Federal prosecutors are pushing to confiscate profits made by Sean “Diddy” Combs, claiming his billion-dollar empire was partially constructed through a criminal network involving sex trafficking, forced labor and violence.
Officials aim to seize assets linked to Diddy’s vast business landscape, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises and Combs Global.
The indictment spells out the government’s plan to remove any acquisitions and earnings tied to his alleged illicit operations, touching every facet of his music, media and lifestyle brands.
The allegations against Diddy are staggering, outlining an organized scheme of abuse, coercion and physical brutality.
Prosecutors assert that he led a sprawling network trafficking women across state boundaries for commercial sex, using threats and violence to manipulate them into performing sexually explicit acts.
The claims indicate that Diddy’s alleged violent behavior was not only for his satisfaction but also a method to uphold his public image and empire.
Beyond Diddy’s entertainment ventures, the government has secured multiple items from his homes in Miami and Los Angeles as evidence, including firearms and narcotics, enhancing their case of racketeering and criminal activity.
Seized items included three AR-15 rifles with altered serial numbers, ammunition and materials linked to infamous “Freak Offs”—secretive sexual gatherings orchestrated by Diddy, according to the indictment.
The detailed document also accuses Diddy and his associates of employing intimidation, economic manipulation and threats to suppress victims and deter witness testimonies.
The asset forfeiture strategy shows how serious the government’s commitment is to disassembling the monetary foundation of Diddy’s conglomerate, arguing that it grew through exploiting vulnerable individuals.
