Diddys Journey from Oddball to Sharing Prison with Sam Bankman Fried NBC

Coin World Report:
According to reports, notorious hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and cryptocurrency scammer Sam Bankman Fried are sharing a prison cell together.
On Tuesday, NBC cited three informed sources who said that the two are sharing the same “barracks-style” living space in a unit designed for approximately 18-20 inmates.
Both Combs and Bankman Fried are currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Earlier this month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested the rap superstar and entrepreneur Combs on charges of extortion conspiracy and sex trafficking, including forcing women to participate in lavish “freaky” sex parties.
The Southern District of New York’s federal prosecutor’s office alleges that the Grammy-winning producer abused and coerced women and others, and led a conspiracy involving extortion, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
A judge denied Combs’ lawyer’s request for a $50 million bail and ordered him to be detained until the trial begins.
Combs’ lawyer did not immediately confirm or deny the NBC report.
Bankman Fried is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for his involvement in the collapse of his cryptocurrency firm FTX.
The once-massive cryptocurrency brand went bankrupt in November 2022; Bankman Fried was arrested and charged with fraud for mismanagement of the exchange. Earlier this month, Bankman Fried, also known as “SBF,” appealed, arguing that their client had never received a fair trial. He is currently serving his 25-year sentence in prison.
Details have emerged about how the leadership teams of FTX and its sister company Alameda Research were closely intertwined after their collapse at the end of 2022. This includes Bankman Fried, former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, and other executives residing in a luxury apartment in the Bahamas, forming a complex web of overlapping relationships.
Ellison, who was sentenced later on Tuesday due to her own role in the collapse of FTX, had previously written about racial science and “polygamy in China’s harem” on her Tumblr blog in the two years leading up to the collapse of the two companies.
