Abbas was also involved in the theft of approximately $992,857 from a New York law firm in 2019, and also admitted in his plea agreement that he had conspired to scam a Qatari individual seeking a $15m loan to build a school.Crucially, Abbas was collared by the Feds for conspiring to launder more than $300 million, and as far as prosecutors could demonstrate, much of this was just planned.
