Popular internet fraudster Ramon “Hushpuppi” Abbas, in a final attempt to reduce his jail sentence, has appealed to Judge Wright, claiming he made only $300,000 from his involvement in the crimes he has been tried for

In a handwritten letter obtained by Peoples Gazette and addressed to Mr Wright and filed on Friday at the US District for the Central District of California, Mr Abbas remarked his humble beginnings as a salesman.

“I started business over 25 years ago, trading & selling sneakers & clothing in our then neighbourhood & went from selling clothes out of my car trunk to owning my own boutique across my city and beyond under my company, MONEABBAS NIG LTD”, Mr Abbas wrote

In the letter obtained by Peoples Gazette, Mr Abbas said he joined Instagram in 2012 to share his style online. He noted that his business had gotten successful & had expanded into “fashion, real estate & entertainment deals.”
