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.

Mega Edition:  Steve Mnuchin And His Very Odd Connection To Jea Luc Brunel (11/16/25)

Mega Edition: Steve Mnuchin And His Very Odd Connection To Jea Luc Brunel (11/16/25)

Steve Mnuchin’s ties to Jean-Luc Brunel surfaced when public corporate records showed Mnuchin listed as the official “state point of contact” for Next Management Corporation, the U.S. entity founded by Brunel and his brother in 1988. The designation placed Mnuchin on paperwork connected to Brunel’s modeling empire — the same empire later accused of funneling underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein. Mnuchin’s office publicly distanced him from the connection, claiming he had no memory of meeting Brunel, no involvement with the company, and no explanation for why his name appeared on the documents. But the linkage remains one of the many odd, unresolved overlaps in the Epstein network where powerful figures appear on paperwork nobody seems eager to explain.Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly acknowledged that he flew twice on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. He said the first flight was in 1993 when he was traveling to Florida with his wife and two children, and the second occurred on another occasion when he was joined by his wife and four children going to South Dakota “to go fossil hunting”. He asserted these trips took place about thirty years ago, before Epstein’s criminal conduct was widely known, and insisted he was never alone with Epstein.  Kennedy emphasized that his participation was incidental and familial in nature—he described the flights as carrying his family on leisure or research-oriented outings, not as part of any ongoing relationship with Epstein. He also called for full transparency around Epstein’s network and urged that the “high-level political people” involved in Epstein’s activities be subject to public disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Murder In Moscow:  The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 8)

Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 8)

On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:KB-25-01-23-Hearing-Redacted.eclBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Alice Poe And Her Motion To Remain Anonymous In Her Legal Battle With Epstein (11/15/25)

Alice Poe And Her Motion To Remain Anonymous In Her Legal Battle With Epstein (11/15/25)

Alice Poe filed a civil complaint under a pseudonym (Alice Poe) against Epstein’s estate, alleging that she had been sexually abused by Epstein over a long period starting when she was a minor. Media reports state she accused him of grooming her, abusing her for about 15 years, and moving her through his orbit under false pretenses.In connection with her lawsuit, she sought a Motion to Proceed Anonymously (i.e., to keep her identity under seal) — asking the court to let her use the pseudonym “Alice Poe” rather than her real name. The motion was grounded in the highly sensitive personal nature of the alleged abuse and the risks she claimed would come with having her identity publicly revealed — including trauma, stigma, and potential retaliation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Trump Calls for an Investigation and Opens Pandora’s Box (11/15/25)

Be Careful What You Wish For: Trump Calls for an Investigation and Opens Pandora’s Box (11/15/25)

President Trump’s recent call for an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — even though driven by his desire to target political enemies — has unexpectedly opened the door to the one thing victims, journalists, and the public have demanded for decades: a full, unfiltered, scorched-earth investigation into the entire Epstein network. Regardless of Trump’s motives, the demand for a comprehensive inquiry is long overdue. The evidence already available is more than sufficient to launch a massive multi-pronged federal RICO case involving human trafficking, financial crimes, money laundering, international transport of minors, conspiracy, bribery, foreign intelligence ties, prosecutorial misconduct, and systemic institutional corruption. If accountability is real, then every person connected — billionaires, politicians, bankers, intelligence agents, celebrities, academics, royals, lawyers, prosecutors, and yes, Donald Trump himself — must be investigated without exception or favoritism. Justice cannot be selective. No more theatrics, no more distraction campaigns, no more redaction games.The only viable pathway forward is the appointment of an independent special investigator with absolute authority — someone outside the political system, immune to pressure, blackmail, influence, or partisan interference. The investigation must include full subpoena power, unrestricted access to financial records, sealed depositions, recovered digital evidence, and sworn testimony from every powerful figure who once believed they were untouchable. Anything less is cosmetic theater. This is no longer about Republican vs. Democrat, or about protecting reputations — it is about whether the United States still possesses the moral backbone and institutional will to pursue truth when it threatens the elite class. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, he should welcome the spotlight. If others do, they should tremble. The time for excuses has expired. Appoint the investigator. Open the vault. And let the truth burn.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Epstein Industrial Narrative Machine: Megyn Kelly Edition   (11/15/25)

The Epstein Industrial Narrative Machine: Megyn Kelly Edition (11/15/25)

In recent commentary that sparked widespread backlash, Megyn Kelly questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein should be labeled a pedophile, suggesting that because he allegedly preferred girls around the ages of 15 or 16 rather than much younger children, the term might not technically apply. Her remarks attempted to draw a distinction between categories of sexual exploitation, focusing on definitional nuance rather than the underlying criminal reality that Epstein was convicted of sexually abusing minors and running an international trafficking operation that recruited vulnerable underage girls. Critics argue that this framing risks minimizing the gravity of Epstein’s conduct and diverting attention from the extensive harm inflicted on victims.Kelly’s comments prompted strong public condemnation, including responses from journalists and advocates who said that reducing foreign coercion and trafficking of minors to semantic debate undermines accountability and trivializes the severity of the crimes. Observers noted that the language echoed past attempts by Epstein’s defenders to soften public perception and reframe him as merely inappropriate rather than predatory and violent.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
