Charges have been filed against Caroline Ellison and Gary Wong for their involvement in the frauds that led to FTX's collapse. Both have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the investigation. Samuel Bankman Fried, who was also charged, is now in FBI custody and will be brought back to the United States. The swift return was made possible by the assistance of individuals in the Bahamas, the United States Embassy, and the FBI. The team effort and dedication of the prosecutors from the Southern District of New York are acknowledged, and the investigation is ongoing.

On November 20th, Elon Musk shared a clip from The Godfather, coincidentally mentioning the mafia. Later that day, news broke about the conviction of hundreds of members from the N'Ndrangheta Mafia, a powerful crime syndicate involved in various illegal activities. This organization is Europe's top cocaine broker and has been responsible for a significant portion of cocaine entering the US. They are also involved in arms and drug trafficking, money laundering, racketeering, and more. The arrest of these mafia members occurred in Brazil in July 2019, around the same time Jeffrey Epstein was arrested. It seems that a worldwide sting operation took place, potentially aided by Donald Trump's administration, leading to the dismantling of Epstein Island and the mafia. The question arises whether these events would have unfolded differently if Trump had not become president and if he has a history of confronting the mafia.

We are announcing today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14,600,000,000 in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs. These criminals didn't just steal someone else's money. They stole from you. The days of transnational criminal organizations using the American health care programs as their personal piggy bank are over. Third, this takedown resulted in criminal charges against 74 defendants including medical professionals who fueled America's deadly opioid crisis for personal profit. This is not health care. It is a staggering breach of trust. Today's enforcement action represents the largest health care fraud takedown in American history, but it's not the end. It's the beginning of a new era of aggressive prosecution and data driven prevention.

A recent arrest in Northern Virginia was described as the result of a major shift in how the FBI operates on this case. The key details: a month to six weeks ago, Bongino and Patel decided to remove the old agents and assign a new team to the case. The new team applied fresh ideas and new technologies, which allowed evidence that had been overlooked to lead to the arrest of a suspect this morning. Authorities stressed that the arrest is just the beginning of understanding how the operation was conducted, who was behind it, whether there were additional conspirators, or if it was a lone actor. The discussion draws a parallel to the Charlie Kirk investigation, noting that the FBI’s old-guard elements resisted changing the approach, such as withholding the suspect’s photo. Bongino and Patel insisted the photo be released to prompt a father to flip, which they say contributed to the arrest. The overall claim is that a different mentality within the FBI is yielding results: numerous arrests and cases solved that had stalled for years, and some cases resolved rapidly, like the “assassin” case in thirty-three hours. Two notable dynamics are described. First, success stories are being produced, contrasting with resistance from some FBI personnel who prefer their prior methods. Second, this has resulted in internal dissatisfaction among some personnel who “grouse” about the changes, though supporters point to real progress. The narrative asserts that Donald Trump instructed Patel and Bongino to “break glass at the FBI,” and that these changes are being implemented, with demonstrations of success. The conversation identifies two groups within the bureau. The “deep state” elements are described as being purged or pressured to reveal what they did over the last six to eight years, including discussions of burn bags and other hidden actions from the Ray and Comey era. Initially, there was concern about why certain people remained in place, but as cases are solved, opposition within the agency has diminished. Resistors are said to have moved outside the building, while inside the FBI, new personnel are adopting a different approach. Additional context highlights one practical change: the FBI’s development of a counter-drone program, described as a major shift in capabilities that aligns with the broader theme of modernization and adaptation within the agency. The speaker notes that this evolving FBI is now seen as capable of applying fresh methods to combat emerging threats, paralleling external events such as Ukraine-Russia drone dynamics.

These individuals have caused great harm to our nation. I personally led the investigation and recovered the stolen funds.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were involved in sex trafficking minors, along with others. The FBI is actively investigating these crimes, including the potential involvement of prominent individuals. Specific details cannot be disclosed, but the investigation is ongoing. Allegations and lawsuits against these individuals are being considered, and no one is above the law. The FBI is committed to pursuing justice in these cases.

