A federal jury accusation has returned this week against the accused leader of the Eugene Big U band Henley revealed new details about the scope of his alleged “Mafia Organization” and the celebrities that were entangled in it.
Henley, who helped to launch Nipsey Husl’s career, had previously been charged with a 107 -page criminal complaint and eventually arrested last week. The accusation of 43 units returned on Wednesday means that a big jury believes there is sufficient evidence to blame Henley.
The big jury accused the 58 -year -old Henley of charges, including fraud, robbery, extortion, tax evasion, assignment of donations to his charity, which receives public money and conducts a racketeering for a conspiracy in which he has killed an ambitious rapper, according to the US law firm in LA,
Henley’s lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“As the prosecution claims, Henley leads a criminal endeavor whose behavior ranges from murder to complex fraud, including theft by taxpayers and charity,” said US acting ATI. Joseph McNal. “The eradication of bands and organized crime is the main priority of the Ministry of Justice.”
Before turning, Henley made videos denying the accusations against him, saying, “I did nothing.”
“I was nothing but help for our community,” Henley said in the videos. “This is the cost of being black and trying to help someone, try to help your community and do what you can. It’s just guilty because someone else doesn’t like you.”
In the indictment, prosecutors refer to these videos, calling them “an attempt to poison the jurors’ pool. They also accused Henley of running away from law enforcement and prevented the investigation.

According to the charge, Henley’s phones stopped reporting location data around 12:30 on March 19, hours before the law enforcement agencies would make arrests tied to the case. Before claiming to have escaped from his home in South LA, authorities said Henley had left a summons related to a table investigation near Seattle Marinrs, a sports team adopted by the members of the Rollin ’60’s neighborhood as a symbol of the band.
Federal authorities said Henley was a recognized member and “original gangster” or “OG” on the Rollin ’60. More than a dozen alleged members or Crypse associates of Rollin from the 60s – including Henley – have been accused of scattered criminal case.
The prosecution further expanded on Henley’s alleged adhesion to LA and the alleged casualties that “were required to” check “with Henley to receive” protection “before arriving in the city.
According to the prosecution, Henley recorded a video of a movie team in Hyde Park around 2017 and told the record: “Every time you want to make movies in the hood, just check it … but if you don’t check it out, we’ll check all your equipment well.”
This video has also made circles on social media in recent days.
The prosecution also provided more information about the circumstances surrounding Las Vegas’s murder of Reishaun Williams, an ambitious rapper. Authorities accused Henley of abduction and fatal shooting of Williams in the face and left his body in the desert in Las Vegas in 2021.
According to prosecutors, Henley arranged Williams to record music in a studio owned by a Grammy winner in Las Vegas. This producer, identified as a witness-2 in the criminal appeal, told the authorities that Henley was using his studio for free “based on the dynamics of fear and power imposed on witness-2 by the great U enterprise for years.”
In a statement filed in the complaint, Andrew Rose, a special agent at the FBI, said that before Williams’ death, the young rapper recorded a song on the disc, which Rose believed was for Henley.
In addition, according to the prosecution, Henley claims to have arranged a coonitist to raise illegal debt in November 2022 by the current NBA All-Star player, which suggests that he owes $ 3 million to a large UNTERPRISE associate.
Henley, in numerous eavesdropping calls, claims to have told him by sending a coonor to Minnesota to raise several hundred thousand dollars on behalf of someone he cited as “Jewish Boy.” Henley is said to have taken part of a debt due to a fee for collecting it.
The indictment also included details of the eavesdropping calls, in which Henley claims to be “greater” than Nipsey Husl and that he disciplined Husl before the rapper murder in 2019.
At HIP Hop Uncovered, a six -piece documentary series, for which Henley was an executive producer, he said Husl made a disco song for him after the two fell over music equipment.

“I’m not a rapper, I’m scrap,” Henley said.
In the show, Henley said he tried to take Husl to get “disciplined”, but Husl’s brother intervened and would not let him go. According to the complaint, the LAPD reports documented that the violence broke out and when the police arrived at the scene, there was also a fired weapon.
Henley said he and Husl spoke tonight, “and it has never been nothing after that.”
In 2023, Eric Holder, Jr., was sentenced to at least 60 years in prison for killing Husl.
Although social media publications have tried to blame Henley for Husl’s death, authorities did not associate him with the murder. Hip Hop revealed also refers to the theories of conspiracy, which Henley called “the dumb – in the world.”
“All these oddities pop out of nothing with different stories to sell it,” Henley said.
During a call in January 2023, Henley confirmed that he did not fight Husl, according to the prosecution. He is said to have added that no one can “bend” with him because if they do, “I kill him.
Henley is in the federal arrest and his contract is scheduled for April 8. His hearing for detention is scheduled for April 10.
They are also charged with the prosecution are Sylvester Robinson, 59, also known as the Nortrridge Wei; Mark Martin, 50, also known as the Bear Nail, from the Beverliv region in Los Angeles; Termaine Ashley Williams, 42, also known as Luce Cannon, by Las Vegas; Armani Aflleje, 38, also known as “Mani” from the Koreatown neighborhood in Los Angeles; Fredrik Blanton -Jr., 43, from South Los Angeles; and Tiffany Shanrika Hines, 51, from Job Linda.
