A Federal Bureau of Investigation agent in the United States has alleged that Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi, received fresh charges as the United States prosecutors submitted court documents showing that he committed fraud and laundered over $400,000 while in jail.
According to documents submitted before the United States District Court of California on Wednesday, HushPuppi committed fraud and money laundering while in a US federal correctional facility.
The court documents revealed that Hushpuppi, while in prison, participated in the purchase and laundering of Economic Impact Payment debit cards fraudulently obtained from stolen data of US citizens and residents.
Economic Impact Payments are financial support offered by the US government to residents according to the CARES Act. One of the ways eligible US residents receive their Economic Impact Payments is by debit cards.
