The US government has dismissed as fake the reports that the detained Nigerian influencer Ramon Abbas, known as Hushpuppi, executed a $400,000 internet fraud from prison.
A document emerged on social media claiming that the FBI filed new evidence against Hushpuppi for defrauding Americans using prison internet facilities.
An official of the US Department of Justice however told the BBC that the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, which filed the case against Hushpuppi, has not filed any such document.
The Official says the document appears to have been fabricated and the FBI confirm it is a fake.
