The sentencing in US federal court of a Nigerian influencer known as Hushpuppi has been postponed, court documents show. The judge in the case this week ordered a postponement until July 11 at the request of lawyers. Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Abbas, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2021/07/29/nigerian-influencer-hushpuppi-pleads-guilty-to-money-laundering-in-us-court/" target="_blank">pleaded guilty </a>in a US court to money laundering in July last year. He could face 20 years in prison after admitting the charge in a California court. The Instagram celebrity was arrested in Dubai in 2020 in a <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/courts/nigerian-instagram-celebrity-hushpuppi-arrested-in-dubai-1.1034992">highly publicised raid on his luxury apartment</a> at a five-star hotel. Court documents said Abbas's crimes cost victims almost $24 million in total. Prosecutors previously alleged he was responsible for scams worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Abbas, with five others, was charged in an elaborate scheme to defraud a Qatari school founder and launder the proceeds through bank accounts around the world. US authorities have credited the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2021/08/06/uae-helps-us-in-charging-nigerian-influencer-hushpuppi/" target="_blank">UAE for helping in the case.</a> Abbas's Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hushpuppi/?hl=en" target="_blank">account</a>, not updated since shortly before his arrest, has 2.6 million followers. His final post was about collecting a new Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Other pictures show him stepping out of a helicopter at Dubai's Atlantis The Palm resort.
