Abbas Ramon, also known as Hushpuppi, an internet fraudster, has had his verified account deactivated.
Hushpuppi is currently being tried in the United States on charges of fraud.
According to the PUNCH, Hushpuppi was arrested in June 2020 in Dubai by a joint team of Dubai Police and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation for alleged fraud on various victims, including American citizens.
Hushpuppi was then extradited and charged with hacking, impersonation, banking fraud, and identity theft on multiple counts.
Meanwhile, the suspected internet fraudster’s account with the username @hushpuppi has approximately 2.8 million followers, 827 followers, and 540 posts showcasing his lavish lifestyle.
