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.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Charles Schwab Fidelity Vanguard EPIC - Equifax Data Breach    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

fWotD Episode 3309: Nation of Islam Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 27 May 2026, is Nation of Islam.The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930. A centralized and hierarchical group committed to black nationalism, it focuses attention on the black African diaspora, especially on African Americans. While describing itself as Islamic and using Islamic terminology, some argue its religious tenets differ substantially from orthodox Islamic traditions, in both Black America and the Old World. Scholars of religion characterize it as a new religious movement.The Nation teaches that there has been a succession of mortal gods, each a black man named Allah, of whom Fard Muhammad was the latest. It claims that the first Allah created the earliest humans, the dark-skinned Original Asiatic Race, whose members possessed inner divinity and from whom all people of color descend. It maintains that a scientist named Yakub then created the white race, a group that lacked inner divinity and whose intrinsic violence led them to overthrow the Original Asiatic Race and achieve global dominance. Setting itself against the white-dominated society of the United States, the NOI campaigns for the creation of an independent African American nation-state and calls for African Americans to be economically self-sufficient and separatist. A millenarian tradition, it maintains that Fard Muhammad will soon return aboard a spaceship to wipe out the white-dominated order and establish a utopia. Members worship in buildings, varyingly called temples or mosques. Practitioners are expected to live disciplined lives, adhering to strict dress codes, specific dietary requirements, and patriarchal gender roles.Wallace Fard Muhammad established the Nation of Islam in Detroit. He drew on various sources, especially Noble Drew Ali's Moorish Science Temple of America and black nationalist trends like Garveyism. After Fard Muhammad disappeared in 1934, the leadership of the NOI was assumed by Elijah Muhammad, who expanded the NOI's teachings, declared Fard Muhammad to have been the latest Allah, and built the group's business empire. Attracting growing attention in the late 1950s and 1960s, the NOI's influence expanded through high-profile members such as the black nationalist activist Malcolm X and the boxer Muhammad Ali. Deeming it a threat to domestic security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked to undermine the group. Following Elijah Muhammad's death in 1975, his son Wallace D. Muhammad took over the organization, moving it towards Sunni Islam and renaming it the World Community of Islam in the West. Members seeking to retain Elijah Muhammad's teachings re-established the Nation of Islam under Louis Farrakhan's leadership in 1977. Farrakhan expanded the NOI's economic and agricultural operations and continued to develop its beliefs, for instance by drawing connections with Dianetics.Based in the United States, the Nation of Islam has also established a presence abroad, with membership open only to people of color. In 2007 it was estimated to have 50,000 members. The Nation has also influenced the formation of other groups like the Five-Percent Nation, United Nation of Islam, and Nuwaubian Nation. Muslim critics accuse the NOI of promoting teachings that are not authentically Islamic. Other critics, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, have characterized it as a hate group that promotes racism against white people, antisemitism, and anti-LGBT rhetoric.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Wednesday, 27 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Nation of Islam on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

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.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

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

Federal Bureau of Investigation encountered multiple points over the years where information about Jeffrey Epstein could have supported earlier, more aggressive action, but those moments repeatedly failed to translate into an immediate federal arrest. Early complaints, victim accounts, and intelligence passed between agencies created openings for intervention, yet investigations often slowed, were handed off, or were narrowed in scope. Even when local authorities in Florida built a substantial case in the mid-2000s, the federal track did not culminate in swift charges, instead giving way to prolonged negotiations that ultimately resulted in a controversial non-prosecution agreement rather than a full federal indictment at that time.Specific anecdotes—like reports that Epstein's name surfaced in connection with a beauty pageant setting or other social environments where young women were present—have been cited by critics as examples of missed chances to intervene earlier. While the details of such claims vary and are not always conclusively substantiated in official records, they reinforce a broader pattern: repeated opportunities where scrutiny increased but decisive federal action did not immediately follow. The end result was a perception that Epstein benefited from delay, deference, or prosecutorial hesitation, allowing him to continue operating for years before eventually facing federal charges in 2019.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Getting Margins Right: The Essential Mix of Recurring, Product, and Professional Services for MSPs

The episode centers on profit margins and service mix strategies for MSPs, emphasizing the importance of maintaining recurring revenue margins above 50%, preferably targeting 65–70% for long-term sustainability. Industry averages indicate recurring revenue margins as low as 35%, which Speaker B and Speaker C note presents a risk to driving profit down to the bottom line. The discussion identifies that margins tend to erode with organizational growth due to overhead but underscores the necessity of regular price adjustments built into client contracts and regular scrutiny of margin performance as core practices to avoid financial shortfalls. Supporting these observations, Speaker C advises MSPs to gradually move from lower margin brackets to achieve at least 50% in recurring services, acknowledging this transition typically requires sustained effort over several years. For professional services, a margin range of 40–60% is considered attainable, with 50% as the practical target. Regarding income mix, respondents suggest 70% of revenue should derive from recurring services and the remaining 30% from professional or project-based work. Both speakers highlight that smaller MSPs may achieve higher margins, while competitive pressure and organizational complexity often erode these numbers. Adjacent discussions address operational and security challenges. The show covers recent FBI public service announcements warning of increased cyber threats originating from Russian and Iranian actors, specifically targeting government, political, and journalist entities. Speaker C and Speaker B recommend that MSPs communicate only the most relevant advisories to clients to avoid information overload, framing updates as evidence of service diligence rather than sources of alarm. In addition, Microsoft's new AI security dashboard in Microsoft 365 is reviewed, which uses Defender sensors already present in Windows 11 devices to provide visibility into AI activity and configuration security at no extra cost, provided suitable licensing for Defender is in place. The operational implications for MSPs include the need for rigor in pricing models, clear partnership agreements, and transparent communications with clients about both technology changes and external threats. The recurring emphasis on risk management, margin preservation, and responsible client engagement reflects a harm-reduction mindset. Regular contract reviews, maintaining consultative relationships, and avoiding over-communication of security issues are presented as accountability measures that support stability and trust in MSP operations.Question of the week: What margins should I be targeting?

