Guerilla Black Arrested For $150,000 Credit Card Scheme
Guerilla Black "real name Charles Tony Williamson " was arrested on a 22-count indictment for buying stolen credit card numbers in bulk.
Prosecutors are claiming that Williamson received at least 27,257 stolen credit card numbers and stole at least $150,000 through them.
"Today's arrest shows that criminals cannot hide in cyberspace. We will prosecute all parts of the criminal gang " regardless of where they may be," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in a press release. "I commend the cyber investigators of the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force for making sure that all the participants " from the hackers to the end purchasers of stolen data " are held accountable."
Guerilla Black debutted in 2004, the same year in which he released his album, Guerilla City, featuring Beenie Man, Mario Winans, Jazze Pha and the late Nate Dogg.
He's been relatively quiet on the music front since now.
