Finally Hushpuppi Make It To Forbes by SarkinYarki(op): 5:37pm On Jul 09, 2020
Today is big day for hyper fraudster Ramon Abass popularly known as HushPuppi as he got his long life dream of being published about in Forbes Magazine. Blown !!!


An English Premier League football club has become embroiled in a criminal complaint brought against self-proclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Ramon Abbas, a Nigerian influencer with over 2.5 million followers on Instagram. (Forbes does not currently include Abbas on our list of the World’s Billionaires.)

Abbas, also known as hushpuppi, has built a global following from posting pictures of his lavish spending on cars, watches, designer clothes, and private jets. His lifestyle has made him a popular figure on a variety of social media platforms including Snapchat and Instagram. Abbas’ lawyer tells Forbes that his client is “an entrepreneur” who made his money legitimately through “real estate” and his work “promoting brands” as an “Instagram personality.”

Abbas’ wealth and fame has also seen him rub shoulders with the new-monied elite. The influencer is seen on Instagram with Chelsea’s Premier League and England star Tammy Abraham, and Aston Villa’s England U-21 star Ezri Konsa — both players signed shirts for Abbas, “To my big bro” posted in February this year.

However, Abbas’s life of luxury was put on hold in late June after the 37-year-old was arrested in Dubai, UAE, and arrived in the U.S. on Friday July 3 to face criminal charges over allegations he has made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams.
The FBI’s affidavit alleges that Abbas “conspired to launder funds stolen in a $14.7 million cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution.” The date and amount mentioned in the affidavit matches that of the attack on Malta’s Bank of Valletta in February 2019. The attack was of such seriousness in Malta that Prime Minister Joseph Muscat was forced to address parliament over what the Times of Malta described as the “creation of false international payments that saw €13 million transferred to banks in four countries.” The amounts were the amounts reportedly “traced” and “reversed” and none of the bank’s customers lost their money. The U.S. Department of Justice did not name Bank of Valletta in the affidavit and says it is unable to give further details. The Bank of Valletta has not responded to emails from Forbes.

I'm sure in his mind wherever he is right now, he would be thinking of his missteps. I'm not talking about him stopping his fraudulent activities. I'm talking about him realising that it could have been better for him to come to Nigeria earlier, receive the Mompha treatment and chill in Banana island. I think he was scared of the EFCC and the Nigerian media humiliation that would follow...But what he failed to realise is, it is better to be caught by EFCC than FBI--He would have been chilling in the Banana Island by now!

From free USA visa to Forbes magazine

Magu will be salivating and wishing its him.

He should be calm and hopeful.

Its turn by turn

Maybe he will get a free transport to Kirikiri or Kuje

Dele the Ovation master should please start preparing a full publication for Magu.

But Hushpuppy would have done a better work than Magu if he was EFCC chairman.
