G Herbo admitted to participating in a scheme that used stolen credit card information to fund private jet excursions, a trip to a villa in Jamaica, exotic car rentals, and “designer puppies'
In a written statement, Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy said Wright “used stolen account information as his very own unlimited funding source” in order to fund “an extravagant lifestyle and advance his career.” Levy added that the artist “affected countless businesses and individuals across the United States who had to foot his nearly $140,000 bill in unauthorized transactions,” and that he “flaunted his lavish spending on social media, in music videos and in industry news.
“Wright used the proceeds of these frauds to travel to various concert venues and to advance his career by posting photographs and/or videos of himself on the private jets, in the exotic cars, and at the Jamaican villa,” alleged the plea agreement made public earlier this month.
