By Ismael AbduSalaam

Geto Boys member Willie D has pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of wire fraud.

The Houston emcee was arrested in May for allegedly running an international iPhone scam.

 

Authorities claim that Willie D, real name William James Dennis, would conduct the scam through eBay by having foreign consumers make bulk purchases.

 

Once the electric wire transfer was complete, the victims were sent phony tracking numbers on packages that never arrived.

 

The rapper remains free after posting bond in May.

 

Under his release terms, the Houston native was required to surrender his passport and cannot travel beyond Harris County, Texas.

 

Willie’s internet privileges were also revoked; despite attorney Stanley Schneider initially arguing that his client needed internet access to manage his Hip-Hop career.

 

Willie D will appear in court for a pre-trial hearing on July 27, where jury selections are also scheduled to take place.

 

If convicted, the rapper faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.

 

At press time, Willie D could not be reached for comment.

@hot97  - in a not guilty plea you have the possibility of the outcome going in your favor .....pleading guilty your admitting you did the shit & more less seeking leniency (spellcheck) from a judge/jury..... who more than likely is gonna max you  out. that's not traffic court that man is faceing federal charges...id rather take my chances fighting the case too.

@shortnsimple

awwready that tape was the shit for that time frame. here go a verse from bald headedhoes. i still laugh at some of the shit he said.

What the fuck is goin on in this god damn world
What are you bitch a boy or a girl?
I can't tell cause your shit on the sides is gone
You remind me of that monkey lookin bitch Grace Jones
Fucked up is how you look to Willie D
I just gotta have a bitch that has more hair than me
Some try to cover up by weavin it through
You ain't foolin nobody
We know your bald headed too

Chorus:
Bald Head Hoes
Whatcha see D, w-w-w-whatcha see D
I see some bald headed hoes
Bald Head Hoes
Whatcha see D, w-w-w-whatcha see D
I see some bald headed hoes

Willie D was involved with the morgage fraud back before the housing market crashed... I KNOW FOR A FACT......so the inevitable has happened.  Some people never learn to quit hustlin'.  He made tons of money then, with the morgage fraud thing, but didn't learn when to get out.  Hasn't learn and is still continually ripping folks off.  GREED=DOWNFALL!!

I still think, and hope, that there's more to this story. I know that I don't know him personally, but I just can't help but feel that a man of his intelligence and intellect would get caught up in this shit. But even if he is guilty, he didn't kill or physically hurt anyone. Let him pay restitution and be out on probation. If they just lock him up, the victims, and the state of Texas, won't get any money out of him. And at the end of the day, that's all anyone cares about. If he not out to perform / tour, he can't earn any money and in the end everyone involved loses. Even if I was one of the people he allegedlly scammed, I would just want my money back. I think the rap community needs to get behind him, especially in Houston. So far the only person I've seen support him is Z-Ro. I think he threw some kind of benefit concert. And anyone on this site who has had any experience with the backward-ass American "justice" system, like myself, knows that the majority of the time pleading guilty to a crime, whether you did it or not, is not always a good move. It's a game and more often than not, guilt or innocense is irrelevant. I just hope it doesn't turn into a C-Bo / C-Murder type situation where they try to use his lyrics against him.

==========================================
Bro enlighten us: how the fuck you "know for a fact" Willie D was involved in mortgage fraud??? Did you see the brotha do it? Did he rip you or your people off? Or are you just throwing some speculative shit out there on that brotha? SMH....

By the way the American system of commerce is solely based on greed ie...capitalism!

Hey Guys, I used to sell apple ipods on Ebay. I had a company from china dropshipping my products for me. Once I sold the ipod. They was suppose to ship the product. Well, it was just my luck that they did not send my customers shit. They sent them fake tracking numbers. I had to refund them the money. I think thats what happened to willie d. He just did not pay them back.

Well if you must know, he almost ripped me off, but I didn't get involved with it.   He did however, get some people that i know. So, yes, like i said,"I KNOW FOR A FACT!" that Willie D. is involved with multiple frauds.  He did get lucky back then and didn't get caught up but look like his luck run out.

GREED=DOWNFALL!!!

He should have quit while he was ahead, and trust me... he was ahead.
