The musician will remain in custody until his sentencing hearing after being unable to come up with $100,000

Sean Kingston was taken back into federal custody after failing to pay bond as he awaits sentencing following his conviction in a federal fraud case.

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. The judge ordered him back into federal custody at the Federal Detention Center in Miami, and he will reportedly remain there until his sentencing hearing on July 11.

Kingston’s lawyer did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment. 

Last month, Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were both convicted on wire fraud and theft charges. The feds alleged that the pair procured over $1 million-worth of luxury items — including a bullet-proof Escalade, a giant TV, and expensive watches — without ever paying for them.

Kingston was accused of using his celebrity status to “lull the victims into a false sense of security,” authorities said after the conviction. He allegedly promised to promote these products on social media and refer other high profile clients. 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. 

The jury in the case deliberated for just three hours before returning the guilty verdict against Kingston and Turner late last month. 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.
