The United States Attorney General’s office has debunked reports of fresh allegations of $400,000 fraud allegedly perpetrated from prison by Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
The Director of Media Relations, United States Attorney’s Office (Los Angeles), Thom Mrozek, provided the clarification on Thursday.
The office of the lawyer to Hushpuppi denied knowledge of the filing of the document, describing the news as fake.
“After looking at the document excerpted in recent media accounts, the document appears to have been fabricated.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, which filed the case against Mr. Abbas, has not filed any such document.
“We have checked with the FBI agent who supposedly authored the document, and he confirms it is a fake,” the official told Premium Times.
