In this episode, Myron and Chad discuss the latest in the D.J. investigation into Diddy and his possible involvement in the murder of his ex-wife. They also discuss the possibility that Diddy is a flight risk and why he may not be a danger to the community. Also, Chad and Myron discuss why Diddy has not been charged yet and why they believe he will be able to get out of this without bail and avoid the possibility of a lengthy jail sentence. They discuss what they believe is likely to happen to Diddy in the coming days and give their best guess on whether or not Diddy will be released on bond and what that means for his chances of being released from custody and being able to return to the United States and avoid a lengthy prison sentence. The episode also includes a special guest appearance from former NYPD detective and HSI New York Field Office Investigator Myron O'Donnell, who joins us to discuss the case and gives us his thoughts and analysis on the latest developments in the investigation into the Diddy/Baby Mama/Diddy case and the possible involvement of the NYPD in the case, as well as his thoughts on Diddy's possible role in the ongoing investigation into other high profile cases involving other prominent hip hop artists like Chance The Rapper, Diddy, Baby Mama, and other high-profile clients like Jussie Smollett and Diddy s ex-girlfriend, D'Angelo. . , Myron talks about the investigation and gives some insight into the investigation, and reaction to what we have seen so far and what we can expect going forward. in this case. and gives his perspective on what we may be looking forward to in the future of the investigation. of this case and what to expect from the investigation in the next few days. , Chad gives us the inside scoop on what to look forward to and what the future could look like. from this case and Chad gives his best insight into what we ll be hearing from the case and what he s going to see from the U.S. attorney s office of Diddy. on the investigation in the near future and much more! from the DA s office in regards to this case, including what we know and what s to come. about Diddy and the impact of this investigation and how it s likely to come in the upcoming hearing. & much more. Thank you for tuning in!
00:07:19.000Until this point, I want to give you some theories that I would love for you to react to, and then I want to give you the floor to kind of like break it down as you see fit.
00:07:28.000So, I had said last week, I've seen two things.
00:07:33.000We've seen the subpoena get fired off for Daphne Joy, which is 50 Cent's Baby Mama, and Diddy related to them at some Miami hotels.
00:08:22.000We're getting some details that he was arrested in the lobby of an expensive New York high-rise.
00:08:31.000And by the way, Chad, I'll show you guys this afterwards, but the U.S. attorney is saying that the indictment they plan to unseal in the morning.
00:08:40.000Myron, what are your thoughts about all this?
00:08:42.000I mean, there's a lot to unpack there, man.
00:08:45.000So what do you want to go into in particular as far as this case?
00:08:50.000Because this is all, you know, a very complex situation with this overall investigation.
00:08:54.000What do you want to go into particularly?
00:09:05.000Like, in a situation where, like, just, you know, go back to your HSI days, you know what I mean?
00:09:14.000And if you guys are monitoring or had an active investigation slash grand jury proceeding on a high-profile target, how would that have taken place?
00:09:24.000And then how would potentially an arrest look like?
00:09:30.000So, I think the number one thing here to keep note of is that he was cooperating with the authorities, right?
00:09:36.000Like, his attorneys were pretty much talking to the United States Attorney's Office the whole time, like, you know, trying to, hey, look, he's going to be traveling here, he's going to do this, etc.
00:09:44.000And I think the reason why he did that was he understood that an indictment is imminent, he's going to get arrested at some point, and he looks at it like, look, The charges are coming down.
00:09:56.000We probably know what they're going to do, and we can talk about that next.
00:09:59.000So he's looking at it like, I need to be out on bonds to fight this case, right?
00:10:03.000I don't want to be in jail during the proceedings.
00:10:15.000Hey, a matter of fact, I'm going to be in New York so I can be close to you guys, because it's HSI New York that did this in the Southern District of New York, which is one of the most aggressive Prosecutorial offices in the country By the way, I don't know how they score efficiency,
00:10:31.000but it feels like they almost get the most amount of cases or high-profile cases.
00:10:36.000They get some of the most high-profile cases.
00:10:38.000They were responsible for indicting the mafia in the 1980s with Paul Costolano and these guys back in the day.
00:10:50.000A lot of the big hip-hop cases out of New York get indicted out of Southern District of New York.
00:10:54.000So it's a big district and they're one of the most aggressive at USA's offices, one of the most prestigious.
00:11:00.000So he's like, look, I know the indictments are coming down.
00:11:02.000I'm going to go ahead and cooperate and I'm going to put myself in New York.
00:11:05.000So if you guys have access to me, any questions, etc.
00:11:08.000And obviously they indicted him and he was right there.
00:11:10.000So I think the play from his legal team was, hey, We're going to make a case that when entitlements do come down, when we go to your initial parents and we try to get bond, they're going to give you an on bond because you've already shown that you're not a flight risk.
00:11:21.000The two biggest things that they look for whenever you're doing your bond hearing are, are you a danger to the community and are you a flight risk?
00:11:27.000Obviously by him saying, yo, I'm cooperating and I'm doing whatever, He's going to probably surrender his passport.
00:11:59.000We've seen those people being taken into custody.
00:12:02.000Obviously, the level of the flight risk clearly changes when you're an international suspect versus one like Diddy, who, as you said, is cooperating.
00:12:13.000Yeah, if you're a foreign national and no status in the United States, it's an automatic detention.
00:12:20.000The only way that you would get bond as a foreign national with no status in the United States is the HSI agent would need to parole you, which wouldn't make sense.
00:13:31.000They probably got the true bill today, this afternoon sometime.
00:13:35.000They went to go pick him up at the hotel.
00:13:37.000What's going to happen is he's going to have his initial appearance in front of a magistrate judge tomorrow, probably in Manhattan.
00:13:42.000When he's there, they're going to unseal the indictment and they're going to hit him with the charges.
00:13:46.000I predict it's probably going to be sex trafficking and racketeering because, and I can talk about why it's going to be racketeering here in a second, but he's going to go to his initial appearance in front of a magistrate judge.
00:13:55.000That magistrate judge is going to assign him to a district judge because he's been indicted, so now his case is going to go to a district judge for his initial appearance because it's, you know...
00:14:04.000Mandatory by law that you go see a judge within 24 to 72 hours of you being arrested.
00:14:09.000So he's going to get the charges read to him that are on the indictment.
00:14:13.000He's not going to actually enter a plea.
00:14:20.000Hey, what does the government want to do as far as, like, his bond?
00:14:23.000Which I'm assuming him and his legal team are probably posturing to try to get him released on a bond tomorrow, is what I'm assuming.
00:14:30.000Which is why he's been so cooperative and flew up to New York and kind of made himself available to the feds, because he knew that this indictment was imminent.
00:14:36.000Okay, do you believe that that magistrate judge, which, you know, is going to be tasked with the initial appearance, do you think that, you know, again, we're talking high-profile case, it's a lot of man hours, a lot of money.
00:14:50.000Do you think that they are prepared to deal with a potential bond application or a bond, you know...
00:14:59.000Almost initial appearance to listening to bond tomorrow or something that they will probably put off to another date?
00:15:07.000I think they'll probably kind of figure it out tomorrow I think the whole purpose of him cooperating with the government the way he has was for this very moment so that he can get bond and if he doesn't get it on this one There'll probably be a bond hearing shortly thereafter Maybe a couple days after where they just will strictly have a bond here because he's not going to be entitled to what's called a preliminary hearing to establish probable cause because he's been indicted by a grand jury and So the next step is going to be the arraignment,
00:15:32.000which is where he's actually going to formally enter his plea.
00:15:35.000And obviously there's going to be a potential bond hearing if they need it.
00:15:38.000But I think more than likely he's either A, going to get the bond tomorrow, or B, there'll be a bond hearing specifically for that where his attorneys are going to argue on his behalf and say that he's not a fly risk or a danger to the community, which are the two main prerequisites to get yourself a bond.
00:15:52.000He'll probably surrender his passport if he hasn't already.
00:15:55.000But I predict he's probably going to get out on bond, which is why he's been so cooperative with them in the first place.
00:16:02.000So let's deal with some, you know, minute details.
00:16:06.000And I know you've been there where you're the main case agent and you've gotten a case, you've presented it, and I don't know, maybe worked it up, maybe your chain of command, but eventually they got approved to go to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
00:16:20.000They say, yes, we're going to go with this.
00:16:23.000Somehow there is either an indictment or it's just written up in a complaint and you now have to serve the arrest warrant.
00:16:44.000In your experience, what was this like?
00:16:48.000Again, you know, obviously you're saying that you believe that there was a presentment today that the true bill of indictment came through.
00:17:11.000So, I guess I could talk about the case agent perspective, then we'll go into the indictment.
00:17:16.000So, For the audience that's wondering, because they might not understand some of these terms.
00:17:20.000So guys, the case agent is the agent, or the special agent in this case, that's going to be responsible, that's running that investigation, right?
00:17:26.000He's running the case, he's coordinating directly with the U.S. Attorney, right?
00:17:30.000The AUSA, Assistant United States Attorney, that's doing the case, and they're kind of working together.
00:17:34.000Now, the feds work a lot differently than the state, and what I mean by this is, the special agent and the prosecutor are on the phone like almost every day.
00:17:40.000They become like best friends, because you don't have the same level of authority, you know, counter to, you know...
00:18:08.000They need to call a prosecutor, a federal prosecutor, and say, look, I got XYZ. I want to go ahead and prosecute this case, which rarely happens with probable cause arrest.
00:18:17.000Most cases at the federal level are done by indictment, as you guys are seeing here.
00:18:20.000And I can explain that whole process if you want me to.
00:18:22.000But regardless, Didi in this case was indicted.
00:18:25.000So that means that this agent went in with the prosecutor.
00:18:46.000Yeah, if a local police pulls you over this and third and they have probable cause, they could just arrest you and hit you with the charges when they get to the station, whatever the case is, right?
00:19:38.000And then, you know, that was a probable cause arrest in that case.
00:19:41.000That doesn't happen often at the federal level.
00:19:44.000Most of the time, you're doing a long-term investigation, you're working hand-in-hand with a prosecutor, which is why they're close, like I explained before, and you're building up a case that might take months, if not years, to build up.
00:19:54.000And on top of that, you had to go to the AUSA prior and say, look, I'm doing this investigation, this is the target, this is the organization, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:01.000You gotta sell it, because AUSAs have a lot of...
00:20:05.000Discretion which cases they take and which cases they don't take.
00:20:07.000They might say, hey, that's not good enough for us.
00:20:11.000We're not going to go ahead and take that.
00:20:12.000So, probable cause arrests aren't as common at the federal level.
00:20:16.000You typically have to go through an AUSA and get indicted after a long-term investigation.
00:20:19.000That's why the feds don't have the same Arrest authority as the state and locals do.
00:20:23.000State and locals can arrest you all day if they see you with drugs or they see that you're drunk or disorderly conduct, whatever the fuck it may be.
00:20:29.000They have a lot more power for probable cause of arrest because district attorney's offices are a lot more flexible than United States attorney's offices.
00:20:38.000And by the way, you're giving us information that we would have not known, because I think a lot of times when we think of law enforcement, we think, you know, obviously we hear about 97% conviction rate when it comes to the feds, but we think pretty much law enforcement is law enforcement.
00:20:52.000We're just thinking that's the prosecutor's office.
