I vårt mest långsiktiga avsnitt hittills går vi igenom varför krig ofta tar en stund innan de kommer igång. Och varför det är viktigt med långsiktighet. Och varför långsiktighet är svårt. Du hör, det blir mysigt.Per inleder med att beskriva andra världskriget som en längre period av stiltje, vilket det var för svenska skattebetalare om man utgår ifrån perspektivet ”Oj! Frankrike föll! Men visst fan, jag ska hantera barnen, länsman är efter mig och patron driver in skulder”. Mattis är lite mer materialistisk och går igenom vikten av lager – både vad beträffar män och materiel – samt varför dessa är svåra att skapa och upprätthålla både i fred och i krig. Patroner får som vanligt våra manus och i slutet kan det finnas en poäng att ta en titt på dem för att hänga med i Mattis sifferrabblande.Dessutom: hämta/lämna-problematik under brinnande världskrig, stridsvagnen ingen ville ha, tyska missräkningar, Maj-Lis martyrium, exakt alla siffror, IB 66 äreräddas, vapenbeställningar som rann ut i sanden, en småstressad Per-Albin, och mycket mer!Support till showen http://supporter.acast.com/krigshistoriepodden.

Kamēr skaidrības, kas tālāk notiks Tuvajos Austrumos, sākam ar ziņu apkopojumu no turienes. ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps turpina runāt par drīzām karadarbības beigām, tajā pašā laikā draudot īstenot Irānā sauszemes operācijas. Pašās Savienotajās Valstīs viņa politika kļūst arvien nepopulārāka. Ungārijā jau pēc divām nedēļām būs parlamenta vēlēšanas. Spriedze ar partneriem Eiropas Savienībā pieaug, un Briselē neslēpj, ka Viktora Orbāna atkārtotas ievēlēšanas gadījumā meklēs risinājumus, kā mazināt viņa destruktīvās rīcības ietekmi uz kopējo Eiropas politiku. Spriedze pieaug arī Čehijā, kur daļā sabiedrības vairojas neapmierinātība ar Andreja Babiša vadītās valdības darbu. Nedēļas nogalē Prāgas ielās izgāja simtiem tūkstoši protestētāju. Aktualitātes komentē vēstures zinātņu doktors Ojārs Skudra un portāla LSM.lv ārzemju ziņu redaktors Ģirts Kasparāns. Kamēr karalis karā… Irānas kara ratiem ieripojot otrajā mēnesī, konflikta iespējamais fināls joprojām paliek sprādzienu dūmos tīts. Savienoto Valstu un Izraēlas aviācija kopš karadarbības sākuma esot veikusi pavisam 11000 triecienu pa Irānas teritoriju, šobrīd aktuālākie mērķi esot ieroču ražotnes un noliktavas. Tikām arī irāņu raķetes un lidroboti turpina trāpīt mērķos Irānas kaimiņvalstīs otrpus Persijas līcim. Vakar, 31. martā, tika ziņots, ka debesīs virs islāma republikas pirmoreiz parādījušies amerikāņu stratēģiskie bumbvedēji B52. Tas, acīmredzot, ir mājiens Teherānai, ka Donalda Trampa draudi bombardēt elektrostacijas un nu jau arī ūdens atsāļošanas iekārtas ir ņemami nopietni. Šobrīd ultimāta izpildes termiņš teorētiski pagarināts līdz 6. aprīlim, turpinās Pakistānas un citu reģiona valstu vidutājības mēģinājumi, bet nekas neliecina par ajatollu režīma gatavību piekāpties viņiem izvirzītajām prasībām. Netiek izslēgta arī iespēja, ka Teherānā nav tik viegli organizēties kādam sarunu procesam, jo daudzi agrākie varas nesēji ir likvidēti, bet atlikušie baidās pulcēties lielākā sastāvā, lai nekļūtu par kārtējā gaisa trieciena mērķi. Irānai izvirzīto prasību galvenie punkti ir Hormuza blokādes pārtraukšana, pilnīga atteikšanās no urāna bagātināšanas, nozīmīgi ierobežojumi ballistisko raķešu skaitam un darbības rādiusam un atbalsta pārtraukšana Irānas satelītspēkiem reģionā – kustībām „Hamās”, „Hezbollah” un Jemenas hutiešu nemierniekiem. Tikām vakar, sarunā ar žurnālistiem Baltajā namā, prezidents paziņojis, ka Savienotās Valstis izbeigšot karadarbību, kad būšot skaidrs, ka Irāna vairs nav spējīga izgatavot kodolieročus, pie tam kāda vienošanās ar Teherānas režīmu šādā gadījumā neesot obligāti nepieciešama. Savukārt „TruthSocial” ierakstā, uzrunājot NATO sabiedrotos, Baltā nama saimnieks paudis, lai šie paši saņemoties drosmi un ejot atbloķēt Hormuza šaurumu – amerikāņi viņu vietā to nedarīšot. Tā nu tagad globālajā publiskajā telpā aktīvi tiek apspriesta iespēja, ka Savienotās Valstis varētu pamest pusratā visu, kas ievārīts, lai Persijas līča un Eiropas partneri, tā sacīt, mēģina izstrēbt. Tikmēr pašās Savienotajās Valstīs un arī šur tur citur pasaulē 28. martā risinājās akcija „Nē karaļiem 3”, kad, pēc organizētāju ziņām, 3300 demonstrācijās piedalījās pavisam astoņi līdz deviņi miljoni protestētāju, kas varētu būt vēsturisks rekords. Tiek ziņots, ka protestu ģeogrāfija izvērsusies arī tradicionāli republikāniskajās pavalstīs un ārpus lielajiem urbānajiem centriem, apliecinot, ka arī tur spēkā pieņemas nepatika pret administrācijas politikas izpausmēm – pašreizējo karu, kas izraisījis cenu kāpumu, imigrantu ķērāju patvaļu, kam jau ir upuri, un visu pārējo, kas tiek raksturots kā neadekvāta varas lietošana un virzīšanās uz autoritārismu. Kliedzošā Prāga mazākumā Sestdien, 28. martā, Prāgā, Letnas parkā, pulcējās kārtējā daudzskaitlīgā demonstrācija. Pasākuma rīkotāju, kustības „Miljons mirkļu demokrātijai” iepriekš lēstie četrsimt tūkstoši gluži nē, bet vairāk nekā divsimt tūkstoši noteikti. Iemesls ir Čehijas sabiedrības daļas