The punishment date for alleged worldwide Internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, alias, Hushpuppi, is still scheduled for September 21, 2022, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, Los Angeles.
Thom Mrozek, the court's director of media relations, revealed this on Friday in answer to a Channels Television email request.
Hushpuppi's punishment date has been postponed by the court at least three times since his conviction last year for an alleged $1.1 million fraud.
Initially set on February 14, Hushpuppi's sentencing was later moved to July 11 and then rescheduled for September 21 of this year.
Asked exactly when 39-year-old Hushpuppi would be sentenced by the court, Mrozek said the suspect had long pleaded guilty last year and would be sentenced later this year. “Mr. Abbas is currently scheduled to be sentenced by a federal judge in Los Angeles on September 21,” he said.
Hushpuppi had entered a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to charges including money laundering, wire fraud, amongst others brought against him by the court. According to court documents, he risks “20 years’ imprisonment; a 3-year period of supervised release; a fine of $500,000 or twice the gross gain or gross loss resulting from the offence”.
He was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 alongside 12 others and extradited to the US for prosecution.
