Does the lawyer wear Gucci, or graduated from Gucci Law School. If not he is not qualified to rep. him.

PastorandMentor:
Can we just rest?
Hush hush hush everywhere.
When he was eating money did he call us? Lubblish and noises

fowlyansh181:

tyson98:
No one wey him wan hire wey he go go jail

Gordieshegz:




Like Barrister Atomic bomb..
Those people want to collect part of the proceeds before they send him to prison.

Lawyers ehn..
And they will be reassuring him like kilode knowingfully well his predetermined destination. Chai..

But do you think lawyers will make heaven?

zone51:



Lawyer Atomic bomb abi?

MATURELION:
no try am Nigerian lawyers don't know how american laws work especially coming from a cyber crime point of view

XXLMANDIGO:
There is something unique and special about Hushpuppi i can't actually pinpoint. Maybe life would have been better for him if he didn't have it rough as a young person growing up. He is full of wit plus intelligence and not the average dumb Yahoo boy. Nigeria kills dream especially for those that grew up with a wooden spoon. I wish him whatever fate wish him.

socialmediaman:
May be much more than we think

Maybe negotiating a reduced sentence in exchange for exposing co-conspirators, he’ll want to get the best deal possible. Also to secure some of that money. It’s possible not all the money in his possession is from the specific case he’s being charged with. It’s possible he’s into other things like money laundering for politicians. He may want to keep whatever they cannot establish a case against him for. Without a good attorney they’ll confiscate everything.

Also, don’t be surprised if they show up in court to say he was just a pawn for a bigger fish and name some politicians in Nigeria. One other thing I suspect is that if he’s laundering money for some politicians in addition to his schemes, he’ll want advise on making a private deal with them in exchange for keeping quiet and going to jail solo. Why does he want their money? Because all his money will be confiscated and he’ll need some for himself or family.

Also possible he just wants to go all out and fight to go free, exploiting legal loopholes in the process

We never know what’s going on but I bet he didn’t just wake up to seek help from the lawyer for nothing

IDeyFlogAllah:
You are the real joke for attempting to use such a lame cop out to cover up your .dimwittedness

Babaken:
But the lawyer is not Gucci.

MrBrownJay1:


only person who can get a reduced sentence for cooperating with FBI, is the people below these dudes. important for FBI is to get the "head" of this criminal enterprise....sadly Hushpuppet and woodberry are the head, and cant get reduce sentence for cooperating (unless they rat on themselves and tell the cops where all the money they stole is...

FrLukas:


I wonder what the defense would sound like.

"Your honour, my client Hushpuppy is not guilty and had every right to scam us because we enslaved his ancestors over 600 years ago."



Wait a minute, is that Cook county?

Alicia Florrick to the rescue.

tot:


Haha!

As for all those writing epistles on how he can walk free, forming e-lawyer on nairaland, all I will say is keep dreaming

Millenniumlady:
I think the only thing he can do for him now is to help him reduce his jail term but it's likely to be difficult because I don't remember any charity works carried out by husp to present as evidence to help him get few jail time.......Charitable works are one of the things helping all this U.S. celebrities with low jail time or getting out on bail .

socialmediaman:
True. But I don’t discount that these people were also into money laundering, and who knows they may even have inside help from financial institutions

MOnkeyBabe:
knew Russia & imo had some thing in common

MrBrownJay1:


these financial institutions have been doing this shiit for generations (and are backed by very wealthy important people), the worst these institutions will get is a slap on the wrist.... as we have seen on the Panama papers! but for an African fraudster to get away with robbing their people's money?! they wont allow it, and instead make him a scapegoat. because sadly, hushpuppi today is the unwilling face of yahoo-yahoo all over the world.
they will send a CLEAR message to his fellow yahoo-yahoo with his incarceration!

who are we kidding?! hacking is not new... Russians do it to help people win elections, Chinese do it, Iranians do it, wikileaks does it etc

AfroKnight:
Well said bro.

The institutionalised racism will work against him. Almost anybody he could rat out would be diplomats protected by implied sovereign immunity. He is arguably the biggest fraudster out of naija. Unless he can expose the hackers who helped him gain access into those corporate emails, he would be looking a good number of his useful years behind bars.

adonainana:
Let the legal battle begin,

But the thing is FBI already hacked his instagram, gmail, and i cloud accounts based on the affidavit the FBI agent first submitted

Google and Gmail are both American companies, they easily snitch on you and dont tell you to change your password or anything so in your end you just keep logging in and logging out like nothing is happening.

Also his phone records appeared to have been compromised

Even the affidavit the FBI guy submitted had his passport in it ( they could only get that from going into somewhere private in your email )

Then from his bank accounts, large transfers would have been deposited into it someway somehow.

Then the large cash found on him ( any amount more than £10,000 is money laundering on the spot )

The only evidence they probably would tell the jury probably be based on either a conspiracy to defraud.

Based on my experience there wont be much oral evidence, just documentary evidence from the big tech companies saying what was going on in his email accounts and his bank accounts

Conviction easy to secure on this alone without anyone testifying to say he defrauded them and vice versa

Most things the jury would see would just be reports of him discussing wire transfers and how it eventually landed in his account.

Normally the only way to defend a case like this is to argue perhaps a bank learnt you the money or you had a very rich portfolio to start with.

If huspuppi lawyer is smart, he can always start a defence all the tech reports here and there had nothing to do with his client and perhaps a blackmail by the prosecution to make his client pay for unexplained losses elsewhere.

He could also use jusridiction, hush was always in dubai all the time, so hence no connection.

But the hush guy too no go school so im sure he wont be able to even communicate his defence to his lawyer, all he was busy doing was stealing money and buying gucci up and down.

What a pity

Hushpuppi..

For once patronize made in Nigeria..

We have credible lawyers here...

ogbonti:



you are very correct - the FBI unlike EFCC will not rush to make an arrest - they have criminals on their watch list for months sometimes years before the go for the kill - and when the finally shows up and you see the evidence the present against you/ you sef go agree with them bigin plead for leniency

Factfinder1:
This lawyer na trained lair

MrBrownJay1:


exactly... look at how long Maddof was scamming people before he was arrested. they mean to tell us that they didnt know this white jewish guy was a fraudster for almost 20yrs?! the guy had so many influential friends that even when they were investigating him, judges would just dismiss it.
its all about who you know...

0taPiaPia:


Nooo !! @ this point he should keep his patronage to that area before they rope us all in.
