JukeBoXIE

"Can't work for Mexicans and expect honest competition." - His hatred towards Hispanics.
Ethan James Fox (born January 7, 2003) is an American former rapper-singer from Elon, North Carolina, best known as JukeBoXIE, sometimes stylized as JukeBoxXIE and JukeBoXie.
A controversial, polarizing figure, Juke was resented universally by his peers in Young Grown Nation for his constant drama, offensive demeanor, vulgar and violent tendencies, and all around con artist demeanor, even since the first day he was signed onto the label. He was also the enforcer of the Fox Collective, making sure everything his elder sibling, Moxley wanted for the four of them, was given by all means,
Juke was arrested on May 2, 2023, nearly two months after his little sister Felicia Fox, aka Lil Soulnexx, was shot and killed at a music video studio. Juke was indicted for his initial near-fatal injury on the gunman, who was reportedly acting in self-defense, and would later be convicted with his numerous murder conspiracies, along with his massive racketeering charges, on August 11th of that same year.
== History ==
=== Childhood (2003 - 2020) ===
Ethan James Fox was born January 7, 2003, the 4th of 10 children to Michael and Jennifer Fox, two wealthy real-estate developers/managers, who ran the family business 'Fox Rental Management'. Although he was raised in Princeville for a small time, he would later relocate with his parents and three other siblings to Elon around late 2004, to grasp in with the evolving town of Elon, and the proximity to the university would be considered a bonus to the family, especially with their anticipated many other children.
Even though he was born and raised in wealth, Ethan exhibited many early traits of a crime-filled future, mostly beginning with stealing, manipulation, lies and was infamous for his bullying, be it in school, at home, or anywhere in public, and this became even more problematic for the family during his many suspensions, as he had more time at home to rain hell on everyone, rather than being the public's problem for 6 hours.
Like his sisters Brandi and Jaime, he too would constantly partake in early delinquent behaviors, though his cap extended worse than both of them combined, as Ethan would partake in drugs, sex and car theft as early as 14-15, he'd frequently commit the crimes with "friends", but would usually get off the hook due to his status as an "affluent citizen" with a family containing an extremely positive reputation, and he'd often happily snitch on his accessories and point his wrong place, wrong time or bad crowd claim to protect himself. His family would always vouche for him, but eventually caught on, and despite still covering for him, he'd be reprimanded, punished and scolded repeatedly, but never entirely disowned.
He only raised his stakes as he got older, never learning from his mistakes. He'd played hooky to go sleep with girl's he'd meet in school, and often steal from their parents homes after being snuck in, cheated on girls excessively, exposed many minors, including his own little siblings to hardcore drugs, and eventually was removed from public school by his parent's choice, in a desperate order to protect their child's reputation from tainting him from a future, and his mother, Jennifer, spoke publicly during his trial that they'd spent many hours talking about how serious he's messing up, and she'd comfort and nurture him regardless, hoping that with love, but serious discipline (taking his phone, internet and desert privileges) he'd learn his lesson, which he'd play a fake-face to draw away suspicions everytime, get what he'd wanted, and continue being a menace.
At some point in mid 2019, he was arrested for burglary, but was able to reduce his sentence due to the aforementioned factors, and spent a year in juvenile hall, being released around August 2020.
By 2020, he was soon growing into a complete sociopath, and his expanded potential was at its worst, and it continued to be to this day. He was now a high-school dropout, who often ran scams, such as drug dealing, counterfeiting and would grow these stakes the most. His sentence did absolutely nothing to correct him, and was only enough to further anger his motivations. His siblings all stayed away from him, and warned others to not trust their brother, even his sister Morgan, the most leveled and peaceful, shook her head to him, though even her disappointment in him did nothing to hinder his bad habits, once again growing him into a more feral crook.
==== Death of Brandi Fox (November 10, 2020) ====
Ethan Fox was hanging with friends the night of November 10, 2020, when he'd received an emergency phone call from his mother, telling him that his sister Brandi was shot and killed in a failed robbery. Despite the phone call, he continued to record videos of him and his friends listen to music in the car and smoking weed, posting to Snapchat with no visible emotion.
He eventually would decide to tell his friends to drop him off at the Mayflower Seafood in Burlington, claiming he was meeting a girl, when he'd actually decided to run to the Alamance Regional Medical Center, as soon as his friends drove off, just down the road from the restaurant. It's unspecified as to why he lied to his friends about the situation, though it's possible he wanted to hide it from the world, and downplay the severity of it publicly. 
