The release date for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been disclosed, as the former jailmate of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) aims to appeal his conviction from 2025, according to details from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs' Scheduled Release

Per the information from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Combs is set to be released on May 8, 2028.

Earlier this year, he was convicted on two prostitution-related charges following a widely publicized trial, where he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Sentenced to 50 months in prison on October 3, Combs must also pay a $500,000 fine and will be subject to five years of supervised release upon his eventual exit from custody.

SBF's Continued Appeal in Landmark Fraud Case

Just last week, Combs’ legal team filed a notice of appeal in New York federal court, seeking to overturn his conviction and reduce his prison sentence of over four years.

In a parallel situation, Combs' former jailmate, Bankman-Fried, is currently appealing his 2023 conviction for fraud offenses linked to his tenure as CEO of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX.

Bankman-Fried has received a 25-year sentence in federal prison for orchestrating a notorious crypto scheme that resulted in a loss exceeding $8 billion for FTX investors.

Several of Bankman-Fried’s former associates have also faced charges related to the digital asset operation, including Caroline Ellison, who previously dated Bankman-Fried and is now the CEO of Alameda Research.

Earlier this month, the disgraced FTX founder took to social media, asserting that “Biden’s anti-crypto SEC/DOJ targeted me” and suggesting that his arrest in 2022 was aimed at preventing him from testifying before Congress the following day.

He claimed, “They had me arrested weeks before the crypto bill I was working on was set for a vote—and the night before I was scheduled to testify before Congress,” in a post on his official Gettr account.

Bankman-Fried’s next hearing for his appeal is scheduled for November 3.
