United States to sentence Hushpuppi September 21

Ramon Abbas, alias Hushpuppi, Nigerian internet fraudster, will be sentenced on September 21, 2022, the United States Attorney’s Office for Central District of California, Los Angeles, has confirmed.

This was disclosed to Channels TV via email by the court’s Director of Media Relations, Thom Mrozek, on Friday.

Hushpuppi’s sentence date had been moved three times since his conviction in 2021.
