    A newly surfaced June 15, 2009 letter from then-acting U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman showed that Jeffrey Epstein had repeatedly violated the terms of his extraordinarily favorable 2007 non-prosecution agreement, yet federal prosecutors in South Florida never exercised their explicit authority to tear up the deal and prosecute him. Sloman told Epstein's attorneys that there had been “several instances” in which Epstein breached both the letter and spirit of the agreement, with prosecutors ultimately issuing five warnings over roughly two years. The violations included Epstein's failure to make his promised state guilty plea within the agreed timetable, his lawyers submitting a proposed state plea agreement containing language that conflicted with the federal deal, interference with prosecutors' efforts to notify victims, delays in securing legal representation for victims, efforts to resist a subpoena for computer equipment that could help identify additional victims, and false or threatening representations concerning his eligibility for work release. The precise basis for the fifth warning was not spelled out in the letter. Sloman complained that whenever prosecutors confronted Epstein, his lawyers would claim that Epstein had merely relied on their advice, provide a superficial fix and then continue benefiting from the agreement until another violation occurred.What made the revelations especially significant was that Epstein's non-prosecution agreement explicitly stated that the breach of even one condition gave the United States the option to terminate the deal and investigate and prosecute Epstein and others for federal crimes. Despite documenting repeated violations, prosecutors did not do that. Sloman acknowledged in the letter that Epstein continued receiving the central benefit of the bargain, freedom from federal prosecution, while the government was not receiving the finality, conservation of resources, punishment and victim restitution that the agreement was supposed to produce. Asked in 2026 why the government had done little more than issue warnings, Sloman said he could not remember the specific reasoning, although he maintained that prosecutors had ultimately treated the matter as a state case and called approval of the deal a “bad call” rather than something nefarious. The documents therefore added another damaging layer to the history of the Epstein prosecution: federal authorities did not merely give Epstein an exceptionally lenient agreement, they apparently documented multiple occasions on which he failed to honor that agreement and still allowed the immunity arrangement protecting him and potential co-conspirators to remain intact.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein breached 2007 non-prosecution agreement five times, prosecutors did zip

    The episode centers on the inaugural Miami Koi Show, a high-end event designed to foster koi culture and education in South Florida. The organizers detail unique attractions, such as a banquet hosted on a yacht and a venue specifically engineered for aquatic displays, to highlight the "Miami flavor" of the competition. They address the logistical hurdles of launching a new show while expressing a desire to build a supportive hobbyist community that values quality Japanese fish. The conversation also explores the technical nuances of judging, the diverse categories of awards available, and the broader appeal of Miami's nightlife and biodiversity for visiting families. Key Takeaways: Look for simplicity in your solutions, as the most impactful ideas and designs are often the most straightforward ones hidden right in front of you. Focus on building a genuine community, because connecting with peers over shared passions creates much stronger, more lasting bonds than transactional relationships. Acknowledge and value the support systems around you, remembering that major achievements are rarely accomplished alone and rely heavily on the patience, creativity, and partnership of others. Expect the unexpected and remain adaptable, because even the most thoroughly prepared plans can face sudden, uncontrollable changes when it is time to execute. Do not let intimidation prevent you from participating, as there are opportunities for growth, recognition, and success at every level of your journey.

This special episode takes a closer look at the growing number of snook sightings and catches along the Northern Gulf Coast, from Northwest Florida to Coastal Alabama. Butch Thierry and Joe Baya are joined by Zoe Hendrickson, a PhD student at the University of South Alabama, to talk through why a fish once associated mostly with South Florida is now showing up around Pensacola, the Emerald Coast, Perdido Pass, Fowl River, and other local waters. Zoe explains how snook have expanded northward in Florida, how their movement into places like Cedar Key may help researchers understand what is happening in Alabama and Northwest Florida, and why warmer winters, shorter cold snaps, and thermal refuge in rivers may be helping these fish survive. The conversation covers how juvenile snook use rivers and deeper pockets of stable water, how adult fish may move seasonally toward jetties, flats, oyster reefs, and other saltwater habitat, and why the recent snow and cold events made their survival even more interesting. The episode also digs into what anglers should do if they catch a snook in Alabama or Northwest Florida. Zoe explains current tagging efforts, the importance of reporting sightings, why handling and releasing fish carefully matters, and why anglers may want to let these fish go while the local population is still developing. The group also discusses snook biology, including how they change sex as they grow, how slot limits work in Florida and Alabama, how snook may interact with native fisheries, and why this new opportunity comes with a chance for anglers to help shape the future of the fishery.

