Diddy is currently on trial for several federal charges, and the hearing has been ongoing since late May. Now the prosecutors have begun looking into the rapper's finances, revealing credit card charges amounting to over $900k, and other massive purchases, all reportedly in an effort to tie the rapper's company, Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment, into the case.

According to the evidence presented by the prosecutors, led by Special Agent DeLeassa Penland of the US Attorney's Office, Diddy used an American Express card for various expenses to the amount of $944,059 in monthly charges. In another case, in 2010, a bill of $108,656.00 was made in a single day. The latter was paid off using a Signature Bank account belonging to Boy Worldwide Entertainment.

He also owed the InterContinental Hotel $46,786 for a room that was damaged during one of his "freak off" parties.

The central core of the prosecutors' arguments regarding this particular point seems to lie in the American Express card charges and the Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment held bank account used to pay off these charges, as of the writing of this article.

Alongside the financial aspects, the prosecutors also showcased more "freak off" videos to the jurors, captured on Cassie Ventura's laptop, as well as more texts between Cassie Ventura and Diddy.


Diddy reportedly had a number of accomplices to his alleged crimes

The rapper reportedly has a number of accomplices to his alleged crimes, including a number of celebrities, as well as Diddy's former chief of staff, Kristina Khorram. Other figures associated with the case include a former associate of Diddy, Brendan Paul, as well as male escorts The Punisher, Jules Theodore; paralegal Ananya Sankar; a drug dealer, Guido; and more.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is leading a team of lawyers for over 120 lawsuits filed by plaintiffs, stated that the list of accomplices would be named at some point and that many of the accomplices were "household names" in an interview at a Houston news conferance, here quoted via The Washington Post's article on the matter on October 1, 2024:

"The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken. The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs. And there’s a lot of names."

The attorney continued:

"The names that we’re going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we’ve been told, are names that will shock you."

The attorney added:

I’m talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders, that is those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing. And I’m talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are."

Diddy is facing trial on five charges, alongside the aforementioned lawsuits. The charges date back to incidents throughout the early 2000s and 2010s.

The charges arrived after a federal investigation led by the Department of Homeland Security in May 2024. This included searches of his property as well as questioning him at the airport. Diddy faces more than two decades of prison time if convicted on all charges, as well as the likelihood of financial penalties from the civil lawsuits.
