The illegal tobacco trade has become a very lucrative business worldwide. In Australia for example, illegal, excise-evading cigarettes now comprise of half of the products sold to the country’s 2.7 million smokers, according to the ABC. It’s thought the $10 billion a year in revenue there is going straight into the pockets of organised crime. But, has this trend made it to New Zealand shores? And how much of a headache is it causing those protecting our borders? Today on The Front Page, head of Fraud and Prohibition, Chief Customs Officer Nigel Barnes, is with us to discuss how they’re cracking down on illegal tobacco. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Blunt Business welcomes Joshua Horn, co-chair of Fox Rothschild's LLP's cannabis law practice. We addressed several key issues impacting the cannabis industry, including the detrimental impact of California's upcoming cannabis tax increase, the challenges posed by the persistent illicit market, and the lack of state enforcement against it. We also addressed the stalled federal rescheduling of cannabis, attributing it to political factors and potential resistance within the DEA, while briefly touching on Pennsylvania's legalization efforts and frustrations with the lack of clear federal regulation.We also focused on the lack of progress in rescheduling cannabis at the federal level, despite the Biden administration's recommendation. Political factors and potential internal resistance within the DEA were cited as reasons for the delay. We also noted that the federal government's current tax revenue from the existing 280E structure might act as a disincentive for reform.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Joshua Mandel, a 46-year-old film production accountant from Woodland Hills, California, has been indicted on six counts of wire fraud for allegedly embezzling over $1.9 million from independent film productions between 2019 and 2023. Mandel, who owned and operated First J Productions Inc. as its CEO and CFO, was entrusted with managing cash flow, payroll, expenses, and bank accounts for various indie films. He also controlled prepaid debit cards issued by CASHét Card, a tool commonly used in the film industry for quick payments. Prosecutors allege that Mandel exploited this access by writing unauthorized checks, executing illicit wire transfers, and funneling money into a personal CASHét Card account whimsically named "Fun Fun Fun."To mask his activities, Mandel reportedly shuffled funds between different production companies, creating a web of transfers that temporarily covered deficits in one entity's books with stolen money from another—a tactic reminiscent of a Ponzi-like shell game, though formally charged as wire fraud rather than a traditional investment scam. This scheme allowed him to sustain personal extravagances while delaying detection. The embezzled funds fueled a lavish lifestyle, including payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to various young women, such as pornographic actresses, and over $129,000 specifically to one woman he connected with via a "sugar daddy" website. Additional expenditures included more than $24,000 on Las Vegas hotels, clubs, and shows, as well as over $12,000 on luxury goods from Louis Vuitton. If convicted on all counts, Mandel faces up to 20 years in federal prison per charge, underscoring the severity of the alleged financial betrayal in an industry already fraught with tight budgets and creative risks.The case highlights vulnerabilities in film production accounting, where trusted individuals like Mandel hold significant financial authority over transient projects. The FBI is leading the investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander B. Schwab prosecuting. Mandel is presumed innocent until proven guilty and is scheduled for arraignment on September 10, 2025, in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.### Additional Information on the CaseThis indictment was announced by the U.S. Department of Justice on August 8, 2025, just days before the current date. Media coverage has largely echoed the DOJ's details, framing the story as a cautionary tale of embezzlement in Hollywood's indie sector, with headlines emphasizing the sensational spending on "sugar daddy" arrangements, porn actresses, and Vegas indulgences. No trial date has been set yet, and public records do not indicate any prior criminal history for Mandel in this context. The full indictment document is not yet publicly linked on the DOJ site, but it details the six specific wire fraud instances tied to the transfers. Some reports note that Mandel "socialized" with the pornographic actresses, suggesting the payments may have been for companionship or related activities, though exact purposes remain unspecified.Regarding who he spent the money on, no specific names of the recipients have been publicly disclosed in available sources, likely to protect privacy amid the ongoing investigation. The indictment and press releases generalize the beneficiaries as "various young women, including pornographic actresses," with the bulk of identifiable spending directed toward one unnamed woman from the sugar daddy site (exceeding $129,000) and broader categories like adult entertainers. Other funds went to non-personal items, such as the Vegas outings and luxury purchases, but no further breakdowns or individual identities were found in searches of news articles, DOJ announcements, or social media discussions. If more details emerge post-arraignment, they may appear in court filings or future media reports.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X or TikTok or LinkedIn @kingofpodcastsFind KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comBuy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

And that could just be the tip of the iceberg of illicit sales on social media. So how do we get on top of this?

