P Diddy Recruits SBF's Lawyer! An S.O.S To The Crypto Community?
P Diddy recently called on Alexandra Shapiro, the lawyer of Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX. This strategic decision comes as Diddy faces serious charges of sex trafficking, and seeks to launch a third appeal for bail. This brings considerable media attention and underscores the connections between celebrities and the crypto world.
P Diddy calls on the lawyer of the former CEO of FTX!
P Diddy was arrested on September 16, 2024, in Manhattan, accused of racketeering, sex trafficking, and charges related to prostitution. Since his arrest, he has shared a cell with Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, involved in a major financial scandal in the crypto world. Given the seriousness of the charges and repeated denials of bail, Diddy has called on Alexandra Shapiro, Bankman-Fried’s lawyer, known for her defense in complex and high-profile cases.
This strategic decision aims to strengthen his defense and to obtain bail while awaiting his trial. These two cases now highlight the close link that exists between crypto and high-profile legal cases.
A tactic to rally the crypto community?
P Diddy’s strategy of calling on the lawyer of the former FTX CEO, could be aimed at rallying crypto advocates to his cause. By teaming up with a major figure in the crypto ecosystem, Diddy certainly hopes to gain the support of this influential community. Except, the crimes he’s been accused of are far too serious to expect any support from crypto enthusiasts, and his alliance with SBF’s lawyer certainly won’t change that.
Having never pleaded guilty to the charges against him, Diddy will be looking to strengthen his defense position and draw attention to possible flaws in the evidence presented by prosecutors, for the remainder of his trial.
Finally, P Diddy’s appeal to Alexandra Shapiro, Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyer, could be a shrewd tactic to strengthen his defense and potentially gain the support of the crypto community. It remains to be seen if this strategy will work and if he will ultimately succeed. Stay tuned…
