Organized Crime: The Illicit Bookmaking Racket (9/27/24)

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 8:03)to contact me:[email protected] (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Illegal bookmaking operates in the shadows, offering bettors credit, anonymity, and better odds than legal sportsbooks, but at the risk of brutal enforcement by organized crime when debts go unpaid. Despite the rise of legalized sports betting, underground bookies remain popular due to the personal relationships they build with clients and the lure of untaxed, unregulated profits. As the industry evolves, many operations have moved online, using offshore servers and cryptocurrencies to avoid detection. High-profile busts, like the 2024 international sting that dismantled a massive betting ring, show that law enforcement continues to fight this illegal trade, but its adaptability ensures its survival.(commercial at 9:46)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Elite billionaires often utilize their wealth and influence to shield themselves from accusations of crimes, leveraging their resources to manipulate legal systems, media narratives, and public opinion. These tactics can include hiring high-powered legal teams to intimidate accusers, settling cases out of court with non-disclosure agreements to silence victims, or employing private investigators to dig up dirt on those who speak out against them.Additionally, these billionaires often surround themselves with wealthy and influential friends who act as enablers, providing support and protection in various forms. This network of connections can be instrumental in suppressing allegations, exerting pressure on whistleblowers, or even influencing law enforcement and judicial processes.Furthermore, the immense financial resources at their disposal afford them access to top-tier lawyers, lobbyists, and public relations experts who specialize in managing and minimizing damage to their reputations. This combination of wealth, power, and influence creates significant barriers for accusers seeking justice and perpetuates a cycle of impunity among the elite.In essence, elite billionaires utilize their wealth and power not only to evade accountability for their actions but also to actively thwart efforts to hold them responsible, with the assistance of their well-connected allies and enablers.In this episode, we get a look at the Rogue's gallery that was enabling Diddy and financing his many different projects.   (commercial at 10:56)to contact me:[email protected]:Secrets of Sean Diddy Combs' billionaire boys club (nypost.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
