The Neil Haley Show 07-21-26: Matthew Cox of Inside True Crime, Poet and Author MJ Bop, and The Mike Vilardi Show

Celebrity Interviews

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a special simulcast of Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen, the Storehouse Media Group podcast, welcoming Matthew Cox, the former licensed mortgage broker turned nationally recognized expert on white collar crime. Cox built his criminal career around synthetic identities and the fraudulent acquisition of credit cards, personal loans and mortgages, landed on the Secret Service Most Wanted list, and served 13 years in federal prison. Today he hosts Inside True Crime, interviewing law enforcement, journalists and former criminals. Cox opened up about the writing career he started behind bars, the life rights he has optioned, and the persistent confusion around War Dogs, the film based on Guy Lawson's Rolling Stone article. Cox was incarcerated with Efraim Diveroli, the figure played by Jonah Hill, and ghostwrote and sold Diveroli's memoir, but had no hand in the movie. His own memoir, Shark in the Housing Pool, has been optioned several times across seven years without reaching production, and Cox explained why he refuses to build a life around waiting on Hollywood.The conversation turned into a candid masterclass on podcast growth. Cox has built Inside True Crime to 1.1 million YouTube subscribers in roughly six years, tracing the arc from filming himself on an iPhone, to one video a week, to a full in-studio operation producing three long-form episodes a week plus daily shorts. He explained why AdSense outperforms outside sponsors for a true crime show, and how shorts and reels drove his biggest surge. Neil pushed him on volume, recommending a more aggressive shorts schedule, and shared how NHL Wraparound is capturing summer hockey attention with former New York Rangers general manager Neil Smith. Cox also detailed going from begging guests to appear to fielding more submissions than he can book, and why storytelling ability matters more to him than the size of the crime.Cox was equally direct about the harder material, describing how he bristled at the first articles written about him before accepting that the con man label fit, and came to terms with how Dateline and American Greed portrayed him. Rewriting his memoir forced an honest accounting, and by his release he had decided to tell his story exactly as it happened regardless of how it made him look. Sherrie, drawing on 32 years in law enforcement, credited him for paying court-ordered restitution when most people in the federal system never bother, and for avoiding recidivism. Cox also discussed launching additional channels, including The Murder Man, which monetized in about nine days, and the painting career that kept him afloat after the halfway house. He still paints today.Neil then welcomed poet, recording artist and author MJ Bop, whose work blends storytelling, music and spoken word. Bop won a poetry award in second grade, earned an XXL Magazine Hip-Hop Quotable in 1999, released the single You Don't Hear Me, and performed throughout New York City before touring Switzerland and Japan. He cited Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick and Cam'ron as influences, and spoke movingly about the stroke and heart attack he suffered in 2023, which erased his memory of rhyming and forced him to relearn himself, deepening his faith and resetting his priorities. Bop discussed his book Bop Poetry, Writer of the Black Experience, drawn from the struggles, dreams and shackled hopes he sees in his own neighborhood, his clothing brand Writers Wear, created to make writing cool for young people, and his upcoming book Losing Myself to Find Myself.The program closes with The Mike Vilardi Show, where Neil and Mike Vilardi discussed the reported bounty on President Trump, the Ayatollah's funeral, the assumptions that shaped the recent conflict with Iran, and Vilardi's view that ideological fractures will split the Democratic Party.

Ideally, every sentence serves to promote respect for the law.  But in an age of the most lawless DOJ in American history – respect for the law is a dead letter.  The sentencing of Judge Hannah Dugan is the most recent example of a how a weaponized DOJ is built for retribution, not justice. Doug Passon and sentencing stats expert Mark Allenbaugh conduct one of their famous "sentencing post-mortems", dissecting every aspect of Judge Dugan's sentencing.  She avoided a prison cell, but her life is forever changed. The question that should be hanging over every judge in the country right now: who's next to get "Hannah Duganed"? In This Episode: 02:39 – The recap: convicted of obstruction, acquitted of harboring, hit with a $5,000 fine; 04:11 – Why "no prison" doesn't mean the DOJ lost — the process was the punishment; 07:47 – Grading the sentencing memos; 08:18 – The government's fuzzy guideline math and the mysterious Interactive Data Analyzer 34:01 – The BOP designation bullet Judge Dugan dodged 38:01 – The Passon Slap!?

