Sean Combs is currently incarcerated in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, sharing living arrangements with Sam Bankman-Fried, the former cryptocurrency mogul. He faces serious charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Combs' bail request was denied due to concerns of witness tampering. In a related matter, Bankman-Fried is serving a sentence for a massive fraud scandal involving his cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, and is currently pursuing an appeal from M.D.C.
