    Jeffrey Epstein's Immigration Scam: Model Visas and Forced Marriages (Part 2) (8/16/25)

    Jeffrey Epstein's so-called “model visa” scheme was a carefully engineered system that used the glamour of the modeling industry as a cover to import and control young women, many from overseas. Recruiters—often women in his inner circle—lured victims with promises of fashion careers, sometimes backed by legitimate-looking modeling agencies and brand associations like Victoria's Secret. Once targeted, women were moved through a network of immigration loopholes, sham marriages, and legal paperwork that appeared legitimate to authorities. Epstein's connections to modeling agents such as Jean-Luc Brunel expanded his international reach, while his money paid for immigration lawyers, housing, and travel to keep the operation running without attracting suspicion. This infrastructure allowed him to maintain a steady supply of victims under the protection of legal status, making escape difficult and silence almost certain.The system thrived in the blind spots between law enforcement agencies, exploiting the fact that visa fraud and marriage records are rarely scrutinized unless tied to larger investigations. Even after Epstein's death, elements of this network remain intact: lawyers, recruiters, and agencies still in operation, and government files containing the hidden paper trail. Survivors face lingering consequences—fraudulent marriages, precarious immigration status, and the trauma of having their lives rewritten on paper to mask abuse. The scheme's success shows how predators can twist legitimate systems into tools of exploitation, offering a blueprint that could be reused unless those vulnerabilities are confronted and closed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

    Most of us think of scams as random or isolated or something that just happens to unlucky people. But what if the truth is far more organized, far more disturbing? Behind many of today's scams is a global web of criminal enterprises, structured like corporations and fueled by technology, data, and billions of stolen dollars. In this episode, we sit down with Ken Westbrook. Ken spent over three decades in the CIA before retiring, only to return to the fight after his own mother was targeted and lost most of her life savings to a tech support scam. That moment changed everything. He founded Stop Scams Alliance, a nonprofit on a mission to stop scams before they ever reach our devices. His approach? Building bridges between tech companies, banks, telecom, government, and consumer advocates to cut these criminal operations off at the source. Ken brings a rare blend of intel experience and personal urgency to this issue. He breaks down what's really going on behind the scenes, why the U.S. is falling behind in this fight, and how other countries are pushing back effectively. If you think this can't happen to you or someone you love, think again. This conversation is a wake-up call. Show Notes: [00:58] Ken is the founder and CEO of Stop Scams Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing scams in the United States. [01:21] They are focused on the left of the boom or before the scam happens. [01:43] Ken served for 33 years in the CIA.  [02:28] We learn how Ken's mother was scammed on Valentine's Day of 2023. He started looking into these scams, and he was horrified.  [03:19]  As a nation, we need to do better to defend ourselves. Ken came out of retirement to do just that. [03:32] His board of directors has a lot of government officials who decided to join the fight. We are literally under attack by foreign organized crime, and we're not doing enough to protect ourselves. [04:03] 21 million Americans are scammed each year. [04:45] The number of scam and fraud victims are increasing. [05:15] It's become a business, and the scammers are getting better at what they do. [06:36] How Chinese criminal gangs shifted from casinos to scamming operations. People join voluntarily or are sometimes kidnapped. [07:24] It's also expanding around the world. [10:12] The British government actually has a scam czar. So does Australia. They have a strategy and a fraud policy. [12:08] You think you're talking to the IRS or your bank, but you're not. [13:45] Having a whitelist for financial advertising. Other countries are finding value in authenticating, maybe the United States should pay attention. [15:36] Scammers love to get people on the telephone. In many countries, telecom companies will block spoofing calls from other countries.  [16:47] We need authenticated text messages in the US. [17:42] We have more companies and free enterprise, so it's more complicated in the US. [19:35] We need somebody in charge. It's an economic war with transnational organized crime. [22:34] Fake investment scams are the number one scam when it comes to losses. [27:46] Ken shares what happened in his mom's case. It was a tech support scam. His mom clicked on an obituary site and scareware popped up. [30:08] The whole point is to get you to call a fake 1-800 number that you think is Microsoft. [30:51] The Phantom hacker was able to look up where she banked by using her phone number. Then they put her in touch with the fake fraud department at the bank. [32:11] Then they sent her to Home Depot to buy gift cards and then cashier's checks. [33:55] Fortunately the banks intervened, but she still lost a lot of money. [36:38] We need to realize that we're being attacked by Chinese cyber criminals. [39:38] People under the age of 50 are falling victim to scams more than the elderly people. [41:31] The average loss last year of an older person was $83,000. Older people are being targeted because of their demographic. [43:31] Criminals micro-target just like advertisers. [44:04] We all need to be aware of the threats out there. If you get a call that you're not expecting, always assume it's not legitimate. [45:21] Be wary of links. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

