Perspective
In 2018, two private jets traced back to Ralo were searched by the police and found to contain 964 pounds of marijuana (worth $1,840,000, according to prosecutors), illegal at the state and federal level in Georgia.[13] This would lead to him being arrested in April 2018 for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute at least a kilogram of marijuana.[14] Additionally, Ralo's record label, Famerica Records, was alleged of a being a front business for the gang "Famerica" with Ralo claimed as the leader, so Ralo was also charged with money laundering and racketeering.[13][14] Ralo owned an apartment complex, which he referred to as "Lil Pakistan" and it was raided by police following the arrest.[15] When Ralo was first arrested, he was denied bond because the judge believed he was still running a drug empire behind bars.[16] In July 2020, Ralo would successfully appeal this and he posted a $250,000 bond, before it was revoked in December after the judge found out Ralo was using his Apple Watch to arrange drug deals during his time in jail.[17][18] Ralo refused to testify in court,[19] but in March 2022, he was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison and five years of supervised release after pleading guilty to multiple charges.[14][20] His sentence was reduced to 20 months due to serving 4 years in jail, having good behavior, and 1 year of his sentence being replaced by time in a halfway house.[21][22] He was released in November 2023.[22]
