The embattled Nigerian big boy Ramoni Abass popularly known as Hushpuppi, who is serving his jail term has been denied bail in the United States.
His lawyers Gal Pissetzky insists Hushpuppi is not a fraudster and his job as an Instagram celebrity paid for the $10,000 monthly rent on his luxury Dubai flat.
They then applied for him to leave jail with an electronic tag and live with the uncle of a woman with whom he has a child.
The US prosecutors, however, opposed the application and denied the cyber fraudster bail on the basis that he could commit crimes with just a smartphone and an internet connection. Read also:Â Hushpuppi Is Bisexual And Had Sex With Woodberry – Kemi Olunloyo
The prosecutors added that Hushpuppi might run away, which was countered by his lawyers, who claim he has too much to lose if he runs if he flees from the United States.
