Hushpuppi Ramon Abbas was actually working for a guy in Ontario, Canada, Ghaleb Alaumary, aka "Backwood." Alaumary made a plea deal with the Department of Justice in California, which names Hushpuppi and five others (whose names are still secret) to help launder $45 Million!
Ghaleb had a long history with the police in Canada, but despite multiple arrests, his longest sentence was six months "house arrest!" (source: thecanadian.news/2021/02/18/mon… )
Ghaleb had already been charged in Georgia in 2019, for money laundering and theft from Regions Bank and BBVA Compass Bank! These charges were for crimes in 2017 that were mostly involving using stolen bank accounts to buy plane tickets.
One of Ghaleb's early big wins was a #BEC scam where a Canadian University began paying Ghaleb's TD Bank instead of a construction company that was doing work for the University. The money quickly bounced from TD to Hong Kong, with someone in Dubai taking a big chunk.

I'm seeing many inaccurate stories that say Raymon Abbas (#Hushpuppi) has been released by the Americans. My followers might benefit from a quick explainer on how the Federal system in the USA works. This image does NOT mean what you think! (Thread) Image
When #Hushpuppi arrived in the US, he was first held in Chicago, and was registered in the Bureau of Prisons system, who held him in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (the triangle shaped building here) Image
While his first hearing was in Chicago, in the "Illinois Northern District Court", the stronger case against him is in the "California Central District Court" (Los Angeles). So the Chicago case is CLOSED, but the LA case is still open. Image
