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.

Bryan Kohberger And His "Throw Spaghetti Against The Wall" Defense Strategy

Bryan Kohberger And His "Throw Spaghetti Against The Wall" Defense Strategy

​Bryan Kohberger's defense team has recently filed motions to suppress certain evidence ahead of his August 11, 2025, trial for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. A former FBI special agent characterized these efforts as attempts to create an "illusion" of a weak prosecution case, aiming to influence potential jurors. The defense sought to exclude terms like "psychopath" and "sociopath" from the trial, a request partially granted by Judge Steven Hippler, who ruled such labels require expert validation. Additionally, the defense's motion to omit Kohberger's 2020 essay on crime scene handling was denied, and the judge indicated that the 911 call from the victims' roommate would likely be admitted, albeit possibly in a redacted formThe defense also argued that prosecutors were delaying discovery, a claim undermined when they acknowledged receiving all requested materials. Experts suggest these tactics aim to delay proceedings and cast doubt on the prosecution's case. Former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam noted that the defense appears more focused on portraying the prosecution's case as insufficient rather than asserting Kohberger's innocence. Similarly, former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams observed that the defense is employing a strategy of challenging various aspects of the case, hoping to find elements that might resonate with the jury.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger case: Fmr FBI agent says defense is trying to create 'illusion' | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Tapes: Transcripts From Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview (Part 6) (8/25/25)

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A Few Takeaways From The Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Meetings (8/25/25)

Ghislaine Maxwell’s two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, spanning over 300 pages, offers a key insight: she never saw Donald Trump behave inappropriately. Maxwell described their relationship as strictly cordial, noting she had not witnessed him in any compromising situations—particularly massages or other intimate settings—and referred to him as “a gentleman in all respects.” She also asserted that there was no “client list” implicating powerful figures in Epstein’s network—debunking widespread speculation of a Black Book or secret registry—while expressing uncertainty over whether she attended any gatherings that could corroborate such claimsMaxwell similarly defended Bill Clinton, saying he was her friend—not Epstein’s—and that she never observed any misbehavior between them. She rejected claims involving Prince Andrew, going so far as to label allegations connecting him to Virginia Giuffre as “bullshit,” and suggested the infamous photograph depicting him with Giuffre may have been doctored. Regarding Epstein’s death, Maxwell dismissed theories of foul play as “ludicrous,” suggesting instead that a prison incident—such as a violent confrontation over commissary—was a more plausible explanation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:5 takeaways from Ghislaine Maxwell transcripts and audio filesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Morning Update: The Clinton's And Their Unraveling Epstein/Maxwell Narrative (8/25/25)

Ghislaine Maxwell, now a convicted sex trafficker serving a 20-year sentence, was surprisingly honored at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) conference—even as allegations of her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring had already been publicly circulating. At the CGI, her nonprofit, the TerraMar Project, was spotlighted with a “Commitment to Action” recognition, and she received applause during an ocean-conservation luncheon. This recognition occurred despite a 2011 internal directive from Clinton aide Doug Band to bar her from Clinton-related events.Clinton Foundation officials stated that over 600 complimentary passes were authorized for the 2013 event at the staff level—including the office of former President Clinton—and insisted that the Clintons had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. Still, some sources suggest Maxwell’s inclusion may have required personal approval from Bill or Hillary Clinton, raising fresh scrutiny. The revelation comes amid new subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee to both Clintons as part of its broader investigation into Epstein’s network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell was celebrated at posh Clinton event years after sex crimes accusations emergedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Predators Patron: How Leon Black Empowered Jeffrey Epstein (8/25/25)

The Predators Patron: How Leon Black Empowered Jeffrey Epstein (8/25/25)

Leon Black’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein stands as one of the most damning scandals to come out of the financier’s world. Despite Epstein’s 2008 conviction as a sex offender, Black—billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management—paid him over $170 million for what he later called “tax and estate planning.” Those claims collapsed under scrutiny, especially after Senator Ron Wyden’s Finance Committee investigation revealed the true scale of the payments and raised questions about whether they were legitimate services or hush money. Black’s evasions, his refusal to provide documentation, and his settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands for $62.5 million only deepened suspicions.What emerges is not a story of poor judgment, but of complicity. Black was not Epstein’s victim—he was his lifeline, bankrolling him long after his downfall and sustaining his influence in elite circles. The lawsuits accusing Black of sexual assault, coupled with his forced resignation from Apollo, cemented his fall. Yet he remains untouched by criminal charges, shielded by wealth and the systemic failures of regulators, banks, and cultural institutions. Leon Black’s legacy is not one of brilliance on Wall Street but of disgrace: the billionaire who bankrolled a predator and never gave the world an honest explanation why.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: Jeffrey Epstein And The Women Who Enabled His Abuse (Part 5-7) (8/25/25)

These four women were explicitly named as "potential co-conspirators" in Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, a deal that allowed him to avoid serious federal charges. Sarah Kellen and Lesley Groff, both former assistants, are accused of coordinating travel and scheduling for underage girls, acting as facilitators in Epstein’s exploitation network. Adriana Ross, a former model, was similarly implicated for arranging “sex sessions,” while Nadia Marcinkova—once described as Epstein’s "live-in sex slave"—is believed to have participated in abuse and appeared frequently on flight logs, flying aboard Epstein's private jets.Though none of the four have been criminally charged, their names remain central to the investigation into Epstein’s trafficking ring. The immunity granted in the plea deal stirred widespread backlash, and prominent attorneys like Gloria Allred have vowed to pursue accountability, insisting the operation could not have functioned without them. Meanwhile, civil lawsuits continue to reference their roles as enablers, intensifying scrutiny and legal pressure on them as the broader net of accountability expands.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/05/14/jeffrey-epstein-investigation-women-487157Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
