Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi, would know his fate over fraud
charges on Monday in the United States.
Earlier on Friday, reports flooded the media space that
Hushpuppi has been sentenced to 11 years in prison in the US, but according to
BBC News, the information is fake.
Hushpuppi is a suspected Nigerian internet fraudster
arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in June 2020 and was extradited to the
United States on July 3.
It was learnt that Hushpuppi defrauded over 1.9 million
people, and many of his victims are Americans.
The 37-year-old had pleaded guilty to the charges filed
against him.
In October 2022, the trial judge, Otis Wright, of the US
Central District Court in California, postponed the sentencing to Monday,
November 7, 2022.
“Counsels are notified, the sentencing is continued to
November 7, 2022, at 11.30 am as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the court
announcement shifting the sentencing disclosed.
