HE WAS RUNNING A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS

Hushpuppi’s lawyer, Gal Pissetzky, has denied that he was involved
in fraud and money laundering activities.
Pissetzky told Forbes that his client was running a
legitimate business and a very legitimate Instagram account, and did not take
part in any scam or fraud.
He said “Absolutely not guilty of [the] charges they are
accusing him of. Abbas was running a legitimate business and a very legitimate
Instagram account and did not take part in any scam or fraud.”
“He's an entrepreneur. He has real estate involvement ...
[he's] an Instagram personality. He was promoting brands and that's how he was
very legitimately making his money.”
Hushpuppi who is currently being held at MCC Chicago
pending a bail hearing, faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in
federal prison. A hearing in Chicago on Monday July 13, will determine if Abbas
will be detained pending trial.
