As Tekashi 6ix9ine’s sentencing date inches closer, the speculation surrounding the exact amount of prison time he’ll actually receive is running rampant.
New York attorney Moe Gangat, who has been following the case closely for months, shared an Instagram post last week indicating he’d seen the legal paperwork suggesting the polarizing rap figure will be out of federal prison on Wednesday (December 18).
“Look for Tekashi to get out this Wednesday, December 18 with a sentence of time served,” he says in the video clip. “When it’s all said and done, he’s likely to have served just under one year in federal prison. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
“The way federal sentencing works is the government tells the judge what sentence the person should get. Here, the government hasn’t asked for any sentence. When the government doesn’t ask for a sentence, what they’re saying is time served, no sentence.”
But according to paperwork obtained by The Blast, prosecutors in 6ix9ine’s case agree with the New York probation department in their calculation of the minimum sentence for his crime, meaning he’s still facing 37 years.
This grossly contradicts what Gangat explained toward the end of the previous video clip.
“In the Southern District of New York, judges almost always go with the recommendation of the probation department, especially when the probation department and the defense attorneys are both recommending the same thing,” he explained. “Here, the probation department and 6ix9ine’s defense lawyers both say time served. There’s absolutely no reason the judge will give anything other than time served.”
In a follow-up video, Gangat explained why it’s “not likely” 6ix9ine will be locked up for decades.
“On the one side is the government and they’re there to prosecute crimes. On the other side is the defense attorney who’s there to defend the accused of crimes. The judge is supposed to act as a neutral arbitrator to figure out who has the better argument, then make a decision. In this case, the government is not asking for a sentence.
“The probation department, also part of the government, is recommending time served. The defense attorneys are also recommending time served. So it would take something really extreme, really something unprecedented to give anything other than time served.
6ix9ine has been cooperating with the federal government since his November 2018 arrest. As a result, United States Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman officially recommended his sentence be significantly reduced earlier this month, explaining he was crucial to the case.
“[Daniel] Hernandez provided the Government with critical insight into the structure and organization of Nine Trey, identified the gang’s key players, and described acts of violence that he personally witnessed or that he heard about from other Nine Trey members,” Berman wrote. “Hernandez testified in the face of threats of safety to him and his family.”
On Sunday (December 15), Gangat posted two new Instagram videos, warning his roughly 65,000 followers of the click-bait stories currently making the rounds based on his previous videos.
In the most recent clips, he clarifies his initial statements and explains why there’s technically still a chance 6ix9ine could get 37 years behind bars but likely won’t.
Check them out below.
Is he done or is he finished?
Snitchin ain’t easy
Seriously! I’d rather just have the gangsters go around killing black people with guns and heroin still! So sad…
The scary thing is that this bottom feeder will get out and attempt to make whatever type of garbage that he makes and people from generation are gonna rock with it.
Wow d.x really love using the word “polarizing” lol. The must have been told by management to use that word more frequently or some shit haha
The proper headline should read “Is 6ix9ine getting murdered in witness protection or in protective custody?”
Das my boi right there he out soon #FreeTekashi
It’s fucked up that he snitches of black killers using guns and heroin! It’s messed up! He shouldn’t have done that, and we all agree that black murderers and drug dealers destroying neighborhoods shouldn’t be in jail! They should stay on the streets, killing black men. Stop snitching on black killers! Let them do the governments work for them…
Message!!!
Thanks! I fully understand no snitching, as if you are getting involved in criminal activity, you should take the fall alone. However, nobody can deny that dismantling this gang is bad for the communities. It’s a great thing. Glorifying gang culture sucks. So, as a whole, snitching will make the communities a better place, mostly for black Americans, as black Americans are the most likely to be victimized by gangsters. We have to end this gangster culture! Especially the gangster culture that targets innocent people… That’s just terrible, kind of like MS13 thugs. Gang on gang crime is one thing, but making innocent people victims is pure evil.
take the dude to prison and lets all be done with this shit, please
He’s in prison retard already retard… he’s about to be released for snitchin.
Actually he’s in a halfway house now.
Imagine if hiphop fans disliked every snitch in rap music? Well, all your too 5s wouldn’t be in your top 5 anymore haha. They are nearly all snitches. Either that, or studio gangsters who live in whiter communities than 99% of suburbs. It’s like the Obamas living in a location with only 3% black population.
My business associates Nick Cannon and Ray J have signed Tekashi Sixnine to the new Death Row Records and my son Suge Knight Jr will be executive producing his new album!
He gonna have a bunch of micromanaged 9 to 5ers in an outrage because they’re tight their unions arent snitching because of side deals and backdoor promotions. LOL…. Believe in Yah the way y’all believe in rappers, cornballs
Yah Momma!
Realest comment on here
Throw the book at this beaner
Hey stupid journalist he’s not getting 37 years you clueless buffoon Smh
Hopefully he will get out soon and will be murdered on the first corner. Fuck this pedo clown.
I hate him for being a pedo, but wishing murder on anyone isn’t good. The cycle will never end… You think him getting murdered would be the end? Nope. Stop the violence. Tekashi belongs in Jail, not a grave.
He might get a more lenient sentence, but he still gettin 3-7 I’m callin it now