neapmierinātība ar pagājušā gada nogalē izveidotās premjera Andreja Babiša valdības un tās pārstāvētā parlamenta vairākuma politiku. Babiša labēji populistiskā partija ar nosaukumu „JĀ 2021” pagājušā gada oktobra vēlēšanās ieguva nepilnus 35% balsu un lielāko parlamenta frakciju. Valdības izveidē bloķējoties ar galēji labējiem nacionālistiem, partiju „Brīvība un tiešā demokrātija” un tāpat labējo un populistisko „Automobilisti paši sev”, kuras kredo, kā liecina nosaukums, ir auto īpašnieku intereses. Viena no protestus izraisījušajām koalīcijas iecerēm ir sabiedrisko raidorganizāciju finansēšanas modeļa maiņa, atceļot līdzšinējās abonēšanas maksas, kas, protams, ir pa prātam daļai sabiedrības. Tā šie mediji kļūs atkarīgi no varas finansiālas labvēlības un tos var mēģināt pakļaut politiskai kontrolei vai vājināt un marginalizēt, kā tas jau noticis kaimiņvalstī Slovākijā. Tur pēc premjera Roberta Fico valdības reformām sabiedriskās televīzijas auditorijas daļa ir sarukusi līdz nepilniem 12 procentiem, kamēr populārākajam komerckanālam tā ir lielāka par 30 procentiem, otram populārākajam – lielāka par 20 procentiem. Citi protestu motīvi ir plānotā atbalsta samazināšana Ukrainai, tendence konfrontēt ar Briseli bēgļu politikas un vides politikas jautājumos, gatavotais ārvalstu aģentu likums, kas paredzētu ārvalstu finansējumu saņemošām nevalstiskajām organizācijām obligātu reģistrēšanos. Vēl viens sabiedrību saniknojis parlamenta vairākuma solis ir imunitātes noteikšana premjeram Babišam un parlamenta apakšpalātas priekšsēdētājam Tomio Okamuram. Pret Babišu šobrīd izvirzītas apsūdzības lietā par krāpnieciskām darbībām ar Eiropas Savienības subsīdijām apmēram divu miljonu eiro apmērā, savukārt pret Okamuru – par naida runu. Tomēr šobrīd nešķiet, ka pie varas esošie grasītos piekāpties sabiedrības spiedienam. Valdošo partiju reitingi, salīdzinot ar vēlēšanu laiku, nav īpaši kritušies, un Babišs un viņa līdzgaitnieki var noraudzīties uz protestētājiem kā uz skaļu mazākumu. Viņa valdības drošie balsti šobrīd ir laucinieki, pensionāri, seniori, mazāk izglītotā un sociāli mazāk nodrošinātā sabiedrības daļa, kurā zeļ nepatika pret imigrantiem, Eiropas zaļo kursu un visādiem „progresīvajiem”. Budapeštas – Kremļa ļoti karstā līnija Ungārijas līdera Orbāna un viņa demokrātiju traumējošā režīma īpaši „siltās jūtas” pret Kremli jau sen nevienam nav nekāds noslēpums, taču nesen atklājušās detaļas liecina, ka šīs attiecības ir bijušas nepiedienīgi karstas. Gadiem ilgi par runāto Eiropas Savienības ārlietu ministru sēdēs Vladimirs Putins, domājams, nereti ir uzzinājis agrāk nekā dažs labs savienības valsts galva. Viņa informators bijis Ungārijas ārlietu ministrs Pēters Sijārto, kurš agresorvalsts ārlietu resora vadītājam Lavrovam operatīvi zvanījis šo sanāksmju pārtraukumos. Tagad, kad šī nelāgi dvakojošā patiesība beidzot uzpeldējusi izdevumā „Washington Post”, atklājas, ka citu valstu ministriem bijusi vismaz diezgan skaidra nojauta par Budapešatas kolēģa infonoplūdēm. Tāpēc jau kopš kāda laika iedibinājušies šaurāki formāti, kuros apspriest svarīgākos drošības jautājumus bez Ungārijas: t.s. Veimāras formāts – Vācija, Francija un Polija; E3 formāts – Vācija, Francija un Lielbritānija; E4 – visas četras iepriekšminētās valstis; līdzīgi savu tradicionālo formātu šim nolūkam sācis izmantot Ziemeļvalstu un Baltijas astotnieks. Vakar. 31. martā, jaunas krāsas Ungārijas ārlietu dienesta un visa Budapeštas valdošā režīma ārpolitiskās degradācijas stāstam pievienoja ungāru neatkarīgā izdevuma „VSquare” publikācija, tapusi sadarbībā ar vēl vairākām izmeklējošās žurnālistikas komandām, tai skaitā „Delfi Estonia”. Izrādās, Ungārija pēc Kremļa lūguma atsvabinājusi no Eiropas Savienības sankcijām vairākas personas, tai skaitā uzbeku izcelsmes Krievijas oligarha Ališera Usmanova māsu. Procesam piesaistīta arī Slovākija, tomēr ar pašu Ališeru, kā arī vēl vienu krievu oligarhu Mihailu Fridmanu šis gājiens nav izdevies. Pasūtījumu no Sergeja Lavrova pieņēmis, jau atkal, Sijārto. Visas šīs atklāsmes nāk Viktora Orbāna valdīšanai visneveiksmīgākajā brīdī – tieši pirms 12. aprīlī paredzētajām vēlēšanām, kad varas partija „Fidesz” reitingos acīmredzami atpaliek no galvenā konkurenta – jaunā politiskā spēka „Tisza”. Uz skandālu režīma vadoņi reaģējuši īsti savā garā: Sijārto paziņojis, ka šāda sazvanīšanās starp ārlietu resora vadītājiem esot parasta lieta, bet pēc tam viņš, Orbāns un citi valdības pārstāvji mēģināja pavērst situācijas vērtējumu pretējā virzienā, ceļot brēku par to, ka ministra telefonsarunas pārtvertas. Pret „VSquare” žurnālistu Sabolču Paņi ierosināta krimināllieta par spiegošanu Ukrainas labā. Savukārt, kā aizvakar vēstīja izdevums „Politico”, Briselē jau gluži atklāti spriež, kā neitralizēt Orbāana faktoru, ja šis autoritārists paliks pie varas arī pēc 12. aprīļa. Tiek apcerētas dažādas iespējas, sākot ar „dažādu ātrumu Eiropas” modeļiem, beidzot ar hipotētisku Ungārijas izslēgšanu no savienības. Tiesa, neviens no šiem variantiem nav viegli un vienkārši īstenojams. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.  

