So September comes around and we all see that Sean Combs is in New York, his native home, because he's born in Harlem. He's at Central Park hanging out. I think he's like playing hacky sack, doing things that people do in Central Park. A couple hours later, he gets arrested in the lobby of his hotel.

And we find out that there's an indictment and the indictment gets released when he is in the Southern District of New York. and he's pleading not guilty. Within the indictment, the original first indictment, we see there are three charges.

Racketeering conspiracy, which most people would hear about as RICO, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, as well as transportation for the purpose of prostitution. Three counts. The most serious of the counts has a possible sentence of life without the possibility of parole.

And so these are serious, these are wide-ranging allegations because within that racketeering charge, and you'll hear it as there being a criminal enterprise, there are underlying crimes within that criminal enterprise. Sex trafficking, forced labor, arson.

When you talk about a RICO case, what you're really saying is that this person has a criminal enterprise, and that criminal enterprise is moving towards a singular goal. In Diddy's case, the allegations are the freak-offs, right? The thousand bottles of baby oil, the elaborate recording of sex acts that allegedly lasted for days, where people had to get IVs, where...

The arson is a big one for me, and I think also is a connective thread throughout a lot of the allegations, because if you go to Cassie's lawsuit, she says that at one point in time, her and Sean Combs were on a break.