He'd refused posting about it initially, until it was publicly known and friends got word of his sister's murder, and he'd told them he had no idea about it, and regretted not going to the hospital to see her, although multiple witnesses would tell said friends, he did in fact know about the shooting, and delayed his response until it seemed most appealing to him, and caught himself in a lie.
Despite this, he'd showed little remorse for Brandi, as during childhood, she'd been known to bully and terrorize him, on numerous occasions even unprovoked, showing she took pride in the abuse she gave him, but he later admitted he didn't even care about that, and that he's glad she did, as abuse built his character, woke up inside of him who he wanted to be, by venting out the abuse she gave him to innocents, and proudly continued the cycle, stating that the abuse built his character, and being an obnoxious, malicious and sadistic conman and thug is who he's proud to be, and he'll hope the cycle continues through his victim's experience from him.
Despite his horrible personality, he was quoted to have shown sympathy to his family after the attack, and was more than enough trying to comfort them after the attack, which is remembered as one of the most honored things he'd done.
==== Death of Morgan Fox (April 10, 2021) ====
Only 6 months later, a tragedy would repeat, when Ethan's sister, Morgan, would commit suicide due to a spiral of drug-abuse and other mental declining factors stemming from the recent death of Brandi. This loss shook the family the hardest, and whilst both losses were traumatic and equally devastating, Morgan's fate was more unexpected given her circumstances regarding the suicide, as she'd always been the most upbeat, passionate and motivating of her siblings. 
The two losses made Ethan feel hopeless, and spiral into depression, though instead of seeking help, he continued to abuse substance in heavy doses, further fueling his financial lust, to fund his addictions at all costs, and he became even more aggressive under the influence of heavy drugs, alcohol and refused rehab and all intervention attempts, eventually reducing his substance intake willingly, which was met with admiration, but he denounced it as he only chose to get cleaned, so he could continue his wisdom and con-artist demeanor, rather than a aggressive, violent thug, and knew the addictions dampened his wisdom and control over the situations, and made him impulsive.
=== Career with Young Grown Nation (September 2021 - May 2023) ===
==== Signing onto Young Grown Nation (September 2021) ====
In September 2021, Ethan would be met in a circular offer; his sister, Jaime was picked up for her aspiring music career, but she refused to join Young Grown Nation, a recently under-development label project, alone. She would only accept the offer, if her little sister Felicia Fox was accepted too, and somehow this (still unexplained) would spiral into Ethan Fox and his brother, Joey, being offered aswell. They all joined, and Ethan would adopt the name 'JukeBoXIE', with "Juke" being a street name he adopted, and 'Boxie' as a pun of Juke + Box (Jukebox) which was an ode to his music career. The 'IE' was to make homage to a common pun with their family surname, Fox-ie. (Foxy, as pronounced).
Respectfully, Ethan took the offer to join YGN due to the potential of being able launder his funds from illicit gains, and hide away his white collar crimes with genuine funds coming in, and wanted to make additional funds while he could, being a win/win for him.
==== Later Career (September 2021 - May 2023) ====
Despite signing off, Ethan did not record, nor release music until summer 2022, when he'd finally begin recording and working on material, something he'd had a long put-off, shared with his siblings (although Jaime and Felicia did record, albeit in small quantities, up until then). He, along with his siblings, were personally trained and mentored by Tha Ghost, their idol, which was how they grew to become as successful and influential in their music careers.
Most notably, was him being a key figure in the July 4, 2022 shooting, as he was picked up by Tha Ghost, Madd Nightmare and YGN Squadz, after being told of an opportunity to use professional equipment at a private, undisclosed studio in Durham. Ethan recalled passing out in the back seat next to Nightmare on the way there, and cited he hadn't slept the night before. Initially, his little sister Felicia, now known as Soulnexx, was supposed to be at the studio to feature in a song Juke would have with Nightmare titled 'My Thoughts', but Juke refused to allow Felicia in the song, wanting to take credit 50/50 of being in a song with someone he'd claimed before as a "legend".
At the studio, he'd meet former owner of recently defunct label, Young Rich Nation (YRN), the predecessor to YGN, Lil Frosty, who was also the godfather of YGN Squadz, YGN Dripmasterz and the Head of Security for YGN at the time. Juke recalled that night, he was beyond amazed to have met a living legend in the flesh, something he looked back on being more than foreshadowing events nobody would see coming nearly an hour later.