In this episode, Gary Jenkins, retired intelligence detective, sits down with veteran true crime authors Frank Gerardot and Burl Barer to examine their book Where Murder Lies, a case that intersects Russian organized crime, Italian mob connections, and a troubling claim of wrongful conviction. At the center of the story is Jimmy Kitlas, a young man who struggled with learning disabilities and instability after aging out of a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. Facing homelessness and limited options, he gravitated toward individuals connected to the Russian mob, seeking protection and belonging. Instead, he was drawn into criminal schemes—including check fraud and drug trafficking—engineered by experienced mob figures who exploited his vulnerabilities. Frank and Burl provide historical context on the rise of Russian organized crime in the United States, particularly in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach. Unlike the rigid hierarchy of traditional Mafia families, these groups often operated through looser networks, engaging in lucrative scams such as gas tax fraud alongside Italian crime figures. The authors explain how these alliances blurred lines between ethnic crime groups and created new power structures within the American underworld. The discussion then shifts to the murder that reshaped Jimmy's life. What began as manipulation and grooming evolved into betrayal, jealousy, and ultimately violence. The authors detail how Jimmy's arrest followed a carefully orchestrated narrative that shifted blame onto him while shielding more powerful figures. Through examination of court records and transcripts, Gerardot and Barer argue that investigative failures and prosecutorial decisions compounded the injustice. 0:02 Introduction and Guests 0:47 Wrongful Conviction Discussion 4:26 Kelly Lee’s Influence 6:33 Russian Mob Background 12:28 Jimmy Kitlas’ Journey 18:47 Investigative Challenges 22:58 The Murder Plot 26:45 Russian Mob Operations 28:29 Geographic Control in LA 31:29 Trust and Collaboration 35:03 Daniel Patterson’s Role 37:10 Conclusion and Book Promotions Hit me up on Venmo for a cup of coffee or a shot and a beer @ganglandwire Click here to “buy me a cup of coffee” Subscribe to the website for weekly notifications about updates and other Mob information.

[0:00] Hey, all you wiretappers, good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wire. This is Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, and I have two guests today. Frank Girdo. Is that correct, Frank? Girdo? That’s pretty good. Gerardot. I’ll take it. Gerardot. Gerardot. Just don’t pronounce a T at the end, right? Yes, sir. [0:24] And Burl Barer. Is it Barer, Burl? Yep, that’s close enough for government work. Joe’s enough for government work. That’s the story of my life, as everybody knows. I like to get it close. And we never let the real facts get in the way of a good story either. So let’s just get going here. We like to tell stories on this channel. That’s what my guys like is stories. [0:44] Stories about the Russian mob and maybe a little bit about the Italian mob. And we also got a story about a wrongful conviction, which is a kind of a hot topic right now. We’re seeing a lot of different things in these true crime shows about wrongful convictions. And there’s been, I think a lot of them have been uncovered. In the last few years because people started paying attention to that a little more than they used to. When I was a policeman, they didn’t pay any attention. Never heard of a wrongful conviction. I really congratulate you investigators and authors and true crime diggers out there that see these things and then go take a look at them because they need to be taken and given a look at. So Burl Baer is an Edgar winning author and two-time Anthony Ward nominee. He’s got a lot of experience in reporting. I see you’ve been in the Hollywood Reporter, even the London Sunday Telegraph, New York Times, USA Today. [1:38] You’ve got, I believe you’ve got some other, what else do you do, Burrell? I watch a lot of TV, watch a lot of movies. What kind of shows have you been on? You’ve done other investigations here. Yeah. I did almost, Frank and I have done most of those shows. Deadly Women, Deadly Sins, Behind Mansion Walls, you know, all. [1:57] Do you name them and claim them? We’ve probably been on them. All right. And Frank Gerardot, you’re a journalist, radio host. You’ve authored several true crime nonfiction books, co-author with Burl on A Taste for Murder, Betrayal in Blue. And you did one with somebody else named Byrne. Oh, that was about John Orr. And I read that book. Actually, I read that book, that John Orr. That was a hell of a story, man. That was a hell of a story. Several years ago. So that’s a, it’s a crazy thing. And that, that, that book really tells the story of John Orr through his daughter’s perspective. Ah, okay. And, and I don’t remember which one I read. I read one. I listened to a podcast about the whole thing all the way through guys. That was the LA County was an LA County fireman, fire investigator who was sat in his own fire all up and down in California. Oh yeah. He would go up North. He was in Southern California. He would go up north to a fire conference and he’d set fires on the way back. It was crazy, craziest story I ever read. And after he got arrested, the number of arson fires in California declined by 70%. I’ll be darned. I’ll be darned. He set brush fires, just all kinds of fires. It was crazy. Name of that book is Burn, Guys, if you’re interested in that by Frank Cardo. That’s the French pronunciation. Yes, sir. Yes. [3:18] So these two guys, they have their publicist, God Hold Me, and they introduced me to this book, Where Murder Lies. It is a fascinating look, and they did a real great examination of the Russian mob, a little connection to the Italian mob in New York City as part of this investigation into really a wrongful conviction case, a wrongful conviction of a kid who was, I guess we don’t use the word retarded anymore. He was mentally disabled and retarded in some manner. I’m not sure exactly how to describe that anymore. How would you guys describe him? So, yeah, I think he’s differently abled. We’ll say that. He’s actually a pretty smart guy. He speaks a lot of languages. He read this book in a night. [4:01] He just, I think more of his problem is that he’s maybe learning. He had learning difficulties. And as you’ll see when we get into the book here, he had a lot of physical and emotional trauma growing up. Okay. Jimmy Kittlis was his name. Yes. And a woman named… Kelly Lee. [4:22] A woman named Kelly Lee got you guys interested in this story. It’s a wrongful conviction story that strays into this mob ties. Who was she? Now, who was Kelly Lee? [4:32] I could tell you about Kelly Lee. She was one of the first people I met when I came to Los Angeles in