A video making the rounds on social media has shown the moment Ramon Abass Olorunwa, aka Hushpuppi, engaged in a video call from a US prison before his sentencing.
Naija News recalls that the convict was sentenced on November 7, to 11 years and 3 months in prison for fraud. He was also ordered to pay $1,732,841 in restitution to two fraud victims.
The judgment was delivered by Justice Otis Wright II, on Monday, and it found Hushpuppi guilty of the allegations including laundering proceeds of a school financing scam, business email compromise and other fraudulent cyber schemes levied against him.
In the viral video, Hushpuppi seems to be in quite an elated mood despite his present travails.
He is seen telling his friend how he plans to impress the judge with his look and keep a sombre expression in court.
He said that he had groomed himself properly and applied lip balm so that his pink lips would be presentable. He laughed as he said he didn’t want his appearance to anger the judge.

Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in June 2020 and was extradited to the United States on July 3. He was arrested for defrauding over 1.9 million people, the majority of them being Americans.
