Influencer ‘Hushpuppi’ mendapat 11 tahun penjara karena penipuan dunia maya

November 9, 2022 by Coffee Bean

Nama asli Nigeria berusia 40 tahun adalah Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, dan diperintahkan untuk membayar ganti rugi sebesar $ 1.732.841 kepada dua korban dikonfirmasi, sebuah firma hukum di AS dan seorang pengusaha di Qatar.

Meskipun tidak semua penipuan berhasil menipu target, Departemen Kehakiman AS mengatakan Abbas mengakui kepada jaksa bahwa selama 18 bulan, antara 2019 dan 2022, ia berkonspirasi untuk mencuci lebih dari $300 juta.

“Ramon Abbas, alias ‘Hushpuppi,’ menargetkan korban Amerika dan internasional, menjadi salah satu pencuci uang paling produktif di dunia,” kata Don Alway, Asisten Direktur yang Bertanggung Jawab Kantor Lapangan FBI di Los Angeles.

Hasil yang diperoleh Abbas dari kegiatan ini membantunya membangun persona di Instagram dengan memamerkan gaya hidup mewah, di mana ia memperoleh status influencer, yang selanjutnya membantu serangan rekayasa sosial terhadap target.

Abbas akhirnya ditangkap di Dubai, UEA, pada Juni 2020 dan mengaku bersalah atas tuduhan pencucian uang pada April 2021.

Pengumuman DoJ menggambarkan beberapa contoh percobaan penipuan yang dilakukan Abbas, dirangkum di bawah ini:

Januari 2019 – ditawarkan untuk mencuci $14,7 juta yang dicuri oleh peretas Korea Utara dalam perampokan siber bank Malta, mengarahkan jumlah tersebut melalui rekening di Rumania dan Bulgaria.

Mei 2019 – mencuci jutaan pound yang dicuri dari klub sepak bola (sepak bola) profesional di Inggris, menggunakan rekening bank Meksiko.

Oktober 2019 – menipu firma hukum yang berbasis di New York untuk mengirim $922.857 ke akun di bawah kendali seorang konspirator.

Alaumary diperintahkan untuk membayar ganti rugi lebih dari $30.000.000, yang menunjukkan bahwa ia memegang peran yang lebih sentral dalam skema tersebut, sebagai penerima utama dana yang dicuri.
