Podcasts about informants

This week, Paul and Adam welcome Paul Derry, who has written extensively about his time as a confidential informant with the RCMP, which started when he was 15 years old. Derry discusses his time in the witness protection program, his lawsuits against the RCMP, and his efforts to work with police forces on how to better handle confidential informants and police agents. Also covered this week are the recent cabinet shuffle in Nova Scotia, which has resulted in our fifth justice minister in four years, and which also saw Premier Huston take on the Energy portfolio. In addition, Paul and Adam talk about the betting scandal in the NBA, which lead to the arrest of three prominent players and former players, including Hall-of-Famer, Chauncey Billups.

Drew Snarey has lived a career most people only see in movies — from busting gangs in Michigan to protecting high-profile federal figures. He began as a Michigan police officer before transitioning into detective work focused on gang activity and organized crime. His investigative skills led him to serve on multiple federal task forces, where he helped dismantle violent criminal networks and worked closely with top federal agencies. Eventually, Drew made the leap from state law enforcement to the federal level, joining the United States Secret Service and later working alongside other elite federal agencies. In this episode, Drew opens up about life on the streets as a young cop, taking down dangerous crews, navigating the politics of law enforcement, joining federal operations, and the reality of working inside one of America's most elite agencies. He also reflects on the emotional toll these careers take and shares advice for anyone considering a path in law enforcement. #GangDetective #MichiganGangs #TrueCrimePodcast #FormerCop #GangLifeExposed #LawEnforcementStories #PoliceInterviews #streetcrimeuk Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins pulls back the curtain on one of the FBI's most troubling scandals—the case of Joe Stabile, a corrupt FBI agent whose fall from grace revealed just how deep organized crime's influence could run. The story begins in November 1978, when Stabile pled guilty to corruption charges. But as Gary explains, that plea was only the tip of the iceberg. Behind it lay years of whispered rumors, shady deals, and quiet payoffs—stories that painted Stabile not as a straight-arrow G-man, but as a hustler working both sides of the law. Drawing on conversations with retired FBI agents who once worked alongside Stabile, Gary explores the tangled web of mob connections and compromised investigations. Listeners will hear how mobsters slipped him bribes to make gambling cases disappear, and how his background as a New York City cop may have set the stage for the choices that pulled him deeper into the mob's orbit. The episode also highlights the work of honest agents, such as Tony Villano, who began piecing together the truth about Stabile's corruption. Through case files, informant accounts, and law enforcement interviews, Gary demonstrates how the FBI struggled with a culture of silence that often protected its own—even when integrity was at stake. As the story unfolds, the lines between right and wrong blur, exposing systemic cracks inside federal law enforcement during a time when the Bureau was shifting its focus and fighting for credibility. Gary closes with reflections on the lasting impact of the Stabile case: what it meant for the FBI's war on organized crime, and how Stabile himself may have continued to live in the shadows after his conviction—a man caught between two worlds, crime and law enforcement, never fully belonging to either. This is a must-listen for true crime fans, Mafia historians, and anyone fascinated by how organized crime once ruled the Jersey Shore.

I welcome each and every one of you. I've got a story that it's really interesting how I found out about this. That's part of the story. Let's go back. Here's what I'm talking about. A corrupt FBI agent named Joe Stabile. That's S-T-A-B-I-L-E. November 1978. [0:26] It was a Monday and FBI agent Joe Stabile was pleading guilty in federal court to corruption charges. Now, you don't hear about this very much. I know a couple of three here in Kansas City over the years that got popped for doing something. A couple of them were involved in a stolen party or a stolen property ring. A couple of others were one of them was just running his mouth too much and he was drinking too much. I don't think they actually end up charging him anything, but he did run his run his mouth way too much. Joseph Beal only admitted in this guilty plea that he lied about some money transactions, but that's just a tip of the iceberg in this, folks.

