Salome Jackson, who gained prominence as Betty Idol on the reality television series “Love & Hip-Hop” and “Cartel Crew,” was arrested for her role in an alleged real estate fraud scheme in Florida.
WFTV reports Jackson’s arrest followed an 11-month investigation into the sale of a vacant parcel in Orange City that was listed through a local real estate office. However, the property was fraudulently listed by suspects who used fake identification to fool the real estate office into believing they were the owners.
The victims of the fraud wired approximately $200,000 to a fraudulent business account, and the funds were then moved through multiple shell businesses and bank accounts that were mostly based in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Investigators determined that many of the account holders were also identity theft victims
Warrants were obtained warrants for about 14 bank accounts and investigators tracked down debit card activity, purchases, and large cash withdrawals across New York and Miami. As a result of this pursuit, investigators said they linked approximately $179,000 of the stolen funds to Jackson using her bank records, receipts, and flight records, along with surveillance video and ATM footage.
Jackson faces several charges including money laundering.
