Abbas, who has passports to two other countries, will be transferred to Los Angeles where he will go on trial later this year.

Assistant United States Attorney Melody Wells, a prosecutor in the Chicago district attorney’s office, convinced the court that Abbas is a flight risk, describing his “significant” financial assets, “deep ties to foreign countries” and a lack of ties to the United States. Wells said Abbas had the “perfect recipe to flee the charges that he faces here.”

The court ruled that there was “more than enough justification to order that the U.S. Marshall bring [Abbas] to California as soon as possible to answer the complaint there.” Ruling that Abbas had “A great incentive not to continue to respond to these proceedings here,” as he is “facing a long sentence.”

At the hearing Pissetzky told the court that his client posed no flight risk because of the damage it would do to his credibility online. Adding “He is loved and respected. He is a celebrity. He would not want to ruin his credibility and status rather than stay here and face these allegations.”

But cops in America are allowed to kill innocent black people and this matters most

Hushpuppi will be shouting 'mama I made it to Forbes' 😆

I don't know much about law, but based on this article, it doesn't seem like the prosecutors have any concrete evidence against him. Maybe they are not compelled to provide any till the actual trial begins.

This is what we call 'mama, I made it to forbes' 😂🤣😅

Bail was denied!

He developed Resl Estate in his imagination. There is a reason why the law is after him.

It’s easy to be an influencer of morons, when your money comes from illegals activities, as opposed to earning your keep, as a productive, law abiding citizen.

Real estate developer* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
