US lawyer Gal Pissetzky defends Hushppopi, makes strong claims, comments

Gal Pissetzky, lawyer to Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi has made strong claims and comments to defend his client amid allegations of fraud and money laundering leveled against in the US.

Gal Pissetzky who spoke to Forbes, insisted that he is “an entrepreneur” who made his money legitimately through “real estate” and his work “promoting brands” as an “Instagram personality.”

Recall that Hushpuppi also accused of being involved in a fraudulent scheme which defrauded a New York-based law firm of approximately $922,800 through a combination of computer hacking and social engineering.

Pissetzky, however, 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.

According to him, “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.”

Speaking further about his relationship with Premier League footballers Tammy Abraham and Ezri Konsa, he said: “Mr Abbas is friends with a lot of people. Somebody who has that many followers – obviously he knows and has friends in a lot of places … it’s all legitimate.”
