🚨 The Gutter Report: Tek Money Injured in Sing Sing Stabbing as Release Timeline Approaches

Dec 12

Sources confirm serious prison incident involving a highly respected Staten Island figure nearing the end of his sentence

Ossining, NY — Multiple sources have confirmed that William “Tek Money” Butts, a widely respected and influential figure from Staten Island, was injured in a stabbing incident inside Sing Sing Correctional Facility within the last 24 hours.

The incident has not yet been publicly addressed by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), which is common in cases involving internal prison violence. Still, news of the incident has spread quickly and has drawn serious concern across Staten Island, where Tek Money’s name carries long-standing weight and respect.

Confirmation came after direct communication with Tek Money’s wife, who responded to an inquiry early this morning by saying:

“Right now all we need are prayers.”

Additional confirmation was provided through a call received from inside Sing Sing, relaying details of the incident prior to family acknowledgment.

According to official DOCCS records, Tek Money has been incarcerated since 2007, is parole eligible, and has an earliest release window in 2026, with a maximum expiration date also set for 2026.

However, multiple sources familiar with his case say Tek Money was expected to be released within the next month or so due to good-time credits and completion of required programs. At this time, it remains unclear how the reported injury may affect that anticipated release timeline, particularly if medical treatment or administrative review is involved.

Tek Money has long been regarded as a significant and respected presence in Staten Island, and concern surrounding the incident is heightened given how close he appeared to be to returning home.

His story has previously been documented by LFTG Radio. In a prior in-depth interview, Tek Money spoke directly from prison, addressing long-standing narratives and offering his own account — a conversation that resonated deeply with listeners across the city.