November of 2003. Three, she was doing intake at Teshuvah, which is a Jewish community kind of rehab for people with all-matter recovery issues. I’d just been through a bad patch, et cetera. He needed some help. She did my intake. Wound up becoming friends with her and her husband. And a few years later, we’re having dinner together. She says, oh, Pearl, you’re a true crime writer. I go, duh, yeah. And she pulls out a handful of court transcripts that are difficult to get nowadays. Thank you. Says, take a look at this. She was, at the time this murder took place, what I would term an unlicensed pharmaceutical supplier on the streets of West Hollywood. Correctly. Gotcha. Marijuana, primarily. Yeah. And she had six arrests for selling pot, which now would probably get her a community service award here. Yeah. Times were different. And when Jimmy Kittlis ages out of the facilities or whatever down in Lake Elsinore. When he turns 18, they just put him on a bus with a ticket to West Hollywood. Goodbye. [5:49] And he gets off. He meets her. She’s a very compassionate person. She can see that this kid is really childlike. Babe in the woods or babe on the street, he’s really going to get taken advantage of. She takes him under her wing like a surrogate mom and tries to tell him and teach him how to survive on the street. And then she said, he’s like a child. Could be really eager to please, super polite, has the intentions man of a goldfish. Oh, look, there’s a castle. Oh, look, there’s a castle. It’d be very easily used. [6:28] It had a lot of sexual energy. He needed a girlfriend. He got one and got her pregnant. And she really tried to help these kids, But she couldn’t be with him 24-7 And she certainly raised her eyebrows When she saw who was spending a lot of time With this couple And that was a well-known fellow In the Russian mob, Yeah, I read that So let’s talk a little bit about the Russian mob So you guys really went in the background When they first came to Brighton Beach Tell the guys a little bit about that background. [7:02] Yeah, sure. As the Soviet Union began to crumble, a lot of Russian Jews found their way to New York, and they found their way to Brighton Beach. And they set up a sort of black market trading system among themselves and within the community with all the sort of standard features of mafia, right? Protection, extortion, sometimes murder, certainly dealing in black market stuff like drugs. [7:32] Clubs, prostitution, just about every kind of crime you can think of happening in a neighborhood that’s protected by a mafia. These guys were controlling in this neighborhood of Brooklyn called Brighton Beach. What I thought was interesting, and readers will probably find interesting too, is that there’s not a real setup like a commission or families. The Russian mob really operates more like Ronin. There’s guys that just independent operators and build up their business based on their relationships and how many people they can pull into a scheme. What we also found is that these guys were pretty adaptable and they picked up on a scam that the Lucchesis and the Gambinos were operating. And that was to get gas, steal it, take it from places where it wasn’t really tracked and put it into gas stations, sell it for maybe a penny less than the guy across the street, but capture the tax, the federal excise tax money and pocket it. And this was a multi-million dollar scheme And to the fine-tuning of it The Russian mob, Worked with guys like Michael Francesi To really extract as much as they could from it One of the guys in our book. [9:00] Meyer Ida, who was in Brighton Beach and operating there, came to Los Angeles in the mid-90s and started up the gas tax scheme. But the feds were pretty wise to it at that point, and he got caught up in the sting. Interesting. If I remember right, some of them were, they couldn’t steal it, but they would set up companies, shell companies, and then buy gas and then sell it a little bit cheaper. And it was up to them to collect the tax and then pay the state. And they do this for a certain period of time. And then they just declare file bankruptcy or just walk away from that shell company and create another little LLC and do the same thing. So just like run after you just couldn’t catch up. You bust out of one and move on to the next one. And that’s what they and you could they change the laws for gasoline purchase changed as a result because you could just go buy it. You can make up a company today, buy it tomorrow, sell it on Thursday, collect the tax on Friday, and bail out on Saturday and start all over again next week. Wow. Wow. There’s a scam. There’s a mob that’s willing to take advantage of a loophole like that. It’s crazy. So they moved out to LA. What other kind of scams? Go ahead. Go ahead, Brett. I was going to say that the Russians were so good at this type of scam, far ahead mentally of the American Mafia. [10:29] They were the best people they ever worked with. They were geniuses. They knew how to do this unlike any other. And in fact, the gas tax scam, the biggest moneymaker for the Russian mob and eventually the American mafia than any other form of income, billions of dollars. Interesting also is that if the former Soviet Union, should probably know, they factor in the Russian mob in their economy. I believe the last figure was 63% of the GNP of Russia was crime. They actually give a figure for it. Here we go. In America, this percentage of our federal income is from crime, but in Russia, they do. 63%. I don’t know what it is in America, But we talked to this Stan, who’s never going to pronounce his last name. And he had been in the Russian mob ever since he was a kid, raised in it. [11:32] And so that’s just what we were brought up with. We didn’t think there was anything unusual. If you were a girl, you were going to be a sex worker. They were respectable. If you were a guy, you were going to do this. And it was never as bad or as evil as the Americans said it was. It was always, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming. coming. It’s so scary. I noticed you had a chapter titled Glassnose Gangsters. [12:00] I thought that was a pretty tricky title. I also read once that in Russia, they were so used to dealing with corrupt officials and running different scams that were in and around governmental agencies, like the tax collecting thing. They were so used to that, that they really refined this to a fine point than Americans could, because we’re not so used to dealing with corrupt officials. We have some, but not like Russia. Russia was an art in Russia. [12:28] Yeah, and they just took the template and brought it right over here and started earning pretty quickly. So now, how does Jimmy Kittlis, he’s a street kid. He’s one of these, what I call throwaway kids. We have this group of kids on the streets that are 18, 19, 20, use drugs. And lots of times