Sean Kingston Posts Bond, Awaiting Release After Fraud Conviction

Sean Kingston will remain in custody until his sentencing hearing after failing to post bond following his fraud conviction last month.

According to WSVN in Miami, lawyers for Kingston (real name Kisean Anderson) said at a court hearing that the musician was unable to pay the $100,000 bond. But when it came time to pay the bill, Kingston and Turner allegedly sent the vendors fake wire receipts, with no money ever being transferred from legitimate accounts. While Kingston was placed on house arrest with bond, Turner — who has similar past convictions on her record and was described by the judge as the “operator, fixer, and accountant” behind the scheme — was immediately taken into custody.
