Tekashi69 Getting witness protection, hopefully disappearing soon

That spunky shithead, Tekashi 69, was facing a MINIMUM of 46 years and a max of life for crazy list of charges, including racketeering, conspiracy, firearms offenses, narcotics trafficking and other crimes.

Now it’s looking like he’ll get way less after cutting a deal with feds, and possibly get released at some point only to be stashed away in Boise or Fargo.

“It is understood that the defendant’s cooperation is likely to reveal the activities of individuals and that witness protection may be required at a later date.” It sounds like that may be necessary, because 69’s testimony implicates hardened criminals accused of extremely violent crimes. 

It’s ultimately up to the judge to determine sentence, but the prosecutors say if Tekashi keeps talking, he’ll get a gigantic break, “should the defendant successfully cooperate, the government agrees that it will file at the time of sentencing a motion … for a sentence below any mandatory minimum.” 

It’s unclear how much time prosecutors will ask for, but it appears the number of years may be in the teens … maybe even less.
