The NYPD arrested about 65 people during the Friday afternoon chaos in Manhattan in Aug. 2023. Cenat paid $55,000 in restitution after the incident.
The DA's office said that Cenat had already paid $55,000 in restitution, and the other two had each paid just over $1,000 each as well. Cenat also posted a lengthy apology on his Snapchat account, which would be reposted by Dennis and Din. What exactly turned the crowd unruly isn't quite clear, but by 3:30 p.m. people were seen throwing garbage at police and taking down barriers around the perimeter. Witnesses reported seeing others hurling chairs and bottles.
