Any guesses on the club?

An English Premier League football club has become embroiled in a criminal complaint brought against self-proclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Ramon Abbas, a Nigerian influencer with over 2.5 million followers on Instagram. (Forbes does not currently include Abbas on our list of the World’s Billionaires.)

Abbas, also known as hushpuppi, has built a global following from posting pictures of his lavish spending on cars, watches, designer clothes, and private jets. His lifestyle has made him a popular figure on a variety of social media platforms including Snapchat and Instagram. Abbas’ lawyer tells Forbes that his client is “an entrepreneur” who made his money legitimately through “real estate” and his work “promoting brands” as an “Instagram personality.”


quote:

Abbas’ wealth and fame has also seen him rub shoulders with the new-monied elite. The influencer is seen on Instagram with Chelsea’s Premier League and England star Tammy Abraham, and Aston Villa’s England U-21 star Ezri Konsa — both players signed shirts for Abbas, “To my big bro” posted in February this year.

However, Abbas’s life of luxury was put on hold in late June after the 37-year-old was arrested in Dubai, UAE, and arrived in the U.S. on Friday July 3 to face criminal charges over allegations he has made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams.


quote:

But perhaps most notably, Abbas is accused of a “scheme to steal” $124 million from an English Premier League soccer club in May 2019. The U.S. Department of Justice is at this time unable to confirm further details of the club in question. However, at $124 million the sum on the affidavit is larger than any single player transfer ever paid by any team in the league, and details are scant on how exactly a figure of such size could be obtained through the methods cited in the affidavit.

The Premier League has not yet responded to questions.

I haven’t seen an African steal from a Premier League team like this since El Hadji Diouf’s Liverpool days.

Is this the Nigerian prince who keeps telling me he wants to send me millions of dollars if I send him a $1500 check so he can wire me the money?
