The conman hits the American News at last. Two days ago, I told my coworkers about him but they were all laughing. I bet when they see it on the news tonight and days later, they will have mixed reactions

A Nigerian man charged with conspiring to launder a fortune from email scams, and who showed off his wealth to 2.4 million Instagram followers, has arrived in the U.S. to face charges, prosecutors said Friday.

Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, or “Hushpuppi” on Instagram and Snapchat, made an initial court appearance in Chicago after arriving with the FBI from the United Arab Emirates, where he had been living, prosecutors said in a statement. He is expected to be transferred to Los Angeles to face charges pending there in the coming weeks, they said.


Abbas allegedly conspired with others to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in scams targeting a law firm, a bank and an English Premier League soccer club, according to a criminal complaint filed last month in federal court.

Messages sent to his Instagram and Snapchat accounts seeking comment Friday were not immediately returned. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer representing him.

Abbas’s Instagram account is flooded with displays of wealth, from luxury cars to private jets, as well as videos and photos of him globe-trotting with celebrities including a Manchester City soccer player, a Nigerian singer and a Turkish chef.


“This case targets a key player in a large, transnational conspiracy who was living an opulent lifestyle in another country while allegedly providing safe havens for stolen money around the world,” Nick Hanna, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, said in a statement.

UAE authorities arrested Abbas last month, and FBI agents took custody of him this week, prosecutors said.

Abbas and the unnamed others in his network specialized in what are known as “business email compromise” schemes, authorities said. That type of scheme generally involves gaining unauthorized access to a corporate email account or otherwise tricking a business into sending a wire transfer to the scammers.

Business email compromise scams accounted for $1.7 billion in alleged losses last year, according to the FBI.

A client of an unnamed New York-based law firm lost about $923,000 last year after Abbas and others tricked a paralegal into wiring them money that was intended for the client’s real estate financing, the FBI said.

Another scheme involved $14.7 million stolen from a non-U.S. financial institution last year.

Nigeria has had a higher number of achievers in various fields than we'll ever have scammers. But look at the way those comments were saying "Nigerian this, Nigerian that". Still, you'll have some people come here to tell us it's a crab mentality to pull down a scammer. Just imagine Elon Musk prohibited from entering the U.S because of scammers from South-Africa. This is the evil frauds do to sincere Nigerians aiming to achieve great things in the U.S and other developed countries.

It is red for hushpuppi.....o di gbere

After reading his compliant document, I came to realise something.

Hush is not a hacker but a provider of bank accounts to scammers for receiving fraudulent money.

Hush wasn't involved in any covid 19 fraud but he is involved in bec scams, they defrauded a client of a us firm of almost a million dollars.

Hush does not have Dubai citizenship rather resident permit but he has passport of st Kitts island.

Hush does not own a home in Dubai, he leases.

The FBI charged husp of money laundering and could face up to 20 years in prison, also know that FBI indictment rate is 98%.

Hush provided accounts for a cyber heist in an European country but the heist was detected in time by the bank.

Hush provided accounts for someone who penetrated the financials of a premier league club.

The main guy(hacker)hush works for is not a Nigerian, this hacker has team of hackers that work to steal from banks and companies. Hush is just an account provider.

Nigerian blogs are full of lies

Kemi whatever is also full of lies, no Linda or dino was mentioned in the fbi document.

I hope say this guy will not scam in prison as well. Anything hush can’t be trusted.

He is a learner, he just an account provider, that collect his share when he provides account for the main hacker who is not a nigerian.

Pele. Are you still at Buf or you are back home?

those comments funny ASF

Hush was simply a middle man (AZA MAN). Well, he's gone for life. Sorry man. Not sure his life would ever remain the same.

Can you please post the indictment link? And you're right none of these nigerian yahoo boys abi men are hackers. They usually contract foreigners to hack on their behalf and provide receiving accounts...
