A Nigerian conman has gone ahead to name a Kenyan who aided him in a 1.1 billion scum that targeted US companies. He has since pleaded guilty to the allegations in court.
Ramon Abbas alias Hushpuppi who is also flashy on his social media sites especially Instagram said one Kenyan only identified as Abdul, 28 played a role in the scum.
According to him, Abdul who worked as a consultant and a banker could aid in the facilitation of a loan for a Qatar based businessman for the putting up of schools in Qatar.
In his statements that were handed over to a US court said that Abdul impersonated a banker as he played the role of Malik who was an international banker based in New York City.
This means that US investigators could soon be heading to Kenya in search of Abdul who was allegedly also involved in the deals.
He also gave out the names of Vincent who also allegedly played a role in the deal as he usually facilitated them with false narratives, arranging the creation of bogus bank websites and phone banking lines.
Hushpuppi also accepted that he was indeed involved in a scheme to make away with ksh1.1 million from the Qatari investor.
Already the social media influencer on July 30, 2021, also pleaded guilty to the charges that were tabled against him. He also cooperated with the investigating officers in full.
Hushpuppi was involved in schemes amounting to more than ksh2.6 million.
However, he usually claimed that he was largely in real estate business and used to pose at his suite located at the Palazzo Versace Hotel in Dubai.
The Nigerian was arrested in July 2020 by officers drawn from the Federal Bureau of Investigations and taken to the US.
