DOJ, SEC Investigating $32 Million CrowdStrike Deal With Carahsoft
US prosecutors and regulators are investigating a $32 million deal between CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. and a technology distributor to provide cybersecurity tools to the Internal Revenue Service, according to two people familiar with the matter and a document seen by Bloomberg News.
Investigators for the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission have been interviewing people and collecting records related to the deal, according to the document and people. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the matter.
Carahsoft Technology Corp. paid CrowdStrike for the deal that the cybersecurity firm closed on the last day of a fiscal quarter in 2023, but the IRS never purchased the products, Bloomberg first reported
in October. The transaction under investigation was big enough that it could have made the difference between CrowdStrike beating or missing Wall Street projections for the period, although the Austin, Texas-based company has declined to detail how it accounted for the deal. The day after CrowdStrike reported results for the record quarter, its shares rose 10%.
The parallel probes, which haven’t been previously reported, also represent additional scrutiny of Carahsoft, a dominant reseller of technology to the US government. The FBI searched the firm’s headquarters last year, and federal prosecutors are conducting a separate civil investigation of whether the company conspired with another technology firm to overcharge the government.
CrowdStrike spokesperson Brian Merrill said in an email, “we stand by the accounting of the transaction.” A lawyer for Carahsoft, Samarth Barot, declined to comment.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Attorney Files Motion to Withdraw From Case
https://archive.is/F8JfK
Anthony Ricco, one of the lawyers representing Sean “Diddy” Combs in his federal case, has entered a bid to withdraw as the imprisoned mogul’s counsel, according to a motion filed on Friday morning.
In the motion, Ricco is vague about the reasons why he wants to withdraw from representing Combs, whose trial is set to begin in May. “Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” he wrote. He also noted that there are “sufficient reasons” protected by attorney/client privilege for him to be terse in his application to withdrawal.
Ricco’s motion must be approved by the judge, and the attorney states that no delay in jury selection or the trial itself would transpire. The motion notes that he informed the government of his intention to withdraw, and that the government took no position on the motion.
Ricco was initially hired in Sept. 2024, and is one of several lawyers representing Combs in his federal case. Marc Agnifilo and and Teny Geragos will continue on as counsel.
Representatives for Combs, as well as Ricco, did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment.
Combs is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn as he awaits trial. In Sept. 2024, he was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Last week, a lawsuit that named both him and Jay-Z was dismissed by a Jane Doe who accused them of sexual assault, and Combs himself filed a separate defamation lawsuit for $100 million against NBCUniversal, Peacock and Ample Entertainment over their “Making of a Bad Boy” documentary.
under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs
