Alfredo P. Gonzalez, currently incarcerated in Colorado, sought $666,000 in damages, asserting that Combs and his associates had tarnished his reputation in New York’s criminal underworld.

😂

Ah that's why he sued, and didn't go through the "proper" cartel channels.

I kinda hope this exposes the cartel guy to discovery. I mean, you know. To actually make a claim that they were harmed.... they're going to have to open up the financials and, uh, everything.

I’m disappointed in that judge.

According to Gonzalez’s complaint, the trouble began when he refused to assist Combs’ alleged requests to traffic minors for parties.

That's one way to put more of a spotlight on Combs.

These accusations have triggered a federal investigation, with reports suggesting that authorities are looking into potential sex trafficking charges.

Was Combs ever in Epstein's plane?

That article linked to another article about 50 Cent doing an investigative docuseries over Diddy, and apparently Diddy kept tapes of his parties, and that’s why folks were hesitant to speak out.
That seems familiar….

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I missed that. Thank you for pointing that out. Looks like Combs is an Epstein rather than a customer.

50 Cent seems really confident. This is looking worse and worse for Diddy.

There’s always the possibility they studied together for their blackmail, extortion, and human trafficking finals.

Diddy do it?

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stop. I hate this fucking timeline. Lemme off!

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

On one condition; you go get help. Otherwise don't you dare leave us here alone!

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

God damn right! I'm not propping the door open, I'm ripping it off the hinges.

Oh also, bring me a can of Booty Sweat.

My man needs to listen to the ten crack commandments.
