230-Million dollars.  That's how much Trump wants to be compensated from the Department of Justice for criminally investigating him.  Trump says he's owed damages for the alleged Russian interference investigation in the 2016 Presidential election and for the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home related to the handling of classified documents. Trump says whatever money he gets he'll give to charity (Ballroom fund perhaps?)  Whatever number he wants, he will probably get because Trump and those in his administration trying to stay in his good graces will be responsible for approving a payout.John Rothmann, our presidential historian and political analyst is traveling but may be able to join us depending on his Internet coverage.  Get ready to save the world because "It's the Planet, Stupid!" with Belinda Waymouth is on the way.  The Mark Thompson Show 10/22/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

In June 2023, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $290 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein, who accused the bank of enabling and profiting from his sex trafficking network. The lawsuit alleged that JPMorgan knowingly ignored numerous red flags — including large cash withdrawals, suspicious payments, and Epstein's prior criminal conviction — in order to retain his lucrative business. Victims claimed the bank's failure to act made it complicit in sustaining Epstein's operation. The settlement, which did not include an admission of wrongdoing, was approved by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, marking one of the largest payouts ever by a financial institution tied to a human trafficking case.However, the deal faced backlash from 17 state attorneys general, including those from New Mexico, California, and the District of Columbia, who objected to the language of the settlement. They argued that its release terms were overly broad and could prevent state governments from pursuing future legal claims related to Epstein or other trafficking cases involving JPMorgan. The attorneys general warned that the agreement could unintentionally shield the bank from government enforcement actions under state or federal anti-trafficking laws. Despite their objections, Judge Rakoff ultimately approved the settlement, ruling that the release language did not infringe on the sovereign enforcement rights of states and that the agreement was fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the victims.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Fonterra has delivered one of its strongest results, with revenue up 15 percent, and 16 billion dollars in cash returns for shareholders. Tihoi Dairy farmer Richard Webber spoke to Alexa Cook.

US president Donald Trump made a fiery 56-minute speech at the UN General Assembly - well over the customary 15-minute time limit - telling world leaders their ‘countries are going to hell’ over migration and that climate change was a ‘con job’. The speech was delivered to a room of visibly unsettled world leaders and drew immediate global attention, triggering a flurry of fact-checking efforts. In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by Cory Alpert, from Melbourne University and a former Biden White House staffer, to explain if Trump’s speech was an attack on the United Nations. Afternoon headlines: ABC ordered to pay $150,000 fine for unlawfully sacking Antoinette Lattouf, calls for Optus CEO to resign as the telco is ordered to pay $100m fine for ‘predatory’ sales practices and Jimmy Kimmel returns to screens.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried's world has not quieted down nearly three years after the FTX cataclysm. This week, the biggest headline comes from the FTX bankruptcy estate, which just announced that a third round of payouts totaling 1.6 billion dollars will be distributed to creditors on September 30th, 2025. This marks a significant phase in the recovery operation after billions of customer funds vanished in the November 2022 collapse that sent shockwaves through global finance, a collapse made infamous by Bankman-Fried's own fraudulent mismanagement. The distribution rate for the victims now spans between 78 and 120 percent of their original holdings, according to the FTX Recovery Trust press release, raising new hope among some creditors while stirring frustration and envy among others left less well-compensated. The operation's logistics have become a watchword for the ongoing stability of the crypto market, with outlets like Cointribune and Crypto Briefing warning of potential tumult and security concerns as such a large sum floods the system in a single tranche.Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried's personal reality is shifting as well, though not in the way most might hope. He was recently moved from the notoriously harsh Victorville medium-security prison to the comparatively milder Terminal Island federal correctional institution in Southern California, confirmed by a report from Cointelegraph. While no official comment has been issued about his conditions, prison consultants differentiated the move as a reduction in daily security risk, but his 25-year sentence—for what one former U.S. Attorney described as “one of the largest financial frauds in American history”—remains unchanged. Talk of an earlier release is pure speculation at this point, despite a renewed flurry of rumors after Bankman-Fried's otherwise dormant X account sprang to life this week, mass-following dozens of profiles with no further public statement. That alone was enough to spark a transient rally in the FTT token, which briefly surged above one dollar before falling back. Some in the crypto world fantasize that these digital breadcrumbs might foreshadow a comeback or secret deal, but there is no confirmed evidence Bankman-Fried has access to funds; wallets believed linked to him now show mere pennies in value, while Alameda Research–related wallets are funneled straight into bankruptcy settlements.Sam remains a potent symbol and cautionary tale: a onetime crypto king whose web of deceit took out not just his own fortune and company, but faith across a whole industry. With the next wave of restitution and creditor emotions running high, Bankman-Fried's movements—both virtual and physical—remain the subject of intense scrutiny, rumor, and, occasionally, hope.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Zach returns after shattering his ceiling: $34K in prop-firm payouts in one month. He explains the flip that did it—moving from high-R/low-win models to negative risk-reward scalping on NQ (5–10 points, limit entries, fewer trades). We dig into how prop rules shape strategy, why high win-rate models fit prop better, platform preferences (Tradeovate vs Project X), Topstep for quick payouts vs bigger buffers on Tradeify, and the real cadence of payouts (they arrive in waves). Zack also shares his counter-intuitive risk curve (start aggressive to build buffer, then size down), how teaching his course sharpened his edge, and practical budgeting so hot streaks become income—not lifestyle creep.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off

