Hushpuppi gained notoriety for his lavish lifestyle, often posting pictures and videos of himself with exotic cars, designer clothes, and luxury watches.

Some of his notable scams include defrauding a US law firm of approximately $40 million and attempting to steal $124 million from an English Premier League club. He was also accused of aiding North Korean hackers in money laundering.
In November 2022, Hushpuppi was sentenced to 11 years in a US federal prison for his crimes. His story has been widely reported, with many viewing him as a symbol of the dangers of cybercrime and the corrupting influence of wealth.
