The Epstein estate claimed it was facing a liquidity problem when the victims' compensation fund requested additional payouts, arguing that although the estate's total value appeared substantial, most of the assets were tied up in hard-to-sell property, aircraft, and other non-liquid holdings. They stated that they did not have enough immediately accessible cash to fulfill compensation requests and could not provide a clear timeline for resolving the issue, which resulted in a temporary pause on new settlement offers.Victims' attorneys and officials sharply criticized the move, suggesting the liquidity explanation functioned more as a stalling tactic than a genuine financial obstacle. They pointed out that the estate continued covering operational and legal expenses during the payout freeze, raising suspicion about priorities and transparency. The announcement also came amid steep reported declines in the estate's overall valuation, prompting questions about where the money had gone and whether resources were being shielded rather than distributed to survivors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In the quiet chaos of a family crisis, a single phone call can upend your world. For Beth Pinsker, CFP®, that call came when her 76-year-old mother, living independently in Florida, faced spinal surgery and needed help managing her daily life—and her money. What followed was nine months of medical ups and downs, culminating in her mother's passing and the grueling task of settling her estate. Pinsker, a retirement and financial planning columnist at MarketWatch, channeled this experience into her new book, My Mother's Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving. It's not just a memoir; it's a roadmap for the 63 million Americans—often sandwiched between their own lives and aging parents—thrust into financial caregiving roles.As a Certified Financial Planner who doesn't manage client money, Pinsker's expertise shines through her journalistic lens. "I just write about this stuff for educational purposes and to help guide people through holistic planning," she explains in a recent interview with the Positive Aging Community. Her book demystifies the "mess" of elder finances, blending raw storytelling with practical tools. Structured in five parts—Getting Started, The Cost of Care, How to Make the Money Last, Settling the Estate, and Workbooks—it's designed to turn dread into doable steps.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches into Health & Wellness Wednesday with energy, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com) joins John Rush to unpack the hidden urgency of end-of-year planning. Why do families wait until tragedy strikes before putting vital documents in place? And how much chaos, stress, and financial strain could be avoided with one simple phone call? Michael reveals the timelines, the pitfalls, and the holiday-season crunch most people never see coming—until it's too late. Then lifestyle creator Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com) steps in with Thanksgiving survival tactics. Want to know the freezer-friendly casseroles that save hours? The one thawing mistake that can ruin your turkey? Shanisty shares time-saving tricks, kid-friendly dishes that turn a stressful holiday into a joyful one. Finally, wellness expert Julie E. (https://julieehealth.com)enters with a surprise topic: scar tissue as an overlooked root cause of chronic health struggles. Could those “old dents” in the body silently drain your energy and disrupt hormones? Hour 1 ends with questions you didn't even know you needed to ask—setting up a compelling deep-dive into hidden health truths. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author and leadership expert Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com), who reveals a surprising source of wisdom: the childhood song Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Could the familiar E-I-E-I-O actually contain timeless leadership secrets about example, instruction, inspiration, and optimism? Richard shows how these simple principles can rebuild teams, restore vision, and expose the insecurity that keeps modern leaders stuck. From there, the show pivots into breaking news and online frenzy as John Rush unpacks the mysterious lights seen over Colorado. Were they UFOs? A secret government test? Or something far more ordinary? John exposes how quickly conspiracies grow—and why AI-generated videos and fabricated content make truth harder to spot than ever. Finally, Sonny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org/ ) joins John to break down a razor-thin 5–4 Supreme Court decision granting President Trump sweeping authority to target cartel members as foreign terrorist organizations. Is this a turning point in the border crisis—or the beginning of a political earthquake? Hour 2 blends leadership insight, cultural tension, and breaking-news urgency into a sharp, energizing hour of radio you won't want to miss. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason opens with John reflecting on more than a decade behind the mic—and the nonstop learning that comes with it. But the hour quickly pivots to a hard look at Colorado's Front Range, fueled by listener messages pouring in about $2.29 Costco top-tier gas, public-school frustrations, and an explosive question: Why is Denver no longer one of America's most desirable cities to move to? John dives headfirst into the region's homelessness surge, criticizing weak leadership and policies that make life easier for those choosing the streets and harder for everyone else. Is homelessness now spreading from Denver into Castle Rock, Cheyenne, and every once-quiet suburb in between? And is failed governance—not economics—driving families and businesses away? The hour then shifts gears as Wall Street strategist Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://x.com/CScottGarliss) joins the show. Together, they unpack a jittery week on Wall Street: Michael Burry's harsh warnings about AI stocks, fears over rising car-loan defaults, and the Fed's looming interest-rate decisions. But with Nvidia's blowout earnings, is AI truly inflated hype—or a genuine revolution reshaping the economy? Hour 3 mixes economic intrigue, political fire, and real-world concerns into a fast-moving, thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.