these older men who are gay want to pay him for sex or bring him in and take care of him. Was he one of those kids? Did he get into that kind of a lifestyle? [13:02] He’s a homeless kid. He’s a runaway. And the place that he goes to, Hollywood and West Hollywood, is full of people that want to exploit young boys. Yeah. The lifestyle that he got into, though, was I think he recognized that there would be, people there who were stronger than him and smarter than him and want to take advantage of him. And so he sought out ways to hook up with mobsters because he figured that if he was connected, that would protect him from some of the bad stuff that might happen, especially like sexual exploitation. [13:41] When he goes into a homeless shelter, he peripherally knows about Mark. He asks around about Mark, who’s a Russian mobster. And the homeless shelter introduces them and says, oh, hey, yeah, Jimmy here would like to do some work with you. And so he falls into doing work with Mark and let the scamming begin, as they say. Interesting. Yeah. I read the book how he was, he had such a facility to learn language that he learned Russian pretty quick. And he had other languages. Just one of those people that just could start picking that up. Me work like hell, and I can’t have one conversation, but somebody like that, they just pick it up. I understand he picked up Russian pretty quick, too. Very quickly, and to this day, speaks it pretty well. And that got him some cachet. [14:30] But that only goes so far because, Gary, these guys that come in at a low level and aren’t Russian are really just mules. And that’s really what Jimmy was. He was a mule. Mark’s specialty was Czech forgery. and check washing. And he taught Jimmy how to take envelopes and get checks out of them, change who the check was written to or the amount that the check was drawn for, and go to various banks and cash those checks. And Mark was a pro at it. He had equipment to do it. He knew how the scam worked. He knew that you don’t go to the same bank three days in a row. You go to a couple of different banks and that’s how they got by day to day. [15:18] Interesting. Yeah, I worked one of those little scams once, a little group of people that were doing that. They could have a process that can wash some of the ink off of a check and then put and change the amount and those kinds of things. They’d work, they’d go to grocery stores on paydays. People used to take their grocery, their checks to put grocery stores on paydays plus banks. So it’s a pretty good moneymaker that needs little guys like this to go out and cash the checks while the bad guy sits back and provides the checks and takes most of the money. So it’s interesting. Yeah. And that’s exactly what Jimmy was, the little guy that cashed the check. [15:57] I want to interject something here. Now, Mark was, as Jimmy said, he looked like a Russian mobster. He was a Russian mobster. However, what Jimmy didn’t realize is that the whole family, or most of the family, was involved. Mark’s uncle, Meyer ITF, also known as Mike, was a very prominent figure in the Russian mob in Los Angeles. The fans were very aware of him. He was, shall we say, a big shot. He was the godfather of Plumber Park here. He was the guy. Jimmy didn’t know that. He just knew about Mark. As you know in the book, sooner or later it becomes a situation involving a fortune in gold and smuggled MDMA that puts Meyer in federal custody. Meyer wants out of federal custody. Mark not only is a Russian mobster doing bank fraud, he’s also an FBI informant and a DEA informant and an informant of the Pasadena Police Department. [17:07] Frank says, according to the menu at a Chinese restaurant, going from column A to column B, how do I get my uncle out of prison? Solve a murder. Oh, what’s the easiest way to solve a murder? Plan it. Set it up. Blame it on someone, like maybe Jimmy. Final result, I’ll tell you, Meyer got out of prison. Jimmy went to prison. [17:36] Wow, that’s a hell of a story. Frank can give me more insight on that process, but that’s the short form on how this all winds up fitting together. Yeah, and you guys, when you went back, you had to go back. Could you be able to pull she had transcripts from the court so you could find out who testified were able to get any more information police department’s notorious for not allowing reports to go out i can’t even get them out of my own but and i bet it was really bad on that how did how’d you go about that how’d you start digging into this and get your first clues that you can tell you about trying to talk to the items about this yeah yeah so it’s like an onion i i look at it like that and we had early on kelly shared with us some of the trial transcripts so that’s pretty good yeah there’s a lot of information in there and it and within the trial transcripts there’s names and and dates and so we started picking at it and early on you know we couldn’t get cooperation from any of [18:40] the mobsters yeah we didn’t get cooperation from the fbi or the dea We were able to do some digging. [18:48] And I think the digging led to a congressional hearing on the Russian mob back in the early 90s. And Meyer Itev’s name pops up in that hearing. So from there, I started digging through federal court files using PACER and came across all kinds of court documents involving Mike and then his nephew for various scams they were involved in. [19:21] And then taking those court documents and continuing to research and talk to people and figure it out, we were able to lay it all out. It took us six years to do this, but lay out a narrative of who’s Mike, who’s Mark, who are they involved with, and what kind of things were they operating when Jimmy got involved. And where was everybody when this murder took place? And what we found out was that Mike was in federal custody and had been charged with involvement in a scheme to steal gold from a place in Massachusetts. And how the scheme worked is Mike and his buddy posed as government scientists who were building a nuclear reactor facility in a run-down apartment in Pasadena, California. And they were able to put in purchase orders for the gold and have it delivered to this apartment. And only when one of them misspelled sergeant on the P.O. And sent a fake check did the government catch on and arrest him. [20:37] When they brought him in and charged him with this, the first thing that these guys wanted to do was figure out how they could get out of it. They hooked up with a guy in Hollywood who was involved in a scheme. Yeah. To dissuade a reporter from writing about the actor Steven Seagal. And this guy, his name is Alex Proctor, went to Meijer and another man in our book, Daniel Patterson, and said, listen, can you help me? I need to knock off this reporter. [21:12] Daniel, as you’ll see from reading our book, is a pretty well-connected guy. He’s done some