Judge Orders Diddy to Surrender 'Freak-Off' Tapes, Devices and Cash to Federal Custody

The forfeiture implements terms of his 50-month sentence after Mann Act convictions, with the materials now held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Overview

  • Federal filings list multiple laptops, hard drives, phones, tablets and the 1996 'Ibiza Tapes' among items transferred after their seizure in March 2024 raids.
  • Prosecutors say the recordings and devices constitute property used or intended to be used in the prostitution offenses for which he was convicted.
  • Agents also recovered $9,000 at a Manhattan Park Hyatt suite prior to his September 2024 arrest, and the cash is included in the forfeiture.
  • Jurors acquitted Sean Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking but found him guilty on two Mann Act counts, with the tapes playing a central evidentiary role.
  • Testimony from Cassie Ventura and another woman described threats to leak explicit footage, while Combs now appeals and was denied a request for a New Jersey prison placement.
