Speaker 2: Why are the walls wet?

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 3: Don't ask hey, listen, I have a question for you.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this voice. I have a question.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 3: You know, it's ridiculous.

10
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I've been waiting to tell you this one. Yes,

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 2: Momar Kaddaffi loved George W. Bush's Secretary of State, Condoliza Rice.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, radio kay. So Momar Kadaffi had a

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: crush on Condoliza Rice. When the rebels broke in and

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 2: rated Kaddaffi's bob Ala Ziza Pollis, apparently they found where

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: he kept his most private mementos and keepsakes, and they

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: found that Kaddaffi he was a scrap booker, So he

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: had he had one scrap book he dedicated to Condoaleza

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Rice to have stickers just like you would imagine. It

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: was a homemade scrap book filled with cutout photos of

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Condoaliza Rice.

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: When he was asked about her before he told Al Jazeera. Yes, Liza, Liza,

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: Liza love her very much.

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 4: Right.

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: But there's more to this story, because Condelieza Rice also

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: spoke to it in her memoir No Higher Honor. She wrote,

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: and I quote that Kaddaffi had a slightly eery fascination

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: with me personally asking visitors why his African princess wouldn't

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: visit him. There's moral Liza Condy. Rice wrote over time

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: that they actually met in person.

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: Oh, they did.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. It was Ramadan at the time

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: of my visit, and after sundown the quote, brother leader

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: insisted that I join him for dinner in his private kitchen.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: At the end of dinner, Kaddaffi told me that he'd

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: made a videotape for me. Uh oh, I thought, what

37
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: is this going to be? It was a quite innocent

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: collection of photos of me with world leaders, President Bush,

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin, Hoo Jin Tao and so on. He set

40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: it to the music of a song called black Flower

41
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: in the White House written for me by a Libyan composer. Oh,

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: it was weird, but at least it wasn't raunchy, Oh

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: my god, weird video.

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: It was weird, but at least it wasn't. You're sitting

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: right there. He's like, I want you to stand on

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 3: my hand with your sensible.

47
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: Punk is the worst I can play my song for

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: you to.

Speaker 2: I found that. I could not wait to tell you that.

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: Well, I have something else that's ridiculously hiding your crime

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 3: behind a shower curtain. This is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: about absurd and outrageous capers, heists and cons. It's always

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 3: ny nine percent murder free and one hundred percent ridiculous.

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: You don't heard that, Uh huh.

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: You know I love art crime.

57
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: You do love our crime. You often talk about it.

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,640

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: an American bank heist yet. It's not a statement that

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: the Brits are either like really good at robbing banks

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: or really good bank robbers, but you know, maybe Lough.

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240

00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: six two thirty eight. So it's like one six two

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: high and thirty eight is the address cross Bay Boulevard.

119
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,680

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: so sorry about that.

121
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: Then I won't send the postcard I was sing out.

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: It sat in a strip of businesses that were like

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 3: right on the street, so it wasn't its own freestanding building.

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: There were salons, lash places, the bank, and then next

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: door to the bank a charity called Angels on the

126
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: Bay Evaluation Center. Remember how in the Hatton Garden Bank

127
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: heist they pulled it off over Easter weekend? Do you

128
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: remember that?

129
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: I remember it was ever a holiday weekend.

130
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: It's a great time to do so.

131
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Holiday weeken's the best. Yeah, New Year's age.

132
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: And like you look at especially something like that, like

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: in a predominantly Christian area like Easter, this's the highest holiday.

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: Everything's gotta shut down, and.

135
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: It's a great time for a military attack, a crime spree.

136
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's exactly people are engaged otherwise.

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: A doorbuster sale too. So you know you've got like

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: this strong Italian American neighborhood, Howard Bay. You know it's

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: going to be strong Italian Catholic. So I'm sure everything

140
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: shuts down probably starting on Holy Thursday and then just

141
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: like forget about it for the rest of the time. Yes,

142
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: So it was on that Easter weekend in two thousand

143
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: and eight that the Sovereign Bank had the same fate

144
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: as Hatton Garden. The thieves broke into Angels on the

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: Bay Evaluations Center first.

146
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: That's kind of like an intake center for jobs.