After recording and overgoing the mixing/mastering of the song, along with two others, he called it quits, and requested he have two of his friends come pick him up, so he could go home and get some sleep, as he'd barely made it out of the studio without passing out. Only a little bit later, did he receive word from Squadz that they were the victims of a shooting, and both Frosty and Nightmare were both severely injured when an assailant approached and shot them from outside the car, after the vehicle they rode had hit something sharp, popping their tires and exposing them to the assassination attempt.
Juke was horrified, and out of panic, requested his accompanying guests take him to one of their homes, fearing the possibility he was being followed and putting his family in danger, which without giving that detail in order to downplay the severity, was able to stay with one of the two men with him for a night, returning home. 
He'd later find out that although both men survived the shooting, they were on life-support and under supervision, having to be resuscitated after both were clinically dead after their heart's stopped, presumably from blood loss. 
Sometime after this, he'd get on with his life, and succeeded in finally receiving his driver's license, having reportedly bribed a road test instructor to pass. Then, he was given a job at his family's business, which was landscaping their owned real-estate, in order to spice them up for their potential buyers, something he looks back on as being the "only thing he could do" because of his lack of qualifications, long term planning or any interest whatsoever in anything else, and says the reason he took the job was for additional money laundering fonts, and because he could make money going into work at any point, at his own pace, without a risk of termination due to his position as child of the company owners.
He recalls he also got to keep a company vehicle for his everyday commutes in life, until he'd buy a pickup truck later on. He also mentions he'd bring along his girlfriend, Melissa, and sometimes even his friends or siblings to work with him, so he could drink, chat and take the slowest, slackest pace and still get paid for his hours regardless. 
His music career took off in August 2022 at its peak, when he'd release his debut feature with Soulnexx, as both had their own full-length debut songs together. Then, his song 'My Thoughts' would feature on Nightmare's posthumous album, 'Spent a Night at Hell Avenue', released in September, which brought in even more fame, as Nightmare was a hot topic at the time, due to his death on August 26th.
=== Death of Soulnexx (March 23, 2023) ===
Juke was enjoying the success he'd been gaining at rapid levels, and his siblings followed close behind, which nominated them for eligibility in country-wide tour with Squadz, Dripmasterz and Ghost, scheduled throughout April - May 2023.
He'd begin rehearsing with his three collaborating siblings, all apart of their quad-collective, for the tour, and was scheduled for his role in a music video shoot for March 23, 2023, for a song he'd recorded earlier that month. His siblings also had individual roles for music video appearances, which were set at the abandoned Tarheel Army Missile Plant, which was rented out as Connor Graham 'Tha Ghost' was the recently appointed director of filming for YGN, a role he'd been given after retiring from music in January of that same year.
After arriving to the music video shoot, Juke would be among the patrons to get drunk and wild at the casting party, held on the 22nd, whilst some videos were being shot, something considered a "que", although would later be considered a serious flaw in the event, as many of the patrons were to perform high-risk stunts, all the while alcohol was present. 
At 12:57 AM, March 23, 2023, Jaime Fox, now '420Foxy' or 'Foxy II', would make her way toward Ghost in order to confront him "alone" while he was in a crew-only area of the event, when she'd begin to violently argue with him, whilst he was intoxicated, over an unclear dispute.
Around 1:00, she'd then violently strike Ghost, when her siblings Juke and Soulnexx, had been rushing to check on her and back her up, sensing she was in danger of a fight with Ghost, just before the first blow to his jaw from Foxy II was made. Ghost would stumble for a minute, having several teeth detached and bleeding, would remove his holstered and concealed firearm, and open fire in the direction of Foxy II as she approached him to continue the beatdown, and stumbled both due to his injuries and intoxiciation, causing him to fire off in a reckless manner, striking 7 guests, and one bullet catching Soulnexx in the head, fatally injuring her almost immediately. 
After noticing their little sister was shot, Juke and Moxley rushed Ghost in an extremely furious manner, violently swinging him into a brick wall at high-speed and force, causing him to fracture his skull, suffer a concussion, and bleed on both the inside, outside and collapse, then proceeding to kick, beat and maim him, until ongoers broke up the assault, and eventually medical officials and police arrived to the scene, having been called 7 minutes after the shooting, and was delayed by the underqualified students hired as event medical staff tried to downplay the severity and try to fix it themselves, which also included dragging and gently slapping Soulnexx and other injured, trying to get a response. Juke was not shot or injured during the attack.
