• 0:23
  Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us

  Speaker 1: all the horror stories.

  Speaker 2: Fully testimony with.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Her one assistant having go to the hospital working for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Ditty was making her go bald. She was losing her hair.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: He is beating the living crap out of your daughter.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Did he had three guns across his lap? I don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: like this back and forth.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I prefer guns bombshell in the courtroom. In the last hours,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's revealed that Sean Combs aka Ditty allegedly paid off
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: an employee to the tune of one hundred thousand dollars
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to get that Cassie Ventura video. Let's take a look
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: at the Cassie Ventura beat down video. Now, it was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: speculated upon so much in the press. Where did the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: video come from? Did it come from the raid on?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Did he's mansion? Did he have it there? Where did
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it come from? Wow? You wonder why he paid one
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand our dollars for this? Did he think it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: would never come to light. Busted in court sworn testimony
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that Shawn Holmes paid one hundred thousand dollars to get
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: his mits on this video. Look at it. I want
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to see more of the Cassie video. This is the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: video that cracked this case wide open. Cassie Ventura used
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: this to sue Sean Comes. Within twenty four hours, when
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he realized she had oh this, he settled and then
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: released his scraping apology video. Now this goes on. He
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: drags her off and nothing but a tiwl. So arrogant
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he thinks that's okay to run around a paush hotel
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like the Inner Continental and nothing but a towel. Thank Heaven,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't have to see that towel drop and see
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the TUTSI roll. But that said, it goes on. But
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this video was used in her civil lawsuit. And this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: video was like pulling the tiger by the tail. You
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: can't hold on and you can't let go. Because once
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Feds saw this, they had to do something. The
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: statute of limitations had run in the local jurisdiction, so
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it was up to the Feds, and what were they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: gonna do? Stand there with their thumb up their ear end. No,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they had to act. Therefore, the multi count federal indictment.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: No wondering. He paid one hundred grand to get his
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: mits on it, joining me an all star panel, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: first trate out to Sydney Sumner Crime Stories investigative reporter
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: who has been on the case from the very beginning.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Sidney Sumner one hundred thousand dollars, what happened? I bet
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Sewan comes is just twirling around in his chair in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that courtroom.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Tell me everything, well, Nancy Eddie Garcia told us that
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Christina Coorum was actually the first person to reach out
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: to him trying to obtain a copy of that video,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: and Garcia told her, no, there's no way I can
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: do that. You're going to have to talk to hotel
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: management or you're going to have to get a subpoena.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: And after talking on the phone with Christina Korum and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: telling her no, this isn't an option, she then showed
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: up to the hotel asked him in person again. He
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: again politely told her no, she would have to go
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: through the proper channels to get that video, but he
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: did tell her, you know, off the record, this video
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: is bad, so Charsina Korum then calls back and puts
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Sean Combs on the phone to have Combs of Kim
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to get a copy of this video. Again, Garcia is like,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: you know what, No, I can't do this. This has
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to go through management, and Garcia starts running that up
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the chain. So, now that he has had three separate
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: conversations where he's had to tell these people no, he
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: goes to management and tells them what's going on. Then
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: he gets a call on his personal cell phone number,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: which he did not give out, and at this point
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: he's a little bit scared. He gets this call on
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: his personal phone number. Both Christina Korum and Combs are
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: still trying to convince him to give this video, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Comb mentions, you know what, I'll take care of you
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: if you help me out, and Garcia immediately took that
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: to be a finance she'll offer. So Garcia goes to
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: his boss and his boss says, you know what, tell
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: them we'll do it for fifty K, and he relays
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: that over the phone back to Comb's and Comb agrees
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: to this fifty k, how soon can you get it
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to me? Here's the address where you should meet me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: So Eddie goes to this meeting with a USB stick
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: of the only copy of the video, hands it over
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: and Christina Korum is there, so he calls Koram to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: let her know that he's arrived to make this exchange.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: She gets a security guard to bring him up to
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Combe's room and he meets with Combs. Christina Koram is
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: in and out of the room. Combs wanted to ensure
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that this was the only copy of that video. He
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: made Garcia repeat that like ten times, and he also
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: told Garcia that Cassie wanted this video gone too. Everybody
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: wanted this to disappear. Garcia was doing the right thing
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: by giving them the copy of this video. So Comb's
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: make Garcia sign these intimidating documents. Garcia just wants to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: get out of there, and those documents were confirming that
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: that was the only copy of this video in an NBA.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: So Garcia testifies that he didn't really read those documents
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: to get an idea of what he was actually signing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: He just wanted to get out of there as quickly