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report on Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody revealed severe lapses in protocol, negligence, and misconduct by Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, died of apparent suicide on August 10, 2019. The report found that staff failed to conduct regular 30-minute checks on Epstein's cell, as required, and that surveillance cameras in his unit were either inoperative or not monitored adequately. The night of Epstein's death, officers on duty had fallen asleep or were otherwise occupied, leaving him unsupervised for hours, which the OIG noted as a direct violation of BOP policies. These failures contributed to the conditions that allowed Epstein the opportunity to take his own life.The report also highlighted a pattern of understaffing, low morale, and inadequate training at the facility, which OIG officials noted could have affected the staff's attentiveness and contributed to policy non-compliance. Despite the extensive scrutiny surrounding Epstein, including prior suicide attempts, the OIG noted that prison staff were inadequately briefed on his heightened risk level. This lack of communication, combined with the failure of supervisory staff to enforce accountability, created an environment where critical protocols were ignored. The report concluded that systemic issues within the BOP were likely contributors to the failures in Epstein's case and recommended measures to improve oversight, ensure policy adherence, and address structural weaknesses in the federal prison system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The report found that staff failed to conduct regular 30-minute checks on Epstein's cell, as required, and that surveillance cameras in his unit were either inoperative or not monitored adequately. The night of Epstein's death, officers on duty had fallen asleep or were otherwise occupied, leaving him unsupervised for hours, which the OIG noted as a direct violation of BOP policies. These failures contributed to the conditions that allowed Epstein the opportunity to take his own life.The report also highlighted a pattern of understaffing, low morale, and inadequate training at the facility, which OIG officials noted could have affected the staff's attentiveness and contributed to policy non-compliance. Despite the extensive scrutiny surrounding Epstein, including prior suicide attempts, the OIG noted that prison staff were inadequately briefed on his heightened risk level. This lack of communication, combined with the failure of supervisory staff to enforce accountability, created an environment where critical protocols were ignored. The report concluded that systemic issues within the BOP were likely contributors to the failures in Epstein's case and recommended measures to improve oversight, ensure policy adherence, and address structural weaknesses in the federal prison system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)

The Fate of John Bolton: Trump Doesn't Just Pick Who's Prosecuted — Now He Picks Your Prison, Too

Set For Sentencing

Ambassador John Bolton pled guilty last week to mishandling classified information, and the plea includes a stipulation that if he receives prison, the term is no more than five years.  On paper, this agreement reads like a win. But the plea isn't the paper that matters most, because the same week Bolton signed his plea, Acting U.S. Attorney Todd Blanche quietly issued a policy formalizing something no DOJ has ever done: proclaimed express authority to override the Bureau of Prisons and personally decide where an inmate will serve their sentence.    Therefore, the wall between prosecution and punishment is now officially obliterated.  Trump doesn't just decide who gets charged. Now, through Todd Blanche, he decides where you rot. Only the sentencing judge has the power to save him from this possible fate, by imposing a non-custodial sentence.  The only question now is --  will he do it?   IN THIS EPISODE: Why Biden's DOJ had four years to prosecute Bolton and didn't; Compare and contrast Trumps (alleged) crimes and Bolton's; Grading Bolton's plea agreement; Introducing Todd Blanche's new BOP designation change notice; Why the order could result in "pay for play" like the pardon and clemency process; Connecting the order to Ghislaine Maxwell's camp placement; The one sentencing move that could shield a defendant from vindictive BOP placement; Reading Abbe Lowell's press release and Bolton's "service to country" framing – a good lesson in narrative structure LINK: RECENT CHANGE TO BOP PLACEMENT POLICY:

The Ghislaine Maxwell Transfer and the Politics of Prison Privilege (7/3/26)

