Report: Young Thug is Main Target of RICO Investigation & Won't Be Given Plea Deal

At least four YSL members, Gunna included, have taken plea deals in Fulton County's RICO case against Young Thug's crew that allowed them to come home with time served.

Young Thug doesn't have that option.

Reporter George Chidi, who is covering the trial, broke down why Thug will not be able to plea his way out of this one.

"People who are suggesting some kind of agreement where Thug instructed other YSL gang members to plead out so he can take the charges are missing the point. Thug doesn't have leverage. Also, if Thug and Brian Steel go down, they will go down fighting," Chidi typed on Twitter. "If the gang targeted someone for shooting, who pulled the trigger is less important to Willis' office than who turned on the green light. I'm rather surprised at the deals that have been made, but in that context it makes sense. The DA's office says Thug was the shot caller. My read here is that the DA will deal out (almost) everyone else if it means improving their chances of convicting Young Thug.  The operating philosophy as described to me by an ADA is to ask "absent this person, would this crime still happen?" If the answer is yes, cut a deal.  For everyone talking about how Young Thug is "standing strong" by not taking a plea agreement: the district attorney's office isn't offering Jeffery Williams any deal that doesn't leave him in prison forever. He's the target of this case. Everyone else is optional.

Doesn't sound good for Thug.
