The Feds calling YSL a Criminal Gang.. indicted 28 of them on RICO charges and basically say they killed someone in 2015 and claim Young Thug rented the car that the killers drove to do the murder. This is serious. wow.

Update: Young Thug was also accused of trying to have rapper YFN Lucci killed.
Prosecutors claiming that Young Thug had dudes in Fulton County jail tryna Kill YFN Lucci.. these allegations in the indictment are wild.
