Trying so hard to humanise a scammer. Why not talk about the ordeal of the people he scammed? undecided.


The people he scammed are the real victims here, not a criminal puppy. Let's focus more on the lives of the people who he defrauded .

Nobody saw a billionaire in Hushpuppi some 15 years ago when he roamed the dusty streets of Oworonshoki, Lagos, looking to wash cars for a paltry N100, and later returning to a food joint where he had beans and bread on credit.

In a philosophical reflection, using himself as a case study, he touched on how a child could feel rejected because of his poor background in his widely circulated 2017 “Letter to the Ghetto Kid”. It was about the same year Hushpuppi became a household name, as he had started using his social media page to flaunt his wealth.

With a sense of pride, Ramon Abass, whose dad drove a taxi and mum sold bread by the roadside in Oworonshoki, would say he represents “every underprivileged kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonshoki — where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room.”

Of course, now sounding like someone who has made it in life, he concluded by advising that “dejected kid” not to give up, just like he never did.
Entering stardom, Hushpuppi claimed to be into real estate but this had been trailed by skepticism, with many wondering how the 37-year-old had maintained a luxurious lifestyle for years — from acquiring the latest automobiles, including Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, to hiring private jets to take him holidaying across the best spots in the world.

It didn’t come much as a surprise in June when he was arrested in Dubai, where he was based, with 11 of his associates over email scams known in the Nigerian parlance as Yahoo-Yahoo.

In the special operation dubbed “Fox Hunt 2”, the Dubai police had tracked Hushpuppi for about four months, and upon his arrest, it was alleged that the crimes committed outside the UAE, included money laundering, cyber fraud, hacking, impersonation, banking fraud and identity theft worth Dh1.6 billion (an estimated N168 billion).

The police also revealed that 1,926,400 victims were targeted by the syndicate.

Subsequently extradited to the US for trial on money laundering, his lawyer, however, insisted that Hushpuppi “became rich through real estate.”

The real estate claim is what some residents of Ogunyomi street in Oworonshoki would dismiss.

Hushpuppi is a thief and people are asking why he did not help others. Would any of them go to prison in his stead? Nigeria is full of freeloaders.

Celebrating a criminal.
The truth is the average Nigerian does not see anything wrong in crime.
Very shameful bunch.
To see how perverted and crime born he is,he as a multibillionaire then returned and gave d woman who fed him on free then a paltry 5k!
I bet that same period he was giving out at least 100k for just touching the boobs of an olosho.

Smh


The holy book says a fool and his money are soon seperated


If you are a fool and you have 500 billion,if you have poverty of the mind and brain, you will loose it


Hushpupi lacks wisdom.a rich man without wisdom will still go back to square one

Another issue is that he was not a giver.how can a woman who was good to you during your broke days just give her a paltry ₦5000


If at all you're stingy you should have helped her renovate her shop and give her better equipments for her buisness since she was a kind buisness woman

This days how many food sellers sell food with compassion?
On point. You can say that again

Bunch of nitwits. Their anger is not because he defrauded different people and businesses bringing further shame to the country but because he didn't do anything for them and their area. God help Nigerians and their silly entitlement mentality that expects everything from everybody including thieves

That same thing is what former ex governor of delta state, Uduaghan did. There was this old mama in his hood where he and his family goes to buy credit when hunger comes calling. He became governor and forgot about her. Really sad.

Has he not gone into oblivion?
