However, the alleged latest evidence shows an email registered to him sign up on a website “whizzlog” which is known as a market place for buying US bank logs and money laundering.

According to an alleged statement by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , Hushpuppi used his personal email to register on the site just like he used his personal email address for other criminal activities and schemes.Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppy, has been scheduled for sentencing on February 14, 2022.

Abbas would be sentenced over his alleged involvement in internet fraud, money laundering, among others.

This is coming nearly two years after his arrest and detention in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates and Los Angeles in the United States.
