It began on a summer night in 2011, when someone in the vehicle noticed three odd lights overhead. Curious, one of the occupants stepped out of the vehicle and looked up. Now, according to a witness interview released years later by the U.S. Department of War, what appeared above them was not simply three lights, but a massive, dark, triangular object moving silently across the night sky. This case, and several others involving mysterious triangle UAPs in our skies, are among those included in the Pentagon's fifth tranche of UAP files released under its PURSUE initiative. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the latest U.S. government UAP cases revealed with the recent publication of PURSUE Release 05, and how one very unusual and increasingly prominent class of unidentified flying objects—massive black triangle UAP—have become a central focus for investigations by the Pentagon's AARO and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Babajide Adesayo, a 41-year-old man from Douglasville, Georgia, was convicted by a federal jury on August 6, 2026, for laundering over $2.7 million stolen from elderly victims through romance and online fraud schemes. He was found guilty of 18 federal counts, including conspiracy and transactional money laundering.“Adesayo was a key member of a complex, transnational network that preyed upon elderly victims and siphoned their retirement savings overseas, mainly to China, Hong Kong, and Nigeria, to make recovery impossible,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “As a prolific money launderer, Adesayo facilitated the theft of nearly $3 million from victims and continued even after he was indicted, arrested, and released on bond. Now behind bars awaiting a significant sentence, this incorrigible swindler will face the full consequences of his actions.” “Adesayo helped steal millions from vulnerable victims, including elderly people who lost their hard-earned savings. He then moved that money overseas to hide it from those he had defrauded. Even after his indictment, he continued laundering stolen funds,” said Marlo Graham, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Today's conviction sends a clear message: the FBI will relentlessly pursue those who prey on vulnerable victims and profit from fraud.”“Adesayo's conviction demonstrates that those who help transnational fraud networks move stolen money will be held accountable,” said Steven N. Schrank, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Georgia and Alabama. “This case involved vulnerable victims, including seniors, who were deceived out of their life savings through online fraud schemes. HSI, alongside our federal, state, and local partners, will continue to target the financial facilitators who enable these crimes and attempt to move illicit proceeds beyond the reach of law enforcement.”According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: Between April 2020 and September 2021, fraudsters engaged unwitting, elderly victims online and corresponded with them as friends, business associates, or even romantic partners. After developing relationships with the victims, the online fraudsters made pleas to the victims for help, falsely claiming that they needed equipment for their businesses, were imprisoned, or were suffering from injuries or illnesses. The fraudsters directed most victims to send hundreds of thousands of dollars, including the victims' retirement savings and other hard-earned income, to the business accounts of Adesayo's co-defendant, Nigerian national Efemena Igbe. As soon as Igbe received funds from the victims, he immediately sent most of the money to Adesayo and tried to hide the fraudulent transactions by falsely notating that the money was intended for the purchase of cars from Adesayo's automotive business. When Adesayo received the money, he immediately sent most of it to overseas accounts in China, Hong Kong, Nigeria, and other countries. Over a period of 17 months, Adesayo received and moved over $2.7 million in victim funds.Following his arrest in June 2024, Adesayo was released on bond without the necessity of paying bail. While under indictment and awaiting trial, he continued to engage in money laundering activities. Victims transferred funds either directly to Adesayo's business accounts or to accounts belonging to others, who then forwarded the funds to him.Adesayo promptly withdrew these funds, transferring them to his own accounts or to other accounts shortly after receipt. Upon the discovery of this new criminal activity, a federal magistrate judge revoked Adesayo's bond. Since March 2, 2026, he has been in federal custody.On August 6, 2026, a federal jury found Babajide Adesayo, 41, from Douglasville, Georgia, guilty on all charges, which included two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering and sixteen counts of transactional money laundering.Sentencing is set for November 20, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., before United States District Judge Mark H. Cohen. Adesayo faces a maximum of 20 years of imprisonment for each conspiracy count, up to 10 years for each transactional money laundering count, and an additional consecutive sentence of up to 10 years for committing offenses while on release. In determining the final sentence, the Court will take into account the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which, while not mandatory, offer recommended sentencing ranges for most offenders.The investigation into this case is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, with significant assistance from the U.S. Secret Service, the Concord (New Hampshire) Police Department, the DeSoto County (Mississippi) Sheriff's Office, and the New York City Police Department.The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Bethany L. Rupert, Sara Lim, and Kelly Connors.The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia is a member of the Department of Justice's Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force.This Strike Force is dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in foreign-based fraud schemes that primarily target American senior citizens. Such schemes encompass romance scams, telephone scams, mass-mailing fraud operations, and tech-support fraud schemes.

