Howard Lutnick and the Jersey Boys Scandal: The Day Cantor’s Dream Collapsed (Part 1) (10/2/25)

Howard Lutnick and the Jersey Boys Scandal: The Day Cantor’s Dream Collapsed (Part 1) (10/2/25)

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.

From Fringe to Front Page: The Media’s Great Jeffrey Epstein Rewrite (9/12/25)

From Fringe to Front Page: The Media’s Great Jeffrey Epstein Rewrite (9/12/25)

The same voices that now brand themselves as guardians of truth spent years burying it. They didn’t just miss the story—they smothered it. When it mattered most, they mocked anyone who dared raise questions, dismissed survivors, and labeled investigators as “conspiracy theorists.” They weren’t protecting the public; they were protecting power, trimming out inconvenient facts to shield the reputations of their political favorites and social allies. Silence wasn’t ignorance—it was strategy.Now those same outlets stand on their platforms with furrowed brows and solemn voices, lecturing about justice as if they hadn’t tried to strangle the truth in its cradle. Yesterday’s “fringe” is today’s breaking news, and the very people who laughed off the facts are suddenly parading them as revelations. It’s not a moral awakening; it’s a performance. Their outrage isn’t about what happened—it’s about being forced to confront what they ignored. And that’s why their sudden righteousness rings hollow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition:  Day Number 15 Of The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (9/12/25)

Mega Edition: Day Number 15 Of The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (9/12/25)

The Ghislaine Maxwell trial, held in late 2021 in federal court in New York, centered on her alleged role as Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring that preyed on underage girls for over a decade. Prosecutors accused Maxwell of grooming minors, gaining their trust, and then facilitating or participating in their abuse at the hands of Epstein between 1994 and 2004. The government’s case included testimony from four women, some of whom described in painful detail how Maxwell recruited them as teenagers under the guise of mentorship or financial assistance, only to manipulate them into sexual encounters with Epstein. Flight logs, photographs, and household staff testimony were used to place Maxwell at various Epstein properties and show her long-standing involvement in his lifestyle and operations.Maxwell’s defense team attempted to cast her as a scapegoat, arguing that she was being punished for Epstein’s crimes following his 2019 death in federal custody. They challenged the credibility of the accusers, questioned their motives, and pointed to the time gaps between the alleged crimes and the trial. Ultimately, the jury found Maxwell guilty on five of six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, and not guilty on one count of enticing a minor to travel for illegal sex acts. The conviction marked a rare moment of accountability in a case that had long been plagued by cover-ups, prosecutorial failures, and elite protection. It also opened the door to further scrutiny of Epstein’s network, although many key figures remain untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comThe Ghislaine Maxwell trial, held in late 2021 in federal court in New York, centered on her alleged role as Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring that preyed on underage girls for over a decade.
