Strange Cellmates in a Brooklyn Jail: Sean Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried

Mr. Combs is sleeping in the same dormitory-style room as Mr. Bankman-Fried, the crypto mogul who was convicted of fraud.

Summary

This podcast reports that Sean Combs, a prominent music executive, is currently housed in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, sharing a dormitory-style room with Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. While Combs is awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, Bankman-Fried is serving his 25-year prison sentence. Despite the jail's history of overcrowding and poor conditions, Combs' lawyer has praised the detention center's staff for their professionalism and support, while requesting a speedy trial for his client.
