Rapper Sean Kingston will be sentenced to $ 1 million to the fraud program in southern Florida

Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Rapper Sean Kingston is expected to be sentenced on Friday in southern Florida after being found guilty of a $ 1 million fraud program.

Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were each condemned by a federal jury in March of conspiracy in order to commit fraud by wire and four chiefs of fraud per wire. US judge David Leibowitz sentenced Turner last month to five years in prison, but Kingston’s conviction was postponed.

Kingston, 35, and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a Swat team made a descent into Kingston’s rented manor in the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale. Turner was placed in police custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested in Fort Irwin, an army training base in the Mojave desert in California, where he performed.

According to the judicial archives, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to organize the purchases of high -end goods. After negotiating agreements, Kingston would invite sellers to one of his high -end houses in Florida and promised to present them as well as their products on social networks.

The investigators said that when the time had come to pay, Kingston or his mother was texting the fake received victims for luxury goods, which included an climbing to the ball, watches and a television led by 19 feet (5.9 meters), the investigators said.

When the funds are never authorized, the victims have often contacted Kingston and Turner on several occasions, but have never been paid or have only received money after having filed or contacted the police.

Kingston passed the glory at the age of 17 with the 2007 tube “Beautiful Girls”, who posed his words on Ben E. King’s song in 1961 “Stand by Me”.