Today we welcome Amy O'Gorman Jenkins, the state's preeminent cannabis lobbyist - so much so that she earned the nickname "Pot Girl" back when Gavin Newsom was still just the Lieutenant Gov. Jenkins, was one of the first lobbyists for the state's once-maligned, now coveted, cannabis industry, first when she worked out of Darius Anderson's shop, then later at her own firm, Precision Advocacy. She was lead lobbyist for the California Cannabis Industry Association for a decade, but left this year to head up new a new cannabis trade group representing the state's largest retailers, The California Cannabis Operators Association. Jenkins describes an industry in peril, with legal outlets closing, legal sales dropping, and the state's cannabis excise tax poised to go up July 1 unless the legislature acts.Plus, as always, we tell you Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.1:42 Prop. 103 repeal?4:25 Changing the excise tax on cannabis?5:24 "A week of Lea/hs"6:19 Should Kamala Harris still be considered a frontrunner for California Governor?7:08 Polling on Democrats' attitudes8:11 Jason Sisney's Budget odds8:46 California and AI9:44 Amy O'Gorman Jenkins10:59 Origin story12:04 "Pot Girl"13:01 The change in attitude toward the cannabis industry15:02 #AB56418:03 The cannabis industry in crisis20:13 Illicit sales are still far larger than legal sales26:47 CA's cannabis excise tax is 124% higher than Michigan's27:27 Cannabis is taxed at 2.5 times the rate of tobacco and 6 times the rate of alcohol29:44 How dire is the crisis?30:51 about 68% of CA jurisdictions ban legal cannabis31:54 National cannabis legislation?33:32 "This is a heritage industry"37:53 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Dr Phil Williams is Professor Emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught from January 1990 to April 2022.  In the first part of his career, at Aberdeen University, Southampton University, and Chatham House, he wrote books on Crisis Management, The Senate and US Troops in Europe, During the last 30 years his research has focused primarily on transnational organized crime, His most recent book is “The Mediterranean Connection: Criminal Networks and Illicit Economies in North Africa.” Aspects of criminal networks usually include the smugglers' toolkit: concealment, deception, circumvention and facilitation   North Africa itself can be understood as a space of flows – primarily south to north, but also north-south (hazardous waste) and horizonal flows, cannabis from Morocco moves Eastwards while counterfeit cigarettes move from Dubai to the Atlantic and through Algeria into Europe.    Some international assistance is provided by Interpol and the United Nations agencies to counteract this.

Continuing a recap of the 2025 Rx and Illicit Drug Summit, KET interviews Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman; Van Ingram, executive director of the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy; and Tom Vicini, president and CEO of Operation UNITE. Recovery, treatment and prevention groups featured on the program include Lifeline Recovery Center in Paducah and Scott County Detention Center.

Organised crime groups are using mainstream resale platforms like Facebook Marketplace for the sale of tobacco. Research shows up to 25 percent of all cigarettes in New Zealand are sourced illegally. Auckland University Public Health Professor Chris Bullen says he doesn't believe the data is that high, but rather sitting somewhere between five and 10 percent. He says selling online is an issue, however. "They're using these platforms now to advertise quite brazenly products, but they're tricky because they keep changing what they're calling them."