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: as possible. Then Comb start counting out this huge sum
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in stacks of ten thousand dollars, and they had agreed
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: upon fifty k, but comb counts out one hundred thousand,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and Combs intended that money, So the fifty k for
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the actual video, then split the other fifty between you
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and the security guard that responded to the incident to
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: keep this quiet. So that's how Garcia took the extra
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: fifty k that was coming in. And he says Christina
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Korum was in and out of the room as Combs
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: was counting this money, so she knew that he was
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: being paid off for giving the copy of this video.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: And a few weeks later, Combs checked in with him
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: one more time just to make sure that was the
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: only copy, and he never heard from him again.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Joining me. In addition to Sidney Sumner in an All
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Star panel, Nima Ramani with us. Let me tell you
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: about Ramani, former federal prosecutor, turn trial lawyer, president the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: West Coast Trial Lawyers, author of Harvard to hashtag. It
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: goes on and on and on, but the important part
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for me is he was a fed. Okay, the state
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: system is very different from the federal system. I was
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: lucky to get to be a FED for three years
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: before I became a violent crime prosecutor. Very different animal
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Nima Ramani, can you say unindicted co conspirator, and I'm
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: talking about Korum, who denies all wrongdoing. She was there,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: she was on the scene on endie co conspirator. Explain, Nancy.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: We've been talking about Christina horm for months now, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: she's comebs, this right hand woman, and she knows where
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: the bodies are buried, and she's actually an active participant
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: in this obstruction of justice, this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Witness tampering scheme, this bribery scheme, which of course is
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: a Rico predicate act.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: So I believe the FEDS are leaning on her and
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: she will testify. She's going to turn on her former employer,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Sean Diddy Combs. It's just a matter of days before
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: she's on the stand.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know, Ramani, I've never accused you of throwing around
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Latin or legal phrases. Again, you know yourrs don't like that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Not everybody is miserable enough to have lived through law
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: school and had to put up with other lawyers for
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a living. You know, they can be very obnoxious. You're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: mistuck on an elevator in the courthouse with a bunch
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of lawyers. They're constantly throwing around legal terms and Latin
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: terms to impress people. Please stop when you say this
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is a predicate act. Could you just please talk and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: regular people talk, because I had rage A the other
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: day telling me how Comes is not going to be convicted,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that this is not sex trafficking and it's not rico.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Rico is it's the prize here, all right, that's what
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the feds want. They want a conviction on rico, which
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is a criminal enterprise. Simply put, it can be a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: loosely joined together group of people that take part in
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a criminal enterprise. That's what it is. It's really not hard,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: no legal mumbo jumbo necessary. And when you have employees
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: or minions as I call them, doing your illegal bidding
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: such as helping bribe someone, which is extortion, that makes
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: them part of the criminal enterprise. Extortion is a predicate act.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Now explain in regular people talk what you mean and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: why this is a reco case. It's not hard, it's.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Not and that's why Rayja doesn't understand the law. So,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: like you said, you just need that loose association that's
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: the criminal enterprise.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: Bad boy records with ditty at the top. That's enough.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Then you need a pattern of racketeering activities. So what
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: does that mean. You just need two crimes that happen
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: within a ten year period. So what are those types
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: of crimes. It could be sex trafficking, it can be prostitution,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: and say we've had lots of evidence of that, obstruction
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: of justice, witness tampering arson kid cutty his car.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: So you can have bribery. So as long as you
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: have these what we.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Call racketeering predicate acts or these crimes, that's the racket.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: So you don't need to be the mom, you don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: need to be a drug cartel or a streakingk.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: You can convince Combs of racketeering as long as you
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: have these elements, which we do in this case. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: the reason Rico is so important and so powerful, Nancy
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: is you can bring in a lot of evidence.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: And a lot of people in the case. So someone
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: like Christina jorm even if she didn't make the actual payment,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: as long as she is a co conspirator she enters
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: into this unlawful agreement with Diddy to bribe someone or
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: to pay off a witness, she's on the hook for
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: all the crimes.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Further into the conspiracy, even the sex trafficking so y Ja.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: He you know, it doesn't have to be a bunch
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of thugs. It doesn't have to be the mob. Rico
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: has been used in LA I might add wide spread corruption.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Rico has been used on the LAPD and it worked
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: on cops. So it's not just about the mob. For
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Rico joining me. In addition to Sydney and Nima, Rob
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Shecheeter is with me and Rob Sheeter sometimes I don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: know if I love you or I hate you. Because
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you worked for Diddie Seawan Combs for years. You quit,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: God bless you. You had to see legal turn crap
