Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, and other YSL members await trial on racketeering and gang-related charges. Several of their co-defendants took plea deals in the RICO case. Gunna, Lil Duke, Slimelife Shawty and YSL co-founder Walter Murphy were released from jail after accepting plea deals. Young Thug's brother Unfoonk also agreed to a plea deal. Young Thug has remained in jail since his May arrest when he was indicted for conspiracy to violate Georgia's RICO Act and participation in a criminal street gang. Prosecutors claim Young Thug's YSL Records served as the front for a dangerous street gang.