00:20:54.000That's precisely why they win so many cases.
00:20:57.000Because the AUSAs have such discretion, they don't take cases unless...
00:22:06.000At what point do you pass it over to the U.S. Attorney's Office?
00:22:11.000And so how much of the work here is there like an agent or maybe a couple of agents doing versus, okay, this is when we definitely know this is in the U.S. Attorney's hands and they're making these plays.
00:22:26.000So you break it down from at least externally what we've seen.
00:22:58.000And at that point, especially if you're dealing with someone high profile, After the second or third or fourth interview where you might have a good witness or two, you're going to the United States Attorney's Office early on, right?
00:23:08.000And you're saying, look, this is the target.
00:23:28.000It's going to be big, a big W for them, a big press release.
00:23:31.000So, I'm assuming once they figured out who the guy was, right, Diddy, they probably were working with the United States Attorney's Office fairly early on this, is what I predict.
00:23:41.000Given the nature of who the individual was.
00:23:44.000And also, keep in mind, there was a successful prosecution with R. Kelly prior to this.
00:23:47.000So, if I'm not mistaken, some of the AUSAs that were on that case were also involved in this R. Kelly case.
00:23:55.000Sorry, we're involved in his DDKs that were involved in the RKLDK, sorry.
00:23:59.000Yeah, so let me ask you this question, right?
00:24:01.000And you mentioned your prediction, and I guess you could expound on your prediction for charges, and I would love to hear you explain that before, but in following up to that, I also want you to, you know, answer the question of, okay,
00:24:31.000And maybe I'm wrong, but do you believe that this indictment solely falls on Sean Diddy Combs?
00:24:38.000Or maybe there are three, four, five, six, a dozen other people?
00:24:43.000Maybe not charged with everything, but kind of ancillary people who...
00:24:50.000Yeah, so the reason why they're gonna have to use the racketeering statute, right, is because A lot of these crimes happened a long time ago,
00:25:06.000Like, some of these crimes are beyond the statute of limitations.
00:25:09.000So, in order for the prosecutors to kind of bring in some of those allegations that happened in the 90s or maybe even the 80s or early 2000s or whatever, they're gonna need to go ahead and prove that he was committing these crimes for a period of time,
00:25:27.000And the criminal organization is ongoing, or the criminal enterprise is ongoing.
00:25:31.000So that is why they're going to have to do this under the auspice of RICO, so that they can go ahead and say, look, we're going to bring in all these other crimes that were done decades ago, because he's been doing it for a while.
00:25:43.000So sex trafficking is considered a crime that falls under the RICO Act.
00:25:48.000There's drug trafficking, there's violence, witness intimidation, there's extortion...
00:25:55.000You know, all these different types of crimes that they typically had there historically to go after organized crime like the Mafia, whatever.
00:26:01.000As long as they can prove that he's still committing these crimes to some degree, they can bring in all those allegations from prior.
00:26:09.000But they need to do it under the RICO statute to be able to bring them in so they get around this whole statute of limitations problem.
00:26:19.000So, sex trafficking, and I've heard a few, you know, us YouTubers on here, you know, obviously, 99.9% and you're obviously the 0.1% that has worked in law enforcement.
00:26:31.000Like, we're either like ghetto lawyers or we're going off like what we either know from either our experience dealing with the criminal justice system or just kind of like looking at these things a lot.
00:27:15.000You know, a federal authority start to look at it in.
00:27:19.000So I'm going to just kind of give the more practical agent side of it, right?
00:27:23.000So the thing with sex trafficking, and this is very contrary to what people think, it's not as common as people think it is, right?
00:27:30.000What people always conflate sex trafficking with is human smuggling.
00:27:34.000Bringing in illegal aliens into the United States for a sum or a fee, those individuals are brought into the United States, their families are being extorted, etc.
00:27:45.000Now, does it lead to human trafficking later on when they get into the United States and they're forced to work jobs or whatever it may be?
00:28:04.000Number two, as far as sex trafficking goes...
00:28:07.000um it's actually fairly hard to prove a lot of the times when people think that they got a sex trafficking case i know this because i've been on so many of these different raids is what ends up happening is you bust the prostitution ring right you thought oh yeah we got we had these uh girls are being trafficked whatever you talk to them and they all love their pimp they don't want to cooperate they don't want to say that they were being held or whatever you know some of them are lying to protect them some of them We're trafficked or whatever,
00:28:31.000but the point is that it's very difficult to get witnesses because sometimes they don't want to necessarily cooperate.
00:28:36.000So what ends up happening is you just end up getting everyone arrested for solicitation charges, right?
00:28:40.000Ends up being just a prostitution ring bust.
00:28:42.000Now, the way to get around that though, right, which is how the feds come in a lot of the times, is if the girls are under 18, it's an automatic human trafficking charge.
00:28:54.000So that's where they're going to get him.
00:28:56.000Some of these girls, from what I understand, were under 18 at the time when Diddy was messing with them and bringing them around in different states.
00:29:04.000That's where I think they're going to get him.
00:29:05.000I mean, I'll have to look at the indictment to see, but this is my prediction.
00:30:46.000I think she was in, I believe, let me make sure, Detroit, I believe, and then he was either in New York or And let me just make sure to chat.
00:31:07.000And then, essentially, he called Sean Diddy Combs on the phone and convinced the teen to fly to New York City.
00:31:15.000Before leaving the lounge, they said the worker took her to the bathroom where he smoked crack with her and apparently had her have sex with him first.
00:31:27.000Then, he put her in a private jet from Pontiac, Michigan.
00:31:32.000She landed in Teterboro New Jersey, which this is where Jay-Z and everybody else, everybody who got a private jet who goes to New York, lands in Jersey at Teterboro.
00:32:01.000So that's where they're going to get him.
00:32:03.000And I know some of the audience here might be shocked by me saying that human trafficking isn't as prevalent as people think, but it really isn't.
00:32:09.000You know, it's really the human smuggling that is the extremely common thing that people tend to conflate because they're two completely different crimes.
00:32:16.000But the big way, and I know this from being on human trafficking task forces and working with these guys closely, a lot of the times when they do these busts, what ends up happening is it's prostitution ring and they don't want to cooperate against a pimp.
00:34:51.000There's been rumors about, well, the 1999 shooting, the club shooting that supposedly, you know, the woman who was shot in the face and who believes that Diddy was the one who pulled the trigger, but New York State did not charge Diddy with that crime.
00:35:08.000That particular situation, we're hearing about the Tupac situation.
00:35:12.000We're hearing about maybe other, and I had said this earlier, but I want to get your take on it.
00:35:19.000Remember the first person when they did the raid that was arrested, the only person that was arrested, not detained, was supposedly the drug mule.
00:35:50.000And then maybe add some violence in with...
00:35:53.000They would do it to pad up the racketeering, right?
00:35:55.000So when you're hitting people with RICO, right?
00:35:58.000Like you have certain crimes in there that you want to show to establish that it's a criminal enterprise and they're committing crimes in furtherance of the organization, right?
00:36:31.000Because some of these women that are victims complained and said, Oh yeah, I was under the influence of drugs.
00:36:36.000They were readily available to me, etc.
00:36:37.000So they can use that to kind of substantiate and prop up this RICO charge.
00:36:41.000Because the reason why they're using the RICO is because the RICO allows them to bring in all these other cases in that might have been kind of fallen by the wayside due to statute of limitations.
00:37:41.000So, because a lot of people, because, okay, so, the grand jury is nothing more than a group of your peers that sit in a room and deliberate on cases based on probable cause, right?
00:37:53.000So, not to be confused with a trial jury, right, where it's like, you know, 12, 6 or 12, whatever that may be, right?
00:38:02.000So, a grand jury, right, the AUSA convenes, and they typically serve for, you know, three months, six months, whatever it may be, and they'll sit there, and the grand jury typically convenes once a week, depending on how busy the United States Attorney's Office is, how often they're indicting cases,
00:38:18.000So what ends up happening is, the AUSA comes in with their case agent, and the AUSA asks the case agent questions, right, and the case agent presents evidence to the case.
00:38:29.000Now, keep in mind, I want to make this very clear.
00:38:31.000It's just to establish probable cause, guys.
00:38:33.000Probable cause is not that high of a threshold, right?
00:38:35.000But like I said before, when you're indicting, the AUSA pretty much is ready to go to trial.
00:38:40.000So it's probable cause just to get the indictment, but obviously the AUSA is looking long-term to win a trial.
00:38:45.000So you go in there, and I've testified literally hundreds of times, you go in there, they sit you down, they swear you in, They ask you questions, right?
00:38:53.000The AUSA asks you questions on the case, you explain the case, then they open it up for a Q&A for the grand jury to ask you questions.
00:38:59.000You answer any questions in there about the case, anything that wasn't clear, you walk out the grand jury room, you and the AUSA, you give them some time to deliberate, you know, depending on how complex the case is, that will dictate how long it takes them to deliberate and then you get something called the true bill of indictment after the fact.
00:39:14.000That true bill of indictment is filed with the clerk, and then you go ahead and you get an arrest warrant from the judge.
00:39:19.000And that to answer your question that you mentioned before, hey, why'd they pick him up tonight versus tomorrow?
00:39:25.000Since they had the grand jury convening, right, and they knew that he was going to be indicted today, I guarantee they had probably agents watching him the whole time, and they saw he was at the hotel lobby, they're like, bro, we got eyes on him, it's safe to do it, we technically have an arrest warrant for him now,
00:39:41.000and in the arrest warrant, if you look at any federal arrest warrant, it says at the bottom, you are hereby commanded to arrest XYZ. Right?
00:39:47.000So if you got him in plain sight and it's safe to affect the arrest, you kind of have to arrest him because you've been commanded by a magistrate judge now that you have that arrest warrant or a district judge, depending on whatever it is.
00:40:00.000But regardless, you got an arrest warrant from the judge.
00:40:02.000So they probably had eyes on him the whole time.
00:40:06.000Arrest warrant was signed by the judge.
00:40:08.000They just picked him up right then and there.
00:40:09.000That's why I predict why they picked him up this evening.
00:40:13.000So you're not thinking that maybe, you know, even though he seems like he has to be cooperative, you don't think that maybe, I don't know, he was like, oh, I gotta go back to Miami, and maybe he hit his plane guy, like, hey, let's go back to Miami,
00:40:30.000because I don't know if he would know when the indictment would be coming down, and they're like, no, no, no, fuck that.
00:40:36.000We're not going to wait until he gets on another plane.
00:40:41.000I mean, I'm thinking, you know, typically the most simple answer tends to be the answer.
00:40:44.000What I'm predicting is they probably have been having him, they've had him under surveillance for a few days now, especially knowing that the grand jury convened and was going to indict him today, kind of to see if he was going to run or see what would happen.
00:40:53.000And at this point, with the way his attorney was talking about the fence.
00:41:43.000People think that tapping a phone is very easy.
00:41:45.000Getting a federal Title III, which is what it means to get live communication, guys, is extremely fucking difficult.
00:41:52.000And I can tell you guys this because I've written an affidavit and gotten a Title III before.
00:41:55.000It's very fucking hard to get one because here's the thing.
00:41:59.000When you write search warrants, right, a phone tap is the most intrusive...
00:42:04.000Almost one of the most intrusive law enforcement techniques that you can use.
