Under a deal with prosecutors, the 27-year-old Chicago rapper, whose real name is Herbert Wright III, entered a guilty plea in federal court in Springfield, Massachusetts, to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and making false statements. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed several counts of aggravated identity theft. He also agreed to forfeit nearly $140,000, the amount he benefited from what prosecutors have said was a $1.5 million scheme that involved several other people. «Mr. Wright used stolen account information as his very own unlimited funding source, using victims' payment cards to finance an extravagant lifestyle and advance his career,» acting U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy said in a statement.

At 50 years old, Bell has been at the helm for five years and is currently in the final year of his previous contract. Last season was challenging for the Reds, as they endured 100 losses. However, this year has been a different story, with an impressive resurgence driven by a dynamic young core. The team's current record of 56-48 puts them in a competitive position, just 1½ games behind the first place in the National League Central division. If they manage to outperform the Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs, they would accomplish a historic feat — becoming the first team in major league history to go from triple-digit losses to a division title in consecutive seasons.
