    The Suncruz Casinos Fraud And Jack Abramoff
    Nov 5 2025

    Jay and Paul delve deep into a case so bizarre that it later spawned a movie starring Kevin Spacey and Jon Lovitz (need we say more?) Jack Abramoff was a well connected Republican lobbyist famous for wearing a black fedora hat and making big things happen for his clients. He found a golden opportunity when SunCruz Casinos, a South Florida based offshore gambling company, went up for sale. But like all stories of greed- this Golden Goose wasn't enough. The investigation and trials would end up unraveling the careers of dozens of people, including a Congressman while a famous entrepreneur was allegedly gunned down by the Mob.

    One Man Crime Wave:Jerry Chilli
    Oct 27 2025
    Among the wildest characters in recent Mob history is Gerard “Jerry” Chilli. A captain in the Bonanno crime family, Chilli was behind the murder of an undercover DEA agent that sparked the largest manhunt in U.S. history to find the killer. It was later made into a movie, “Dead and Alive,” starring Tony Danza. That was all before Chilli resettled in Hollywood, Florida to begin a new phase in his crime career.
