Nigeria's Hushpuppi pleads guilty to money laundering
He was arrested, along with other suspects, in Dubai last June over defrauding someone in connection with a $1.1m (£788,000) school financing deal.
Hushpuppi was then extradited to the US to face charges in the US.
His plea document reveals that he admitted to his role in the school-finance scheme as were as other fraudulent activities, including what's known as business e-mail compromise schemes, that totalled $24m, a statement from the US Attorney's Office says.
The statement adds that Hushuppi worked on the school fraud with a Kenyan and Nigerian who posed as consultants and bankers to defraud a Qatari businessperson.
Hushpuppi became well-known on Instagram for his expensive lifestyle including a collection of luxury vehicles.
