A Nigerian Dubai base Instagram celebrity popularly known as Hushpuppi and his friend Woodberry have been busted by the SWAT team in conjunction with the Dubai Police department.
Before, Hushpuppi is a self acclaimed celebrity on Instagram flaunting his wealth to amuse his followers. He was known to be a philanthropist because of his good deeds to people in need. His source of income was unknown.
Although, some people believed he’s a business mogul. However, nobody not even his followers or family members are aware of his source of wealth. Hushpuppi’s source of wealth became a mystery to many until the operation tagged “Fox Hunt 2” uncovered he and his team secrets.
While Hushpuppi was living large and spending money on expensive sh*t. The Dubai Police was doing their surveillance on him and his team. Actually, if there was another name for Gucci brand, it would be Hushpuppi!. Everything he used from his face cap to socks were designers. His extravagant lifestyle on the social media drew a lot of attention to him. Soon, his fame grew wide and became an Instagram influencer and celebrity. But the end is here...
Fox Hunt 2
The Dubai Police department detest crime especially fraud. Their hatred towards heinous crimes such as money laundering, cyber scam etc made them to devise a scheme for uncovering the perpetrators using the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
According to the Commander-In-Chief of Dubai Police,
“as criminals constantly change their criminal methods, the Dubai Police work tirelessly to qualify elites officers and employees specialized in facilitating the latest technologies to tackle emerging and transnational organised crime...”

Early February, the police department in Dubai apprehended nine (9) fraudsters who are working under disguise of getting jobs for people but was a means of extorting people. This operation was titled “Fox Hunt 1”
The blockbuster operation was the mission of Hushpuppi, Woodberry and their gangs titled “Fox Hunt 2”.
After several years of surveillance team on Hushpuppi, the Dubai Police department clinically carried out their arrest on the 12-men team in their residence. The SWAT team and Dubai police excellently carried out the operation.
After his arrest, investigations began. And early this morning, the Dubai Police department released a video footage of evidences, assets and equipments recovered from the Fox Hunt 2 operation.
Among the equipments are;
"...Dh150 million in cash, 13 luxury cars with an estimated value of Dh25 million obtained from fraud crimes, and confiscated 21 computer devices, 47 smartphones, 15 memory sticks, five hard disks containing 119,580 fraud files as well as addresses of 1.926 victims,"

The extent of Hushpuppi and his 11-men team fraud is alarming. The investigation recovered a global scam documents worth Dh.1.6 billion (about $435 million dollars). Also, a total number of 1.926 people have been unfortunate victims of their scam. This is really pathetic.
I have to pen down this on the blockchain because I don’t support crime or cyber scam. NO!
And for reference purposes too.