    Beyond catfishing, romance scammers are moving in with victims and rewriting wills. Here, Pretend Podcast host Javier Leiva exposes their new playbook.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1195What We Discuss with Javier Leiva:Romance scams are so common that identical fake stories (architect in Indonesia, talking to Johnny Depp) are used with thousands of victims simultaneously, making them seem like urban legends.Scammers target vulnerable people by checking boxes: isolated from family, cognitive decline, terminal illness, government pension, loneliness. More boxes = bigger mark.Advanced scammers move in with victims, become caregivers, get named as estate executors, then move on to victim's elderly relatives when the person dies.Damage goes beyond money — victims often become unable to trust again and avoid relationships entirely, while family stress affects everyone for years.Watch for red flags: excessive early generosity, isolating behavior, urgent requests bypassing reasoning, password/financial access requests, sob stories.

    Original air date: July 11, 2025 Stephen Miller recently berated ICE officials in a private meeting, demanding that they hit supercharged new arrest quotas and steamrolling anyone who balked, reports The Atlantic. Yet in a surprise twist, the report also details that Miller's demands for maximum arrests are driving morale at ICE into the crapper. Importantly, what's irking ICE agents is precisely that the mission of arresting as many low-level offenders as possible is pulling them away from pursuing serious criminals. This brutally unmasks one of Trump's biggest scams: It demonstrates clearly that his mass deportations are not at all about public safety and are only about getting as many peaceful and noncriminal immigrants out of the country as possible. We talked to one of our favorite observers on this issue, FWD.us president Todd Schulte. He explains how all this reveals the soft underbelly of Trump's political strength, why MAGA is now addicted vile memes about shackling immigrants, and what ordinary people can do to effectively resist the coming horrors.

    We're fresh off the heals of our Colorado Rocky Mountain high, and we are still recovering. Susie talks about a man who read 3,599 books in his lifetime and kept an adorable handwritten list of them that is now available to all of us. A zoo wants you to know that if you have any "unwanted" pets that they'll take them off your hands and feed them to their predators, which is weird? A doctor might've killed a patient through music, and we think it's sad, but also the game he was playing sounds really fun. We hear why lots of people are getting their teeth fixed in Mexico, and Susie rants about insane reasons why our teeth aren't included on our healthcare plans, the reason dental insurance is the opposite of health insurance, and she wants to know why we have silent cars, but not silent dental drills.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Sundays should be for meditation and contemplation. Maybe going to the gun range for target practice. Saturday and the rest of the previous week are for podcasting... not; quickness is the essence of war,"  Sun Tzu Emphasizes the importance of strategic movement and speed in warfare. It suggests that by avoiding direct confrontation in areas where the enemy expects you and instead striking where they are unprepared, you can gain a significant advantage. This, combined with swift action, allows for the element of surprise and can overwhelm the opponent. Avoiding predictable patterns and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. It means understanding their deployments, intentions, and potential vulnerabilities, then positioning your forces to attack where they are least prepared. Cryptocurrency evokes greed, and people continue to fall prey to scams. If someone contacts you on WhatsApp, Instagram, or TikTok, promising massive returns, block them and keep your coins.
