20 years for buying fake Instagram followers. Nobody wants to just be a regular dude. Everyone needs at least 20k Instagram followers and a hustle that makes them seem more important than they are. Clout chasing at its most extreme. Be an SEO specialist and commit federal wire fraud to buy fake social media followers, brehs.

How is it possible for this guy to buy bILLBOARD all over the country and nobody from his job saw it and said something? :dahell:

Why would they. His whole point made it seem like other companies were buying them. I don't care about my coworkers like that.

I see your point. But most people on jobs gossip. So, if one guy working a regular job is out there moving like a superstar, I expect someone who saw it to bring it as a topic in the company. It's not like the guy was hiding. And it should also have raised eyebrows since the guy had a company's card. I don't know. It seems weird to me. maybe he was just "lucky", till now...

Chad Focus did the most for the sake of his music career and now he's facing up to 20 years in prison. According to Pitchfork, the Baltimore singer's one hit track, “Dance With Me,” landed on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart last year but he wanted more. Chad was employed as an SEO specialist at an unnamed company and allegedly used the company card to spend $4.1 million in unauthorized purchases.

He's being charged for "federal charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft" and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Between January 2015 and August 2018, Arrington allegedly used company money to promote his music, purchase audio equipment, artificially increase plays on Spotify and other streaming services, purchase followers and views for his social media platforms, and yes, purchase Chad Focus billboards throughout the country.

Chad is also being accused of using the company card to invest in a bike-sharing business to the tune of $250,000. The publication details how there are two more suspects who helped Chad falsify the company's credit card statements as well as falsifying the signature of an accountant.

I know plenty of regular 9-5 brothers who have beautiful wives. What are you talking about? There's a particular segment of our society that wants a specific type of woman who is attracted to "ballers" and those whose image gives the impression that they're important. If that kind of woman attracts you, cool, so be it. But don't act like regular brothers can't wife up beautiful shorties. :francis:

He was charged federally with 4 counts of wire fraud, theft, forgery.

That’s a mandatory minimum of 2 years on each count. So he will 100% do 8 years.. then add in the excessive amount he stole. Add another 4 years.

10 years he will do out of the 12..

His life is in effect, over.
