The Banker Behind Murdaugh: Russell Laffitte Sentenced for Fraud & Conspiracy Russell Laffitte was once the golden boy of South Carolina banking—CEO of Palmetto State Bank, “Independent Banker of the Year,” heir to a century-old family dynasty. Now, he's headed to federal prison. In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski takes you inside the courtroom and beyond, unpacking the full story behind Laffitte's five-year federal sentence for bank fraud, conspiracy, and wire fraud—all committed to prop up none other than convicted killer Alex Murdaugh. This isn't just about dirty money—it's about the quiet power that makes crimes like Murdaugh's possible. Laffitte didn't pull the trigger. But he moved the money. He signed the loans. He drained trust accounts meant for injured clients and grieving families. And for years, he helped Alex Murdaugh steal from the people who needed protection most. We break down how the scheme worked, who got hurt, and why Laffitte finally pleaded guilty—despite originally fighting the charges. We also explore what his downfall says about the toxic loyalty, unchecked privilege, and small-town dynasties that enabled Murdaugh to wreak havoc for over a decade. Was Laffitte a victim of charm and pressure—or was he always this willing to betray the public trust? And how many more accomplices are still hiding in plain sight? With new details from federal documents, court transcripts, and expert analysis, this is the story of what happens when the people who are supposed to protect the system… become part of the rot.

Jes Staley's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a lapse in judgment—it was a full-blown embrace of depravity dressed up as “networking.” Staley wasn't dragged into Epstein's orbit; he signed up for the frequent flyer program. He flew to the island, sent creepy “Snow White” emails, and played the role of banker, buddy, and image-launderer for a convicted sex offender. This wasn't ignorance—it was arrogance. He knew exactly who Epstein was and decided that power, money, and access were worth more than decency, truth, or his own reputation.In the end, Staley will never be remembered for his banking career or “leadership.” His legacy is sealed as Epstein's enabler, lapdog, and fool—the man who polished the monster's image while survivors were left fighting for justice. He represents everything rotten about high finance: greed over morality, image over truth, connections over humanity. Staley thought he could walk hand-in-hand with Epstein and still be respected.

A Banker's Memory Is a Sponsor's Edge Brad Andrus isn't just another operator in today's market. He's the co-founder of Northbridge Commercial Real Estate and a former community-bank lender who cut his teeth during the 2008 crisis. That experience shaped the conservative, cash-flow-first discipline he brings to self-storage, office, and industrial deals across DFW today. In this episode, Brad lays out why sponsors who master operating discipline—not market timing—win when capital is cautious and debt is expensive. Here are 5 questions he answers that every sponsor and investor should be paying attention to right now: How do you structure debt so it survives a cycle—even if growth underwhelms? Why are community banks still the hidden edge for sponsors, even in today's tighter credit regime? What's the new investor mindset after 2021–2023's write-downs and capital calls? How do you play offense in self-storage when household mobility (and move-ins) slows down? What really earns sponsors repeat checks from equity investors in 2024–2025? Brad's through-line is refreshingly clear: lower leverage, cash-flow bias, relationship banking, and transparent communication. For anyone raising capital or allocating into deals right now, his insights are a blueprint for surviving—and compounding—across market cycles. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are examining how Cardi B. has been schooling the courtroom on authenticity, Russell Laffitte stalls his way through justice.  Cardi B's testimony in California shows how authenticity and honesty can make a witness credible, even when the stakes are high. Contrast that with South Carolina's Russell Laffitte, whose plea and sentencing delays reflect a system that bends for the well-connected We also touch on how JP Miller's courtroom stunts might seem laughable, but they're a distraction from the real harm caused when predators use legal loopholes to protect themselves. Plus, in Texas, the family of Christa Bauer Gilley is still fighting for justice after her suspicious death was nearly written off as a suicide.  These cases may span celebrities, bankers, and grieving families, but the thread is the same: victims deserve better, and the truth deserves sunlight. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy's Reaction to Taylor & Travis Engagement on Instagram

Mens en kvinde spiste morgenmad med sin søn og hans venner, trillede en ukendt hvid bil pludselig ind i indkørslen. Kort efter bankede det på døren. Udenfor stod en klovn med farverige heliumballoner i den ene hånd og en kurv med friske blomster i den anden. I dagens miniepisode kommer også forbi et makabert gerningssted i Australien, som en dansker stod bag, og den levende begravelse af en ung mor i England.

In this episode, Krisstina and Richard Canfield — an Infinite Banking practitioner and long-time student of Nelson Nash — dive into the philosophy behind Becoming Your Own Banker and why it reshaped both of their lives. Richard shares how a $20 book gave him a better financial education than $40,000 worth of real estate and personal finance seminars, and why Infinite Banking is about more than insurance policies; it's about behavior, mindset, and creating a family system of wealth.Together, they discuss the difference between tax strategy and tax prep, how to rethink “capital” as the foundation of wealth creation, and why payments never end — but you can choose whether to make them to a bank or back into your own family system. Richard also explains how he teaches clients to hold “family banking meetings,” passing down not just money but the values and habits that ensure wealth lasts for generations.If you've ever felt constrained by traditional banks, frustrated with debt, or unsure how to secure your financial legacy, this conversation offers a radically different way of thinking about money — one that could change your life and your family's future.Links & ResourcesBecoming Your Own Banker – Nelson Nash: https://amzn.to/4fVbwIoCash Follows the Leader by Richard Canfield & Jason Lowe: https://amzn.to/3JF4T0VDon't Spread the Wealth by Richard Canfield & Jason Lowe: https://amzn.to/47l8PhnWhat They Talked About3:40 – Krisstina's introduction to Infinite Banking through Becoming Your Own Banker6:45 – Richard's first copy of Nash's book and why he still re-reads it today12:00 – Why this $20 book was more valuable than $40,000 of financial seminars18:30 – Nelson Nash's philosophy: "It's all about how you think"26:00 – The connection between Austrian economics and Infinite Banking33:00 – Understanding capital and why payments never end45:00 – Becoming your own banker vs. Infinite Banking as a family system50:00 – How to host family banking meetings and pass wealth values down generations Subscribe & ShareIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review — and share it with someone who needs to hear Richard Canfield's message of financial freedom.

Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel, talks with Mary Bridges, Ernest May Fellow in History and Policy at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, about her book, Dollars and Dominion: US Bankers and the Making of a Superpower. Dollars and Dominion takes an infrastructural view of banking institutions and examines how US banks, almost by accident, became a durable part of the global financial system in the first half of the 20th century, supporting the global dominance of the US dollar after World War II. Vinsel and Bridges also discuss the benefits and limitations of using infrastructure as a framework of analysis and the next projects Bridges is working on. Lee wrote a new essay for the Peoples & Things newsletter, “Disinvestment and Decline in Infrastructure Studies,” inspired by a key moment in the discussion. Learn more about your ad choices.
