Attorney Symone Redwine Says RICO Has Been “Proven” Against Diddy in Explosive Court Update
Attorney and legal analyst Symone Redwine has “kept that same energy” with Diddy. I have to give her that. From the beginning, when Cassie Ventura targeted his companies, she presumably gave the Feds the playbook. Now, Attorney Symone says federal prosecutors have effectively proven the RICO case against Diddy. And, she points to explosive new evidence entered into the record.
Broadcasting in the rain on YouTube, Redwine declared, “Y’all, RICO is done. The RICO has officially been proven.” Well, tell us more.
Redwine outlined how Diddy’s own corporate infrastructure, Combs Global and affiliated entities, was used to facilitate alleged criminal acts. She says these acts range from drug distribution to prostitution across state lines. She said the bombshell came when prosecutors presented stipulated text messages, financial records and receipts seized from Diddy and his chief of staff’s phones following federal raids earlier this year.
“When you sue not just Diddy but his corporations, it triggers commercial liability insurance and directors and officers policies,” Redwine explained. “That means it’s no longer Puffy’s choice to settle. The insurance company steps in, and they say, ‘Oh hell no, we’re paying this out.’” Oh wow.
But the real turning point, according to Redwine, was testimony from a U.S. government paralegal, who read into the record a series of messages that included:
Texts arranging drugs: Diddy allegedly sent a message saying “G####’s outside waiting for the 10K,” referring to a known drug dealer.
Approval of illicit purchases: Texts show Diddy approving a $1,200 payment for “flour” (allegedly cocaine), with his accountant Robin Greenhill copied.
Prostitution logistics: Stipulated receipts showed flights booked through Combs Global for alleged sex workers, including Jules Theodore, supporting federal transportation-for-prostitution charges.
Drug orders: One string revealed Diddy texting for “15 Molly pills,” with approval flowing through the business’s financial director.
This is very ugly.
The use of business infrastructure to facilitate and finance these alleged activities is what seals the deal according to the lawyer. Federal prosecutors argue this is exactly what constitutes a criminal enterprise under RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act).
Redwine emphasized that jurors don’t need to believe Diddy’s entire company was built for illegal activity, just that some members of the organization acted in concert to serve a “common goal.” This means they did things protect Diddy’s image or satisfying personal desires. Sound familiar?
“You can be a legitimate company for 20 years,” Redwine said, “but if in the last six months you turn to crime as a collective—that’s RICO.”
Brendan Paul—allegedly Diddy’s drug mule—could further cement the RICO charges, according to Redwine. We knew this was coming the moment he was arrested. Remember him?
“Three cuts in ya eyebrows, tryna wild out…” style did not work out this time. This is the first time the public has seen indisputable documentation, stipulated by both sides, showing the inner workings of what prosecutors claim is a criminal organization disguised as a music empire. And it may be the most damning evidence yet.
I just don’t see how he gets around this, and we have about a month to go. Stay with AllHipHop for continuous updates as this unprecedented legal drama unfolds.
