The list of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ accomplices includes prominent executives and bankers, according to a lawyer representing alleged victims of the music mogul.
Multiple lawsuits by 120 accusers will mention ‘household names’ as well as companies and individuals who were aware of and profited from Diddy’s alleged crimes, attorney Tony Buzbee said on Tuesday.
The legal filings seek to go after the banks, pharmaceutical companies and hotels that allegedly aided the mogul.
‘We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,’ Buzbee said in a press conference in Houston.
Buzbee added: ‘The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already,… The names will shock you’

Buzbee’s co-counsel said the lawsuits will go after ‘any venue or venue owner who was aware of what was going on.’
The lawyers stated they plan to file lawsuits in several states over the next 30 days and pledged to reveal the names at a later date.
Buzbee confirmed that half the plaintiffs are male and that most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.
The complaints date back to 1991 with the youngest alleged victim just nine years old, although 25 accusers say they were minors at the time.
Many of the claims relate to Combs’ infamous annual White Parties, as well as hotels and often allegedly involved drugs.
The alleged new victims had previously told law enforcement that they had been abused, including some who cooperated with the FBI.
Many have medical records that prove they had been raped or drugged, Buzbee added.
‘Drugs were found in their system– weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of,’ the lawyer explained.

Attorney Tony Buzbee said the names of those linked to the class action lawsuit would ‘shock’ people
‘One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research is known as a horse tranquilizer.’
The lawsuit is the latest among almost a dozen to be levelled at the disgraced music mogul which accuse him of s3xual and physical abuse.
It comes after the rapper, 54, was federally indicted on racketeering and s3x trafficking charges.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the criminal allegations.

Diddy, seen right in court, headed to jail Tuesday to await trial in a federal s3x trafficking case that accuses him of presiding over a sordid empire of s3xual crimes
‘As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,’ Erica Wolff, an attorney representing Combs, told Page Six.
‘That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he s3xually abused anyone, including minors.
‘He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.’
Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center pending trial after two of his bail requests were rejected.
Prosecutors say Combs, ‘abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his s3xual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct’.

Buzbee said much of the alleged abuse took place at Combs’ parties, like his infamous ‘White Party’ thrown every year in the Hamptons with an A-list guest list
He is accused of orchestrating and forcing men and women to perform in drug-fueled orgies dubbed ‘Freak Off’s.
According to the indictment, investigators discovered a tranche of narcotics and weapons along with 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant following raids on Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes.
The criminal charges echo claims made by Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a lawsuit which was settled the day after it was filed.
