R. Kelly Ordered To Surrender $27k In His Inmate Trust Account

R. Kelly’s story is one of amazing heights and demonizing lows. Now he is facing another trial for his crimes, and the bad news keeps coming for the disgraced singer.

The New York Post reports that Kelly has been ordered to empty is commissary account dry. That means the $27k he has won’t go for Ramen noodles and toilet paper. He has to give it up as restitution to his victims.

Federal Judge Ann Donnelly ordered the Bureau of Prisons to turn over $27,828 from Kelly’s inmate trust account in a Chicago lockup to be put in an interest-accruing account until she determines how much money should be paid in restitution to his victims.

R. Kelly’s music was removed from playlists all over, and he’s not raking in the cash he once was at all. At a time like this, losing the funds he has is not what he wanted at all. Then again, the unspeakable nature of his crimes just might warrant such an order.
