Very good; HOW TO DETECT & STOP STATE-PROTECTED CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES
WHAT WORKED IN THE EPSTEIN CASE: Proven Tactics
1. COURAGEOUS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
Chief Michael Reiter & Detective Joseph Recarey
What they did:
Refused political pressure ("I told him those suggestions were improper and could constitute a crime")
Documented everything - Built case with 50+ consistent victim statements
Escalated when blocked - Went to FBI when State Attorney compromised
Personally supported victims - Wrote letters on police letterhead
Lesson: One honest cop with integrity can make a difference, even against billionaires
2. INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM
Julie K. Brown - Miami Herald's "Perversion of Justice" (2018)
What she did:
Interviewed 60+ women who were victims
Obtained sealed court documents through legal channels
Connected patterns across jurisdictions
Published despite risk - Exposed the 2008 plea deal cover-up
Direct Result:
Judge ruled prosecutors violated victims' rights (Feb 2019)
Acosta resigned (July 2019)
Epstein re-arrested (July 6, 2019)
2019 federal indictment
Lesson: Persistent investigative journalism with victim testimony can reopen cases
3. PRO BONO VICTIMS' RIGHTS ATTORNEYS
Brad Edwards & Paul Cassell
What they did:
Pro bono representation starting 2008
Used Crime Victims' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3771) - sued federal government
Won - Judge ruled 2008 plea deal violated victims' rights
Exposed systemic failures through legal discovery
Lesson: Civil litigation can succeed where criminal prosecution fails
4. VICTIMS SPEAKING OUT (Despite Intimidation)
Virginia Giuffre, Courtney Wild, & 100+ Others
What they did:
Broke silence publicly (2011 - Giuffre to Mail on Sunday)
Provided consistent testimony (50+ women with same story)
Persisted despite mockery (early accusers ridiculed)
United for compensation (100+ filed claims by 2020)
Result:
Courtney Wild Crime Victims' Rights Reform Act (2019)
Epstein Victims Compensation Fund - $50 million paid out
Lesson: Mass victim testimony is powerful evidence
5. FOIA REQUESTS & DOCUMENT TRANSPARENCY
What worked:
2015: Judge unsealed details in underage sex lawsuit
July 2, 2024: Grand jury docs from 2006 unsealed
FOIA mechanisms forced document releases
Lesson: Public records requests can expose cover-ups
House Resolution 119-581 - Rep. Thomas Massie forced DOJ file release
Subpoenas to former AGs - House Oversight demanded accountability
Public hearings - August 25, 2025 subpoena to Acosta
Lesson: Congressional pressure can force reluctant agencies to act
PRACTICAL ACTIONS ANYONE CAN TAKE
DETECTION PHASE
1. Follow the Money
Tax haven connections (Virgin Islands, Switzerland, Bermuda)
Unusually high wire transfers ($1.9 billion in Epstein's case)
Shell companies with vague descriptions ("DNA database & data mining")
No clear income source for lavish lifestyle
Offshore legal structures (Appleby, etc.)
