Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty on all five counts of wire fraud. They are accused of defrauding businesses out of over $1 million through a scheme involving jewelry, luxury vehicles, and other goods. The scheme allegedly involved falsely claiming money transfers to pay for high-end items, then keeping the goods after payments failed to go through. Prosecutors cited examples such as a $160,000 Cadillac Escalade and $480,000 worth of jewelry. The judge deemed Kingston's mother a flight risk and remanded her into custody. Kingston is under house arrest. They face a maximum of 20 years in prison per count. The judge described Kingston's mother as the 'fixer' of the scheme, while the defense claimed Kingston was financially naive.
