Financial crime is no longer a slow, paper-based investigation that can be pieced together through records requests and manual review. Fraud networks can use synthetic identities, social media recruitment, cryptocurrency, real-time payments and AI-generated impersonations to move stolen money through multiple accounts in hours or even minutes. For law enforcement, the challenge is not only following the money, but doing so quickly enough to act before it disappears. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Daniel Kurz, a retired U.S. Secret Service senior executive and financial crime consultant for Cognyte. Kurz describes how modern criminal enterprises combine cyber fraud, money laundering and other offenses in shared networks — and why investigators need connected data, faster analysis and clear processes to keep pace with technology-driven financial crime. About our sponsor More data has not made investigations faster. Cognyte changes that. Its AI-powered decision intelligence correlates massive volumes of multi-source data across the systems and silos your teams already work in, so analysts spend their time on decisions instead of on assembly. The result is clearer leads, faster assessments, and intelligence you can stand behind. Book a demo and see it on your own data at Cognyte.com.

What's up, Amigos?! I'm glad you're still here. Seriously. I was worried. Because if you listened to the media, this weekend was supposed to be the one that finally got us. You know the drill. Trump did something horrible, therefore America was doomed. Trump did something good, therefore America was also doomed. Trump breathed. DOOMED. But somehow, against all odds, you people survived. You survived Trump pulling us out of the global climate-change farce. The planet was supposed to burst into flames by Tuesday. Yet here you are. Still breathing. You survived Trump's reductions in violent crime. I know. Terrifying. Fewer people getting robbed and murdered. What kind of monster would do that? Then there's the illegal immigration apocalypse. Thankfully, no NEW illegals were able to steal your money, while many are actually leaving the country. And now some of them can't bank here. They can't wire money here. They can't simply stroll across the border, establish themselves, and send your money back home. How oppressive! And somehow, despite all those terrifying Trump trade wars, you're still alive. You haven't been forced to sell your house to buy a dozen eggs. In fact, you may have noticed that the economic apocalypse keeps getting postponed. But the big one... Iran. The media assured us Trump was going to get us all killed. World War III! Nuclear war! Mushroom clouds! Your children would be vaporized! And yet... You didn't get droned by Iran. Congratulations! Apparently surviving the Trump presidency is now an extreme sport. And that brings me to all you horrible people listening right now. Yes, you. You racist... Homophobic... Xenophobic... Bible-thumping... America-loving... Trump-supporting... deplorables. You people are amazing. The Left has spent years predicting your extinction. The media has declared Trump supporters morally diseased, politically doomed, economically suicidal and apparently one tweet away from civilization collapsing. And yet you just keep showing up. Every morning. Coffee in hand. American flag somewhere nearby. Voting for Trump. Driving the people who hate you absolutely insane. You are like cockroaches to the Left. They've tried everything. Impeachment. Indictments. Investigations. Media hysteria. Russia. Ukraine. January 6. The economy. The climate. War. Recession. Eggs. And every time they scream: "THIS IS IT! TRUMP HAS FINALLY DESTROYED AMERICA!" Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Mara Senn, founder and CEO of Ethakos, about her path from big law and a decade as a partner at Arnold & Porter to anti-corruption work at the Kleptocracy Initiative, investigations at the World Bank, and in-house leadership roles at Fortune 500 medical device and pharma companies. Senn explains she built the Ethakos compliance investigations platform using “vibe coding” with Claude, reducing reliance on software engineers and enabling rapid product decisions. She describes Ethakos as AI-native and human-in-the-loop, designed around how compliance teams actually work, with cleaner data creation, configurable workflows, and features that automate painful reporting tasks (e.g., investigation updates) and first drafts of chronologies, interview outlines, and reports. Senn emphasizes audibility via logs and citations, advises starting AI projects with clear risk goals, and predicts AI will remove menial work so teams can cover more risks while becoming more data- and tech-forward. Contact options include ethakos.com, email, and LinkedIn.

The Sunday pod throws you a curveball—we’re putting the usual mailbag in mothballs for a week. Why? Because we’re still basking in the strange, slightly sticky afterglow of Saturday’s big Maller Meet & Greet in Las Vegas. Benny opens the case files from the Maller Bureau of Investigations, where an unofficially deputized P1 went above and beyond in the years-long hunt for our elusive White Whale. Captain Ahab had the ocean; we apparently have sports-radio archives and people with way too much free time. Then there’s dinner. A simple plan. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Instead of arriving at the Temple of Cholesterol for some artery-clogging fellowship, Ben somehow ends up in a cul-de-sac involving a Honda and fertilizer. Honda. Fertilizer. Cul-de-sac. Perfect. Because apparently asking for dinner directions now requires a degree in urban planning and a hazmat endorsement. It’s the Fifth Hour—where even getting something to eat becomes a three-act disaster.