James Sexton thinks Operation Pandora's Box is behind him. When he reports a superior officer for misconduct, he is branded a snitch and treated as a pariah. Ostracized and scared, he does what he once thought unthinkable: he begins feeding information about the Sheriff's Department to the FBI, and tells a grand jury about the scheme to hide Anthony Brown. In the U.S. Attorney's first major thrust against the sheriff's department, Sexton becomes one of 18 current or former sheriff's employees to be indicted. Desperate to keep his badge, he decides the fight the charges, and his lawyer portrays him as the “Walter Middy” of the scandal, a man who exaggerated his role. Nevertheless, a jury finds him guilty and he begins his prison sentence.Sexton's decision to talk to investigators opened a rare window into the inner workings of the Sheriff's Department. His testimony about Anthony Brown tied deputies and supervisors to a widening obstruction scandal. The story is reported and narrated by Chris Goffard, the Los Angeles Times journalist behind Dirty John.

#272: Alexander Luchterhandt ist eine schillernde Figur im Berlin der 90er Jahre: Vokuhila, Cowboy-Stiefel, bunte Hosen, ein dicker Mercedes und eine Vergangenheit im Knast. Er kennt jeden in der Hauptstadt, von Kriminellen der Unterwelt bis zu Reportern und Journalisten. Denn Luchterhandt besitzt etwas, das alle wollen: Informationen. Er hört den Polizeifunk illegal ab – wenn die Funkwellen ein Reich sind, dann ist Luchterhandt der König. Doch 2005 verschwindet dieser König plötzlich spurlos. Die Polizei suchte jahrzehntelang nach ihm – ohne Erfolg. Viele sind sich sicher: Luchterhandt wurde ermordet. Aber ein Täter wird nie gefasst. Fast 20 Jahre später meldet sich ein Informant beim Nachrichtenmagazin stern. Er behauptet: Er weiß, wer Alexander Luchterhandt umgebracht hat – und wo seine Leiche liegt. In dieser Folge begleiten wir den stern-Reporter Matthias Bolsinger bei seiner Suche. Wir treffen den Informanten, der nach all den Jahren ins Licht tritt, und folgen den Spuren des Königs der Funkwellen zurück nach Berlin. Vielen Dank an den stern und an Matthias, dass wir diesen spannenden und mysteriösen Fall hier erzählen dürfen!

During Jeffrey Epstein's unraveling legal saga, former Congresswoman Jackie Speier formally pressed the Department of Justice on whether Epstein had ever served as an FBI informant. The inquiry came amid mounting suspicions about how Epstein managed to secure his notorious 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida, which effectively shielded him and his alleged co-conspirators from serious federal charges. Speier's question cut to the heart of a mystery that had circulated for years: was Epstein given unusually favorable treatment because he was providing intelligence or cooperating with federal authorities in some hidden capacity? Her request for clarification highlighted the unease in Congress about possible institutional complicity in protecting him.The DOJ's response was carefully worded, neither fully confirming nor decisively denying Epstein's possible informant status. Officials leaned on the secrecy of law enforcement processes, pointing to restrictions on disclosing confidential sources. This non-answer only deepened speculation and public mistrust, as critics argued it fit the larger pattern of opaque deals and unexplained leniency surrounding Epstein's case. Speier's intervention signaled congressional recognition that the Epstein scandal raised broader questions about the integrity of federal law enforcement, particularly whether the justice system had been bent to accommodate a wealthy, well-connected predator.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2020/02/29/democratic-congresswoman-reportedly-asks-doj-if-epstein-was-fbi-informant/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Crime runs rampant on the streets, and the cops feel as though the criminals are winning lately. A lead comes in that might turn the tables a little bit as…