Markets rise and fall—but not all cycles tell the same story. What do those ups and downs really mean for your investments?Scripture reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Just as God designed natural cycles—the sun, the tides, the seasons—financial markets also move through cycles. While less predictable, these patterns help us understand where we are in the investing journey and how to prepare wisely for what's ahead.According to Mark Biller, Executive Editor at Sound Mind Investing (SMI), the two most common market cycles are known as bull markets (when prices rise) and bear markets (when prices fall). But within those categories lie two distinct types of trends: cyclical and secular.Cyclical vs. Secular: What's the Difference?“The terms might sound fancy,” says Biller, “but they really describe short-term versus long-term cycles.”Cyclical markets are the short-term ups and downs—periods that might last a few months to a few years.Secular markets are the broader, long-term trends that can span decades—often between 10 and 40 years.Think of it like waves on the ocean. Cyclical markets are the smaller waves that move in and out, while secular markets are the larger tides that shape the shoreline over time.Learning from History: Market ExamplesFrom 1968 to 1982, the S&P 500 was essentially flat—a 15-year stretch where inflation eroded nearly 60% of investors' purchasing power. That's what economists call a secular bear market—a long-term period of little to no progress.Yet within that broader season, there were multiple shorter-term bull and bear cycles. Investors who recognized those patterns could navigate the market with more perspective and less panic.The same was true from 2000 to 2009, another decade of overall stagnation in U.S. stocks. “But even then,” Biller notes, “we saw two cyclical bear markets with a five-year bull market sandwiched between them.”The takeaway? Even in long-term downturns, some shorter-term opportunities and recoveries keep markets moving forward over time.Why It Matters—Especially for Bond InvestorsUnderstanding these cycles isn't just an academic exercise. “It's actually more helpful when it comes to bonds than stocks,” Biller explains.That's because bond markets move in much longer secular cycles. From 1982 to 2021, the U.S. enjoyed a 40-year secular bull market in bonds as interest rates steadily declined from 15% to near zero. But since 2020, that trend has reversed. “Interest rates have been rising again,” Biller says, “and that's led to negative returns for many bond investors over the last five years.”This shift could signal the beginning of a secular bear market for bonds—a long period in which rising interest rates make it harder for bonds to perform well.Rethinking the Classic 60/40 PortfolioFor decades, the “60/40” portfolio—60% stocks and 40% bonds—was the gold standard for balanced investing. But in today's environment, that mix may need to evolve.“At Sound Mind Investing (SMI), we've reduced our bond allocation to around 30%,” Biller explains. “We haven't abandoned bonds altogether, but we're diversifying beyond them.”That diversification includes strategies like:Dynamic asset allocation—adjusting investments as market conditions shiftGold and commodities—as hedges against inflationReal estate and energy stocks—for long-term growth potentialAlternative assets like Bitcoin (in small doses), to add further varietyBuilding a Portfolio That Endures Every SeasonWhether markets are bullish or bearish, cyclical or secular, the goal remains the same: build a portfolio that's resilient and rooted in wisdom.Biller's encouragement for long-term investors is simple:“We're not advocating for dramatic changes, but rather thoughtful diversification. The goal is to build portfolios you can stick with through every kind of market season.”That perspective echoes a deeper truth for believers: our ultimate security isn't found in market trends but in God's unchanging character. Markets may rise and fall, but His promises endure forever.Faith, Patience, and PerspectiveUnderstanding both short- and long-term market cycles helps us invest with patience, discipline, and faith—trusting that God is sovereign over every season, financial or otherwise.As Proverbs 21:5 reminds us, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”In every bull and bear market, we're called to plan wisely, give generously, and trust deeply—knowing that the One who holds the future also holds us.For more practical investing insights and biblical wisdom, visit SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm nearing retirement with no debt and some investment savings, but I don't have a pension.