147
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, here's according to their website. Let me read

Speaker 2: say anything, and say a damn thing.

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: It took me I had to do a lot of

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: divining and shuffling, and.

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah that was nothing. That was pablum saying not no.

158
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: So they basically they helped sick kids by fundraising for

159
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: pediatric health centers at local hospitals. So they throw like

160
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: a gallop ball and you know whatever.

161
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: I'm smelling scam at the no.

162
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: But at the time they also have a.

163
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Light scam, not hard crime.

164
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, just dappling. At the time, they also housed heart Share,

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: which was an assessment center that's where the assessment center

166
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: park comes in for disabled children between the ages of

167
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: three and five who needed special services. So they were

168
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: doing really good work. As an aside. Heart Share had

169
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: to close their office in Angels on the Bay in

170
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen because they lost funding from the New York

171
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: State Education Department. Good job guys, anyway, So they shared

172
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: this space together at the time, heart Space and Angels

173
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: on the Bay. So once in the Angel's office, these

174
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: robbers they put up a tension rod and they hung

175
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: a shower curtain across the hallway entrance so that they

176
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: couldn't be seen from the street, like they wanted to

177
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: make sure that no one saw get bite for a home. Yeah, exactly,

178
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: So they blocked it so it only just looks dark.

179
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: So then they go on this little vandalism spree. They

180
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: plugged the bathroom sinks and turn the faucets on all

181
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 3: the way like the dudes in Home alone or sixth

182
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: graders doing like a TikTok prank. Sure the flooding also

183
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: accomplished something important, though, It wasn't just free for all trash.

184
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: The joint.

185
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: They want the weight of the water.

186
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: It shorted out the bank's arm.

187
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: There you go, electricity blooded.

188
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. So they went into a supply closet that shared

189
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 3: a wall with the bank next door. They cut out

190
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: a gambino sized hole in the wall, and then they

191
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: used all sorts of tools sledgehammers, big old drills, pick axes, crowbars,

192
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe a.

193
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: Thermal lance, maybe a ratchet, or maybe.

194
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: A powerful jack or in a ratchet. These are all

195
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: the necessary vault breaking tools.

196
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: You got to have a powerful legs, you gotta.

197
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: Have a powerful lance, powerful jack. So they use all

198
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: these tools, right, They used a thermal jack and a

199
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: powerful lance. Who knows, mix it up. They had like

200
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: the parts that you snap off and then put on

201
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: another one exactly so they get through the steel reinforced wall.

202
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: That's a footstick.

203
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 2: Damn.

204
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now they're in the bank a foot steel Yeah,

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: and they're just gon, let's just steel reinforce. So, okay,

206
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: much weight that is, Let's just say it was Okay,

207
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: it was quite and it was, but let's say it

208
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: was all you know me. So they go into the vault,

209
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: they go to the safety deposit boxes and they just

210
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: have a field day. They go to town. They busted

211
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: into about one hundred boxes out of the four hundred

212
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: that were in there.

213
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: That must be fun.

214
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's got.

215
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: To be, you know what I mean, aside from it all,

216
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: it's got to be a real other than the violation.

217
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: And they take they take jewelry, gold, and one hundred

218
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in cash, so all totaled, it was like

219
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: four hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff that they actually well,

220
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 3: you know it's a.

221
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: Small banka bank. You said that.

222
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: So before leaving Angels on the Bay, they decided to

223
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: really wreck shop. The flooding wasn't enough. They wanted to

224
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: cover their tracks, and they did it by like creating chaos.

225
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: They sprayed the whole place with fire, extinguishers and that

226
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: with plus the flooded sinks and then just them tossing

227
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: stuff around the place was a mess, which you know

228
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: is especially crappy for a nonprofit. Really, No, this irritated

229
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: me almost as much as that hermit I told you

230
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: about who stole from the summer camp for disables, Like, yeah,

231
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: that one really like that one really ticked me off.

232
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: This guy that, I mean, it's just like why anyway,

233
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: So back to the heist. In its fallout March twenty fourth,

234
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, the bank opened back up, like

235
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: you know, the birds are chirping, and you know he

236
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: has risen and they're back end. So much to their shock,

237
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: all of the safe deposit boxes were open and empty,

238
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: and there was water seeping into the bank. So they

239
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: called the FBI, NYPD Joint Bank Robbery Task Force bboo,

240
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: baboo beep, get over here. Sovereign Bank spokesperson Mike Armstrong said, quote.

