Sean Kingston Released After Paying $100,000 Bond

Sean Kingston has posted bond after he was sent into custody for initially failing to come up with the money regarding his federal wire fraud case.

On Tuesday, multiple news outlets reported that Kingston was brought back into custody at the Federal Detention Center in Miami after he didn't pay a $100,000 cash bond. Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were convicted of all charges in connection with a federal wire fraud case last month, and he was sent to home detention to await sentencing unless he coughed up the bond money.

However, Kingston's attorney, Zeljka Bozanic, told TMZ that the singer posted bond and would be back in home detention, writing in a statement: "Mr. Kingston's bond has been posted, and he is in the process of being released."

According to TMZ, Kingston has since returned to home detention and is now under GPS monitoring while also having to surrender his passport. Kingston and his mother were accused of stealing over one million in cars, jewelry, and more in an extensive fraud scheme.

Federal agents raided Kingston's home in May 2024 and arrested him along with his mother shortly after. During the trial, Kingston reportedly cried during the guilty verdict and told authorities to protect his mother, who was labeled as a flight risk and the "nerve center" of the fraud scheme.

Kingston's attorneys labeled him as a "child" who did not know how his finances were being managed. Their sentencing date is set for July 11, and they both face a maximum of 20 years in prison for every count they were charged with.