On Thursday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an alert about potential cyber threats to water systems after approximately 36 sites in Minnesota reported cyberattacks. Then, on Saturday, Michigan reported cyberattacks on nine water systems; both states say their water supplies are not actively threatened. Separately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that attacks have been reported in at least seven states. Federal authorities are investigating the source of the threat, which U.S. investigators believe bears the hallmarks of cyberterrorist groups linked to Iran.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!Following up on wildfires.Two weeks ago, Managing Editor Ari Weitzman wrote a take on the Canadian wildfires, arguing that climate change was the lead driver of the increased fires but that Canada could still do more to mitigate them.

Send us Fan MailA 23-year-old intern lands her dream job in Washington, DC, builds a steady routine near Dupont Circle, and then disappears so completely that her open laptop becomes one of the last witnesses. Chandra Levy's case isn't just a true crime mystery, it's a collision between ambition and secrecy, where a young woman's private choices become a public storm.We walk through Chandra's early life in Modesto, California, her determination to break out of a small-town script, and the careful career steps that take her to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Capitol Hill. From gym visits and networking “field trips” to the pressure of making it in a competitive city, her timeline feels grounded and relatable, right up until the silence begins.Then the story tightens around the rumor Washington couldn't stop repeating: a hidden relationship with Congressman Gary Condit. We unpack the rules of that secrecy, what friends and colleagues notice as her world narrows, and how a sudden job termination throws her plans into chaos. Finally, we follow the last known trail, including phone calls, messages, and the May 1, 2001 online searches that end with Rock Creek Park.If you care about missing person cases, political scandal, and the details that change how you read a timeline, listen now.

On this day, 20 July 1979, Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier escaped from Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution, in California, with two other detainees, one of whom, Bobby Gene Garcia, was shot to death by a guard. Peltier, a leading member of the American Indian Movement, had been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for the deaths of two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents. He had been warned by fellow Native American prisoner Standing Deer (a.k.a. Robert Wilson) that there was contract on his life in the prison.Peltier's original trial was riddled with inconsistencies and distortions. For example, an FBI ballistics expert claimed during the trial that a shell case found near the bodies matched Peltier's rifle, but his report stating that the cartridge did not match was withheld from the jury. And three witnesses who placed Peltier near the scene of the crime later recanted, stating that the FBI had tied them to chairs and coerced their testimony. The legal misconduct was so severe that Peltier has received support from individuals and groups as diverse as Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the European Parliament, and the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights. Peltier was recaptured three days later. Peltier eventually had his sentence commuted by President Joe Biden in 2025, and was released from prison to house arrest.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9281/leonard-peltier-escapes-custodyOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Jen Psaki talks with Michael Feinberg, former assistant special agent in charge with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Ken Dilanian, MS NOW justice and intelligence correspondent, and her fellow MS NOW host Chris Hayes about the facts and context behind Donald Trump's criticisms of U.S. election security. David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter, talks with Jen Psaki about the former federal officials he is in contact with who recognize many of the documents Donald Trump is releasing, and are critical of Trump for excluding information and context that doesn't fit the narrative he is trying to construct about flaws in the U.S. election system. Senator Raphael Warnock calls Donald Trump a "desperate man" and a "failed president," and points out that while Trump puts on a performance to undermine confidence in the U.S. election system, Americans are struggling with the challenges of life in his economy. Warnock says he knows there are Republicans who realize Donald Trump isn't telling the truth, and calls on them to see past partisanship and speak out against Trump in the name of patriotism.

