Diddy’s Attorney Mark Geragos Accused in $213 Million Extortion Scheme
Attorney Mark Geragos faces serious allegations, including a $213 million extortion plot linked to the Michael Jackson estate alongside mobster Frank Cascio.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attorney, Mark Geragos, finds himself at the center of a serious legal controversy with accusations of orchestrating a substantial $213 million extortion scheme involving alleged mobster Frank Cascio. The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by the Michael Jackson Company, alongside co-executors John Branca and John McClain.
The court documents allege that Frank Cascio, with the assistance of Geragos and several unidentified accomplices, engaged in a “civil extortion scheme” against the Jackson estate. This is not the first time Geragos has been associated with dubious activities; he was previously implicated in an extortion case involving attorney Michael Avenatti, accused of attempting to extort millions from Nike.
Geragos has long been under scrutiny, having faced investigations by the State Bar of California over various ethical concerns, including fraud allegations from his past dealings with Armenian genocide victims. Furthermore, Ben Meiseles, Geragos’s law firm partner, and his father, Kenny Meiseles, have also been named in various criminal allegations which continue to tarnish Geragos’ reputation and his legal practice.
Compounding the situation, startling claims emerged from an incident involving Jonathan Oddi, a former sex worker for Diddy, who alleged that Diddy used his private jet for drug trafficking and employed Geragos and Meiseles to cover up these actions, including using video blackmail. These shocking revelations depict a tangled web of alleged criminal activities surrounding Diddy, Geragos, and their associates.
Mark Geragos remains a practicing attorney in California, but the mounting allegations raise serious questions about his legal future. Anyone with knowledge of unethical conduct involving Geragos is urged to step forward and report to the appropriate authorities or the State Bar of California.