The estate of Jeffrey Epstein faced major hurdles in trying to sell Zorro Ranch, his massive and infamous New Mexico property. Initially listed for roughly $27.5 million, the ranch sat on the market without a buyer for more than a year as the price steadily dropped, eventually being reduced to around $18 million in an effort to attract interest. Beyond the financial challenges, a clouded title emerged when a small religious nonprofit claimed it owned the land through a deed reportedly transferred from Epstein for $200—an allegation the estate argued was fraudulent. That dispute triggered legal complications that stalled any potential sale while the ownership question was argued in court.Even once the legal issues began to resolve, Zorro Ranch remained a toxic asset. The property was widely associated with allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking tied directly to Epstein's network, and the public scrutiny made potential buyers reluctant to become involved. Questions surrounding how proceeds would be distributed, particularly as victim compensation processes were ongoing, added further uncertainty. After nearly two years on the market, the estate finally managed to sell Zorro Ranch, but the deal was disclosed at an undisclosed price and made through a newly formed corporation—hardly the clean, high-value transaction Epstein's estate had originally expected.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It's one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history—trillions of dollars moving from one generation to the next. But this moment isn't just about inheritance. It's about passing on faith, values, and a vision for generosity.To explore how younger Christians are reimagining stewardship, we spoke with Christin Fejervary, Vice President for Brand and Experience at the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—a trusted partner helping believers give wisely and joyfully.From Obligation to Joyful GenerosityChristin's passion for generosity began early, though not in the way it's shaped her life today.“As a kid,” she shared, “giving was more of an obligation. I watched my parents tithe every week, and I learned discipline from that—but it wasn't until my 20s and 30s, and especially through working at NCF, that I saw how generosity changes us. It frees us from being tied to the things of this world.”That personal transformation has guided her work—helping others experience the joy that comes when giving is no longer a rule to follow but a relationship with God to live out.What's Driving the Next Generation to GiveWhen it comes to generosity, Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the playbook.According to NCF's research, millennials—now roughly ages 29 to 44—view philanthropy as part of their identity. For Christian millennials, that identity is deeply spiritual: “My life is a way to give away.”Christin explains:“They believe all resources have equal value—not just money, but time, influence, and relationships. They don't just want to write a check. They want to be part of the change.”This shift from transactional to relational giving marks a profound change from previous generations.Reimagining Traditional ToolsYounger Christians aren't abandoning tools like donor-advised funds, estate plans, or investment portfolios—they're personalizing them.“They want to see impact,” Christin said. “They're asking, ‘How is my giving being used?' and ‘What difference is it making?'”They're also expanding how they define stewardship—using investment portfolios for charitable investing and seeking spiritual returns as much as financial ones.At NCF, this has led to growing interest in community-based giving. Across the country, younger givers are joining together to give collectively, blending faith, friendship, and impact.What Advisors Need to KnowFinancial advisors also play a key role in this transition. But Christin says serving the next generation requires a shift in mindset.“Younger Christians want to co-create their giving plans. They want a seat at the table and a voice in the process. It's not just about managing money—it's about helping them uncover all the ways God's entrusted them to give.”For advisors, that means focusing less on control and more on collaboration, connection, and calling.How Families Can Have Faith-Filled ConversationsGenerosity isn't just a financial transaction—it's a family story. Cristin encourages families to start there.