A United States Central District Court in California has, again, postponed the sentencing of alleged fraudster Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi, for the fourth time.

According to a court’s notice obtained by Premium Times, the trial judge, Otis Wright, has fixed November 7, 2022, as the new date to sentence Hushpuppi.

“COUNSEL ARE NOTIFIED, the Sentencing is CONTINUED to November 7, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the court’s announcement shifting the sentencing read.

The sentencing hearing was initially moved by Judge Wright from February 14 to July 11 before shifting it to September 21 and now November 7.

Hushpuppi, 39, was arrested in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in June 2020 alongside 12 others over allegations of hacking, impersonation, scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft and was extradited to the U.S. for prosecution.

His extradition to the United States followed after the UAE police detailed his arrest in a particular operation dubbed ‘Fox Hunt 2’, where he was accused of defrauding 1.9 million victims to the tune of N168billion.

In July 2021, he agreed to plead guilty to the multi-million-dollar fraud charges slammed against him by the American government.

Abbas entered into a plea bargain agreement with the U.S. government in July 2021, hoping to get a lighter punishment.

According to court documents, he risks 20 years imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $500,000 or twice the gross gain or loss resulting from the offense.
