5 Tips to Find Cheap Flights For Summer Travel.

With summer on the horizon, it’s crucial to start planning your next vacation now. Since flights often account for significant travel expenses, early planning can help you secure the best deals. 

Avoid peak travel times. 

While summer is typically a peak travel season, you can significantly reduce expenses by avoiding popular holiday weekends like Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. Opting for early or late summer travel can also lead to substantial savings when schools are not on break.  

Be flexible with your dates and destinations. 

Popular flight search engines like Kayak, Skyscanner, and Google Flights allow flexible inquiries.
That means you can input the specific dates you want to travel and let the website tell you which destinations are the cheapest to fly to, or you can put the destination you’re interested in and say to the website which travel dates get you the lowest prices.  

Follow the 21-Day Rule. 

 It’s tempting to book flights at the last minute, but here’s a rule: don’t book any flights later than 21 days before you’d like to travel. Flight prices fluctuate often but are guaranteed to increase once the trip is less than 21 days out. With this knowledge, you can confidently plan your trip and avoid unnecessary expenses. 

 Fly on Tuesday or Wednesday 

 While the specific day you book your trip doesn’t impact prices, the day you fly does. Avoid popular weekend travel days (Friday through Monday), and you’ll find better rates. 

 Search for flights individually. 

 It could be a hassle, but you can save money if you search for flights individually. That applies to departing and returning flights and when booking multiple people on the same flight. If you don’t mind risking sitting separately, you can search for seats individually, and they’re sometimes cheaper than finding two seats together.  

Happy Travels!

A New York State of Mind. The Legal Controversy Surrounding Letitia James And Donald Trump.

A New York State of Mind. The Legal Controversy Surrounding Letitia James And Donald Trump.

Many individuals with a New York Empire state of mind have been involved in mortgage fraud. In a move that piqued many’s interest, President Donald Trump has boldly recommended that Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, face the exact charges she has often brought against others.

In 2023, Letitia James, wielding the immense power of her position as the New York Attorney General, accused Donald J. Trump of overvaluing his property to secure large loans from Deutsche Bank. She filed and won a civil case against him, with the court ordering Trump to pay a substantial $350 million judgment. This case was a significant victory for James, as it was one of the first instances where a former president was held accountable in a civil court.

In a letter obtained by US Media to US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Federal Housing Financial Agency (FHFA) director William Pulte accused James of misrepresenting a building she purchased as a four-unit structure instead of a five-unit structure to get a better deal. If true, this accusation could have serious implications for James’s career and the ongoing investigations into her financial dealings.

The New York state of mind is not just a phrase; it’s a reality. This allegation is the same as that Letitia James brought against Trump. She accused him of ‘overvaluing his building to get a larger loan and better insurance deal.’

FBI’s Jailhouse Snitch Sam Antar

About seven months ago, convicted felon Sam Antar, a well-known and celebrated snitch, began investigating A.G. Letitia James’s finances. His investigation, which focused on potential financial mismanagement, has unearthed some deeply concerning findings that demand our attention.

After his investigation, Antar turned over his findings to William Pulte. Pulte made a federal referral to US A.G. Pam Bondi to open an investigation into James.

**Antar is a convicted felon and a former CPA. As the CFO of Crazy Eddie, Antar helped mastermind one of the largest securities frauds uncovered during the 1980s. Today, Antar advises federal and state law enforcement agencies about white-collar crime and trains them to identify and catch white-collar criminals.

Antar’s investigation has revealed that when James purchased her first home, she listed her father as her husband on the paperwork. She also bought another house in Virginia that she claimed as her primary residence while serving as AG for the State of New York.

For New York AG Letitia James, most of Black America is divided into two separate Ailes, underscoring the issue’s weight and complexity. The avowed hating KKK treats the Black community more fairly than Letitia James. James and Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg have green light the wanton murder of Black people than Jeffery Dahmer. By their lack of action in the prosecution of murders of Black New Yorkers, they encourage it.