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

After Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, several inmates and former inmates voiced serious doubts about the official narrative of suicide. One inmate who had previously been housed in the exact cell claimed that the architectural layout made a hanging suicide physically improbable—he cited lack of ceiling fixtures, low bunks, and other structural barriers. Others pointed to the absence of a cellmate, malfunctioning cameras, and alleged lapses in guard monitoring as factors that undermined the “alone in the cell” story.These inmate observations fuel persistent skepticism and speculation around Epstein's death. Their accounts intertwine with documented failures by prison staff—such as broken cameras and falsified check logs—and with broader concerns that the system allowed, or even facilitated, a scenario where a high-profile detainee died under murky circumstances. Together, these statements from inside the prison ecosystem continue to drive debate over whether the official determination of suicide reflects the full reality of what happened that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. Recent tragedies highlight the ongoing danger, including the deaths of Jeremy Hall in 2025 and Dustin Pedigo in 2026. “The public rarely sees the danger correctional officers face every day,” Sorensen said. “But the risks are real.” Changes in Federal Prison Policies Incidents like the murder of Eric Williams have forced federal prisons to reexamine policies designed to protect staff. According to Sorensen, the tragedy sparked discussions about: Officer safety procedures Contraband control inside prisons Tactical response training Equipment and protective tools for staff “You can't eliminate the danger completely,” Sorensen said. “But you can improve training, procedures, and awareness to better protect officers.” Robert Sorensen's Career in Federal Law Enforcement Sorensen spent decades in federal law enforcement before retiring from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

After the crimes of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar came to light, dozens of survivors filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation, arguing that the bureau's failures allowed the abuse to continue for far longer than it should have. The lawsuits centered on the FBI's handling of the initial complaints brought forward by Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and other athletes in 2015. According to later findings by the Department of Justice Inspector General, agents received credible allegations against Nassar but failed to act quickly, did not properly document interviews, and allowed months to pass without notifying state authorities who could have intervened. During that delay, Nassar continued abusing young gymnasts. Survivors argued that the FBI's negligence and failure to follow basic investigative procedures enabled additional assaults that could have been prevented. The cases ultimately resulted in a substantial settlement from the federal government, acknowledging the role that investigative failures played in prolonging the abuse.That legal outcome has been viewed by many observers as a potential roadmap for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein seeking accountability beyond the trafficker himself. Epstein's crimes also unfolded over many years despite repeated warnings to authorities, and critics have long argued that federal investigators and prosecutors missed opportunities to intervene earlier. The Nassar litigation demonstrated that victims can pursue claims against the government when investigative failures allow abuse to continue after authorities were put on notice. For Epstein survivors, that framework raises the possibility of similar legal arguments—particularly surrounding law enforcement's handling of earlier complaints, the controversial non-prosecution agreement in Florida, and other moments when authorities were aware of allegations but failed to stop the exploitation. While the circumstances differ, the Nassar cases showed that institutional failures by investigators can carry legal consequences, creating a model that Epstein survivors and their attorneys may look to as they pursue broader accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On this episode, Lisa Boothe speaks with FOX News Contributor & former FBI Agent, Nicole Parker about rising security concerns in the United States as tensions escalate with Iran and instability grows in the Middle East. Parker breaks down the suspected terrorist attack in Austin, Texas, explaining why “lone offender” attacks are among the most difficult threats for law enforcement to detect and stop. She also explains how individuals can be radicalized online, why soft targets like bars, concerts, and sporting events are often chosen, and what Americans should do in an active shooter situation using the FBI’s “Run, Hide, Fight” guidance. The conversation also dives into national security concerns tied to immigration and border policy, including reports of individuals on terror watch lists entering the United States. Parker discusses the challenges facing the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security, and how joint terrorism task forces work with local law enforcement to stop threats before they happen. Finally, Parker warns that future attacks may not resemble September 11 attacks, emphasizing that cyber attacks on critical infrastructure—such as power grids, water systems, or emergency services—may pose an even greater risk. Topics covered include: The suspected terror attack in Austin and the rise of lone offender violence Radicalization and recruitment through social media and online networks Concerns over sleeper cells and unvetted border crossings Why cyber warfare may be the next major battlefield How the FBI and local police work together to stop attacks before they happen Parker also shares her perspective on reforms inside the FBI and the renewed focus on national security threats as the U.S. navigates an increasingly volatile global environment.
