Notorious internet fraudster, Hushpuppi, has been jailed for over 11 years in the US for his role in an international fraud syndicate and he will serve his sentence of 135 months in a federal prison.

The judge in Los Angeles also ordered him to pay over one million dollars in restitution to two fraud victims.

Last year he pleaded guilty to money laundering.

Hushpuppi had admitted to attempting to steal over $1.1m from someone who wanted to fund a new children's school in Qatar, according to court documents in California.

He also admitted to "several other cyber and business email compromise schemes that cumulatively caused more than $24 million in losses", the US justice department said.

Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Abbas, flaunted his wealthy lifestyle on his page which had 2.8 million followers until it was disabled.