Alvin Bragg

Manhattan D.A. Alvin (eats everything on the plate) Bragg. One of America’s Most Cowardly and Incompetent District Attorneys.

One set supported the New York AG because they believed it was proper to go after Trump. The other side despises James because she failed to deliver justice for Black victims of White Supremacy and White rage.
For James’ detractors, James’ probable impending doom and demise are celebrated. N.Y. A.G. James leaves the Black community dangling in the wind—always.

The issue with Trump going after James is that if she gets jailed for the same crime as Trump, then Trump’s appeal in his civil fraud case would be moot. The US Attorney General would have set a precedent if they had convicted James of a mirror crime.

Once Trump got wind of the allegations against James, he posted on Truth Social: Posting Truth Social A.G. James is a “wacky crook.” “Letitia James, a corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General immediately,” Trump wrote.

“No charges have been filed against James. James’ office is accusing Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department,” according to the BBC, adding that more details would follow if the Justice Department took.

Gathering her supporters with Al Sharpton, Letitia James, the big bosom lady with the New York accent, tried to change Trump’s point of view.
Her adlib lines were well-rehearsed, but Trump says I’m coming after you. “You’re in my heart; you’re in my soul.

You’ll be my target ’til I grow old out of office. You are my enemy. You’re no damn friend.” I’m on your case. — A play on Rod Stewart’s mega-hit, “You’re In My Heart.”

The moral of the story for Letitia James is: When you live in a glass house, it’s best not to throw stones.

FSU Student Opened Fire On Campus: 2 Dead, 7 Injured.

FSU Student Shoot to Kill. 2 Dead

The all too common incident is Sending Shockwaves Through The Community. A 20-year-old Florida State University (FSU) student named Phoenix Ikner opened fire on visitors and fellow students today on campus. According to Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil, the shooter is the son of one of his current deputies.

The 20-year-old shooter used his mother’s previous service weapon to kill at least two campus visitors. However, the swift response of the police ‘neutralized’ him, ensuring the safety of the campus.

Florida State University, 222 S Copeland St, Tallahassee, FL 32306, is a bustling campus with about 34,000 undergraduate students. FUS’s sprawling campus is situated on nearly 500 acres; this tragic incident shattered a typical day.

According to NBC News, a hospital spokesperson confirmed that at least six people are receiving treatment at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. Tallahassee Chief of Police advised that nine people total have been shot, including the gunman. Phoenix Ilner is a member of FSU’s Youth Advisory Council.
A female student described the scene as horrific. She told an ABC News reporter that one person was transported to the hospital with his arm cut off. Another witness described the shooter as a young male with a beard.

FSU’s president, Richard McCullough, announced that while the incident is under control, the campus will remain closed through Sunday

Rapper Sean Kingston Bail Revoked: cannot pay $100K Bond.

Rapper Sean Kingston Bail Revoked: cannot pay $100K Bond.

A federal judge in Fort Lauderdale has revoked the bail of a serious offender, Sean Kingston. The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty last month — March 25 — of a significant crime, wire fraud, in a federal trial in Broward County, Florida.

After a 3-hour deliberation, a federal jury found Kingston and his mother guilty. They convicted them of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud, potentially facing a significant amount of time in prison. According to CBS News, the jury found them guilty after deliberating for three hours.

You’re Only As Good As Your Last Hit

“You’re Only As Good As Your Last Hit

The quote ‘You’re Only As Good As Your Last Hit’ is often used in the music industry to emphasize the importance of consistently producing successful work. In this context, it could be interpreted as a commentary on Sean Kingston’s recent legal troubles affecting his reputation and career.”

According to authorities, the rapper, known for his sly tactics, allegedly lured his victims into a false sense of security before robbing them. It’s believed that he attempted a similar strategy in court. His mother, Janice Turner, has already begun serving her sentence since the day of her conviction.

