We put a call through to Tap Jets in Miami and they confirmed the story. They however refused to speak further with us saying they have an exclusive deal with another Nigerian site and as such they are only at liberty to speak with US based media houses.
Our investigations also revealed that a defense attorney named Deborah Prager has been appointed to represent Dammy Krane who is now facing a 9-count charge including fraud and grand theft.
We reached out to the office of Deborah Prager in Miami Dade and we were asked to check back on Monday for details. Our findings also reveal that Under the prevalent Florida law, Grand Theft is any intentional and unlawful taking of property valued at $300.00 or more.
Grand theft is a felony offense, with penalties that may include prison, probation, fines, restitution, and a permanent criminal record.
Nigeria

Dammy Krane on a private jet
Nigerian singer, Oyindamola Emmanuel popularly known as Dammy Krane
has landed in hot soup on foreign soil after being accused of fraud in
Miami, Florida - United States of America.
He was arrested by security operatives yesterday evening for grand
theft, credit card and identity fraud and is currently being held at the
Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, Miami, Dade County on
confirmation from an online bail officer.
The former Hypertek singer whose career has gone cold due to lack
of musical hits allegedly used a stolen credit card in giving himself a
luxury treat on a private jet, eating exotic meals as well as sharing
pictures on Instagram to impress his fans.
The verified twitter account of Tap Jets, a private airline company
has come out to claim responsibility for handing the singer over to the
police tweeting that he attempted to book Tap Jets flight using stolen
credit card numbers. They vowed to prosecute him to the full extent of
the law.
This has been described as expository piece on the fake lives most
Nigerian celebrities live. His close friend, Saucekid has also being in
and out of jail in America over fraud related offences.
Such a crime in America could carry a maximum fine of $1,000 or so,
and a sentence of up to one year in the county jail. As the value of
the property received increases, so does the penalty. Felony credit card
fraud in which property of significant value was obtained might be
punishable by a $25,000 fine and 15 years in prison.
Meanwhile, Dammy Krane has been posting on Twitter to play down
reports on his arrest but reports gathered have it that his social media
managers might be behind the sactions as part of a damage control
mechanism.
