We already know that music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs can’t brag about himself or his material possessions enough. So when he saw an opportunity to flaunt his wealth in everyone’s faces while a video camera was rolling, he did so. But Diddy took his in-your-face antics a step too far when he ripped up a $50 bill on camera.
Maybe no one explained to Diddy that it is a felony — punishable by prison time and stiff penalties — to rip up government property?
According to the U.S. Treasury Department, it is against federal law to flagrantly deface, mutilate, spindle, impair, [or] diminish, federal bank notes in use or circulation as money within the U.S. (18 U.S.C. 331).
Hopefully, no one from the federal government or treasury department reads my blog.
