#173: The 764 Group, Leonard Hogue, the Mr. Big Sting & the Block Breaker
Description
In Episode 173 of Brutal, Bizarre, and Boozy, Deklan investigates The 764 Group, an online extremist network that uses social media and gaming platforms to target and exploit teenagers, encouraging violence, self-harm, and criminal behavior behind anonymous accounts.
Jane then examines the interconnected Canadian case involving Leonard Hogue, a disgraced Vancouver police officer, David Harrison, and the controversial “Mr. Big” undercover sting technique, exposing allegations of corruption, high-risk robberies, and ethically disputed interrogation tactics.
We also drink the Block Breaker cocktail.
