Ramon Abbas, also know as Hushpuppi has been convicted of fraud and money laundering and sentenced to 11 years in prison by the United States Central District Court in California.
He was arrested in Dubai in 2020 over an extensive fraud scheme that has robbed victims of their money in the U.S., Qatar, the United Kingdom, and other places.
He pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges.
He will do 11 minus 2 years that he has already done in the U.S. jail.
The socialite however bagged only 11 years in prison after he appealed to US Judge Otis Wright to temper justice with mercy and a lighter jail term after scoring high in cleaning activities while in prison.
Note that Hushpuppi’s Instagram page, which has 2.8 million followers, has vanished from the image-sharing platform. It is however unclear whether it was officially removed from Instagram or if the page was temporarily disabled by someone with access to it.