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson declared last week that Donald Trump had been an FBI informant working to take down Jeffrey Epstein. He subsequently said he might have got it wrong. In Britain Reform had their party conference with the BBC's political editor gushing about the ‘insurgency vibe'.On Free State, Joe and Dion ask if the media knows how to handle the rise of figures who peddle nothing but misinformation.Joe and Dion disagree on why this is. As the Irish presidential election comes closer they wonder about the questions some candidates like Catherine Connolly face. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mike Johnson's claim that Donald Trump was an undercover FBI informant working to bring down Jeffrey Epstein is nothing more than political fan fiction. It comes after every other narrative—calling Epstein a hoax, smearing survivors, and demanding the public “move on”—has completely collapsed. The idea that Trump, who partied with Epstein, publicly called the scandal a Democrat hoax, and routinely defamed survivors, was secretly the Serpico of Mar-a-Lago is absurd on its face. If it were true, the files would already be released and Trump himself would be shouting about it from every podium. Instead, there's silence, spin, and desperate storytelling designed to distract from the reality: survivors were ignored, Epstein was protected, and the files remain locked away.At its core, this narrative is just another attempt to shield powerful people from accountability by rewriting history with Trump as the unlikely hero. But it collapses under even the slightest scrutiny—because the contradictions are glaring, the evidence is nonexistent, and the cruelty toward survivors is undeniable. Rather than offer transparency, Johnson offers a bedtime story, hoping the public will swallow it whole. Yet the truth is clear: if Trump really was an informant, then we should all be demanding the release of the files to see his supposed heroics. And since they refuse, we know exactly what this is—another cheap distraction to keep the truth buried, while the survivors still wait for the justice they deserve.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

And since they refuse, we know exactly what this is—another cheap distraction to keep the truth buried, while the survivors still wait for the justice they deserve.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Will Transhumanism free us, or leave us open to manipulation and control by powerful actors and systems like an immortal Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, armed with cybernetics, AI, and genetic engineering?The dream of transcending human limits has always been tied to the nightmare of domination. From Plato and Aristotle's warnings about telos, to Nietzsche's call to “become gods,” to the Christian critique of hubris, the debate has never been just about technology but about what it means to be human.Tonight we ask: is transhumanism the path to human freedom from the shackles of mother nature & superstition, or the cybernetic road to hell?---Joining Break The Rules are:Grayson Quay – journalist and critic of transhumanism, who warns that chasing self-creation and immortality could strip us of wisdom, purpose, and humanity itself.https://x.com/hemingquayPurchase his new book "The Transhumanist Temptation" https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-transhumanist-temptation/Gennady Stolyarov II – Chairman of the Transhumanist Party, who argues that human enhancement and technological progress are essential for our survival.https://x.com/GStolyarovIIPurchase Gennady's book "Death is Wrong"https://www.amazon.com/Death-Wrong-Gennady-Stolyarov-II/dp/0615932045Gnostic Informant – bringing the historical and philosophical perspective, challenging both sides on what it means to be human versus to become something else.https://x.com/Gnosisinformanthttps://www.youtube.com/@GnosticInformanthttps://www.patreon.com/GnosticInformantHosted by Lev Polyakovhttps://x.com/LevPo--Consider Supporting BTR by:Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules

A menagerie of Badlands Media hosts team up for another rowdy round of OnlyLands. Zak Paine, Jaytriot, Jonathan Drake, Chris Paul, and Cam Cooksey swap stories ranging from California's collapse to whip-cracking at Deadwood. They dig into housing costs, DEI rot in industry, and the rats behind America's food supply, mixing hard truths with wild humor. The conversation shifts into politics with Trump's rumored FBI informant role in the Epstein saga, Tim Kaine's claim that rights come from government (and Ted Cruz's rebuttal), and Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo's stand against vaccine mandates. Movie reviews, Soft Disclosure ad spots, and listener banter round out the night, proving once again why Friday nights on OnlyLands feel like hanging with family, if your family swears, laughs, and dismantles propaganda for fun.

