Hushpuppi, made his first court appearance in an American court where the FBI alleged that he attempted to dupe an English Premier League football club of £100m.
Hushpuppi and others committed a Business Email Comprise scam that defrauded a client of a New York-based law firm out of approximately $922,857 (N350.6m) in October 2019.
Hushpuppi conspired to launder funds stolen in a $14.7m (N5.5bn) cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution in February 2019, in which the stolen money was sent to bank accounts around the world.
Hushpuppi provided a co-conspirator with two bank accounts in Europe that he anticipated each would receive €5m (N2.1bn) of the fraudulently obtained funds.
He made his first appearance in a U.S court, this morning, in Chicago, according to a press release from the U.S Department of Justice.
