Exposing the Truth: Who is Gil Negrete?

Gil Negrete resides in Laveen, Arizona, on a property owned by his trust, Girl Dad Living Trust. He is married to Trina Negrete and is a father of two girls. He is a father involved in various legal issues beyond his professional life. His social media presence, including LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, reflects his attempts to maintain a public image while concealing his misconduct.

Negrete has faced several criminal charges, including Class 3 Felony of Money Laundering and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering. In April 2011, he facilitated the purchase of multiple cashier’s checks under $10,000 to avoid detection while posting bond for a known drug trafficker. Despite initially pleading not guilty, he later entered a plea agreement, admitting to lesser charges.

According to the Indictment, the Defendants were charged with Class 3 Felony charges of Money Laundering and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering. The filings indicate that the Subject, in April 2011, assisted the co-Defendants to obtain multiple cashier’s checks to be used to post a $75,000 Bond for the Subject’s Client, Brian Escobedo, who was the alleged head of a drug-trafficking organization. Additionally, the checks were allegedly obtained from various banks in Phoenix and were all for under $10,000, which is under the banks’ threshold for reporting to government agencies.  Gil also allegedly requested that the normal banking fees for the checks be waived, and when that request was denied, “he used his own Chase Bank account to facilitate the purchase of the checks.” According to the investigation report by the Phoenix Police Department, Gil Negrete and his co-conspirators “had the ability to make one banking transaction and purchase one cashier’s check … however, this would have generated a currency transaction report that would have in turn made law enforcement aware of the transaction.” Gil Negrete initially pled “Not Guilty” to both charges. On 09/25, 2012, he entered into a Plea Agreement and agreed to plead Guilty to Facilitation to Commit Money Laundering (a Class 6 undesignated felony) and the Money Laundering charge was dismissed. The State recommended that the subject pay a $7,500 fine and perform 200 hours of community service. On 12/04/2012, Gil Negrete was put on Unsupervised Probation for one year and required to complete 200 hours of community service, and he was fined $20 for a Probation Surcharge and $65 a month for a Probation Service Fee. On 09/19/2013, Gil Negrete petitioned for early termination of his Probation on the grounds that he served over half of the Probation sentence and completed all Community Service hours.
