VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

US Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to sentence convicted internet fraudster, Hushpuppi’s partner Woodberry to 14 years imprisonment over an $8 million scam.

According to sources, US Federal prosecutors requested that online fraudster Woodberry serve 14 years in prison for scamming many US businesses.

Eight counts were presented against Hushpuppi in the US court, and he and his companion Woodberry pleaded guilty to one of those counts. Woodberry agreed to turn over $8 million in wire fraud earnings as well as expensive automobiles and timepieces to the foreign government after entering a guilty plea.

“The government recommends that this court sentence the defendant to 168 months’ imprisonment, which is sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a),” the prosecutors said. “The government further recommends that the court order restitution and forfeiture as described above and impose a special assessment of $100.”

Recall that Hushpuppi and Mr Woodbery amongst others were nabbed by Interpol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI in Dubai in June, 2020.