pretty interesting stuff, but murder was the limit of what he would do for anybody. He began to peel back some of the layers of that onion for authorities in that case. And that led to Meyer being in custody. And that was the catalyst for Mark and his other uncle, Gary, to try to figure out how can we get him out? And they believed that the government would let Meyer out of custody if they could inform on a big enough crime. Big enough crime probably wouldn’t be a burglary or a low-level assault or a battery. It had to be something significant. And then this murder happens. Wow. How did they choose this victim? I don’t know necessarily that they chose him, but this guy lived in the neighborhood where Mark and Jimmy hung out, and they essentially manipulated him into believing he was going to have sex with Jimmy’s girlfriend. And then manipulated Jimmy into thinking that, hey, this guy’s going to have sex with your girlfriend. Aren’t you upset by that? Doesn’t that piss you off? Don’t you think you should be a man and do something about it? Yeah. [22:39] Hormones, jealousy, rage, greed. It’s like there’s everything like comes together in this one moment. And we end up with this guy, Alex, who’s a school teacher, just ends up dying. [22:55] So they got motive and means and opportunity. They can manipulate Jimmy into providing all those for the investigated officers. Yep. Yeah. Wow. And, you know, and what, and what really the thing that really, I think, so there’s this event that happens and there’s a, there’s like part of this, there’s a locked door mystery that investigators encounter. But the other part of it is how after the crime, Jimmy was arrested. [23:27] Manipulated into going to a hotel as a hideout that was arranged for him by Mark and Gary Iteve. And as soon as Jimmy’s in the hotel, they park themselves outside and guide the police to the hideout where they arrest Jimmy and his girlfriend. I think I read that initially, after the school teacher was dead, they got in, was it Pasadena? One of the police departments got an anonymous call giving up the body, where it was, the murder, and the suspect. Only one anonymous call. And then they, and then, oh, my God, this was heinous. Let’s mention that locked door. Let’s mention this locked door. This was heinous, heinous. When the police get to the scene of the crime, and they noticed that the apartment does not show any forced entry. Living room, everything, it’s fine. Get to the bedroom, however. The door had been locked from the inside. Jimmy said when he left, he locked the bedroom door from the inside. This is now after the fact. Someone shows up and tries to get in. They can’t because the door’s locked. They want to get in real fast. And they finally get in, practically ripped the doorknob off to get in. [24:50] At the same time, let’s assume it might be the same person, Mark ITM uses the dead man’s telephone to call his lawyer to say, I want to report a murder that we could use to get my uncle out of prison. [25:07] Using the dead guy’s phone. Then after they arrange that, he cuts the wires and leaves. Also wiping the door, the doorknob clean. His fingerprints are in there because he acknowledges he was in the bedroom earlier when Jimmy put the unconscious, still-breathing fellow on the bed. [25:29] He leaves. Mark left, went out and told the girl. Jimmy killed the guy. But when he left, the guy was alive, breathing on the bed. He says, come down after in a minute. So then he tells the girl, we got to go because we’re going to get in trouble with the cops. What are we going to do? So it was a real mess. So to say, who killed this guy? Jimmy had to take full responsibility because he confessed to protect his girlfriend. Also, he felt bad about putting the guy to headlock and throw the old drunk guy to the ground anyway. But then again, how did Mark make a phone call to his lawyer and the dead man’s phone after all that happened? And after the doors ripped open in the apartment to the bedroom. Did he find the guy already dead? Or did he have to help finish the process? Legally, he was found not guilty. Mark was. Just like OJ was. Because did OJ do it? Did OJ not do it? Did he cover for his son? Whatever. But legally, he was not guilty. Same thing with Mark. Not guilty. Jimmy, guilty. Whether we killed him or not. [26:45] We can’t say. We weren’t there. Crazy. Crazy, isn’t it? [26:52] What other kinds of things was this crime family, this Russian mob family? It’s like a family. I’ve read about these. They’ll have that one strong man, and then you’ll have a group that kind of emanates out from that, but yet they’re not part of some larger group. They stand on their own. And so what else, what other kind of crimes were they involved in? Was this talking about MMDA being smuggled into those that’s a party? Rave kind of clubs yeah they one of the things that they did was make a counterfeit viagra one of the guys had a uh an idea to he bought some viagra and he had a plan to set up pharmacies where he could like order viagra through the pharmacy and like with the gas tax right don’t pay anybody have the viagra and sell it and then one of the other guys said that’s a waste of time I got a pill press. Just all we got to do is get the chemicals or some chemicals and put them together and press a bunch of Viagra pills and then we can sell thousands instead of tens. [27:54] And then the gold scheme, which we mentioned, and the MA, the list goes on and on. And within the community of the Russian diaspora, extortion, loan sharking, gambling, prostitution, all those means of making money were on the table and being used. They were familiar with the casinos here in LA, familiar with the how to operate prostitution rings and advertise the services. Very sophisticated group of guys. [28:29] Did they have a geographic area in which they were kind of like the ruling group? [28:35] So that’s the funny thing about LA. And we talk about this a little bit in the book, that LA’s never really had like a mob family. There’s no five families here. If you go back to the 1940s and 50s, there was a guy named Mickey Cohen, who was a mobster here in LA and with help started the casinos in Vegas. But there’s no turf here In LA, if you’re going to set up an operation You’ve got to find a way to work with some of the other mobs In Los Angeles, the Mexican mafia is very prominent And their operation is run out of the jails That’s where their leadership is in the jail and prison system And the soldiers are on the street And that’s where the drugs and prostitution are distributed at street level, operated from the jails. Guys like Meyer or people operating within those turfs, they got to work with the Mexican mob to make sure that they’re not crossing lines. And we chronicle some of that, especially with the MDMA smuggling in the book. [29:44] Interesting. Wow. Yeah. LA’s not really had that, like you