The verified instagram account of internet fraudster, Abbas Ramoni, popularly known as Hushpuppi, has been deactivated.
Hushpuppi is currently being tried in the United States for fraud-related activities.
The wire fraud suspect was arrested in Dubai by a joint team of Dubai Police and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation in June 2020 for alleged sleaze on different victims, including American citizens.
Hushpuppi was then extradited and charged with multiple counts of hacking, impersonation, scamming bank fraud, and identity theft.
Meanwhile, the international wire fraudster’s account with the username: @hushpuppi had about 2.8 million followers, 827 following and 540 posts showcasing his extravagant lifestyle.
Despite being arrested and tried, Instagram permitted Hushpuppi to share videos and photos on the platform so long as he does not represent dangerous organisations or individuals.
Apparently, the photo-sharing app has reviewed the decision to allow Hushpuppi’s account to remain active.
A check to confirm Hushpuppi’s account activeness on Sunday, October 30, 2022, revealed that his account has been deactivated.
