Diddy Trial Day 15 - Diddy's CFO Speaks: What Derek Ferguson Know?
In today’s federal courtroom proceedings (June 3, 2025), the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs took a sharp turn toward the financial structure and operational culture behind the alleged criminal enterprise. Former Bad Boy CFO Derek Ferguson took the stand, offering a rare insider perspective into Combs’s multi-layered business empire. From record labels to spirits to fashion, Ferguson helped build and maintain the money machine that prosecutors now argue was used to fund and conceal abuse, coercion, and intimidation.
Ferguson testified that while he oversaw financial operations for nearly two decades, he never witnessed any crimes, coercion, or violence involving Combs or anyone under him. But prosecutors brought their own receipts—literally—showing a series of December 2011 bank transfers that appeared to support earlier testimony from Cassie Ventura’s mother, who claimed Combs forced Cassie’s parents to return $20,000 as a form of financial retaliation. Ferguson confirmed the transactions and timeline, laying bare a potentially disturbing misuse of financial control.

The defense leaned heavily on Ferguson to paint Combs’s empire as legitimate and law-abiding, but on redirect, prosecutors revealed Ferguson’s limited proximity to Combs’s personal life—underscoring how much he didn’t see. Perhaps the most telling moment came when Ferguson was asked if he thought highly of Combs. His long pause and ultimate response—“I don’t know how to respond to that”—spoke volumes.

Also in court, Judge Subramanian granted the defense’s motion to allow Combs after-hours courtroom prep ahead of testimony from a key witness referred to as “Jane.” To protect her identity and minor child, the judge also approved turning off the public courtroom feed during her testimony.

This episode offers a detailed breakdown of testimony, finance, and courtroom strategy that reveals the power dynamics behind the headlines.

Diddy Victims Come From Every Place & Every Walk Of Life

Diddy Victims Come From Every Place & Every Walk Of Life

Is Diddy's scandal about to rival Epstein's in scope? With 120 new claims against him—25 of those allegedly involving minors—things are looking grim. In the first 24 hours of the Diddy tip hotline, over 12,000 calls came pouring in, signaling something much bigger may be lurking beneath the surface. Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks it down, wondering just how deep this nightmare goes and who might be dragged into the mess. Could it spread to politicians, actors, and other big names in music? With alleged video evidence circulating, it seems Diddy’s story might not be as easy to sweep away as Epstein’s was. Oh, and remember that guy who opened fire in Trump Tower, claiming to be a victim of Diddy’s sex parties? At the time, he seemed like a madman. But now, you have to ask—was he just a canary in the coal mine? So, is this just the tip of the iceberg, or are we about to watch a titanic fall? #DiddyScandal #TrueCrime #EpsteinComparison #SexualAbuseAllegations #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #DarkRevelations #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How Can One Be Down With Diddy's Lyrics Yet Be Shocked By His Behavior?

How Can One Be Down With Diddy's Lyrics Yet Be Shocked By His Behavior?

How do we separate the art from the artist, especially when that artist has a dark past? In this episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the strange contradictions in how we consume music, art, and entertainment while often turning a blind eye to the problematic behaviors of the creators behind it. Why can we denounce a movement one minute, then bop along to lyrics celebrating the same issue the next? Can we really say we're unaffected by these influences, or are we just tuning them out? From the unsettling cases of R. Kelly and Michael Jackson to the controversial legacies of figures like Woody Allen, they explore whether it’s ever okay to separate the art from its creator. Should we be having bigger conversations about the impact this kind of art has on society, or just let it play out on the radio? And the biggest question: How did we let it thrive for so long?