The former CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch, Mike Jeffries, was arrested in connection to a sex trafficking case. Rapper and music executive Sean Combs may be linked to a sex trafficking investigation. Jeffrey Epstein may have been the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known. The speaker claims to have had the story and an interview with Virginia Roberts for three years, but it was not aired.

Erica Kirk, Fransvi, and Nicole Rothstein discuss Thanksgiving and family connections. Nicole Rothstein replies to a clip in which Erica Kirk talked about her Shabbat Shalom, stating that as her cousin, who is fully Jewish, half of her family is Jewish, while she herself is Christian, but she has celebrated many Jewish holidays with their family and highly respects the Jewish religion. Nicole identifies herself with the name and handle Nicole Rothstein and notes that the Rothsteins are a pretty famous crime family in American history. The discussion then shifts to Arnold Rothstein, nicknamed “the Brain,” described as an American racketeer, crime boss, businessman, and gambler who became a kingpin of the Jewish mob in New York City. Rothstein is widely reputed to have organized corruption in professional athletics, including conspiring to fix the 1919 World Series. He is noted as a mentor of future crime bosses such as Lucky Luciano, Meyer (Meir) Lansky, Frank Costello, Bugs Siegel, and numerous others. The narrative presents Rothstein as a central figure connected to broader organized crime history. The conversation then hints at a darker layer of family connections, noting that the discussion involves Erica’s aunt, Carla Solomon, also referred to as Franzvi. The overall thread weaves together a personal familial context with a prominent historical figure in American crime history, highlighting a lineage connection to Arnold Rothstein and to extended family members such as Carla Solomon (Franzvi).

"Joint Task Force alpha is the tip of the spear we have been working on that with secretary Christy now homeland security." "This week joint task force alpha took four major enforcement actions right here in Tampa we unsealed the indictment charging 12 defendants operating a massive illegal smuggling ring." "The defendants engaged in a conspiracy to bring illegal aliens from Cuba to The US for profit." "They charged up to $40,000 per victim." "They used Zelle to transfer over $7,000,000 over the course of this scheme and I believe had profits cash of over 18,000,000." "In 2023 according to CVP parts of Vermont and New York started seeing unprecedented traffic from illegal aliens." "Law enforcement officers operating in these areas encountered aliens from 97 different countries, including China, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran."

Speaker 1 says they are retiring by declaring themselves a FIFA member, citing risk in being a "professional political act activist" and involvement in events like "blackouts" and the violence. They avoid naming others due to risk and say there were pre-event "meetings beforehand" and "text messages" and "Facebook messages," and that their Facebook page was taken down for hate speech before investigators looked into it. When asked about arrests, they say, "Yes. I know for sure we have over 100 members... currently incarcerated because of this event." They add, "That's a pretty large number. I know that the FBI's arrested, they're going on 1,000 people."

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were involved in sex trafficking minors, along with others. The FBI is actively investigating the case, including prominent individuals linked to the scandal. Specific details cannot be disclosed, but the investigation is ongoing and no one is above the law. The FBI is committed to pursuing justice for the victims.

We have made history as the first law enforcement partners to arrest individuals connected to the Chinese government's overseas police stations. Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping were arrested this morning at their homes in New York City. They allegedly collaborated to establish an overseas police station in Manhattan's Chinatown for the Fuzhou branch of China's National Police Force. Acting under the direction of an MPS official in China, they conducted these activities in secret.

