According to The Shade Room, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts filed a new charge against the artist, Herbert Wright III, for lying to a federal agent about his link to one of his co-defendants in their pending fraud investigation.
The documents read: “Herbert Wright III, a/k/a ‘Herb,’ ‘Lil Herb,’ ‘G Herbo,’ and ‘Herbert Light,’ knowingly and willfully made the following materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations in a matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the Government of the United States, that is, during a voluntary interview with a special agent of the United States Secret Service and a special agent of the (FBI).”
Authorities accuse Herbo of lying about his connection with Antonio Strong, an alleged friend and business partner of the rapper. According to the prosecutor, Herbo told a federal investigator that he never gave Strong money or got anything of worth from him and that he had no direct correlation with him.
The FBI, on the other hand, asserts that Herbo has known Strong since 2016 and has kept in touch with him frequently. Herbo is said to have given Strong money in return for “private jet charters, luxury accommodations, and exotic car rentals,” according to the FBI. As a result, a motion has been filed to connect Herbo’s claims to the initial fraud lawsuit, which Herbo has signed.
In August, G Herbo will appear in court to defend himself against allegations arising from the suspected elaborate fraud ring.
