Richard Lamondin and his brother started their company 13 years ago after reading that a fifth of all toilets leak, learning to replace them from YouTube videos, and going door to door at apartment communities. That business became ecofi, a national firm that cuts energy and water use in buildings. On this episode of Climate Change Environment Science & the Law, he tells host Gregg Goldfarb why that work led him to run for the Florida Senate in District 38. The through line is affordability. Richard lays out what he sees as the squeeze on Miami families, from preschool costs to rents to a property insurance market he says has become unaffordable, and argues that Florida's problem is one of priorities rather than funding. He also explains what a legislative supermajority is, why he says most of the decisions that touch daily life come from Tallahassee rather than Washington, and what breaking that math would change at the committee level. Gregg, an environmental lawyer, brings his own history to the table, including an early case in the Keys built on the argument that in South Florida the environment is the economy. From there the two get into coastal resilience: storm surge, living sea walls, mangroves, fish stocks, fertilizer runoff and algae blooms, and saltwater intrusion into the aquifer. Richard's case is that decades of inaction on coastal risk are a direct upstream cause of today's insurance bills. They also cover why South Florida has so little rooftop solar despite the climate, the Everglades restoration work Richard says has stalled, and what his first 100 days and first three bills would look like.   Join Gregg and Richard Lamondin on Climate Change Environment Science & the Law as they explore: TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – "Can people actually make it here?"

He and his brother started the company 13 years ago after learning to replace leaking toilets from YouTube videos and going door to door at apartment communities.

On this episode of The Roundtable, we're examining what happens when the internet's attention economy becomes incapable of looking away from human suffering.We begin with the shocking livestream involving Perez Hilton, separating verified facts from online speculation before exploring TikTok's moderation systems and asking why a platform sophisticated enough to detect copyrighted music in seconds struggled to intervene during a real-time mental health crisis. From there, we examine Miami-Dade's crisis response, discussing how de-escalation, mental health professionals, and tactical policing intersect when thousands of viewers are watching events unfold in real time.We also explore the lasting psychological impact of Perez Hilton's recent medical battles—including sepsis, deep vein thrombosis, and prolonged recovery—and consider how the relentless demands of the creator economy leave little room for genuine healing. Finally, we unpack the rapid deployment of crisis public relations, Perez Hilton's complicated legacy as one of the architects of early internet gossip culture, and the uncomfortable reality of becoming a victim of the very digital ecosystem you helped create.Throughout the episode, one question connects every story: Have we built a digital world that rewards attention so relentlessly that it can no longer recognize the difference between content and a human life in crisis?Pull up a chair... the conversation starts now.The Roundtable is a Georgio Says Podcast Series, where the headlines start the conversation—but the bigger story is always waiting beneath the surface.

Two fronts opened against Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown over her Epstein reporting and book. First, multiple defamation suits were filed by people portrayed in her work: Epstein survivors Courtney Wild and Haley Robson alleged Brown misrepresented their experiences and, in Robson's case, cast her as a collaborator rather than a victim; and Ghislaine Maxwell's former assistant Emmy Tayler filed her own defamation action over claims that she “organized” Epstein's massages. The Tayler matter proved especially damaging to Brown's publisher: HarperCollins issued a formal apology in 2024 acknowledging Tayler was defamed in the UK edition and wrongly inserted into the narrative—an extraordinary concession that undercut the book's editorial due diligence and handed ammunition to critics who said Brown's project sometimes sacrificed precision for impact.Second, Brown became embroiled in a contractual fight with private investigator Michael (Mike) Fisten, who said he'd been cut out of a promised collaboration and sued for compensation tied to the book deal. That dispute showcased the commercial tug-of-war behind high-profile “accountability” bestsellers: Fisten's early winless turn in arbitration (rejecting his $350k claim) didn't end the saga, which spilled into Miami-Dade court and later reached Florida's Third District Court of Appeal. The upshot is a messy, credibility-draining litigation trail: while Brown's reporting helped reignite scrutiny of Epstein, the courtroom aftermath—defamation claims from survivors, a publisher's apology to Tayler, and a protracted fight with a key investigator—has raised uncomfortable questions about methods, attribution, and whether the rush to own the narrative came at the expense of accuracy and fair dealing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Miami's rise is often measured by the development transforming its skyline, but the city's long-term success will also depend on the people, talent and culture growing within its communities. In this episode of the Miami Real Estate Podcast, Omar De Windt speaks with Sammy Gonzalez Zeira, founder and CEO of Young Musicians Unite, about how access to music education can influence the trajectory of a student, and ultimately, the future of a city.

