Fact-check: Did Hushpuppi commit fresh $400K scam in prison?

US investigator, Gar Warner, debunks the viral claim on how the convicted Nigerian scam artist, Hushpuppi, reportedly defrauded $400K from prison.

A publication made rounds across the social media platform today on how Ramon Abbass a.k.a Hushpuppi carried out a scam worth the sum of $400M from the prison where he is held in the United States.

According to Gar Warner, all claims relating to it are completely false while adding that the documents attached to the claim were the same as two years ago when he was arraigned.

According to Gar in a tweet, the documents were doctored to back the claim while stating that every piece of it was from the fraudster’s arraignment in 2020.

“People are asking me if it is true that #Hushpuppi laundered $400,000 in #Stimulus cards from in prison.
The document they show is an edit of a June 2020 Affidavit. The new version is fake, intended to get people to visit a scammer EIP website,” he wrote.
