After Moriah Wilson’s murder in May 2022, Kaitlin Armstrong quickly became the prime suspect, and when investigators attempted to bring her in for questioning, she vanished. Within days, U.S. Marshals discovered she had sold her Jeep and used her sister’s passport to flee the country. What followed was an international manhunt that gripped headlines. Armstrong managed to evade capture for over six weeks, during which she traveled to Costa Rica. Authorities revealed that she had taken deliberate steps to conceal her identity, including altering her appearance with cosmetic procedures and using multiple false names while moving between hostels and yoga retreats.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Investigators focused on Kaitlin Armstrong, Strickland’s girlfriend at the time, after surveillance footage placed her SUV near the crime scene around the time of the shooting. Ballistics later matched Armstrong’s gun to shell casings found next to Wilson’s body. Authorities described the murder as a targeted attack driven by jealousy, believing Armstrong had tracked Wilson’s movements before confronting her. The brutal killing reverberated far beyond the cycling world, igniting headlines across the country as details of the love triangle, Armstrong’s subsequent escape, and Wilson’s tragic loss came to light.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Moriah “Mo” Wilson, a rising star in professional gravel and mountain bike racing, was murdered on May 11, 2022, in Austin, Texas. Wilson, who was just 25 years old, was visiting the city to compete in an upcoming cycling race and was staying at a friend’s home. That evening, she went swimming and had dinner with fellow cyclist Colin Strickland, a man she had briefly dated. Later that night, Wilson was found inside the residence with multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators quickly determined the killing was not random. Her death shocked the cycling community, as Wilson was considered one of the brightest young talents in the sport, with a string of high-profile wins and a promising future ahead of her.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn’t touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor’s system, exploiting the company’s appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor’s lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In his four-page letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Sean “Diddy” Combs expressed deep remorse and accepted full responsibility for the pain he caused others, especially his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another former partner. He admitted that his past behavior was rooted in selfishness, drugs, and excess, and directly confronted the violence caught on video, saying the images “play over and over in my head.” He acknowledged being “dead wrong” for putting his hands on someone he claimed to love, framing the letter as both a confession and an appeal for forgiveness.Combs also portrayed his time in jail as a turning point — physically, mentally, and spiritually. He wrote that he had become sober for the first time in decades, entered therapy, and acted as a mentor to fellow inmates. In asking the judge for mercy and leniency, he pledged that he would not reoffend and would commit himself to living as a peaceful, nonviolent, drug-free man, as well as a better father and son. His request was positioned as a plea for a “second chance” to demonstrate that he could change his life moving forward.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.527.0.pdf
At today’s sentencing hearing, prosecutors will be pushing for a much longer prison term, pointing to the seriousness of the charges, the harm done, and the wider pattern of behavior they say was laid out at trial. The defense, meanwhile, will argue for a shorter sentence, framing Diddy’s time already served, his public fall from grace, and efforts to show remorse as reasons the judge should go lighter.The hearing itself is expected to feature impact statements from victims, a personal address from Diddy, and possibly materials meant to highlight his family and philanthropic work. The judge will have to balance those competing pictures—on one side, a powerful entertainer accused of using that power to exploit others, and on the other, someone seeking leniency at the end of a career now in ruins. The final decision could fall anywhere between near-time served and a lengthy stretch in federal prison.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces sentencing after conviction on prostitution-related charges - ABC News
In their impact statement to the court, Cassaundra “Cassie” Ventura and her parents described the profound emotional toll that the alleged abuse had on Cassie’s life. They portrayed her as having lived under constant fear and pressure, feeling “trapped” in the relationship, and suffering from long-lasting trauma, anxiety, and emotional harm. They emphasized that the effects of the abuse did not end with the alleged event(s), but reverberated through her daily life, relationships, mental health, and sense of safety.They also urged the court to acknowledge not just the harm done to Cassie, but the ripple effects on her family — how watching her suffer, navigating legal and public scrutiny, and supporting her recovery have deeply impacted them emotionally and psychologically. Their statement sought to convey that justice is not merely about punishment of the alleged perpetrator but validation and recognition of the lasting damage that must be addressed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.516.1_3.pdfgov.uscourts.nysd.628425.516.2_4.pdf
In a recent interview, aspiring singer-songwriter Tanea Wallace recounted her experience at a 2018 party hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs, which she described as unsettling and traumatic. She claimed that upon arrival, guests were required to surrender their phones, and the atmosphere was marked by loud music and individuals engaging in various explicit activities. Wallace alleged that certain attendees, including herself, were invited to a more exclusive area of the party, where she observed behavior that left her feeling uncomfortable and concerned for her safety.Wallace further described seeing individuals she referred to as "little people" dressed provocatively, which led her to question the appropriateness of their presence at the event. She implied that some attendees might have been minors, though she refrained from making explicit accusations. These revelations have surfaced amid ongoing legal challenges faced by Combs, including allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Woman claims she saw minors dressed as 'Harajuku Barbies' at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Freak Off party

