A Nigerian Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, known as "Hushpuppi" has admitted his involvement in a conspiracy to defraud a Qatari businessman of more than $1m, the U.S. Justice Department has said.

Abbas, 37, also admitted to laundering money "through bank accounts around the world," including "several other cyber and business email compromise schemes that cumulatively caused more than $24 million in losses," the statement released Wednesday added.

He pleaded guilty to the charges on April 20, according to court documents which were only unsealed Wednesday.

Abbas was arrested in the United Arab Emirates in June last year after local police raided his Dubai apartment.

Nearly $41 million in cash, 13 luxury cars valued at around $6.8 million, and phone and computer evidence containing more than 100,000 fraud files and the addresses of nearly two million possible victims were found during the raid, according to Dubai Police.

“May success and prosperity not be a “once upon a time” story in your life…”, the fraudster wrote in his last Instagram post before his arrest.

Sad.

I keep wondering how some people can come out to defend these fraudsters. Their usual excuse is that they are not responsible for the current Nigerian situation. They'd be quick to ask you about our thieving politicians.

Well, they (fraudsters) ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! They are! Absolutely.

I personally hope that this man and all others that would be eventually caught would suffer the FULL blow of the law. Maybe a life sentence in the worst dungeon on earth.

Can you imagine the degree of pain they have caused families? Can you imagine the multitudes they must have tilted into clinical depression? How about those that may have ended up committing suicide? How about the image of our country? They make things difficult for honest Nigerians doing their honest struggles to make a living. It is now tough to access some visas. As a Nigerian, you'd be subjected to ridiculous searches at borders, airports and what have you. I recall what I went through on my way to Liberia from Sierra Leone.

Scammers are evil. They are wicked! They must all be traced and dealt with. They are part of the bigger problem.

No one should ask me about the politicians and leaders. This discussion is about internet fraudsters (thieves), let it remain so. Whenever a discussion about the politicians pops out, we'd focus on that.

If Kyari is found guilty, he should be delivered to the USA and made to face the tune of the music. By the way, that excuse he put out is about the lamest I've read in recent times. It goes to show the distance between is IQ and the position he occupies.

It bounced back

The mumu didn't invest the stolen money in the country
