Gone But Not Forgotten: Michael Dunahee (9/28/24)

William Queen, a decorated ATF agent, undertook one of the most dangerous undercover operations in U.S. history by infiltrating the notorious Mongols Motorcycle Club in the late 1990s. For nearly two years, he lived as "Billy St. John," gaining the gang's trust and rising through the ranks, all while secretly documenting their criminal activities. His mission culminated in "Operation Black Rain," a massive raid that led to the indictment of 54 Mongol members on charges of racketeering, drug trafficking, and murder. While Queen's work severely crippled the Mongols, it came at great personal cost, forcing him into hiding due to threats on his life. Despite this, his courageous efforts helped dismantle a powerful criminal organization and solidified his legacy as one of the most daring undercover agents in history.(commercial at 8:23)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Michael Dunahee, a four-year-old boy, vanished without a trace on March 24, 1991, from a crowded park in Victoria, British Columbia, in broad daylight, sparking one of Canada's largest and most haunting missing child investigations. Despite massive search efforts, extensive media coverage, and various leads over the years, including sightings and even a man believing he could be Michael, no credible evidence has ever surfaced, and the case remains unsolved. Theories range from local abduction to human trafficking, but nothing has been confirmed. The Dunahee family continues to advocate for missing children, organizing annual events to keep Michael’s memory alive, while law enforcement periodically revisits the case in hopes of finding answers. As of 2024, the mystery of Michael Dunahee's disappearance remains a chilling enigma, a reminder of how swiftly life can be upended and how elusive justice can sometimes be.(commercial at 7:11)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a letter to the court, prosecutors strongly opposed Sean "Diddy" Combs' bail appeal, emphasizing his long history of witness intimidation and violent behavior. They argued that no conditions of bail, including his proposed house arrest in his luxurious Miami home, would prevent him from tampering with witnesses. Prosecutors cited multiple instances of abuse and threats to victims, including testimony from more than 50 witnesses and evidence from raids on Combs' properties. They highlighted the severity of the charges, which could lead to life imprisonment if convicted​to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bid rigging and price fixing are two insidious corporate crimes where companies conspire to manipulate competition and inflate prices, robbing governments, businesses, and consumers of billions. In bid rigging, conspirators secretly agree on who will win contracts, using tactics like cover bidding, bid rotation, and subcontracting to maintain the illusion of competition. Price fixing involves competitors agreeing to set artificially high prices for products or services, removing natural market forces. These practices are difficult to detect and prove, often uncovered by whistleblowers who risk their careers to expose the schemes. Despite legal battles and harsh penalties, bid rigging and price fixing remain prevalent, evolving with globalization and modern technology, leaving the public to pay the hidden costs.(commercial at 9:46)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.Under RICO, individuals and organizations can be charged with racketeering if they are found to have engaged in a pattern of illegal activity, such as bribery, extortion, fraud, or trafficking. A "pattern of racketeering activity" requires at least two acts of racketeering within a ten-year period.To take down a human trafficking network using RICO, law enforcement agencies would typically investigate the network's operations, identify key individuals involved, gather evidence of their illegal activities, and establish a pattern of racketeering. This evidence could include financial transactions, communications, witness testimony, and physical evidence linking the individuals to the trafficking activities.Once the evidence is compiled, prosecutors can bring RICO charges against the leaders and members of the trafficking network. If convicted, they could face significant criminal penalties, including imprisonment and forfeiture of assets.Additionally, RICO allows victims of the trafficking network to file civil lawsuits against the perpetrators, seeking damages for the harm they have suffered. This can provide victims with a means of seeking justice and compensation for their ordeal.In this episode we get some confirmation that there are witnesses cooperating with the federal government as far as their RICO investigation goes, and we also get more evidence that the timeline of the Lil Rod suit and the eventual raid was not coincidence, but in fact, connected.  We also get a look at the list of allegations against Puffy over the past few years.  (commercial at 10:57)to contact me:[email protected]:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' alleged victims 'talking a lot,' feds claim 'concrete, detailed, explicit allegations of sex trafficking' (nypost.com)Diddy raided: Here are all the allegations made against Sean Combs | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the context of a court filing, a declaration is a written statement made under oath or penalty of perjury by a person who has personal knowledge of the facts stated in the document. Declarations are commonly used in legal proceedings to present evidence or provide information relevant to a case.They are typically submitted to the court by parties involved in the case or by witnesses, and they serve as a means of presenting facts or arguments to support or oppose various legal claims. Declarations are often used when a witness is unavailable to testify in person or when it is impractical for them to do so. They are subject to the same standards of truthfulness and accuracy as testimony given in court.In this episode, we take a look at the declaration of Donald Zakarin in support of UMG and Diddy.  (commercial at 14:21)to contact me:[email protected] (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