Foxy II rode back with Soulnexx in the ambulance, en route to the hospital, although Soulnexx was pronounced dead on the scene, and Juke initially claimed he was going straight home, but lied and had Moxley drop him off at his girlfriend's, as she gave him a spare key to her apartment (he did not reportedly live with her full time) and went to sleep, but had actually went to go smoke with a neighbor on the balcony of the apartment. 
He had her drop him off at home later that day, he recalled waking her up telling her he had to drop by, because he just witnessed a shooting, and his little sister Felicia was dead, and fell asleep in her bed, and spent a few hours that afternoon with her after waking up; his girlfriend claimed he said he didn't go straight home so he wouldn't see his family's immediate reaction to what happened earlier that day, and she took him home around the evening. Sometime in between all of this, he successfully had his music video for the tour recorded outside the missile plant, although the sun was starting to come out by then.
The next day, Juke and Moxley got together to do a show in Cary, although they opened their act with a moment of silence and a "rest in peace, my little sister Felicia, who they just lost yesterday morning from gun violence, at the age 14". Their concert was supposed to be attended by Felicia and Jaime; the latter was devastated from the recent events, and it would've been impossible to convince her to go.
A few days later, Jaime was starting to slowly recover, and did tell Juke and Moxley she would love to get back to music again, but it would need alot of time and work, which they both understood and reminded her they were in no means rushing her recovery process.
==== Arrest and Downfall (May 2, 2023 - Present) ====
Juke, Moxley and Foxy II returned as a trio, performing an Easter Concert at the Graham Recreation Center, which was a free event. They held a brief tribute for Soulnexx, before continuing the show, and would begin to hold shows all throughout April, and towards the end of the month, the three began contemplating a restructure for their collective; they wanted to drop the idea as mostly independent artists grouped as a whole, and instead become a full-on band, similarly to the Graham Triangle, once lead by their former mentor Connor Graham 'Tha Ghost' who they now came to resent.
They would dabble with names, though 420Foxy's name 'Meadow Fox Fortune' stuck with them the most, and they proposed their first album as a band be Reggae styled, and to tour Nassau in the Bahamas, and multiple places in Jamaica, which they believed that genre would strive in the two locations, due to the heritage it provided. Things had been going smoothly, until May 2, 2023, when Juke, along with Loaded Moxley and 420Foxy, were arrested for involvement in the March 23, 2023 shooting. They had went to the courthouse after being told to visit for witness testimony, as that would be the first-hearing of Ghost. Instead, they were all arrested, as a warrant had been placed on them beforehand, and their status as flight risks and their aggression was a driving factor into the trio being lead into a trap by detectives. 
Juke was initially under supervised bond, but immediately broke the agreement when he'd been caught attempting to murder Katelynn Lingenfelter in Tennessee, having been ambushed when his ankle monitor was detected as having left the state, and Tennessee police captured him, and had him returned to North Carolina to go back to serve his jail sentence, on May 10th. 
With his conviction on August 11th, and facing a minimum of 50 years in prison upon his sentencing date, his music career was ended just as quickly as it began. 
== Trial (July 31, 2023 - Present) ==
Juke's trial began on July 31, 2023, and is predicted to have a verdict on August 11, 2023, though it is unclear as to when it will truly end, and this is an estimate given the evidence, testimony and witness statements.
=== Murder-Suicide Plot ===
After a long wait, Juke was the first of his siblings to stand trial, and in the first day, his immediate charges were presented to him, which was a massive hit-list he'd put in a journal, along with a to-do and checklist, with a bunch of names, the first being to assassinate the label owner, YGN Squadz, by luring him and a speculated crush into an ambush; Juke knew that Squadz is extremely paranoid, always has security and only has his back turned to a minimum, so he would have to rely on the fact he'd want privacy and a separate home for him and his crush, should they get together. Counting on that, Juke would make the offer for Squadz to "work with him" on his own music ambitions to stardom, and offered a luxury home (due to his family business in real-estate) which would be in his name, in exchange for the work, and count on Squadz taking up the offer, so he could have an ambush set for hitmen to kill Squadz and said girl.
