Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly sharing space in jail with crypto crook Sam Bankman-Fried.
A Tuesday report by NBC, citing three sources familiar with the matter, said that the two are sharing the same "barrack-style" living space in a unit designed for approximately 18-20 inmates.
Combs and Bankman-Fried are currently both being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City.
SBF Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison—How Many Will He Actually Serve?
On Thursday morning, a Manhattan federal judge handed Sam Bankman-Fried a 25 year prison sentence for his criminal involvement in fraud and conspiracy at FTX. But how many years is the disgraced crypto founder likely to actually serve in a federal prison? The answer is fairly easy to determine, given the rigid codes and calculations used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to evaluate prisoners, incentivize them, and manage their sentences. Because Bankman-Fried received a sentence longer than o...
Feds arrested rap superstar and entrepreneur Combs earlier this month and hit him with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, including for coercing women into participating in lavish "freak-off" sex parties.
The United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York alleges that the Grammy award-winning producer abused and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and the obstruction of justice.
A judge denied a $50 million bail proposal from Combs’ lawyer and jailed him until his trial starts.
Combs’ lawyer did not immediately confirm or deny the NBC report.
Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year sentence for his part in the collapse of his crypto company, FTX.
The once-massive crypto brand went bankrupt in November 2022; Bankman-Fried was arrested and then hit with fraud charges for criminally mismanaging the exchange. Lawyers for Bankman-Fried—better known as “SBF”—earlier this month appealed his sentence, arguing that their client never received a fair trial. He is currently serving 25 years in prison.
Tumblr Blog Linked to Ex-Alameda CEO Explored Race Science, ‘Imperial Chinese Harem’ Polyamory
As onlookers attempt to make sense of the ongoing, mind-boggling collapse of crypto exchange FTX, details have begun to surface concerning the unorthodox internal practices and beliefs of the once-dominant company’s leadership. Of particular note is former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried’s on-again, off-again former girlfriend, and a bizzare Tumblr blog that she appears to have maintained for years. Until this week, Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX’s founder and CEO, lived with nine...
Following the collapse in late 2022, details emerged about how tightly interwoven the leadership team was across FTX and sister firm Alameda Research, with Bankman-Fried, former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, and other executives living in a Bahamas penthouse polycule—a romantic network of overlapping sexual relationships.
Ellison, who will be sentenced later Tuesday for her own role in the FTX debacle, had previously written about race science and "imperial Chinese harem" polyamory on a Tumblr blog two years before the companies folded.
