G Herbo is facing a potentially lengthy prison sentence after agreeing to plead guilty to federal fraud charges in Massachusetts. This comes after he initially pleaded not guilty to the charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The rapper is accused of using stolen identities to make fraudulent charges for extravagant services, including private jet trips and designer puppies.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the prosecution has uncovered up to $1.5 million in stolen goods and services so far, and it is alleged that Herbo and his crew have been involved in this scheme for the past four years, accumulating around $2 million in expenses. If convicted, Herbo could face up to six years in prison. A wire fraud count can result in 20 years in prison, but under the federal sentencing guidelines, the term would be much lower, per the outlet.
