Breaking News : Diddy paid inmates of Brooklyn jail to use their phone accounts and directed family members to make social media posts to influence public opinion

According to federal prosecutors, Sean Diddy Combs is trying to sway public opinion and thwart justice before his upcoming trial on charges of racketeering and human trafficking by paying other prisoners to access their phone accounts and giving his family members instructions to share carefully curated messages on social media, as quoted in a report by Rolling Stone.

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York claim in a new court document obtained by Rolling Stone that the music mogul, who is currently being held in a federal detention facility in Brooklyn, intentionally broke jail rules by using at least eight other prisoners’ phone numbers to make calls since his arrest in Manhattan on September 16. The recordings are in the possession of the prosecutors.

It appears that the defendant uses the PAC numbers of other prisoners to call both people on the defendant’s approved contact list and people who are not on the approved contact list in order to evade law enforcement surveillance.
