Hushpuppi's best friend Olalekan Jacob Ponle also known as Woodberry like his friend has also been charged to court in the US

- In his own case, Woodberry played into the hands of the FBI undercover agent

- Ponle asked the agent to help him open US bank accounts to be used to convert the proceeds of the fraud into Bitcoin and send them to a virtual wallet owned and operated by him


Hushpuppi's best friend and 'business partner' Olalekan Jacob Ponle popularly known on Instagram as Woodberry has also been charged in US District Court in Chicago with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The 29-year-old Woodberry was arrested in June alongside his bestie, Hushpuppi, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, where he was living large.

According to a statement from the US Attorney’s Office in Chicago, Woodberry who was extradited from Dubai, and kept in the FBI custody, arrived in Chicago on the night of Thursday, July 2, and appeared in court in the morning of Friday, July 3, to face a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.


Among the companies defrauded by Woodberry is a Chicago-based company that sent wire transfers totaling $15.2 million to him.

The US department of justice had it that there were several instances in which one or more unknown subjects gained unauthorized access to a US-based company’s email account and sent messages to unwitting employees claiming to be from the company or known business contact.

The fraudulent emails instructed people to wire funds to a bank account set up by “money mules” at Woodberry's instruction, prosecutors say. The complaint alleges Ponle directed the mules to convent the proceeds of the fraud into Bitcoin and send them to a virtual wallet that Ponle owned and operated.


 

Unknown to Woodberry he was talking to an undercover FBI agent of his schemes. Read through their conversation below:

Bitter truth.

Haaaa when the bush catch the hunter

Hmmm

I just came across a common statement on Nairaland few minutes ago, and it got me wondering, what is wrong with our people..

SmartProf:
The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not every man's greed. How the EFCC never get to discover all these, makes me give up on the system. Nigeria is in a mess, and we may not get out of it soon

many persons make similar statements to this and it makes me worry about "What you think Nigeria is"

my dear, Nigeria is you & I.

Nigeria would not change, until you & I have a change of mindsets.

It seems the arrest of Ramon Abbas aka "Hushpuppi" seems to reawaken everyone to the existence of Internet Fraud, but the truth is that it has always been with us, and would always be here if we keep waiting for just EFCC to put a stop to it.

What have you done to combat crime in our society??

internet fraud (Yahoo-yahoo, G-boys), ponzi or other types of fraud have become a very common event in our daily lives. We tend to know or have heard of people that engage in these events, but we keep quiet about it, for one reason or the other, maybe because they are our friends or family.

How many of Our friends who are into Internet Fraud (G-boys), whether they have hit or not, have you reported to the Police or EFCC??

we tend to forget that, "It is these same individuals (G-boys), who engage in all these acts of fraud, & hit it big tomorrow that would use those money to contest for election with well-meaning individuals like yourself and win you, because you do not have enough money to spend like them, regardless of what your motives or plans are.

After they win and get there, they'd continue their G-boys on a political level, with their looting, and then you'd come on Nairaland or twitter to complain.

Just imagine Hushpuppi was to run for senate tomorrow, who would win Him with all the money he has to spend??

Also on other other side, most youths and young persons, students, etc that go onto cyber-crime is due to "Peer Pressure/Influence". if you see someone you know from Adam, who is just at your level or maybe you are even better than the person, all of a sudden, riding big cars, and buying houses for himself or his parents, you'd start thinking about why you cannot achieve the same, and then you'd be ready to do whatever it takes to do that, however legal or illegal.
You will then encourage yourself with the fact that many people are doing it, and that there is corruption everywhere.

my dear, the problems of Nigeria are You & I.... let's not deviate it or run away from it!!!

this is & has always been my own Stand!!!

If you want our country to change, it begins from you and I. You can start by reporting those friends of yours who are into various kinds of frauds (from ponzi to large scale BEC) to the Police or EFCC, and let's worry about whether nothing was done or not....

start from the root & protect the future...

Until we are ready to do that, our country would remain the way it is, if not worse, because, the G-boys would continue to make money & run for various elective positions in government, and when that happens, they'd have the public funds, security & other elements of government at their disposals to do what they like..

Nigeria cannot be better until its Citizens decide to be better, because, we are the present & future government.

There is an end indeed?

Criminals....


Is in their blood.

Good job...

This one is red handed busting

Oga forget that talk... EFCC has always been a willing tool in the hands of our politicians . What has EFCC done concerning the case of Tinubu who violated the law brazingly when he brought bullion vans into his compound on the eve of elections? What about Ganduje?? What have they done concerning his case?? What about mompha's case?? Corruption is happening right under their nose but they choose to look away. Hushpuppi's case would have been a forgotten issue if he was extradited to Nigeria. They claim to be fighting corruption but they are the epitome of corruption.

if only you know how I dey vex for this country bro...
If dey want make we citizen help , then they must be ready to pay the whistleblowers better money before we would put our lives at risk in exposing corruption.. and lawyer must sign it..


The koko be say , let government do their parts first..let's dem provide basic needs of life first and watch if scamming wouldn't reduce.. since younger age up till now na struggling I dey struggle.. struggle wey I no know which day particular e go end.

He expects me to be patriotic to a country that doesnt care about me nor my family welfare.. he expects me to be patriotic to a country that doesnt care about my future and future of my unborn generation...
Buhari's son is using Honda power bike of 56 million naira, yet him father said na buy dem buy presidential ticket for am.. abeg where him see money buy am? Orji kalu amassed over 100b naira in politics, tinubu dey control politics like say person dey control motor, atiku has a cut for every generator dem import to naija.. Obasanjo has a cut for every cocacola product u open and zip, Saraki amassed billions of naira... ganduje has lootedmmoneywey go last him and him future generation for 100 years..and so so on wey I no know.. and watch some dumbass coming here to defend naija politicians , people wey we suppose stone to death..
Politics in Nigeria needs overhauling.. if we fail to tackle where the problem comes from, then we never ready yet.

Even ordinary rich man self no fit help, they would use u and dump u.. most private companies would pay u only money that would sustain you on food and housing alone.. they have no plans for your future after you don use your whole brain work for them..

I just wish boys fit dey target Nigeria politicians and render dem useless.. nonsense

Most federal jobs na man know man things,

If you husle small gather small money to start business, government policies go kill am.

I'm rich and I've neither committed any fraud nor engage in any criminality.

So your "bitter truth" is roundly false.

I'd advise if that's what you do, or contemplate doing, you should better put a stop to it otherwise you will inevitably end up like the lot of them.

Money, and alot of it, can be made legitimately and legally. Now that's a fact.
