The lawyers representing alleged Nigerian scammer Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Ray Hushpuppi, have applied to withdraw from his case in a new plot twist.
U.S. attorneys identified as Gal Pissetzky and Vicki Podberesky said Mr. Abass (Hushpuppi) stopped communicating with them and hired new attorneys to defend him on the case.
The attorneys decided to pull out of the case after months of negotiations with the US government.

Recall that new evidence was submitted against the embattled Hushpuppi, who was apprehended months ago in Dubai. He was subsequently extradited to the United States for allegedly being part of a network that swindled “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams. The new evidence suggests that he used his personal email to register on a website “whizzlog” which is a market place for buying US bank logs and money laundering.
It was also alleged that his email address contained registration confirmation from Whizzlog and numerous confirmation and receipts of bank logs he purchased.
