G Herbo Sentenced To Three Years Probation In Wire Fraud Case

On Friday, G Herbo was handed three years of probation in a wire fraud case involving the use of stolen credit cards. The sentencing diverged from the prosecution’s request for a one-year prison term and 36 months of supervised release.

Additionally, Herbo is required to pay $139,968 in restitution and forfeiture and a $5,500 fine. The sum came after Herbo had already paid $140,000 related to profits from the $1.5 million scheme. The presiding judge noted, “Under the circumstances of this case, a sentence of probation will reflect the seriousness of the charge and protect the public.”

Herbo was initially charged in late 2020. The indictment accused the Chicago native and his associates of using stolen identities over four years to fund extravagant expenses, including private jet trips, a Jamaican villa vacation and the purchase of designer puppies.

Prosecutors detailed the scheme as centering on using stolen credit card information from the dark web. Furthermore, Herbo pleaded guilty in 2023.