241
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: Some safety deposit boxes were damaged, but the majority were not.

242
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: The flooding was at the north side of the branch,

243
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: adjacent to the vault. People saw it on TV, read

244
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: it in the papers, heard it from hbors, got about

245
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: one hundred calls. We are proactively calling impacted customers this

246
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: afternoon and notifying them we are busting our chops, trying

247
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: to open it regular hours eight thirty am. We have

248
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: a special team in place that will be meeting with

249
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: these customers. Sarah, who's busting his chops, busting his chopping,

250
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: everybody there. They're taking the pork chops, taking the mutton chops.

251
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, bust toop, chop chop. And also, like everybody had

252
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: seen it on the radio. They see it on the TV.

253
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: He heard on the radio. It's like the new Wu

254
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: tang out. Everybody heard about it.

255
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: Everybody, everybody wants it. Speakers, your woofers, your tweeters. So

256
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: the bank called Carol Verdi, she's the vice president of

257
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: educational services at Angels on the Bay, and they let

258
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: her know, b boo baboo bee beeps, there's water here

259
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: and we got robbed.

260
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: Oh my godd news. I think that's the wrong order.

261
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: But yes, yeah, first of all, there's water, so Verdy

262
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: she's stunned. She goes and runs down to the storefront.

263
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: The place is under three inches of water inside, but

264
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: they won't let her in, she said. Quote one of

265
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: the detectives asked us if we had a shower curtain

266
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: hanging in the hallway. We said no, we couldn't get access.

267
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: They did, let us take a look from the front door.

268
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: All you could see was water, so okay, as far

269
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: as the eye can see, it was under So she

270
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: was especially heartbroken by the loss of the collection of

271
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: photos and slides that you know, documented the history of

272
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: this place. Oh, all these mementos.

273
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: They're just lost in the water damage.

274
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally damaged. So she said that was tough to take.

275
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 3: That was our treasure. So you know, that sat there

276
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: for a few days and everything's just getting absolutely soaked. Quote,

277
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: people don't realize in here was my vault twenty six

278
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: years worth of pictures of children who've come through here. Yeah,

279
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: so you got all these disabled kids that they're helping

280
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: and like, you know, really ill, terminally ill kids, and

281
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, they didn't think of that. So now I

282
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: really don't like these guys. They're having fun in the

283
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: vault like whoo bee. But like you know, anyway, you made.

284
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: Me feel guilty for routing them.

285
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: Okay, what we are, we changed, we have grown you

286
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: did you.

287
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: Know what that was, Elizabeth?

288
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: I contained multitudes, Verity in her staff. They start cleaning

289
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: up the mess terrible. Over the four days that the

290
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: water sat stagnant in the office, mold and mildew started

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: to collect. Everyone had to wear respirators as they tried

292
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: to salvage all the materials that they could. The FBI

293
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: called in because it's bank robbery. They brought in special

294
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: evidence recovery crews to collect all the forensic evidence that

295
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: they could because it was damaged not only by the

296
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: flooding but all the fire extinguish your phone. But the

297
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: charity still had kids to help, so they got down

298
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: to business. They're cleaning. They started finding random pieces of

299
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: jewelry dropped by the thieves as they ran the phone. Yeah,

300
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: they're like, this is an earring, this is a tacky earring.

301
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: Did anyone drop their emerald earring? So Veriti starts thinking

302
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: about how could the thieves have possibly gotten into the

303
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: office because there was no sign of forced entry. Then

304
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: she remembered, apparently she had a bad memory. About a

305
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: week earlier, someone's smashed the front window of Angels on

306
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: the Bay and investigators, at first they thought it was

307
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: just vandalism because nothing was missing. Who knows why people do.

308
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: But now police thought that the thieves broke the window,

309
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: took the keys to Angels on the Bay, and then

310
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: made a copy of it, came back, put the original back.

311
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: What yeah, that same night.

312
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: Or that same night, and then they hopped back in

313
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: through it, hopped out through the broken window, and then

314
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, there's nothing missing, but they have copied

315
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: the key at some point. That's what Verity said of

316
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: it all. If they put their minds to something good,

317
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: they could probably cure cancer.

318
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: I'd get a point.

319
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: FBI spoke to Matthew bertrand said, quote, it seems like

320
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: some more planning went into this than most typical burglaries.

321
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so, Matthew.

322
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. So this wasn't the only money heist in New

323
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: York that weekend. A man post as an armored car

324
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: deliveryman and stole twenty six thousand dollars from Telemundal Incorporated

325
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: in Long Island. The cops were able to arrest one

326
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: suspect in that robbery, and they thought maybe there was

327
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: a connection. So the cops in the Fedes they got

328
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: to work, They detected, they investigated like this. They zeroed

329
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: in on four dudes all from Staten Island. Bekim Fisaku

330
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: Beckham Fisaku.

331
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: Of Strong Island.

332
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: Go on, yeah thirty seven Mislim ROOTSI thirty eight year old.

333
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: I think they're Croatian.

334
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm guessing.

335
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: Then there's Joseph Codrello Italian thirty four Yeah. And lastly

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: they eyed Lee de Vanzo thirty nine years.

337
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: Old, also guessing Italian.

338
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. So as spring turned to summer and summer turned

339
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: to fall, the cops kept building a case. They had

340
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: a string of bank robberies and they were sure they

341
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: knew who was in that crew that did them all.

342
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: So they set up a sting, a major sting called

343
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: Operation Turkey Shoot. When we come back, we'll find out

344
00:16:50,280 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: how hunting was for the fuzz. Hello is Saron?

345
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Click click boom, Yes, I'm ready for the Turkey Shoot.

346
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: When we last met, four guys were persons of interest

347
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: in a string of bank robberies in New York. This

348
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: included that heist on Sovereign Bank and Queens. They made

349
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: their way into a vault through a neighboring business, just

350
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: like the Baker Street heist, sure which inspired the movie

351
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: The Bank Job. So after this robbery, the police received

352
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 3: an anonymous tip. Apparently the gang was going to strike

353
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: again and this time it would be at the Richmond

354
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: County Savings Bank in Staten Island.

355
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: They received an anonymous tip. Interesting, these guys are going

356
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: to rob the police. I wonder who got pissed.

357
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. And so the police, though, they set

358
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: up surveillance and they waited.

359
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 2: Was it like an angry partner. Was it somebody who

360
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: was on the inside who didn't get their base.

361
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: So I think it's someone who wanted in on this crew.

362
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: So the police they they set up their surveillance on

363
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: the day before Thanksgiving at eight pm. So obviously these

364
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: guys are picking another long holiday weekend. Sarin, close your.

365
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: Eyes, yes closed.

366
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: You are an officer of the Emergency Service Unit assisting

367
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: the NYPD Major K Squad with a sting. In your job,

368
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: you respond to lots of different calls. Sometimes it's for

369
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: someone threatening to jump off a bridge or building. Maybe

370
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: there are people stuck in elevators, a purp could have

371
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: barricaded themselves inside a building refusing to come out, or

372
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: maybe they even had a hostage. You are the canine

373
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: handler for the unit. You're a young guy. Your family's

374
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: a little irritated that you're working on Thanksgiving, but they

375
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: know that you do important work. It's four in the

376
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: morning and you are currently in a van parked behind

377
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: the Richmond County Savings Bank. The bank sits in a

378
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: large parking lot adjacent to a large mall anchored by

379
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: a Macy's. There's a burger king at the edge of

380
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: the parking lot. You are relieved that there are no

381
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: rabid Black Friday shoppers camping out early here, or if

382
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: they are there, way over on the other side of

383
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: the mall complex. For now, the night is still and quiet.

384
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: Your trusty canine Skipper is laying at your feet in

385
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: the van, snoozing away. Suddenly your radio squawks. You get

386
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: word that the surveillance team has eyes on the bank

387
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: robber crew. You see the robber boys, the fellows have

388
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: busted into the Pearl Vision eyeglasses store next to the bank.

