​In an affidavit filed in April 2025, forensic video analyst Connor McCourt provided expert testimony supporting Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team's efforts to exclude a surveillance video from evidence in Combs' federal sex crimes trial. McCourt's analysis focused on a video depicting a 2016 incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where Combs is seen physically assaulting singer Cassie Ventura. According to McCourt, the video had been significantly altered, including being "sped up," which distorted the natural movement of individuals and misrepresented the timing of events. He also noted inconsistencies in the timestamps and indicated that the video file was created using ClipChamp.com, a video editing software, raising concerns about its authenticity and reliabilityFurthermore, McCourt's affidavit addressed additional iPhone-recorded footage, asserting that these clips distorted Combs' appearance, making him seem "more domineering" by altering his stature. He argued that the selective framing of these videos, focusing on specific details like footwear, potentially omitted crucial context. McCourt's findings were presented to bolster the defense's claim that the video evidence was misleading and should not be admissible in court. ​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.246.0.pdf

Friend of the show, Howie Mandell is filling in for Jason Alexander. He’s the only man balder than Jason so… it works! Lately, TikTok has been in the news with claims that it’s an arm of the Chinese Government - but with 170 million Americans on the app, is there a danger? Billionaire Frank McCourt thinks this perceived danger can be turned into a positive by using TikTok’s American userbase to supercharge a brand new and improved internet. Really, no really! Frank McCourt, Jr. is a civic entrepreneur and the executive chairman of McCourt Global, a private family company committed to building a better future through real estate, sports, technology, media, and capital investment industries. Additionally, he's the founder of Project Liberty, a far-reaching, $500 million initiative focused on leading a movement of people who want to take back control of their lives in the digital age by reclaiming the internet. Frank also owns the French football club Olympique de Marseille and formerly owned the Los Angeles Dodgers. *** IN THIS EPISODE: How influential are apps like TikTok? The weaponization of social media has empowered mob rule. McCourt founded Project Liberty to take control of our data & privacy. TikTok poses an existential threat? People should have the right to own and sell their own data. Would Howie lose his 11 million followers if Frank buys TikTok? TikTok influencers don’t know who their followers are unlike other platforms. Influencers, not social media platforms should own their followers. The Chinese Government can feed disinformation to 170 million Americans; to get them to believe what the Chinese want them to believe. Mr. Beast, Kevin O’Leary… …and maybe Howie, are joining Project Liberty. But will Byte Dance actually sell U.S. TikTok? Jason returns and has thoughts! *** FOLLOW FRANK: Website (McCourt Global): mccourt.com Website (Project Liberty): projectliberty.io Website (Fix TikTok): thepeoplesbid.com Instagram: @pro_jectliberty X: @pro_jectliberty *** FOLLOW REALLY NO REALLY: www.reallynoreally.com Instagram YouTube TikTok Facebook Threads XSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miljardairs doen bod op TikTok zonder het krachtige algoritme

De toekomst van TikTok in de VS zou gered kunnen zijn, met een overnamebod van een Amerikaanse partij waar twee Amerikaanse miljardairs achter zitten. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. TikTok heeft via het Chinese moederbedrifj ByteDance volgens het statement van de bieder een bod ontvangen van een consortium onder de naam The People's Bid, vrij vertaald 'het bod van de mensen'. Dat gaat om de Amerikaanse 'assets' van TikTok, dus voor ons Europeanen zou TikTok in Chinese handen blijven. Daar achter zitten twee sleutelfiguren: ten eerste miljardair Frank McCourt, eigenaar van de bekende honkbalclub Los Angeles Dodgers en tevens drijvende kracht achter Project Liberty, een beweging die een open netwerk-protocol ontwikkelt. Daarnaast zit de Canadese ondernemer Kevin O'Leary, voor sommigen wellicht bekend van de tv-show Shark Tank. Beiden hebben het afgelopen jaar meermaals uitgesproken dat ze TikTok wel willen kopen, daartoe werd dit consortium vorig jaar al opgericht. We weten alleen nog niet voor hoeveel geld, maar in hetzelfde statement zeggen ze voldoende investeerders achter zich te hebben - waaronder grote private equity-fondsen, families en kapitaalkrachtige individuen. Ook zeg McCourt zo het platform in leven te houden zonder het krachtige aanbevelings algoritme voor al die filmpjes - dat is een boeiend punt omdat vaak gesuggereerd is dat ByteDance daar geen afstand van zou willen (of mogen, onder druk van Chinese exportrestricties) doen.