This was to cause Dripz to become successor of the YGN, and Juke wanted to punish Squadz for failing to keep control of the situation, and his fierce protective stance and defense over Dripmasterz, as Juke wanted Dripmasterz dead along with his girlfriend Katelynn Lingenfelter, due to the girl leaking photos of the crime scene and photos of Soulnexx's body online for profit, and deliberately sent to the younger siblings on Discord, in order to taunt the family due to Foxy II being the ex of Drip.
And although Squadz would've allowed an assassination on Katelynn to come to fruition, he would've never allowed a hair on Dripmasterz to be harmed, so he had to be removed, since he was to proud to be working with his little "brother" to wanna just turn on him, and with his death, YGN Dripmasterz would become leader of the Young Grown Nation, and it would immediately fail, thus humiliating the failed leader, having him publicly disgraced and shamed, then coming to kill him personally, which would've expanded to a point Juke wanted to punish the family, by murdering Cathy Mackinlay (Dripz' mother), his little brother Michael, then even his distant brother CJ and his 6 year old son, Caiden, by setting their home on fire and burning them to death in their sleep.
Then, he'd do similar to Katelynn, though the note specified he'd physically torture, rape and maim her, before killing her with a knife and livestreaming it over the internet and leaking it to her family, of her rape and murder, in a mock revenge, albeit over the top, for her leaking his little sister's body online, then he'd go on to hunt down Ghost, his mother, then Ghost's ex-wife and two children, his two year old son Bradley, and then four-month old daughter, Kimberly.
Phone calls with him and his girlfriend, Melissa, had him tell her he was going to kill himself after "taking care of some things", and asked her ways he should kill himself, though despite her franticly begging him not to, and telling him she's about to come visit him and make sure he doesn't do anything, he circled around to the idea of setting himself on fire inside a church, as an ultimate mockery to God for "taking his loved ones from him" yet "allowing sickos like Drip to be happy".
He also told his brother, Moxley he wanted to kill himself, and that if he did, for Moxley to watch out for the family, to which Moxley reportedly put his hand on his shoulder, and said "don't do this to us". And had a heartfelt conversation about how Juke was worth more to the family, than he'd put himself up for, but Juke didn't seem to listen. He also said he'd leave Melissa and Jaime as the prime inheritances of his will.
When this was shown to the jurors within the first three days, it was only on the first that Juke immediately figured out the detectives and prosecutor knew about this, he'd said to his attorney to provide a no-contest deal, and that he'd be wiling to testify against his siblings, stating the notes were all faked; "he confessed" that Jaime had put out the hits, and he only took her up on it, stating he'd be the one to orchestrate the killings on her behalf, but refuse to go through, as he claimed he only said this so she wouldn't hire someone who would actually hurt the people, and that he had no interest in doing it, and that if he was, the victims would've been killed by then.
His motion for testifying against his siblings was denied, as he did not meet the eligible requirements for filing this motion, which would've been a "guilty" plea, and he staunchly refused to change his plea. He had requested that in exchange for his snitching, he'd be rewarded with $65K, all charges dropped among a expunged record, and a chocolate sundae. After this motion was denied, he tried to plead insanity, but this was also rejected due to the same lack of eligibility.
His attorney spoke for him on behalf of his claims he had just been a third wheel roped into the mess by his siblings, and the previously mentioned story he put out for a tease to his testimony. The attorney mentioned that Juke had plenty of time to perform the hits, had he been serious, and had nothing to lose in a suicide run, and there was nothing that would've held him back before then.
It was also pointed out, his "suicide" was just a simple act of end of rope depression, followed by an extremely traumatic event, and that his reaction and wanting others dead as he mentioned on the phone, was like a typical hurt response would emerge, and it was all empty, as nothing had been done about it. The defense were able to perform a counter to all of the prosecutor's incriminating claims so far, although the effect it provided on the jury is unclear. 
==== Embezzlement and Extortion ====
It was revealed that shortly after the shooting, he'd been embezzling $60 - $200 a day atop of his casual salary from his family business, in order to help fund his expenses in which he purchased 16 firearms, some of different variety, along with large amounts of gasoline, chlorine and peroxide, likely in able to partake in the hitlist. It was believed he made the embezzlement process by claiming the advance on his lent funding for the "jobs" in landscaping, was so he could put the extra incentive to use and add an additional spice to the landscaping services he did. 
