He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in money laundering with multiple people within and outside the US to ladder the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The socialite however bagged only 11 years in prison after he appealed to US Judge Otis Wright to temper justice with mercy and a lighter jail term after scoring high in cleaning activities while in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Hushpuppi\u2019s Instagram page, which has 2.8 million followers, has vanished from the image-sharing platform.
