Sean “Diddy” Combs has been reportedly moved into the same jail housing unit as Sam Bankman-Fried at a federal detention center in Brooklyn.
According to NBC New York, both SBF and Diddy are currently at the Metropolitan Detention Center. According to the original sources who talked with NBC, the unit houses around 19 to 20 inmates, including high profile defendants, and cooperators (inmates requiring protection).
Combs was arrested based on sex trafficking allegations, whereas Sam Bankman-Fried is a former crypto executive who was extradited to the US after getting arrested in the Bahamas based on seven criminal charges. These included campaign finance law violation, money laundering, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and wire fraud.
As for Diddy, he could not get a bail last week as he is awaiting a trial based on his federal charges. As of yet, the rapper didn’t plead guilty to the charges. Currently, the music mogul remains in custody in NYC since getting arrested on 16th September at his Manhattan hotel.
