Sean “Diddy” Combs has been moved to a section of the New York City jail where convicted cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried is being held, sources confirmed to NBC News.
The area of the detention center is reserved for detainees who require special protection, three sources familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
Combs, 54, was arrested last week and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a federal jail that has a notorious reputation for violence and poor care.
Also in that special section is Bankman-Fried, 32, who the chief federal prosecutor in Manhattan said orchestrated one of the largest financial frauds in history, stealing more than $8 billion, the sources said.
The unit is described as a barracks-style area housing 18 to 20 inmates who require special protection, according to the sources, from high-profile defendants to people who cooperate with investigations. It is considered general population in nature, but with added security.
