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.

Mega Edition:  Carolyn Gives  Testimony At The Maxwell Trial And An Interview After (1/4/25)

Mega Edition: Carolyn Gives Testimony At The Maxwell Trial And An Interview After (1/4/25)

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, testimony from a woman identified as “Carolyn” focused on the mechanics of recruitment and grooming that brought young girls into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. Carolyn described how she was first approached as a teenager under the guise of legitimate work and easy money, only to find herself drawn into a world where sexualized behavior was quickly normalized. She testified that what began as vague or misleading promises escalated into explicit expectations, with little room to refuse once she was inside Epstein’s environment. Her account highlighted how confusion, financial pressure, and authority dynamics were used to keep young girls compliant and silent.Carolyn’s testimony also placed Ghislaine Maxwell within that environment, describing Maxwell as a visible and authoritative presence in Epstein’s life and homes. She testified that Maxwell exercised control, gave instructions to staff, and appeared fully aware of the girls coming and going. According to Carolyn, Maxwell’s behavior conveyed ownership and supervision over the household, undermining claims that she was detached from or unaware of Epstein’s activities. By situating Maxwell inside the daily operations of Epstein’s residences, Carolyn’s account contributed to the broader narrative that Maxwell knowingly participated in maintaining the structure that enabled Epstein’s abuse.After testifying, Carolyn gave an interview in which she emphasized that taking the stand was about setting the record straight rather than seeking attention or vindication. She described the experience as emotionally draining but necessary, explaining that she felt a responsibility to speak honestly about what she witnessed inside Jeffrey Epstein’s household and the environment that staff were expected to accept as normal. Carolyn reiterated that the routine presence of young girls was never subtle and that staff were implicitly discouraged from questioning what was happening. She also made clear that, in her view, Ghislaine Maxwell was not a peripheral figure but someone who exerted authority and awareness within that world. In reflecting on her testimony, Carolyn framed it as a way to counter years of minimization and denial, underscoring that the abuse Epstein carried out was enabled by a system that many people saw—and chose not to stop.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Dahmer Tapes:  Jeffrey Dahmer And The Confession (Part 3)

The Dahmer Tapes: Jeffrey Dahmer And The Confession (Part 3)

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims’ skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
