ECI Checkmates Mamata | 2 Moves from ECI to Plug Loopholes Has Mamata Shouting from Rooftops

#940 | Jamie and Ed break down the Premier League's newly approved financial regulations - rules that will reshape how every club spends, invests, and strategises. They outline the new financial framework, focusing on the Squad Cost Ratio and how it caps total spending on wages, amortisation, and agents' fees relative to club revenue. We analyse how these changes mirror UEFA's own rules and why the league is pivoting toward a more standardised, long-term model of financial control. The pair explore what this means specifically for Manchester United - from wage-bill management and transfer flexibility to projected revenues, the need for player trading, and the club's ability to refresh the squad under new constraints. There's discussion of potential loopholes, how clubs may attempt to game the system, and what enforcement could look like as the Premier League attempts to restore credibility. The episode wraps with a look at United's structural changes, including the arrival of a new head of senior scouting. 00:00 Introduction 02:20 Premier League's New Financial Rules Explained 06:48 How Clubs Will Adapt Their Spending 10:26 United's Financial Health & Future Projections 12:37 Player Trading, Wages & Squad Management 25:50 Penalties, Loopholes & Rule Enforcement 38:24 Closing Thoughts If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

How does a nine-year-old girl vanish on a cross-country trip with her mother — complete with a disguise, a rental car, a license-plate swap, and a return home without the child — and yet the mother still walks free? Tonight on Hidden Killers, we're digging into one of the most infuriating mysteries in the country right now: the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard, and the legal loopholes that are letting her mother avoid charges. This isn't a story about corruption or cover-ups. It's about how the law actually works — and how a parent can slip right through the cracks even while every red flag is burning. Investigators have surveillance video of Melodee in a wig, a multi-state timeline that makes no sense, and a mother who refuses to give a single verifiable explanation about where the child was left. They have a rental car with mismatched plates, a suspicious cross-country route, and a child whose extended family says they hadn't seen her in years. But what they don't have is the one thing prosecutors must have before they can file charges: proof of a specific criminal act. In this episode, we break down that painful reality step-by-step. Why returning home without your child isn't automatically a crime. Why a parent has no legal obligation to cooperate. Why suspicious behavior, evasive answers, and even plate-swapping across state lines doesn't meet the threshold for arrest unless investigators can link it to a provable offense. And why the one charge they did file — unrelated false imprisonment — just collapsed because of a secret recording found on the mother's own phone. It's a breakdown of how a missing-child case can stall in plain sight, how the justice system ties its own hands, and why the search for Melodee is now a race against time — not just to find her, but to gather the evidence needed to hold someone accountable.

Despite the purported ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli airstrikes continue to kill Palestinians. Canada has long downplayed its role in arming Israel, claiming it only issues a limited number of export permits and that those permits have now been suspended. But this week, a new report was released that exposes a massive ongoing flow of Canadian explosives and F-35 parts to Israel via the United States. We speak with Rachel Small, Canada lead for World Beyond War, a member of the Arms Embargo Now Coalition.

For decades, courts across multiple jurisdictions have been criticized for consistently denying Epstein's survivors meaningful justice. From the beginning, legal systems bent under the weight of Epstein's wealth, power, and institutional protection. The most notorious example remains the 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida, in which federal prosecutors secretly negotiated a sweetheart deal giving Epstein minimal jail time, work-release privileges, immunity for unnamed co-conspirators, and—critically—never informed the victims who were legally entitled to be notified. Judges allowed that agreement to stand for years, even after it was revealed victims' rights had been violated, effectively shutting the door on accountability while Epstein resumed his trafficking network without consequence.Even after his 2019 arrest reopened national attention, survivors say the court system continued to fail them. Epstein's sudden death inside a federal detention facility ended the criminal case before testimony could be heard, sparing his network from exposure. Civil litigation has stalled repeatedly under claims of secrecy, sealed records, ongoing investigations, and legal maneuvering designed to protect institutions and elites rather than empower victims. Survivors have waited years for documents and names that courts continue to shield, and the majority of powerful figures who benefitted from Epstein's operation have never seen a courtroom. Instead of being a mechanism for truth, the courts have too often operated as a shield—delaying, redacting, and obstructing justice while survivors are forced to relive trauma in pursuit of answers that the system seems determined to bury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Defense Department's Blue UAS program maintains an ever-expanding index of commercial drones that are meant to be devoid of components from adversary nations including China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, and endorsed for speedier purchasing by U.S. military buyers. This list of compliant options is growing rapidly in late 2025 as the government moves to incentivize the adoption of more affordable U.S.-made drone products for modern military operations, and simultaneously reduce the nation's reliance on foreign supply chains. Blue UAS also marks a key feature of the second Trump administration's plan for “unleashing American drone dominance.” However, multiple sources told DefenseScoop this month that the majority of the unmanned aerial systems cleared through this effort have motors that are sourced in China. One former senior defense official who was granted anonymity to speak freely said: “It's a big enough problem that we should do something. If you don't have motors, you can't fly a drone.” They added: “And I think if you had to pick the top three [Chinese components that are currently in Blue UAS-approved platforms], it would be the motors, the batteries and the electric speed controllers — if you want to call them, like, ‘dumb' parts.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is asking the Trump administration to detail any plans it has to subsidize AI companies, alleging that OpenAI might be positioning itself for such relief, despite denials by its leadership. Warren's Tuesday letter comes as the ChatGPT owner has faced questions in recent weeks about the health of its finances and whether it's becoming so enmeshed in the U.S. economy that the federal government should or would prevent its failure — in other words, whether it's become “too big to fail.” The speculation was enough to elicit a response from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who earlier this month pushed back on the theories in a social media post and said the company should not be bailed out in the event of failure. Yet, Warren is still seeking information about any potential plans by the government to “prop up” the company, arguing OpenAI's decisions paint a different picture. Warrend wrote: “While Mr. Altman has claimed that the company is not looking for a ‘bail out,' OpenAI's actions suggest that it may be pursuing a deliberate strategy to entangle itself with the federal government and the broader economy so the government has no choice but to step in with public funds. We have seen this before: take on enough debt, make enough risky bets, and then demand a taxpayer bailout when those bets go south so the economy does not crash.” The letter was addressed to White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios, and asks for assurances that the administration will not bail out OpenAI or any of its competitors should they fail.

