Hushpuppi To Spend 9 Years Out Of 12 Years Jail Sentence

By Agboola Ibrahim

Prosecutors in the United States have asked a federal judge to sentence Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ 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.

Hushpuppi who was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 and extradited to the USA over internet fraud and money laundering, will spend only nine years in prison as he has already spent two years in prison in the US.

He was sentenced after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in money laundering with multiple people within and outside the US to ladder the proceedings.
