Ramon Abbas, 40, was sentenced on Monday in Los Angeles to 135 months in prison after pleading guilty in April 2021 to conspiracy to engage in money laundering, which included helping North Korean hackers launder money from their attempts to steal more than $1.3-billion through cyber-enabled bank heists, according to the US government.

Abbas, born in Nigeria, gained fame in Instagram posts to his more than 2 million followers, often smiling in front of one of his Rolls Royces or his Ferrari, or kicking back in a seat on a private jet. On gossip blogs, he was known as a “Nigerian big boy”, shorthand for an online fraudster.
