Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Saavedra wrote in a five-page letter, “The Government has been informed by the BOP that the Defendant had accumulated substantial funds in his inmate trust account.” According to the prosecutor, R. Kelly had $28,328.24 in that account and the Bureau of Prisons has seized that money.
“The BOP has confirmed that it left $500 in the Defendant’s trust account for Defendant’s use in MCC Chicago,” the letter states. “Accordingly, as of this writing, the BOP has restrained a total $27,828.24.”