From developing students' confidence and professional skills to building a model that other major cities are beginning to study, this episode explores what becomes possible when Miami invests not only in where the city is going, but in the people who will take it there.

There were an estimated 50,000 Haitians granted TPS in Miami Dade with the highest concentration obviously being in the Little Haiti neighborhood at the time of the Supreme Court ruling. There were approximately 45,000 in Broward with an estimated 18,000 Haitians under TPS in Palm Beach County. These are obviously massive numbers, and it may well be the case that ICE/DHS are hoping that the onset of enforcement action locally will lead to most Haitians now living here illegally to leave willfully.

Jose Gonzalez was supposed to be a lawyer. Then Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, and the entry-level job he'd taken at Miami-Dade's Building and Zoning Department to pay his way through FIU turned into a career. He learned construction and its regulatory side on his feet, in the middle of a region rebuilding itself.At 22, when most of his peers were collecting diplomas, Armando Codina recruited him to work on Dolphin Mall. He never really left that world. When Codina Group merged into Flagler in 2006, he stayed on under Florida East Coast Industries, eventually rising to Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, the person responsible for the parts of development nobody claps for: land use, zoning, environmental, traffic, and the government relationships that decide whether a project ever gets out of the ground. His biggest stage was Brightline, the privately built rail line connecting Miami and Orlando, alongside the industrial buildout through Flagler Global Logistics that reshaped South Florida's warehouse map.In this episode we go all the way back, family, upbringing, the version of Jose who thought he'd be arguing in front of juries instead of zoning boards. We get into what Andrew actually looked like on the ground, what Armando Codina saw in a 22-year-old, the low points he doesn't usually talk about, and what he thinks is genuinely broken about how Miami gets built. He also tells us what it means to have come full circle, back in the Codina orbit where the whole thing started.Recorded at Buró, where we do our best work and drink our best drinks.

Is anything sacred for Democrats when it comes to helping citizens.The short version is this: federal agents raided the home and office of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and multiple reports indicate the investigation is tied to LAUSD's failed AI chatbot project called "Ed," which was developed through a multimillion-dollar contract with the education technology company AllHere. Carvalho has not been charged with any crime, and the FBI has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation. What happened?On February 25, 2026, the FBI executed search warrants at:Carvalho's home in Los Angeles LAUSD headquarters A Florida residence connected to education consultant Debra Kerr, who had ties to AllHere and Carvalho dating back to his time in Miami-Dade schools. Two days later, the LAUSD Board placed Carvalho on paid leave. On June 21, 2026, Carvalho resigned as superintendent, though he continued to deny wrongdoing. Authorities still have not announced any charges against him. What was the chatbot controversy?The controversy centers on an AI assistant called "Ed."LAUSD unveiled Ed in 2024 with considerable publicity. The chatbot was marketed as a personalized digital assistant for students and parents that could:Track grades and attendance Provide academic recommendations Translate communications into roughly 100 languages Help families navigate school services Carvalho championed the project as a major innovation for the district. The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch.Why did it become a scandal?Several issues emerged:1. The company imploded.Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted.AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded.Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced.After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything?Not publicly.That distinction is important.The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today:Carvalho has not been charged. Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor.

The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch.Why did it become a scandal?Several issues emerged:1. The company imploded.Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted.AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded.Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced.After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything?Not publicly.That distinction is important.The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today:Carvalho has not been charged. Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor. Why this became a political storyThe optics are terrible for LAUSD.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anna Kepner Cruise Ship Case: Can Her Parents Be Charged If No Federal Law Covers It?