Today's Headlines: Israel stirred up another front yesterday by striking Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar—right as they were meeting to discuss Trump's ceasefire plan. Qatar, not thrilled about the timing, has suspended its mediator role. The White House is insisting the bombing was Israel's call, not ours—though the optics are messy, given Qatar's status as a U.S. ally. Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily let Trump freeze $4 million in foreign aid while the Court takes up the case, and the justices agreed to fast-track Trump's appeal to reinstate tariffs that lower courts already ruled illegal. In other Trump court news, a federal appeals court upheld the $83.3 million defamation payout he owes E. Jean Carroll, calling the damages “fair and reasonable.” On the economy, Labor Department revisions show 911,000 fewer jobs created in the past year than first reported—the biggest downward adjustment since 2002. The Census Bureau also found that inflation wiped out income gains for most Americans in 2024, except high earners, while the gender pay gap actually widened. And finally, South Carolina Republicans are moving toward one of the harshest abortion bans with no exceptions for rape, incest, or fatal fetal anomalies, women potentially facing murder charges and even the death penalty for terminating a pregnancy. The bill will serve as a model for other states.

Send us a textWhat happens when a 20-year veteran of SEO and affiliate marketing picks up a fresh perspective? Unexpected revenue discoveries, that's what.In this episode, I share my honest review of "The Payout Mafia" by Neil C and James Dooley—a collection of insights from fifteen successful affiliate marketers. While I'm not typically drawn to the flashy "robbing the bank" portrayal of our industry, the book's substance quickly overcame my initial hesitation.The real value comes from seeing where these diverse experts (spanning SEO, paid acquisition, email marketing, YouTube, and webinars) align in their approaches and where they diverge. This compilation revealed a critical blindspot in my own business practices around data monitoring—a realization that led to an immediate $5,000 monthly revenue increase on just one of my sites through a simple merchant placement adjustment.Perhaps most fascinating is how the book highlights the necessity of automation in today's affiliate landscape. Several contributors emphasize building systems that surface important metrics regularly, allowing for nimble optimization even when factors outside your control (like a merchant's external advertising) affect conversion rates. Their collective wisdom reinforces that success comes from consistent data vigilance rather than sporadic attention.Whether you're new to affiliate marketing or have decades of experience like me, "The Payout Mafia" offers practical strategies worth far more than its modest price tag. It's a powerful reminder that in this industry, the learning never stops—and sometimes the most valuable lessons come from unexpected sources.Want to hear more insights like this?

According to court documents unsealed in early 2024, Virginia Giuffre (formerly Roberts) testified in a 2016 deposition that Jeffrey Epstein paid her $15,000 after she was trafficked to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew in 2001, when she was 17. Giuffre stated the money was given directly following the encounter in London, and it was presented as compensation for her involvement. Prince Andrew has consistently denied the allegations, saying he has no recollection of ever meeting Giuffre, despite the existence of the well-known photograph showing the two together.The revelation reinforced the transactional nature of Epstein's network—money being used both as bait and as a tool of control. It also underlined the extent to which high-profile figures were entwined in his operations, whether knowingly or not. Giuffre's testimony and the financial trail she described remain crucial in piecing together how Epstein financed and facilitated abuse, and why so many powerful individuals have fought to distance themselves from his name.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein 'paid Virginia Giuffre $15K to have sex with Prince Andrew at 17,' latest bombshell docs claim | The Sun
