The feds are looking for every bit of evidence they can find in the Diddy case.

Diddy continues to deny the current lawsuits and accusations against him, but federal authorities are still trying to get to the bottom of the case. Moreover, according to a new TMZ report based on reportedly obtained legal documents, the court issued a grand jury subpoena to a hotel in Florida. These are their latest efforts to determine whether there is enough evidence to form a criminal indictment against him. Apparently, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York want the luxury Miami location to provide documents and evidence regarding the Bad Boy mogul's stays there at any point after January 1, 2008.

Furthermore, Diddy and his ex Daphne Joy both appear in the subpoena, and it demands quite the extensive list of information. These include reservation records for them and other Bad Boy affiliates, guest preferences and requests, billing info, emails, mailing addresses, phone numbers, forms of payment, computer IP addresses and logins, ID and vehicle registration copies, and surveillance footage. Per the outlet, this subpoena emerged a couple of weeks ago amid Sean Combs' denials, so there's no telling how much evidence they've gained so far or what they're still waiting on.

However, even though this federal investigation continues to ramp up, it seems like it won't completely stop Diddy in his tracks no matter what it finds. For example, he recently greeted some fans in South Beach during a rare public outing, showing that he's still willing to go outside. Others in this situation choose to disappear from the public eye as much as possible. While the music executive is certainly keeping things more private than usual, we still have to see what happens with this case in order to properly assess his movement.

Meanwhile, Diddy isn't the only Bad Boy alum in trouble these days. Harve Pierre also faces an anonymous sexual assault lawsuit from a woman who claimed that keeping her identity a secret is one of the few things protecting her in life right now. It's a very complicated and contentious case, one whose outcome is impossible to predict at press time. We'll see what other investigations and conclusions emerge.
