Alleged Nigerian internet fraudster, and Instagram celebrity Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi has appealed for a lighter jail term ahead of his sentencing later this month.
Hushpuppi who has pleaded guilty to the multi-million-dollar fraud charges filed against him by the United States government has appealed to the United States Judge Otis Wright to temper justice with mercy, saying he had become a changed person after scoring high in cleaning activities.
Mr Wright is scheduled to hear the sentencing arguments of the prosecution and defence on September 21 before delivering his judgement in the matter involving Hushpuppi who is on trial for defrauding people across different continents to the tune of millions of dollars.

According to reports, Hushpuppi’s report card for Central Valley workshop for prisoners showed the Internet fraudster put up “very good” in attitude, quality of work, dependability and productivity between July 2021 when he enrolled and November 2021 when he completed work.
“He is currently working within his prison cleaning windows and showers—for which he has received great personal evaluations,” Mr Abbas’ lawyer Louis Shapiro wrote in the memorandum submitted on September 5.