Beyond The Horizon

The Bureau of Prisons' claim that Ghislaine Maxwell was moved from Tallahassee to Texas for “security reasons” is presented as another vague, insulting explanation in a long line of Epstein-related evasions. The argument is that the phrase does not explain what kind of security issue existed, why the solution was a move to a less restrictive minimum-security camp, who approved it, or how the decision squared with BOP classification rules, sentence length, offense conduct, custody scoring, transfer protocols, and ordinary treatment of federal inmates. Instead of calming suspicion, the lack of detail makes the transfer look like special handling, especially given Maxwell's conviction, what she may know about Epstein's network, and the timing of renewed federal attention around her.The broader point is that the government has forfeited trust through years of secrecy, redactions, closed-door processes, weak explanations, and institutional failures connected to Epstein, including the non-prosecution agreement, victim-notification failures, sweetheart treatment, and Epstein's death in federal custody. The transfer is framed as another example of the same pattern: power protecting power while survivors and the public are told to accept process instead of truth. The piece argues that Congress should demand the transfer packet, custody scoring, approval chain, waivers, management variables, and communications between BOP and DOJ officials. Until those documents are produced, the move should be treated not as routine prison administration but as another suspicious act of preferential treatment in a case already defined by evasion and coverup.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Many behavior analysts have experienced the frustration of teaching a skill successfully in one setting only to discover that it doesn't transfer to the situations where it actually matters. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Montgomery and Emily Beal Wilkinson of Victory Academy to discuss how Essential for Living (EFL) and event-based teaching can help bridge that gap. Kristina and Emily share their professional journeys into behavior analysis and describe how discovering Dr. Patrick McGreevy's Essential for Living framework reshaped their approach to supporting learners with limited skill repertoires. Rather than focusing on isolated skill acquisition, EFL prioritizes the development of functional, meaningful skills that improve quality of life and increase independence. A major focus of our conversation is event-based teaching, an instructional approach that embeds learning opportunities within naturally occurring and highly meaningful activities. From gardening and cooking to operating school cafés and participating in role-playing activities, Kristina and Emily explain how these experiences allow practitioners to teach multiple skills simultaneously while creating natural sources of reinforcement. We also discuss: How Kristina and Emily first discovered Essential for Living and why it resonated with their clinical experiences. Why traditional skill-building approaches sometimes fail to produce meaningful generalization. The concept of "stacking" activities to address multiple goals through a single event. Examples of event-based teaching activities including gardening, cooking, cafés, and community-based experiences. A detailed case study illustrating the transition from VB-MAPP-style programming to contextual, event-based instruction. How literacy, communication, social, and adaptive skills can be embedded within meaningful activities. The role of natural reinforcement in improving learner engagement. Their innovative health and wellness program designed to teach tolerance for medical and dental procedures. How desensitization training can reduce the need for sedation, restraint, and other restrictive practices. The collateral benefits these programs create for families and healthcare providers. Research questions related to contextual instruction, assessment, staff satisfaction, and BCBA training. Advice for newly certified behavior analysts on professional development and values-based practice. This episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, special educators, and anyone supporting individuals with significant support needs who are looking for practical ways to make instruction more meaningful, functional, and socially significant.

This week, you'll hear a conversation with Bam and Row, two residents of so-called Durham, NC to talk about that city and industries and their experience of solidarity with houseless neighbors, particularly in the Oakwood Park encampment which the city has already attempted to evict once this year. The guests give a long term and detailed view of the development of the city and the role of Duke University and adjacent, co-constitutive businesses and the city's research park play in the day to day grind of living in that triangle city. GoFundMe to support mutual aid with the Oakwood community Also, after the interview the guests reached out wanting to uplift Traingle Anarchist Black Cross as one group involved in community support for the Oakwood Park encampment. They meet 4th Sunday (that's today!!!) from 2-4pm for letter writing at The Burrow in Durham. More at linktr.ee/triangleabc Finally, many of the people listed as inspirational by Row at the end of the interview have been either guests on this show in the past or the subject of episodes, which you can find under the tag of Black Anarchism. Announcements Recent Repression Updates Federal Indictments have come down against people alleged to have taken part in anti-ICE protests (accused of being Antifa) in so-called Minneapolis. We plan to cover this in an upcoming episode, but meanwhile would direct listeners to recent episodes of It Could Happen Here, Outlaw Podcast and Live Like The World is Dying on the topic (the latter two are pending but should pop up at those links) Also, sentencing has begun in the Prairieland "Antifa" case, with decades being handed out to make a political point (in the words of one judge). You can follow the updates at PrairielandDefendants.com (and we should be sharing an interview on the sentencing next week, once it's complete for the Federal case). Request for call-in to support mentally ill prisoner at the Joe Corley Detention Center in Texas The prescribed collective action I believe will solve this issue here at the Joe Corley Detention centers RHU cellblock is: 1) A phone zap to warden Dickey's office, the commissary office and the US Marshals office. The Marshals pay these inmates $1 a day and are responsible for their work ethics while awaiting transfer to a BOP. Joe Corley Detention Center phone number: (936) 521-4000 US Marshals Office Southern District of Texas phone number: (713) 718-4800 2) Request that these individuals review surveillance cameras in the RHU cellblock where the incident involving a mentally ill prisoner name Brandon that live in cell 243 took place on the morning of 6-25-26 while he was forced to go to rec. This is to verify that he just purchased nearly $100 worth of commissary, a T-shirt- batteries, boxers, etc yesterday. 3) Demand that all of his items be returned to him. 4) Disciplinary for the officers involved in allowing the inmate worker to enter Brandon's cell wholly unsupervised, take his items and refuse to investigate his valid complaint because he's mentally ill and can't comprehend what happened. Background On the morning of June 25 2026 officer Henley and a male white or Hispanic looking officer approached Brandon's cell (243). They told him he was going to rec whether he liked it or not. Brandon complied with their order and was handcuffed and taken to the rec cage outside. I note Brandon wasn't wearing a commissary T-shirt, nor was he carrying anything when he left the cell. Moments later a Black inmate worker with a yellow skin tone entered the cellblock with a cart used to carry cleaning materials. They say he is amongst the most despised for his interest in stealing from other inmates. This inmate worker was ordered to clean Brandon's cell. Not only did he clean the cell, he cleaned him out. As both guards left him to his own device, taking their eyes off of him to tend to less important things. The inmate worker took a large plastic bag full of Brandon's commissary that he'd just bought yesterday, two bags of coffee and a few things laying around and tossed them in the cart's trash compartment like it was trash. Soon after Brandon was placed back into an empty cell and to his dissatisfaction, he protested that Henley had set him up to be robbed. Henley blew his concern off to a female mailroom employee as a hallucination, but what happened was reality. Around 10:20am the inmate worker returned to sweep and mop the cellblock wearing, what looked like, Brandons brand new T-shirt under his own jail issued prison garb. The officer who helped Henley take Brandon to rec halfheartedly asked the inmate worker if he stole Brandon's commissary, implying he wasn't present while the worker was in Brandon's cell. Of course the worker denied taking anything, merely suggesting that the only thing in the cell was trash on the floor. Though he did admit to the officer to taking Brandon's shampoo to use as he wanted. And his other inmate co worker gritted at Brandon that that's what gets done to psych patients. From what transpired both officers not only knew what happened but they created the incident as they already dislike Brandon because of his mental illness, forced him to leave his cell so that an inmate that openly despised him could clean it up unsupervised and stock piled with goodies. If such acts against the mentally ill are perceived as heroic deeds in the eyes of this inmate worker and guards who condone it. What does that say about observers on standby that cheer them on, or an administration that chooses to assist by covering it up? . … . .. Featured Track: TFSR by The Willows Whisper

