The United State Government’s department of Justice has revealed that Ramon Abass, also known as Hushpuppi and his cybercrime team attempted to scam a Premier League club of $124 million before they were arrested.
According to a press release that was made available by the Justice department, Hushpuppi and his gang allegedly conspired to launder millions of dollars from business Email compromise (BEC).
They were also accused of scams including schemes targeting a U.S law firm, a foreign bank and a Soccer club.
According to an affidavit filed after his arrest, Hushpuppi operated social media accounts that frequently showed him in designer clothes, wearing expensive watches and posing with luxury cars.
It was gathered that investigation by the FBI revealed that he financed his lifestyle with proceeds from crimes as he was also accused of leading a gang of transnational network that facilitated computer intrusions, fraudulent schemes and money laundering.
The department noted that Hushpuppi would face a statutory maximum sentence of twenty years in federal prison if found convicted of conspiracy to engage in money laundering.
You will recall that UAE law enforcement officials transferred Hushpuppi to the United State of America after he was arrested last month over his alleged involvement in cybercrime.
