Diddy’s Attorney Mark Geragos Accused of Major Extortion Scheme Linked to Michael Jackson Estate
The legal troubles for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attorney Mark Geragos escalate with a new $213 million extortion lawsuit involving the late music icon's estate.
In a shocking turn of events, Mark Geragos, notorious attorney for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, is embroiled in a high-profile extortion case that involves a staggering $213 million scheme aimed at the Michael Jackson estate. The litigation has been initiated in the Los Angeles Superior Court by the Michael Jackson Company, alongside co-executors John Branca and John McClain. They allege that Frank Cascio, an alleged mobster from New Jersey, is not acting alone, but is aided by Geragos and several unidentified associates in this "civil extortion scheme."
This is not Geragos' first encounter with allegations of misconduct; he recently found himself on the wrong side of the law after a jury concluded that he assisted Michael Avenatti in an attempt to extort funds from Nike. The attorney has faced multiple inquiries from the State Bar of California, including a serious investigation into claims of fraud stemming from the misappropriation of funds from Armenian genocide victims.
In this unfolding drama, further revelations have emerged involving Geragos' law firm partners. Ben Meiseles, who works closely with Geragos, and his father Kenny Meiseles, a former attorney for Combs, have also been implicated in various alleged criminal activities. One particularly troubling incident dates back to 2018, when Jonathan Oddi, a former sex worker tied to Combs, made disturbing claims about Diddy using his private jet for drug trafficking, allegedly implicating Geragos and Meiseles in clandestine payoffs to suppress his testimony.
Beyond these allegations, Ben Meiseles’ past as Diddy’s assistant raises eyebrows, as does the history of intimidation tactics alleged against Kenny Meiseles, who is accused of threatening a fellow executive to relinquish his stake in Bad Boy Entertainment.
Currently, Mark Geragos retains his law license in California, although anyone aware of potential legal or ethical infractions related to him is encouraged to report their findings to the State Bar of California, adding yet another layer of complexity to a case that combines high-profile celebrity intrigue with allegations of serious criminal behavior.