Rolling Stone Magazine reported that Kingston posted the 100K bond and was waiting to be released, his attorneys claimed. However, as of 1600 hours on Tuesday, Kingson was still in jail, a turn of events that was unexpected and surprising.

“The judge originally ordered him back into federal custody at the Federal Detention Center in Miami to remain there until his sentencing hearing on July 11.”

You’re only as good as your last hit. And Sean Kingston’s previous hit was robbing people. Finding someone to put up bail for him might be hard. A man’s word should be his bond–not a bail bondsman.
“The feds alleged that the pair procured over $1 million worth of luxury items — including a bulletproof Escalade, a giant TV, and expensive watches — without ever paying for them.”

Mood Swings: The Stock Market Is Having Hot Flashes?

Mood Swings: The Stock Market Is Having Hot Flashes?

Mood swings: The Stock Market is having hot flashes. One minute, it’s hot. The next minute, it’s cold.
Since last Thursday, April 3rd, the Stock Market has been experiencing extreme fluctuations, much like a roller coaster ride. The Dow Jones Industrials (DJI) shows signs of volatility, akin to a person having hot flashes. The unpredictable nature of the market is causing investors to feel like they’re driving on a road full of unexpected bumps.

Although the wheels haven’t quite fallen off, many wonder if they’ll need a new car or just a new set of wheels at the end of the ride. This uncertainty calls for resilience and adaptability in the face of market volatility.

It’s a wild Ride. In the movie ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ (a great film about the stock market), Matthew McConaughey’s character famously said, ‘I don’t care who you are? “Number one rule of the game.”
Whether you’re Warren Buffet or Jimmy Buffet, nobody knows if the Stock Market will go up, down side ways or in circles.’ This quote perfectly captures the uncertainty that investors are currently facing.

Stock Market Closed In The Green

On Friday, the Stock Market closed in the green, with the Dow gaining 620 points. President Trump escalated the trade war with China by increasing their tariffs to 145%. However, he made some ‘temporary’ exceptions on high-tech products from China. In response, China raised its tariff on the U.S. to 125 percent. Trump’s 90-day moratorium on tariffs for most countries played a significant role in pushing the markets into positive territory on Friday.

The President also claimed that leaders of several tariffed countries have called him begging to kiss his ass. He did not name the leaders who have puckered up.

On March 31, class clown Bill Maher visited the White House, where Trump hosted him in the class C dining room. After the dinner, Maher told the media, “It doesn’t matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian; it matters who he is on the world stage.”

Reggae Singer Koffee Lost Her Innocense, Her Fans, Her Chance.

Reggae Singer Koffee Lost Her Innocense, Her Fans, Her Chance.

In 2018, 17-year-old Reggae singer Koffee (AKA Mikayla Victoria Simmons), known for her captivating blend of reggae, dancehall, and R&B, burst onto the music scene like a supernova. And a Supernova she was.
Taking time from his performance to highlight the newly minted artist Koffee, Reggae extraordinaire Cocoa Tea brought Koffee on stage and introduced her to thunderous applause at the 2018 Rebel Salute concert.
The crowd’s love and cheers for her were like a warm embrace, a testament to her growing popularity.

She was accepted like a hot cup of Morning Joe on a winter’s day. On that day, Koffee, the artist, was born. Koffee’s modest yet confident stage presence radiated a unique blend of confidence and innocence, a sight that inspired many

Cocoa Tea Dead @ 65

Although Koffee released her debut single, “Burning,” in 2017, she never brewed until Cocoa Tea’s introduction at the 2018 Rebel Salute. On March 11, 2025, Cocoa Tea died from a cardiac arrest at the age of 65.

When Cocoa brought her on, she performed another one of her hit singles, “Raggamuffin.” In the song, the rapper told her audience, “2030 we still a dweet.” By 2022, the hot Koffee had fizzled and became cold. Koffee fell short of her 2030 prediction of ruling the top of the charts.

