Here is everything you need to know about the raid

The raid happened at the mansion situated on Southwest 178th Avenue, on May 23, 2024. Sean Kingston had rented this place. This raid is connected to a lawsuit against the Kingston family, who allegedly had not paid for multiple items including a giant 232-inch television.

During the raid, several luxury cars were seen outside the gigantic 15000 square foot mansion.

As reported by WTVJ, Attorney Dennis Card, who is a part of this case talked about this fraud and Sean KIngston's character and said—

"He likes having bling, he likes showing off, he's a showman. My client has a $150,000 television sound system that's in there, there's also about $1 million worth of watches that are in there, there's a $80,000 custom bed that was ordered. This is an organized systematic fraud."

He continued—

"He's got basically a script, he says that he works with Justin Bieber, and that he obviously puts on a big show here, this is a rental house, he doesn't own it, and he lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without him paying for it and then he simply never pays.

Card also called Kingston a 100 percent scammer and said—

"He's 100 percent a scammer, he's on felony probation right now for trafficking in stolen property, he's got judgements against him for procuring more than $1 million in watches without paying for them. This is just an ongoing pattern for Sean."

Federal court records have shown Janice Tuner being reportedly involved in multiple frauds and thefts before, for which she was sentenced to 16 months in prison, followed by 5 years of community supervision.
