  • Former InterContinental Hotel security supervisor Eddy Garcia testified that Combs handed him $100,000 in cash to secure footage of him assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
  • Derek Ferguson, ex-CFO of Bad Boy Entertainment, told jurors he never witnessed Combs orchestrating crimes or acts of violence during his tenure.
  • Another alleged victim known as “Jane” is expected to take the stand this week under a pseudonym as the trial continues.
