The United States District Court for Central District of California has again postponed the sentencing of embattled internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi.
The 39-year-old, who pleaded guilty to multimillion-dollar fraud charges, was billed to be sentenced on Monday, October 3, but the trial judge, Otis Wright, announced that Mr Abbas will now be sentenced on Monday, November 7, 2022.
According to report, the court announced that: “COUNSEL ARE NOTIFIED, the Sentencing is CONTINUED to November 7, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas.”
