Instagram has deactivated the verified account of Ramon Abbas, better known as Hushpuppi,
Hushpuppi who is currently facing charges of fraud in the US was detained in Dubai in June 2020 for alleged internet fraud by a joint team of the Dubai Police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He was later extradited to the US, where he was accused of numerous offenses including hacking, impersonation, scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft.

Hushpuppi was detained and put on trial, but Instagram still permitted him to post videos and pictures as long as he did not represent any harmful entities or individuals.
The social networking site, however, appears to have reconsidered its decision to keep Hushpuppi's account active.
The alleged internet fraudster currently has around 2.8 million followers on his @hushpuppi account, 827 followers, and 540 posts.
On Sunday, October 30, 2022, a search made by The PUNCH to see if Hushpuppi's account was still operational showed that his account has been disabled.