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: ton of misbehavior. Let me tell you about Shooter. He's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a PR guru. He worked for Combs. He orchestrated tons
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of combs. PR and PR was comes specialty in his mind,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and he was a tyrant. He is a host of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Naughty but Nice podcast and that's it. Rob Shooter s
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: h U T E R Not Bang Bang Shoot Robshooter
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: dot substack dot com and author of the ForWord Answer Shooter.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: With that introduction, are you surprised? Comes suppusted and a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars extortion.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not surprised. But first of all, let me say, Nancy,
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: I think you love me. I know you don't hate me.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: I think it's loved. How about back to the subject
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: matter at hand. If he was a bully, he had
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: a lot of money. He liked to flash it around.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I remember going to restaurants with him and he always
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: had cash and he'd always have one hundred dollars bill
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: in his hand to give the matre d to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: a better table.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: He gave huge tips. He always used to say tip.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait, let me just hold on.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: You say so much, I might drink you from the fire. Hydicht,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: let me get this picture. So I got Sean Combs
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in his entourage at some fancy restaurant that I would
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: never dream of putting my toe in. And he gets
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a seat. But it's not the right seat in the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: fancy restaurant. So he's got to get the right seat.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Are you serious? He would pay an extra one hundred
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: dollars to get not just a seat, but the right seat.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: It really mattered to him. This is who he is.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: I couldn't care less where I sat. I'd be lucky
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: enough to get in. For him, it really did matter.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: He thought everybody was watching him, and to some extent
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: that was true. And he thought having did not sit at.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: The best table was a bad look.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And so he would make sure that wouldn't happen.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: How you do if you seat Sean Combs by the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: men's bathroom or the kitchen he's forbid, or the entry
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: way where he might feel the wind when they opened
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the door, hta in Oh, that ain't gonna happen. Just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: give me an example. What are some of the restaurants
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that Sean Combs would favor.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: There was a restaurant in New York that he loved
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: called Nobu. It's still open.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But he also too, I went as in his calm ones.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Do you know how much one piece of sushi is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: at Nobu? It's like forty dollars one? And I don't
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: mean a roll shooter. I'm not talking about six pieces.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about one little piece. Seventy Jerry forty bucks Nobou.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: And then he puts even morebody down on the table
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: to get what he thinks is the seat he deserves.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: My point here, though, is he is used to throwing
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: money and any situation to get what he wants.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Why the way you said that throwing a money? Okay,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: go ahead, I want to hear about one hundred thousand dollars.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Of money, Boney.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: I was withsing once and he was told his fashion
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: week in New York and he wanted to go to
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: a fashion show. And I called the fashion people to
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: try and get him in and he was told no.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: So what did did he do? This might sound familiar.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: He asked me for the number, and he called himself,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: and I think he offered money to an assistant to
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: young stylist.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: We are living in this Dirty Diddy dystopian dumpster world.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: In some way, shape or form, Dirty Diddy is going down.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: My time working with Diddy was extraordinary, Nancy. I've never
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: experienced anything like that. Again, he was the ringmaster and
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: we played along with his circus.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Again, when you don't know what horse, look at his
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: track record. Diddy busted Diddy bucks one hundred thousand dollars
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: paid off for what he thought was the only copy
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of the Cassie Ventura beat Down video. Why would he
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: pay one hundred thousand dollars? Oh there he is half
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: naked again. Oh he's walking that way because he's dragging
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Cassie Ventira behind him one hundred thousand dollars. Why did
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he pay that? Why did he pay four hundred thousand
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: dollars to Mia and the defense tried so hard to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: discredit her? Why did he pay twenty mil to Cassi
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Ventira to get her to shut her pie hole? But
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was it Sydney Sumner? Was it the only copy of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the video?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Unbeknownst to Eddie Garcia, it was not. He believed that
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Israel Flores was very by the book, and that's the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: security guard we heard from on the stand first, and
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: he didn't think that Israel Flores would have taken a
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: copy of at home. But Flora testified that he wanted
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: to show his wife what had happened because otherwise she
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: wouldn't believe in that phone video that he took of
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: The surveillance footage ended up being one of the only
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: surviving copies as far as we know, we still don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: know exactly how CNN obtained their copy of the video.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Well, you know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: What, Robert Crispins joining me private investigator was with former
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Federal Task Force officer for the US Department of Justice
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in the Miami Field Division. They're not sitting around twiddling
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: their thumbs. Former homicide Crimes against Children investigator. He is
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: now at Crispin Investigations dot com. Crispin, don't you just
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: hate it when you blackmail somebody to the team of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: one hundred grand and there's another video floating around rent Row?
