Since this has came up again, I'll repost this. Could be wrong but w/e, this is more effort than Vlad has put into shyt.
Racketeering - I think the attempt to bribe the hotel employee would help with that. Then the sex trafficking would help with this too. Then throw in supplying drugs. I could be wrong though
Extortion - He extorted 20k from cassie's parents
Blackmail - Cassie testified he would use the threat of releasing the sex tapes. shyt with her parents could fall under here as well.
Arson - Cudi's car could fall under that?
Bribery - attempt to bribe hotel worker
To be charged with racketeering/RICO you just need to
commit 2 out of 35 offenses.
This Rico/Racketeering may seem weird because it is. Puff is a weirdo. In most normal ricos/racketeering people are doing illegal shyt to get money and everyone is involved to get money. In this, they wasnt doing all this illegal shyt for money. Diddy had hundreds of millions legally. Diddy did all this just for his sexual pleasure and he was bored. All the legal bodyguards, assistants, money was used for this(FOs/Cassie abuse). If Diddy never beat, threatened, extorted anyone, they wouldnt be able to do the RICO shyt. Because w/o all that, you just have a rich nikka flying nikkas out to fukk his girlfrienc and they wouldnt waste resources on that.
"But he the only one charged" - Diddy is the big fish here and everything was done for his sexual pleasure. 1 person got immunity. Cassie would probably be codefendant with Diddy
if Diddy wasnt threatening and beating the shyt out of her. But he did beat her and the AUSA knows how horrible it would look to charge what a large majority of
normal people would view as a victim. Especially with normal people understanding how abuse works. The Escorts could probably be charged, but then you wouldnt be able to use them as witnesses for Puff. One of the assistants got immunity.
For the Sex Tracfficking stuff
Sex Trafficking defined by the feds
www.law.cornell.edu
What makes the FOs sex trafficking/how the AUSA is framing it
is the use of force and coercion for the FOs. Which is why Cassie saying the hotel video of Puff beating her because she was trying to leave a FO is worse than him just beating her normally.
The escort saying he saw diddy beat cassie during a FO. This is why the prosecutor is painting a picture for the jury of how everyone was afraid of puff.
Like I said, I could be wrong in how Im reading all of this, but to me, this is how the AUSA is presenting everything. Whether these charges are "legit" or not is up to the jury

.
But for the ppl going "how this sex tracfficking" "why he the only 1", there you have it. Or do your own research and see what you find. Dont just rely on the Akademiks/TSRs/Some Rando Clout Chasers to break shyt down for you. They have their own agenda and most of them just trying to get clicks. Even legit main stream media like People/RollingStone can be on bullshyt too. Best to find transcripts and come to your own conclusions after reading. Once you have done that, then look at the Aks/RS and other breakdowns if need be, least then you will be able to tell if they bullshytting with how the presenting stuff or not.
