US court adjourns Hushpuppi’s sentencing for 3rd time in seven months
The United States attorney’s office in the central district of California has again postponed the sentencing of Hushpuppi, the self-confessed international fraudster.
The embattled socialite is now scheduled to be sentenced in November — although the new date remains unclear.
BBC Pidgin quoted Ciaran Mc Evoy, spokesperson at the US attorney office, as saying the sentencing will now hold on November 3.
But Premium Times, citing a court notice, said Otis Wright, the trial judge, fixed November 7 as the date to sentence Hushpuppi.
“Counsel are notified, the sentencing is continued to November 7, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the notice reportedly read.
This makes it the third time Hushpuppi’s sentencing date will be adjusted since his conviction last year.
He was earlier expected to be sentenced on February 14 but the court adjourned the case to July 11.
The court session was again shifted to September 11.