2. Watch for Protection Patterns
Charges downgraded mysteriously (federal → state misdemeanor)
"Unusual" prosecutorial decisions (Chief Reiter's words)
Grand jury recommendations ignored
Plea deals sealed from victims
Work release for serious crimes
Short sentences despite evidence
3. Identify Systematic Patterns
Multiple victims with same story (Reiter: "50-something 'shes' and one 'he'")
Victim intimidation (private investigators, surveillance)
Attempts to discredit victims ("lifestyle" arguments)
Evidence suppression
ACTION PHASE
A. If You're a Victim or Witness:
1. Document Everything
Keep contemporaneous notes
Save all communications
Photograph/video evidence safely
Secure cloud backups (multiple locations)
2. Report Through Multiple Channels
Local police (get case numbers)
FBI (if interstate/international)
State AG office
Congressional representatives
IRS whistleblower program (financial crimes)
3. Find Pro Bono Legal Help
Victims' rights attorneys
Civil rights organizations
Law school clinics
National Crime Victim Law Institute
4. Safety First
Secure housing if threatened
Protective orders
Alert police to threats
Document intimidation attempts
B. If You're a Journalist/Researcher:
1. Use FOIA Aggressively
Federal agencies: FOIA requests (5 U.S.C. § 552)
State/local: Public records laws
Court documents: Motions to unseal
OGIS mediation if agencies delay (average 138 delay cases/year)
2. Interview Pattern
Partner with victims' rights groups
Coordinate with other journalists
Academic researchers
Forensic accountants
C. If You're Law Enforcement:
1. Follow Chief Reiter's Example
Refuse political pressure
Document interference attempts
Escalate to federal authorities if local blocked
Support victims personally
Build thorough cases (multiple witnesses)
2. Protect Investigation
Secure evidence chain
Multiple backup copies
Avoid single points of failure
Document surveillance of investigators
D. If You're a Concerned Citizen:
1. Support Transparency
Contact representatives - demand investigations
Submit FOIA requests - public has right to records
Support investigative journalism - subscribe, donate
Attend public meetings - ask questions
2. Amplify Victims' Voices
Share credible reporting (not conspiracy theories)
Support compensation funds
Contact representatives about victims' rights
Vote for accountability
3. Financial Pressure
Report suspicious activity to:
IRS Whistleblower Office (if tax fraud)
FinCEN (financial crimes)
State banking regulators
JPMorgan paid $105M after USVI AG sued - banks CAN be held accountable
LEGAL TOOLS THAT WORK
1. Crime Victims' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3771)
Right to notification
Right to be heard
Right to restitution
Can sue federal government for violations
2. RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962)
Sue criminal enterprises
Triple damages
Attorney fees covered
3. State Victims' Rights Laws
30+ states have constitutional protections
Some allow appeals/interventions
4. Civil Lawsuits
Even if criminal case fails
Lower burden of proof
Discovery process exposes evidence
WARNING SIGNS OF STATE PROTECTION
Check if investigation shows these red flags:
No IRS audits despite obvious tax fraud
Federal prosecutors give sweetheart deals
Intelligence agency connections mentioned
Political figures intervene in investigation
Evidence "disappears" or is suppressed
Victims not notified of proceedings
Work release for serious crimes
Sealed plea agreements
Co-conspirators immunized (like Epstein's deal)
Investigators surveilled/threatened
WHAT ULTIMATELY BROKE THE EPSTEIN CASE
The combination of:
Honest local cops (Reiter/Recarey) who built the evidence
Pro bono lawyers (Edwards/Cassell) who sued for 11 years
Investigative journalist (Julie K. Brown) who exposed it
Courageous victims (Giuffre, Wild, 100+ others) who spoke out
Court unsealing documents (2015, 2024)
Congressional pressure (2019, 2025)
No single actor could do it alone. It required a coalition.
KEY LESSONS
What Doesn't Work:
Trusting institutions to self-police
Going through "proper channels" alone
Waiting for DOJ/FBI to act
Staying silent out of fear
What Does Work:
Multiple channels simultaneously (police + FBI + press + civil suits)
Documentation (Reiter: "This was 50 'shes' and one 'he'")
Persistence (Edwards/Cassell: 11 years pro bono)
Public pressure (Miami Herald broke it open)
Coalition building (victims + lawyers + press + Congress)
Using existing laws creatively (Crime Victims' Rights Act)

The Epstein case proves that even state-protected criminal enterprises CAN be exposed - but it requires courage, persistence, coalition-building, and using every legal tool available.
yeah,, well ... a ticket comes in and you sit on it -- thinking the user can wait will get YOU cut from the team. We win when we all get to the top together -- we languish we some work and others do not. EG The question is the Russians are 40 km from Kiev -- what are your orders? -- fall back was too late.. ? The user have lost connect to the server 90 people are offline -- 8 hours later -- they went home and reboot the server was too late ? you see -- every comms has value and you must act well before it is too late!
