Chad Arrington also known by Chad Focus has been indicted for allegedly using a company issued credit card from his 9-5 to fund his rap career. The Baltimore rapper was mostly unknown before the news broke about him purchasing over $4.1 million on a company credit card. Arrington is facing conspiracy, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft charges that may land him in prison for 20 years according to Pitchfork.

The 31-year-old reportedly worked as a Search Engine Optimization specialist for several years at investment publisher Money Map Press, which gave him access to the American Express card according to Baltimore Fish Bowl.

Prosecutors claim Arrington used the funds to promote his music and purchase fake music streams and social media followers. Some of the money is alleged to have gone to a New York City billboard.

Arrington allegedly avoided detection by faking credit card statements and forging signatures of supervisors within the company.
