Utah Megamansion Raided by Federal Authorities Looking for Oil Tycoon Charged in $300 Million Scheme
Briefly

James Jensen and his wife Kelly were arrested during a federal raid on their luxurious $9.2 million mansion in Sandy, Utah, accused of laundering money linked to a $300 million oil smuggling operation from Mexico. The operation allegedly involved drug cartels and their two sons were also arrested. Controversy surrounded the events leading to the arrest, with claims that U.S. marshals had to break down their door, though the defense argued that James voluntarily opened it. Their family backgrounds include notable public service histories, raising questions about the implications of their arrests.
The couple was arrested on April 23 by U.S. marshals at their $9.2 million mansion, accused of laundering money and smuggling more than $300 million worth of oil.
Reports say this led to marshals breaking down the door to the mansion located on S. Eagle View Drive in Sandy, while the attorney claims James agreed to open the door.