    When was the last time somebody stopped your line and you thanked them for it? Toyota built the andon cord into the line decades ago and most plants still treat pulling it as a failure. Dr. Michael Gillespie, organizational psychologist at the University of South Florida and co-author of Distancing with David Marquet, studies why the person closest to a problem is often the least able to see it. Being locked inside your own point of view is the default setting, not an occasional lapse, which is how five people can walk up to one stopped line and each honestly see a different problem. Nobody is lying. Everybody is immersed. Mike walks Trevor through the three moves that create distance, be someone else, be somewhere else, be sometime else, and shares the research on why higher performing hospital units report more errors rather than fewer. Trevor brings the plant floor version, including the moment he admits he spent years defending his own department instead of the whole line, and applies temporal distancing live to a month-end budget decision every operations leader will recognize. Ends with one exercise you can try tonight, and it sounds cheesy until you read the research behind it. A practical conversation about decision making, critical thinking, and manufacturing team leadership for plant managers, operations directors, and frontline supervisors.

    Ole Miss football bolsters its secondary with the addition of Edwin Joseph from Florida State, raising expectations for Pete Golding's defense ahead of a challenging opener against Louisville.

    This week, Jason is joined by The Real Housewives of Miami standout and Shoma Group president Stephanie Shojaee for a conversation about building massive wealth, growing a multi-billion-dollar real estate business, and why relentless ambition has been at the center of everything she has accomplished. The first-generation Colombian American opens up about growing up determined to become “filthy rich,” eventually helping lead a development company that has completed more than $6 billion in real estate transactions—and using reality TV as a platform to expand the Shoma brand globally. Stephanie breaks down how her approach to money changed after meeting her husband, Masoud, from focusing solely on earning and saving to investing, using debt strategically, and continuously putting capital back to work. She shares how her modern approach to branding and marketing helped increase Shoma's business by roughly 30%, while expanding its recognition beyond South Florida and into markets including Dubai. She also reveals the unforgettable $240,000 payday she earned after refusing to give up on a deal that fell apart three separate times. Jason and Stephanie also dive into her unconventional leadership style, including building Shoma's nine-person, all-women Latina marketing team largely with young hires straight out of school. Stephanie explains why she believes in discipline, tough love, and throwing employees “in the pool” to see whether they sink or swim—and why she has no problem moving on quickly when someone isn't the right fit. Plus, Stephanie gets candid about life on The Real Housewives of Miami, why she originally turned the show down for years, and why representing an ambitious, successful Latina businesswoman ultimately helped change her mind. She also shares the wild story of having more than $200,000 worth of belongings stolen from her villa in Cannes, her thoughts on prenups and combining love and money, and the luxury purchase that recently made her say, “Damn, that was expensive”—an Hermès bracelet costing upwards of $250,000. Stephanie reveals why putting on the blinders, eliminating distractions, investing rather than simply earning, and staying relentlessly focused on your goals have been key to her success. She also leaves Jason with a different kind of trading secret: after 15 years with her husband, never go to bed angry and never allow disrespect to become normalized in a relationship.

    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?"

During their engaging conversation, Robert opens up about his unconventional journey into the mortgage industry, beginning with his early days in car sales and banking. He candidly discusses the challenges he faced as a newcomer, revealing that he closed just $700,000 in loan volume during his first year, an experience that taught him valuable lessons about perseverance and growth. Through determination and a willingness to learn, Robert was able to scale his production dramatically, reaching an impressive $20 million in closed loans by his third year in the business. Now at the helm of Elite Lending, Robert has built a company where the average loan officer earns over $100,000 annually, a testament to the strong sales culture and supportive environment he has cultivated. He shares insights into his approach to leadership, including the importance of hiring new loan officers who don't bring bad habits from previous roles, and how he invests in their training and development to ensure long-term success. Robert also discusses his early adoption of social media as a powerful tool for business growth, explaining how it helped him expand his network and attract new clients in a competitive market. A key part of Elite Lending's success, according to Robert, is the development of proprietary technology that streamlines operations and enhances the client experience. He emphasizes the critical role of mindset, ensuring that every team member is aligned with the company's values and vision. Robert also highlights the significance of culture fit and operational planning, noting that these elements are essential for sustaining growth and maintaining high performance within the organization.

    Hour 2 features the latest from Dolphins training camp, where Miami continues quietly making roster moves as players are cut and new faces are brought in, reinforcing that the roster is far from finalized. Joe and the crew then debate whether the Marlins have reached their ceiling with their current roster and spending approach, when Miami will seriously invest to build a contender, why the team wasn't a buyer at the trade deadline, and whether an MLB lockout could be looming. Plus, Joe shares a story about an accidental garage sale, the guys talk about the first day of school across South Florida, and Caleb Douglas' strong start to camp before Hollywood's Headlines covers Jacob Wilson's MLB record, Ben Simmons' potential return, the changing Kyle Shanahan car accident story, a bizarre jury-duty scam, and a major Michael Jordan memorabilia sale.
