Hushpuppi reportedly entered a plea, insisting that he is not guilty of the charges. The Instagram celebrity will be represented in court by Vicki Podberesky, a top-rated lawyer in California and Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago-based lawyer appearing prohac vice because he is not licensed to practise outside Chicago.

Noted, thanks for updating us on this issue. Let’s see how it will go then wether is guilty or not. I hope his case will serve as a deterrent to other internet fraudsters.
Pleading not guilty upon the evidences. though, you are not guilty until you were proven otherwise by the court of law. let us see how it will go. I will just implore those who are in the internet fraudsters to desist from it and go back to legitimate business.
Anyway is not my business
Free the man….10% of conflict is due to difference of opinion. 90% is due to the wrong tone of voice.
Thank God for that.
I have missed his picture and videos,and all the Gucci wears.
Hmmmmm!!! We are waiting and watching as events go on
Nobody is seen as guilty unless declared guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction
Let the judges do their work by judging the case with utmost good faith and the fear of God
If he is discharged and squited do be it, if he is found guilty of the charges, he faces the penalty/penalties
Hmm… God help him
