Sixteenth and several of his associates were arrested in New York City on November 18 for federal criminal charges. According to the indictment under eight counts, 6ix9ine and the other defendants have "participated in the operation and management" of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The indictment accuses gang members of murder, robbery, assault, drug sales, and so on. Two of the charges against 6ix9ine are punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Before his arrest, 6ix9ine had planned to release his new album DUMMY BOY November 23. After the arrest, the Tekashi team postponed the publication of the disc "due to circumstances beyond our control". This week-end, DUMMY BOY was leaked after the temporary sale of the album as a digital download on the rapper's online store.