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: I mean, really, come on, think about it. Do you
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: really think that no one else was going to have
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: a video of ditting kicking the hell out of somebody,
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: especially Cassie Ventura?
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Come on?
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: So here's the beauty of all this with the government,
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: this cast of guard Leonard stuffed this King for a day,
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Queen for a day.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: They need people to.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: Give testimony ilure being indicted to say what happened?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, Crispin, hold on just a moment. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: want you to factor this into your answer. Hold on
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a shooter with me, Rob Shooter? What was Sean Comes's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: reaction typically when he doesn't get his way, because in court,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: when he was watching Brian Steele, who's a very very
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: good trial lawyer. It's a great defense attorney, right, I've
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: watched him in action. So Steele started off with Mia
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with the Andy and Mayberry approach, trying to get the answers,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but yet being genial to her. He didn't want to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: beat up on mea And you could see Sean Kin's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: going Hugh Ell moving around and twisting around and holding
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: his face all that. I mean, he could see him
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and then cudainly Brian still has a change of heart.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can imagine if if Diddy is driving,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is steering that ship, then he gets really mean to me.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Still does so did he not getting what he wants?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine how angry he was when he finds
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: out that was one hundred thousand dollars right down the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: crapper there was another copy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sure he was absolutely furious. Let me tell
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: you a little bit of a secret here about Puffey.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: But somebody with all the money that he has is
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: incredibly cheap. He never wanted to pay for anything he
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: didn't have to pay for.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: He wanted to.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Get free clothes, free dinners, free tickets if he went
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: at the club's restaurants. He just didn't want to pay
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: for stuff. And so for him to have to reach
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: into his own pockets and pay one hundred thousand dollars,
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: which I think that tape is incredibly cheap. That tape
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: is going to change his life, and so it was
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: worth tens of millions of dollars for him to get
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: it for one hundred thousand dollars cheap, and then to
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: find out he didn't get it all there was another copy.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: He will have exploded.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And he's exploded, what do you mean? Throw himself on
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the floor and kick like a school a school child,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a two year old, screaming and kicking and snarling and crying.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: What does he do when he doesn't get his way? Well,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I know he beats Cassie Ventra and others. But what
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: is he like when he doesn't get his way? Or
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: does he always get his way?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: He normally always does get his own way, and so
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: when he doesn't, it's hard for him to believe.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It's like a shock. At first. He doesn't quite know
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: what to do because he never gets told no.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: There's nothing that he doesn't think he can fix with money,
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: with power, with making a personal phone call.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: He deeply believes.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: In his own ability to convince you to do something
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: that you otherwise wouldn't want to do. But he's a screamer,
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: he's a shouter, He's a violent man. He could throw things.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: I've seen him get so angry that he looks like
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: he's about to pash out, pass out. The veins in
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: his neck are popping.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: He turns into.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, I need to hear about that, Shooter. What do
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you mean When he doesn't get his way, he looks
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: like he's going to pass out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: He gets so angry and answer. He gets so angry
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: he forgets to breathe like he.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Just can't believe that somebody says no to him. He
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: can't believe it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just imagining when Shawn comes finds out there's another
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: video floating around crime stories with Nancy Grace, Rob Shooter
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: joining us from Naughty but Nice. Oh that but hold
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on everybody very quickly to Robert Crispin. Now that you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: know more about Shawn comes from someone that knows him.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Can you only imagine him gnashing his teeth and twisting
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: his tail when he finds out there's another video and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he gave a harndd away for it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, he's not too happy right now. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: now people are parading in and talking about it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: People that could have been indicted, but they needed these people.
