Criminal Known Online as \u2018Ray Hushpuppi\u2019 Laundered Proceeds of School Financing Scam, Business Email Compromise Fraud and Other Cyber Schemes<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0LOS ANGELES\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A prolific international fraudster who conspired to launder tens of millions of dollars through online scams and flaunted his luxurious, crime-funded lifestyle on social media was sentenced to 11 years and months in federal prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright II sentenced Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, a 40-year-old Nigerian national, also known by his Instagram handle, \u201cRay Hushpuppi,\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The judge also ordered Abbas to pay $1,732,841 in restitution to two fraud victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abbas pleaded guilty in April 2021 to one count of conspiracy to engage in money laundering. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He was arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in June 2020 and has remained in federal custody since his expulsion from the UAE.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cAbbas bragged on social media about his lavish lifestyle \u2013 a lifestyle funded by his involvement in transnational fraud and money laundering conspiracies targeting victims around the world,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada. \u201cMoney laundering and business email compromise scams are a massive international crime problem, and we will continue to work with our law enforcement and international partners to identify and prosecute those involved, wherever they may be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cRamon Abbas, a.k.a. \u2018Hushpuppi,\u2019 targeted both American and international victims, becoming one of the most prolific money launderers in the world,\u201d said Don Alway, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI\u2019s Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cAbbas leveraged his social media platforms \u2013 where he amassed a considerable following \u2013 to gain notoriety and to brag about the immense wealth he acquired by conducting business email compromise scams, online bank heists and other cyber-enabled fraud that financially ruined scores of victims and provided assistance to the North Korean regime. <\/span><\/p>\n

Adding, “This significant sentence is the result of years\u2019 worth of collaboration among law enforcement in multiple countries and should send a clear warning to international fraudsters that the FBI will seek justice for victims, regardless of whether criminals operate within or outside United States borders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"Abbas conspired with Ghaleb Alaumary, 37, of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, a convicted money launderer, to launder funds derived from various crimes, including bank cyber-heists, business email compromise (BEC) schemes and other online frauds.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

BEC schemes typically involve gaining unauthorized access to a business email account and attempting to trick a victim business into making an unauthorized wire transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In January 2019, Abbas conspired with Alaumary to launder funds stolen from a bank in Malta by providing account information for banks in Romania and Bulgaria. <\/span><\/p>\n

The United States has\u00a0charged North Korean hackers<\/a>\u00a0with committing the bank cyber-heist in Malta, and alleged that those funds were destined for the North Korean government. <\/span><\/p>\n

Abbas has admitted that the intended loss with respect to the Maltese bank was approximately $14.7 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In May 2019, Abbas conspired with Alaumary to launder millions of pounds stolen from a professional soccer club in the United Kingdom as well as a British company. <\/span><\/p>\n

In connection with that scheme, Abbas provided Alaumary with details for a bank account in Mexico that \u201ccould handle millions and not block,\u201d according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abbas also fraudulently induced a New York-based law firm in October 2019 to transfer approximately $922,857 to an account that a co-conspirator controlled under someone else\u2019s name.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alaumary was charged separately and pleaded guilty in November 2020 to one count of conspiracy to engage in money laundering. He is serving\u00a0a 140-month federal prison sentence<\/a>\u00a0and was ordered to pay more than $30 million in restitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\" Abbas also admitted in his plea agreement to conspiring with others to defraud an individual in Qatar who sought a loan of $15 million to build a school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At a sentencing hearing, Judge Wright ordered Abbas to pay $922,857 in restitution to the law firm victim and $809,983 in restitution to the businessperson in Qatar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abbas and another conspirator duped the victim businessperson into paying approximately $330,000 to fund an \u201cinvestor\u2019s account\u201d to facilitate the loan. Abbas specifically directed the victim to send $100,000 to a bank account controlled by a co-conspirator and $230,000 to the bank account of a luxury watch seller. <\/span><\/p>\n

Abbas used those funds for his personal benefit, including purchasing a $230,000 Richard Mille RM11-03 watch, which he arranged to have brought to him from New York to Dubai.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The watch made numerous appearances on Abbas\u2019 wrist on his now-defunct Instagram account, often with the hashtag #RichardMille.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Approximately $50,000 of proceeds from the scheme were used to fraudulently acquire a St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis citizenship and a passport for Abbas through a sham marriage to a St. Kitts citizen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In January and February 2020, Abbas and another conspirator\u00a0corresponded with the victim businessperson, attempting to fraudulently induce a further payment of $575,000 in purported taxes to release the $15 million loan. <\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2020, the victim sent approximately $299,983 to Kenyan bank accounts specified by another conspirator. <\/span><\/p>\n

In March 2020, Abbas fraudulently induced the victim to send another $180,000 to U.S.-based bank accounts; those funds were subsequently laundered with assistance from several co-conspirators.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBy his own admission, during just an 18-month period defendant conspired to launder over $300 million,\u201d prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. \u201cWhile much of this intended loss did not ultimately materialize, [Abbas\u2019] willingness and ability to participate in large-scale money laundering highlights the seriousness of his criminal conduct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The FBI investigated this matter as part of Operation Top Dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant U.S. Attorney Khaldoun Shobaki of the Cyber and Intellectual Property Crimes Section prosecuted this case. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
