AUSA Slavik: Over the last few weeks, you've learned that Sean Combs is the leaders of a criminal organization. He doesn't take no for an answer. He's into kidnapping. Arson. Forced Labor. Bribery of a security officer. And the brutal crimes of s***trafficking

AUSA Slavik: Consider two moments. March 2016 at the Inter-Continental Hotel. The defendant got violent with Cassie. You saw what happened. He dragged her back to the freak off. 2024 at Jane's house, the defendant choked and hit her. She ran, couldn't get away

AUSA Slavik: These are chapters in the same book. The defendant counted on silence and shame. He thought that his fame and wealth and power put him above the law. Over the last 7 weeks you've heard how he used his staff, to promote his power. No one could stop him

AUSA Slavik: We'll talk about RICO, including s***trafficking and transportation for prostitution, which are also separately charged as stand alone crimes. You may have heard of racketeers. When someone commits crime as part of a group they are more dangerous

AUSA Slavik: A group of people whose purpose was to serve and protect the defendant. It's his Kingdom, everyone was there to serve him, fulfilling all of his desires including his sexual desires. We need to show at least two racketeering crimes

AUSA Slavik: The defendant was the head of the Combs Enterprise. There was an inner circle: his chief of staff and his bodyguards. The names changed, but the roles remained the same. You've heard about KK, Combs' "right brain." She lived in Two Star

AUSA Slavik: She communicated with the defendant's girlfriends. His security, you heard their names: D Roc, Bonds, Rube, Uncle Paulie, Faheem. They were armed and ready. Remember the incident at the diner with Suge Knight? David James told you Combs had guns

AUSA Slavik: In the search, law enforcement found guns - including a rifle with the serial number defaced in LA. 2 AR-15s with their serial numbers cut out, in the defendant's closet. You also have the rotating cast of assistants, paid by the defendant's business

AUSA Slavik: Brendan Paul said he made $100,000 a year. KK made six times that. When your boss asks you to buy d****, you're committing a crime. When you kidnap someone, or locked his girlfriend in a hotel room after your boss stomped on his face, it's a crime

AUSA Slavik: The law does not require us to know that they liked committing these crimes. You saw KK chiding the defendant, to not be so reckless. But she got him cash, d**** - she was a member of the Enterprise. It impacted interstate commerce. Minimal is fine

AUSA Slavik: Combs knowingly became a member. He was the Boss. He was the through line. The racketeering acts? Distribution of d****. Kidnapping. Arson. Bribery. Facilitating s***trafficking of Cassie and Jane. Forced labor. Travel for commercial sex, cover up

AUSA Slavik: You only need to find that someone would commit two acts in any of these categories. It could be two acts of d*** distribution, one kidnapping, just two. You have far more than two. Let's start with d****, an essential ingredient of freak offs

AUSA Slavik: The most involved were D Roc, KK and Faheem. But others helped keep the d*** supply high. We are not talking about marijuana, but what Brendan Paul called hard d****. There are stipulations of the d**** found in the searches.

AUSA Slavik: Cocaine, meth, Oxy, ketamine, a disassociative d***. GHB. Mushrooms. Molly. Tusi, a combination dyed pink. It's 1305 and 1306. The quantities are not relevant, it's not an element of this crime. Distribution does not require a sale.

AUSA Slavik: You know the names of the d*** dealers by now: Guido. One Stop. Babygirl. Jane told you that on two occasions she was told to bring d**** when she flew to meet him. She coordinated with KK. It's corroborated by text messages

AUSA Slavik: KK told Jane to swing by Mapleton to pick up the Guido package. He was called during hotel nights. So we know what the Guido package was: more Ecstasy. The security team knew what it was. Guido texted Faheem, Puff has a $450 balance with me.

AUSA Slavik: Brendan Paul asked for $780 dollars for "personal Gucci items" - that is, hard d****. D**** were distributed. It doesn't matter he wasn't buying kilos or selling them. Personal use is just a distraction. They bought & distributed to people around him

AUSA Slavik: Cassie used d**** at every freak off, supplied by the defendant. He introduced Jane to d****, gave them to her at all but one hotel night. He gave d**** to Kerry Morgan, and Bana Bonolan. He made Brendan Paul try tusi, to see if it was good

AUSA Slavik: D Roc would text One Stop, Need to see someone for Bro - that is, the defendant. Guido asked Faheem to cover the defendant's d*** debt. KK knew he was distributing d**** to the woman for the Wild King Nights

AUSA Slavik: Jane told KK she was having a bad comedown. KK gives pro tips how to deal with it. Plain and simple, this is d*** distribution. How about kidnappings? They committed them under both California and NY law. Consider Cassie - Bond made her stay put

AUSA Slavik: The defendant called Cassie a s***, he stopped on her face. She was disfigured. Roger Bonds caught her and brought her back. The defendant made her go to the London Hotel on Sunset, so no one saw her. She wanted to go home to her mom. But no

AUSA Slavik: It's clear Cassie did not consent to staying in the London Hotel. David James testified the defendant demanded to see his search history, if he had posted that the defendant assaulted Cassie in the club. Then there's Capricorn Clark

AUSA Slavik: They made her take a lie detector test for days in an empty office building in Manhattan. This was in 2004. She was holding expensive jewelry that went missing. Uncle Paulie took her to the future HQ of Bad Boy. She was tested for 5 lies.

AUSA Slavik: The man administering the test told her if she failed she'd end up in the East River. In Central Park the defendant told her if anything happened he'd have to kill her. David James remembers this. He was tested too, to get the rat out of the team

AUSA Slavik: In December 2011, Rube helped the defendant kidnap Capricorn Clark. It started on Dec 22, 2011. The defendant banged on Capricorn's door, with a gun. He was out for revenge. He barked an order at Capricorn: Get dressed, we're going to kill Cudi

AUSA Slavik: They drove to Kid Cudi's house, the defendant had a gun in his lap. This was kidnapping, he moved her a substantial distance. The defendant said he wouldn't let her told until she brought him Cassie- who he kicked when she arrived, into fetal position

AUSA Slavik: Cassie, who was with Kid Cudi that morning, testified with this. The officer who responded to the 9-1-1 call he saw a black Escalade registered to Bad Boy. Then on January 12, 2012 the defendant had Kid Cudi's car set on fire: Arson

AUSA Slavik: What are the odds, he says it and it happened. The coincidences just keep on coming. The defendant and Rube just happened to be there a few weeks before. Kid Cudi was driving the same Porsche the night of the trespass. What are the odds?

AUSA Slavik: Kid Cudi had conflicts with no one except the defendant. Then D Roc brought Kid Cudi to the defendant, who was looking like a Marvel super villain. Years later the defendant apologizes to Kid Cudi. Then there's bribery - the 2016 video
