In this video, we're talking about how Logan Paul's previous dismissal of the CryptoZoo class action case actually ended up strengthening the investors' fraud case against him. CONTEXT: After Coffeezilla exposed Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapse of FTX, he turned his sights on Logan Paul's crypto NFT project, Cryptozoo. See his videos here: Investigating Logan Paul's Biggest Crypto Scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=386p68_lDHA The Biggest Fraud in Logan Paul's Scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvzyDg40-yw Ending Logan Paul's Biggest Scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-fugWMBwCg In response, Logan Paul posted a short video to his main channel, Logan Paul, in which he threatened Coffeezilla with a defamation lawsuit. He followed this with an episode of his podcast, Impaulsive, where he repeated the same threat. He then took down both videos and reached out to Coffeezilla to inform him that he's no longer pursuing litigation--but then, on June 27, 2024, he sued him anyway. Interestingly enough, this was after Logan Paul was sued (along with a number of other defendants) by a group of CryptoZoo investors in a class action case alleging fraud and 26 other causes of action.

There's been a quiet bipartisan effort to put checks on BIPOC non-profits accused of self-dealing. Parents pack Puyallup School Board meeting. What is the teachers' union spending its dues on? Colbert lies about FCC regulations. 

We are talking fraud, and the biggest frauds are Democrats. They lie, cheat, steal, and that is a part of their DNA.When they are not stealing, they are recruiting. Thomas Massie is a recruit.I've discussed a few of them individually, and we are showing you just how much fraud exists. Look at the numbers, and ask yourself how long this could go on? It's been going on for decades.When you consider all the people I've been talking about, understand there are many more. Waiting to be caught, but many not believing they ever would be caught.Meanwhile, in Duval County, Florida, the Duval Teachers United union executives—Teresa Brady and Ruby George—stole millions over a decade. Yes, ten years of “just decided to steal on a regular basis” while claiming to represent teachers. Brady received 27 months in prison, George 12 months and one day, and the judge noted the betrayal was methodical, not impulsive. This is where moral authority gets funny: people trusted them to protect salaries, pensions, and benefits—and instead, they were operating a side hustle funded by the very teachers they represented.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get one thing straight: if there's one thing Democrats excel at, it's turning public trust into personal profit. From the White House down to your local city council, from federally funded social programs to municipal contracts, there is no level at which they will not hustle the taxpayer. Medicaid? Misallocated, mismanaged, and misappropriated. Autism programs? Millions lost to fraudulent claims, consultants cashing in while children wait. SNAP? Ghost recipients, phantom claims, and grocery money flowing straight into the pockets of insiders. Hospice care? Millions siphoned while the dying get less than promised. 8A housing programs? Crony contracts disguised as minority empowerment. Social Security? Millions of scammers removed only because agencies like D.O.G.E. finally decided to clean up what Democrats left unchecked for decades.It's a long, unbroken thread of entitlement, audacity, and creative accounting. Democrats have institutionalized cheating so completely that no level of government is safe from their hustle. They've turned the entire apparatus of governance—federal programs, city budgets, state authorities—into a conveyor belt of taxpayer-funded side hustles. And if you thought the press would ever hold them accountable, well, the press seems content to cover the spectacle with polite applause.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Steve Bannon is having a very bad month. A Missouri investor named Andrew Bar has filed a lawsuit against Bannon and fellow MAGA operative Boris Epstein over the now-defunct FJB coin cryptocurrency, alleging nearly $59,000 in losses on a $60,000 investment. Hawk walks through the details of the FJB coin operation, including the suspicious 8% transaction fee structure that promised charitable donations to causes like veterans care but allegedly redirected funds to high-risk investments in obscure coins. With $2.7 million in transaction fees reportedly unaccounted for and investor wallets frozen since early 2025, the lawsuit is seeking class action status.This is not Bannon's first financial scandal. He was pardoned by Trump after a federal indictment tied to the fraudulent We Build the Wall fundraiser, which raised tens of millions in small-dollar donations from Trump supporters before Bannon and associates allegedly pocketed the money. He later pleaded guilty to felony fraud charges at the state level brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and served four months in federal prison for contempt of Congress.Meanwhile, newly released Jeffrey Epstein files reveal that on the very day Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking in July 2019, Bannon was texting him about filming a documentary on Epstein Island. Months earlier, Bannon had advised Epstein to "crush the pedophilia trafficking narrative." The texts have triggered a wave of condemnation from figures across the conservative media landscape, including Elon Musk, Roger Stone, and radio host Erick Erickson. MAGA is turning on one of its own.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has raised serious concerns about the 'weaponization of fraud' within Minnesota's Medicaid system, estimating a staggering $100 billion in nationwide Medicaid fraud. Speaking on 'The Katie Miller Podcast,' Oz highlighted how political patronage and a lack of oversight contribute to the problem. He argues that the state's emphasis on enrolling more people in Medicaid, without proper vetting, diminishes resources for those truly deserving of assistance. Oz pointed to a purposeful lack of scrutiny within Minnesota's Department of Health and Human Services, alongside a gutted Medicaid audit program, as major contributors to this crisis. The implications of this fraud extend to the solvency of the Medicare trust fund, demanding immediate attention and reform to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure the program serves its intended purpose.

