Here’s more from Insider:

According to the District Attorney’s website, Syer first started working with Kevin Hart in 2015 when he was hired to purchase several items for the comedian. As part of this initial agreement, Syer was given the comedian’s banking details to make authorized purchases. But prosecutors say Syer continued to make more than $1 million worth of “unauthorized charges on those credit cards over the course of 19 months.”

“The investigation revealed that the defendant used his business’s credit card processing account to make unauthorized charges on Mr. Hart’s credit card. Once those credit card charges were processed by Syer’s bank, the proceeds poured into Syer’s checking account,” the DA said.

According to the DA, Syer charged hundreds of thousands on Hart’s credit cards for jewelry and watches. 

“With Mr. Hart’s stolen money in the defendant’s bank account and at his disposal, the defendant then purchased thousands of dollars of fine art and other collectibles, and at least 5 Patek Phillipe watches valued at more than $400,000,” the DA said. “Among these art and collectible purchases was a Sam Friedman painting, at least 16 Bearbrick collectible dolls, 5 KAWS collectible dolls, and two Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandouliere bags.”

After Syer’s arrest this week, a search of his home also uncovered bout $250,000 worth of cash and goods, according to the report. 

Syer is scheduled to return to court on Feb. 17. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.
