Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones was reportedly sentenced to 135 months (or 11.25 years) in federal prison.
Complex reports Judge Paul Engelmayer handed down the decision on Thursday (October 16) during a hearing at Manhattan’s Thurgood Marshall Courthouse. Upon completion of his sentence, Mel will also have five years of probation and have to pay $10,000 in forfeiture.
The government says Mel had reached “Godfather” status among the “street lineup” of Nine Trey. He also part of Jim Jones’ Byrdgang rap collective and is featured on several Dipset tracks.
During Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack’s trial last month, The Diplomats MC was identified as “Individual-1” during an wiretapped phone call with Mel. During the conversation, Mel said 6ix9ine had to be “super-violated” for disavowing the gang when speaking with The Breakfast Club last November.
In April, Mel pleaded guilty to racketeering and narcotics offenses for being a part of Nine Trey and transporting heroin and fentanyl. Last November, Mel sold heroin to an undercover New York Police Department officer and he was arrested shortly after.
Mel reportedly wrote a letter to Judge Engelmayer asking for a “second chance” prior to his sentencing hearing. He also revealed he became a member of the United Blood Nation — the parent organization of Nine Trey — at 15 years old because of the older men in his neighborhood who were “thugs off the corner … involved in illegal activities like drugs and violence.”
The first defendant in the 6ix9ine federal racketeering case, Jesnel “Ish” Butler, was sentenced to 60 months in July. 6ix9ine is expected to be sentenced on December 18. Due to his cooperation with the federal government, he could be out as early as the top of 2020.
Damn Jim Jones! Wow, this may put him on thin ice! Shit!
Wait, are they saying Individual-1 is Jim Jones, or some other Diplomat member? Kinda confusing there.
Mel Murda is the wackest rapper of all time. Wish they woulda gave him 100 years.
“The Diplomats MC was identified as “Individual-1” during an wiretapped phone call with Mel.” Jim is individual 1
Im so proud of Danny putting these criminals in prison.
Was he the guy who was on the Brydgang Money song?
How long till they lock up Jimmy. Why is he out here walking around? Informant?
And SnitchNine gonna get his own Snitchumentary Series and Movie Deal while the guys he told on rot in prison. The hell is wrong with this generation. The game is a messed up. What’s next, Producers who don’t produce records just comment on random BS on social media…smh…. sounds familiar… doesn’t it
A criminal got put in jail, what’s so hard to understand? You yards and your kiddy codes.
Sorry but Snitchin still ain’t the way. Karma. What comes around goes around. Everything comes full circle. With snitches, it typically does but it ends badly.
The Don’t Snitch movement was started by criminals who went to prison and don’t want to be told on by convincing everyone else that it’s a bad thing to do. Why on earth anyone would want to listen to criminals? They are not the smartest people to listen to. According to the reports Tekashi was kidnapped his family was threatened etc what was he supposed to do protect the people who did it to him? Grab a gun and seek vengeance? Throw away his life? This message board does not have the smartest people on it. Maybe a few criminals commenting.
so we are goin to gloss over that he was also involved in numerous aspects of the criminal organization also dealing drugs and putting hits on other people… as he was looking at 47 plus years… had he not been on trail for those charges, he wouldn’t have turn state… if you goin tell the story .. tell it right
If Jim Jones was an Informant he would have been listed as Informant 1, like how 69 is called informant 2. But instead he is called Individual 1. The feds could be looking into him as well. If 69 is informant 2, I curious to know who informant 1 is. I think it might have been his driver
