Some Nigerians were quick to point at Hushpuppi, who was recently arrested others stated that it was good he was arrested before the Twitter hack else he would have been said to be the brain behind.

ThankGod Hushpuppi is still in their custody. Imagine if he was repatriated to Nigeria and this happened.

And nope Hushpuppi and his ilk have done not very much to affect your chances at anything (except you are in the financial industry: this will result in more checks)
Die that narrative that being nigerian limits you (well you go chop bants).. the only limit is YOURSELF!— ugo gbuzuo: ocha keeee (@onyeigboasef) July 16, 2020
If Hushpuppi wasn’t locked up, my naija people would have said he is the one Co-ordinating the Twitter bitcoin scam 😂
