Episode 120
Hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is behind bars and in court following his arrest late Monday in Manhattan.
A federal grand jury indicted Combs on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.
Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, stated at a press conference that prosecutors will seek to detain Combs without bail. Williams indicated that the investigation is ongoing, saying, "We are not done," and did not rule out additional charges against Combs or others.
In a detention memo filed with the court, prosecutors described Combs as "a serious risk of flight," "a significant risk of obstructing justice," and "a danger to the community."
The memo details Combs' alleged use of violence, threats, and coercion since at least 2008 to exert control. It claims that Combs and a co-conspirator kidnapped someone at gunpoint on December 22, 2011, to facilitate breaking into another person's residence, identified as Individual-1. Prosecutors expect testimony from "multiple witnesses" and police reports to support the allegations.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