Something Happened Along The Way.

In 2017-2019, several female recording artists (Sevana, Jaz Elise, Lila Ikè and, Naomi Cowan, Shenseea) were bubbling up on the Jamaica music scene. Koffee floated to the top of the pot and the charts. Of the five above-mentioned artists, Koffee’s actual competition was Shenseea. Shenseea brimmed with talent and was adept at selling herself as a sexpo and a Thirst Trap.

Where bi-sexuality won the day for Shenseea, masculinity failed Koffee. Shenseea sold talent with sex, while Koffee sold androgyny and uncertainty. Sex won.

The Jamaican culture could not sustain the young singer’s career built on rumors of her alleged sexual proclivities for same-sex relationships.
And Koffee did nothing to dispel the talk of the town.

Adding to Koffee’s cloak-and-dagger mysterious social life, her appearance in a music video with British mega-talent Sam Smith, frolicking in a gay nightclub, helped to seal her fledgling musical fate.

About 4.5 percent of the population is born gay, yet Jamaica’s female music recording artists run about 60 percent. Is that an illustration sample of Jamaica’s population? Or some artists are over-sampled to get an RCA Records deal? Art imitates life.

Life imitates art. What percentage of the male population in Jamaica is gay but remains “in the closet” because of cultural norms?

Are gay male Jamaican Reggae artists with ‘dreads’ (long flowing hair) an under-sampled demographic in the music industry? The answer is a resounding yes.

And Then Came COVID-19.

As Koffee learned how to control her sea legs and master the stage, COVID-19 cleared the stage. Most concertgoers opted to stay home and get entertained by Netflix and the Internet. When Columbia Records UK signed Koffee, her career got a big boost.

The rush release of Koffee’s debut EP “Rapture,” containing five songs, put her in the runnings for a Grammy win in 2019. “On 13 November 2019, Koffee was announced as an opening act for British pop singer Harry Styles on select dates of the North American leg of his 2020 Love On Tour.” — Wikipedia

Sevana

Reggae Singer Sevana Trying To Imitate Diana Ross But With Less Class

Meanwhile, talent scouts selected Koffee’s contemporaries, Lila Ike and Sevana, to sign with RCA Records. Records sales were negligible for both Ike and Sevana. To boost record sales and garnish attention, Lila Ike announced that a Black man raped her and that she was a lesbian.
The Oprah Winfrey Color Purple story — paint Black men as monsters, and we’ll make you rich. It hasn’t worked; while Lila Ike does possess some talent, she lacks grace, charm, and magnetism. Mediocre Auto-Tune performer Jada Kindom also announced that she was a lesbian. She’s still waiting for RAC Victor to take the bait.

After all, it catapulted Oprah to billionaire status. Sevana’s album cover featured a near-naked Sevana—a Diana Ross knock-off from the 1970s. It worked for Diana Ross because a naked star was a rarity back then.

Unfortunately for Sevana, 90% of recording artists run around naked today. She’s a day late and a dollar short. Lela Ike and Sevana are very talented vocalists. However, they choose to sell other than talent. A naked ass on an album cover has lost its shock value and appeal. It gives off an aura of a dime-a-dozen sexcapede (see your doctor) drugstore event.

One doesn’t have to go to the strip joint and pay to view pornography anymore. It’s an every event. It has taken over the gym and on every street corner.

Every hoe in the gym videoing themselves, selling the video to some 400 lbs bloke sitting in his mama’s basement. Instead of using his money to get a gym membership. Anyhow, I digress.

t speaks volumes when foreign artists believe that the only way to break into America’s music industry is to declare yourself as a lesbian. They are common Hoes.

They will kill their family and eat their young. Twenty-two percent talent “Jada Kingdom” also declares herself a lesbian, looking for an American record deal. RCA, stop rewarding these clowns.

