Thanksgiving 2024 hit different - this is the third time Puff Daddy/P-Diddy has been denied bond by federal courts.
That’s once in September, and twice in November. Combs has been detained for more than two months on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The New York federal judge overseeing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal case ruled to deny bail, Thanksgiving Eve, on the music mogul’s bond request; citing evidence showing Diddy to be a “serious risk” of witness tampering and proof he has tried to hide prohibited communications with third parties while incarcerated.
In a five-page order, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said evidence shows Combs to be a “serious risk of witness tampering,” particularly after he communicated over the summer with a grand jury witness and deleted some of his texts with the witness.
The judge also cited evidence showing that Combs violated Bureau of Prisons regulations during pretrial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn when Combs paid other inmates to use their phone code numbers so Combs could make calls to individuals who were not on an approved contact list.
The judge said there was evidence that Puff told family members and defense counsel to add other people to three-way calls so their communications would be more difficult to trace and that Puff made efforts to influence a trial’s jury pool or to reach potential witnesses.
P-Diddy's “willingness to skirt” jailhouse rules to conceal communications was “strong evidence” that any conditions of release would not prevent similar behavior. The judge said defense claims that Combs stopped using one particular phone technique criticized by prosecutors was belied by the fact that Combs apparently used it again Sunday, two days after his bail hearing last week.
