Back in 2018, an Italian newspaper II Tempo reported that Lazio were scammed via an email for a sum of £2 million (N968 million) by fraudsters who were aware of their transfer deal.

The money was for the final payment of Stefan de Vrij who Lazio signed from Feyenoord, a club in Netherland.

Back in 2018, an Italian newspaper II Tempo reported that Lazio were scammed via an email for a sum of £2 million (N968 million) by fraudsters who were aware of their transfer deal.

The money was for the final payment of Stefan de Vrij who Lazio signed from Feyenoord, a club in Netherland.

The hackers sent an email, which has the badge of Feyenoord along with details of a bank account, to Lazio. The Italian club, who thought the email was from Feyenoord, sent the money without doing any necessary checks, and would later find out that the money was not transferred into the account of Feyenoord, but to a wrong account also in Netherland which belonged to fraudsters.

It has now been reported that Hushpuppi and his gangs were responsible for the fraud, according to Brila.

He was also looking forward to scamming English football clubs before he was arrested.

It has been disclosed that USA lost $1.7 billion in 2019 to Hushpuppi, and he is likely to face 20 years in prison.
