An Instagram star called 'Hushpuppi' was 'kidnapped' by the FBI to face trial in the US, his lawyer said. 'Hushpuppi', whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, had over 2.5 million followers on Instagram, where he shared pictures of his lavish lifestyle.
However, he was arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last month for allegedly conspiring to launder hundreds of millions of dollars through a scam. FBI agents then 'obtained custody' of Abbas, 37, who was taken to Chicago in early July after being kicked out of the UAE.