From lucrative overseas deals to secret "special projects," the Trump sons are pulling in massive paydays—even without traditional jobs. But while congressional oversight aims to shine a bright light on this high-level wheeling and dealing, voters are left asking a crucial question: Is exposing political self-enrichment enough to actually help working Americans?Michael Steele dives into a sharp breakdown of how family members profit off political power, what a shift in House leadership means for investigating foreign business ties, and why true accountability requires leaders to lower your everyday costs—not just put on a show with subpoenas.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

Throughout 2026, you cast your nominations for the FedScoop 50, and the results are in. Hundreds of top executives from across the government tech landscape are now up for vote to see who will be honored among this year's FedScoop 50. Voting is open now and runs through September 25. Make your voice heard to help us select who will be recognized on this year's list. One of those nominees in the prestigious Golden Gov category for this year is VA Deputy Secretary and currently acting CIO Paul Lawrence. Lawrence joined the Daily Scoop Podcast to discuss his top priorities in both roles, namely the continued rollout of the department's modernized electronic health record with Oracle. Sam Corcos, the Treasury Department's chief information officer who entered the federal government as a member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has taken on three roles within the General Services Administration. Corcos now serves as acting director of Technology Transformation Services, acting deputy commissioner for the Federal Acquisition Service, and acting assistant commissioner of Login-dot-gov, according to the GSA. “As a current federal agency CIO, Sam Corcos has led complex technology operations and worked across government to advance the President's technology priorities,” a GSA spokesperson told FedScoop. Before Corcos was made Treasury CIO in May 2025, he was co-founder of Levels, a health tech company. Since joining Treasury as a special adviser in March 2025, Corcos has sought access to government data and, according to Wired, made efforts to unify the API at the IRS. “The Trump Administration is focused on making government more effective, efficient, and responsive, and TTS will continue to be an important part of that effort. We are confident that Sam will help advance that mission,” the spokesperson said. Outgoing federal CIO Greg Barbaccia has led TTS since February and Greg Hogan has overseen Login-dot-gov since April. Lawmakers are pushing back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to equip in-the-field agents with gloves that deliver electric shocks. Members of the House Committee on Homeland Security sent a letter last week to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, urging him to intervene and halt the procurement. The signatories included Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the committee's top Democrat, as well as Reps. Luis Correa of California and Shri Thanedar of Michigan, ranking members of the Border Security and Enforcement, and Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability subcommittees, respectively. The representatives warned of the technology being “incorrectly used or abused by officers resulting in injury or death,” per the letter. In acquisition planning documents published earlier this month, DHS said it intends to invest up to $20 million into Compliant Technologies' Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter devices for Homeland Security Investigations officers and Enforcement Removal Operations agents. The contract is expected to be awarded later this year. “ICE is constantly assessing the needs of our officers in the field to ensure they have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in an email. “Every decision is made with careful consideration and appropriately reviewed to ensure that any technology ICE utilizes is consistent with all applicable law enforcement policies and standards.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Global prediction markets are booming. Trading volumes reached a record US$24 billion in April this year, heavily driven by excitement over the FIFA World Cup and sports betting. But with that expansive growth come risks. Recent high-profile cases alleging insider trading related to the markets have alarmed businesses over the fear employees could exploit their nonpublic information for personal gain. Regulators have taken notice, and enforcement is on the rise. How can businesses protect themselves from insiders who might use the prediction markets for ill gain? How significant is the enforcement and regulatory impact on companies? And what's on the horizon as the prediction markets continue to captivate the public? Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on these issues — Ian McGinley, a partner in Sidley's Securities Enforcement and Regulatory and White Collar Defense and Investigations practices and a former Commodity Futures Trading Commission director of enforcement, and Matthew Podolsky, also a partner in Sidley's Securities Enforcement and Regulatory and White Collar Defense and Investigations practices. Matt is a former acting United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and former chief of their Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Together, they discuss the exponential growth of the prediction markets, what is driving that growth, and the real-world risks of insider trading prosecutions related to engaging with those markets. Executive Producer: John Metaxas, WallStreetNorth Communications, Inc.

