Sean Combs and the crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried are sleeping in the same jail dormitory.
Combs, known as Diddy, has been in the Brooklyn jail since last week on sex-trafficking charges.
Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year sentence for defrauding customers of his FTX crypto exchange.
The crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried just got a new roommate.
Sean Combs, the rapper known as Diddy, and Bankman-Fried are bunking in the same dormitory of a Brooklyn jail, said a person familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about the housing arrangement. Their identity is known to Business Insider.
Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center for almost a week after being denied bail on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.
Bankman-Fried has been imprisoned at the same jail since last year. He's serving a 25-year sentence for fraud after stealing $8 billion from customers of his FTX crypto exchange. He funneled money into his crypto-trading fund, Alameda Research; venture-capital investments; and political donations. He also used it for personal spending.
The pair are among roughly 20 inmates housed in the area, which is reserved for defendants who need special security, including those with high profiles, people familiar with the situation told NBC News.
