Well, I mean, I think the obvious answer has got to be Cassie Ventura. Cassie Ventura, for a number of reasons. One, according to the government, she is victim number one. And she does describe a lot of the allegations that the government is putting forward against Sean Combs, whether it be the racketeering conspiracy as to how this criminal enterprise operated, the different players.

She's named a few of the security guards, for example, D-Rock. Ruben, also the sex workers and dancers who participated in these freak-offs. She's named them all because she participated in hiring them, according to her, because Sean Combs made her do so. And then, of course, just hearing the other details, like Kid Cudi's car being hit with a Molotov cocktail.

That's really giving us direction as the case continues.

All right, so it matters for two reasons. One would be corroboration. So corroboration is when one witness takes a stand and says, this is what happened, this is how it happened, this is where it happened. And then you have another witness who is also privy to those events and saying, yes, Cassie Ventura was abused, she was harmed in this way.

But another reason it also plays into this, and you're looking at this quote here as well, is Capricorn Clark is a part of this case in her own right because of that kidnapping allegation that feeds into the racketeering conspiracy.

She's telling us about individuals who participated in kidnapping her and attempting to go after Kid Cudi and threatening his life, according to her allegations, and that feeds into that criminal enterprise that the government is saying Sean Combs is at the head of.

Yeah, so in court it took them a little bit of time to land this plane, but it did come out pretty well. They had it up there as a piece of evidence. I think the idea here is, is that people keep going back to Sean Combs. There were allegations that he had pushed her at one point in time and then she quit.

Then she went to another job where she was making over $30,000 more than she was at Sean Combs' job. and then she decided to come back again and then quit or got fired and then came back.
