 Popular fraud star Hushpuppi, a popular Instagram celebrity, has been charged again after US authorities filed court records detailing how he committed fraud and laundered over $400k while imprisoned.

On March 16, 2022, US prosecutors filed papers to the United States District Court of California with new evidence accusing HushPuppi of practicing fraud and money laundering in a federal jail institution in the United States.

According to court documents, Hushpuppi engaged in the purchase and laundering of Economic Impact Payment debit cards obtained unlawfully from stolen data of US citizens and residents while imprisoned in a federal prison in the United States.

Economic Impact Payments are a type of financial assistance provided by the US government to US citizens under the CARES Act. Debit cards are one of the ways eligible US people get their Economic Impact Payments. According to court records, hackers utilize data from US people to file for and obtain Economic Impact Payments debit cards. They sell these EIP cards to other cybercriminals on underground markets.
