Much of what the gangs did was possible because of Mr. Williams’s money, officials said. For acts of violence, Mr. Williams would give rewards of cash, features in his music videos and the promise of music contracts, prosecutors said.
“With such a large following, individuals are looking to impress them,” said Jason Savino, the head of the Police Department’s Gun Violence Suppression Division, adding, “They were idolized by so many and feared by so many more.”

"Police say he controlled the streets even though he was locked down.

"Let's talk about Sheff, if Sheff said something, it happened. A simple text ‘ we gotta get a big one’ that simple text created a war, you're talking about an individual that sends out a text that instantly starts a gang war."

— Jason Savino, NYPD Chief of Gun Violence

140 MURDERS?!?

No

Police say a lot of dumb s*** especially NYPD lmao sheff is not the leader of that s***.. they stupid “we gotta get a big one” could mean anything that’s why i tell niggas from the city if you get on get the f*** outta here don’t stay

nah but you gotta remember beating someone up, possessing any firearm or weapon, even sending a text message, if they can prove you did it in furtherance of a violent gang, even having a chain and posting it on ig could probably be a charge.
any petty crimes that anyone involved was doing is gonna get gang enhancements attached.

"Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez says the gang members used more than 30 guns to threaten or eliminate their rivals.

The DA says charges include murder, attempted murder, weapons possession and other crimes.

In total, Gonzalez says there was one murder, four attempted murders, and 12 non-fatal shootings.

The indictment covers 27 alleged acts of violence, including 12 shootings.

"The senseless gun violence, allegedly committed by these defendants, terrorized our neighbors for years and left more than a dozen people with serious injuries. It is distressing to know that some of the violence was allegedly fueled by a young man who used money he made from a successful music career to allegedly pay for and encourage acts of violence," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.
