COURTHOUSE,
Oct 19 – At 4:30 pm on
September 16 Inner City Press
was told by its SDNY source to
expect "the big one" - Sean
Combs - the next day in the
courtroom here.
At 10:30 pm, from
SDNY News, this: "USA Damian
Williams: Earlier this
evening, federal agents
arrested Sean Combs, based on
a sealed indictment filed by
the SDNY. We expect to
move to unseal the indictment
in the morning and will have
more to say at that time."
At US Attorney
Damian Williams' press
conference Inner City Press
asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said. Detention memo on
Patreon here.
In the run-up to
the 2:30 pm hearing Combs'
counsel file a bail proposal,
with $50 million bond - filing

On September 30,
Combs' lawyers filed a notice
of appeal of detention to the
2d Circuit.
On October 11 the
Second Circuit sent Combs'
bail appeal to a three-judge
panel but denied release
pending their consideration -
order on Patreon here.
On October 16,
the Second Circuit set Combs'
bail appeal for argument on
November 4.
Then Combs asked
for the appeal to be "held in
abeyance," seeking to re-apply
to Judge Subramanian for
release. But on Saturday
October 19 the US opposed,
stating among other things
"Combs’s motion to hold his
appeal in abeyance pending
possible motion practice in
the District Court should be
denied. Oral argument is
now less than 16 days away.
The Court should not delay its
decision on this appeal based
merely on the hypothetical
possibility of future motion
practice in the District
Court. While Combs states that
he intends to file a “renewed
motion for pretrial release”
based on “relevant new
information,” no such motion
has yet been filed." Full 7