He also had been extorting from his little sister, Soulnexx, by tricking their parents into giving him authorization to pick up her medicine from the pharmacy, which was her antidepressant and treatment for her severe PTSD. He pocketed the money, and persuaded her to lie to her family about him keeping his word, by bringing her to local bars, having paid off the bartenders and staff to turn blind eye to their ages, and getting her drunk, and even taking her to a strip club, telling her he hoped she was gay, so she would enjoy the visit there. 
This was likely a mutually beneficial deed, as Juke enjoyed the nightlife and lifestyle described here, and was grooming his sister to become a perverted, corrupted individual in her young age, likely so she could be his apprentice, and she likely was happy to take the opportunity to enjoy herself, and bond with her older brother, and Juke was able to get away taking money from her funds for medical needs due to her severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. 
It's also pointed out that surveillance footage shows Juke and Melissa leaving a jet-ski dealership days after the shooting, which it was later traced back that Juke had stolen a significant portion of Soulnexx's life-insurance settlement, somehow taking it from his parents, so he could buy a jetski for the summer tour in the Bahamas and Jamaica; Juke was also in the process of booking into the Atlantis Resort, and funding all venues through his little sister's life insurance funds, supposedly unknownst to either Moxley, Foxy II or even the rest of the family. 
==== Infringement Lawsuit ====
Although not directly for him, he, along with Moxley, Foxy II and Soulnexx all worked together in robbing hundreds of producers, usually from their official websites, by either screen recording or using advanced technology to steal the beats without purchase, remove the producer tags completely, and use said beats regularly, without any credit for the producer, and the beats, which were usually high-dollar, would have monetizing put out on it, with an obvious no cut for the producers, meaning the siblings stole tons of artwork from its owners, refused payment, hid the theft and profited from it for themselves. This lawsuit is totaling up to thousands from individual producers, and there's no official record of how much the three will have to pay in damages. 
This also lead to nearly all music of the Fox Collective being shut off from all streaming platforms, and currently this also carries its own sentence for the three, although currently, it's not publicly known who the prosecutors will deem as the ringleader, although Moxley seems the likely candidate, due to his status as the collective's frontman.
==== Conclusion ====
The trial ended August 11th (with the exception of an upcoming sentencing), and further discoveries show that Juke had been telling his two siblings Moxley and Foxy II about his disapproval of Soulnexx being in their collective, voicing he thought she was of poor quality, and didn't fit in, which both agreed, but refused to kick her out; Moxley and Foxy II stated they would work with her on getting better (although Moxley was unlikely to do anything) and Juke was outnumbered by the decision, and this was the last they spoke of it.
It was also brought up that Ghost would become a threat to their ambitions, due to him being a start attraction in YGN and still widely beloved, and that at some point, their former mentor and idol would have to be "dealt with" so they can minimize the competition, although the when/where and how regarding this were not discovered, and it's likely to have been a simple empty concern rather than threat.
Juke was found guilty on August 11, 2023 and his sentencing date is set to end August 16th. He was sentenced to life without parole, for his numerous felony attempted murder plots, along with conspiracies. His attorney has submitted a request for a retrial, however, as of August 29, 2023, this has yet to be acknowledged by a judge.
== Personality ==
Juke is considered, without a doubt, the most controversial and despised of his entire bloodline, if not family tree entirely. In a personal, from the heart, he poses as an obnoxious, high status tough-guy, who can be marked up as a stereotypical Shark. He's also proudly xenophobic, happy to be both homophobic, racist, and containing no qualms nor exceptions unlike his siblings, in his purely fascist eyes. He's also known be rude, obnoxious, disrespectful and a total jerk to practically all who comes his way, though if he sees them as a potential prey, he will put his act on, and begin his notable con artist demeanor.
By all means, he does it all, from performing scams involving his landscaping services, running off with money when paid for features, mugging, pickpocketing, shoplifting, his biggest slice of cake is the art of scams, as he loves to use his manipulative quirks to trap innocents in any way he can scam them, be it a job, music related, a drug deal, etc. And, he's still an opportunist by heart, so he's been known to snitch on his own plugs for profit, should they meet his ire, or the price to take them down be more appealing than the opposite. He's also provided mole services just for the disguise, as a confidential informant would be least likely to be a suspect in his eyes.