said, that five families each has a geographic territory or even had one family, a guy named Jack Dragna, but it was really, it was open. LA was open city. We had a guy from Kansas City went out there in the 50s and fell in with some people out there. And, of course, from Tony Splatro and that Jimmy Fradiano, Jimmy Fradiano, these people from Chicago had some action going down in L.A., but no one mob family controlled L.A. And it’s spread out that you’ve got these neighborhoods over the place that I just wonder if they’re like a Brighton Beach kind of a place that where a lot of Russians had settled in. That was their neighborhood, at least where they did. They all live in one neighborhood. So, yeah, West Hollywood has a Russian enclave. And then there’s a park there called Plummer Park. That’s a gathering place for Russians in the neighborhood to get together and play chess and talk about what’s going on. I live in a neighborhood that has its own little enclave of Armenian mobsters. And their hangout is a donut shop. Yes, I’ve seen that here I have I was at a Starbucks up by the airport And I see these guys all ganged up together And they look like. [31:03] They’re Italians. They look like down at the social club down in the North End. I was retired by then. So I look at these guys. I call a friend of mine back down the intelligence unit. I say, I see these guys and here’s one of their license plates and it’s some kind of a limo service. And so, yeah, that’s our Albanian gangsters. They all hang out there at that Starbucks and then they go to the airport. They have these different things. They haul drug dealers back and forth. We are on to them. [31:29] That’s great interesting people ask Frank and I how is it that you get guys from the Russian mall or the fact with Betrayal in Blue who was a drug cartel guy or guys from the American mafia how do you get them to cooperate with you when you write these books I would like to stand whose name I can never pronounce with a whole section about the Russian mob, where he talks openly about it. And he says, because they trust us and anybody else, they want their story told truthfully. This is their legacy. They don’t want a bunch of BS about them in a book. If it’s been over seven years, they could talk about it. Unless it’s bank robbery, then it’s 10 years. We always tell them, don’t talk about anything you can be arrested for. Although, we’ll appreciate this because you’re doing this podcast. I was doing one, had this guest on, and all of a sudden he’s just talking about killing somebody. [32:35] I said, you can tell I’m kind of getting upset. Turns to his lawyers, he goes, what’s the statute of limitations on murder? Murder. Oh, my God. There isn’t one. Shut up. I have told guys that. I said, I’ll tell you something, dude. Do not tell me something I can’t live with. You can talk to me, but do not tell me something I can’t live with. You cannot trust me if you tell me something I can’t live with. And that’s the main one right there. Fortunately, they trust, People learned that they could trust Frank and I to be honest with them, direct with them, protect them if they need protection. I don’t know about the protection part. I’m not going to protect any. I’m with Jerry. Don’t tell me anything. Well, that’s what I mean. You tell them, don’t cross this line. That’s protection. Please tell them where the guardrails are. Yeah. It’s an interesting thing that we do. I’ve got some guys here and some guys around the country I’ve dealt with. And they reach out to you and they want to tell their story. I wish I could get more of them to want to tell their story. And they want to tell one thing I get criticized for. And it’ll be somebody that’s on YouTube, obviously in the know, and they’ll tell me how I got something wrong. [33:47] You deal with what you got. You deal with the newspaper articles and old court cases and things like that and try to get it right. But you can’t totally get it right. Of course, you don’t get it right as the way somebody else sees it, too. Everybody has a different take on the right story. I found out long ago, if you only rely on law enforcement, you’re not going to get the whole story. No, you got to go. Well, then you’re doing stenography. That’s what I always said. Yeah. Yeah. But it’s hard to get those people to open up, too. Man, it’s. Yeah. I was a reporter for a long time, so I’ve had some practice at it. And I’ve interviewed guys in prison. I’ve interviewed people who pre-arrest, during arrest, post-arrest. [34:26] And I’ve developed a way to talk to people that makes them comfortable. With Adam Diaz that Burrell mentioned in our book, Betrayal in Blue, this guy is a South American cartel member dealing cocaine in the United States. He went on the record and talked about his life doing that. [34:47] And the same thing in this book with Daniel Patterson. Daniel is quite a colorful character. And I interviewed him over five or six weekends about everything that he was involved in, up to and including the stuff that he did with the ITEVs. [35:04] Now, Daniel Patterson, explain who he was to the Russians. Sure. He’s basically a conduit for the Russians. He’s a guy who knew how to make money more legitimately than they did. He had the pill press. he explained the gold scam how to operate the gold scam how to write po’s how to like add a veneer of legitimacy to their business and and make more money by doing that yeah it’s like the scam emails you get you see the misspelled words they greet you in some archaic way this is a scam this guy could take all that out of it and right i always love it without warning people i want to worm. If the woman on the dating site says, I am so-and-so by name, they’re Nigerian. But if you tell them that, then all the Nigerians will stop telling them, I’ll stop using that. But if it says, I am Sally by name, they’re Nigerian. Even if they say they live in your hometown, they’re Nigerian. Good clue. Good clue. You guys hear that out there? [36:12] Yeah listen closely when you trip to one of these emails or one of these online things and you start talking to them they say my name is sally my name is nigerian hang up, how’s everything in nigerian click yeah. [36:31] Guys, I didn’t expect to get that kind of a great clue for my guys out there, but that’s a good one. I didn’t really realize that one myself. Yeah, I am Sally by name. Here’s your clue. Watch out. I was talking to a guy once, a friend of mine. He was talking about some girl that he met online, of course, through Facebook. And he said, she told me she just thought I looked interesting and sounded interesting from my Facebook. And I said, what’d she do? He said, I think she’s legitimate. I said, what’d she do? She’s an entrepreneur. I said, dude, dude. On. Dude. Model and entrepreneur. Yeah. [37:10] Okay. This has been great. Frank Girardeau and Burl Baer. B-A-R-E-R. Yes.