Renee Shaw recaps the Rx and Illicit Drug Summit 2025 with one-on-one interviews, including U.S. Representative Hal Rogers (R-KY5); U.S. Representative James Comer (R-KY1); U.S. Representative Brett Guthrie (R-KY2); and Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Conflict diamonds, sanctions evasion and the evolution of organized crime in digital assets. In this episode we cover all that and more with Eitan Danon (Content Marketing Manager, Chainalysis) and Brad Brooks-Rubin (Partner, Arktouros PLLC). Brad shares his extensive experience working at the intersection of policy, financial crime and international illicit finance to walk the audience through discussions on complex jurisdictions, sanctions and innovative solutions using blockchain technology.  He also  brings to light the critical issues surrounding sanctions compliance and how organized crime is exploiting digital assets particularly in emerging markets where crypto adoption is burgeoning. Eitan and Brad offer a deep understanding of the role U.S. policy plays on the global stage, the challenges of sanctions enforcement and the potential of blockchain in disrupting illegal financial ecosystems.

In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores, announced a recent purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus, just discovered, carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold. The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the Gospels and writings of Sappho. Dr. Mazza's quest to confirm the provenance of these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big business of ancient manuscripts, from the Greens' Museum of the Bible and world-famous auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, to antique shops in Jerusalem and Istanbul, dealers on eBay, and into the collections of renowned museums and universities. Dr. Mazza's investigation informs her book, Stolen Fragments: Black Markets, Bad Faith, and the Illicit Trade in Ancient Artefacts (Redwood Press, 2024), and forces us to ask what happens when the supposed custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between protection and exploitation, between scholarship and larceny? Our guest is: Dr. Roberta Mazza, who is Associate Professor of Papyrology at the University of Bologna. She previously held positions at the University of Manchester, where she was honorary curator of the Manchester Museum, and at the University of California, Berkeley. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who works as a developmental editor for scholars, and is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

In Callan Wink's new novel Beartooth, two brothers live at the edge of Yellowstone National Park. Their father has recently died of cancer, leaving behind unpaid medical bills and taxes. Desperate to save their home, the pair ventures into the park as part of a scheme involving the illegal collection of elk antlers. The novel, Wink says, was inspired by a similar story he heard at a bar. In today's episode, Wink talks with Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd about the experience of living near Yellowstone, the impact of financial desperation on ethics, and the author's decision to write about brothers.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Austin Kocher, political and legal geographer studying immigration enforcement, and Assistant Research Professor at Syracuse University. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel's  bombardment of Gaza – breaking another ceasefire and killing hundreds – Trump's back-and-forth with the judicial system, DOGE's assault on the US Government, Trump's union-busting pick for NLRB General Counsel, Trump's crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech, the FDA's move to delapidated office spaces, an abortion arrest out of Texas, and Trump's attack on the Social Security Administration, before expanding on Israel's violation of a ceasefire in Gaza with strikes killing over 300, and setting the stage for a potential return to ground invasion. Professor Austin Kocher then joins, diving right into the Trump Administration's recent deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvadorian “gulags” under the guise of association with militant gang “Tren de Aragua,” exploring the unsurprising revelations about the *lack* of association between many of these migrants and the gang, and why authoritarian President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele was so happy to bring these migrants into his expansive prison labor system ($6 million will help). Next, Professor Kocher steps back to assess the insane legal “strategy” grounding Trump's agenda, with his blantant push for chaos allowing for his regime to carry out astonishingly inhumane actions amid countless injuctions and court orders, and why Judge Boasberg's push to get attourney's to sign onto their arguments might create some liability moving forward. After expanding on the regime's obvious misrepresentation of who they are deporting, Austin, Sam, and Emma walk through the various layers of protection offered to immigrants in the US right now, including preemptive legal action, and knowing your rights, before wrapping up the interview by assessing exactly how absurd Trump's claim of an “invasion” truly is. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch White House Spox. Karoline Leavitt attempt to claim verbal court orders don't count, reflect on Trump's growing friction with the courts, and unpack Steve Bannon's and Fox News' respective attempts to defend Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Tim Walz and Chris Murphy begin to turn the tide of how Democrats are talking about the neoliberal era, Brady from Kentucky discusses a potential run for office, and a bunch of Big Tech fraudsters lie about the “failure” of Social Security, Phil from Delaware tackles SB-21, plus, your calls and IMs!