389
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: It looks like they're following the same game plan they

390
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: used for the sovereign bank robbery. This is dusty bum behavior,

391
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: you think to yourself. That's the same thing that Elizabeth,

392
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: co host of Ridiculous Crime, mutters to herself when she

393
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: sees clips of people bipping cars or mass shoplifting in

394
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: the Bay area. That is bum behavior, true story, dusty

395
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: embarrassing bumm behavior. Anyway, So the surveillance team says that

396
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: they can tell that the hece crew has made it

397
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: into the basement and they're now working to drill into

398
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: the vault. You don't have cameras in there, but even

399
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: you and the van can hear the faint sound of

400
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: drills and jackhammers coming from the building. You then hear

401
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: the sound of the bank alarm ringing trip the system.

402
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 3: You hear on the radio that the strike team is

403
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: moving in. Skipper lets out a little wine. You get

404
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: your orders to move. You slide open the door of

405
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: the van, and you and Skipper jog over to the

406
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: back door of the bank. You want to be there

407
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: to catch these fools if they try to escape out

408
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: the back. Your radio crackles to life. The officers have

409
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 3: entered the bank vault, but no one is in there.

410
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: Their hole in the wall is intcomplete, so they never

411
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 3: even made it into the bank itself. Another team is

412
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: dispatched to the Pearl Vision store, also empty. Everyone is perplexed,

413
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: where did these guys go? You start to walk the

414
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: perimeter with Skipper, do your thing. Boy, that's you talking

415
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: to Skipper, not me talking to you. So Skipper, he

416
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: sniffs the ground as you walk along the outer wall

417
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: of the building. As you pass the dumpster, a rat

418
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: squeaks and scurries by. Skipper's uninterested.

419
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: What the Elliott Sabler was that Skipper, Skipper is.

420
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: A professional who knows how to separate work from playing.

421
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: Skipper works hard and plays hard, don't get me wrong,

422
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: but Skipper also understands work life balance and that there's

423
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: a time and a place for everything. Like if Skipper

424
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: were off the clock, heat haul tushy to chase the

425
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: rat and maybe head over to the burger king dumpster

426
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: for little treat. Not now, Skipper's got robber boys, iron

427
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: or bacon exactly. Suddenly Skipper stops. He looks up at

428
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: the soft above you. Do you know what a soft is?

429
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: Saren, Yes, like a like a decorative feature that is

430
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: elevated above you. And it's kind of like a three

431
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: dimensional thing. It's like a not like an arch, but

432
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: like you know.

433
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: Ye underside of a roof overhang really that's been covered

434
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 3: up by a finishing material. So it makes a building

435
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: look solid. It implies projection beams.

436
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: It's a decorative element.

437
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yes, it's decorative. It's basically just plywood or

438
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: something covering up the space between the end of the

439
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: roof hang and the water. So Skipper stares up at

440
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: this dismal tan stucco. You stand there in silence, just

441
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: you and the dog and the night. Then you hear

442
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: a rustling. You see the stucco crackle slightly under some weight.

443
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: You pull your collapsible baton from the hook on your

444
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: tactical pants. With a flick of the wrist. It extends

445
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: out to a very formidable weapon. Skipper continues to whine.

446
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: You reach up and whack the soffet with all you've got.

447
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: There's a cracking sound. More stucco crumbles away. You whack

448
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: it one more time. Now there's a scuttling noise coming

449
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: from the area. Your unit mates hear you're beating of

450
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: the wall, and they come running around the building. You

451
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 3: give it one last smack. What and like a little

452
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: boy at his sister's King Samira, you've hit the jackpod.

453
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 3: Like tamer and candy spilling from a SpongeBob pinata. The

454
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 3: robber boys tumble out of the overhanging down onto the pavement.

455
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: Skipper loses his ever loving colorblind mind and bark something

456
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: fierce at the pulps who lay on the greasy assphalt

457
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: covered in drywall dust. You pull them back and congratulate

458
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: him on a job well done. You nabbed the Sovereign

459
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: banks burglars, Skipper. More than one hundred police officers chilling

460
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: in that parking lot waiting for the robbers. Two New

461
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: York City Police helicopters circled overhead. Armored trucks were idling

462
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: in the lot. The men they're arraigned at Stapleton Criminal Court.