The question at the center of the Anna Kepner case has shifted from the accused to the adults who allegedly put her in harm's way. Timothy Hudson's own step-grandmother publicly stated on CBS that the parents should be held accountable and described the family cruise as “a recipe for disaster.” Anna's ex-boyfriend has stated she was afraid of her stepbrother and took steps to avoid being alone with him. Three teenagers who had not been raised together were assigned to a single cabin aboard the Carnival Horizon.The Crumbley precedent — in which both parents of the Oxford High School shooter were convicted of involuntary manslaughter for ignoring documented warning signs — has dominated public discussion. But the jurisdictional framework differs fundamentally. The Carnival Horizon is a Panamanian-flagged vessel. The alleged crime occurred in international waters, outside any state's jurisdiction. No federal contributing-to-the-delinquency-of-a-minor statute applies in this context. If no applicable law exists, the comparison to the Crumbley prosecution lacks a statutory foundation.Separately, Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres reversed his own pretrial release decision on June 10 after receiving sealed evidence filed two days earlier. His detention order states that Hudson's alleged conduct suggests “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse” and that he could “snap at any time.” Hudson surrendered to U.S. Marshals and is being held at Citrus County Jail pending transfer to Miami-Dade's Metro West Detention Center. Trial remains set for September.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke examine the jurisdictional obstacles, the legal shift from juvenile to adult detention rules, and what the sealed evidence likely contains.Timothy Hudson, sixteen, is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On May 27, Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres kept Timothy Hudson free. On June 10, after receiving sealed evidence filed two days earlier, the same judge ordered Hudson detained and used language federal judges spend their careers avoiding. He wrote that Hudson allegedly exhibits “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse” and could “snap at any time.” He said no placement could contain the danger.Something in that sealed filing moved Torres from caution to certainty. The defense had argued perfect compliance for months. The judge had been defending his own release decision since February. Whatever prosecutors delivered on June 8 was enough to reverse everything.Hudson surrendered to U.S. Marshals and is being held at Citrus County Jail. He'll be transferred to Miami-Dade's Metro West Detention Center by July 10. A mental health evaluation has been ordered. The September trial date holds.Meanwhile, the question of parental accountability grows louder. Hudson's own step-grandmother has publicly said the parents should face consequences. Anna's ex-boyfriend says she was scared of Hudson and avoided being alone with him. Three teenagers who weren't raised together were placed in a single cabin.

Something arrived under seal in the Anna Kepner case — and within two days, the judge who'd been defending Timothy Hudson's freedom for four months reversed himself and ordered him detained. The question everyone should be asking: what was in that filing?Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres had released Hudson in February under juvenile rules. He'd called the government's case “a much closer call” with “various defenses.” On May 27, after a full hearing, Torres kept Hudson free. The defense pointed to months of flawless compliance. And then prosecutors filed sealed “newly disclosed, supplemental information” on June 8. On June 10, Torres signed the detention order.The language was unlike anything he'd written before. Hudson displays “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse.” He could “snap at any time.” No curfew, monitor, or custody arrangement could contain the danger. Torres expressed concern that Hudson could “make another very wrong decision the closer the trial gets.” That's a forward-looking danger assessment from a judge who doesn't trust the next three months.Hudson surrendered to U.S. Marshals and is at Citrus County Jail. He'll be transferred to a juvenile facility at Miami-Dade's Metro West Detention Center by July 10. Mental health evaluation ordered. September 8 trial date holds.This episode tracks the legal architecture behind the delay, the moment the Bail Reform Act replaced the juvenile framework, what Torres's own words reveal about what he saw in those sealed filings, and the reality of preparing for a life-sentence trial from inside a detention facility.Anna Kepner was eighteen. Her stepbrother is charged with first-degree murder.