00:42:07.000So typically, the more intrusive the search, the more probable cause you need to conduct that search.
00:42:12.000And I've said this before, I'll say it again.
00:42:14.000You need more probable cause to listen to someone's phone than to fucking arrest them.
00:42:17.000And the reason why is because you're not only infringing on that individual's, you know, privacy, right?
00:42:23.000Or violating the Fourth Amendment to a degree while you're doing it legally.
00:42:26.000You're also listening into the private conversations of other individuals that may or may not be subjects of investigation.
00:42:32.000So when you're listening to their phone, it's one of the highest standards of getting a search warrant because you're listening in and it has to go through a bunch of different people.
00:42:48.000So what I predict is, since this crime was a crime of things that occurred Years ago, it wouldn't make sense, and I actually doubt that they would have the probable cause required to get a phone line tapped to actually listen to stuff, because I don't know if you want me to go into this,
00:43:04.000but to get an actual Title III, you need dirty phone calls, you need informants, you need a pen register, which this is all, you know, if you really want me to go into this, how a phone tap works, I can, but, because I've done it, but I'm 99% sure that they didn't do any Title III intercepts on this investigation because this is a more historical investigation where you're interviewing witnesses of crimes that occurred in the past,
00:43:27.000which is why they're using the racketeering statute because they're trying to bring in these crimes to kind of save them from statute of limitations problems.
00:43:51.000There's something called a ping warrant, right, which I've done this a million times when I would follow drug traffickers around, where you're able to track the phone, right, and get an update.
00:44:01.000You know, it's up to you how you want to do it, but you can get it 30 minutes, hour, etc.
00:44:04.000And you basically know where the guy is going, right?
00:44:16.000Because you could be like, look, this guy's going to be having a pattern of behavior where he's going to be picking up drugs from individuals and meeting at stash houses, etc.
00:44:23.000We need to know where he's going, right?
00:44:25.000Or you can use this to put a tracker on a vehicle, too.
00:44:28.000Where you, hey, he's involved in this type of crime.
00:45:06.000Let's say I'm watching a drug trafficker and I know that he's involved in dealing cocaine or methamphetamine, whatever, right?
00:45:12.000And I see that he calls this one certain phone number the most.
00:45:16.000I'm going to do a subpoena on that phone number, identify who that individual is, and I find out, oh, this guy has a criminal history for trafficking drugs.
00:45:54.000Now, again, you know, and I feel like I'm almost dick riding paws, but you're the perfect person to have on at this moment.
00:46:03.000But I do have to ask this question because, you know, again, I keep saying Bradford Cohen, he's also said, he's also like kind of analyzed this point, but I want to hear your analysis of it.
00:46:16.000So it made the news, it made TMZ, that they, one of the last things, and you tell me where you think this came from.
00:46:24.000Do you think this came from the U.S. Attorney's Office or the Grand Jury?
00:46:29.000But there was subpoenas sent out to Miami hotels that had to do with the whereabouts and also activity of not only Diddy, but 50 Cent's baby mama Daphne Joy.
00:46:44.000Number one, I want you to analyze that, but then second of all, does that make it almost seem like Daphne Joy might be either potentially a target or maybe she's someone that's cooperating that they're just validating what the fuck she's told them?
00:47:01.000And then the other thing I want to say too, because some people are saying they always tap the phones.
00:47:04.000I also want to be clear here that a Title III wire intercept to listen to phones through the regular court system is much different than a FISA wire tap where you're basically doing on national security grounds.
00:47:15.000If you're doing a FISA phone wire tap, Obviously, the threshold is not as high as a regular Title III because you have national security implications, so you're able to get it much easier.
00:47:24.000So if you're a spy or trying to do anything against the United States that affects national security, they're going to be able to wiretap your phone way easier.
00:47:31.000Now, to answer your question as far as subpoenas go, so here's the thing.
00:47:34.000So every agency operates differently here, but when it comes to HSI, HSI has something called admin subpoena power.
00:47:41.000And what that means is you can go into a business or you can go ahead and serve a phone company or whatever it may be, and you can say, look...
00:47:47.000I need information on X, Y, Z, and you serve them a subpoena on, you know, maybe it's an immigration case, a customs case, a drug case, whatever it may be.
00:47:55.000They have different statutes that they can use to gain information via subpoena.
00:48:01.000Then you also have something called a grand jury subpoena.
00:48:04.000I'll give you an example of what the two mean, right?
00:48:06.000So, let's say I have a target of investigation and they have a Google account, right?
00:48:13.000And I want to figure out who is the subscriber to that Google account.
00:48:17.000I send an administrative subpoena to Google to tell me who the user is on that account.
00:48:22.000Google will furnish me the information because I gave them a legal document.
00:48:26.000However, after 30, 60, 90 days, they will notify the subscriber, look, the feds asked us about your account.
00:48:34.000And they can go ahead and disclose that to their customer, right?
00:48:43.000Now, if I hand them a grand jury subpoena, now they can't say shit.
00:48:48.000So think of it as a grand jury subpoena as a more powerful way to get information.
00:48:53.000It's a little bit more of a pain in the ass to get one, but you typically want to use grand jury subpoenas, especially for banks.
00:48:58.000Because if you give a bank an admin subpoena...
00:49:01.000Some of them might not honor it, or they'll say, well, we're going to notify our account holder within a month or whatever.
00:49:07.000Obviously, you don't want them to find out that they're the subject of investigation, so you want to give them a grand jury subpoena.
00:49:14.000Admin subpoenas are typically reserved for phone companies.
00:49:16.000Phone companies typically won't tell the subscriber.
00:49:19.000They'll just give you the phone number, who it belongs to, address, that type of shit, basic stuff.
00:49:23.000So, with all that said, The fact that we know that there were subpoenas sent to these hotels leads me to believe that they probably served them with administrative subpoenas, right?
00:49:38.000Which is, you know, they work, but you deal with the issues where it's not necessarily kept to the same level of secrecy as a grand jury subpoena.
00:49:45.000Because if you go ahead and you talk about the grand jury subpoena being served on you, well, now you can go to jail for that.
00:50:13.000They got to do everything through grand jury subpoena.
00:50:15.000And it depends on the agency and their administrative powers.
00:50:18.000But yeah, giving an admin subpoena will get you the information sometimes, but you have to deal with the risk.
00:50:23.000As a case agent, you got to make this decision.
00:50:24.000It's more of a pain and that's to get a grand jury subpoena, but you'll be protected.
00:50:28.000However, you can do an admin subpoena and get it quickly and maybe potentially deal with them disclosing it to the subscriber.
00:50:34.000That's why I would only use admin subpoenas for phone stuff.
00:50:37.000I would never use it for anything else because a company like a hotel Could potentially disclose that after a period of time.
00:50:45.000Okay, so are you in the belief, and I guess this is what I was trying to get to, so it was interesting that Daphne Joy's name was kind of tied to Diddy in that particular situation.
00:50:57.000Do you think that that means that she's either a potential witness or a potential person being investigated?
00:51:29.000And by the way, this was 831, which is obviously August 31st, 2024.
00:51:33.000I want to read you this and then you can interpret it.
00:51:35.000It says, the federal authorities investigating Diddy to potentially, to possibly get a criminal indictment against the music mogul are chugging along, issuing a new grand jury subpoena related to a hotel in Florida, according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ,
00:51:51.000which you obviously have to know, they have their sources.
00:51:54.000So they did a grand jury subpoena, okay.
00:51:57.000Yeah, TMZ is the first one also figured out that Diddy's in custody.
00:52:01.000You know, they have a source in the Southern District, trust me.
00:52:06.000Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York got a subpoena requiring the fancy Miami hotel to cough up documents and other evidence related to Diddy.
00:53:29.000That's just like, you know, that's what you would call kind of a catch-all subpoena, where you're not just going to subpoena every room that was under his name, but you're going to subpoena all the rooms that were under associates, girlfriends, employees, etc., so that you kind of have a broad scale and you know exactly...
00:53:47.000And the reason why they probably are doing that is because they probably heard testimony from one of the witnesses that said, hey, I was assaulted at this hotel during this time, blah, blah, blah.
00:53:58.000For us to cover our bases so we can corroborate, right?
00:54:01.000Because the thing is with witness testimony is you need to be able to corroborate it with actual real facts, right?
00:54:06.000So if one of the witnesses says, hey, I was sexually assaulted at this hotel on or about this day or month or year, right?
00:54:15.000What they're going to do is they're going to say, okay, cool, we need to be able to confirm that.
00:54:19.000So they're going to go back at those hotel records, show that Diddy did indeed have a room at this hotel at that specified period of time.
00:54:24.000And what that will do is that will beef up that witness's credibility in court.
00:54:29.000So your whole job, whenever you're an agent, right, and you're doing these cases, is...
00:54:33.000When you have a witness, you need to be able to independently corroborate everything they tell you through outside pieces of evidence that kind of stand on their own.
00:54:42.000And hotel reservations is a great way to do that.
00:54:44.000That's why I'm assuming they probably went ahead and did the grand jury subpoenas.
00:54:48.000And they did it through a grand jury subpoena to make sure that it can come into court.
00:54:51.000So I think them putting her on the grand jury subpoenas is just to make sure that they get everything and they don't miss any rooms.
00:54:58.000Because if any nefarious activity did occur, if Diddy has half a brain, he's not going to put it under his name.
00:55:03.000He's going to put it under the people that work for him or people that were with him.
00:55:08.000Okay, so I'm going to ask you a very difficult question, which again, you may not be able to answer with facts at this moment, because this is super preliminary, but...
00:55:16.000You know, 57 accused Daphne Joy of being like a sex worker.
00:55:28.000You know, Again, going off what Bradford Cohen said, it feels like maybe Cassie's team leaked that footage of Diddy beating her, that maybe potentially the feds couldn't look at her to be like,
00:55:44.000hey, well, okay, I know he was abusive to you, but it looked like you were the person who was hitting up all the escorts and flying the girls in.
00:55:56.000When you hear Daphne Joy's name being mentioned in a subpoena, Is it possible that there could be maybe women, maybe managers, maybe assistants that get charged along with Diddy,
00:56:13.000or at least were investigated to say, hey, this guy didn't do it by himself.
00:56:29.000And they're going to use that as a bargaining chip to ensure that all of them cooperate against Diddy.
00:56:34.000Diddy is going to be looked at as the head of the organization and maybe his assistant is the number two.
00:56:39.000So they're going to do everything in their power to ensure that they get successful prosecution against him.
00:56:44.000So I wouldn't be surprised at all if they haven't already either A, brought her in...
00:56:49.000Or B made her a target in the investigation to some degree where she's cooperating or they're letting her know that you can be charged too.
00:56:55.000So they're definitely going to have these people ready to go and testify in this situation.
00:57:01.000Yo, can you imagine how 50 Cent feels about this?
00:57:03.000His baby mama is helping Diddy do his dirt, bro.
00:57:44.000Supposedly, and I can Google it, I think 50 is not going forward with the lawsuit particularly for defamation, which we all know, if anybody knows 50 Cent history, if you lie about him, he's going for that money.
00:57:58.000But here's the bigger plight that 50 might have to play, and I guess this is where I would ask, well, if she's either a witness or a potential part of this Didi investigation slash indictment, I think what Diddy and most men would find the biggest win is not suing your baby mama who's broke without you paying her for a defamation.
