The government had their hooks in the Nine Treys long before Tekashi 6ix9ine flipped.
6ix9ine's driver Jorge Rivera, who was chauffeuring 6ix9ine the night he was allegedly kidnapped and robbed by Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack, had been working for the Feds since being picked up by ICE last summer. He testified on what went down today in the trial of Harv and Nuke.
AUSA: Mr. Rivera, I want to switch gears now. What is your immigration status? Did they come a time you were arrested by ICE?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
Rivera: Yes
Q: While you were detained, did you speak with law enforcement about cooperating?
A: Yes.
AUSA: Mr. Rivera, when you were released, did you start driving for Mr. Hernandez again?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
A: Yes.
Q: As a confidential informant?
Judge Engelmayer to the jury: why don't you stretch you legs while we're taking a brief break.
After sidebar, AUSA: "Mr Rivera, on July 22, 2018, was there a camera installed in that Chevrolet Tahoe?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
A: Yes.
Q Was it recording?
A: Yes.
Again, Exhibit 604: https://t.co/9EXqlr6suH
AUSA: It's paused at 1 minute seconds, for the record. Mr Rivera, what did you just tell Mr. Hernandez?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
A: That our car was hit from behind...
Q: And why were you going to get them do?
Judge Engelmayer: why did the camera get more narrow in its view?
AUSA: Mr. Rivera, did you have two cameras installed in the car?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
A: Yes. One is always pointed ahead. Remember, I used to work for a car service. My customers, they were always recorded.
AUSA: After you walked back to the car, where did he point the gun at you?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
Rivera: At my head.
Now they are again playing the video of the car jacking:
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
"Get the f*ck out of the car."
And #6ix9ine telling Harv, I always treated you right.https://t.co/9EXqlr6suH
Now AUSA asks Rivera: Did you make a recording on July 26, 2018 of Mr. Hernandez and Shotti?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
A: Yes.
AUSA: Mr Rivera, what is it your understanding the government will do in exchange for your cooperation?
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 23, 2019
Rivera: They'll give me a letter, saying all the good as well as the bad things, that I have done.
Note: So #6ix9ine's driver Jorge Rivera gets 5K1 letter too
Rivera had been facing 17 to life on various crimes but should be getting a much-reduced sentence for his cooperation.
In addition to having Rivera, there are now rumors the Feds got to Nine Trey and "retired rapper" Jim Jones.