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: They needed to seal up that part of the testimony.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: For that money.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We are live at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Manhattan,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the Monahan Building, standing by his investigative reporter, Lauren Conlins.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: He's been in the courtroom all day long. Start off
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Pop Crime TV. What a bomb, a state bomb for
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the defense druck right in the middle of that clatch
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of lawyers. One hundred thousand dollars Diddybucks paid all four bribery.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Bribery which, as Romani pointed out, is a predicate at.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: You have to have an underlying felony or predicate at
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: to prove Rico, tell me how that went over in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the courtroom. Yes, Nancy.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: We started off by getting a really big interruption by
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: a woman that works for the MTA. The entire courtroom
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: turned around. This is before Eddie Garcia, the witness, walked in.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: But that was quite a moment. She was screaming at
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: the press, saying that the press is awful and the
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: press is laughing at Ditty, And you should have seen
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Ditty's face as well as everyone in the courtroom.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: We were all in shock.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: But back to Eddie Garcia, I mean, this testimony was
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: incredibly important to this case, as you know. He testified
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: that he received multiple calls from Christina Porum, Ditty's assistant,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: before she eventually passed the phone over to Sean Holmes himself.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Eddie Garcia described talking to him saying, you know, look,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I already told your assistant here, but I don't have
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: any clearance to obtain this video that you want me
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: to obtain.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I cannot go in this room.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Only my boss can do that. And he described did
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: he kind of just buttering him up, saying, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I know you can do it, Eddie, I believe.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: In you type of thing.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: And he also described Diddy is being very nervous seeming
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: on the phone saying, look, this could destroy my reputation.
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: If it gets out.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Now he said, okay, you know, I'll talk to my boss,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: et cetera. And this was actually after receiving a call
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: from Ditty and Christina on his cell phone. They started
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: off by calling him at the general security desk. They
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: somehow got his cell phone, which he said did make
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: him a little bit nervous, and he said that, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: he talked to his boss and he said, look, this is.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: What's going on.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: They want this video and his boss said, Okay, tell
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: him fifty thousand dollars. They make this meeting happen where
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Diddy tells him a meeting place. He goes and gets
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: this black USB from his boss at the Intercontinental, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: he goes and he meets with Ditty, and he describes
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: being taken up to this room by one of Ditty's
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: security guards. He meets with Christina Korum and then eventually Diddy,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: and he says that after some back and forth, did
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: he requested the IDs of Eddie Garcia and his boss,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: another gentleman. And one of the first testimonies we heard,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I think it actually was the first one was Israel Flores,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: who also was on duty that day. But Eddie Garcia said,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think that Israel Flores is going to go
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: for this. So they got the idea of somebody else
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: and they texted these to him. He went in another room,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: came back, got an NDA. Eddie Garcia had to sign
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: this this NDA, and then eventually did He came back
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: with a brown bag of money and a money counter,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and he did not get fifty thousand dollars. He got
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars. And he also said that about
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: two weeks later it was easter did he called him
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: again to check in, saying, Eddie, my angel, you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: how are you have you heard anything or anybody mentioned
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: this video at all? And he said no, and.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: That was that. Could you tell me what this reaction
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in the courtroom when it came out from not one
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: but two witnesses that Comes had bribed one hundred thousand
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: dollars to get that video.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I'd say today the jury is much more reserved than
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: they were while listening to Mia. I mean, this is
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: important testimony, so they are listening intently. I would say
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: their heads kind of go back and forth between the
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: lawyer and the witness, you know, appropriately, and they look
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: at the documents that they're reading. We saw multiple times
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the NDA on the screen and these jurors they were
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: reading it. They wanted to catch every word here.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm very curious to doctor Bethany Marshall joining
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a psychoanalyst out of la and author doctor Bethany to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: hear what she's saying, what Lauren Colin is stating, to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: finally be hit with reality that you've been uncovered in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a bribe, and what's so important about the bribe not