He also has no qualms about child endangerment, as he's provided alcohol to his minor sisters on many occasions, even allowed them to smoke cigarettes and take Xanax and Opiods, showing no concern for the doings. Everyone in YGN knows the saying, to never turn your back to him or to even bother trying to interact with him, because he'll do anything he can to screw you over, even if you don't seem like you have anything to lose, he's always quick to find something. He's a liar, and has never been known to keep his word. He tried to groom and corrupt the innocence of both Foxy II and Soulnexx into being his own apprentices, as while he was mostly a treacherous, opportunistic con with a true loyalty to himself, he likely would've remained more lenient towards his sisters working for him in order to be white collar crime lords, although he likely would've had a mild play against them, but not at the same severity he gave others. 
Despite his demeanor, his personality can still be somewhat forgiven (though, does not outweigh the negative) as he was reportedly loyal to his girlfriend, Melissa, and did everything possible to keep her, along with his family, out of danger, something he considered as his lifestyle as a crook was his career, while at home, he kept a loyal, dedicated and protective instinct to his blood, among a select few outside, meaning outside of his working hours, don't bother the loved ones and shield them from it. This does not seem to extend to when his own life is danger, as he was quick to offer up information against Moxley and Foxy II without a fight, though he did not necessarily put themselves in that situation, and does not actively put anyone he cares about in danger, only offer them up as a sacrificial lamb if they are in on something with him, and he thinks he can escape his own punishment. Also, it's likely he did so, because he realized the numbers on his name during the indictment were bigger than he imagined, and was not willing to do years in prison, if he could get out of it. 
The most irredeemable and moral event horizon is that he had no tragic background. He was born into wealth and given nearly everything he wanted, including accepting, kind but stern parents, who were not absent, negligent or considered abusive by all means, despite the large family. He willingly chose the lifestyle he lived, because he was privileged, he had everything he wanted, but still wanted more, and took pride in the expense of others, for his financial gain, he was revolted by the idea of charity and generosity, and admired the lifestyle of being a liar, a thief and selfish, manipulative kingpin. His affluent background gave him the idea, that he had all right to step over anyone else he saw as inferior, and for those he saw as superior, he'd manipulate a false loyalty until they lost their cachet over him, then turn on them and take pride in his rising hierarchy move. 
The abuse he suffered at the hands of Brandi was not a leading factor in his lifestyle; he even admitted he's glad she did so, because his childhood abuse from his older sister grew him into accepting that trauma builds character, and being an abusive being is enough to justify how he treats everyone, not because he wants them to learn a lesson as he did, but because he just wants an excuse to justify his toxic personality. His obsession with violence and trickery grew him into a completely unpredictable, impulsive and yet coordinated being, who was willing to stab any of his friends in the back, screw them over or do about anything to gain something out of their expense, regardless if they treated him with upmost respect and loyalty. 
He's still intelligent, at a frightening level, as he was able to manipulate many to fall victim to his scams, extortion attempts, embezzlement and many racketeering services, and was enough for him to know how to hide his racketeering and laundering, through genuine businesses such as his rap career, and his civilian job with the family business, also used as a front for fraudulent services in landscaping, along with his role as a police informant, which disguised his reputation and built him up as an honored, but troubled teen; his persuasion and trickery was enough to establish all of this, and keep him going for years without any capture or discovery. 
== Trivia ==
* JukeBoXIE has a personality almost completely identical to Lil Paytrain, although it's unclear if either know of the respective parallel character. None of the leading administration reported either having met at all, and Paytrain became affiliated with the pre-YGN in May 2021, having a brief moment spent in North Carolina (a day) before returning to being online, and mostly an advisor to Squadz, substituting for Dripmasterz due to the Owen Hinton Scandal, and his physical return to North Carolina being a few days after the shooting on March 23, 2023, and Juke being absent due to the obvious reasons, and his arrest and deprivement from the public on May 2.
** Unarguably, Paytrain is by far more of a threat and obnoxious thorn compared to Juke, as Juke has some redeemable traits, such as his loyalty (albeit, unextended if his life is on the line) to his family, while Paytrain has absolutely no redeemable traits, and is a total morally bankrupt thug.
** Also, if they did know eachother or ever do meet, it's a guarantee that one would try to rob the other, as Paytrain would see him as a threat to his reputation, given his narcasisstisc, opportunistic filled drive, and Juke would see it as a challenge, to rob, con or extort in some means someone praising himself as a king.
* Most members of the YGN actually sided with him for the first and only time, when he made his plots to take out Katelynn Lingenfelter, due to her sickening doings, and her corrupting YGN Dripmasterz, although this was recanted when the full extent of his plot was revealed during trial.
