The 27-year-old allegedly used the scheme to pay for an extravagant lifestyle, including private jets, expensive cars, luxury vacation rentals, and even designer puppies.As part of the deal with prosecutors, the court dismissed several counts of aggravated identity theft. The rapper has also agreed to forfeit nearly $140,000, which represents the amount he benefited from the $1.5 million scheme.According to acting U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy, G Herbo "used stolen account information as his very own unlimited funding source, using victims' payment cards to finance an extravagant lifestyle and advance his career."The scheme — which ran from March 2017 to November 2018 — involved G Herbo and his promoter, Antonio Strong, sharing stolen account information from dark websites through texts, social media messages, and emails.One instance involved using stolen account information to pay for a chartered jet from Chicago to Austin, Tex., for G Herbo and his entourage, according to authorities. On another occasion, a stolen account was used to pay for a luxurious Jamaican villa where G Herbo and seven others stayed for several days. G Herbo also helped Strong purchase two designer Yorkshire terrier puppies from a Michigan pet shop, totaling over $10,000.The stolen credit card transactions went through initially because the information was authentic, but many of the real card holders discovered the fraud and later reported it.In May 2021, G Herbo lied to federal investigators about his connection with Strong, but prosecutors later revealed that the two had been working together since at least 2016.Antonio Strong has pleaded not guilty and is currently awaiting trial. G Herbo's sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 7, and he could face a maximum jail time of 25 years.Listen to this episode of Notorious Mass Effect to learn more about the G Herbo credit card fraud case and how he used stolen information to fund his lavish lifestyle.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