The recent Epstein files dump has finally produced documentary confirmation of what Maria Farmer has said for decades: in 1996, she formally warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Jeffrey Epstein, and those warnings were effectively ignored. For years, the FBI refused to confirm or deny Farmer's account, while she was publicly portrayed as unreliable or exaggerating. The newly released records show that federal authorities were aware of Epstein's conduct far earlier than they ever admitted. This reframes the Epstein story away from bureaucratic incompetence and toward deliberate institutional inaction. The documents establish that Farmer was not speculating or theorizing—she was reporting crimes in real time. Instead of being treated as a key witness, she was sidelined. The result was years of unchecked abuse that could have been interrupted. The files now make clear that the FBI knew exactly who Epstein was long before his eventual prosecution.The unanswered question is why those warnings were ignored, and the files intensify—not resolve—that mystery. One plausible explanation, long suggested by Farmer and others, is that Epstein's status as a potential or actual confidential informant made him untouchable. That possibility would explain the extraordinary resistance to releasing Farmer's records and the institutional hostility she encountered. One thing is for certain and is now backed by documentation: she told the truth as she understood it, and the authorities failed to act. The FBI's silence and obstruction allowed Epstein to continue operating with impunity. History has now caught up to Farmer's account. What remains is a moral reckoning for the institutions that ignored her—and an overdue acknowledgment that she was right from the beginning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00006107.pdf
In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan venture with his family to see all the happenings and interview researchers at the 2026 UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. With “Disclosure” on the lips of American politicians, and the overwhelming reminiscence of psyops passed, are the current happenings actually a cracking of the UFO secrecy facade, or are we just repeating the game played so seventy nine years ago after the fateful announcement of the crash of an unknown flying object in the outskirts of Roswell, New Mexico? Our first guest is Dennis Balthaser, Roswell resident and former tour guide in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss the deep connection of the Roswell community to the occurrence of the Roswell crash, as well as the multi-decade effort to keep investigations into the crash site going. How did we get from a cooperative Federal Bureau of Land Management, who allowed archaeological excavations of the original crash site, to a rancher who was able to purchase ALL of the property surrounding the famed original crash site…who now fully restricts access? Next, we welcome Marc D'Antonio, Chief Photo and Video Analyst for MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. We discuss how an experience of lost time as a young man, led him an interest in astronomy and what may be in the night sky. We also get into the possible ways UFOs may travel through various media, as well as what is to be made of the now infamous 3iAtlas comet. Our next guest is petroglyph researcher and author of The Humaniverse series, Keith Seland. We talak about his recent research trip to Chaco Canyon, and the locations connection to various Native American cultures in North America. From Petroglyphs to buildings that may mirror constellations of the night sky, what significance did this mysterious location hold for Native American tribes, and messages may it still hold for us today? In this segment we welcome Maria Tellier, head of MUFON New Mexico in Alamo Gordo. We discuss her presentation she gave at the international UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We also get into what makes a good field investigator as well as the current tranches of UFO files being released by the United States government. Next, we welcome geologist and Roswell crash site researcher Frank Kimbler. We discuss the many years of searching the famed crash site and various pieces of debris he has collected over the years. What chemical makeup do these fragments have? Can we create these materials on Earth, and what does it take to declare a piece of material as scientifically “Extraterrestrial”? Up next we sit down with longtime Roswell researcher and author Kevin Randle to talk about his many years of study about the disinformation campaign regarding the Roswell crash and why the US Government still side-steps the questions regarding this now infamous event. Why are there no files regarding Roswell in the US War Department UFO File releases and how can we finally bring the light of truth and closure to the longest running UFO Case in American history? Our next guest is researcher, author and experiencer Kathleen Marden. We discuss her deep research into the many years of misinformation, disinformation and defamatory actions toward witnesses and experiencers alike by the United States Government. From changing the Project Blue Book Report, sanitizing the Betty and Barney Hill case and more, to the continued discreditation of researchers and witnesses to silence investigation into the topic. Why has the US Government spent the better part of 60 years simultaneously carrying out a campaign to both say they are not involved with UFOs while making concerted efforts in the media and to hide what they do know?! Next, we are joined by Thom Reed, experiencer and host of The Know. We get into the “reed Family Incident” which was entered into Massachusetts State record officially as an “off world event” and even recognized by the UN. But what happens when a family incident with a UFO becomes a documentary story and the facts become changed? What happens when tv production companies begin to alter stories, add witnesses who were not there, as well as even change the name of the experience itself leading to public misunderstandings and misrepresentation of the true events? These altered facts now become the paradigm of truth know to the viewers who do not know the true history of the event, setting up a dangerous way to carry UFO history into the future! Our final guest is Donald Raymond Schmitt, lead researcher for Rosell International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss the many years of government obfuscation and dilution of facts about the Rosswell crash of 1947. How this event set forth a blueprint by which UFO coverup and black budget projects would continue as a way to hide possible alien technologies that have crashed to Earth. We also discuss the ongoing efforts of declassification and releases of UFO files to the public and how the timing of these files may bely the fact that the US Government is still unwilling to release all they have and will continue their ongoing campaigns of lies, back room deals with military contractors, and hiding the greater truth of UFOs from humanity.