The investigations into Jeffrey Epstein have repeatedly followed the same frustrating pattern: explosive revelations, promises of transparency, new subpoenas, newly unsealed records, and then another institutional dead end. Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement shut down what could have become a much broader federal conspiracy case, while his 2019 arrest briefly reopened the possibility that prosecutors might finally examine the full network around him. His death ended the criminal case against him personally, and although Ghislaine Maxwell was later prosecuted and convicted, the government never turned that case into a sweeping investigation of the financiers, recruiters, facilitators, employees, professional advisers, and powerful associates who moved through Epstein's world. Civil litigation, congressional inquiries, investigative journalism, bank settlements, document releases, and survivor testimony have continued to expose pieces of the machinery around him, but those revelations have rarely translated into additional criminal accountability.Year after year, the Epstein story therefore seems to advance without ever truly arriving anywhere. Authorities obtain records but release only portions of them. Witnesses are identified but many are never publicly shown to have faced meaningful scrutiny. Financial institutions pay enormous settlements without admitting criminal wrongdoing, while questions surrounding Epstein's money, international relationships, recruitment system, travel network, and potential co-conspirators remain only partially answered. Even when new evidence emerges, the public is often given another narrow slice of the story rather than a comprehensive accounting of how Epstein operated for decades and who helped make that possible. The result has been an investigation that appears permanently trapped between disclosure and accountability: enough information comes out to demonstrate that Epstein did not operate in isolation, yet the larger machinery surrounding him continues to hit the same wall of secrecy, institutional caution, fragmented jurisdiction, and unanswered questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes back Vince Walden, CEO of konaAI, which is the sponsor of this podcast series. Vince is well known for his leadership in data analytics, machine learning, and AI, and we take a deep dive into all of these topics through the lens of the Scoular FCPA Enforcement action. The Scoular case is a unique learning tool for using data analytics, machine learning, and AI for compliance. In this matter, roughly 2,000 near-$2,000 payments were tied to customs brokerage activity. This case illustrates broader uses of data analytics beyond numbers, including mining unstructured text in invoice and payment-description fields (e.g., repeated terms like “re-inspection fee” and Spanish phrases) and linking it to structured AP data. Walden explains how combining structured and unstructured data reduces investigator bias, how round-dollar and repetitive payments to high-risk vendors can be continuously risk scored using hundreds of tests, and how machine learning can “find more like this” across large transaction populations. We discuss integrating communications data when available, using monitoring within typical 30–60-day payment cycles to prevent payments, supporting self-disclosure decisions amid DOJ guidance, and launching a minimum viable analytics program by starting with AP spend, invoices, POs, and payments pulled from ERP systems.

Craig Unger: Craig Unger explores a sidetracked FBI counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump's decades-long ties to Russian interests. Unlike criminal inquiries, counterintelligence investigations focus on national security breaches and the laundering of influence, even when no explicit crime is proven. Unger asserts that Russian mafia figures, acting as adjuncts to state intelligence, began bailing out Trump's failing real estate ventures as early as 1984. These transactions, often involving cash purchases of condominiums in Trump Tower, allegedly turned the former president into an asset of Russian intelligence. Unger argues that the Robert Mueller investigation was a dud because it focused narrowly on criminal acts rather than this broader compromise. The discussion concludes by noting Trump's consistent, long-standing hostility toward NATO, which Unger says mirrors Soviet-era talking points and raises ongoing concerns regarding US national security.

Three cases. One live conversation. And a chat that is not going to agree on any of them. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for a Hidden Killers Live triple covering Nancy Guthrie, Alex Murdaugh, and Lindsay Clancy: three investigations where the loudest question is aimed at the investigators.The Guthrie segment is built on Coffindaffer's own blockchain trace, run after the Pima County Sheriff's Office accidentally released the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet address. What she found: no ransom was ever paid. The only deposit in the wallet's history is roughly three hundred dollars from the FBI. Messages written directly to that wallet, a standing line to whoever took Nancy, were never answered. Why does someone who allegedly demanded four million dollars go silent? The room gets that one.The Murdaugh segment starts with the question his audience keeps yelling: why isn't Becky Hill in prison? Her jury interference forced the retrial; her guilty plea covered a book photo, self-paid bonuses, and sealed exhibits, with no prison time, and a federal judge just dismissed Murdaugh's lawsuit against her. Then the new defense motion demanding SLED's files be certified clean in writing, the fired agent whose word cleared Eddie Smith, and the shirt that tested negative for human blood before becoming untestable forever. Accident or convenience — the chat votes.The Clancy segment takes week two head-on: the defense stipulating to the forensics, the state's calm-patient snapshot from six days after the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and the diary both sides claim proves their case. Can a mind be organized enough to plan and still be broken? Bring your answer.Murdaugh and Clancy are presumed innocent. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Pull up a chair. This one runs hot.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon uncovers two significant stories that shine a light on accountability and transparency in government. The first revelation comes from Solomon's role as chairman of the White House Government Transparency Task Force, where he discusses the declassification of documents showing that former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was placed under criminal investigation by his own team shortly after taking office. Solomon highlights the flimsy basis for this investigation, which stemmed from a letter and concerns raised by Democrats, revealing a troubling pattern of political maneuvering within the FBI during the Trump administration.The second major scoop involves the release of Anthony Fauci's text messages from his time at the NIH, which reveal his private concerns about the COVID vaccine's potential risks for pregnant women. Solomon emphasizes the stark contrast between Fauci's public statements and his private beliefs, raising critical questions about the transparency of public health messaging during the pandemic. The episode also features insights from Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, who is investigating Fauci's actions, and Congressman Marlin Stutzman, who discusses the implications of license plate cameras and a bold proposal to reform foreign aid to Israel.Finally, Solomon celebrates the 250th birthday of America with the owners of the Monocle, a beloved Washington restaurant known for bridging partisan divides.

1. Trump Administration's 50% Tariff on Canadian Goods Main points: The administration argues that Canada has unfairly discriminated against U.S. products, particularly: American automobiles Alcohol products Dairy exports The tariff is presented as a way to protect: American workers Manufacturers Farmers Domestic industries The policy reportedly uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, a rarely used authority allowing tariffs on countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. commerce.