00:58:24.000The best thing would be showing to family court.
00:58:43.000I mean, you know, we all know that it's a lot harder for men to get custody of their children in family court, but showing that she's being a subject of or indicted in a federal sex trafficking case is absolutely going to swing it in the father's favor, especially someone like Diddy, who has the resources to take care of the kid.
00:58:58.000So, yeah, I mean, that's that's definitely a play for 50.
00:59:14.000So if you listen to some of the other lawsuits, they tried to say, like, even, you know, a few lawsuits, they were like, oh, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
00:59:29.000And what do you think the odds are That any maybe additional indicted people end up being family as opposed to, you know, I could see like maybe a worker like, hey, your job was to,
00:59:44.000you know, get the bitches here or whatever.
00:59:48.000But if his sons, even one of them, I don't think, you know, even though, you know, Christian Combs is a civil case, but if any of them gets caught up in the criminal case, How does that look?
01:00:04.000I mean, it's possible if they assisted their father in any way.
01:00:07.000I mean, some of these charges seem to be kind of old, so they might have been children when it went down.
01:00:12.000But, you know, it's definitely possible that his kids can get wrapped up in the indictment as well.
01:00:20.000Diddy and probably some of his closest associates were indicted in this one.
01:00:23.000You know, we'll have to see if any of them are taken into custody.
01:00:26.000But obviously he was the main guy that they were focused on getting, you know, arrested right away.
01:00:31.000So, you know, we'll only know until tomorrow.
01:00:33.000I mean, he's going to have initial appearance in front of a magistrate tomorrow morning at some point, depending on whenever they have the, wherever they do the initial appearances or whatever time they do them.
01:00:42.000But typically, a lot of places it's in the morning at the district court.
01:01:47.000Yeah, would they get in trouble with the kids if they're underage too as well?
01:01:50.000I mean, there's probably a state charge for that, like child neglect or something like that.
01:01:53.000But at a federal level, I don't think the kids, if they're underage, like they're not, the feds really stay away from prosecuting juveniles.
01:03:22.000This is where we're going to get so much more information from this indictment.
01:03:28.000By the way, and still continue off what you're saying, but I also want to ask, Myron is like, We see all the time in these gang or sometimes RICO cases with gangs,
01:04:20.000Yeah, they did a superseding indictment for him, I think, later on.
01:04:24.000And for the audience that's wondering, a superseding indictment, guys, is nothing more than you get him indicted right by the grand jury the first time, and then you can come back.
01:04:31.000And I know 6ix9ine did a superseding indictment.
01:04:33.000Let's say, during the course of the investigation, did he- They added the niggas who kidnapped him.
01:05:13.000What do you think the feds are in in terms, obviously, like, we're talking about budget here and resources, but how much you think they have put behind this case so far?
01:05:39.000But it's very expensive to run an investigation between surveillance, doing warrants, going out and interviewing a lot of these witnesses that probably aren't in New York City.
01:05:49.000You have to go out to other places to interview them.
01:05:51.000And obviously with a case like this, as a case agent, I want to make sure that I'm out there to do some of these interviews.
01:05:56.000Yeah, they've spent doing surveillance, tracking his assets.
01:06:00.000That's the other thing, too, is they're probably going to try to identify someone like this.
01:06:03.000They're going to identify his real assets for forfeiture, right?
01:06:31.000And three different field offices, and that's three different AUSA's offices that are dealing with it as well, because you have to get search warrants in those jurisdictions, which means you have to go through the United States Attorney's offices in those different jurisdictions.
01:06:42.000A judge can't give you a search warrant in the Southern District of New York for a house that's in the Southern District of Florida.
01:06:47.000You need to go to a judge in the Southern District of Florida to get that warrant signed.
01:06:51.000So that means more than likely a Miami agent had to swear out the affidavit down here, unless the case agent flew down, but he probably did.
01:07:07.000For a case like this, they were probably flying all over the country to interview witnesses and everything like this.
01:07:13.000Because this case is what I would call more of a historical case.
01:07:15.000So it's going to be heavily reliant upon witness testimony, which means you've got to track these motherfuckers down, find out where they're at, interview them, do multiple interviews, make sure you get the story straight, you know...
01:07:27.000You're preparing them and everything else like that.
01:07:32.000And then, obviously, they've had the grand jury convened for months now for this particular investigation, bringing witnesses in, right?
01:07:40.000Because we know that they've had this grand jury open now for a few months.
01:07:42.000And I assume that was predominantly to get a lot of these witnesses in to give their testimony so that they can get a true bill of indictment.
01:07:51.000And I'm going to be a little bit into the conspiracy theory lane, but I'll just ask a question that I've seen people ask before.
01:07:57.000What is the possibility that, you know, okay, Diddy could possibly, you know, okay, he's taken into custody, but he could probably wiggle and squeeze his way out of this by saying, hey, I got a bigger fish for y'all to fry.
01:08:14.000Hey, have y'all heard about my boy Sean Carter?
01:08:50.000And I can explain this because this is kind of a more nuanced question when it comes to informants and, you know, hierarchy and stuff like that.
01:08:56.000So typically when you open up a case, right, you open up a case under what's called a file title, right?
01:09:00.000It's going to be your main target and then et al., right?
01:09:03.000Which means basically him and whoever else is involved.
01:09:06.000Guaranteed this case is probably Sean Combs et al.
01:09:08.000He's the main guy and then everyone falls underneath him, right?
01:09:11.000If you look at the 6ix9ine case, it was, what was it, Mel Murda was the top guy?
01:09:23.000But the case title in 6ix9ine's case was Mel Murda.
01:09:26.000So this is how it works when it comes to informants.
01:09:28.000So I'll give you guys kind of a thing for your audience here.
01:09:32.000If you're going to cooperate with the government, if you're going to cooperate, you're going to be an informant, etc., you better not be the fucking top guy, because more than likely, when you're the top guy, they're not going to cut you a deal, because you're the file title, you're the main dude, unless you have some crazy fucking person that you're going to give up.
01:09:47.000Maybe it's a dirty cop, a dirty agent, some shit like that, not a dirty politician.
01:09:52.000It's very unlikely that you're going to get time off when you're the file title.
01:09:55.000Now, what I will say is, and this is why 6ix9ine got such a great deal, 6ix9ine was what I would call like the sweet spot, right?
01:10:02.000He was in a position of power, but he wasn't so high up where he couldn't necessarily work a deal, but he was also not so low where he didn't know the inner workings of the gang.
01:10:10.000Since he was the rapper and the guy that made the money, He was in the right smack dab in the middle where he was rubbing elbows with all the top dudes so he knew what was going on at the upper echelon, but at the same time, he knew the guys on the lower level, he was able to give information on them.
01:10:24.000That's why he was able to give information on, you know, was it Kuda?
01:10:28.000Right, Kuda B? Get time off despite him giving an order for him to go shoot at Chief Keefe.
01:10:32.000And he was also able to give information on the guys that were above him.
01:10:35.000And that knocked off the census significantly because he was in the perfect position since he dealt with the money.
01:10:40.000And this is typically what ends up happening whenever you're doing a criminal investigation.
01:10:43.000The guys that deal with the money almost always are some of the best informants because they're dealing with all different components of the organization.
01:10:49.000Because when you're the financier, you got to deal with everybody.
01:10:55.000To give people above him and below him.
01:10:57.000But when you're the top guy, it's very difficult to get a deal and get cooperation points because you're the file title.
01:11:02.000Unless you're able to give some extraordinary target, a corrupt individual who's in a position of public trust, it's going to be very difficult for you to get time off.
01:11:12.000And by the way, Chad, you guys see as posted on DJ Academic TV, the Instagram and the Twitter account, there's USA Damien Williams, which is the U.S. attorney.
01:11:23.000He said earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs based on a sealed indictment followed by the Southern District of New York.
01:11:31.000We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and we'll have more to say at that time.
01:11:39.000I don't know if you've seen this, and shout out to my boy Aiden.
01:11:41.000I know Aiden's probably hitting my phone right now, but he's live right now with Sneeko, I think this is Convy, Kuffman, Fousey, and Fousey supposedly said that one of his boys went to a Diddy party, and they invited him to Diddy's room,
01:11:57.000where, I guess, Fousey's friend claimed that, and I'm sorry to be bringing other people's names into this, but it says, Trigger Trey, a.k.a.
01:12:06.000Trey Songz, Was straddling and sitting on Diddy's lap making out with him.
01:13:30.000If you're an investigator, how do you draw the line between, oh, okay, this is just some harmless fun shit, or maybe not harmless fun shit, but shit we shouldn't, you know, spend time or expend our energy into our resources trying to, like, hunt down versus this is the true crime that's happening here.
01:14:00.000I think the biggest thing, right, and I'll tell you this from me wearing that hat like you asked before, keep your investigator hat on.
01:14:08.000This is going to sound very fucked up, but I would only go after shit that mattered from a prosecutorial standpoint, what I can actually prove, right?
01:14:16.000And some people might say, oh, well, that's messed up, man.
01:14:20.000At the federal level, you have a higher threshold to prove a case and get prosecution and prove it guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
01:14:27.000Like the feds don't lose for a reason because they take their time and they go after the things that they can actually prove.
01:14:32.000So in this situation, you know, some dudes, you know, doing some questionable activities, etc., Is that going to be as sexy to an AUSA a lot of the times?
01:14:41.000But if you've got a female victim who's underage, and she's saying that, hey, I was assaulted and I was GR'd by a group of men, well, that's going to be a lot easier to sell to the U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution.
01:14:52.000And at the end of the day, guys, getting your case accepted by the AUSA's office for prosecution It's not as easy to do as people think it is because they have a lot of discretion on what they take and what they don't take.
01:15:04.000So you need to go after the things that are tangible, the things that you can prove, and the things that is going to get their attention.
01:16:44.000We're having a discussion with Ak, obviously, on this situation.
01:16:46.000Which, Ak, you're asking some really good questions here.
01:16:48.000You're, like, really making me kind of go back in time, like, okay, what would we do in this situation?
01:16:53.000But I think it's very important for the audience to know, like, my prediction here is that they wouldn't have pursued this case so aggressively and done the multiple-state search warrants, you know, seize all the items, convene the grand jury.
01:17:08.000I predict that they're probably going to have anywhere between 10 to 30 different witnesses.
01:17:14.000And then go ahead and use the RICO statute, which I predict is what we're going to see in a grand jury indictment tomorrow, had they not been sure that they got this guy dead to rights.
01:17:23.000You know, I predict that Diddy's going to have to probably take a plea deal.
01:17:26.000I know that he's, you know, liquidated a lot of his assets so that he can go ahead and fight this case.
01:17:30.000Because not only does he have this criminal case, but he also has a multitude of civil cases going against him.
01:17:34.000I think this Danny DeKane chick just literally just did a...
01:17:38.000A civil case against them recently for sexual assault.
01:17:41.000By the way, I also, you know, I'm hoping, because this is like the high price you pay off being in media.
01:17:50.000There is two individuals that sent over documents to me, and I'm not going to publish them or give them any light, but other than this potential mention right here.
01:18:03.000They have served Diddy to other individuals with notice to file lawsuits.