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: just bribery on its own, but it serves as a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: required underlying felony to show rico. And you know Sean
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Combs knows that, and it's just pouring from the witness stand.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, he can beat down Cassie Ventura, but
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: he can't beat down the prosecution. He cannot beat down
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: the fence. And this is the telling moment for him.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: I wish I had like a monitor to rate his
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: to measure his perspiration rate, his heart rate, to see
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: what he's really going through. I bet he's flooded right now.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: I bet he's enraged. Like Rob Shooter talked about the
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: veins bulging out, he is probably enraged. He doesn't feel guilty,
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: he doesn't feel worried, Nancy. He is mad and he's
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: not going to be able to get away with this
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: once he's incarcerated. He's going to have plenty of incidents
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: when he's called on bad behavior and there's nothing he's
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: going to be able to do about it. You can't
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: buy your way out of it once you're incarcerated. And
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: this interaction about the one hundred thousand dollars, you know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: this is just one iteration of many incidentss where he's
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: bought people off.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Lauren Colin joining us from on them on hand courthouse.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: She's been in the courtroom the entire day. Lauren Colin
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: tell me about the woman that started screaming, What was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that all about? That was so crazy.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I have to say I've seen her pretty much here
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: at the courthouse every day. She apparently works for the MTA.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: She does seem to have some issues. I'm clearly not
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: a doctor, but I've seen her cause a fuss outside.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: She just is always yelling at the press. And this
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: morning I was literally three feet away when she walked
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: into the courtroom, because she is a member of the public,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and she did get here early enough to put her
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: name on the list, and I think she was actually
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: the number one bought. So she walked in the courtroom
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: and this is before the.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Jury walked in.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: The judge was discussing some issues with the defense and
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the Feds, and she just starts screaming, diddy the you know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: they're laughing at you. They're laughing at you, meaning the press.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And then at one point they're trying there's three marshals
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: on her. They're trying to usher her out. She's standing still,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: and she says to one of the marshals, go ahead
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: and use your gun. And that's when a bunch of
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: the press kind of turned around to make sure their
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: back wasn't you know, to the scene, because it was.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: It was pretty alarming. But you had to have seen
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Diddy's face. He literally was like, what is even happening
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: His jaw was on the ground.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Kimberly Melman a Rose co
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: joining US executive director of Freedom Light, human trafficking expert
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and author of Hidden in Plane Side America, Slaves of
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the New Millennium. This incredible book. By the way, doctor Kimberly,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Doctor Kimberly. An aspect
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that I have observed, and I want to see the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Cassie V video again. I'll tell you why sex traffickers
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: are rapists, especially serial rapists. They believe they're gonna get
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: away with it, and usually they do. If you take
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Combs for example, all the years years he has been
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: attacking people, according to the alleged victims, drugging them, raping them,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: videoing them without their consent, but naked in all sorts
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: of positions. Here he is in a public hotel Hallway,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: doctor Kimberly, And he doesn't care. That's actually fine with him,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: to beat her, to stop around in his socks and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: his towel, that's okay. The arrogance of these sex traffickers
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and sex offenders. They're convinced nobody's ever gonna tell on them.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: The security guards aren't gonna hand over the video. No
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: one would dare cross Diddy. Is it a common character
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: trait among sex traffickers, doctor Kimberly.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: Well, first of all, thank you for having me, Nancy,
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: and I would say that we certainly see with all
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: types of sexuality based offenders that can be in Bolden
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: when they are, their crimes are met with some level
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: of impunity. And I think that Diddy's celebrity status has
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: certainly bought him some privileges that the average person who
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: gauge age engages in criminal activity is not afforded. The
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: difference here, though, is his pattern of criminal activity. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: think you hit the nail on the head when you
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: had your opening and you said the statutal limitations for
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: locally based charges had elapsed, and I think that's right.
