A complete timeline of Young Thug and Gunna’s YSL RICO cases

thefader.com:

In the early 2010s, Jeffrey Lamar Williams — the Atlanta rapper known as Young Thug — began building an empire. He founded the YSL collective out of his home in the Jonesboro South projects, enlisting friends, family members, and acquaintances.

To his fans around the world, Young Stoner Life is the record label that released his own music, as well as that of his peers and protégés — the most successful being Sergio Kitchens (a.k.a.

Gunna). But Georgia state prosecutors allege that Young Slime Life, a group they refer to in court documents as a “criminal street gang,” is something far more sinister.

Last spring, Thug, Gunna, and 26 other alleged members of Young Slime Life were named in a massive, 56-count indictment spearheaded by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. (Willis, incidentally, has also led the charge in Georgia’s election fraud indictment of Donald Trump and his alleged co-conspirators.) They’ve been charged with counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeering and Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act — a state-level version of national legislation originally enacted in the 1970s as a way to prosecute organized and corporate crime.
