G Herbo Charged In New 14-Count Indictment For Wire Fraud, Identity Theft and More

Chicago rapper G Herbo, born Herbert Wright III, and five members of his entourage were named in a 14-count indictment Wednesday, Dec. 12, on federal charges including wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The indictment filed by the U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts, back in Oct., states that Wright along with his co-defendants, Joseph Williams, Steven Hayes Jr., Demario Sorrells and Terrence Bender, have allegedly stolen credit card information, used fake IDs, driver’s licenses and e-mail accounts in order to make extravagant purchases over the last couple of years. The purchases include flying private jets, exotic car rentals, a vacation at a villa in Jamaica in 2017 and making a purchase of two designer puppies.
Wright’s manager/promoter, Antonio “T-Glo” Strong, has also been named in the indictment as ringleader of the operation and has been charged with wire fraud. Strong turned himself into authorities on Sept. 25 and “appeared for a removal hearing before U.S. District Judge Robert Dow, who ordered him brought to Massachusetts in the custody of the U.S. Marshals to face the charges there,” the Chicago Tribune reports.
The individuals have scammed off a total of $1.5 million in purchases.
“These are red flags for the opportunity to flee,” said U.S. District Judge Robert Dow. “[Strong] says that he would not do that, and his parents are willing to take him in. But who is to say that in the middle of the night, when the gravity of the charges sinks in, and maybe the weight of the evidence, he will not decide to flee?”
The 14-count indictment comes after Wright was named in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for 2021. “NEVER PAID ATTENTION 2 ACCOLADES CANT START NOW… & I CANT STOP NOW!!,” he said in his Instagram caption.
Wright has not yet turned himself into authorities.
Earlier this week, rapper Casanova was named in a 16-count federal indictment, with charges including conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