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: I don't think anybody disputes I don't even think that
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: the friense disputes that their client is a criminal, he
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: has engaged in criminal activity. I think their argument is
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: that the statutal limitations has elapsed and that there's an
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: overreach with the types of charges that he's facing with
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: regards to human trafficking. From what I can see from
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: this case, I think there is some atypicality. For example,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: we don't see Cassy being sold off to other people.
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: We don't see the dipos.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Kimberly, she was trafficked to other people according to her,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: because sex workers were flown in to have sex with
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: her on video even when she didn't want That wouldn't
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that constitute.
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: Typically listen is it would be atypical. But I understand
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: exactly what you're saying here, Nancy, and this is why
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: this is a precedent setting case. But typically the trafficking
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: when somebody is sold to another person, the person who's
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: receiving those sexual services would be the commercial sex consumer
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: and would be paying the trafficker. That's what would happen
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: typically in a sex trafficking situation. This is atypical in
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: the sense of comes was paying sex workers to engage
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: in sexual activities? With Cassy. Some of those sex workers
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: testified and saying and stated that she seemed to be
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: enjoying herself quote unquote. I think that that's all for debate,
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: and I think that that's part of the adversarial presentation
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: of this case in front.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Of the jury. Okay, that is a mouthful doctor Bethony
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Marshall response.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: About him throwing those lavish parties with women who are compromised,
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: and because of that, he promotes his business to celebrities,
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: and that part has yet to come out. But he
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: is benefiting quite a bit from this. He may not
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: be taking cash, but he is taking business deals, the
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: sale of his clothing, his perfume, everything. He is reaping
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: all the benefits of this.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: And in that Cassie beat.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: Down tape, Nancy a little detail is I think she's
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: carrying an airman's purse. He rushes out, he grabs the
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: purse as if it's his own, and grabs her drags
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: her down the hallway. What is the difference between that
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: and a pimp on the street giving a twelve year
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: old a very small gift and then withdrawing it when
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: she doesn't obey him. This is slavery and sex trafficking
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: one oh one.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: It just takes an unusual form bombshell in the trial
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of Seawan Combs in court today evidence of a one
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars bribe paid for the Cassie Ventira beat
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: down video. That wasn't the only witness on the stand,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Sydy Summer Crime Stories investigative reporter. Wasn't there a bookkeeper
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: for bad Boy Records that took the stand? That's correct.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Derek Ferguson, who was the former eas financial officer for
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Sean Diddycomb's businesses, has been on the stand, and he
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: worked for Diddy for a very long time nineteen ninety
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: eight to twenty seventeen. So are you giving us a
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: rundown of how finances worked for that business? Who carried money?
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: It wasn't uncommon for staff to be handling large amounts
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: of cash back in the day, laying out exactly how
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: finances worked for Shawan Combe's businesses, saying that Shawn Colms
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: occasionally used company cards to charge personal charges and that
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: staff later went back and reconciled where exactly money needed
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: to shift from account to account to cover those charges.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on by ba ba ba ba wah, wait, wait, wait, Sydney.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: As usual, you're giving me a ton of evidence. Let
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: me sift through because you know I like to go
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: through each line individually. Okay, Nimo Ramani. Did you hear
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: what Derek Ferguson's testifying to. It's Shawn Conne's former CFO
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: on the stand. You know he knows where the bodies
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: are buried. Did you hear what she just said? That
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: they would make these expenditures, say, let's say a thousand
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: dollars for baby oil and astro glide or one hundred
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: grand payoff, and then the accountant would have to figure
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: out how to shift funds, in other words, cook the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: books to make it all sure to be business expenses.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: That's what that is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: That's absolutely what it is, Nancy. And this is consistent
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: with all the assistants what they've been testifying to. That
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: they had a lot of cash, and then when it
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: was something unlawful or something for the freak offs, they
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: would use that cash. And if it was something legitimate
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: like a meal, they would charge the credit card right
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: the business account. And look, even when comb's paid off,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Eddie Garcia, he told him, don't make any large purchases.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: He knew that this was illegal, just like he paid
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: cash to the sex workers.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: He paid cash for the drugs.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: There's something wrong with cash, but usually nancy people use cash,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: large amounts of it when they're engaged in illegal activity.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: That's exactly what we're seeing.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Here, isn't it true? Name of Romani that banks across
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the country. When you make a ten thousand dollars withdrawal,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I mean or deposit, the bank says, wa, whoa, whoa,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, ten grand, ten grand and one dollar.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: We've got to account for that. Are you a doper?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Because that's common that amount of cash used. Something's way wrong.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I have to dig around just to get out of
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: a parking deck. You know, I'm looking under the carpet
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in the minivan who carries one hundred grand? Sean Combs,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Now listen to this, Ramiani Ferguson. You know the meek,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: mild mannered account on the Standard Scribes properties comes on
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: in Miami, New York. The Hampton's executives are given American
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Express cards for expenses, but the business relies on cash.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Many of the quote performers sex traffic workers requested cash
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: as payment. The bodyguards carried cash. That's what we're hearing
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: from Ferguson. See where I'm going with this. Hold On,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: let me go to Robert Crispin. Crispin, when you raid
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: a doper, don't you get like any balls as I
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: call them, and you test that money. It's covered in
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: dope particles, money, cash, What does it mean?
