The Wolves of Wall Street
The most interesting character among the players of the Sarasota ‘hyena pack’—it’s a professional designation used by law enforcement and financial fraud specialists— is Ramy El Batrawi. Plus, he’s still active. Ramy El-Batrawi has been around major cocaine transactions for decades, yet he appears to have emerged unscathed. He is untouchable and knows it. He…

It’s been 140 days since the second largest drug bust in American history went down in the waters off-shore of the Port of Philadelphia.

From Barry Seal to Donald Trump
This is a story about ‘connections,’ elite deviance and the CIA. More specifically, Donald Trump’s connections, a word which has a long history of usage in organized crime.

Carlos Slim, the NY Times, & the trial of El Chapo Guzman
Former 17-year old beauty queens; diamond-encrusted pistols; cocaine in cans of hot peppers and gallons of cooking oil; 18-wheeler’s and ‘cocaine trains;’ drugged 13- year old girls at $5K a pop; a view of the Brooklyn Bridge through the windows of a cartel stash house.

American Show Trial
It was a show trial. Except it wasn’t in Moscow. It was in Brooklyn. The guilt of the defendant was never in question. It was an honest-to-God American show trial. It was a display of an “enemy of the people” at the moment he is smitten by the righteous might of American justice. It was…
