The United States Attorney’s Office at the Central District of California has postponed the sentencing of alleged international Internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, aka, Hushpuppi by five months.

Justice Otis D. Wright granted the order after Hushpuppi’s lawyers led by Louis Shapiro entered a request for postponement. He is expected to remain in custody in the intervening period of the delay.

“At the request of counsel, the sentencing is continued to July 11, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. It is so ordered,” the document partly read.

Hushpuppi pleaded guilty to various offences bordering on internet scams and money laundering, among others.

It stated that Hushpuppi risks “20 years’ imprisonment; 3 years of supervised release; a fine of $500,000 or twice the gross gain or gross loss resulting from the offence”.

The recommendations of the FDC will inform the commission’s decision and also determine Kyari’s future in the force, but the matter is now inconclusive.
