Description: This is the story of a Nigerian scammer who laundered hundreds of millions of dollars, much of which likely ended up in the hands of North Korea, whose downfall came about through his own seeking of celebrity status and flaunting of extreme wealth, and kind of trying to be an influencer. It's a tale of its time. This is the bizarre case of Ramon "Hushpuppi" Abbas.