Next, we welcome Marc D'Antonio, Chief Photo and Video Analyst for MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. We discuss how an experience of lost time as a young man, led him an interest in astronomy and what may be in the night sky. We also get into the possible ways UFOs may travel through various media, as well as what is to be made of the now infamous 3iAtlas comet. Our next guest is petroglyph researcher and author of The Humaniverse series, Keith Seland. We talak about his recent research trip to Chaco Canyon, and the locations connection to various Native American cultures in North America. From Petroglyphs to buildings that may mirror constellations of the night sky, what significance did this mysterious location hold for Native American tribes, and messages may it still hold for us today? In this segment we welcome Maria Tellier, head of MUFON New Mexico in Alamo Gordo. We discuss her presentation she gave at the international UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We also get into what makes a good field investigator as well as the current tranches of UFO files being released by the United States government. Next, we welcome geologist and Roswell crash site researcher Frank Kimbler. We discuss the many years of searching the famed crash site and various pieces of debris he has collected over the years. What chemical makeup do these fragments have? Can we create these materials on Earth, and what does it take to declare a piece of material as scientifically “Extraterrestrial”? Up next we sit down with longtime Roswell researcher and author Kevin Randle to talk about his many years of study about the disinformation campaign regarding the Roswell crash and why the US Government still side-steps the questions regarding this now infamous event. Why are there no files regarding Roswell in the US War Department UFO File releases and how can we finally bring the light of truth and closure to the longest running UFO Case in American history? Our next guest is researcher, author and experiencer Kathleen Marden. We discuss her deep research into the many years of misinformation, disinformation and defamatory actions toward witnesses and experiencers alike by the United States Government. From changing the Project Blue Book Report, sanitizing the Betty and Barney Hill case and more, to the continued discreditation of researchers and witnesses to silence investigation into the topic. Why has the US Government spent the better part of 60 years simultaneously carrying out a campaign to both say they are not involved with UFOs while making concerted efforts in the media and to hide what they do know?! Next, we are joined by Thom Reed, experiencer and host of The Know. We get into the “reed Family Incident” which was entered into Massachusetts State record officially as an “off world event” and even recognized by the UN. But what happens when a family incident with a UFO becomes a documentary story and the facts become changed? What happens when tv production companies begin to alter stories, add witnesses who were not there, as well as even change the name of the experience itself leading to public misunderstandings and misrepresentation of the true events? These altered facts now become the paradigm of truth know to the viewers who do not know the true history of the event, setting up a dangerous way to carry UFO history into the future! Our final guest is Donald Raymond Schmitt, lead researcher for Rosell International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss the many years of government obfuscation and dilution of facts about the Rosswell crash of 1947. How this event set forth a blueprint by which UFO coverup and black budget projects would continue as a way to hide possible alien technologies that have crashed to Earth. We also discuss the ongoing efforts of declassification and releases of UFO files to the public and how the timing of these files may bely the fact that the US Government is still unwilling to release all they have and will continue their ongoing campaigns of lies, back room deals with military contractors, and hiding the greater truth of UFOs from humanity.