Meanwhile, talent scouts selected Koffee’s contemporaries, Lela Ike and Sevana, to sign with RCA Records. Records sales were negligible for both Ike and Sevana. To boost record sales and garnish attention Lela Ike announced that a Black man raped her and that she was lesbian.

Some people like the Oprah Winfrey Color Purple story. After all, it catapulted Oprah to billionaire status. Sevana’s album cover featured a near-naked Sevana—a Diana Ross knock-off from the 1970s.

It worked for Diana because a naked star was a rarity back then—aside from Tarzan, Jane, and Hugh Hefner’s Centerfolds. Unfortunately for Sevana, 90% of recording artists run around naked today—a day late and a dollar short. Naked ass is cheap. My recommendation is to try the Only Fans club.

There were rumors of Koffee collaborating with Rihanna, but the collaboration never materialized. Supposedly, Rihanna did not want to give Koffee that much publicity. She kept her feminine look while Koffee went androgynous.

Androgyny worked for Prince, but Prince was super talented. It worked for Tracy Chapman, but Chapman’s audience reach was wider; she was more gifted and born in America. Tracy Chapman has no language barrier to overcome. “She’s Got A Fast Car.”

Stocks And Awe: No Pain, No Gain. Is Trump Right?

Stocks And Awe: No Pain, No Gain. Is Trump Right?

As the Stock Market has experienced a rapid decline in the past few days, the urgency of President Trump’s ‘Shock and Awe’ strategy has become more apparent. Is this turning into a situation of Stock in Awe that demands our immediate attention? Indeed, it has grasped the world’s attention.

Since before his return to the White House for his second term, Trump has been warning the American people about his plans to impose ‘retaliatory tariffs’ on friends and foes alike. Now, a palpable fear and uncertainty have gripped many Americans as they watch their 401 (k) and retirement savings dwindle.

Families across America are getting worried about their future. Last Saturday, several thousands turned out to protest a new economic reality.
The situation is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue. It is a people issue. On Tuesday, President Trump reiterated his stance on staying the course. He truly believes this is the right thing to do for the country.

The Bulls see red, but they don’t know which way to run. They are running up and down, in circles, but mostly down. Financial experts claim the volatility of the Dow Jones Industrial (DJIA) markets is because of uncertainty. But is it uncertainty, or is the DJIA being manipulated? This question calls for our vigilance and critical thinking. Anything that man created, he can control.

To some, the stock market’s rise, fall, and erratic behavior is an excellent way to corral Trump into submitting to their wishes. Starting today (04-09-2025), President Trump slapped another 50% tariff on China, bringing the total tariff to 104%.

Trump’s No Pain, No Gain Strategy.

On Tuesday, the DJIA closed at 37,645.59−320.01 (0.84%) after a slight rally on Monday. Last Thursday and Friday, the Market lost 1600 points and 2200 points, respectively.
The President compares the Stock Market shock and awe to a doctor prescribing a painful cure for a sick patient. The patient doesn’t want the cure because it’s bitter. Experts believe the multi-prong approach is too fast and furious.

Folks are getting whiplashes. People are feeling the pain and waiting for ambulance chasers like Morgan and Morgan to bring them the gain.

U.S. State Department Releases New Warning for Popular Destination.

U.S. State Department Releases New Warning for Popular Destination.

With spring and summer travel just around the corner, the U.S. State Department warns travelers about increased risk in one of the most popular Caribbean destinations: the Bahamas.  

The State Department has a four-level system for advising U.S. citizens about international travel. Level 1 signifies “exercise normal precautions,” and Level 4 means “do not travel.”   

The latest advisory maintains the Bahamas at Level 2 and recommends visitors “exercise increased caution. ” It was also updated to “reflect crime, swimming-related risks, and information on traveling with firearms and ammunition.”  