Timothy Hudson met every condition of his release for months. No violations. Total compliance. And a federal judge just said none of it mattered — not against what he was reading. Anna Kepner's accused killer is behind bars.Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres had released Hudson in February and held the line through prosecution pressure and public outcry. As recently as May 27, Torres kept him free after a hearing. The defense's argument was simple and, on paper, true: Hudson had done everything right. Then on June 8, prosecutors filed sealed supplemental evidence. Two days later, Torres wrote an order revoking Hudson's release — and the language was devastating.Torres described the government's evidence as “beyond clear and convincing.” He wrote about “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse” and the concern that Hudson could “snap at any time, despite the well-meaning and serious efforts of his caretakers.” The alleged crime — committed against a household member inside a shared private space — was exactly the kind of danger that home detention is least able to address.Hudson surrendered to U.S. Marshals and is being held at Citrus County Jail. Transfer to a juvenile facility at Miami-Dade's Metro West Detention Center is ordered by July 10. A mental health evaluation is underway. The defense's strongest pretrial argument — compliance — is now legally dead.This episode covers why the system took this long, what changed when the case moved from juvenile to adult prosecution, what the sealed filing appears to have done to Torres's calculus, and what September 8 looks like for a defendant preparing from custody.Anna Kepner was eighteen years old.

The defense has seen the FBI reports. They've seen the forensics. They've seen whatever is in the autopsy report the Miami-Dade medical examiner won't release to the public. And after reviewing all of it, they're not asking for more time. Anna Kepner's trial starts June 1.Timothy Hudson, the sixteen-year-old stepbrother accused of killing Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon, signed a written waiver requesting adult prosecution — giving up a bench trial for a jury. His defense team accepted the Speedy Trial Act timeline with barely three and a half months of preparation. In most federal cases carrying life sentences, the defense asks for a year. The fact that they're sprinting might tell you something about what they found in that discovery package.If there are forensic gaps, timeline inconsistencies, anything that creates reasonable doubt — you force the prosecution to go now, with what it has, rather than giving it twelve months to shore up weaknesses. That's textbook. But this episode goes beyond the legal chess. What will jury selection look like after seven months of media saturation? What is in that autopsy report? What will the defense theory actually be? And what will the jury never hear because federal rules of evidence filter it out?The trial is almost here.

When investigators went through the wreckage, they found that the worst destruction wasn't always explained by the strength of the storm. It was traced to something far more mundane: the connectors, the joints, the foundations. The hardware that held the structure together when the pressure arrived. Out of that came the Miami-Dade construction standards, some of the most rigorous building codes in the United States. Heather opens this solo episode with that story for a reason. After spending months speaking at industry events, running the AI Ambassador Programme, and watching property managers at every scale wrestle with AI adoption, she sees the same pattern: businesses are buying tools without building the foundations that determine whether those tools will hold up. The AI storm is already here. The question is what your connectors look like. This episode is a candid, honest look at why the AI gap in short-term rentals is getting wider, where people are actually learning about AI and what each source is good for, why team learning matters more than individual effort, and a simple three-question filter for evaluating any new AI tool. It also includes a practical foundation idea borrowed from Will Guidara's Eleven Madison Park, and a story about an operator who finally got moving when she stopped trying to learn more and started building one small thing.  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This case was supposed to be in front of a jury by now. Instead, it's in pieces.Courtney Clenney has been sitting in a Miami-Dade jail cell since August 2022, charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli. She says she acted in self-defense. The prosecution says the physical evidence contradicts her account. And every time this case gets close to trial, something else collapses.The April 27th trial date fell apart when roughly 15 to 16 Williams rule witnesses — people the state needs to establish a pattern of violent behavior — failed to appear for depositions. Before that, a judge suppressed most of Obumseli's secret recordings. Before that, the lead prosecutor stepped down after reportedly accessing privileged defense communications, including what court filings describe as the defense's own trial strategy outline. Before that, charges against Clenney's parents were dropped because the evidence behind them was obtained through a privilege violation.The defense is armed with Dr. Lenore Walker, the psychologist who coined Battered Woman Syndrome, ready to testify that Clenney fits the profile. The prosecution has a medical examiner's finding that reportedly contradicts Clenney's account of throwing the knife from across the room. Both sides are now targeting August. The judge has warned this is the final continuance.Jury selection is going to be critical. Every potential juror will be able to search Clenney's name and find a woman who made millions from OnlyFans, built her career on her image, and was caught on courtroom cameras making faces before her own murder hearing. How a jury reads her as a person — not a case file — could shape the outcome as much as any evidence.Christian Obumseli's family is still waiting for accountability. Courtney Clenney is still waiting for a trial. This episode breaks down every fault line and what to watch when a jury is finally seated.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