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Stacks.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: It's illegal.
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: It's derived from the illegal proceeds of criminal activity. And
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: it's everywhere in a search warm, it's all over. It's
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: in the rooms, they're in safe They're in the.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Bad guy's pocket. Yeah, all over the place.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: My best friend, my best friend girl is a dope lawyer,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and she carries I don't know, six hundred dollars in
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: a ball in her sock whatever you know where that
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: came from. It's dope money. It's her legal fee from dopers. Now,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, when I hear this, doctor Bethany Marshall, I'm
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: making poking fun at my friend carrying six hundred dollars
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: rolled up in her sock. It's dope money. My point
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: is this shows a nefarious nature. Right of course, the
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: thinking it through. I can't use my credit card, I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: can't certainly write a check to what was his name,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the punisher, the sex worker, because that's wrong and I'll
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: get caught, so I have to pay in cash. It's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: an age old method of hiding crime.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: You know, Nancy. And not just in this kind of
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: a criminal enterprise. But remember when Warren Chefs of the
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: FLDS cult was pulled over with all of his wives.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: He had tons of cash and.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: He was headed to Las Vegas.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: This is so typical of these top heavy male enterprises
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: where they keep women under their thumb who then abuse
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: other women. There's always cash at the top.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: And Nancy that escalade.
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: Remember when Kid Cutty's car had a Molotov cocktail thrown
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: in it. That escalade was registered to bad Boy Records,
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: meaning he was paying for that escalade from business funds.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: He was writing it off as a business expense. He
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: probably wrote one hundred thousand dollars off as a business expense. Hey,
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: the hotel where he was staying where he beat Cassie Ventura,
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: he paid for that was business funds. Are those freakoffs
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: business expenses? Of course not. That's a lot of shifting
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: money around that accountant had to do.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Oh what a tangled web we weave. When first we
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: practiced to deceive. You think the fans can't see through
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: all that money? Please? You remember in the Wizard of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: oz Nima Romani when Dorothy throws the water on the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: witch and she's I'm melting. That's what's happening right now?
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Did he melting with this money evidence? Because everything else,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: just like ray Ja the other day, please says it's
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: just domestic abuse, one hundred grand bribe, Molotov cocktail. Now
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: we're if you don't want to believe Ventura and Maya,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: about the beatings, what about the arson? What about the bribe? Now,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: this is some hard evidence that cannot be shaded with
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the umbrella. Oh it's just a spat between a girlfriend
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: and a boyfriend. No, it's not. He's melting.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: Even if the jurors don't believe Cassie venture and they
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: believed that she was a willing participant in the freak offs,
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: that they were consensual, the Feds can still get a
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: conviction on Rico, with arson, with kidnapping, with bribery, with obstruction,
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: with witness tampering.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: There's many many paths to get there.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: That's why the Rico charge is so incredibly important. It
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: allows the FEDS and the Department of Justice to potentially
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: put Diddy away for life, even if the.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Jurs don't believe the sex trafficking was forced or course.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: We remember now an American hero share of Andrew Clark
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to Cab County, killed in the line of duty, survived
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: by grieving wife Jody and four beautiful children Brianna, Brooklyn, Alexavier,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and Chloe. American hero Sheriff Andrew Clark. Nancy Grace signing
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: off goodbye friend.