Harvard might get most of the heat for cozying up to Jeffrey Epstein, but the truth is they weren’t the only ones. Yale and other elite universities had no problem taking his money either, despite his reputation being no secret. These schools, the so-called moral authorities of the nation, were happy to look the other way because Epstein gave them access to wealth, prestige, and connections they craved. They didn’t care about ethics or victims—they cared about the checks clearing and the glow of being tied to “high society.” They polished up his image, let him act like a respected patron of science and learning, and in doing so, helped him regain legitimacy after his first arrest.Now they play dumb, acting shocked and appalled, pretending they didn’t know who he was. But it’s a performance. These universities weren’t fooled—they were complicit. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, all of them chased Epstein’s money, banking on silence and prestige to protect them. And the worst part is, they only “review” donor policies after they’ve been caught, not when it mattered. The mask is off now, and the hypocrisy of the Ivy League is plain as day: they weren’t just negligent, they were partners in giving Epstein cover.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein’s 2003 birthday album signed by three former Yale professors - Yale Daily News
The Wall Street Journal has uncovered that Epstein maintained accounts with more than 20 banks even in the years leading up to his 2019 death—among them, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, and FirstBank Puerto Rico. The documents show Epstein moved at least $60 million into Honeycomb Partners, received $13.5 million from a hedge fund tied to Paul Tudor Jones, and sold $15 million in private company shares to a crypto investor, among other large transactions. Although major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank say they cut ties (JPMorgan in 2013; Deutsche Bank in 2018), the Journal’s reporting suggests their associations with Epstein ran deeper than previously disclosed.Beyond banks, the reporting points to a broader financial network: hedge funds, private equity, venture capital firms, and prominent individuals who moved money to or from Epstein‐controlled entities. Previously unknown payments also emerged: $1 million to Joi Ito, $85,000 to Alan Dershowitz, $250,000 to Terje Rod-Larsen, and reimbursements to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers (about $1,232.25). In response, legislators are now pushing for hearings—ten Democratic senators recently urged JPMorgan executives and others to testify under oath about their knowledge of Epstein and any “ignored warnings.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The Wall Street Firms That Kept Ties With Jeffrey Epstein Until the End
In a recent interview on the podcast Pod Force One, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described Jeffrey Epstein as “the greatest blackmailer ever,” basing this claim largely on his personal observations from when he lived next to Epstein. He says Epstein showed him and his wife the “massage room” inside his townhouse, claiming he got massages “every day” — a detail Lutnick interpreted as suggestive of a blackmail mechanism involving filmed encounters. He further speculated that Epstein may have traded such footage with authorities or influential individuals to secure lenient legal outcomes, pointing to Epstein’s unusually favorable plea deal in 2008 as possible evidence of bargaining with powerful figures.Lutnick also implicated Epstein’s high-profile associates, suggesting they either participated in or turned a blind eye to the alleged blackmail scheme. He asserted that Epstein’s modus operandi involved offering massages that he assumed were videotaped, and that these recordings could have been used as leverage against elites. At the same time, Lutnick acknowledges he has no direct proof of such extortion, framing much of his claim as assumption grounded in his own impressions and suspicions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Howard Lutnick calls ex-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein 'greatest blackmailer ever'
The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they’re society’s conscience while proving they’ll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn’t blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it’s on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In May 2024, April Lampros filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging multiple instances of sexual assault and battery during the 1990s and early 2000s. According to the lawsuit, Lampros, then a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, met Combs in 1994. She claims that in 1995, after being pressured to consume alcohol, Combs took her to a hotel room where he allegedly raped her despite her protests. Following this incident, Lampros asserts that Combs continued to pursue her, leading to a coercive and abusive relationship. She alleges that in a parking garage, he forced her to perform oral sex against her will. Additionally, in 1996, Lampros claims that Combs compelled her and his then-girlfriend, Kim Porter, to ingest ecstasy and engage in sexual acts with each other while he watched and subsequently assaulted her.Lampros further alleges that Combs used threats to manipulate and control her, including warnings that he could ruin her career. She contends that after attempting to distance herself, Combs retaliated by orchestrating her termination from a restaurant job through Porter's intervention. The lawsuit also mentions a later encounter in the early 2000s, where Combs allegedly kissed and touched Lampros without her consent in her apartment. Years later, in 2023, Lampros claims she learned of a videotape of her and Combs engaging in sexual activity, which she alleges was recorded without her knowledge or consent. Combs has not publicly responded to these specific allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
