Howard Lutnick and the Jersey Boys Scandal: The Day Cantor’s Dream Collapsed (Part 2) (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.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Howard Lutnick Goes Against The Narrative And Calls Epstein "The Greatest Blackmailer" (10/2/25)
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.

Epstein’s Banking Empire: A Deeper, Darker Network Than Anyone Admitted (10/2/25)
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.

Mega Edition: Judge Hippler's Order Denying Kohberger's Frank's Hearing Request (Part 5-6) (10/2/25)
In Ada County Case No. CR01-24-31665, the defendant, Bryan C. Kohberger, filed a motion requesting a Franks hearing, aiming to challenge the validity of the search warrant affidavits by alleging intentional or reckless false statements or omissions by law enforcement. After thorough consideration, the court denied this motion on February 19, 2025, concluding that the defendant did not meet the necessary burden to warrant such a hearing. Specifically, the court found insufficient evidence to suggest that any false statements or omissions were made intentionally or with reckless disregard for the truth in the affidavits supporting the search warrants.Additionally, the defense had submitted multiple motions to suppress evidence obtained through various search warrants, including those related to AT&T, Google, USB, Apple, Amazon, arrest warrants, and searches conducted in Pennsylvania and Idaho. These motions were also denied by the court. In its ruling, the court determined that the search warrants in question were supported by probable cause and that the evidence obtained was lawfully acquired. Consequently, all challenged evidence remains admissible in the ongoing proceedings against Mr. Kohberger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:021925-Order-Defedants-Moton-Franks-Hearing.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A Few Final Thoughts As Bryan Kohberger Fades Into Oblivion
Idaho Four murders didn’t just expose the evil of Bryan Kohberger—they revealed the sickness festering in the true crime community. From the moment news broke, self-proclaimed sleuths and content creators swarmed like vultures, exploiting the deaths of four students and dragging survivors Dylan and Bethany through hell. These people weren’t seeking justice—they were chasing clout, spinning conspiracy theories, vilifying traumatized witnesses, and accusing grieving families of lies. They cloaked their cruelty in faux concern and turned unspeakable tragedy into profitable spectacle, smearing the names of the dead and hounding the living for clicks and engagement. In doing so, they inflicted a second wave of trauma on those already devastated by loss, proving that some of the worst wounds are carved not by knives, but by the internet’s insatiable thirst for drama.And then there’s Kohberger himself—a hollow, attention-starved coward who slaughtered vibrant young lives to feel significant. He wasn’t a genius or an enigma—he was a bitter failure who targeted joy because he couldn’t stand its reflection. He thought murder would make him matter, but all it earned him was a concrete tomb and eternal contempt. He will live out his days in silence, stripped of control, stripped of myth, remembered only as a disgrace. Meanwhile, the victims live on—beloved, mourned, eternal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
