Federal Indictment for Sean Kingston and His Mother in $1M Fraud Scheme

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been indicted on serious charges of wire fraud following allegations of fraudulent activities involving multiple businesses. A federal grand jury in Miami has charged Kingston and Turner with five counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida, Kingston and Turner allegedly enriched themselves unlawfully by over $1 million. They purportedly deceived dealers of luxury vehicles, jewelry, and other high-end items by falsely claiming that payments had been wired or were in transit, using fraudulent documents to obtain goods without full payment.

 

Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, was released on a $10,000 cash bond, while his mother was released on a $5,000 cash bond. Both are scheduled for their next court appearance on August 9th. If convicted, each charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