The recent Epstein files dump has finally produced documentary confirmation of what Maria Farmer has said for decades: in 1996, she formally warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Jeffrey Epstein, and those warnings were effectively ignored. For years, the FBI refused to confirm or deny Farmer's account, while she was publicly portrayed as unreliable or exaggerating. The newly released records show that federal authorities were aware of Epstein's conduct far earlier than they ever admitted. This reframes the Epstein story away from bureaucratic incompetence and toward deliberate institutional inaction. The documents establish that Farmer was not speculating or theorizing—she was reporting crimes in real time. Instead of being treated as a key witness, she was sidelined. The result was years of unchecked abuse that could have been interrupted. The files now make clear that the FBI knew exactly who Epstein was long before his eventual prosecution.The unanswered question is why those warnings were ignored, and the files intensify—not resolve—that mystery. One plausible explanation, long suggested by Farmer and others, is that Epstein's status as a potential or actual confidential informant made him untouchable. That possibility would explain the extraordinary resistance to releasing Farmer's records and the institutional hostility she encountered. One thing is for certain and is now backed by documentation: she told the truth as she understood it, and the authorities failed to act. The FBI's silence and obstruction allowed Epstein to continue operating with impunity. History has now caught up to Farmer's account. What remains is a moral reckoning for the institutions that ignored her—and an overdue acknowledgment that she was right from the beginning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00006107.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

BadVolf: The true story of an American cop's retaliation against a corrupt system of justice and politics, forcing him to seek political asylum in RussiaThis true story is about John Mark Dougan, a Marine Corps veteran and former police officer who had enough of the violence and crime plaguing the Criminal Justice system. He blew the whistle and was retaliated against by the police administration. Dougan started setting up whistleblower websites all around the country for good cops to spill their secrets without fear or retribution. The justice system launched illegal investigation after investigation into every aspect of John's life, and John set up a clever operation to trick them into admitting they were illegally accessing his email and social media accounts. When the FBI ignored John's demands for an investigation, he became BadVolf, starting a digital war with the very law enforcement agencies who were retaliating against him. John tricked everyone, including the media, into believing he was a Russian hacker before engaging in a strategic, one-man campaign of disinformation, fake news, hacking, social engineering and doxing. John did all the activities that people love to blame on Russia, except he did it as an American citizen, on American soil; retribution and deception the only way to fight back against criminals in charge of local, state and federal American law enforcement agencies. After an eight-year-long battle, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Dougan's home, ordering surveillance teams to follow and attempt to capture him at any cost. Dougan however, had other plans; he donned a disguise and slipped away into exile using the skills acquired in the Marine Corps, police agencies and from working with technology. This is the story of how BadVolf was created, and the resulting two-week long escape from these badge-toting criminals is a riveting story that led John to obtain political asylum in Russia.https://amzn.to/4eY1ZjJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Watch the best scene reading: https://youtu.be/DO6c1RbZ9zwDuring the Great Depression, a troubled New Orleans beat cop gets a shot at redemption when he becomes the first Black federal agent in the Bureau of Narcotics—only to discover that the price of his status comes at the cost of persecuting his own community. What is your screenplay about?Reefer Madness is a one-hour historical crime drama set in 1933 New Orleans. It follows Gary O'Neill, a troubled but ambitious Black federal narcotics agent, as he becomes one of the first Black agents in the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and is pulled into undercover work inside the city's jazz clubs, dockside networks, and marijuana underworld.At the same time, Commissioner Harry Anslinger begins transforming marijuana into a national panic, using propaganda, racism, and political fear to build the foundation of what would become the War on Drugs. Tonally, we often describe the series as Boardwalk Empire meets Sinners, with the grounded political-crime engine of Narcos: Mexico: a seductive period underworld, a Black music-driven cultural pulse, and a federal propaganda machine colliding in the making of America's drug war.At its core, the story is about what happens when a man's biggest opportunity forces him to help enforce laws that harm his own community. What genres does your screenplay fall under?Historical crime drama and political thriller. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie/tv series?This story should be made because the history behind marijuana prohibition is still shaping lives today. Cannabis is now legal and profitable in many places, yet many people, especially Black and racialized communities, are still living with the consequences of the laws, convictions, stigma, and policing that came before legalization.That contradiction is at the heart of Reefer Madness: the distance between who profits from the plant now and who paid the price for it then. While developing the project, we travelled to New Orleans and saw advertisements for legal weed in a city deeply tied to jazz, race, policing, and survival, knowing that people are still imprisoned for cannabis-related offences.As a series, Reefer Madness offers a rich and entertaining world of jazz, crime, politics, undercover work, family fracture, and moral compromise, while opening a necessary conversation about propaganda, racism, policing, and historical accountability.——Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpodhttps://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpodhttps://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod ——Love for for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP.• Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

On Tuesday, June 2, truth, accountability, and the future of American democracy took center stage in BigTentUSA's conversation with Andrew Weissmann –"MS NOW" legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor. Moderated by Reed Galen of The Union, Weissmann discussed themes from his new book "Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America", arguing that the growing normalization of political lies poses a serious threat to democratic institutions. He highlighted a key contradiction in American law: while lies in business, courtrooms, and congressional testimony can carry legal consequences, political lies often do not.Weissmann emphasized that restoring trust requires more than defending old norms. He called for stronger legal safeguards, reforms to prevent the weaponization of government power, and greater transparency from institutions such as the Department of Justice. He also argued that future leaders must be willing to confront past abuses rather than simply “look forward,” warning that accountability is essential to preserving the rule of law.The conversation ended with a clear challenge: democracy is not self-executing, and protecting it requires public engagement, institutional reform, and a refusal to accept corruption or dishonesty as normal.Learn more about Andrew's new book “Liar's Kingdom”:https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andrew-weissmann/liars-kingdom/9780316601306/ Check out Andrew's Substack newsletter “Behind the Headlines” and listen to his podcast “Main Justice”: https://weissmann.substack.com/https://www.ms.now/main-justiceLearn more about Reed's projects The Union, The Lincoln Project, and his latest Civic Forum here:https://www.jointheunion.us/https://lincolnproject.us/https://www.civicforum.org/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Andrew Weissmann is an NYU Law School professor and widely respected legal analyst on "MS NOW".

This week, we tackle the alarming rise in financial scams targeting retirees and their hard-earned savings. With insights straight from the FBI and real-world examples of scam attempts, I break down the key tactics used by fraudsters and reveal the subtle ways they can gain access to your retirement accounts. From sophisticated account takeovers to fake invoice emails, you'll learn the warning signs to watch for—and, most importantly, practical strategies to protect yourself and your financial future. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] How financial scams work and what listeners can do to protect themselves [03:27] Recognizing scam tactics and risks [09:38] Recognizing fake invoice scams [10:36] Email scams and malware threats [16:30] Adding verbal passwords for security [17:28] Avoiding financial scams Why Retirees Are in Scammers' Crosshairs Retirees often represent an attractive target to scammers, thanks to years of diligent saving and sometimes less familiarity with new scam techniques. With the Federal Bureau of Investigation noting a surge in financial fraud, understanding the mechanics of modern scams is essential. Scammers rely on a proven formula: Use of a trusted-looking sender Creation of a sense of urgency Sufficient believable details to seem legitimate When you recognize these methods, retirees and their families can more easily spot fraud attempts and prevent the devastating loss of hard-earned assets. Four Scams Every Retiree Needs to Know 1. The Account Takeover Arguably, the most damaging scam involves fraudsters masquerading as your bank or investment firm. It starts innocuously: a text asks if you authorized a transaction. Replying prompts a phone call from a supposed representative. Thanks to massive data breaches, these scammers may already know your personal details — they just need one missing piece. They'll convince you to read out a "security code" sent by your institution. Handing over this code gives the scammer direct account access, allowing them to transfer funds instantly. Importantly, because you authorized the transaction, financial institutions like Charles Schwab often won't reimburse the loss. 2. The Debt Collector Text Message Here, you get a text from a "debt collector" referencing a fictitious account, amount, or government agency. Designed to provoke fear and haste, these messages trick recipients into calling the number provided or clicking a link — both of which compromise your security or lead to unauthorized payments. 