 Is it still safe to visit the Bahamas? In general, yes. The State Department is not advising against travel to the Bahamas. Still, it does want travelers to be aware that “violent crime—like armed robberies, burglaries, and sexual assaults—can occur anywhere in The Bahamas. “Certain places like Freeport and the “Over the Hill” area in Nassau should be avoided or visited with extra precautions. 

The alert also concerns three other main risks that travelers should consider. 

Jet skis and boating  

According to the State Department, injuries and deaths have occurred due to a lack of regulation in boating in the Bahamas. The advisory warns that “watercraft may not be safe, and some operators are not licensed or insured.” Operators sometimes ignore local weather forecasts, going out even when it’s risky. Sexual assaults by jet ski operators have also been reported.   

Beach safety 

The State Department advises travelers to pay close attention to jet skis and other watercraft operating close to shore and never swim alone. They also recommend keeping track of local weather forecasts and staying alert for sharks, although attacks are rare.  

Travelers are more likely to run into trouble because they do not understand the risks of snorkeling and swimming, especially for extended periods or for those with less experience. “Swimmers and snorkelers have died after overestimating their physical fitness or health,” the advisory reads. 

For those headed to the beaches on or near downtown Nassau, the State Department also warns that travelers should “be aware of your surroundings and stay alert in public restrooms,” as sexual assaults have been reported in the area. 

Weapons and ammunition 

Firearms and ammunition are illegal in the Bahamas. This rule is strictly enforced, and some travelers have recently run into issues because of the small quantities of ammunition they inadvertently brought into their suitcases. You can face arrest, fines, and even jail time. 

 No matter where you travel, enrolling in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is recommended. This free service allows U.S. citizens and nationals traveling and living abroad to enroll in their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. By registering, you will receive any local safety alerts from the U.S. Embassy, making it easier to locate you in an emergency.

Bus Driver Violates Miami-Dade Weapons Policy, Tragically Kills Customers.

Bus Driver Violates Miami-Dade Weapons Policy, Tragically Kills Customers.

A Miami-Dade Transit bus operator, whose duty was to ensure the safety of his passengers, has been placed on administrative leave after a tragic incident. He shot and killed two customers, a deeply distressing event that occurred just before 3:50 a.m. Sunday morning.

A male passenger attempted to board the bus with an electric bike at NW 183 Street at NW 7 Avenue in the City of Miami Gardens. The Bus operator, suspecting the customer stole the electric bike, immediately sprang into action, like a great crime fighter. But is that what the county pays him to do? Fight crime? Drive the bus!

The bus driver fired six shots in the bus, striking the cyclist and his friend. Nobody steals a bike on my watch, is the mindset.
It was like Superman rescuing a “stolen bike” with Kryptonite on his back. And that’s just what it is. The bus driver saved a stolen bike but took two lives in his bike-saving mission.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue airlifted the victims to Aventura Hospital in critical condition. They were later pronounced dead from their injuries, police said.

Dade County transit officials are tight-lipped about whether the bus driver called his dispatcher for help before confronting the customers. However, they have announced that they have started the termination process for the gunslinging bus driver. MGPD released the driver after questioning. Miami Gardens police and Miami-Dade Transit are withholding the bus driver’s name.

Any county employee bringing an unauthorized firearm on county property is the equivalent of Superman riding around with Kryptonite on his back. He’s done. His fate is sealed. The City of Miami Gardens is a rough place. That is the same city where Miami-Dade County cop Danny Alvarez and his cronies dragged Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill by his neck out of his car.

Since January of this year, the Department has officially changed its name to Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. The new Sheriff, who was part and parcel of protecting police brutality in the past, is now involved in the investigation of this incident. She continues to sweep police misconduct under the rug.

Miami-Dade County Released Statement

“It is the policy of Miami-Dade County (10-07-36) to ensure that all employees can enjoy a work environment free from all forms of violence and threats. This policy includes an absolute PROHIBITION AGAINST EMPLOYEES CARRYING FIREARMS OR PERSONAL WEAPONS DURING AND IN THE COURSE OF THE EMPLOYEE’S OFFICIAL DUTIES, EXCEPT AS MAY BE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED.”

