Surviving the Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime

#STSNation! Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending cases like the shocking allegations against the Alexander Brothers. Seven new lawsuits have been filed against Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, adding to the growing legal troubles of the once high-profile real estate moguls. The latest accusations, brought as a legal deadline closed, now bring the total to 24 lawsuits, spanning both civil and criminal courts. The allegations describe a disturbing pattern of sexual assault, drugging, and trafficking—with claims dating back over a decade. The brothers, who were arrested in December on federal sex-trafficking charges, remain jailed in New York and are set to face trial in 2026. Even more shocking, these latest lawsuits expand the net of accountability to include the Alexander brothers’ parents, their family business, real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman, and even an estate owner in the Hamptons—all accused of enabling or turning a blind eye to the alleged abuse. With new victims coming forward, the scandal has rocked the world of luxury real estate, where the Alexander name once carried power. Are the lawsuits a search for justice—or, as the defense claims, a cash grab? We break down the latest developments with the #BestGuests, bringing you expert analysis on this explosive case. Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

To everyone's surprise, Defendant Donna Adelson, who faces murder charges in the case of her ex son in law Dan Markel, took the stand in a motion hearing where she displayed an emotional side--and shared a lot of insight into how she's spending her time behind bars--and the alleged abuse she's been facing. Donna Adelson and her defense team filed motions to have jail house calls removed from the trial's evidence and is asking that she allowed to go on house arrest until her trial begins in June. Donna Adelson will go on trial for the murder of his ex son-in-law Dan Markel who was shot and killed in 2014 in a murder for hire plot. Dan Markel was married to Wendi Adelson, Donna's only daughter. Donna's other child, Charlie Adelson, is now in prison after her was tried and convicted of being involved in the murder for hire plot, too. This is a true crime case out of Tallahassee, Florida where Donna now awaits her trial in the Leon County Jail. Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