01:18:09.000It's like a, hey, we're going to file a lawsuit, but we can start settling.
01:18:14.000And there's people, there's two individuals currently who are...
01:18:19.000At that point, and he has about 20 cases now on a civil level.
01:18:26.000And everyone's going to come because they notice now, especially now that he's gotten arrested, I would not be surprised if he doesn't get served with a few more of these because what they're going to look at it like, okay, he's not in a position to fight these cases because he's going to obviously allocate most of his resources to his criminal defense team.
01:18:44.000He's going to be more than likely willing to kind of play ball and give us what we want.
01:18:48.000A million here, two million here, blah, blah, blah.
01:18:50.000So I definitely predict that he's going to, you know, even more people are going to kind of come out the woodwork and try to sue him civilly so they get a quick payout.
01:18:57.000Because he's not going to have the time or the ability or even resources to fight this stuff in court in a civil case.
01:19:09.000If you're Diddy at this point, and obviously this goes into criminal law, so obviously you have your experience there, but maybe not be your forte.
01:19:19.000Is it something where you might be like, hey, listen, for all the civil cases, you guys get pushed to the back burner.
01:20:38.000You could tell me, I don't know if you know off the top of your head, what some of these things that we've predicted hold in terms of potential penalty.
01:20:46.000But the age, he's currently 54 years of age.
01:21:43.000But if you go to trial and you force the government to prepare for a trial, you're going to probably deal with the higher end of whatever sentence, you know, the charges that you're getting hit with come with.
01:21:52.000So if he goes to trial and loses, There's a very high likelihood he'll get easily somewhere between 20 to 40 years, right?
01:22:32.000And for him to get any less time than 10, he'd have to give up a fucking dirty NYPD officer or a public official or somebody big for him to get less time.
01:22:44.000So anytime you're the main target of investigation, it's very difficult for you to get time reduced because you get hit with a sentencing enhancement called leader organizer of the organization.
01:22:54.000What about Jay-Z? I mean, he would have to give, like, significant stuff that leads to an actual indictment.
01:23:03.000He'd have to have, like, real evidence.
01:23:06.000From what we know, in the federal—and by the way, correct me, you can jump in at any time, you know, you're more well-versed than me.
01:23:16.000When it comes to federal, you know, charges and going through the federal process— They have these mandatory minimums that's unlike any other state where the only way, at least from my knowledge,
01:23:33.000they could go below would be if you have usually a 5K1 letter.
01:23:39.000And that's the snitch scarlet letter, which means...
01:23:45.000Yes, he wins for a day, whatever the case is.
01:23:48.0006-9 had a 5K-1 letter that allowed the judge to go beyond, because 6-9 was facing, you know, if we're thinking about consecutive on some of these days, he's facing like 46 years.
01:23:59.000Let's explain what a proffer is and a 5K is, right?
01:24:01.000So I've done a million of these, right?
01:24:04.000So a profit for you guys that are wondering, it's also known as a safety valve in drug investigations.
01:24:08.000Basically, the individual's typically been charged or whatever it may be, and they have information that can be beneficial to your investigation that can lead to other arrests, whatever.
01:24:17.000You bring the individual in, they sign a profit letter with their defense attorney, and what happens is they can give you information where it can incriminate them, but it can't be used against them.
01:27:05.000By the way, the last thing he said, he said, I was there during the hits and everything, and he says, he knows for a fact they tapped his phone too.
01:27:20.000So let's go ahead and go through this, right?
01:27:21.000So I actually know this very intimately, right?
01:27:23.000Because at the time, right, when I was working for the agency...
01:27:28.000I had a Chinese organized crime case, and I went up to New York, and I actually met with some of the agents from the HSI New York office case, HSI New York, and this was right after they had picked up 6ix9ine, and I kind of figured this out from talking to them, and then also, I worked in the HSI New Haven office,
01:28:11.000So, they were listening to Mel Murda's phone, and I know this from doing Title III's.
01:28:17.000One of the things that you must do if you hear this on a Title III, if you hear violence gonna occur, you have to notify the individuals whose life is threatened if you listen to it on the phone.
01:28:27.000Now, obviously, this sucks because now you're kind of disclosing that you might be having a wiretap, right?
01:28:32.000So you have to kind of go about it in a creative way to not disclose it.
01:28:38.000So, and by the way, that infamous call...
01:28:41.000It was a conversation, and I won't play it here, you know, not to bore the audience, but the conversation, Jim Jones, I believe, told Mel Murder, you have to supervise.
01:28:52.000So, as a federal agent, how do you know that means kill?
01:29:28.000Now, from an agent's perspective, this is a fucking nightmare, right?
01:29:32.000Because on one end, you're listening to Mel Murda's phone, the main target of your investigation, and you literally heard a credible threat against Tekashi's life.
01:30:01.000And obviously he had a plan to go to Connecticut to gamble at the casino.
01:30:04.000Now, from an agent perspective, there's two things you can do.
01:30:08.000A, you find a way to get him arrested to protect himself from himself, or B, you let him go to Connecticut, and you have to maintain surveillance on him the whole time to make sure he doesn't get fucking killed.
01:30:20.000Well, for those that are unaware, in Connecticut, Mohegan, and Foxwoods, it's on sovereign Native American territory.
01:30:43.000Obviously, you're a federal agent, but you now have to notify the tribal police that you're going to be there, you're going to be conducting surveillance, etc., and kind of the situation.
01:30:51.000Feds don't like to notify the state and locals if they don't need to, especially on a high-profile case like this.
01:30:56.000Now, what makes this even more of a nightmare is the New York field office now has to go into what's called a different area of responsibility.
01:31:09.000That's going to be covered by HSI New Haven and HSI Hartford.
01:31:12.000Well, I'll tell y'all right now, those are two small field offices, maybe 20, 30 agents total in the state, right?
01:31:18.000They're not going to be able to effectively cover this guy on surveillance, and you got to take HSI New York agents and follow him as well.
01:31:26.000So that's a fucking logistical nightmare to not only follow 6ix9ine all the way to Connecticut and make sure that he's safe, but now you got to notify the tribal police and let them know, yo, you know, we're going to be in your AOR doing surveillance on this individual, blah, blah, blah.
01:31:42.000And if something happens, God forbid, there is a shootout, some bloods or anything else like that, follow him to the casino, and there's a shooting and anyone gets hurt, and the feds knew about it?
01:31:58.000That's why if you look at the indictment, it's kind of rushed when they went ahead and picked up 6ix9ine and all these other guys.
01:32:02.000I think they kind of picked him up to, well, obviously he was involved in criminal activity, but I think what their strategy was to arrest him later on, but they had to pick him up to save himself.
01:33:02.000What do you think tonight, because here's the thing, we think of Diddy as the take that, take that toothpick in the mouth, bougie, like, yo, he got the Star Island crib, he got the $60 million crib in motherfucking LA, he has the private jet.
01:33:21.000And again, I don't know if you're familiar with, like, the intake system necessarily in New York, but, like, What is it like having somebody who, you know, the media is clamoring to know details, but he's going to be probably spending,
01:33:37.000I would hope, or not hope, but I would probably guess he's going to spend a night tonight in jail.
01:33:53.000Or is he chilling in a room just kind of eating potato chips and just kind of watching this while his lawyers are kind of hammering out the details?
01:34:22.000More than likely, I'm willing to bet he's going to say, no, I'm not talking without an attorney present.
01:34:26.000At that point, you know, the case agent can kind of decide if he wants to let the attorney come in and they can have that discussion or he says, you know what, fuck it.
01:34:46.000The case agent is going to probably get all his stuff together and be in court tomorrow morning with the AUSA. Hold on, I'm sorry to cut you off, because, like, these details matter because sometimes we think, like, for example, when we've seen Trump, right?
01:34:58.000Like, there's no proof that Trump actually got put in cuffs, right?
01:35:01.000He takes, like, it's almost like a selfie, like, it's a mugshot.
01:35:36.000They're going to have an unmarked, parked out there, ready to go.
01:35:38.000They put him in the back of the car, drive him over to the New York office in New York City for HSI. You know, obviously, I'm assuming the case...
01:35:47.000And I hate to cut you off, but I like to get to the nitty-gritty.
01:35:51.000Okay, we know Diddy's being flanked by security.
01:36:40.000The case agent is probably either there on scene when he's getting arrested, right, to see if they can get any spontaneous utterances, which is spontaneous utterance is where they say something, right, spontaneously that can be used in court, right, without the Miranda rights being read,
01:36:56.000which the Miranda rights is you have the rights to be silent, blah, blah, blah, all this other shit, which you have to read to them when they're being arrested.
01:37:01.000So he might make a spontaneous utterance, whatever.
01:37:03.000Oh, fuck, man, they got me some other bullshit like that.
01:37:43.000Dude, I've gotten people all the time with that where you're going to go arrest them and they'll make some comments like, this fucking asshole sent me up.
01:37:57.000And then, you know, and then obviously you read him his rights after the fact before you ask any questions, but you can absolutely use spontaneous utterances when they're being arrested.
01:38:03.000So, as the case agent, you'd want to be there when that happens, or you send two of your guys that you really trust to effect the arrest, and then you ask him, hey, did he say anything when you picked him up?
01:38:12.000So, they probably bring him out to the car.
01:38:41.000We're gonna start, you know, getting you ready for the U.S. Marshals, right?
01:38:44.000Because the way it works in the federal system is when you have someone arrested Federally, right?
01:38:50.000Sometimes, and we're really getting in the weeds here, but I'll explain it anyway.
01:38:55.000The U.S. Marshals a lot of times have contracts with local jails to hold bodies for them that are federal custody.
01:39:03.000Now, in a place like New York City, which is big, they might not necessarily need that.
01:39:08.000So you might just take them right to the federal detention center, right?
01:39:11.000And there's going to be marshals there that will book them, fingerprint them, put them into NCIC, all that other stuff, right?
01:39:18.000And then they'll put him in there and then the next morning, right, sometimes there'll be an arrangement with the marshals or the agent himself.
01:39:24.000You gotta go pick him up and then take him to court.
01:41:21.000Now Diddy's lawyers are saying they're going to, you know, contest it.
01:41:24.000But not only did they get the default judgment, which obviously Diddy's lawyers are going to go to vacate.
01:41:29.000They went to go get an injunctive order from that judge to say...
01:41:36.000His property, the Homely Hills one that he's trying to sell for like $60 or $70 million, cannot be sold because that will be the subject of compensation barring the result of this case,
01:41:53.000which the guy already got a judgment for, which is $100 million.
01:41:58.000So basically he's saying, until further proceedings...
01:42:04.000They wanted the judge to block that sale or any potential sale.
01:42:21.000I was describing to you how the marshals take the guy into...
01:42:24.000How the feds would pick him up, try to get an interview, drop him off to the marshals, and then you said you had two questions, and then Fresh totally derailed everything by that fucking comment.
01:42:45.000Yo, even me, I promise you, I'm having, like, just even thinking about the situation, the way we look at Diddy and how powerful he is, we almost want to see, like, even when they raided his crib when he was in Miami, they met him at,
01:43:41.000I mean, hell, we might even be able to...
01:43:42.000I mean, I don't know if BOP... No, the BOP website might not have it.
01:43:46.000But yeah, he's definitely either A, cooperating and talking with the feds right now, or B, he's in a jail cell in New York City somewhere.