3. The Unpaid Toll Notification You receive an alert for a small, believable toll charge. With such a trivial amount, many people click the link and pay without thinking, handing over payment info to scammers who make larger, unauthorized withdrawals. 4. The Fake Invoice Email Sophisticated emails may claim to be from reputable companies like Microsoft, complete with realistic logos and urgent language about an outstanding invoice. The danger here is twofold: opening the attachment can load malware or ransomware onto your device, or responding to the invoice sends money straight to a crook. Always verify the sender before clicking links or attachments. Great Habits for Scam Prevention This is my seven-point toolkit to keep you one step ahead of scammers. Practice these habits consistently to stay safe: Slow Down: Scammers exploit urgency. Pause, breathe, and verify requests. Don't Answer Unknown Numbers: Let unfamiliar calls go to voicemail, especially those spoofing local area codes. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links: Always visit official websites or use verified contact numbers when responding to alerts or billing issues. Guard Your Personal Information: Never share sensitive info like PINs, passwords, or codes unless you started the interaction. Use Authenticator Apps: These offer extra security beyond SMS-based codes, which can be intercepted. Add Verbal Passwords to Accounts: Financial institutions often allow this as an additional security measure. Assume It's a Scam: When in doubt, err on the side of caution and reach out to institutions through official channels. Diligence is Your Best Defense Scams will continue to evolve, but the best protection comes from vigilance and skepticism. Always vet instructions that involve your money, pause before acting, and confirm legitimacy through direct contact. Your savings represent a lifetime of work; protect them fiercely so they'll serve you for years to come.

Michael Thomas was a veteran correctional officer employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan — a federal detention facility — where Jeffrey Epstein was being held in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Thomas had been with the Bureau of Prisons since about 2007 and, on the night of Epstein's death (August 9–10, 2019), was assigned to an overnight shift alongside another officer, Tova Noel, responsible for conducting required 30-minute inmate checks and institutional counts in the SHU. Because Epstein's cellmate had been moved and not replaced, Epstein was alone in his cell, making regular monitoring all the more crucial under bureau policy.Thomas became a focal figure in the official investigations into Epstein's death because surveillance footage and institutional records showed that neither he nor Noel conducted the required rounds or counts through the night before Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell early on August 10. Prosecutors subsequently charged both officers with conspiracy and falsifying records for signing count slips that falsely indicated they had completed rounds they had not performed. Thomas and Noel later entered deferred prosecution agreements in which they admitted falsifying records and avoided prison time, instead receiving supervisory release and community service. Investigators concluded that chronic staffing shortages and procedural failures at the jail contributed to the circumstances that allowed Epstein to remain unmonitored for hours before his death, which was officially ruled a suicide by hanging.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00113577.pdf

Thomas had been with the Bureau of Prisons since about 2007 and, on the night of Epstein's death (August 9–10, 2019), was assigned to an overnight shift alongside another officer, Tova Noel, responsible for conducting required 30-minute inmate checks and institutional counts in the SHU. Because Epstein's cellmate had been moved and not replaced, Epstein was alone in his cell, making regular monitoring all the more crucial under bureau policy.Thomas became a focal figure in the official investigations into Epstein's death because surveillance footage and institutional records showed that neither he nor Noel conducted the required rounds or counts through the night before Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell early on August 10. Prosecutors subsequently charged both officers with conspiracy and falsifying records for signing count slips that falsely indicated they had completed rounds they had not performed. Thomas and Noel later entered deferred prosecution agreements in which they admitted falsifying records and avoided prison time, instead receiving supervisory release and community service.

The film stars Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage. Set in the 1990s, the story follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent assigned to hunt down an occult-obsessed serial killer responsible for a string of family murders across Oregon.
