Sean Kingston remanded to federal custody after bond failure in wire fraud case
Sean Kingston has officially been taken into federal custody after failing to post a $100,000 cash bond following his recent wire fraud conviction. The singer, born Kisean Paul Anderson, appeared before Judge David S. Leibowitz on April 10 for a bond compliance hearing, where his attorneys confirmed he was unable to meet the court-imposed bond conditions. The court ordered Kingston into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, where he will remain pending his sentencing, scheduled for July 11, 2025. This follows a federal jury verdict in South Florida in late March, which found Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, guilty on all counts. The two were convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud each. Prosecutors stated the duo orchestrated a scheme to steal over $1 million worth of luxury items by exploiting Kingston's celebrity status. Between April 2023 and March 2024, Kingston contacted high-end vendors including jewelers and electronics suppliers, promising influencer promotion in exchange for goods. He then sent fake wire transfer receipts as payment. Among the items obtained were a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, luxury watches, and a 232-inch LED television. Although Kingston was initially granted conditional release, the bond requirement was not met, prompting immediate detainment. The 20-minute hearing was attended by Kingston and his legal team: Marc Stuart Anton, Zeljka Bozanic, and Trevor Christopher Jones. Both Kingston and Turner now face up to 20 years in prison for each count of conviction.