01:43:55.000Maybe FDC Brooklyn or some shit like that, or in Manhattan, depending on wherever the marshals have their contract with withholding federal prisoners.
01:44:02.000Okay, and by the way, I'm looking that up as we speak.
01:44:05.000I don't know if I'll be able to find it.
01:44:07.000I will ask you this, and by the way, I just looked it up, it says no records found.
01:44:11.000Yeah, probably not, because he hasn't been committed to Bureau of Prisons yet.
01:45:36.000And the reason why is because if you want them to cooperate and talk to you, you can't go in and, like, you know, fuck them up and expect them to talk to you.
01:45:42.000So, like, for the arrest, you're gonna go in...
01:45:46.000Very, you know, very quietly, very covertly, especially someone like this that has a public image.
01:45:57.000It depends on how the interaction went.
01:45:59.000But if I'm the case agent and I want to get cooperation, I'm not going to go in there and arrest the guy crazy because that could really mess things up.
01:46:07.000Now, as far as the search warrant goes, because you said that they went and used...
01:46:09.000So, okay, let me explain this so people kind of understand.
01:46:14.000When you're conducting a search warrant, right?
01:46:16.000And you're looking for evidence of a crime in a house, right?
01:46:20.000Depending on the individual, that's gonna kinda dictate how you proceed with doing the search warrant.
01:46:27.000Now, when you're doing a search warrant, the number one thing that you need to do is you need to clear the house first, Then you get agents in there to actually search, right?
01:46:34.000So first you got to do the sweep, make sure there's nobody in there, anybody that is in there, you zip time, get them the hell out the house, make sure it's completely safe.
01:46:41.000Then you bring the agents in that are a part of the investigative team to do it.
01:46:44.000But the people that are going to go in and clear the house is, in this case, it was the SRT, Special Response Team, right?
01:46:51.000If I'm the case agent, I prefer to let the SRT handle it, clear the house, especially a big structure like that, make sure it's safe.
01:46:59.000Then I send the guys in my group that are helping me with this investigation and know what to look for, then they go in and start searching it.
01:47:05.000So it's two different teams of agents that are dealing with the search warrant.
01:47:08.000So first is the clearing from the tactical side.
01:47:10.000Once that's done, then you get the actual agents that are involved in the case and have a stake in the case to go in and actually search.
01:47:18.000That's just kind of how search warrants are done, right?
01:47:20.000And then if you know that the individual might have guns in the house, there's going to be certain people there, whatever it may be, you know, you're going to actually, you know, you're going to operate with a certain level of, you know, carefulness to make sure that no one's hurt.
01:47:31.000But after it's clear, you're good to go.
01:48:25.000You know, maybe they ask him, hey, do you mind if we search, make sure it's safe, like no one's in here hiding?
01:48:30.000And they could go ahead and do a search.
01:48:31.000So, you know, I'm assuming it's a consent to search or search incident to arrest, bringing him up there to get any belongings he might want.
01:50:08.000She said, hey, we should have a conversation.
01:50:10.000She said she wants to talk about everything, no holds barred about her career, everything I've said about her.
01:50:19.000I've had a lot of commentary about what I thought about She wanted to be in a relationship with a guy who could be seen as a sugar daddy, right?
01:50:58.000She did do an interview, though, or did do an episode of her show where she did it with her homosexual best friend, Saucy Santana, and he asked her some questions about this whole thing.
01:51:13.000And what she basically said was, hey, listen, I don't know too much of anything, blah, blah, blah, this and third.
01:51:22.000However, there is a huge overlap with her and Diddy in the last, I want to say, three years, to be generous.
01:51:34.000Is it possible that maybe this indictment comes out and it's just all legacy things that has nothing to do with anything that happened in the last couple years?
01:51:44.000Or do you think they still try to tie...
01:51:47.000At least some recent stuff into what he was doing in terms of his behavior.
01:52:18.000They're going to have something in there recent that at least kind of aligns with the statute of limitations because they're going to need to prove that the criminal activity is still going on.
01:52:25.000That's a very important part Of RICO is establishing that it's an ongoing criminal enterprise.
01:52:32.000If you look at any RICO indictment, right, whether you look at the 6-9-1, you look at the Casanova one, etc., the first paragraph almost always is them talking about the organization being defined as a criminal enterprise, right?
01:52:45.000So whether it was the Ninth Ray Gangsta Bloods or the Gorilla Stone Bloods from the Casanova situation, they're going to, you know, define Diddy's organization as an enterprise first.
01:52:55.000Then they're going to show, look, this is an enterprise.
01:52:57.000They've been doing this since the 80s or the 90s.
01:53:00.000And then they're going to start displaying all the racketeering activities or criminal activities that have been going on since then all the way up until now.
01:53:07.000And then there'll be something probably recent within the last 5 to 10 years in the indictment that's the most recent.
01:53:13.000But that's the whole, they're going to definitely have something in there that's somewhat recent so that they can establish that this has been a pattern of criminal activity.
01:53:47.000When a suspect is taken into custody, does conversation about maybe a potential plea start?
01:53:56.000It can be immediately, depending on the individual, how much they're cooperating, how much their defense team is involved in a situation like this, where it seems that Diddy's had defense from the beginning and they've been coordinating with the prosecution and the AUSA. These are conversations that could be had almost immediately,
01:54:14.000especially if the person is cooperative.
01:54:15.000I mean, you know, when you see people being charged with something called an information versus an indictment, nine out of ten times that's because they've already kind of ironed out a plea deal and the person is cooperating with the government, which is why they got hit with the information versus a formal indictment.
01:54:30.000But I predict that there's already been talks of them potentially playing out to something.
01:54:50.000So you don't think this is going to be a long, knock-em-down type of case where they're like, hey, let's spend the first three months hammering out discovery.
01:55:02.000Let's then angle towards what we're going to do.
01:55:07.000Let's possibly take some additional time.
01:55:46.000He could go and be like, hey, listen, I was flying around the United States, and I still came here for the indictment, and I turned myself in.
01:55:54.000I want to be able to travel for work, okay?
01:55:58.000I'll have an ankle monitor on, but I could travel for work.
01:56:01.000Do you think that's a possibility, or they're like, yo, fuck out of here.
01:56:05.000You're going to stay your ass in a penthouse or that goddamn Star Island spot in Miami.
01:56:10.000Yeah, no, I think it's very probable that he'll get access to be able to travel for work, given the nature of his work and being a businessman and a musician.
01:57:45.000Like, hey, the AUSAs are targeting my client because of erroneous False civil lawsuits filed by money-hungry people who I've worked with who have just not done well in life.
01:57:59.000And the AUSA believes these stuff and they're prosecuting on a very...
01:58:04.000They're using malintent to try to get at me.
01:59:13.000Gets that bond because they got to play nice with the government so that they can get this bond.
01:59:17.000Once he's out and he's, you know, on bond and the defense has the discovery, that's where I think, okay, now it's kind of an adversarial situation now.
01:59:30.000Let's go through this discovery, see what they got, try to find holes in this, and then that's when they're going to really start formulating their game plan once they have the discovery and see what the feds actually have on Diddy.
01:59:39.000But I think they'll play ball until he gets the bond, and then from that point, it's going to be a little bit more of a Cold War-type situation.
01:59:46.000Okay, and again, forgive me for some of the questions I'm asking, because they might just seem...
01:59:54.000At what point, if I'm Diddy and now I need to be prepared with my legal team, at what point could I probably identify, oh, this person in my organization or this former person I used to be cool with is a snitch?
02:00:12.000Would that be probably abundantly clear off of the indictment being unsealed?
02:00:17.000Or do you have to wait for Discovery to be like, wait, the only person that would know this was the engineer who was in the studio, so that person must be snitching.
02:00:28.000That might be Discovery, or maybe you could read the complaint and be like, how the fuck they know that shit?
02:00:34.000So indictments are almost always more broadly written than criminal complaints are.
02:00:37.000And for the audience, just so they kind of know, a criminal complaint is affidavit written by a special agent, which literally outlines the case and the facts that lead to probable cause.
02:00:47.000They're far more detailed than indictments are, right?
02:01:04.000Obviously, we have the evidence right there.
02:01:05.000I write up a criminal complaint, arrest him, and then within two weeks, we have to indict him.
02:01:08.000In indictment, you kind of skip that whole affidavit thing, and then you just go right to the grand jury, indict it, and then you get an arrest warrant, go get him, right?
02:01:16.000So everyone has to be indicted at some point at the federal level if you're going to be criminally charged.
02:01:32.000So with the affidavit, that's why I was explaining this.
02:01:34.000In the affidavit, it's a lot easier to identify...
02:01:38.000Cooperators and informants because the agent himself is outlining the probable cause in his affidavit and a lot of the times it's very difficult for you to shield that.
02:01:47.000You have to disclose informants to some degree unless you got an overwhelming amount of evidence where you didn't even need to put the informant stuff in.
02:01:52.000But typically the informant stuff is what leads to probable cause.
02:01:55.000So the affidavit will be able to reveal it.
02:01:57.000Now in this case with the indictment, the indictments are typically more broadly written.
02:02:02.000He could go ahead and read it, right, and kind of connect some dots here or there, but it's not going to be as easy to tell with an indictment.
02:02:09.000However, when they get the discovery, all of the HSI reports are going to be in there.
02:02:14.000Then that's when he'll be able to know who's who and who said what, etc.
02:02:18.000Because when they get those reports, because the agents have to disclose all the ROIs, HSI calls them ROIs, reports of investigation, That's where Diddy and his team will be able to read those HSI reports and they'll see all the witness interviews and they'll know who is who and that's going to come from the discovery.
02:02:38.000Yeah, this is going to be very, very interesting.
02:02:41.000So he'll know who turned on him within the first month or so easily.
02:02:57.000I think his legal team is going to fight like hell for it.
02:02:59.000It might be an ankle monitor, like you mentioned, where he can't leave his house or whatever, but I don't think they're going to put him in jail.
02:03:05.000And then another argument they're probably going to make is his life is in danger, safety issues, he's a celebrity.
02:03:10.000It's going to cause stress to the jail to put him in private custody the whole time.
02:03:16.000It just works out better for everyone to have him just be on house arrest or to be out on Bond.
02:03:20.000And I think he has a very good chance of doing that.
02:03:25.000It might not come tomorrow necessarily, but I think if he doesn't get out tomorrow, he'll probably have an official bond hearing within a few days, and I think at that bond hearing, assuming he doesn't get out tomorrow, he'll be able to get out.
02:03:39.000Speaking of which, back in November, right?
02:03:43.000The NYPD claimed they had no knowledge of any...
02:03:47.000This was after, I think, someone erroneously said that, oh, the NYPD's investigated.
02:03:54.000They came out and said, we have no knowledge of any investigation going on against Diddy.
02:04:00.000Clearly, the NYPD, I would imagine, and you could tell me if you know, they probably work a little bit in line with...
02:04:08.000The Southern District of New York and Homeland Security and FBI or whoever else.
02:05:24.000I can travel interstate because I'm working with the FBI as a task force officer.
02:05:29.000So not only can I do a traffic stop if I fucking wanted to and put on a uniform and charge you for state charges, I can also conduct federal investigations, right?
