The U. S. Central District Court in California has again postponed the sentencing Ramon Abass, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
Hushpuppi was charged with multi-million dollar fraud and had pleaded guilty to the charges filed against him.
He was apprehended in Dubai in June 2020, and pleaded guilty to the charges in July 2021.
He pleaded guilty to Count Two which is “Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering,” an offence that attracts a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment among other punishments including full restitution.
Judge Otis Wright has fixed September 21 as the new sentencing date.
“At the request of counsel, the Sentencing is CONTINUED to 9/21/2022 at 1:30 PM before Judge Otis D. Wright II, as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the court’s announcement made June 24 read.
Mr Abbas’s sentencing was initially moved by Judge Wright from February 14 to July 11 and has now been moved to September 21 at the counsel’s request.
