Is the party over?
A mysterious Miami party boy, Daniel Liburdi, along with three others, has been indicted by the US Attorney’s Office in Florida for alleged conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The alleged financial ruse raked in millions, and led to the purchase of three luxury mansions on ritzy Hibiscus Island, as well as one in the Caribbean, according to the feds. One of the island mansions is worth over $40 million.
Liburdi, 35, has made a name on the Miami, Fla., social scene for throwing over-the-top parties at one Hibiscus Island home which has royally irked some of his wealthy neighbors.
Liburdi’s Instagram is full of pictures showing a lavish lifestyle, including topless pool shots, a Blade helicopter and a yacht in Monaco.
The buff dude was previously part of a group of area residents who battled Miami Beach officials over a recent crackdown on extravagant, “commercial-grade” bash during last year’s Art Basel.
(During the December festivities, Leonardo DiCaprio’s charity, Re:wild, threw an intimate bash at one of the Hibiscus Island homes that brought out starry guests including Jamie Foxx, Steve Aoki, Daymond John and Soleil Moon Frye. Though the house was not rented directly from Liburdi.)
Liburdi along with three others, is accused of raking in $128,144,908.66 in a scheme that included submitting fraudulent applications to U.S. financial institutions to obtain merchant processing accounts, according to a release from the US Attorney’s office on the newly unsealed indictment.
“After fraudulently obtaining these merchant accounts, the conspirators were then able to accept credit and debit cards to further an e-commerce enterprise which used high-risk and unscrupulous sales techniques,” it reads.
They then allegedly used the proceeds to purchase things like advertising services in order to move “criminal proceeds in and between conspirator-controlled bank accounts,” the press release claims.
The group is facing jail time for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, and could have to forfeit the money and the multimillion dollar homes that legal papers allege “were purchased with proceeds of and involved in the offenses.”
One home at 101 North Hibiscus Drive was purchased for over $40 million in August.
The mansion of over 10,780-square feet, has seven bedrooms, a gym, steam room, “yoga terrace,” pool and private dock, according to a listing.
Liburdi was named as the sole owner of that home in an emergency motion brought by his neighbors this past December, alleging he was throwing, “continuous large-scale, organized events and house parties with commercial grade sound systems, lighting, service staff, private security, firework displays, traffic congestion, and event promotion by third parties.”
The neighbors also alleged that “law enforcement has been contacted on [13] separate occasions… due to continuous instances of excessive loud noise, crowds, and blocking off public streets.”
Other homes listed in the indictment include 269 N Hibiscus Drive, bought in 2023 for $13 million, and 205 N Hibiscus Drive, purchased in 2024 for nearly $15 million and currently up for rent at $37,000 a month.
A fourth property, located on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, was purchased for nearly $4 million in 2020.
A Miami source tells us he was always a mystery man. “He came out of nowhere,” says the source, claiming that Liburdi would tell people he had family money.
We hear he also has three Ferraris.
The case will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Adam J. Duso.
Liburdi did not comment, and doesn’t yet have an attorney in the case, we hear.
