Chibuzo Kelly Vincent. Chibuzo is one of the 6 people the FBI indicted over an elaborate scheme to defraud a Qatari businessperson of more than $1 million, masterminded by celebrity fraudster, Ramon 'Hushpuppi' Abbas.   However, Chibuzo reportedly wanted more money from the deal and threatened to expose the fraud if he doesn't get it, so Hushpuppi allegedly paid Abba Kyari to arrest and detain Chibuzo.

He has therefore gifted Australia’s Ashleigh Barty and John Peers the bronze in the doubles without letting them sweat for it. He has also let down his partner, Nina Stojanović. Djokovic, the world No. 1 from Serbia, will now leave Tokyo empty-handed in what has proved a majorly disappointing Olympic Games.
