Forty-three-year-old Andrew K. Davis, better known as Flippa Mafia, was released from the East Jersey State Prison (EJSP) on Tuesday, October 4, 2022, after serving nine years in jail.
Just in time for his 44th birthday on October 31st, the deejay was released early from prison on parole.

He was sentenced to a maximum of 17 years in prison for heroin possession, and to up to eight years for money laundering.

All have since been released.
Flippa Mafia was apprehended in 2013 and charged in a January 10, 2014 indictment as a result of “Operation Next Day Air”. This was an investigation conducted by the New Jersey State Police, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Division of Criminal Justice.
During the 2013 investigation, detectives seized over 26 kilograms of cocaine, worth approximately US$910,000, two handguns, and over US$500,000 in cash. The operation spanned California, Jamaica, and New Jersey.
