The government's investigation the Nine Treys way preceded Tekashi 6ix9ine.
The Feds had their hooks in the set since at least November 2013 when they busted Kristian "CEO Kris" Cruz. Kris provided the Nine Treys with heroin from China and turned informant shortly after his arrest.
CEO Kris testified yesterday in the trial Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack and Anthony "Harv" Ellison.
Typing fast, as best as can make out: ""On November 22, 2013, Defendant Kristian Cruz plead guilty to one count Access Device Fraud… one count conspiracy… and one count Aggravated Identity Theft.
The FBI identified 6 co-conspirators in that case. 1/2

…FBI was able to identify victims who suffered cumulative losses $212,000… This is part a larger conspiracy that involved losses $2.2 million, however it was agreed that that would not be considered in this] plea agreement and under this memorandum."
