6ix9ine Megathread

Posted: 20 Nov 2018 12:00 PM PST

There have been a lot of posts in the past 24 hours, many reiterating things in this post, but some containing new information still removed mistakenly by us. Here's a comprehensive run-down of what's happened so far:

November 19th:6ix9ine Reportedly Arrested on Racketeering Charges

6ix9ine and his former manager have reportedly been arrested on racketeering charges.

6ix9ine, former manager Shottie, Faheem Walter (a.k.a. Crippy), and one other suspect were reportedly taken in by ATF agents in New York City Sunday night. Per a separate Pitchfork report, the fourth suspect is Jensel Butler. All four are now expected to face firearm and racketeering charges following a collaborative investigation from the ATF with assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and the New York City Police Department.

Shottie was previously in the news after turning himself in to police in connection with last month's shooting incident involving one of 6ix9ine's bodyguards.

6ix9ine Faces Life in Prison Over Racketeering and Firearms Offenses

The first of what is certain to be several details on the charges have been released. According to TMZ, the 17-page indictment shows that 6ix9ine is facing six counts, with the most serious of those being the discharging of a firearm while committing a crime. The punishment for that charge would have a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison, and could potentially carry a life sentence. He and his crew have also been accused of conspiring to commit crimes that include armed robbery, drug dealing, and shootings. 6ix9ine's ex-manager, Shottie, is in equally hot water as he also faces the same six counts as his former client.

According to prosecutors, the acts of violence that have been alleged were reportedly about protecting the Nine Trey Bloods gang's drug business, retaliating against gang rivals (including those who were deemed "disloyal" to the gang), and for the sake of promoting their violent reputation.

Law enforcement believes that 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) and his associates were dealing pot, heroin, MDMA, and fentanyl throughout New York City. They also think that the rapper committed an armed robbery against rival gang members on April 3 alongside Shottie and a pair of Nine Trey Bloods members as part of a gang initiation.

As was reported by the New York Daily News, the indictments date all the way back to 2013.

6ix9ine's attorney Lance Lazzaro attempted to get his client released on $1 million bail by offering that the rapper be placed under house arrest and for him to surrender his passport, Rolling Stone reports. Bail was denied and 6ix9ine remains in federal custody. If he's convicted on all charges, 6ix9ine faces a minimum of 32 years in prison.

Daily Beast reports that 6ix9ine was warned by federal agents that he was in danger from his crew. They reportedly offered to move the rapper to a hotel to protect him but he declined. The publication reports that investigators, while using a wiretap, heard 6ix9ine's former associates saying they wished to "super-violate" him. The news of 6ix9ine's arrest, as well as the reported animosity towards Hernandez from his associates, comes on the heels of the rapper's recent decision to fire his whole team.

"Members and associates of the Enterprise promoted and celebrated the criminal conduct of the Enterprise, namely narcotics distribution, acts involving violence, and the use of firearms, in music and on social media," prosecutors said in court, per Page Six. "The purposes of the Enterprise included preserving and protecting the power, territory, and profits of the Enterprise through acts involving murder…and threats of violence."

"Daniel Hernandez did not get involved with any of these individuals until 2017," Lazzaro said in defense of his client.

also "The rapper is scheduled to have another bail hearing on Wednesday."

There was a TMZ report that he was placed in general population at BKDC, this is purposefully misleading. He's currently in new admission, where everybody goes before getting sorted. He'll likely end up somewhere more secure (source: /u/THEpapaSmurf, a CO in BKDC)

Fat Joe: You see what happened to Bobby Shmurda, one million percent, they are plotting you on. You got a lot of energy around you. Do you wanna be successful? Do you wanna be the king? Do you wanna be rich? Do you wanna take care of your family? One move, and they're gonna try to throw you in there. Big time. Do you understand this?

6ix9ine: I ain't doing nothing, man. I'm just talking about shit, we don't go out there looking for trouble, we address it.
