Read previewA "smoking gun" video of Sean "Diddy" Combs could help plaintiffs in other civil suits against him bolster their cases, an entertainment lawyer told Business Insider. In the video, a man appearing to be Combs shoves, drags, kicks, and throws an object toward Ventura in the hotel hallway. 'His career is effectively done'Ventura alleged in her November suit that Combs paid the defunct hotel $50,000 to obtain the surveillance footage. From the perspective of Combs' defense, Dowlatshahi said Combs' lawyers will probably try to settle the cases and advise Combs to cooperate with authorities.

In a pretrial court filing, James’ office estimated that Trump exaggerated his wealth by as much as $3.6 billion. They've also called accountants Donald Bender and Camron Harris, whose firms Trump hired to prepare his financial statements. A retired Deutsche Bank official testified the financial statements were key to Trump securing hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. Weisselberg acknowledged that information in Trump’s financial statements wasn’t always accurate, such as valuing his penthouse based on the wrong size. In a decision last month, Engoron resolved the lawsuit's top claim, ruling that Trump committed years of fraud by inflating the value of assets in his financial statements.

Camron and Alexis Cathcart sold their home and put a down payment on a rental property. Camron and Alexis Cathcart own 30 rental units that they say bring in enough cash flow to make them financially free. And we grabbed a pack-and-play for our 2-week-old daughter," Camron said. So they kept their cash in the bank as a cushion and used a private money loan from a family friend to purchase the second property and a hard-money loan for the third property. They repeated this process several times until they accumulated 30 cash-flowing rental properties in less than two years.
