On June 11, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey addressed the court privately, stating that the prosecution had uncovered what it believed to be a serious issue with Juror No. 6, which they described as a “lack of candor.” The government asserted that the juror had failed to be fully honest during the jury selection process and had possibly withheld important information that should have been disclosed to the court. Comey stressed that the prosecution was very reluctant to raise this concern but felt obligated to bring it forward after verifying the issue through further review.Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro responded forcefully, arguing that the prosecution's move was a thinly veiled attempt to strike a Black juror from the panel in an effort to influence the jury's racial composition. Shapiro called the government's request improper and requested additional time to prepare a detailed written response citing legal precedent. Judge Subramanian granted the request, allowing both sides to submit written arguments and indicating that he would reserve a ruling on the matter until later in the week after reviewing all submissions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Expert weighs in on what Diddy juror's alleged 'lack of candor' means for trial | Fox News

How the FBI Used 1,000 Bottles of Baby Oil to Build a RICO Case Against Diddy: Digital Evidence Breakdown The federal investigation that brought down Sean "Diddy" Combs represents one of the most sophisticated law enforcement operations in entertainment history. This comprehensive analysis examines how federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, DEA, and ATF coordinated a multi-agency takedown that began with Cassie Ventura's explosive lawsuit and culminated in RICO charges carrying a potential life sentence. Our investigation reveals the intricate timeline from November 2023 when Cassie filed her $20 million settlement lawsuit to the dramatic March 2024 simultaneous raids on Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami mansions. Federal agents discovered over 1,000 bottles of baby oil allegedly used in "Freak-Off" parties, three AR-15 rifles with defaced serial numbers, and thousands of videos that prosecutors claim Diddy used for blackmail. This video breaks down the digital forensics operation that analyzed over 10,500 terabytes of data from seized phones and computers. We explore how the FBI's Computer Analysis and Response Team, consisting of nearly 500 highly trained agents, extracted evidence even from devices Diddy thought were secure. The investigation utilized cutting-edge cell phone forensics tools, GPS tracking, metadata analysis, and social media enhancement techniques to build an airtight case. The Southern District of New York's prosecution strategy transforms individual allegations into a comprehensive RICO conspiracy case, treating Diddy's business empire as a criminal enterprise. Led by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meredith Foster, Emily Johnson, and their team, prosecutors argue that Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises, and related businesses facilitated sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, and witness intimidation. We analyze the legal significance of charging a celebrity under racketeering laws typically reserved for organized crime families. The case demonstrates how modern federal investigators approach complex criminal enterprises in the digital age, using sophisticated analytical tools to map relationships, track communications, and visualize criminal operations spanning decades. Expert commentary from former federal prosecutors explains why this case could result in a life sentence and how it compares to other high-profile RICO prosecutions like R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. The investigation's speed—from initial lawsuit to federal indictment in less than a year—reveals either pre-existing intelligence or the extensive nature of the alleged criminal activity. #DiddyInvestigation #FederalRICO #DigitalForensics #LawEnforcement #SouthernDistrictNY #HSIRaids #CelebryJustice #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FederalCharges #CriminalEnterprise Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Music journalist Touré has publicly criticized Jaguar Wright for spreading unsubstantiated claims about Sean "Diddy" Combs, particularly her assertions of rescuing women from his alleged "freak-off" parties. In a TikTok video, Touré questioned the credibility of Wright's statements, noting that these gatherings reportedly involved only Combs, his then-girlfriend Cassie, and male sex workers, leaving no evidence of Wright's involvement or of her aiding any victims. He emphasized that these events were intimate affairs held in hotel rooms, not large-scale parties where someone could intervene unnoticed. Touré has previously labeled Wright a conspiracy theorist, especially after her unfounded allegations against Jay-Z and Beyoncé on Piers Morgan's show, which led to legal action and a public apology from Morgan. He contends that Wright's claims lack factual basis and contribute to the spread of misinformation surrounding Combs' ongoing legal issues.Defense attorney Brian Steel faced significant criticism for his aggressive cross-examination of "Mia," a key witness in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. Over two days, Steel's questioning was described by prosecutors as "harassing" and "humiliating," with Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey accusing him of yelling, sarcasm, and suggesting Mia was lying. The judge, while not finding the tone overtly inappropriate, cautioned Steel against being repetitive and noted concerns about his approach. Steel's tactics, including highlighting Mia's past affectionate messages to Combs and suggesting financial motives, were seen by some as potentially deterring other victims from coming forward.

On Monday, June 2, 2025, during the ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, his former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym "Mia," continued her cross-examination. Defense attorney Brian Steel presented the jury with messages and a 2013 video in which Mia expressed admiration for Combs, referring to him as "one of the biggest inspirations in my life." Steel questioned the credibility of Mia's allegations by highlighting these past expressions of affection. Mia responded by explaining that her actions were a result of psychological manipulation and abuse, stating she was "brainwashed" and constantly sought Combs' approval due to the emotionally abusive environment she was in. She emphasized that despite her past messages, her courtroom testimony about the alleged assaults was truthful .The prosecution objected to the defense's line of questioning, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey accusing Steel of conducting a "humiliating" cross-examination that bordered on harassment. Comey argued that such tactics could deter other victims from coming forward. Judge Arun Subramanian acknowledged the concerns but stated he had not observed any misconduct, allowing the cross-examination to proceed. Mia's testimony is central to the prosecution's case, which alleges that Combs operated a criminal enterprise involving abuse, coercion, and exploitation. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, and faces a potential life sentence if convicted .to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(1) Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial live updates: Ex-assistant 'Mia' resumes testimony after sexual assault claims

The Prosecution: During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(1) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNN

One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire.

The Prosecution: During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Prosecutors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial have encountered a significant challenge: they are unable to locate a key witness, identified as "Victim-3." This witness was expected to provide crucial testimony regarding allegations that Combs coerced her into sexual acts. During court proceedings on May 7, 2025, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey informed the judge that both the witness and her attorney have been unresponsive, and there's uncertainty about her appearance even if subpoenaed. This development raises concerns about the prosecution's ability to present a comprehensive case.Despite this setback, the prosecution plans to proceed with testimonies from other accusers, including Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The absence of Victim-3's testimony could impact the prosecution's strategy, but they remain committed to presenting the available evidence.

Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that!Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he's developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong, is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action.In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it's learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you're leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you'll take something away from this conversation.Tune in to hear:Bravery isn't innate - it's a skill you can build over timeMisconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies backHow companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovationWhy naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and culturesWays to be brave every single day - no crisis required!If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.LINKS AND RESOURCES:

Is the Trump Justice Department establishing a precedent that those who promote the administration's agenda can evade criminal accountability? In an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance and CAFE Contributor Elie Honig, former SDNY Assistant U.S. Attorney, break down the alleged quid pro quo between the Trump administration and NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