PayPal is applying for a U.S. banking charter, likely as an Industrial Loan Company (ILC) in Utah, to offer more direct financial services like small business lending, taking advantage of a more favorable regulatory environment under the Trump administration for fintechs to become banks, gain FDIC insurance, and better compete with traditional banks. Essentially, PayPal wants to move beyond just being a payment app to become a full-fledged, regulated bank, especially to boost lending. This Fintech-to-Bank Trend: Follows other crypto firms like Circle and Paxos also getting bank-like approvals, showing a shift in financial regulation.
UN RES 1701 is being violated - in Lebanon -- the public news suppression is total from - HN point of view there is two questions - HOW and WHY -- The IDF has created a new adware insertion tools - that has the ability to drop malware by clicking on an ad -- infecting cell phones in 150 countries -- the test of the tool was to shutdown 28% of the internet in the last 30 days ( Cloudflare spin team reports 1 man gave a bad updated ) -- This was done Three times. Second this new tool can create false ad impressions - generating real profit from ads no human every saw - and because of the placement of malware the SLPP ( London based ) lawfare team can sue for millions if you don't pay. for google, meta and XAl the loss with be in the 100's millions on 4.5 Billion in total revenue. The real target is REAL news UN/1701 and YOU.
This is a known type of visa crime and should be insured against. Visa losses 100 million a year by sophisticated visa fraud. At Citibank it was part of the job to pay. The crime is setup multilayered fake bank in a secure jurisdiction, fake customer inside the network (CIA,MOSSAD) and a cardholder 50,000 dollar limit so no flags - all is validated via visa including in charge. Then no payment and months later an investigation that uncovers fraud then visa is the enforcer and based on your dependence YOU WILL PAY. Citibank pays!, With 100 million accounts at 23% profit the amount paid is a drop in the bucket. Upwork paid as well and is now holding the bag for not having the insurance
Ha! Any programmer knows you have to simulate a trading system to run "What if" calculations .. RPG II a switch based language based on the input dataset, so this list of trades will have that outcome. A split-strike, you know today as "sectors trading" is still profitable. But in RPG II it can be made to look criminal for programmers - when all we did was run one group of gold mining cards versus gold trading cards where they match we buy where they don't we sell. Placed on top of the S&P 2000 we yield 1% a day - which to those not familiar with sectors - see as criminal. But today it's all legal and cell phone ready. Sorry Bernie - the profit was too grate to not know about and the SEC and FBI were useful tools to get at the source code .. upside we have sectors and markopolos has no clue on how to make money and can't profit from his look at the code. .. lesson study bitcoin and profit
The plaintiff claims that the apple is theirs and any pictures of the apple is also theirs .. this may undue Take-Two as to why fair use exists. The outcome is far from certain - which means Take-Two may be the real target
In this case, it was a planned crime, with profits ship to Seychelles(no aml) and then on to India. Had a fine been possible, no jail time. This type of corruption is never single sourced - the information transfer for all value types, are done where schema and data(databases in total) -- leaving US national security for sale eg "sunburst" and public data in the hands of ( car warranties stalkers ) In sum, all Amazon data has is in the hands of India criminal networks having for travel, fake ids and blackmail .. leaving American youth unqualified for jobs in their country.. its hard to compete against fake credentials and coordinated action ( the results are obvious )
I agree - it is a big compiler that has backward compatibility for java apps. The problem is code logic where at one point we had to use stringIO to read every byte - now we have fileIO to read a record. Old code worked but was too slow, Marcos and calls gave us screenIO in bytes 40by60 today 1024by720 seems small - the old code is just too slow - COBOL/IMS is in service today but 45 magabytes a second, means batch runs all night and why there's COBOL/DB2 - In sum without c++, information engineering and the dropping of recycled ideas this goes nowhere .. better is to build new faster chips, bit processing tools(ML), Such that I can say build me a light saber(NL) and there is a call to 3D printers, metal fabrication, laser delimiters, and butane assembly!