02:05:37.000Same thing with DEA, same thing with HSI. HSI has task force officers that are from NYPD, from New York State Police, from, hell, Fire Mart, like, all different places, right?
02:05:50.000And these guys have not only customs authority, right, which HSI gives them, because HSI has legacy U.S. Customs and Immigration, they also have their state authority.
02:06:04.000The highest levels of brass, right, know, at the NYPD, know that they have detectives that work on these federal law enforcement task forces, but they're not privy to all the investigations that they're involved in, right, for obviously security purposes.
02:06:19.000So the only person a lot of times that knows what that detective is involved in is probably maybe his direct chain of command, right?
02:06:25.000His sergeant that's over him or his lieutenant will know he's assigned to the FBI JTTF or Joint Terrorism Task Force.
02:06:33.000Sometimes they might not even know everything that he's involved in.
02:06:36.000So, because that detective is reporting to an FBI special agent, supervisory special agent, and that's effectively his supervisor over at the FBI. His other supervisor over at the NYPD kind of just like signs his time cards and shit like that,
02:06:52.000but he might not necessarily know what he's doing.
02:06:54.000Because when you're on a federal task force, the rules kind of change.
02:06:57.000So, In a way, the NYPD isn't lying by saying we don't have an active investigation, because that is true.
02:07:03.000There's an active investigation at the feds, but the brass a lot of times doesn't even know this stuff.
02:07:12.000And I guess a joint question, and I know I'm throwing a lot at you.
02:07:17.000A lot of people have these questions, so it's the first time I think, because there ain't nobody on YouTube that's done the shit that I've done, not to sound cocky or anything like that, but, you know, when it comes to the federal stuff, I know exactly how every agency works, because I've worked with all of them very closely.
02:07:52.000And I want you to try to compare, and I don't know how much you're well-versed in these other cases, We've obviously seen the R. Kelly situation.
02:08:24.000You're going to spend the rest of your life in jail.
02:08:27.000You know, obviously, for obvious reasons, we get why these are heinous crimes.
02:08:34.000These are crimes that the public has a significant interest in.
02:08:38.000They're making sure that these individuals, if we think about R. Kelly, he was charged in just multiple precincts and districts and places in the country where he's serving multiple times.
02:08:52.000Harvey Weinstein is a person who, based on how he was charged and even criminally convicted, at least initially, he was never supposed to get out.
02:09:00.000And even when he had maybe a slight victory, the Southern District of New York, they indicted him again, I believe, like very shortly.
02:09:09.000I think they're about to hit him with the arraignment and the unsealing of the new indictment.
02:09:14.000But basically, they're trying to tell him, you're never getting out.
02:10:17.000He actually got indicted by the Eastern District of New York, which they're also very aggressive because they compete with the Southern District of New York.
02:10:30.000I mean, at the federal level, especially when they come after you for anything, especially like a human trafficking case or a RICO or any of this other stuff, they're looking to put you away for a very long time.
02:10:42.000You know, these are very serious charges.
02:10:44.000The fact that they convened the grand jury for as long as they did, the fact that they did this investigation as long as they did, the fact that they're using racketeering to bring in some of these allegations from the fucking 90s and early 2000s, I think that goes to show...
02:10:59.000How serious they are as far as pursuing this investigation.
02:11:04.000So they're looking at it like, look, Diddy, we got you so dead to rights, you're going to have to come to the table and plead guilty to something here that's still going to give you a significant amount of time.
02:11:15.000By the way, for people who are wondering what the cases are referenced, Harvey Weinstein, a historical creep, he was initially found guilty of, he had an R-word conviction,
02:11:32.000but it got overturned by the New York Court of Appeal.
02:11:37.000The reason being is that We're good to go.
02:11:58.000So they believe that that gave an unfair advantage to the prosecutor, so they threw out his conviction, and, you know, I mean, Myron can speak to this after I'm done, like, hey, a lot of times, if you get, you know, the appeal court throws your shit out,
02:12:15.000like, throws out a conviction, it takes money to convict this shit.
02:12:18.000They might be like, alright, fuck it, you know, at least you served some time.
02:13:38.000And boom, here we are, mid-September, and he's getting arrested sooner than I even predicted.
02:13:43.000But yeah, man, they're absolutely going to make a...
02:13:49.000Make an example out of him in this situation.
02:13:51.000Anytime you got a celebrity or a rapper or something like that, Southern District of New York, they love these big, high-profile cases.
02:13:56.000I mean, keep in mind, this is the U.S. Attorney's Office that famously prosecuted La Cosa Nostra, right, when they were untouchable at the time.
02:14:04.000You know, Rudy Giuliani famously, you know, and was one of the first prosecutors to successfully use RICO. The Southern District of New York is what kind of pioneered that.
02:14:13.000So this is an office that has a lot of prestige, has a lot of image.
02:14:18.000HSI New York, from the agency standpoint, that's one of our busiest field offices, man.
02:14:26.000Funny story, the agent that was in charge of HSI New York when 6ix9ine got arrested used to be the special agent in charge of Puerto Rico, which was the busiest field office in the country.
02:14:46.000Okay, I might sound a little bit cynical,
02:15:02.000but what is the potential chance of Maybe Diddy going in either with his lawyer or however it is and says, hey, listen, keep my kids out of it.
02:15:12.000Keep any woman I've dealt with out of it.
02:15:33.000And I'm looking kind of at his sons a little bit too, right?
02:15:36.000Like, you know, not necessarily do I think that they were with all the fuckery that he was in, but, you know, of recent times we hear the stories that he was sharing women with his kids.
02:17:02.000If you don't know, man, my guys, Fresh and Fit, they're my boys.
02:17:05.000And, of course, support my man, Myron, you know...
02:17:08.000A guy who's just super talented, multifaceted, not only when it comes to dating, obviously fitness, but he is a wizard when it comes to speaking about, I believe, politics and also anything that constitutes the law.
02:18:15.000The reason why I know so much is because I would purposely work with other agencies.
02:18:19.000I was always fascinated to see how the DEA works versus the FBI, or how the FBI works differently than ATF. How FBI agents write their 302s versus DEA agents write their DEA 6s.
02:18:30.000So I was always very interested in how different agencies work and working with different agencies and kind of leveraging and using different agencies' strengths.
02:18:39.000I used to do something called OCDF cases, Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces cases, where you would work with other agencies and you would get a special designated congressional number for your case from the Department of Justice, and you would get more funding where you can...
02:18:55.000Do a big case like this, which I don't anticipate that this is an OCDF case on this Diddy case.
02:18:59.000But I think the 6ix9ine case was an OCDF, and I think also the Casanova case was an OCDF. But yeah, man, so this stuff is something that I literally lived and breathed for a very long time.
02:19:09.000I had the number one arrest in 2016 when I was on the southwest border, one of the busiest offices in Laredo, Texas.
02:19:16.000So when it comes to this stuff, man, I could talk all day.
02:19:18.000Any question that you got when it comes to whether how cases are done at a federal level, even at a state level or...
02:19:23.000Prosecutors, all this other stuff, man, like, this is what I used to do.
02:19:26.000Or how to exploit phones, title threes, pen register, tracing traps, ping warrants, all this shit.
02:19:34.000Yeah, no, this is so fascinating just based on, you know, who, I'm gonna be honest with you, like, I think in hip-hop wise, we all believe that this is Mr.
02:20:38.0002016, he was important, but he didn't do too much.
02:20:45.000But still, obviously, that was when we saw Donald Trump take office in 2016.
02:20:51.000And then, obviously, the subsequent election, we saw then Joe Biden take office.
02:20:59.000This sounds crazy for me to say, because I'm a rational person most of the time.
02:21:04.000But do you think that maybe Diddy could have, you know, could have maybe leveraged this ongoing federal shit by maybe being either a little bit more involved or maybe offering up his services to like,
02:21:21.000yo, hey, listen, yo, Biden, at least Biden at the time.
02:21:25.000Yo, I'm going to go hard to get this black community to put their vote down for the Democratic Party.
02:21:33.000And maybe not, I'm not saying it's going to indemnify him of his crimes, but maybe the timing will be a little bit different, right?
02:21:41.000If the number one black person that's like, yo, we're going Biden, and subsequently Harris, if that person is fucking getting indicted, that looks crazy, right?
02:21:51.000Do you think that could potentially have changed anything, or do you believe that maybe the advisors for these people just knew down the pipeline, hey, Diddy's fucked, don't touch him, don't go near him,
02:22:06.000because I'm going to be honest, it's been a little bit alarming, he just hasn't been in front of any of these movements.
02:22:15.000I think the important thing here, so instead of...
02:22:17.000I'm going to answer your question, but I'm also going to give the audience something to kind of think about.
02:22:21.000So, I want everybody to know, like, when it comes to the federal level, right, every United States Attorney's Office, special agent in charge, etc., they want to be able to go to Congress at the end of the year and be like, yo...
02:22:32.000My agency did XYZ. We arrested this many people.
02:22:36.000We took this much drugs off the street.
02:22:38.000We seized this much money from illicit activity, etc.
02:22:40.000They want to be able to go and lobby to get more money for the next fiscal year to continue to have their agency operate, right?
02:22:47.000And the only way they do that is by showing stats.
02:22:49.000Law enforcement is dictated by stats, right?
02:22:52.000And same thing with the United States Attorney's Offices.
02:23:02.000Now, with that said, knowing that everything is driven by stats and affluence and your ability to arrest big targets and everything else like that, I think if anything, Diddy posturing himself from a political standpoint and saying,
02:23:18.000oh yeah, I'm going to go ahead and align myself with Biden or whatever, I don't think it would have protected them that much.
02:23:24.000I think if anything, the more clout and fame you have and the higher up you are, it puts a bigger target on you for the feds to come after you.
02:23:30.000Because they want to be able to get those headlines and be like, yeah, we were the office that successfully indicted XYZ or did, you know, 123, whatever it may be.
02:23:40.000Now, and I know people have their conspiracy theories and everything else like that, which I totally understand and respect.
02:23:58.000That's why they went after Hunter Biden on the other side.
02:24:00.000That's why, if you look at this assassin that they got right, that tried to kill Trump yesterday, I think the FBI is going to try to go after him and build a federal case.
02:24:08.000Right now, he's being held in state custody, but I predict that they're going to try to build a federal case for the next 72 hours.
02:24:13.000And the reason why is because the FBI has a lot of egg on their face right now from the failed prosecutions of Trump, from the failed Matthew Crooks investigation from Butler, Pennsylvania, where they still can't find a motive or whatever.
02:24:26.000So they're going to try to make an example of this guy, and if it allows them to get more clout, more notoriety, and kind of repair...
02:24:33.000The public distrust for the federal government right now, they're gonna try to do it because it will benefit them and allow them to be able to get more funding in the future.
02:24:40.000So you always gotta ask, what's the bottom line?
02:24:42.000What's their incentive to get this done?
02:24:44.000And if the answer is they get more clout, more fame, more notoriety, and they're able to obviously use that to lobby for more funding in the future, then they are probably gonna do it.
02:24:53.000Now, does that mean that there aren't corrupt agents that don't do bullshit?
02:25:00.000But I think that agencies are always going to do what's in their best interest to get more money and to get more notoriety, and a lot of times that means taking down the biggest people that they can or unraveling the biggest conspiracies that they can.
