Diddy is still trying to get a deal cut so he can be released on bail. His legal team has offered that the security team that works at Diddy's Miami home would turn over the visitors log on a daily basis to the feds. They are also saying that visitors will be limited to family, property care-takers and friends who are not co-conspirators in the federal case. Diddy has also made the claim that he would limit female visitors to his family members or mother's of his children.

Diddy's lawyer tried to claim that Diddy is not a bully or brute and seems to try and make the case that there was more to the story with "Victim One" assumed to be Cassie. I'm sure you've seen the security footage of Diddy in the hallway in a towel, seemingly beating her pretty bad. The lawyer claimed that she was going through Diddy's phone and found out that he had more than one girlfriend and that she hit him with a cell phone and took his clothing (which explains why Diddy was in a towel). The lawyer also made the claim that she had cheated on Diddy with a personal trainer that Diddy provided for her. Just so we're clear here, that still doesn't excuse the beating that we all saw on the security footage.

Once all was said and done, however, the judge denied bail and Diddy will remain in custody.

Diddy pled "not guilty" to all the charges he's facing, which was expected. The prosecution is laying out their case as to why they want him held with no bail/bond. They are claiming that they are afraid that he will "intimidate" witnesses or will try to obstruct the investigation. The feds are saying that many of the people that came forward were scared of Diddy trying to interfere. They're also concerned with him being a flight risk considering he has the money and means to leave the Country. They're also saying that there were narcotics found in his hotel room when he was arrested. Allegedly there was a "pink powder" found that had previously tested positive for Ecstasy.

With Diddy facing a max of 15 years in prison if he's convicted, they claim that he's a flight risk and are asking for NO BAIL be set for the man that created Bad Boy.

Diddy's side proposed a $50 Million package to secure his release on bail. It's said that Diddy would put up his $48 Million home in Miami and his mother's home which is worth $2 Million as collateral He's also willing to wear a GPS monitor and his travel would be limited to Florida, New Jersey and New York.

Diddy has been indicted on 3 charges - sex trafficking, racketeering and kidnapping

From the indictment, which ranges from 2008 to the present, TMZ said this - 

Members of the Combs enterprise allegedly engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.

Also from the indictment, they detailed what was seized during the raids of his Miami and Beverly Hills homes - 

various freak off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant They also seized firearms, including 3 AR-15's with defaced serial numbers and a drum magazine.

Diddy is due in court this am.

Diddy was taken into federal custody last night in New York City. 

The story is that Homeland Security came to the midtown hotel that Diddy was staying at and made the arrest. His arrest, we believe, is in connection to the ongoing criminal investigation involving him and alleged sex trafficking allegations along with other offenses as well. If you remember, this is the investigation that led to search warrants being executed at Diddy's homes in Beverly Hills and Miami. Over the past few months, a grand jury has been hearing testimony from a number of accusers. 

Diddy's attorney told TMZ - 

"We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community."

He also followed that up with - 

"He is an imperfect person but is not criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court."

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams has said that Diddy was taken into custody based on a sealed indictment that was filed in the Southern District of New York.
