates during a raid.
He was extradited to the US last week to face criminal charges alleging he conspired to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from business email compromise (BEC) frauds and other scams, including schemes targeting a US law firm, a foreign bank and an English Premier League soccer club.
He made his initial US court appearance on Friday in Chicago and is expected to be transferred to Los Angeles this week. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
But prosecutors alleged that Abbas is one of the leaders of a global network that uses computer intrusions, business email compromise (BEC) schemes and money laundering capers to steal hundreds of millions of dollars.