Rapper Sean Kingston And His Mother Found Guilty of Fraud.

Rapper Sean Kingston And His Mother Found Guilty of Fraud.

Ma Barker And Her Son

Rapper Sean Kingston, who once soared to the top of the music charts from humble beginnings, has now taken an unexpected turn in his career. Born Kesean Paul Anderson, he finds himself back where he started—at the bottom.

On Friday, a federal jury delivered a significant blow to the reputation of 35-year-old ‘Sean Kingston’ and his mother, 62-year-old Janice Turner, by finding them guilty of a “luxury fraud scheme.” This verdict has tarnished their names and cast a shadow over Kingston’s rise to fame, which began in 2007 when he co-wrote and performed the hit “Beautiful Girls,” using Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” in the background.

Ma Barker Syndrome.

The song “Beautiful Girls” has garnered over 1.5 billion views on YouTube. Kingston started at the bottom and scratched his way to a top spot in the music scene. His mother, Janice Turner, a virulent thief, went to prison in 2006 after she pleaded guilty to defrauding a bank out of $160,000. She served one and a half years. Afflicted with the Ma Barker syndrome, Janice Turner brought her son Sean Kingston into an irresponsible life of stealing.

Hence, last August, Ms. Turner and Kingston were arraigned in a one-million-dollar fraud scheme to which they pled “not guilty.” Today, a federal grand jury begs to differ on their pleas.
According to TMZ, Sean Kingston was visibly distraught and wept when the verdict was read.
This emotional response from the once-celebrated artist offers a glimpse into the personal toll of the legal troubles.
Last May, the Broward Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for Kingston. He was taken into custody while performing at Fort Irwin Army Base in the Mojave Desert.

Sticky Fingers vs Goldfinger.

Kesean Paul Anderson, aka Kingston, was born in Miami. In his earlier years, he moved to Jamaica to live with family members. Later, he returned to Miami to finish high school. With the release of “Beautiful Girls,” Kingston made it out of slum life. Success is sweet. And then he became greedy.
Sticky fingers syndrome took over his mind.

At the time of his arrest, the rapper was serving two years of probation. On the same day Kingston was arrested, the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) raided the rental property Kingston shared with his mother in Southwest Ranches, Davie, Florida.

“In 2018, a New York jeweler successfully sued the two for $301,000 after they scammed the store out of nine items.”
In the James Bond movie Goldfinger, the great novelist Ian Fleming wrote the famous lines, “Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.” Sticky Fingers vs. Goldfinger.

This fraud spree isn’t their first run of committing fraud by scamming people out of their money, goods, and property. It is a well-developed pattern. Like a crackhead addicted to crack cocaine, they could not stop stealing. They had to get their fix. Whenever there is an addict, someone must supply the dopamine enhancer.
‘Kingston’ enjoyed being the fixer who got high off her supply. Broward Circuit Judge Ernest Kollra called her the ‘fixer’ and the ‘nerve center’ of the criminal enterprise.’

The warrants issued last May for their arrest allege they stole money, $480,000 worth of jewelry, a $160,000 Cadillac Escalade, and furniture.
Kingston and his mother were found guilty of defrauding a Florida entertainment systems company in February 2023. The company alleged that he failed to pay $120,000 of a $150,000 bill for a 232-inch television it installed in his home. The TV is approximately 17 feet by 9.5 feet and covers a wall.

The mindset is one of living in a rental property. The companies who installed the goods would have to place a lien on the house to get paid. However, Sean Kingston and his Janice Turner won’t be affected because they live in a rental. Well, they are FAFO.
Now, a jury has convicted both of them of all five charges leveled against them, with each of them potentially facing up to 20 years in prison.