The Department of Justice announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in its history, charging 324 defendants for alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14,660,000,000 in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs. Key points emphasized: - First, these health care fraud schemes affect every hardworking American family. The announcement states that criminals didn’t just steal money from others; they stole from taxpayers who fund these programs. Every fraudulent claim, fake billing, and kickback scheme represents money taken from American taxpayers, driving up the national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and vulnerable citizens. The enforcement action involves seizure of cash as well as luxury vehicles and properties, returning real money to taxpayers and to government health care programs. - Second, there is a disturbing trend of transnational criminal organizations engaging in increasingly sophisticated schemes. The takedown identifies and charges defendants operating from Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, and other foreign countries, who have infiltrated the U.S. health care system to steal taxpayer dollars. An example described involves a sophisticated operation run from Russia and Eastern Europe that bought dozens of medical supply companies in the United States and submitted more than $10,000,000,000 in fraudulent health care claims to Medicare. This operation used the stolen identities of more than 1,000,000 Americans spanning all 50 states. Federal agents intercepted and arrested key members of that organization at U.S. airports and the U.S.–Mexico border, cutting off their escape routes. The days of transnational criminal organizations using the American health care programs as their personal piggy bank are over. - Third, 74 defendants, including medical professionals, were charged, highlighting those who fueled America’s deadly opioid crisis for personal profit. Pill mill operators who prescribed unnecessary opioids were charged, and networks of corrupt pharmacies that distributed drugs to addicts and dealers were dismantled, feeding the addiction crisis that has devastated communities. This is described as a staggering breach of trust, and the Department’s Criminal Division will prosecute these criminals aggressively, equating them with drug dealers. - Fourth, some defendants targeted vulnerable citizens in nursing homes, individuals with disabilities, and those battling serious illnesses. Prosecutors charged seven defendants, including five medical professionals, in connection with approximately $1,000,000,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare and other health care benefit programs for performing medically unnecessary skin grass on dying patients as they sought to spend their final days with dignity and peace. This conduct is described as callous and disturbing, reflecting a breach of trust between patients, families, and providers. The overall message: today’s enforcement action represents the largest health care fraud takedown in American history, signaling the beginning of a new era of aggressive prosecution and data-driven prevention.

A robbery crew of 20 individuals arrested for upwards of 50 robberies are all on the streets today. There are reports that they're operating out of the Roosevelt Hotel, which is now a migrant shelter. The activity inside the hotel is spilling into the Times Square area. There is a recruitment process occurring.

I'm pleased that AG Bondi and Director Patel have worked with me to release what I know. We have to ensure the over 250 victims' names are redacted and protected. This will be a phase one release coming very soon, and I will have the hard copy in my hand. AG Bondi is responsible for the public release. I'm appreciative of her work so we can begin to break apart this global human and sex trafficking ring, a $150 billion a year business. It's time to get justice for these women and children. This is phase one, and more will follow.

The FBI announced the results of Operation Restore Justice Initiative, a nationwide operation that led to the arrest of 205 child sex predators in five days. The operation was done in conjunction with the FBI and prosecutors. The victims, children, and their families now have a chance to heal.

The报道 describes a sweeping FBI operation that led to a massive wave of arrests, including city mayors, politicians, and religious leaders, with authorities needing buses to manage the scale of the operation. The piece asserts that New Jersey has one of the worst corruption problems in the nation, noting that corruption is pervasive and has become ingrained in the state’s political culture. According to prosecutors, religious charities controlled by prominent rabbis were used to launder cash. The arrests were part of a ten-year operation that uncovered money laundering on an international scale, as well as the sale of human organs in the United States, Switzerland, and Israel. One rabbi is described as dealing in human kidneys for transplant for a decade, buying them from vulnerable people at a huge profit. The scale of the corruption across New Jersey has outraged residents, reinforcing the belief that Hudson County remains highly corrupt, despite perceptions of progress toward reducing corruption. The report notes that more than 130 public officials have pleaded guilty or been convicted of corruption in the last ten years in New Jersey.

The FBI announced the results of Operation Restore Justice Initiative, a nationwide operation that led to the arrest of 205 child sex predators in five days.

The victims were children, some as young as 15.

