Hushpuppi Hires Invictus Obi’s Lawyer In Last-minute Push To Avoid 11 Years Jail by NwaNimo1(m): 11:24pm On Sep 14, 2022 |
Indicted internet fraudster Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas has employed the services of top attorney John Iweanoge in a bid to abridge his impending jail sentence from 11 years as suggested by United States prosecutors. Mr Iweanoge is a top Washington D.C. criminal defence attorney popular among Nigerian suspects charged in Virginia and Maryland, especially. In a pro hac vice application filed before the United States District Court in the Central District of California and obtained by Peoples Gazette, Mr Abbas named Mr Iweanoge as his attorney. “APPLICATION of Non-Resident Attorney John O. Iweanoge, II to Appear Pro Hac Vice on behalf of Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas (Pro Hac Vice Fee – $500 Fee Paid, Receipt No. ACACDC-33979986) Filed by Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas. (Attachments: # (1) Proposed Order G-64 Order for Pro Hac Vice Admission) (Khouri, Michael),” the document said. The pro hac vice application allows the addition of an attorney to a case in a jurisdiction in which they are not licensed to practice. Mr Iweanoge, whose law offices are located in Washington, DC, will be now be able to defend Mr Abbas in court without committing unauthorised practice of law. Mr Iweanoge had defended now-imprisoned Nigerian fraudster Obinwanne ‘Invictus’ Okeke. Mr Okeke was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvement in a computer-based intrusion fraud scheme that caused about $11 million in losses to his victims. Mr Abbas’s actions come as his sentencing hearing is slated for September 21. The Gazette reported on Thursday that his attorney Louis Shapiro and U.S. officials sparred in court as Mr Abbas tries to delay his sentencing until November. Mr Shapiro argued that Mr Abbas would be unable to prepare for his sentencing hearing without all the documents relating to the Juma Case. The charges on the Juma case had been dropped by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in line with a plea bargain deal. Prosecutors, led by Khaldoun Shobaki, maintained that there was no reason to “further delay the already long-delayed sentencing in this case,” adding that Mr Abbas admitted playing a leading role in the scheme when he pleaded guilty on April 20, 2021. Mr Shobaki had asked a federal judge to sentence Mr Abbas to 11 years in prison and three years of supervised release for his role in a multinational conspiracy that earned him millions of dollars between 2019 and 2020. Mr Shobaki suggested that Mr Abbas should be asked to pay $1.7 million in restitution, $500,000 in fines, and $100 in administrative fees ahead of his sentencing. Mr Abbas had previously tried to seek a release on humanitarian grounds, but Judge Otis D. Wright declined his pleas for failing to comply with extant court rules. Mr Abbas has been in custody since his arrest in Dubai and transfer to the United States in June 2020. https://gazettengr.com/hushpuppi-hires-invictus-obis-lawyer-in-last-minute-push-to-avoid-11-years-in-jail/ |

Okay... Show me a man who ate his cake and had it back, and I'll show you a man whose time of reckoning has not yet come. There's no pity for an individual who lived the better of life causing pain and anguish in other people's lives. In his very eyes, his fame and affluence have began to take flight into thin air. Crime is not endemic or domiciled to any race or ethnic group, it's universal and must be fought by every hand. 7 Likes |

For stealing so much money and frittering it all away on exotic cars and designer clothings which he bought just to show off on Instagram without any tangible investment in Nigeria, Hushpuppi deserves a long jail sentence. Nonsense! 5 Likes |

Authority1o1: How? He didn’t scam poor people , he intercepted funds from giant co-operations that suck the economy dry at the expense of minorities… he scammed football teams that sells tickets to thousands. Crime is bad we know but don’t make him seem like he had any reason to be pitiful in his dealings |
