New Bail Restrictions for DJ Envy Associate After Feds Find Gun at His Home

A New Jersey associate of radio host DJ Envy, who is charged in an alleged multimillion-dollar real-estate Ponzi scheme, was hit with new bail restrictions on Wednesday after federal investigators found a firearm at his home.

While executing a search warrant at Cesar Pina’s home on Tuesday, investigators found a 9mm Glock—with a full magazine—“under a pile of clothes in his main bedroom,” Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn Silane said at a hearing. She added that they also found “other gun items,” including a rifle magazine and shotgun rounds.

Prosecutors said the discovery is concerning considering Pina is an ex-convict who has been out on a $1 million bond since October for allegedly bilking dozens of clients who invested money to join his property portfolio. After he was hit with one count of wire fraud, Pina and his wife told the court there were no firearms in the home. Silane also argued that Pina violated his bond conditions by continuing to engage in real estate transactions and contacting witnesses in his ongoing case.
