Sean Combs, the rapper known as “Diddy,” and Bankman-Fried are bunking in the same dormitory of a Brooklyn jail, according to a source familiar who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Combs has been held at Metropolitan Detention Center for almost a week after being denied bail on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Bankman-Fried has been imprisoned at the same jail since last year. He is serving a 25-year sentence on fraud charges after stealing $8 billion from customers of his FTX crypto exchange. He funneled money into his crypto-trading fund Alameda Research, venture capital investments, political donations, and used it for personal spending.
