American Rapper/actor, 50 Cent To Produce TV Series on Hushpuppi (Details)
American rapper, actor and producer, Curtis James Jackson III better known as 50 Cent, has announced plans to release a movie series based on notorious Nigerian internet fraudster, Ramon Abass.
Abass who is best known as Hushpuppi, was arrested by the United Arab Emirates in June 2020, at Dubai for defrauding over 1.9 million people, majority of whom were Americans.
He was afterwards extradited to the United States for trial on July 3, the same year.
It would be recalled we reported earlier that the United States District Court sitting at the Central District of California on Monday sentenced Hushpuppi to 11 years and three months’ after he was found guilty of laundering proceeds of a school financing scam, business email compromise and other fraudulent cyber schemes.
The 37 years old had earlier pleaded guilty to the charges filed against him during the trial.
Sharing pictures of the convict, 50 Cent who is famed for producing hit tv series like Power, Power Book II, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, amongst others, made it known via his Instagram account on Wednesday that he was working on a movie project based on Hushpuppi’s story.
The G-Unit Records founder wrote in the caption, “For my scammers I gotta do this one. Hushpuppi series coming soon! GLG, Green Light Gang I don’t miss. #Bransoncognac #lecheminduroi #gunitfilmandtv.”