“The data shows that both generations—young and old—see faith as a guiding principle,” she said. “The key is to unpack what faithfulness looks like for each generation. When families share stories of how God has provided and guided them, something powerful happens.”Listening to one another's experiences helps bridge differences and creates a shared vision for stewardship across generations.How NCF Is Helping the Next Generation Live GenerouslyAt the National Christian Foundation (NCF), this generational shift is sparking new ideas and tools for families and advisors alike.New Research & Resources: NCF has published a comprehensive Next Gen Generosity Report—designed to help both older and younger generations navigate these conversations.Experiences & Events: Through community gatherings and local partnerships, NCF helps families explore generosity together—often in creative, organic ways led by next-gen participants.Collaboration with Advisors and Churches: NCF connects givers to trusted partners who can guide them through every stage of stewardship—from first-time donors to business owners planning legacy gifts.You can explore these resources at FaithFi.com/NCF or NCFgiving.com/nextgenresearch.The Power of AgencyOne key insight from NCF's research is the role of agency in healthy stewardship.“We define agency as the ability to act on the free will God gives us,” Cristin explained. “The more we step into that responsibility—making decisions, taking ownership—the more confident and joyful we become.”That means even those who inherit wealth should be encouraged to find their “Gen 1” opportunities—ways to take initiative, make decisions, and live out their calling to give.The Influence of Women in GenerosityAnother striking finding: women—especially mothers—play a major role in shaping generosity.“Seventy-two percent of millennials we surveyed said their mothers were the biggest influence on their giving,” Cristin shared.Yet, the research also revealed that many women feel unheard in family wealth decisions. The next step, Cristin says, is ensuring their voices are part of the conversation.“This is the time to incorporate women's perspectives in giving and wealth transfer. Their influence is profound—and essential.”Passing Faith Along With FinancesAs this great wealth transfer unfolds, Cristin reminds us that what we pass on matters more than what we possess.“It's not just about money moving between generations,” she said. “It's about passing along faith, values, and purpose.”And that's a legacy that truly lasts.

Over 20,000 documents related to the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the House Oversight Committee, and an unknown number more may be coming as the House of Representatives voted 427-1 on Tuesday for their release.. Donald Trump has flipflopped on whether he'd sign the bill if it passes the Senate and comes across his desk. First, he called Republicans who supported the release like Marjorie Taylor Greene and bill sponsor Thomas Massie “RINOs” - Republicans in Name Only. Then on Sunday and Monday, he signaled that he'd sign the bill if it came across his desk.Whether the full files are ever released or not, the information we already have tells us a lot about Epstein and his connections. Worth around $600 million when he died in prison in 2019, the sex offender who made his money as a financial advisor to the elite also influenced and interacted with people at the highest levels of government and business. In his emails and texts, he discussed opportunities and prospects in Ukraine, Israel, Syria, and even in Mongolia, sharing a document calling it China's Ukraine. His connections and friendships with many in the upper echelons of society point to a real ruling-class conspiracy where the wealthy overlook heinous crimes in favor of maintaining their status.Support the show
The Epstein estate claimed it was facing a liquidity problem when the victims' compensation fund requested additional payouts, arguing that although the estate's total value appeared substantial, most of the assets were tied up in hard-to-sell property, aircraft, and other non-liquid holdings. They stated that they did not have enough immediately accessible cash to fulfill compensation requests and could not provide a clear timeline for resolving the issue, which resulted in a temporary pause on new settlement offers.Victims' attorneys and officials sharply criticized the move, suggesting the liquidity explanation functioned more as a stalling tactic than a genuine financial obstacle. They pointed out that the estate continued covering operational and legal expenses during the payout freeze, raising suspicion about priorities and transparency. The announcement also came amid steep reported declines in the estate's overall valuation, prompting questions about where the money had gone and whether resources were being shielded rather than distributed to survivors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
