The Premier League Trophy Getty ImagesAn English Premier League football club has become embroiled in a criminal complaint brought against self-proclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Ramon Abbas, a Nigerian influencer with over 2.5 million followers on Instagram. His lifestyle has made him a popular figure on a variety of social media platforms including Snapchat and Instagram. But perhaps most notably, Abbas is accused of a “scheme to steal” $124 million from an English Premier League soccer club in May 2019. The Premier League has not yet responded to questions. “I think they got a little overly ambitious and greedy on that one,” she adds, “That amount is huge.” With very few player transfer fees approaching that size, the sum is an anomaly even for the 20 hyper wealthy Premier League clubs.
