Kevin Hart reportedly fell victim to a million-dollar scam, which was carried out by one of his employees.
According to TMZ, the comedian’s personal shopper, Dylan Syer, is accused of defrauding Hart of $1.2 million between October 2017 and February 2019. New York prosecutors say Syer began working for Hart in 2015 and began building the actor’s trust through authorized purchases; however, as the years went by, Syer allegedly began using Hart’s credit card to pour money into his own account.
Queens County D.A. Melinda Katz says the personal shopper used the stolen funds to buy extravagant items, including everything from a Sam Friedman painting and multiple Louis Vuitton bags to 16 Bearbrick collectible pieces and five Patek Philippe watches valued at more than $400,000. The DA is now looking to seize Syer’s assets up to the amount he allegedly stole.
