The United States District Court for the Central District of California has announced the postponement of the sentencing of Nigerian fraudster, Ramon Abbas better known as Hushpuppi.
The court case which was earlier scheduled for February 14, 2022, (Valentine's day) has now been postponed to July 11, 2022.
Justice Otis D. Wright granted the order after Hushpuppi’s lawyers led by Louis Shapiro entered a request for postponement.
He is expected to remain in custody in the intervening period of the delay.
Court documents unsealed in July last year indicate that Hushpuppi could face up to 20 years in prison, and will need to “pay full restitution to the victim(s).”
Hushpuppi known for his flamboyant lifestyle on social media platforms was picked by the FBI in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on June 10, 2020, after he was embroiled in a $35 million ventilator scam.
In a damning video released by Dubai Police tagged 'Operation Fox Hunt 2', it was revealed that the Instagram big boy, born Ramon Olorunwa Abass, scammed 1,926,400 victims.
