Details of how self-acclaimed social media celebrity, Raymond Igbalodely, aka Hushpuppi scammed the American govt and was later arrested by Interpol and FBI in Dubai has been exposed by Global TimesNG.
According to our source, “today is just one of those days that Nigerians will frown at fraud, ramble about how fraud is evil. But deep down they’ve always wished to have Hushpuppi’s money, they admire Diezani, Mompha and other fraudsters. You might be wondering why about 60 Interpol and FBI agents stormed Dubai to arrest popular social media sensations, Hushpuppi and Woodberry in their plush hotel at the wee hours of this morning.

With the sort of lifestyle the duo flaunt on social media, Nigerians have been wondering the kind of job these two are into, with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of clothing and accessories being bought by these guys on a daily basis. After the arrest which sent the whole social media into a frenzy, it has been revealed that they successfully intercepted a deal of over $100 million which the United States government was paying to purchase ventilators for COVID-19 patients in Native America, Global TimesNG understands.

They have a special programming tool used to hack emails and monitor big transactions going on between companies. They got wind of the discussion between the US government and the manufacturer through an email hack and waited till it was time for payments to be made. All they did was intercept the email from the manufacturer and smartly entered their own account number without the knowledge of both parties.

After this deal went through, Hushpuppi bought a 2021 Rolls Royce Cullinan worth over $500,000 and also a Villa; this purchase triggered the US authorities as they have been trying to track down a number of internet fraudsters who have been on million dollar scam deals for some years now. The Interpol and FBI stormed their plush abode in the United Arab Emirates and arrested both Hushpuppi and Woodberry. They have been flown to Washington to answer for their crimes.
Now, when this particular trend dies down, we would return to hailing people with questionable sources of wealth, and ask them to “bless your boys’, or ‘do giveaways”, and anyone who dares talk about their source of wealth, we shut it down with the usual “stop being a hater” bleatings. The painful thing now is that, people all over the world will almost every time associate every Nigerian with fraud. But let’s act all saintly today and condemn fraud and corruption.

It is also worthy of note that after Hushpuppi denounced being a Nigeria citizen, I don’t think it is right tagging him as a Nigerian anymore. Nigerians are neither partakers nor beneficiaries of his fraudulent act. The Interpol had Hushpuppi in their sights for many years and just allowed him build up the overwhelming evidence that they needed. His “fans” also fanned his flames by hailing him constantly on social media.

I don’t think anyone ever believed Hushpuppi’s money was legit. The lavish lifestyle, show off and so many other things made it obvious. The truth is that scam has levels and he’s in real trouble now. After scamming or doing whatever he does to make money, he comes online to preach hard work and resilience.

If it was Efcc that arrested him, he would have been out already after giving them 10% of the loot...

Greed killed him, scamming the almighty US government is the height of stupidity... afterall you are rich already and not desperate

He did well

These yeye people always tarnishing our imagine around the world.

Evil will always goes after evil doer. You scam people and you think you can go free. There is always judgment day for every evil.

Music annoying thing is that all these wack musicians hail them
Just imagine 9ice.. even that Zlatan
One by one dem go Dey go
In Europe once you said you’re from Nigeria
Those white will distance themselves away from u
Especially Russia

@OP, They will soon tag u an hater. SCAM DOESNT PAY

With what he has before him here, I doubt if his money is truly legit. What a wasteful way of living. Can you finish those? Anyway, you have fed well enough during rainy days , I think the fat you got from that will sustain you now while doing your term in prison. Good luck hush.

Nigerian youths need to know all that glitters is not gold. Hard work pays

Even African countries like SA, ghana, Rwanda,Uganda, are so ashamed of this country. Everything is bad about this country.
I didn't choose Nigeria nau, why was I born in this shithole sef... To travel go obodo oyinbo is now a really problem for average Nigerians.. #Smh

The only thing I see is that hushpupi is living the script God or nature has put in place for him



I rise

E get mind oh , how will he be scamming US government and think he won't be arrested one day , he too dey flaunt luxury as if he is competing , always insulting the poor, non of his family associated with him. Bnaira don use bitcoin trading to cover-up , I'm sure Hushpuppi would have been regretting by now if truly he is guilty and some other guys will go down with him, he and Woodberry won't be the Only two doing the hacking and cashing out

Everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owners. Nigerians stop giving attention and praises to celebrity criminals in whatever guise. Do we have value system at all?