A warning from the San Francisco FBI to parents about an international predatory network called seven six four that is using seemingly innocent games to target children in violent ways. The FBI announced the arrest of two leaders, Prasad Nepal (20, North Carolina; username Trippie) and Leonidas Varigianus (US citizen, arrested in Greece; nickname War). The danger remains, with ongoing investigations across the country (more than 250 investigations under 55 field offices). Investigative reporting describes how seven six four predators scout online games like Minecraft and Roblox and also use groups on social platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook that focus on self-harm and eating disorders to identify vulnerable girls. A mother describes how her 15-year-old daughter became involved after a seven six four member contacted her; others joined in. Once a predator has sensitive information or a photo of a girl, they threaten to expose her to family or school if she won’t comply. They also sometimes call in fake crisis reports at the victim’s home, a practice known as swatting. A survivor describes being pressured to livestream harmful acts and to kill a cat; the same individual who pressured her to take her life also sent her a suicide manual. The latest federal complaint filed last month names Prasad Nepal and Leonidas Varigianus as leaders. The story notes that victims can be male as well. There are diverse motivations within the group, including an accelerationist ideology aimed at the downfall of society. The FBI’s San Francisco office leader states the agency has more than 250 investigations underway, with collaboration across federal, state, and local partners for training and awareness to combat the threat. The group has a history of arrests: Henry Ayala, 28, from the San Fernando Valley, charged with child pornography last month; Richard Densmore, 47, from Michigan, sentenced to 30 years for exploiting a child. Densmore spoke on Discord before his arrest, describing involvement with others in a “cult.” Becca Spinks, a self-defense advocate and investigator, notes that taking down leaders is a first move but the threat remains. A pessimistic view is presented that the problem may be too large to stop, with fears that a child could be targeted by someone in their own neighborhood. The mother’s daughter is set to testify in at least one case; victims are young, but so are some predators, including several teen seven six four members who have been arrested. Victims can be male too. The story emphasizes parental involvement and monitoring of children’s online activity, and mentions that Minecraft, Roblox, and Discord say they’re aware of the issue and taking steps to stop predators. The origin of the group’s name: the founder, from Texas, chose seven six four because 764 was the start of his ZIP code.

I'm Matthew Galiotti, head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division. Today we announce the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice. We are announcing charges against three twenty four defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14,600,000,000 in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs. In a takedown this large, I can't possibly describe all of the work that went into dismantling each scheme. But there are four key points that bear emphasizing. First, these health care fraud schemes mean for every hardworking American family. These criminals didn't just steal someone else's money. They stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, they're not just committing theft. They're driving up our national deficit and threatening the long term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans and our most vulnerable citizens. This enforcement action involves the seizure of cash as well as luxury vehicles and properties returning real money to American taxpayers and to our government health care programs. Second, we are seeing a disturbing trend of transnational criminal organizations engaging in increasingly sophisticated and complex criminal schemes that defraud the American health care system. As part of this takedown, we've identified and charged defendants operating from Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan and other foreign countries. As just one example, we dismantled a scheme involving a sophisticated operation run from Russia and Eastern Europe that strategically bought dozens of medical supply companies in The United States and submitted more than $10,000,000,000 in fraudulent health care claims to Medicare. To make matters worse, these perpetrators used the stolen identities of more than 1,000,000 Americans spanning all 50 states to perpetrate this scheme and submit these false claims. But I'm pleased to report that federal agents intercepted and arrested key members of that organization at US airports and The US Mexico border, cutting off their intended escape routes. The days of transnational criminal organizations using the American health care programs as their personal piggy bank are over. Third, this takedown resulted in criminal charges against 74 defendants, including medical professionals who fueled America's deadly opioid crisis for personal profit. These are not isolated instances of poor judgment. These are calculated schemes designed to exploit Americans struggling with addiction while enriching the very people who were duty bound to help them heal. We charged pill mill operators who prescribed unnecessary opioids. We dismantled networks of corrupt pharmacies that existed solely to distribute drugs to addicts and dealers, feeding the addiction crisis that has devastated so many American communities. Fourth, many of the defendants charged as part of this takedown specifically targeted our most vulnerable citizens, elderly Americans in nursing homes, individuals with disabilities, those battling illnesses, and more. For example, our prosecutors charged seven defendants, including five medical professionals, in connection with approximately $1,000,000,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare and other health care benefit programs for performing medically unnecessary skin grass on dying patients as they were seeking to spend their final days with dignity and peace. That conduct is exactly as callous and disturbing as it sounds. Patients and their families trusted these providers with their lives. Instead of receiving care, they became victims of elaborate criminal schemes.

Do you remember Sam Bankman-Fried? He was seen as a genius, so powerful and wealthy that he attended meetings with prominent figures like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair while looking disheveled. Where is he now? I believe he is in prison, as noted in a Netflix series. That's right, he’s a crook. And who was responsible for his downfall? The Department of Justice.

