The allegations in the Combs indictment referencing co-conspirators — and RICO is a conspiracy — describes them generically as “members” and “associates” of the Combs Enterprise.

This investigation has been underway for quite a long time. The indictment references a search of Combs house in Florida and California back in March. Several months before that Combs was sued civilly by a music producer who claimed Combs had sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him.

If the evidence backs up the allegations in the Indictment, the 55 year-old Combs is likely facing a sentence that could be effectively “life” in prison.
