- Hushpuppi's sentencing postponed to November
A United States Central District Court in California has shifted the sentencing of alleged Nigerian cyber fraudster, Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi, for the fourth time.
Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in June 2020 with 12 accomplices over allegations bordering on hacking, impersonation, scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft, and thereafter extradited to the US for prosecution.
His extradition to the US was hinged after the UAE police detailed his arrest where he was accused of defrauding 1.9 million victims to the tune of N168billion.
In July 2021, he agreed to plead guilty to the multi-million-dollar fraud charges slammed against him by the American government.
