HushPuppi Makes His 1st Court Appearance In Chicago Today…Read His 26 Page Criminal Complaint

Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, 37, a.k.a. “Ray Hushpuppi” arrived in Chicago Thursday evening after being expelled from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Abbas made his initial U.S. court appearance this morning in Chicago, and he is expected to be transferred to Los Angeles in the coming weeks.

 He was arrested last month by UAE law enforcement officials. FBI special agents earlier this week obtained custody of Abbas and brought him to the United States to face a charge of conspiring to engage in money laundering that is alleged in a criminal complaint filed on June 25 by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles.
