In a tweet, Gar Warner alluded that the documents were doctored to back the claim while stating that every piece of it was from the fraudster’s arraignment in 2020.
“People are asking me if it is true that #Hushpuppi laundered $400,000 in #Stimulus cards from in prison.
The document they show is an edit of a June 2020 Affidavit. The new version is fake, intended to get people to visit a scammer EIP website,” Gar Warner wrote.
