Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi will on Monday know how many years he would be spending behind bars as a US court is set to pass sentence on him.
Hushpuppi has been facing trial at the US Central District Court in California, with judge Otis Wright presiding for allegedly defrauding 1.9 million US citizens through internet scams.
“Counsels are notified, the sentencing is continued to November 7, 2022 at 11.30 am. as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the court announcement shifting the sentencing read.
With the November 7 date, the court has postponed Hushpuppi’s sentencing date for at least five times in 2022 alone since his conviction for alleged $1.1m Qatari fraud.
Hushpuppi was initially scheduled for sentencing on February 14 but it was moved to July 11 and to September 21 before it was postponed to November 3 and now to November 7.
Hushpuppi, 39, had entered a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to charges including money laundering, and wire fraud, amongst others brought against him by the court.
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,” according to court documents.