The failure to keep Jeffrey Epstein alive was not just a jailhouse screwup; it was a neon-lit indictment of the Bureau of Prisons as an institution. Epstein was one of the most high-profile federal detainees in the country, a man whose survival mattered to victims, investigators, the courts, and the public's faith in the justice system. Yet the BOP managed to leave him effectively unprotected inside MCC New York, despite his prior incident in custody, despite the obvious stakes, and despite basic procedures that were supposed to prevent exactly this outcome. The DOJ Inspector General found failures involving his housing, supervision, required rounds, staff performance, and institutional follow-through, including the failure to ensure he had a cellmate and the failure of staff to carry out required responsibilities in the hours before his death. In other words, the agency did not merely drop the ball; it dropped the ball, kicked it into traffic, falsified the paperwork, and then asked the country to accept that this was just another unfortunate bureaucratic accident.That is why Epstein's death personifies the absolute dumpster fire the BOP was and continues to be: an agency defined by understaffing, broken infrastructure, bad management, weak accountability, and a culture where catastrophic failures somehow become nobody's fault in any meaningful way. The DOJ's own watchdog has described federal corrections management as a long-running major challenge, with persistent problems including staffing shortages, deteriorating facilities, and contraband, while reporting around Epstein's death tied his case to broader BOP failures rather than a single isolated lapse. And that is the real insult. If the BOP could not properly safeguard the most watched prisoner in America, inside one of the most scrutinized cases in modern history, then what chance does an ordinary prisoner have when nobody is watching, nobody is famous, and nobody in power is afraid of the consequences? Epstein's death did not create the crisis of confidence around the BOP; it exposed it in the ugliest possible way.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Maxwell Transfer and the Questions Around Todd Blanche (6/24/26)

Liz Oyer, a former DOJ pardon attorney, argues that Todd Blanche and the Trump Justice Department have been hiding the real reason Ghislaine Maxwell was moved from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas after Blanche personally interviewed her for roughly nine hours over two days. Maxwell, who is serving 20 years for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually exploit girls, gave Trump highly favorable statements during that meeting, saying he was “a gentleman” and denying that she ever saw him behave inappropriately with Epstein. Days later, she was moved to a far less restrictive prison camp, despite Bureau of Prisons rules that generally bar convicted sex offenders from minimum-security camps because they carry a “public safety factor” requiring at least low-security confinement.The core accusation is that the DOJ's public explanation does not hold up. BOP claimed Maxwell was moved for safety reasons and that there was no special treatment, but Oyer says safety threats are normally handled through protective custody, SHU placement, or a transfer to another appropriate low-security facility — not by sending a convicted sex trafficker to the least-secure kind of federal prison. The “clear admission,” in her view, is a May 6, 2026 change to BOP policy giving the attorney general power to designate or redesignate where prisoners are held, which she sees as a retroactive attempt to justify what already happened to Maxwell and to give Blanche sweeping power over prisoner placement. Her conclusion is blunt: this looks like preferential treatment for Maxwell, potentially tied to protecting Trump, and it should be a major line of questioning at Blanche's confirmation hearing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Clear admission' Trump DOJ broke rules to help Ghislaine Maxwell uncovered by expert - Raw Story