OJ's 1998 live meltdown exposed: Chris Myers recounts the chilling "Are you capable of killing?" question, OJ's evasive pivot, defensive slips, and moments that made him look guilty AF! Rare insider breakdown w/ Kato Kaelin.OJ's infamous 1998 ESPN "Up Close" interview—where he got agitated, defensive, and appeared straight-up guilty under intense live questioning—is dissected in this exclusive Tom Zenner Scandal episode. Chris Myers reveals the tension: the fiery "Are you capable of killing?" exchange (OJ: "no... but if danger to my kids"), domestic violence photo reactions (veins popping, weird excuses like "full of beans" and bad lighting), the "if I did it... because I loved her very much" hypothetical slip, OJ's charm attempts (golf invite mid-break, sarcastic exit), and how he prepared with detectives, lawyers (Petrocelli, Bugliosi), and Bill Murray's advice—calling it "chilling" and one of his toughest.We break down why this rare post-trial live sit-down made OJ look more guilty than ever, despite denials. Viewers decide: Did he crack under pressure?

OJ has picked a movie that for erotic thrillers that's from Korea and has lesbians, so what could be better?  OJ picked The Handmaiden and we are on the edge of our seat.  Did Park Chan Wook make this as depressing as Oldboy?  Tune in and find out!!!!

In 1995, a film predicted POV recording technology, VR experiences you can buy on the black market, deepfake manipulation, police brutality caught on camera, and a society addicted to experiencing other people's lives through a screen. It starred Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, and was written by James Cameron. Almost nobody saw it.   Strange Days bombed at the box office, nearly destroyed Kathryn Bigelow's career, and has been virtually impossible to find ever since, as right now no streaming service carries it. But everything it warned us about has come true, and somehow the reality is worse than the fiction.   MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis make the case for why this is one of the most important sci-fi films ever made. We get into the SQUID tech that directly inspired Cyberpunk 2077's Braindances, the darkest plot device in sci-fi, Ralph Fiennes as the perfect cyberpunk noir anti-hero, Angela Bassett's tragically wasted career as an action star, the Rodney King and OJ parallels baked into the script, and a long conversation about how AI, social media, and surveillance culture have made this film more relevant than ever.   Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars in 1995 and called it a future cult classic.

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former Miami Dolphins receiver OJ McDuffie joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper for a wide-ranging conversation about football, baseball, legendary coaches, and life after the game. OJ shares being named after OJ Simpson, those they don’t have the same exact names, his original passion for baseball at Penn State, and how Joe Paterno’s unique approach allowed him to play both sports. He reflects on his place in the Penn State baseball record books, and his “Welcome to the NFL” moment. The conversation dives deep into OJ’s NFL career with the Dolphins, including his experience playing for Don Shula, the stark transition to Jimmy Johnson, and what made Dan Marino one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. OJ also shares the incredible story of catching Marino’s 399th, 400th, and 401st career touchdown passes in the same game. OJ gets candid about the foot injury that ended his career, the difficult transition away from football, and how leaning on friends helped him find his footing. Today, he’s found a second act in media through The Fish Tank podcast, continuing to stay connected to the game and the city of Miami. It’s an honest, funny, and insightful look at a career shaped by legends—and what comes next when the game ends.

OJ Simpson wasn't black, “he was OJ”. That was the narrative OJ had pushed his entire career… right up until he found himself in the dock for killing his ex-wife and a waiter. Then suddenly OJ Simpson was practically MLK himself.Last week in our first part on “The Juice”, we told you how OJ Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. In Part Two, we're going to tell you how he went to trial, with all of the evidence stacked against him – and, with the help of the “dream team”, still got away with murder.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Orenthal James Simpson, aka “OJ”, aka “The Juice”: the single most famous man in American sporting history. By the early 90s he had not only established himself as the greatest American Football player who'd ever lived – but he had also transcended sport, turning himself into a charismatic advertising machine and national icon.However, in June 1994, it all fell apart – when he killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman in cold blood, leaving a trail of evidence and eventually going on a highly televised (but actually pretty slow) car chase. But somehow, he got away with it. Welcome to the most American thing since apple pie: the life of OJ Simpson, and his unquestionable guilt.
