In late June, Dubai Police arrested the influencer and recovered AED150 million in cash, 13 cars worth $6.8m, 21 computers, 47 smartphones and hard disks containing the addresses of two MILLION victims<\/h2>\n
Currently, awaiting trial in the US, Hushpuppi has now been denied Bail. He requested to stay with a relative nearby, however, the court stated that due to his potential access to large sums of cash and connections with other countries, he’s been deemed a flight risk<\/h2>\n
Arrested with an associate Woodbery, Hushpuppi was wanted for a number of crimes including money-laundering and bank fraud to the tune of AED1.6 million<\/h2>\n
Last week, his defence argued that his wealth is legit, and that he made it from endorsements, ‘real estate’ and promoting brands<\/h2>\n
