During his bail hearing, Shotti of Treway claimed he only had 60K in his bank account.

But it looks like that's not true.

Sources tell the Daily Beast that Shotti stole $2.2 million from 6ix9ine, and that's why 6ix9ine angrily ditched Shotti as his manager days before the Feds arrested both of them on six RICO and gun charges.

As the source tells it, Tekashi became aware of the alleged theft when he was contacted by a promoter for a recent tour. Police say the promoter told Tekashi that he just wanted to report directly to the rapper how much money he was supposed to have received. The promoter said Shotti should have passed on $2.5 million. Shotti is said to have given Tekashi only $300,000.

The attorney who represented Shotti at the initial hearing could not be reached for comment. The lawyer who continues to represent Tekashi did not respond to a request for comment.

The Feds also have wiretaps of members of 6ix9ine's former Treway set discussing their intention to do the troll rapper harm. Which is probably why on Wednesday Tekashi was moved to a new jail that has no gang members and often houses government witnesses.
