Ο Ramon Abbas μέχρι τα τέλη Ιουνίου είχε 2,5 εκατομμύρια followers στο Instagram, ένα σπίτι γεμάτο μετρητά και ένα γκαράζ με παρκαρισμένα 13 πολυτελή αυτοκίνητα αξίας 6 εκατ. ευρώ.
Πλεόν όμως ο Νιγηριανός influencer βρίσκεται στα χέρια του FBI και από τις 2 Ιουλίου έχει μεταφερθεί – έχει απαχθεί υποστηρίζει ο δικηγόρος του – στο Σικάγο καθώς όπως αποδείχθηκε όλα τα πλούτη του ήταν αποτέλεσμα μιας μεγάλης απάτης.
Οι Αμερικανοί πράκτορες υποστηρίζουν ότι χρησιμοποιούσε το Instagram προβάλλοντας μια χλιδάτη ζωή δισεκατομμυριούχου για να δελεάζει θύματα από όλο τον κόσμο. Εκτός από τον Abbas στα χέρια των αρχών βρίσκονται και άλλα 12 άτομα.

Don’t let anyone make you feel you’re doing something wrong by idolizing someone either they big or small as long as you see something in them that’s unique, inspiring and you get motivated by them. It’s a trait of success to have a role model either far or near, someone who’s done something you’d like to do, someone who’s become something you’d like to become, someone who’s gone through the same struggle you going through and broke through it and succeeded. It’s fine for you to idolize them, but make sure you know what you are doing, where you are and where you are heading and “how” to get to that place you are heading and the resources to get there, once u know that I am certain you will get there with “TIME”. Know there will be lots of challenges and pressure either from friends, family or total strangers who don’t believe in your “HUSTLE” because they don’t see what you see, they are not in your dreams, they don’t see the vision you see but it’s your responsibility to make them understand and let them know you have plans, hope and you know what you are doing because we mostly need the support of the people around us to get where we are going, you need someone to tell you don’t give up just yet, you need someone to cheer you up before you get to the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t neglect your dreams and your family, one day you might be vacationing in Santorini and all those people who laughed at you in the beginning will be all over your dm begging you for money 😝😝😝 P.s: Keep rocking that xxxx Gucci remember: Practice makes perfect 😂, Hush Papi was once down that road 😩He wasn’t born with it, He saw it, loved it, worked for it and got it. Be your own savior, be your own HushPuppi 💪💪💪

Σύμφωνα με το CNN ήταν αυτή ακριβώς η τάση επίδειξης της πολυτελούς ζωής του που τον πρόδωσε τελικά.
Όπως προκύπτει από τη δικογραφία που έχει σχηματιστεί οι πράκτορες του FBI που μελέτησαν τον λογαριασμό του στο Instagram εντόπισαν έναν τηλεφωνικό αριθμό και ένα e-mail τον οποίο ο Νιγηριανός απατεώνας είχε για λόγους ασφαλείας των συναλλαγών του. Ο αριθμός αυτός, σύμφωνα με τη δικογραφία, συνδέθηκε με οικονομικές συναλλαγές και μεταφορές χρημάτων που είχαν κάνει συνεργοί του.
Την ίδια ώρα οι λογαριασμοί του σε Apple και Snapchat παρείχαν στις αρχές πληροφορίες προκειμένου να επιβεβαιώσουν την ταυτότητά του και τις επικοινωνίες του με τους άλλους υπόπτους.
«Οι ύποπτοι στοχοποιούσαν τα θύματα δημιουργώντας ψεύτικες ιστοσελίδες για γνώστες εταιρίες και τράπεζες με σκοπό την εξαπάτηση των θυμάτων» εξήγησε ο υπεύθυνος του εγκληματολογικού τμήματος της αστυνομίας του Ντουμπάι λίγο μετά τη σύλληψη του Abbas.
Ο γνωστός στους followers του και ως «hushpuppi» κατηγορείται για απάτη σε Ευρώπη, Αμερική, και Νιγηρία. Μάλιστα ήταν λάτρης και της Ελλάδας και στον λογαριασμό του ανέβαζε φωτογραφίες να ανοίγει σαμπάνιες στη Σαντορίνη.

Letter to the Ghetto Kid: As a man that I am today who developed from being one of you guys, who went through the same struggles you are presently going through, who had to run and jump hurdles where other kids just walk past the same situation in a better environment with better resources and much provisions, I know the society do not expect you to make it, the government don’t care about your future, they toy and joke around making rules and laws that only affect you and benefit the rich. You lack everything it requires to become who you might have loved to be, do the things you would have loved to do or to live the life you may have seen on tv or the internet, which I know you even have limited access to because there’s never power supply for such, which means you are deprived most of the things that can be learnt through tv and internet in the first place which makes your dreams smaller, quicker to fade away but I want you to know that darkness you are, without the dark, the stars won’t shine and so you can shine out if that darkness. You have been deprived so many right a child deserves and the world look down on you because you are nothing but a clot of blood miraculously turned a baby, and an unfortunate one at that. Good health, good foods or good education hasn’t been in any way your chance to have. Looking at you disgusts not your brethren only but even strangers are not so impressed for your unhealthy appearance. Your strength; courage; and dreams are nothing but hallucination just because you were not supposed to dream big. I am sure nobody ever believed in whatever you say or do. You have been victimized by neighbors; friends; and even family members who were supposed to give you hope. This is my story, this is me and this is the hushpuppi you have been hearing about. The Ghetto kid in me is at Its peak and ready to explode and spread around the globe. I am you and you are me. I represent every under priviledge kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonsoki — Where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room. I’ll never forget the look on my mother’s face trying to send me and my

Continuation… me and my siblings to neighbors and relatives and the sadness in the eyes of my sibblings. Now, you see i represent you? Trust me I know how it feels to not have parents come watch you in school play football or run races in ur school, I know how it feels to come out your apartment to take showers in a zinc sheet bathroom separated from the building. The society made me who i am today, i was never one of those who their parents couldn’t afford a movie ticket to see a movie when Silver bird cinema came newly, I shared shoes, toiletries and underwears with my younger ones as well as mats and see me now at my early thirties, i am writing you a letter from one of the favourite places any human alive would have loved to be, billionaire or penniless. Nobody is listening to your cries; your lamentation; and your grievances are not felt a bit. If i had sat down complaining about the bad government; bad economy ; bad friends, I will not be here today. I had a dream i was not supposed to cry, knowing nobody would listen, so i rose from the hood and decided to do the things my forefathers never did. I crossed the seas, walked through burning bushes, jumped over thorns and babbed wire. A lot of people know me from when I used to use okada to be selling “akube” clothes to boys that was making cheddars in diff hotels up and down the mainland of Lagos. Look at yourself, do you like the way you are right now? Are you pushing beyond limits? Are you succumbing to the tune of the selfish ‘Baba Alaye’ in your neighborhood? Nobody will help you if you decide not to help yourself even hailing Hushpuppi 1,000 wouldn’t help you either, be about you, get up, pick a struggle, leave your comfort zone, work hard at it, pray a lot and don’t kiss ass, rich people are users and inconsiderate. Dear hustling hood kid, let no man hold you down. My advice for you is never to put your dreams in the hands of Ambode and Buhari, they don’t know you, they don’t believe in you cos there’s millions of people like you on their neck, it’s not much they can do if they can even do anything at all so don’t expect you will ever win or make it by waiting for anyone. I just want to see
