A federal grand jury has indicted New Jersey real estate investor and social media personality Cesar Humberto Pina, also known as “Flipping NJ,” for his alleged involvement in a wide-ranging financial crime scheme, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced Thursday.

The 47-year-old Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, resident faces charges including two counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to launder drug proceeds, two counts of money laundering, and one count of bribery tied to federally funded programs. The indictment accuses Pina of running a multimillion-dollar Ponzi-style investment fraud, laundering funds he believed to be drug proceeds as part of a sting operation and attempting to bribe a New Jersey official. His initial court appearance and arraignment have yet to be scheduled.

“Cesar Pina is alleged to have misappropriated millions of dollars of peoples’ hard-earned money, laundered money for narcotics traffickers, and bribed a politician in furtherance of real estate projects. This multi-year torrent of criminal activity hurt investors around the United States, facilitated the scourge of narcotics trafficking, and undermined confidence in our public officials. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to root out these types of illicit activities that threaten our communities.”

Pina has cultivated a significant social media presence to promote his real estate ventures. His Instagram profile, also under the handle @flipping_nj, has a reach of approximately 287,000 followers. Beyond social media, Pina expanded his influence by co-hosting real estate seminars across the United States alongside DJ Envy, a well-known radio personality.