463
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: They faced charges of burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools,

464
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: and criminal mischief. That's always such a delightful image.

465
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: Mischief something the ham burglary got charged.

466
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 3: With exactly so Joseph Codrello he pleaded guilty in April

467
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: of two thousand and nine to third degree burglary and

468
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: was sentenced to one to three years in prison. I

469
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: only know this because he got pinched on a residential

470
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: burglary charge later, many years later, and the article about

471
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: that mentioned his sentencing for the Sovereign Bank. The residential

472
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: burglary was spectacular, by the way. He tried to smash

473
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: a glass door with a patio brick, but he only

474
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: left a big scratch in the glass. Then he tried

475
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: to and he tried to body slam his way through

476
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: a wooden door.

477
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: He had to go to prison, Toby, but you couldn't

478
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: break glass.

479
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: Right, and then he only managed to like slightly crack

480
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: the frame, so he never made it into the house.

481
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: But he did manage to get caught on tape. So oh,

482
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what became of meslim Rutzi. I'm guessing

483
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: he pleaded out and did a little time. The ones

484
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: we really need to look at are Beckim Ficiccu and

485
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: Lee Devanzo. So they're already on federal probation when they get.

486
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: Oh when they got busted, uh huh.

487
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: Plus Ficiccu had a marijuana possession case in Staten Island,

488
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 3: so they got they got backlogs and stuff. I don't

489
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 3: know what Ficiccu pleaded, but he was out a few

490
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: years later and he got busted for running around with

491
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: another robbery crew. And I did see that someone who

492
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: I think is his brother, Adrian, was arrested in connection

493
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 3: with a ten million dollar international jewelry heist crew.

494
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: Wow, so it looks like the whole.

495
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: Family they're all tied up in an Eastern European crime syndicate.

496
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: Lee Devanzo, how did he plead?

497
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: How did Lee plead guilty? Guilty with an explanation? Sir?

498
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: Yes, he was sentenced to thirty six months to five years.

499
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: Who is Lee Devanzo Zarin?

500
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: He is actually the neighbor to my ex wife's brother

501
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: in law.

502
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: That's exactly.

503
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. He was a kind of a jerky is that

504
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: the wedding? But we didn't get along. But I do

505
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: remember he had really good advice. He told me something

506
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: about an investment opportunity in plastics.

507
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: Oh good, that's plastics, Lee Devanzo.

508
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

509
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: I think that's a different lead.

510
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh different one.

511
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. This is what his wife, Drita said quote. When

512
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: I started dating Lee, I knew he had a business.

513
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 3: He had the money from the car wash and I

514
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: was working. When we moved in together, it was normal

515
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: like anybody. We'd go through the bills. It wasn't like

516
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: Lee was like I got I got it. Here's twenty

517
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: thousand dollars on the table. We did it together as

518
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: for bank burglary and stuff like that. No way, I

519
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: never thought of anything like that, because to me, that's insane.

520
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: He said, when I was younger, I did bad things,

521
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 3: but I turned my life around. I didn't know he

522
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 3: was still involved.

523
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds legit to me. I mean, sounds pretty

524
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: extra accurate.

525
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: No, I am.

526
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: He's expecting twenty grand to go on the table. But

527
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: if that doesn't happen, what's he doing? Roberts?

528
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: He had a car wash? All right, Zara, let's take

529
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: a break, all right. We know we know the name

530
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: Lee Devanza.

531
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: Think about Levanza, the one I know, the one you.

532
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: Know, there's one I know. They're probably like a bunch

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: of others. Anyway, when we come back, I'm going to

534
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: show you how involved you know, Davanzo said, I'm not

535
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: involved in these things anymore. I'll show you how involved

536
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: he was.

537
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: Zarin, how you doing? Are you doing? Remember?

538
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: Oh I got to hit the Gupini? So Lee Devanzo,

539
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: Hey ma, so Lee. He was part of a crew

540
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: busted for the sovereign bank heist in two thousand. Okay.