The recent closing of the hemp loophole is set to bring massive changes to the $30 billion hemp industry. For years, hemp-derived THC products thrived in a legal gray area, but now the federal government has set a one-year deadline to end the sale of most intoxicating hemp products.This shift will create new challenges for hemp businesses as they adapt to stricter regulations, but it also opens up opportunities for accountants to step in as trusted advisors during this critical transition.Join Andrew Hunzicker, CPA, along with leading cannabis tax attorneys Rachel Gillette and Jen Benda from Holland & Hart, as they break down the implications of the hemp loophole closure and what it means for accountants, cannabis businesses, and the broader industry.You'll learn:The immediate impact of the hemp loophole closure on businessesHow hemp businesses can navigate compliance and restructuringOpportunities in the evolving CBD and cannabis marketsKey financial challenges businesses will face in 2026Best practices for advising clients during this period of changeSupport the Fight Against 280E: The New Mexico Top Organics case could fundamentally change how 280E applies to cannabis businesses.

Included in one of the bills to fund the federal government and end the government shutdown was a provision closing what is known as the "hemp loophole." This gray area, created by a 2018 law, allowed an industry of hemp-derived intoxicants that were federally legal to be sold throughout the US in places where states hadn't stepped in to regulate these products. On this episode of Policy Outsider, Heather Trela, the director of operations and a fellow at the Rockefeller Institute, spells out the distinction between hemp and marijuana, details how the "hemp loophole" came to be, and explains what closing the loophole means for this industry.GuestsHeather Trela, Director of Operations and Fellow, Rockefeller Institute of Government

By now, you know that the House passed legislation last night to reopen the government. But you might not know about a provision that would completely change the way hemp is regulated. It was tucked into the new farm bill, which was also approved last night, and funds the Agriculture Department through September. We'll hear more. Plus, are government institutions shifting resources away from the working class? Professor Clara Mattei argues that's the case.

Media Watch 2025 Episode 40: The big red apple; Tech trouble; Gambling loophole; Vale John Laws

When an admitted violent offender walks free after 11 felony charges, something in the system is broken. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we expose how Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act was used to spare 18-year-old Jesse Mack Butler from prison time after pleading no contest to multiple felony charges — including rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, and strangulation. Police say they found partial phone video of one attack. Medical reports confirmed that one victim required neck surgery after being choked to the edge of death. Despite the brutality, Butler's case was reclassified from adult felony to Youthful Offender — effectively suspending a 78-year sentence and replacing it with a single year of supervision. Joined by Ret. FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, Tony breaks down: The timeline of failures that let it happen. The family and community privilege surrounding the case. The behavioral patterns of predators — and those who protect them. Why “no-contest” pleas let defendants avoid public accountability. This is a story about systems that choose reputation over justice, mercy over morality, and silence over truth.

How does someone accused of extreme violence walk out of court without a day in prison? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we expose the loophole that turned outrage into disbelief across Oklahoma. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Mack Butler faced serious felony charges after two teenage girls were brutally attacked. Doctors said one almost didn't survive. But instead of decades behind bars, Butler walked free under a single year of supervision thanks to Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act—a law designed to rehabilitate kids, not shield violent offenders. Tony digs deep into how this happened:  ⚖️ How prosecutors and judges use the Youthful Offender statute.

A brightly colored box at a smoke shop should not hit like an opioid, yet that's the business model behind “gas station heroin.” We dive into how tianeptine—a foreign antidepressant with mu‑opioid activity—landed on American countertops as a “dietary supplement,” and why that mirrors a broader playbook: repackage potent psychoactives, exploit loopholes, pivot fast when bans arrive, and let consumers pay the price. Joined by Matthew Lowe, executive director of the Global Kratom Coalition, we trace the supply chain from warehouses to wallets and separate leaf kratom from the synthetic isolates hijacking its name.We break down the risk gradient inside the kratom category: natural leaf with fiber and mixed pharmacology, concentrated extracts that raise potency, and seven‑hydroxymitragynine products that function like a novel opioid. Matthew explains why the FDA's percentage‑based scheduling of 7‑OH is a smart, surgical fix that preserves traditional use while ejecting synthetic opioids from the “supplement” aisle. We also tackle hemp's loophole economy—Delta‑8 and Delta‑10 THC derived from hemp yet delivering marijuana‑like effects with far less oversight—plus contamination, cross‑stocking, and the handful of distributors fueling multiple “legal high” trends at once.Beyond policy, we talk people. When regulators finally pull a dangerous product, dependent users are often left stranded. We outline a practical path: better labeling that discloses opioid activity and dependence risk, age gates, potency caps, and targeted enforcement against unapproved drugs sold as supplements. Just as crucial, clinicians need straightforward guidance to assess what patients took, why they took it, and how to transition them to safer, evidence‑based care without stigma.Curious how these products keep showing up, what “novel synthetic opioid” really means, and how we can protect choice where risk is low while acting decisively where harm is high?
