Sean Kingston has posted bail and is no longer behind bars, after the musician and his family were found guilty in their$ 1 million national scam case late last month.
A lawyer for the 35-year-old “Beautiful Girls ” singer, born Kisean Anderson, told TMZ on Tuesday that Kingston’s$ 100,000 bond “has been posted and he is in the approach of being released. ”
He was still in prison at the Federal Detention Center in Miami before in the regular, when he’d been able to come up with the needed money. Some unknown famous buddies were trying to help with the money, according to the store.
Kingston is now once again under house arrest, with electric tracking, and is required to sacrifice his card. His family is considered a flight risk and may stay in national prison until the two are sentenced on July 11.
Last summers, Kingston and his 61-year-old family, Janice Turner, were each indicted on five counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit cable fraud as part of an organized scheme to defraud leisure companies out of high-end products.
“The defendants unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers … [then ] retained or attempted to retain the vehicles, jewelry and other goods despite non-payment, ” federal prosecutors said when announcing the indictment. “Through the execution of this scheme, the defendants obtained in excess of$ 1 million in property. ”
Late last month, after only three-and-a-half periods of judge deliberation, the couple were found innocent of all charges. Both Kingston and Turner are facing up to 20 years in prison on each matter.
A separate prosecutor for the song recently told TMZ that Kingston went against counsel’s tips when he refused to take a plea bargain.
