March 17, 2022 Hushpuppi Caught In $400k Fraud Case While In US Prison

Hushpuppi Caught In $400k Fraud Case While In US Prison

The documents showed fresh evidence indicting HushPuppi of committing fraud and money laundering in U.S Federal correctional facility.

A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent in the United States (US) has alleged that Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi, received fresh charges as the United States prosecutors submitted court documents showing that he committed fraud and laundered over $400,000 while in jail.

According to documents submitted before the United States District Court of California on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, HushPuppi committed fraud and money laundering while in a US federal correctional facility.

The documents revealed that Hushpuppi, while in prison, participated in the purchase and laundering of Economic Impact Payment debit cards fraudulently obtained from stolen data of US citizens and residents.

Economic Impact Payments are a key provision of the US Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act legislation that Congress passed to help reduce the financial burden of COVID-19 on individuals and their families. One of the ways eligible US residents receive their Economic Impact Payments is by debit cards.

From the documents presented in court, it was found that hackers use data of US residents to file and obtain Economic Impact Payments debit cards. They sell off these EIP cards in underground marketplaces to other cybercriminals.

According to the agent, Hushpuppi was actively buying EIP debit cards from an underground cybercriminal marketplace called StimulusCard (“https://stimuluscard.com/”). While being recorded, Hushpuppi bought a total of 58 EIP debit cards with a total value of $429,800 on the site and laundered the money through one AJ.

Reacting, the US authorities, according to reports, said prisoners have limited access to the telephone, video, internet and computer use because of their right to privacy in a court filing.

The authority stated that like the rest of the detainees, Hushpuppi was granted access to the computer network.

March 17, 2022 Kanye West Suspended From Instagram

Kanye West Suspended From Instagram

Page Six has confirmed that Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours after going after Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah on the social media platform.

A spokesperson from Meta mentioned that the recent posts from the rapper violates the company’s policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying. He will be unable to post, comment or send DMs for 24 hours.

The spokesperson also mentioned that if West, 44, continues to violate the policies, the company will take additional steps.

After repeatedly taking aim at ex-wife Kardashian, 41, and her boyfriend, Davidson, 28, over the last several weeks, West most recently lobbed a racial slur at Noah, 38, on Wednesday.

“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya,” West captioned a screenshot from a Google search result describing Noah as a “South African comedian.”

West was mocking Noah by using the offensive “k–n” slur to replace the original lyrics in “Kumbaya.”

West’s offensive posts toward Noah came in response to the comedian discussing his dynamic with Kardashian and Davidson on “The Daily Show.”

“What [Kardashian is] going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” Noah said on his Comedy Central series.

Noah compared West’s situation with Kardashian to his own experience witnessing abuse as a child. He mentioned people thought his mother, Patricia, was “overreacting” before his stepfather shot her in the head. (Patricia survived the attempted murder.)

“As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming?” Noah asked on the show.

Kylie Jenner Opens Up About Postpartum Struggles

Kylie Jenner admitted Tuesday that “postpartum has not been easy” just six weeks after she gave birth to her second child with Travis Scott.

“It’s very hard,” the 24-year-old began in a series videos posted to her Instagram Stories.

“This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter.”

Jenner welcomed her first child Scott, daughter Stormi, in February 2018 after a very secretive pregnancy.

She then gave birth to her son, Wolf, four years later on Feb. 2, 2022.

The makeup mogul said this time around postpartum has been difficult on her “mentally, physically, [and] spiritually.”

Jenner said she wanted to speak out about her struggles because she understands how fellow moms could go on the internet and feel “pressure” to return to their normal lives.

“It hasn’t been easy for me, either,” she reiterated. “It’s been hard, and I just wanted to say that so.”

Jenner then shared that she “didn’t even think” she would make it to her workout. Earlier in the day, the Kylie Cosmetics CEO posted clip of herself walking on a treadmill.

“But I’m here, and I’m feeling better,” she added before encouraging other moms, “So, you’ve got this.”

The “Kardashians” star concluded her uplifting message by saying, “It’s OK not to be OK.”