Earlier today, a federal grand jury returned an 18 count superseding indictment charging New Orleans mayor Latoya Cantrell and former New Orleans police department officer Jeffrey Paul Vappi the second. They are charged with a series of fraud, obstruction of justice, and false statement offenses for their role in a nearly three year fraud scheme that we allege exploited their public authority and positions. The indictment alleges that in October 2021, mayor Cantrell and Jeffrey Vappi, a member of her executive protection team, developed a personal, intimate relationship. From that time until mister Vappi's retirement in June 2024, they embarked on a scheme to defraud the city of New Orleans and the New Orleans Police Department by exploiting Vappi's job and Cantrell's authority as mayor to have the city and the New Orleans Police Department pay Vappi's salary and expenses during the times that Vappi claimed to be on duty, But when he he was actually engaged in personal activities, usually with miss Cantrell, but sometimes alone at the Pantalba apartment. The indictment describes the steps Cantrell and Vappi took to hide their scheme.

The FBI conducted massive arrests, including US city mayors, politicians, and religious leaders, requiring buses for transport. New Jersey's corruption problem is considered one of the worst in the nation, ingrained in its political culture. Religious charities controlled by rabbis allegedly laundered cash. The 10-year operation uncovered international money laundering, corruption, and the sale of human organs in the US, Switzerland, and Israel. One rabbi allegedly dealt in human kidneys for transplant for a decade, exploiting vulnerable people for profit. The arrests included community leaders, and the scale of corruption has outraged New Jersey residents. Despite efforts to reduce corruption, Hudson County remains corrupt. The number of arrests was remarkable, even for New Jersey, where over 130 officials have been convicted of corruption in the last 10 years.

John Nance and Hogan DeGidley discuss a recent FBI case and press conference. Patel’s FBI has been extremely transparent, and that transparency will continue to reassure the American people that information regarding this subject will flow as appropriate without jeopardizing the prosecution of the case. A key takeaway is the suggestion that forensic evidence could be the linchpin to identifying the suspect, despite millions of data lines to review; pieces such as DNA or a fingerprint related to the pipe bombs themselves may have been the actual “smoking gun.” There is emphasis on teamwork and the idea that information had been left to collect dust rather than being newly uncovered. AG Merrick Garland’s remarks are cited, highlighting that the evidence leading to the arrest had been sitting at the FBI for years. The FBI, along with US Attorney Piro and prosecutors, worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been at the FBI with the Biden administration for four years. The point is made that there was no new tip or new witness, just diligent police work and prosecutorial effort. Hogan DeGidley asks why the case wasn’t cracked during President Biden’s four years in office. The response suggests that it either couldn’t be done or wouldn’t be done, and that the American people suffered as a result. It is stated that this did not come from new evidence but from information already in the bureau and departments being sifted through. The discussion frames the case as a win for the administration, the FBI, and the DOJ, and a step toward transparency, accountability, and justice. They note that the attackers placed pipe bombs at both the RNC and DNC locations; the motives remain unknown, and questions about a possible Antifa link or other theories are mentioned as preliminary. Cash Patel is quoted as saying the FBI has committed to being the most transparent law enforcement operation in U.S. history while ensuring accountability in the courts with U.S. Attorneys and prosecutors. The aim is to divulge information when prudent and constitutionally permissible, safeguarding the case, to secure the nation’s capital and allow Americans to live in safe, secure neighborhoods. This is attributed to leadership from the FBI Washington Field Office. John Nance comments that Patel is doing a very good job and that the director’s social-media transparency is notable. He expresses encouragement about the FBI’s reform efforts and notes that the White House press narrative around January 6 is seen as misaligned with the pipe-bomb case. The arrest took place in Woodbridge, Virginia, a wealthy DMV suburb, prompting remarks about why the dots weren’t connected sooner.

Numerous high-profile figures, including mayors and religious leaders, were arrested by the FBI in New Jersey for corruption and money laundering. One rabbi was found to be involved in illegal kidney transplants. The arrests were part of a decade-long operation uncovering corruption on an international scale. The widespread corruption in New Jersey has shocked residents, with over 130 public officials being convicted in the past decade. Residents are disappointed in the lack of progress in combating corruption in the state.
