Rapper G Herbo is one of five people charged in a massive credit card fraud scheme. According to TMZ, a new federal complaint said that the rapper, along with his music promoter and other members of his crew allegedly conspired to defraud numerous businesses with stolen credit cards over the course of a four year period.
The feds have claimed that the rapper conspired to get a private villa in Jamaica back in July 2017 by contacting music promoter Antonio Strong to arrange it and provide a stolen credit card to pay for incidentals.
Meanwhile, the feds have also alleged that Herbo teamed up with Strong to use an alias and a stolen credit card to purchase two “designer puppies” from a luxury pet store. The feds have also claimed that the other defendants also scored private jet charters to fly in women, private yacht charters, exotic car rentals and luxury hotel and vacation rental accommodations.
Herbo has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts of aiding and abetting aggravated identity theft. Strong — who was arrested back in September, has been charged with several counts, including wire fraud.
A rep for G Herbo said in a statement, “He (G Herbo) maintains his innocence and looks forward to establishing his innocence in court.”
The rep added, “Herbo has legal representation in Massachusetts via Prince Lobel, whose team has reached out to the US Attorney’s office in Massachusetts to make arrangements for Herbo's appearance. G Herbo will appear in Massachusetts whenever he is required either in person or via Zoom.”
