Recall that the
Instagram celebrity who was arrested last month in Dubai for alleged wire fraud
and extradited to the U.S on July 3, was accused of being part of a network
that made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise
frauds and other scams.
The US court has now
revealed it denied Hushpuppi bail and the opportunity to stay with his
girlfriend's Uncle pending the conclusion of his trial.
Based on the
recommendations of the Pretrial services which provides the court quality
information about defendants, it was stated that Hushpuppi presents a risk of
non appearance and should be removed to the charging district in California in
custody.
Premium Times reported that other factors include the fact that Mr Abbas is subject to lengthy period of incarceration if convicted, lacks significant community or family ties to the district, lacks significant family or other ties outside the United States, lacks legal status in the country and will be subjected to removal or deportation for serving any period of incarceration.
If the allegations
turns out true, it was further stated that Huspuppi who has ties with many
foreign countries has sufficient assets to fund flight to anywhere in the
world.
The statement partly
read;
“Abbas reportedly
rents an apartment in Dubai for $10.000 a month and drives a Bentley. He is
alleged to have committed financial crimes that netted tens of millions of
dollars or more.
"For these
reasons and those stated on the record, Mr Abbas shall be removed to the
charging district in the custody of the US Marshal."
Hushpuppi risks
spending 20 years in prison if convicted.
