Nigerian internet based life star, Hushpuppi is at present being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago.
The Instagram big name who was captured in Dubai in June, and extradited to the United States of America, showed up in court last Thursday.
He was charged with running a global fraud operation, including targeting a Premier League football club, a bank and a US law firm.
Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, 37, who professes to maintain a land business, is alleged to have conspired to launder hundreds of millions of dollars through business email compromise (BEC) frauds and other scams, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said.
He is additionally blamed for laundering $14.7m taken in a cyber-heist from an anonymous bank in February 2019, sending the cash to financial bank accounts around the world.
A months-in length investigation by the FBI prompted his capture a month ago by experts in the United Arab Emirates, where Abbas was an occupant.
FBI special agents obtained custody of Abbas and took him to Chicago.
Hushpuppi is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago, the Federal Bureau of Prisons site says. He will be moved to Los Angeles in the coming weeks, concurring the Justice Department.
Whenever indicted for tax evasion, he would confront a most extreme sentence of 20 years in jail.