541
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: So He had been released from federal prison in two

542
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: thousand and six and says pre bank heist. He was

543
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: in a in federal lock up after being indicted in

544
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: two thousand and one alongside Fat Joe Gambino for drug

545
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: deals and bank robberies going all the way back to

546
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: the eighties. Whoa, Yeah, this was not his first time

547
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: in prison, not by a long shot.

548
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: He was not a young fellow, No, the spring Chicken. No.

549
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the thing is, it's like in the

550
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: articles he talked about the eighties, but he's not. He

551
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 3: was not that old, so I think it's like as

552
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: a teen sure. Yeah. Anyway, Lee, he's the son of

553
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: Leo Davanzo Devonzo.

554
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: Ah, that was the one I met.

555
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: Leo was the son. Leo was the son of Louis Devonzo.

556
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Oh.

557
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so all this line of men had mob ties. Lee,

558
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: though he was perhaps the tightest with the mob. He

559
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: was the head of the New Springfield Boys.

560
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tight with the mob.

561
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

562
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 2: When you are the head of a crime family, well

563
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: as tight as you can.

564
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: The government calls the New Springfield Boys the farm team

565
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: for the Bonano family, the farm team.

566
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: Travel.

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of family family, who is Lee Devonzo's cousin. I'll

568
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: give you a hint. He provided me with one of

569
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 3: my all time favorite surreal moments in modern.

570
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: History, musician Jack de Jeannette.

571
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: No, I'll give you another hint. He's a wacko perv.

572
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: I'll give you another hint.

573
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: He wavy gravy, his hair dye runs. Oh. Rudy Julian, Yes.

574
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 3: None other than Rudy Giuliani is Devonzo's second cousin.

575
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: Oh really, yes, you know in Rudy Giuliani's dad was

576
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: in the mob.

577
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh no, he's totally So he like his cousin Lee.

578
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: Just like his cousin, Rudy had a love of attention,

579
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 3: and like his cousin, he wanted to be a star.

580
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: So Lee and his wife Drita joined the inaugural cast

581
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: of the v H one reality show Mob Wives in

582
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: twenty eleven. And I think you may have heard me

583
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: listening to an episode of Mobwives here head, that's what

584
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: that was. So Lee used to go out with Sammy

585
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: the Bull Gravano's daughter Karen oh Man. Yeah, this was

586
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: before he became a rat, I believe.

587
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: And he got busted doing selling ecstasy in Arizona, right,

588
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: So in Mexico.

589
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: He cooperated with the feds. Sammy the Bull.

590
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: Did it became the first big snitch.

591
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Karen Yeah. And so Karen had to up

592
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: and move to Arizona to get away from the heat

593
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: that her dad caused. But then at the start of

594
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: the show this Mob Wives, she's on that first season,

595
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: she's moving, She's moving back to New York for more heat.

596
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: She wants to write a book about being Sammy the

597
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: Bull's daughter, this sweet gal who she totally inherited her

598
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: dad's jawline. It's uncanny, God bless her. And so there

599
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: was friction between Karen and Drita, Lee's wife, because Drida

600
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: married Lee, Karen's ex. How do I know all this?

601
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: I watched the first half of the first episodes of.

602
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: Mobwives, only the first half.

603
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: Wowie wow wow. It was so bad. I couldn't make

604
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: it all the way through. But then again, I'm not

605
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: a reality TV person.

606
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: Your mask.

607
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: It was all down the face. If I were to

608
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: watch TV, which I really don't, and I can't stress

609
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: that enough, I wouldn't like reality TV. It's icky. I

610
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: don't like it if.

611
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: It's fake or because it's just like so.

612
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 3: It's so, it's they're demeaning themselves everything. No, but I

613
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: think part of the problem is I watch it and

614
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: I think, like the desperation for some sort of fame

615
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: or recognition that they can't even put their finger on,

616
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: and then they're willing to demean themselves and be foolish.

617
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: And it's yeah, it's just it's they want it so much, yeah, exactly.

618
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: And they're willing to debase themselves to well.

619
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the gals on there, they're all trying to outdo

620
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: each other, and what I assume is a bid to

621
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: become a fan favorite. Sure, you know, so they either

622
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: want to be really relatable or just totally outrageous. So

623
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: Drita delivers on the outrageous promise. So she gives this

624
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: soliloquy in the show about how she was down to fight.

