According to the US,  viral reports claiming that alleged Internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi, laundered $400,000 in prison are false.

According to reports, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, through its agent Andrew John Innocenti, presented documents to the United States District Court of California on Wednesday with new evidence accusing Hushpuppi of fraud and money laundering in a federal correctional facility in the United States.

According to viral reports, Hushpuppi cheated his victim using Economic Impact Payments debit cards obtained fraudulently from stolen data of US nationals and residents, according to court filings.

However, in response to an email inquiry, Thom Mrozek, the United States Attorney’s Office’s Director of Media Relations, said:
After looking at the document excerpted in recent media accounts, the documents appears to have been fabricated.

“The U.S Attorney’s office in Los Angeles which filed the case against Mr. Abbas, has not filed any such document.

“We have checked with the FBI Agent who supposedly authored the document and he confirms it is fake”

Gary Warner, a cybercrime expert and Director of Research in Computer Forensics at the University of Alabama, said the paper was an amended version of an affidavit filed in June 2020.

He wrote, “People are asking me if it is true that #Hushpuppi laundered $400,000 in #Stimulus cards from in prison.

“The document they show is an edit of a June 2020 Affidavit. The new version is fake, intended to get people to visit a scammer EIP website.”