02:25:31.000By the way, I think Reggie Wright even said this.
02:25:32.000They said Diddy is not a type of person that will tolerate being in a jail cell for the rest of his life.
02:25:41.000And they said if it ever came down to it, and I think you know where I'm going, he might seek certain type of alternative measures to, for lack of a better term, he ain't staying in that cell alive.
02:26:01.000You tell me when you arrest anyone, a suspect, who's probably facing significant time, maybe the majority of their life, if they're convicted.
02:26:12.000Because we're still wondering, how the fuck did that happen to Epstein?
02:26:44.000I do genuinely think that they're going to give him bond, even if it's a house arrest.
02:26:49.000Just with the level of cooperation that his defense team has exhibited with working with the prosecution, I would be shocked if the AUSA kind of like double-crossed the attorney and said, nah, fuck that, we're going to push for him to be...
02:27:39.000And that's really it, because if the government doesn't object to him being out on bond, because the defense is going to say, Your Honor, I want my client to be out on bond.
02:28:29.000Do you believe the feds were like you know just keeping a close eye on him if they're gonna arrest him pretty much like maybe an hour afterwards like you know if he's taking a stroll in New York City because it says just a couple hours before Diddy got busted he was confidently strolling around New York City with his son King Combs even stopped to greet some fans yeah take some selfies yep what does the feds do then they're like oh he's leaving the hotel he's just walking around What do you do?
02:28:57.000No, I mean, you know, he's a famous guy.
02:28:58.000They've probably observed this multiple times while doing surveillance on him that he kind of just walks around and is living his life.
02:29:03.000I will say that I've noticed that since Diddy's kind of like had these looming charges on him, he's done a very good job of like maintaining public...
02:29:54.000Yeah, I can't tell you how many times it happens because they're stressed for months knowing that they're going to get arrested by the Fed.
02:29:58.000So when they finally do get arrested that first night, they pass out, man.
02:31:23.000So by the time he did get arrested, there's no one like, oh, my God.
02:31:26.000Like, you know, it's kind of everyone's like, all right, good.
02:31:29.000I'm just trying to think of powerful people, like, Chad, you guys could help me name, because we're only in shock, and I imagine this happened to the movie industry with Harvey Weinstein as well, right?
02:31:40.000Because nobody thought Harvey Weinstein could ever be, you know, arrested, and then it happened.
02:31:47.000Yeah, no, I mean, it's, you know, it's always like, and this is what the feds like to do, man, they like to go after people that are untouchable.
02:31:54.000So, I'm not surprised that Diddy was a target of this investigation.
02:31:58.000Obviously, they put a lot of money and resources in it because of who he is and how big he is and how untouchable he is.
02:32:03.000The one thing I will say, though, that's kind of surprised me is I have not seen anyone come out to Diddy's defense and say he's innocent or say that they support him or anything.
02:32:13.000I haven't seen anyone publicly do that, which is very strange.
02:32:15.000Well, academics, question for you, brother.
02:32:18.000We know that his industry is very political, right?
02:32:21.000And in the industry, I'm sure that he has info on people, like some dirt on them.
02:32:26.000I guarantee you that he has maybe like a few of them doing some stuff behind the scenes or maybe like hear some rumors about people.
02:32:32.000So he has a lot of things he could expose about people in the industry, right?
02:32:36.000You think he's going to say that now that he's being locked up?
02:33:07.000So, the only person he could have something on that we would give a fuck, and I guess, you know, I was gonna ask Maren this too, is like, There's this Jay-Z element that everyone has been skating around, right?
02:34:03.000Now, obviously, you know, I don't want to get into some of the weeds here, and I know I've done it before, but they do say things about Jay-Z, except I do think Jay-Z is just way more shrewd.
02:34:13.000I've heard this from a few people in the game, and it kind of goes to Myron's point about continued behavior.
02:34:25.000Nobody's saying Jay-Z was as wild a boy as Diddy, but they said, for any fuck shit that Jay-Z ever did, he cleaned his act up over 10 years ago.
02:34:35.000So he just ain't been the same person.
02:34:38.000And when you're not doing those actions continually...
02:34:44.000You know, it kind of probably doesn't stoke the same fire under investigators to come get you when literally they would only be investigating stuff that's, you know, the more we go in time, you get further from that behavior.
02:34:59.000It's not like, yo, Diddy was still throwing parties last year.
02:38:23.000And I hope Drake don't have any type of issues compared to these other people we're talking about.
02:38:28.000But, you know, what do you think about, you know, maybe some of the behavior?
02:38:33.000And, you know, obviously for fresh nose and seas when it comes to, like, if you've been around these celebrity rappers or people who have money and a lot of power, they, shit, it kind of all kind of rolls into...
02:38:49.000These sexual escapades and these wild parties and these other things.
02:38:54.000Is that a valid thing where it's like, yo...
02:38:58.000You gotta check out out of that system or that game, or else you might get fucked.
02:39:08.000Drake's parties are always fun, and the girls speak positive about Drake all the time.
02:39:12.000They're like, Drake is respectful, he's nice, he makes sure everything's paid for, open bar, awesome time.
02:39:19.000I'm not really saying this for Drake, because here's the thing.
02:39:22.000I'm pretty sure the bitch is at there, and I'm saying bitches respectfully, even if there's something The bitches at Diddy party in the 90s were speaking respectfully till it got disrespectful.
02:40:56.000What I think is that hip-hop culture glorifies and allows certain shit that is sometimes super gray area.
02:41:07.000And The more you indulge in some of those things that you might think like, like, again, you know, I'm not trying to jump on no fucking sword for this guy Diddy, but like, I don't know if Diddy thought what he was doing was like super evil or he thought that,
02:42:01.000Probably cognizantly realized that what he did over the years were super evil until maybe a year or two ago when he realized that And he probably got people hitting him up saying, hey, yo, remember what you did back then?
02:43:10.000Matter of fact, keep pushing it to the point where obviously now when we look at it, this shit is just clearly disgusting and just out of bounds.
02:43:17.000But when I hear the story of Diddy, a guy who was basically this young guy getting into the industry who got fired, then got another opportunity,
02:43:34.000and then made his way to I don't think he was...
02:43:38.000Actually, let me stop because I watched one documentary.
02:43:42.000They say he was beating bitches from college.
02:45:34.000The more you're involved in it, the more you do it, the easier it is to get bored, the easier it is to get bored, the more stimuli you need to get to that same level.
02:46:38.000The punishment for that, and I'm not saying whether rightly or wrongly, the punishment for that wouldn't be spending the rest of his life in jail, I think.
02:46:49.000But the punishment for sex trafficking, if that's what the crime is, which I think that's where we're trying to either process that.
02:47:01.000Because even like Myron said, Myron is like, yo, I think some of these girls were down with it.
02:47:06.000Okay, well, that becomes multifaceted.
02:47:58.000But they were saying that was one of her kinks.
02:48:01.000And I think when we try to look at it with an independent, you know, vision, that's the most egregious part of it.
02:48:09.000Yo, you're doing these freak-offs, forcing these...
02:48:12.000These innocent women into some shit that they never wanted to do, that they were not having fun like you did without their will.
02:48:20.000And then when you hear other things like, nah, some of them wasn't into that shit.
02:48:23.000You're like, it makes us almost sit back that we gotta just like, alright, let's look at the evidence that the police is gonna have.
02:48:30.000And obviously, you know, we're gonna do that tomorrow morning, at least to some extent.
02:48:33.000But You don't really know what to think, right?
02:48:39.000It'll be interesting if Cassie ends up being a witness in this investigation from the criminal perspective, which I know for a fact she more than likely at least led investigators to other witnesses because she was with him for so long.
02:48:51.000So she was probably a key cooperator in this criminal investigation where...
02:48:56.000You know, she might have led the feds to other individuals that Diddy might have sexually abused during the course of their relationship.
02:49:03.000So it'd be interesting to see if like, you know, her involvement in the criminal case and how deeply she was involved.
02:49:09.000Maybe she might have pointed other people.
02:49:10.000She might have, you know, be someone that's going to testify herself.
02:49:14.000We'll see obviously when the indictment is rolled out tomorrow, but we'll know for sure once Diddy gets his discovery and he reads those ROIs, how deep it goes.
02:49:25.000I just wonder, for all the people that went to these parties, right, that aren't talking right now, I can think of one person that we all know, Kevin Hart.
02:49:33.000You think he's, like, sweating right now, like he's, like, worried?
02:49:36.000Or some of these people, other people that went to these parties, or not really?
02:49:41.000I do believe that the level of craziness he got to, he kept that to a certain amount of people.
02:49:48.000I do believe that Some silence or some lack of comment is always indicative of maybe a particular culture or lifestyle that maybe, you know, again, we're in 2024 and there's a few lawsuits that he has that are in the 90s.
02:50:08.000Like I always said that, you know, again, never defending these people, but just speaking just honestly how shit looks like, even say like Bill Cosby.
02:50:17.000Yo, do you think that Bill Cosby was the only nigga putting Quaaludes in women's drinks or Spanish, whatever the fuck he said he was doing?
02:50:58.000Like, bro, like, if you watch BET Uncut, some of the Freaknik shit, Like, you know, as we talk about consent, none of that shit sounds like consent.
02:51:10.000Niggas are swiping credit card through bitches' ass crack.
02:51:14.000They got five niggas palming the ass cheek of scantily clad or dressed women walking down the street.
02:51:21.000Like, you know, again, it becomes a very dicey situation.
02:51:26.000I mean, none of this absolves Diddy, but all I'm saying is that I think, you know, People are going to go down by saying, nah, Diddy was the only one.
02:53:19.000They'll get pissed off at you if you try and do that.
02:53:21.000But you could be there and like take notes and shit like that and you'll be fine.
02:53:27.000Do you think an initial appearance he's like the only person showing up or they're gonna have like a lineup?
02:53:32.000They'll have other people but it's the middle of the week so I don't predict that there's gonna be many other defendants that will be there for their initial appearance.
02:53:40.000So it'll probably be just him and maybe a couple other but yeah I mean it's not that busy.
02:53:48.000Bro, I remember when I was in Laredo, Texas, we'd have a hundred motherfuckers in the courtroom sometimes that got arrested the day before.
02:54:28.000And that's why, like, for me, when I found out that they arrested him at night like that, that tells me, like, they had eyes on him, they had the arrest warrant in hand, they just made the executive decision to pick him right there.
03:04:23.000I'm literally telling Chris to try to get them for tomorrow for you guys.
03:04:28.000He asks a question, if someone uses an affidavit to recant a statement they made under oath, is there any way to find out what the statement was?
03:04:35.000Does the police department still hold the record of what was said?
03:04:39.000You can't recant a statement once you have it under affidavit because you technically lied.
03:06:52.000We'll go live on all platforms, and then it's going to be a Twitch subathon, so we're going to be focusing on Twitch and the Castle Club, of course.
03:07:52.000Assassination attempt, and then we got a couple other things on the news cycle as well to talk about tomorrow.
03:07:57.000So tomorrow's going to be a great episode for you guys, and then Wednesday we'll have Fresh to Fit again for you guys, and then we're going to pretty much be off until the week, because we're going to do some traveling.
03:08:06.000We'll still be streaming and shit like that, but we're not going to be in studio.
