Chicago rapper G Herbo admitted to using stolen credit cards to pay for private jets and luxury cars, among other items.Chicago rap star G Herbo has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges that accused him of using information from stolen credit cards to pay for private jets, expensive meals, luxury cars and a stay at a Jamaican villa.
An indictment handed down in late 2020 accused Wright and five others of obtaining stolen credit card information from "dark web sites" and other places. They also used fake IDs, driver's licenses and e-mail accounts in the names of aliases and real businesses to defraud people and companies, the indictment stated.
In another case, Wright allegedly sent a direct message to Strong over Instagram around July 7, 2019, requesting a reservation for a private villa in Jamaica, the indictment stated. Strong allegedly made the reservation using stolen payment information, and Wright allegedly stayed at the villa with his associates from July 7 to July 11.
While Wright has scored gold and platinum plaques and emerged as a local philanthropist, his rise to fame continues to be hampered by legal issues.
