Diddy joins SBF, Avraham Eisenberg in ‘horrific’ Brooklyn prison
American rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and the disgraced crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) are reportedly sharing the same unit at a Brooklyn prison.
Combs, a.k.a. ‘Diddy,’ was jailed last week at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), which has been home to Bankman-Fried since he was sentenced to 25 years behind bars in April.
According to the New York Times, the two are housed in the same unit.
Combs was accused of sex trafficking by US authorities who allege he drugged and abused victims during so-called ‘Freak Offs.’ Combs has pleaded not guilty to the alleged “decades-long pattern of physical and sexual violence.”
Mango Markets exploiter Avraham Eisenberg is also being held at MDC Brooklyn.

Bankman-Fried was handed his lengthy sentence after he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Combs was denied bail twice after attempting to argue against the “horrific” jail conditions. Indeed, the Brooklyn prison has been described as “tougher than Guantánamo Bay,” while Bankman-Fried’s lawyers said it lacks basic amenities, has no recreational prison yard, and subjects inmates to 24/7 fluorescent lighting.
