Three Phoenix residents have been indicted by a State Grand Jury on charges that include sex trafficking, conspiracy, illegal conducting of an enterprise, participation in a criminal street gang and criminal syndicate, money laundering, fraudulent schemes, and pandering. The announcement was made by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.
The defendants—Steven Christopher Moore, Giovantea Hendrix, and Keith Wilson—are accused of operating as members of the Money Dream Team (MDT) and the West Side City Crips street gang from September 2018 through June 2025. According to the indictment, they allegedly trafficked two adult women, laundered proceeds from criminal activity, and engaged in multiple fraud schemes.
Keith Wilson faces additional charges for allegedly defrauding the federal Paycheck Protection Program and Local First Arizona. He also faces a pandering charge related to conduct alleged to have occurred as recently as February 2025.
The case has been filed in Maricopa County Superior Court under case number CR: 2026-006155. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury.
The Arizona Attorney General’s Office serves as the state’s primary legal entity with statewide responsibilities for legal and protective services. It addresses issues such as elder abuse, civil rights violations, unsolved crimes through its cold case unit, and participates in federal lawsuits and initiatives like fair housing and social media accountability measures. Kris Mayes is Arizona’s 27th attorney general and is the first mother to hold this position.
