Playboi Carti Leaker, ‘King Bob,’ Facing 160 Years in Prison
19-year-old Noah Urban from Palm Coast, Florida, is facing federal charges for allegedly swindling $800,000 from five victims between August 2022 and March 2023. Urban, also known as "King Bob," has gained notoriety as a music 'leaker' on social media, sharing unreleased tracks from artists like Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, and Ariana Grande.
Despite his music-related side hustle, the charges against Urban are unrelated, focusing on his involvement in a scheme where he stole personal information to control victims' cryptocurrency accounts using a method known as SIM swapping.
If convicted, Urban could face up to 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud and a mandatory minimum of 2 years for aggravated identity offenses. Urban's mugshot has been widely circulated on social media, with thousands of users labeling him as a well-known music 'leaker' under the alias King Bob.
