Diddy’s infamous cellmate revealed

Combs is being held in custody alongside an infamous fraudster while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering allegations.

Sean Combs has been placed in the same cell of a Brooklyn jail with convicted crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.

According to The New York Times reports, both are sleeping in a large dormitory-style room at the Metropolitan Detention Center alongside several other defendants.

While a source close to officials confirmed the news, the Bureau for Prisons declined to speak on the matter.

The agency said in a statement that it “does not provide information about conditions of confinement, including housing assignments or internal security practices for any particular incarcerated individual.”

Bankman-Fried has been held at the facility since autumn last year.

He was convicted of orchestrating a massive fraud scheme with the cryptocurrency exchange he founded, FTX, and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

However, while his lawyers work in an appeal, Bankman-Fried asked to stay at M.D.C.

According to reports by Daily Beast, the facility is “plagued by chronic understaffing, constant lockdowns, outbreaks of violence, delayed access to medical care, and a rash of suicides and death.”

A source told People that Diddy was being “treated like any other detainee awaiting trial.”

Last week, Diddy, 54, was indicted on three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty.

It’s since been alleged that he held “Freak Off” sessions in which women were coerced to engage in sexual activities with male prostitutes while he masturbated, and that it was often recorded. He was also accused of providing drugs to “keep the victims obedient”.

Authorities have claimed Diddy ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises and Combs Global, among others. They alleged he used “violence, use of firearms, threats of violence, coercion, and verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse” to fulfil his sexual desires, according to the unsealed indictment obtained by Fox News Digital.

Combs’ lawyers have repeatedly argued for him to be released on bail. In their latest bid, they proposed that he pay a $50 million bond and hire a security team to monitor him 24/7 to a judge. However, a judge rejected the proposal, and stated he had concerns that Combs could make attempts to intimidate or bribe witnesses.