Democrats and their created frauds. Let me give you a few examples. Barack Obama. Michelle Obama. Both of them are frauds. Leftists want you to believe only what they feed you about these two, despite you seeing otherwise. Obama is an opportunist. He's bisexual. And he is a fraud. His wife is an ethnocentric racist who sold her soul for the limelight. Remember Collin Kaepernick. No need to elaborate. But you know he's a fraud. And what of Jussie Smollett.All these frauds have the same thing in common: they were willing to lie to get ahead. For their careers.Ilhan Omar. Fraud. Give me a Democrat name, and I will give you a fraud. Go ahead, think of a name…FRAUD. Another. FRAUD.Give me a Democrat issue. Saving the planet. FRAUD. Saving the spotted owl. FRAUD.

Fraudology is presented by Sardine. Request a 1:1 product demo at sardine.ai In this solo "vacation" episode, Karisse Hendrick checks in from the island of Maui to catch up on the latest in the fraud world before the chaos of conference season begins. First, Karisse explores a hilarious yet alarming trend in artificial intelligence: AI Hallucinations. Reading from a recent article by Frank McKenna, she highlights how Google's AI summary tool is confidently inventing absurd fraud schemes—from the "Donkey Scam" involving miniature donkey rescues to the bizarre "Clown Smile Scam" in the dentistry industry. While the examples are funny, Karisse discusses the serious integrity risks that arise when AI refuses to say "I don't know" and instead presents fiction as fact to analysts, journalists, and students. Later in the episode, Karisse dives into a deeper, more personal topic: The difference between a Fraud Professional and a Fraud Fighter. She shares "core memory" stories—including taking a fraud emergency call from the middle of a family corn maze—to illustrate the relentless drive and "addiction to the hunt" that defines a true fraud fighter. In this episode, we discuss:The AI Information Gap: Why Google's AI summaries are creating "fake" fraud types like hot dog fraud and snowman schemes. Content Integrity: Karisse's concerns about AI models using creator content without proper citation or compensation. The Fraud Fighter Identity: How to recognize if you have fraud prevention in your DNA and why it matters when building a team. Upcoming Events: Details on the Merchant Advisory Group, the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) in Vegas, and the first annual Merchant Fraud Alliance Conference in Chicago this October. Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

The PBD Podcast panel reacts to a heated hearing exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Minnesota AG Keith Ellison over alleged fraud ties and campaign donations. The discussion dives into accountability, political power, and growing public distrust in government institutions.

1. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s Senate Testimony Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was questioned in the Senate regarding alleged failures to prevent and address large‑scale fraud in the state’s Feeding Our Future program. Senators—primarily Josh Hawley—accused Ellison of: Ignoring whistleblower warnings as early as 2018–2019. Meeting with individuals later indicted for fraud and allegedly offering to “look into” investigators who were scrutinizing them. Accepting approximately $10,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to the fraud shortly after their meeting. Ellison strongly denied wrongdoing, describing the claims as false and politically motivated. The session was tense, marked by interruptions, raised voices, and confrontational exchanges. 2. Refusal to Condemn Louis Farrakhan During questioning, Ellison declined to explicitly condemn antisemitic statements attributed to Louis Farrakhan. He attempted to redirect discussion to immigration topics, expressing discomfort with the line of questioning. 3. Democrats Linked to Record Sewage Spill Democratic officials in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia oversaw infrastructure failures leading to the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. A burst 72‑inch sewer pipe released nearly one billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. Criticism is directed at: Lack of media coverage. Slow response times. Infrastructure mismanagement. Emergency pumps had to be transported from Texas and Florida to address the crisis. 4. Discussion of Government Competence Democratic‑run cities and states mismanage public systems (snow removal, wildfire mitigation, infrastructure maintenance, etc.). They argue such patterns reflect systemic governmental incompetence. 5. Save America Act & Voter ID Debate The Save America Act, passed in the House with near‑unanimous Republican support, requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Senator Ted Cruz advocates for aggressive procedural tactics in the Senate, including: Forcing a “talking filibuster.” Using the two‑speech rule to pressure Democratic senators. The argument made: voter ID laws are widely supported across political and demographic groups. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Episode 5141: Exposing The Fraud In Georgia; Democrats Try To Shut Down DHS

1. Large-Scale Individual Fraud Example A Los Angeles contractor, Alexander Suker, is accused of stealing $23 million intended to feed and house homeless individuals. Funds were allegedly used for luxury homes, cars, vacations, designer goods, and private schools, instead of homeless services. 2. Failure to Deliver Promised Services Suker was contracted to provide three meals per day to up to 600 homeless people. Inspections reportedly found only canned beans and ramen noodles, contradicting billing claims. Prosecutors allege the use of fake vendors, falsified facilities, and false service records. 3. Broader Pattern of Fraud in California Federal authorities indicate at least 12 additional similar cases under investigation. A U.S. Attorney stated that large sums were pushed out quickly with minimal vetting or checks and balances. 4. Comparison to Other State Scandals Investigators and commentators compare California’s situation to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud, claiming California’s fraud may be larger in scale. Independent investigator Nick Shirley claims billions of dollars may be involved statewide. 5. Alleged Billions in Unaccounted Public Funds $70 billion in taxpayer funds missing or unaccounted for $24 billion spent on allegedly nonexistent homelessness programs $18 billion on nonfunctional high-speed rail $32 billion in stolen COVID relief funds $2.5 billion lost to SNAP fraud 6. Political and Structural Implications California leadership is accused of enabling fraud by prioritizing rapid spending over accountability. Calls are made for whistleblower lawsuits as a tool to recover funds. Critics argue that higher taxes are being proposed despite massive losses. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
