Mega Edition: Judge Preska Explains Her Plan to Unseal Maxwell/Virginia Files (11/13/25)

In State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger, Case No. CR01-24-31665, the defense submitted a reply challenging the State’s opposition to its motion to continue the trial. Kohberger’s legal team argues that the prosecution’s objection ignores the complex and voluminous nature of discovery materials still being reviewed, which include thousands of pages of documents, hours of surveillance footage, and extensive forensic data. The defense emphasizes that proceeding without adequate time to evaluate this evidence would compromise Kohberger’s constitutional right to a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel.Additionally, the reply underscores that this is a capital case with unique legal and investigative demands, requiring more preparation time than the prosecution acknowledges. The defense contends that rushing the proceedings would not serve justice and that the need for a continuance is both reasonable and necessary given the gravity of the charges and the scope of the case. They urge the court to grant the motion and reject the State’s assertion that further delay is unwarranted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:061625+Defendants+Reply+to+the+States+Opposition+to+Defendants+Motion+to+Continue.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​In 2020, while pursuing a master's degree in criminal justice at DeSales University, Bryan Kohberger authored a 12-page essay titled "Crime-Scene Scenario Final." This academic paper detailed procedures for processing a crime scene, emphasizing methods to prevent contamination, such as the use of fiber-free overalls, gloves, and booties. Kohberger also discussed the importance of collecting DNA evidence and analyzing surveillance footage to identify suspects. The essay centered around a case involving a 35-year-old woman who was stabbed to death in a trailer park, though it remains unclear if this scenario was hypothetical or based on real events.Prosecutors in Kohberger's ongoing trial for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students have introduced this essay as evidence, arguing that it demonstrates his extensive knowledge of crime scene investigation techniques. They contend that the detailed understanding reflected in his writing suggests a capability to commit the alleged crimes with precision and an awareness of how to avoid leaving incriminating evidence. The trial is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with jury selection commencing on July 30.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The fight over Jeffrey Epstein’s unreleased government files has intensified as several new developments converge on Capitol Hill. House Speaker Mike Johnson is under fire from Democrats for delaying the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, Arizona’s newly elected Democrat, who would likely provide the 218th signature needed to force a vote on a discharge petition requiring the release of Epstein’s records. Democrats argue the delay is politically motivated, pointing to instances where Republicans were sworn in within 24 hours of certification. The issue comes amid a PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll showing nearly three-quarters of Americans want all Epstein files released and 61 percent disapprove of the Trump administration’s handling of the case, signaling broad bipartisan frustration with secrecy.At the same time, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sparked new controversy by publicly claiming Epstein avoided harsher punishment by handing over blackmail videos of powerful clients, calling him “the greatest blackmailer ever.” The remarks prompted Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, to announce plans to compel Lutnick to testify under oath about his comments. Democrats say the combination of Johnson’s delay, overwhelming public demand, and Lutnick’s statement highlights a pattern of obstruction and underscores the urgency for full transparency. With Grijalva still awaiting her seat, Lutnick facing potential testimony, and a discharge petition one vote short, the battle over Epstein’s files is set to remain a defining political fight in the weeks ahead.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn’t touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor’s system, exploiting the company’s appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor’s lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a recent interview on the podcast Pod Force One, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described Jeffrey Epstein as “the greatest blackmailer ever,” basing this claim largely on his personal observations from when he lived next to Epstein. He says Epstein showed him and his wife the “massage room” inside his townhouse, claiming he got massages “every day” — a detail Lutnick interpreted as suggestive of a blackmail mechanism involving filmed encounters. He further speculated that Epstein may have traded such footage with authorities or influential individuals to secure lenient legal outcomes, pointing to Epstein’s unusually favorable plea deal in 2008 as possible evidence of bargaining with powerful figures.Lutnick also implicated Epstein’s high-profile associates, suggesting they either participated in or turned a blind eye to the alleged blackmail scheme. He asserted that Epstein’s modus operandi involved offering massages that he assumed were videotaped, and that these recordings could have been used as leverage against elites.   At the same time, Lutnick acknowledges he has no direct proof of such extortion, framing much of his claim as assumption grounded in his own impressions and suspicions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Howard Lutnick calls ex-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein 'greatest blackmailer ever'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Wall Street Journal has uncovered that Epstein maintained accounts with more than 20 banks even in the years leading up to his 2019 death—among them, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, and FirstBank Puerto Rico. The documents show Epstein moved at least $60 million into Honeycomb Partners, received $13.5 million from a hedge fund tied to Paul Tudor Jones, and sold $15 million in private company shares to a crypto investor, among other large transactions. Although major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank say they cut ties (JPMorgan in 2013; Deutsche Bank in 2018), the Journal’s reporting suggests their associations with Epstein ran deeper than previously disclosed.Beyond banks, the reporting points to a broader financial network: hedge funds, private equity, venture capital firms, and prominent individuals who moved money to or from Epstein‐controlled entities. Previously unknown payments also emerged: $1 million to Joi Ito, $85,000 to Alan Dershowitz, $250,000 to Terje Rod-Larsen, and reimbursements to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers (about $1,232.25). In response, legislators are now pushing for hearings—ten Democratic senators recently urged JPMorgan executives and others to testify under oath about their knowledge of Epstein and any “ignored warnings.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The Wall Street Firms That Kept Ties With Jeffrey Epstein Until the EndBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
