Chicago rap sensation G Herbo faces up to 20 years behind bars after agreeing to plead guilty to allegations of him using stolen identities to fund private jets, a Jamaican villa and “designer puppies,” and then lying about it to federal agents.
The wire fraud count carries up to 20 years in prison, but under federal sentencing guidelines Wright would likely face a term in the two- to three-year range. Those details are still being worked out.A plea hearing was tentatively scheduled for July 27 before U.S. District Judge Mark G. Mastroianni.
Specifically, Wright falsely said he’d never provided Strong any money, never received anything of value from Strong and had no direct relationship with Strong. In fact, since at least 2016, Wright had received valuable goods from Strong, including private jet charters, luxury accommodations and exotic car rentals, the charges alleged.
In 2017, Strong and Wright allegedly conspired to purchase two Yorkshire terrier puppies from a business called Woof Woof Puppies in Michigan, according to the plea. Strong, using the name “Darren Geiger” and identifying himself as Wright’s manager, ordered the dogs for Wright using a stolen credit card.
The puppies were delivered, but the deal apparently soured after the payment was reversed due to suspected fraud.According to the plea agreement, on Dec. 6, 2017, Wright sent Strong a text message relating to the Woof Woof fraud, saying, “I already finessed these dogs for you & didn’t give no ... you sold at least one what you did wit the bread ain’t my problem.”