It’s a headline three decades in the making. The executor of the O.J. Simpson estate has publicly acknowledged it owes $58 million dollars to the family of Ron Goldman, but the most the family might ever see would be between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and even that might be a long shot. The Goldman’s have to essentially “get in line” with other creditors, including the IRS, following the death of Simpson last year. This all stems from the civil case where Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, the jury awarding the families $33.5 million dollars at the time. Right now, Simpson’s estate is auctioning off Simpson’s remaining memorabilia to try and raise enough cash to pay down its debts, but turned down a very high profile offer from Kim Kardashian, who was looking to purchase a very sentimental item for her family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Airdate: 11.17.25) On today's Who Cares News, we start with the latest twist in a case that refuses to fade. O.J. Simpson's estate has finally acknowledged the decades-old wrongful-death judgment, agreeing that Fred Goldman is owed millions tied to the murder of his son Ron. It's a major step forward — not necessarily a check-in-the-mail moment — but a long-awaited nod to accountability after 31 years of legal battles. Then we pivot to Hollywood, where names are getting makeovers and nostalgia is cashing in. The Screen Actors Guild is officially rebranding its long-running awards show as The Actor Awards, leaning into its iconic statue and global reach. And from BravoCon in Vegas, the network is celebrating 20 years of Real Housewives chaos with a brand-new spinoff: The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip, uniting OGs, current stars, and the next wave of table-turners.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense with Joel Garris and Kristin Castello, listeners get a front-row seat to a lively discussion on the latest government updates, major tax changes taking effect in 2025, and the crucial steps needed to prevent costly mistakes with retirement account beneficiaries. The show kicks off with the recent end of the government shutdown, playful banter about holiday travel and food benefits, and a spotlight on the team's annual food and toy drive. Joel and Kristin then break down the most impactful tax changes for the coming year, including a new $6,000 senior deduction, temporary exemptions for tips and overtime, expanded SALT deductions, and a car loan interest write-off. Clear income limits and practical advice make these updates easy to understand, and the hosts share candid insights about who benefits most and how to maximize your savings. The episode's second half zeroes in on retirement planning, focusing on how simple beneficiary mistakes can have dramatic financial consequences. Through real-life stories and actionable solutions, Joel and Kristin guide listeners through the top pitfalls—like neglecting beneficiary forms, naming estates instead of people, skipping contingent beneficiaries, and forgetting spousal waivers on 401(k)s. They emphasize the importance of regularly reviewing forms, keeping financial information organized, and preparing loved ones for the unexpected. Listeners walk away with a checklist of practical tips: review beneficiary forms, never name your estate, list both primary and contingent heirs, complete new paperwork when transferring accounts, and keep spouses and trusts properly documented. The hosts round out the episode with heartfelt marital and financial advice—reminding couples to share knowledge, stay organized, and plan ahead for peace of mind.

After Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a lawsuit against his estate claiming that she was owed reimbursement for legal fees, security costs, and personal protection expenses she allegedly incurred as a result of her long association with him. Filed in the Virgin Islands, the suit portrayed Maxwell as a scapegoat left to fend for herself financially and legally after Epstein's demise, asserting that he had promised to cover her defense and related expenses stemming from their partnership. Her attorneys argued that Epstein had verbally guaranteed her financial protection for the “years of work” she performed for him and that his estate was unjustly withholding funds that would allow her to defend herself amid mounting criminal investigations.The move sparked widespread outrage and disbelief, as it came while Epstein's victims were still fighting for restitution through the same estate. Maxwell's claim — reportedly for millions of dollars — positioned her in direct competition with survivors seeking compensation for the abuse she was accused of facilitating. Critics viewed the lawsuit as a calculated attempt to secure money before the estate was depleted by victim settlements. The estate's executors disputed her claims and sought to dismiss the suit, but the filing underscored Maxwell's audacity and self-preservation instincts, reinforcing public perception that even in Epstein's absence, those in his inner circle remained focused on protecting their wealth, not reckoning with the devastation they helped cause.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
