On November 7th, a US court will pronounce Hushpuppi’s verdict.

As opposed to what was previously believed, Ramon Abbas, also known as “Hushpuppi,” a prominent figure on social media, will likely be sentenced on Monday, November 7.

In the United States, Hushpuppi was reportedly sentenced to 11 years in jail on Friday, but the BBC has debunked those stories.

Hushpuppi is a reputed online fraudster from Nigeria who was detained in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in June 2020. On July 3, he was extradited to the United States. He was taken into custody for scamming more than 1.9 million individuals, the bulk of them were Americans.

The 37-year-old had admitted guilt to all of the accusations made against him.

Hushpuppi and his accomplice pretended to be bank officials and set up a fraudulent website in order to finance a school, according to an earlier statement by acting US Attorney Tracy Wilkinson. In order to maintain the complex pretense, he was also charged with bribing foreign authorities.

The sentence was delayed until Monday, November 7, 2022 by trial judge Otis Wright of the US Central District Court in California in October 2022.

The court’s notification postponing the sentence said, “Counsels are told, the sentencing is extended to November 7, 2022 at 11.30 am. relating to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas.”
