Hushpuppi: A US cybercrime expert claims the document in circulation is a forgery

Gary Warner, a cybercrime expert in the United States, has debunked the circulating document indicting Ramon Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi.

In the paper, Hushpuppi is tied to an alleged $400,000 money laundering conspiracy originating from a US prison.

Touchaheart reports that the spreading paper is “false and meant to induce users to visit a scammer EIP website,” according to Gary.

Abbas is accused of buying EIP debit cards and using them to launder more than $400,000 in cash.

Hushpuppi is currently serving time in a California prison on charges of money laundering.

According to documents disclosed on Thursday, this online news outlet learned about this; Abbas continued his illicit internet operations  incarcerated, according to Andrew John Innocenti, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

According to the lawsuit, Abbas bought 36 virtual EIP cards and 22 real EIP cards, all of which included stolen personal information from US citizens and residents.

He then allegedly collaborated with a person named ‘AJ’ to use the cards at ATMs and online stores, with Abbas apparently directing ‘AJ’ on what to buy.

The statements were challenged by Warner, the Director of Computer Forensics Research at the University of Alabama in the United States.

Writing on Twitter: “People are asking me if it 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.”
