Behind The Scenes Recreating Epstein's Prison

We recreated Epstein's prison to debunk the top 5 government lies here.

Today we're also sharing our (almost) 1:1 recreation of the MCC Bay and Special Person Housing Unit that Epstein was locked in via a Blender File for Patrons--so you can explore it for yourself. You can find that file here. This video is a com...

Epstein's Prison Recreated in 3D (RAW FILE)

We recreated Epstein's prison in 3D for this video here. We wanted to give our Patrons the raw BLENDER 3D file to explore for yourselves. Blender is an open-source, free 3D program. A follow up video explaining how we created this will be our next post.

Here's a few screenshots in the meantime.

[EARLY ACCESS] Youtuber “proves” people are lazy but it backfires

A light investigation into Cody "Whistlin Diesel" and his recent dive into get-rich-quick schemes, claiming to prove people are "lazy". Ironically the guy he enlists to prove it, is not as clean as he thinks.

Turns out the full story involves off-shore brokerages, sketchy "prop firms" and of course, selling courses.

GOOD NEWS! $650m ponzi scheme founder charged!

After months of depressing news we finally caught a break. Today we're talking about the charges of MICHAEL SHANNON SIMS, who participated in both Traders Domain, and OmegaPro and we discussed two years ago.

JUAN CARLOS REYNOSO was also charged, both he and Michael Sims could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted -- for one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

So although I'm happy to criticize the government for th...

Stealing $21 Million With $MELANIA Coin [EARLY ACCESS]

You started this! When I discovered there might have been insider trading in a Presidential memecoin I asked all of you: "does anyone care".

Given the recent depressing shifts in our regulators it's easy to think everyone's given up holding people to account, but I'm inspired by all of your excitement to get to the truth.

What I found surprised even me. Hayden Davis and/or his team has insider traded and profited at least $21 million dollars. We actually found a bit more, but took...

BTS: Sahil Arora the Celebrity Scammer

Some director's commentary with my editor Harry Bagg into our recent video on Sahil.

Hope you enjoy, have another video coming out in the next couple weeks early for Patrons :)

confessions of a serial scammer

My full interview with Sahil, including the girlfriend arc, and many other juicy bits that I wasn't able to include in the main video.

Sahil has since gone back to his old ways, posting about celebrity coins, and it's pretty clear the whole "confession" was a stunt to get views.

Nonetheless, I think it's worth highlighting the insanity of admitting these things on camera.

BTS for this is coming on Monday!

[EARLY ACCESS] Exposing a Celebrity Scammer

One of the most insane stories I've covered.

Normally we talk to victims, but today we're talking to the villain who proudly explains his scams, and methods. Sahil Arora is a self-confessed con-man who tricked multiple celebrities into promoting crypto coins without their knowledge.

There's a lot to be said about where the line is between willful ignorance, and culpability for the influencers who promoted coins--but much of this video focuses on Sahil h...

🚨JOHN KARONY GUILTY OF 3 COUNTS OF FRAUD

Life comes at you fast.

Today the former CEO of Safemoon was found guilty of Securities Fraud Conspiracy, Wire Fraud Conspiracy, and Money Laundering Conspiracy by a jury of his peers—and I can finally close the chapter on 4 years of investigative reporting.

4 years ago I was called a “hater” for reporting this to be a fraud. I was even threatened with a lawsuit. Today:

SAFEMOON LLC is in bankruptcy

John Karony (CEO) is guilty on 3 counts of fraud

INTERVIEW: early traders make $100 million on MELANIA - ft. Chris Cook

Yesterday I interviewed a writer for the Financial Times, Chris Cook who along with his colleagues investigated how early traders in MELANIA bought BEFORE it was ever announced with huge sums of money to profit enormously from naïve investors into MELANIA's memecoin. $100 million in profits.

The natural conclusion is that Trump's followers who bought in to the first Lady's coin got scammed --but by who? Melania? Someone on her team? Hayden Davis? And in a world of financial nihilism wh...

POLL: MERCH DESIGNS

So...I've got really bad news and kinda good news:

really bad news--this year white-collar crime has become in essence--legal, literally a joke on the channel.

kinda good news--we're making merch out of it!

Two designs, one celebrating that crime is legal 🤘, one grim and depressed that crime is... well... legal. 💀

help us finalize the designs. The team disag...

Fyre Fest 2 - Interviewing Billy (early access)

Recently I got the chance to sit down with the creator of fyre fest ii and talk about the reasons behind the festival. It's a wide-ranging conversation including confronting Billy on accusations that they've lost their event partner and many people have stepped away.

Is Fyre Fest 2 happening? I highly doubt it, but I will be there if it does, documenting the whole thing.

Behind the Scenes - The Bank That Won't Let You Withdraw

A CGI / behind the scenes breakdown of the most recent episode of Coffeezilla, including the Discord Diner, Bank Vault, and city scene. Enjoy!

