Face Cards and Felonies: The Technology Allegedly Used  To Scam The "Fish" (10/24/25)

Face Cards and Felonies: The Technology Allegedly Used To Scam The "Fish" (10/24/25)

Federal authorities allege that the ring busted for running illegal sports and card-games used highly advanced and coordinated cheating technology. In the poker portion of the scheme, underground high-stakes games were manipulated using rigged shuffling machines that secretly read the deck’s cards and transmitted which players held strong hands to an off-site operator, who then signaled a co-conspirator at the table (called the “quarterback” or “driver”) to direct bets accordingly. Devices included poker tables equipped with hidden X-ray cameras beneath the felt to identify face-down cards, chip trays with built-in analyzers/cameras, decoy cellphones to relay information, and decks marked so that only accomplices wearing special lenses or glasses could see the marks.

In the sports-betting arm of the investigation, insiders harvested and sold non-public information about professional basketball players’ injuries, playing time, and game-day decisions. Players or coaches allegedly tipped off conspirators to when they would sit out or exit early due to an injury, creating prop-bet opportunities. Wagers were placed accordingly on unders or player performance outcomes, using insider info to create a virtually guaranteed edge. The two schemes overlapped, involving organized-crime networks, professional athletes, and complex laundering of ill-gotten proceeds.

The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 11 Part 3) (10/30/25)

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's  Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 5-6) (10/30/25)

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 5-6) (10/30/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten:  Al Kite

Gone But Not Forgotten: Al Kite

Al Kite's murder is one of the most chilling and perplexing unsolved cases in Colorado. In 2004, the 53-year-old Aurora man rented out his basement to a tenant who turned out to be a sadistic killer operating under a fake identity. The tenant brutally tortured Kite over several hours before murdering him, then vanished without a trace, leaving behind no forensic evidence and using multiple false identities. Despite a composite sketch and nationwide investigation, the killer, described as having an Eastern European accent, remains unidentified. Theories suggest he may have been a professional assassin or serial predator, but to this day, the case remains a haunting mystery, with investigators still pursuing leads in hopes of bringing justice to Kite's family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Jennifer Fergate

The case of Jennifer Fergate remains one of Europe’s most perplexing mysteries. In May 1995, a woman using the alias "Jennifer Fergate" checked into Oslo’s luxurious Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel with no identification, no credit card, and no luggage. Days later, she was found dead in her room from a gunshot wound, seemingly a suicide, but numerous details—like the unregistered gun, the absence of gunshot residue, and her mysterious lack of personal belongings—raised suspicions. Investigators found no trace of her real identity, fueling theories that she could have been a spy, involved in organized crime, or perhaps the victim of a staged assassination. Despite modern forensic advances, her true identity and the circumstances of her death remain unsolved, leaving behind a chilling enigma that continues to intrigue investigators and the public alike.(commercial at 8:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Timothy Pitzen

Timothy Pitzen, a six-year-old boy from Aurora, Illinois, disappeared in May 2011 after his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, took him on a multi-day trip to zoos and waterparks before taking her own life in a Rockford motel. In her suicide note, Amy claimed that Timothy was "safe" with someone who loved him and that he would never be found. Despite extensive searches and investigations by law enforcement, including retracing Amy's steps and analyzing her last communications, Timothy has never been located, leaving behind a haunting mystery. Over a decade later, the case remains unsolved, with no confirmed sightings of Timothy and no conclusive evidence of his fate. His father, James Pitzen, continues to hold out hope that his son is still alive, as investigators maintain an open case, using advanced technology and updated images to try and locate Timothy. The disappearance remains one of the most perplexing missing person cases in modern history, a painful story of loss and lingering uncertainty.(commercial at 8:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