Ret FBI Chief EXPOSES The Lies Of The Austin Drummond FBI Informant Claim  The Austin Drummond case has spiraled from horrifying to surreal. Accused of murdering four members of a family in Lake County, Tennessee, and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, Drummond is now spinning a story that he was really a confidential informant for the FBI. According to Drummond, he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling in Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover was blown,” and that he fled not because of guilt, but because his life was in danger. Prosecutors have found no evidence to support this claim. Adding to the chaos are three alleged accomplices: Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas. Prosecutors say they provided Drummond with phones, shelter, clothing, and transportation during his weeklong manhunt. Each faces charges of their own. But the bigger question remains: did they believe his story? Or were they knowingly protecting a fugitive accused of slaughtering a family? To unpack all of this, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. From the implausibility of Drummond's informant tale to the psychology of accomplices and manipulation, Robin brings insider expertise to dissect what's real, what's fantasy, and how stories like this are used to confuse, distract, and exploit. This full conversation covers both angles: the informant claim, and the dangerous ripple effects of accomplices pulled into Drummond's orbit. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #FBI #CourtCase #MurderCase #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on one of the most bizarre claims to come out of the Austin Drummond case. Drummond, accused of murdering four people in Lake County, Tennessee, and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, has now declared that he was a confidential FBI informant. According to him, his “cover was blown,” and somehow the murders were connected to his work with federal authorities. But does this claim make sense? Could Drummond have ever actually been an FBI source? And what does it really mean to be an informant inside the Bureau? In this Break the Case episode, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer draws on her 25 years of experience to explain how informant programs actually function. From quotas and categories of sources, to the checks, balances, and risks that agents face when handling informants, she provides an inside look at a world few ever get to see. Coffindaffer also pulls back the curtain on Drummond's background — his gang ties to the Vice Lords, his history behind bars, and his inappropriate relationship with a prison guard that reportedly produced a child. She explains why those details matter in evaluating both his credibility and his possible motive. And perhaps most striking, she warns about the danger Drummond has now created for himself. By publicly declaring he was an FBI informant, he's effectively placed a massive target on his back inside prison. Among gangs, being a “rat” is one of the most dangerous reputations you can carry — and Drummond just gave himself that label. So was Drummond ever an informant? Maybe, in some minor capacity at some point. But Coffindaffer makes clear: it has nothing to do with the quadruple murder charges he now faces.

Send us a textSean was interrogated by federal agents. They were asking him to turn informant. And he did. That moment — terrifying, surreal — was the culmination of years spent running from trauma, shame, and addiction. Raised Mormon and queer, Sean lived in silence and meth helped him feel connected and accepted. But it almost killed him. From suicide attempts rising to the top of Washington DC's drug trade  to spiritual healing, Sean's story is one of collapse and slow, intentional rebirth.=============Key Learning Points

Defense in Panic Mode? Donna Adelson's Team Tries To Toss Out Key Witnesses and Downplay Evidence Just 14 Days Before trial. Donna Adelson is about to go on trial for the murder-for-hire plot of her ex son-in-law and beloved FSU law professor, Dan Markel. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. In this episode, STS Host and Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Joel Waldman brings on Private Investigator Monica Jordan, Attorney Josh Ritter ⁨@CRConfidential⁩ and Former Inmate Justin Paperny to discuss key motions, the power of the informants, the reality of people turning on each other--and what the biggest red flags are two weeks out from trial. The murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel in 2014 shocked the nation, and now, more than a decade later, his former mother-in-law Donna Adelson is set to stand trial for his killing. Prosecutors allege that Adelson was part of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated to end a bitter custody battle between Markel and her daughter, Wendi Adelson. Markel was gunned down in his Tallahassee driveway in broad daylight, a crime authorities say was carried out by hired hitmen with ties to the Adelson family. Donna Adelson's upcoming trial is expected to reveal explosive new evidence, witness testimony, and details about the conspiracy that's been unraveling for years. STS will cover the trial gavel-to-gavel on STS and Joel will be LIVE in Tallahassee, Florida everyday. Help STS with Travel costs: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

Donna Adelson is making headlines again as she files new motions ahead of her highly anticipated trial set for August 19th. Adelson's defense team is now trying to silence key jailhouse informants and suppress their damning “evidence” that could link her directly to the murder-for-hire plot that left FSU Law Professor Dan Markel dead. Her defense team argues the informants are unreliable and that their statements are prejudicial, but prosecutors say the information is crucial to the case. As the courtroom showdown approaches, all eyes are on these latest filings and how they could impact the trial. The murder of Dan Markel, a respected Florida State University law professor and father of two boys, shocked the nation in 2014 when he was gunned down in his driveway in what prosecutors say was a cold-blooded murder-for-hire plot. Investigators believe the killing was orchestrated by members of the Adelson family following a bitter custody battle between Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. The case has led to multiple arrests, including hitmen Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera, as well as Katherine Magbanua then Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson. The most recent arrest was for Donna Adelson, the family matriarch. This high-profile case continues to unfold with new revelations, court filings, and upcoming trials. STS will be in Tallahassee covering the trial from gavel to gavel.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast
