Chicago rapper G Herbo has been sentenced to three years probation for identity theft.
A Massachusetts court handed the rapper the sentence on federal wire fraud charges in a conspiracy to use stolen identities to fund private jets, a Jamaican villa, “designer puppies,” and other exotic services and lied about it to authorities.
G Herbo was ordered to pay restitution and forfeiture, as well as a $5,500 fine.
The prosecution had asked for a probationary period after the rapper pleaded guilty in the case. They had also requested a sentence of one year and one day in prison, along with 36 months of supervised release.
The rapper was charged alongside five other suspects including his promoter and manager Antonio “T-Glo” Strong.
The prosecution said G Herbo’s main involvement was paying his manager to arrange flights and other accommodations that he knew were bought through stolen credit card information.
The rapper’s manager pleaded not guilty.
