Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul and music industry entrepreneur, and Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, are now sharing living quarters in a Brooklyn federal detention center, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn is housing both inmates in a specialized unit designed for defendants requiring extra protection. This barrack-style area, which accommodates between 18 to 20 inmates, houses two figures from recent legal proceedings.
Combs, 54, was arrested last week on charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. The music executive now finds himself in the same unit as Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of crypto exchange FTX.
Bankman-Fried, 32, was convicted in November of fraud involving over $8 billion. In March, he was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of FTX.
The Bureau of Prisons has not commented on the specific living arrangements of inmates, citing privacy and security concerns.
Also in April, SBF publicly denied any intentional illegality from Brooklyn jail, noting his ethical misjudgments and expressing a commitment to repaying FTX customers.
Earlier this year in February, SBF’s lawyers sought to reduce his prison sentence to between 63 and 78 months, citing his moral character and contributions to society.
