Whenever there's a big case with a prominent figure, people usually come out of the woodworks to give what they call inside information. One of the latest to do is Larry Levine, a former federal inmate, who founded the organization Wall Street Prison Consultants.
Levine recently spoke to NewsNation about Diddy being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and said he's refusing to eat.
That's because at a press conference last week, U.S Attorney Damian Williams said Diddy threw sex parties that he called freak-offs and recorded people without their knowledge. Levine believes that some of those people might be willing to poison Diddy so he won't testify against them.
"There’s people out there that he has things on that do have a substantial amount of money," said Levine. "Imagine if someone paid someone off on the inside to actually poison his food, give him a heart attack and he dies, and no one would really think anything of it. So, that may be one of the reasons he’s not eating."
But Levine said Diddy refusing to eat could be because the food is lousy. "There’s mold in a lot of that food, the food coming to him is cold. It’s not coming to him warm like it would be in a regular housing unit, because they feed the people in the shoe last,” he explained. “Maybe he got sick from the food. That’s another possibility.”
Last week two different judges denied Diddy's bail request, saying he's a flight risk and has the potential to intimidate witnesses. The decisions were made after he put up a $50 million bail package and told the court he'd stay away from women and submit to weekly drugs tests.
His lawyer Marc Agnifilo tried to get him transferred to a jail in New Jersey's Essex County but has since abandoned that request.
