It isn’t looking good for Young Thug and Gunna.
The FEDS arrested them on RICO charges. Here is what we know via WSBTV.
The 56-count grand jury indictment charges 28 members and associates of Young Slime Life or “YSL.”
The indictment includes charges of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery, and participation in criminal street gang activity.
According to 56 count indictment, @youngthug is facing charges of participation in street gang activity and conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act; Gunna is facing one count of conspiring to violate (RICO).
“YSL is a criminal street gang that started in late 2012 in the Cleveland Avenue area of ATL. YSL claims affiliation with the national Bloods gang.”
“YSL’s founders were Jeffery Williams AKA “Young Thug,” AKA “Slime,” Walter Murphy AKA “DK,” and Trontavious Stephens AKA “Tick” AKA “Slug.”
Young Thug is accused of renting a 2014 Infiniti Q50 sedan from Hertz, which was used in the commission of the murder of Donovan Thomas, Jr., a rival gang member, on 1-10-15, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors allege that two associates of YSL, CHRISTIAN EPPINGER and ANTONIO SUMLIN, worked to get the permission of Young Thug to make a 2nd attempt to murder YFN Lucci while he’s jailed in Fulton County.
SERGIO “Gunna” KITCHENS,associate of YSL, accused of appearing in a video released on social media titled “Fox 5,” wearing a “YSL” pendant and a “Slatt” pendant, with lyrics stating “We got ten-hundred round choppers.”
The prosecutors are painting Young Thug as one of the masterminds behind the YSL organization, which is why he is facing the more serious charges.
RICO cases are tough for defendants to win and usually, the first ones to start singing like a Mariah Carey Christmas song are the ones that get better deals. Considering how many YSL affiliates have been arrested, it will be interesting who decides to cooperate with the FEDs. Likely, they are already getting cooperation inside of the organization, and that is how they have all this evidence, to begin with.
