Organized Crime: Tommy Agro (9/20/24)

Brian Jeffrey Raymond, a former CIA officer, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in September 2024 for drugging, sexually assaulting, and filming more than two dozen women across multiple countries over a 14-year period. Raymond used his position while working for the U.S. government, including during his time at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, to target and exploit his victims. Many of the assaults occurred at his government-leased housing in Mexico City, where he lured women through dating apps. He often drugged them using a combination of alcohol and substances like Ambien, rendering them unconscious before assaulting them.Raymond admitted to engaging in non-consensual sexual acts with several victims and took hundreds of photos and videos of them while they were unconscious. The investigation began in May 2020 after a woman was seen screaming for help from his balcony. A search of his devices uncovered nearly 500 explicit images and videos of unconscious women, leading to his arrest and subsequent guilty plea in 2023.In addition to his prison sentence, Raymond was ordered to pay $260,000 in restitution to his victims and will remain on lifetime supervised release after serving his time. He will also be required to register as a sex offender for life. His actions have been described as a long-running, calculated exploitation of vulnerable women.(commercial at 7:51)to contact me:[email protected]:Predator CIA officer who drugged and sexually abused dozens of women across the world and kept sick cache of pictures of naked and unconscious victims learns his fate | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Tommy Agro, a feared enforcer for the Gambino crime family, rose through the ranks in New York’s violent underworld in the 1950s and 60s, earning a brutal reputation for his work in loansharking and extortion. Known for his relentless violence, Agro’s most infamous act came in 1979 when he savagely beat his associate Joe Iannuzzi over an unpaid debt. This attack backfired when Iannuzzi turned informant for the FBI, leading to Agro’s arrest in 1986. With damning evidence from wiretaps and Iannuzzi’s testimony, Agro was convicted of extortion and racketeering. He died in prison in 1987, marking the end of his reign as one of the Gambino family’s most notorious enforcers, and his fall symbolized the weakening of the Mafia’s grip on New York.(commercial at 7:43)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Billy Batts' murder is one of the most notorious events in mafia history, symbolizing the violent consequences of crossing the wrong person in the mob world. Batts, a respected associate of the Gambino crime family, made the fatal mistake of insulting Tommy DeSimone, a volatile member of the Lucchese family, during a celebratory party. This seemingly minor slight set off a brutal chain of events, with DeSimone, Jimmy Burke, and Henry Hill savagely beating Batts, stuffing him into the trunk of a car, and ultimately killing him in cold blood. His murder wasn’t just about personal revenge—it violated the mafia's sacred rules and became a deadly example of what happens when power, ego, and respect clash within the mob.The fallout from Batts’ death had far-reaching consequences. His murder helped expose the inner workings of New York's criminal underworld and contributed to the eventual downfall of key mafia figures like Burke and DeSimone. Decades later, Billy Batts’ death is still remembered as a pivotal moment in mob history, illustrating the fragile, dangerous nature of life within organized crime. His story serves as a grim reminder that in the mafia, the line between loyalty and betrayal is thin, and crossing it often leads to violent and tragic consequences.(commercial at 8:56)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In November 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, accusing him of years of abuse during their decade-long relationship. The lawsuit includes allegations of rape, physical abuse, and sex trafficking. Cassie claimed that Diddy exercised "complete control" over her life, providing her with drugs, physically assaulting her, and forcing her to engage in sexual acts with male sex workers while he filmed the encounters. She also accused him of violent behavior, including an incident where he allegedly blew up the car of another man who was romantically interested in her.Cassie also described several instances where she tried to escape the relationship, including a particularly harrowing event in 2018 when she says Diddy raped her after she attempted to break up with him. The lawsuit highlighted the severe emotional and physical trauma she endured, stating that she has needed extensive medical and psychological care.The lawsuit was quickly settled just a day after it was filed, with both parties issuing statements. While Cassie expressed relief at having some control over the resolution, Diddy's team denied the allegations, framing the lawsuit as an attempt to tarnish his reputation. Nonetheless, the settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing from Diddy.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Following Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent arrest on serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and kidnapping, his alleged co-conspirators could be facing significant legal jeopardy. Prosecutors have accused Combs of leading a criminal enterprise involving forced labor, trafficking, and violence spanning decades. These associates were allegedly instrumental in facilitating his activities, from arranging illicit gatherings to helping cover up the abuse.If the co-conspirators are found to have played roles in these events—such as arranging travel, securing locations for the alleged crimes, or participating in acts of intimidation—they could face charges similar to Combs, such as racketeering, conspiracy, and witness tampering. Notably, one co-conspirator is already accused of kidnapping a person at gunpoint to facilitate a break-in, which later escalated to setting fire to the victim’s car. These charges, if proven, could result in lengthy prison sentences for the co-conspirators, as they are closely tied to the violent and coercive aspects of Combs' criminal enterprise​Given the severity of the charges against Combs, those involved may also be subject to intense scrutiny, as prosecutors have made it clear they intend to pursue all parties who participated in the operation. With mounting evidence—including seized videos, narcotics, and firearms—legal outcomes for his associates could be just as dire, particularly if they are implicated in covering up or enabling the alleged abuses(commercial at 8:03)to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy's entourage could be charged over 'Freak Off' supplies after 1,000 bottles of lube seized, lawyer warns | The US Sun (the-sun.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