EARLY ACCESS - THE BANK THAT WON'T LET YOU WITHDRAW

This investigation into a massive banking failure has taken MONTHS and at times things seemed so helpless that I nearly gave up.

The victims kept me going. They trusted FDIC insured banks to keep their money safe but now some of them find their money has vanished. Up to $96 million dollars may be missing, and I tried to get to the bottom of it.

Enjoy.

LIBRA RESEARCH BREAKDOWN - PATREON EXCLUSIVE

An inside look of our blockchain trace of the $LIBRA token.

When Hayden confessed to sniping $MELANIA and $LIBRA a lot of this became confirmed so we didn't spend too much time on it in the video.

But I've been asked countless times on our process of discovering these things, and I think this story is a good example of how much you can discover on-chain!

Researcher Credit: @shady_oak1 on Twitter/X put most of this together starting from a wallet discovered by Dave Portnoy ge...

LOST EPISODE - WHO SNIPED $TRUMP

Good News / Bad News

GOOD: New exclusive Patreon content and director's commentary!

BAD: We had to scrap our upcoming episode of Coffeezilla about $TRUMP coin.

Here's what happened: 

1. We identified a trader on $TRUMP coin who made $100 million sniping (buying early).

2. The wallet clearly had early intel based on their transaction history, we were convinced this was insider information.

3. At the last second before publication, we finally found th...

$22 MILLION SCAMMERS ARRESTED!

GOOD NEWS! I wanted to talk about the recent indictment and insider texts from the founders of SQUIGGLES-- Gavin Mayo and Gabriel Hay. We covered this story back in February 2022. Almost 3 years later the DOJ and HSI announced "Two California Men Charged in Largest NFT Scheme Prosecuted to Date"

These two are accused of Wire Fraud and Stalking.

Soon after that I was approached by an insider who had even more to share. I wanted to share as a counter-point to all th...

Scammer Extorted By Russian FSB (UPDATE)

A few years ago we reported on Safemoon, a coin that had "automagically locked liquidity".

That was a lie and the founders were stealing from the cookie jar, and I exposed it...

A year later the DOJ/FBI arrested 2 of the founders while a third (Kyle Nagy) wasn't found, and is believed to be on the run.

Now a Russian source is reporting that Kyle has been extorted by 2 men for over $4 million dollars. Supposedly these men have connections to the Russian FSB which is l...

3 Ways to Launder Money with Steam

Welcome to 2025! Here's a Patreon exclusive, a look at a fun side-story I encountered during my trek through the underbelly of Valve.

Money Laundering with Steam items. There are 3 stories I found, each with unique characteristics and I think it's a fascinating look at the criminal behavior that pops up with e-economies.

It's also one that should eventually be regulated, but I'll spare you the soapbox , I stood on it pretty long with the 3-parter anyways. 😅

As a side-no...

DECEPTION, LIES, AND VALVE - EARLY ACCESS EP 3

FINALLY IT'S HERE --- the final chapter to our gambling investigation, looking at the elephant in the room... VALVE.

They are the architects of an e-economy that is built on video game cosmetics "skins". We will discover that VALVE benefits from the gambling industry we have shown in part 1/2, and has attempted to circumvent regulators in the past--successfully.

The unfortunate findings of this investigation is that:

a. Valve has a systemic gambling problem.

b. Valv...

EP 2: Exposing the Counter-Strike Gambling Industry - EARLY ACCESS!

This video is the heart of the gambling story, the nuts and bolts of how CS2 offshore gambling works, why it's hard to stop, and why casinos, influencers, and esports teams are in a race-to-the-bottom of this dirty industry.

At the heart of this, everyone KNOWS intuitively there is a large underage problem, and gambling addiction is rampant, but no one has actually fixed it.

In this episode we take a close look at all the stakeholders, what their reasonings are, and try to under...

2024 REVIEW

Reflections on 2024, how we did, how I think we can improve.

High Level Thoughts
+ some great investigations, both influencers and high impact stories featured
+ voidzilla was an unexpected hit and provided a good mix of quantity/quality between the channels
+ real world results (like CFTC enforcement on Safranko)
- too much time and resources on the Coffeezilla movie
- fighting frivolous (imo) lawsuit

For 2025
Doubling down on high-impact investigative journali...

Exposing the Hawk Tuah Scam

That’s a sentence I never thought I would say… But I had to say something when the “Hawk Tuah girl” launched a meme coin, that quickly got sniped, generated millions and fees for the team, all the while “strategic advisors” sold even MORE on the project….

So I joined their Twitter space and did my best to get some answers on what happened and why I thought it was a scam. (In my opinion of course).

Voidzilla on this soon, but for now, enjoy the disaster and let me kn...