625
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: She's a serious fighter who would physically assault anyone who

626
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: ever got in her way or the whatnots and so

627
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: on and so forth. So she said that she comes

628
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: from a lawbiiting Albanian family who disowned her when she

629
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 3: took up with a mobster. That's the story that she

630
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: tells on the show. But her cousin, Florina Kaja aka Flow,

631
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: is a fellow reality TV star on something called Bad

632
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: Girls club. I don't know what that is. It sounds

633
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: trashy and let's say it sounds dusty. So apparently Flow's

634
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: family is all mobbed up with an Albanian crime family.

635
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: That doesn't make sense, like the narrative of like, oh

636
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: my family disowned, No, come on, you know whatever. Anyways,

637
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: I think her family is like, don't bring us into

638
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: this stupid show.

639
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: If you're going to go on TV, do not mention us.

640
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what, I don't buy her story whatever.

641
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: She has a new family, Noma. So in the part

642
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: of the show that I watched, Lee was locked up

643
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: in prison somewhere and she was holding down the ford

644
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: at home. He called her every day and then he

645
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: would give her lists of stuff that he wanted her

646
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: to buy and ship out to him, pretty name like

647
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: deli case items. He wanted meat and cheese.

648
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: You need to just snacks, like you need to get

649
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: some blocks of ice and send this out to me.

650
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: There was a thrilling exchange about vanilla coke and how

651
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 3: she hasn't been able to find it, but Lee stresses

652
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: that the other gents and lock up have it, and

653
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: so she must be able to score it for him.

654
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: Somewhere else. I want to slice the pizza from that place, Gina.

655
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: You know one.

656
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know you could ship perishables into inmates. I

657
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: did not know you could send them.

658
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: Cold tests of reality TV.

659
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: I suppose so who knew? You know? So he eventually

660
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: gets out. He and Rita. They they ran their happy

661
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: home together and Drita was on the show until twenty sixteen.

662
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: That same year, she got arrested for fighting some lady

663
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: on the street.

664
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: Did she warned us?

665
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: Dusty? So Lee never consented to appear on the show though,

666
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: and so his photo is blurred out. He's on the show,

667
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: but yeah. So then twenty nineteen comes around Drita and

668
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: Lee they get arrested after the police raided their house

669
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: and found it off. They found two guns loaded with

670
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: hollow points hidden in the kitchen and master bedroom. Woo

671
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: pain killers and anti anxiety medications like hydro codone and

672
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: xanax in large enough quantities to matter. Two scales. I

673
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: have a kitchen scale.

674
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: So it's not covered in powder. It is.

675
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: It's covered in flower, double O flower.

676
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: That's pretty easy to test.

677
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: It is just I go into the kitchen and I

678
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: rub it on my on my gums. I'm like, that's

679
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: not double low, that's a bread flour. Too much gluten. Okay. Anyway,

680
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: So ziplock bags used for the purpose of unlawfully packaging a.

681
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: Narcotic drug legal zip blocks.

682
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: That's another thing. They're going to bust me because I

683
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: got ziplocks.

684
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the hollow point bullets.

685
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: Don't have those large amounts of cash. I don't have

686
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 3: those multiple cell phones, which I do.

687
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: I have multiple cell phones. And if they counted coins.

688
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: As cash then yeah, yeah, exactly. And then large quantities

689
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: of weed in the basement within easy access of Devonzo's daughters,

690
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: one of whom is twelve.

691
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: I got you bo that.

692
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: So they faced charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance,

Speaker 2: Yeah.

701
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: So the charges against Rita were dropped in February twenty

702
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: twenty since she wasn't named in the search one.

703
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: I thought she rolled over on her husband.

704
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: She doesn't. She's no rat, Saren rat. Her her like

00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 3: it's amazing.

709
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm looking out here.

710
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a taste. I got enough, but I

00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 3: was like, anymore of this and it gets sick headache.

714
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Back pain, I got brain freeze. August

715
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty, Lee Devonzo pled guilty to being a

716
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: felon in possession of a weapon because yeah, don't forget,

717
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 3: he's got fun fact. Lee's trial was the first in

718
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: person hearing in the Brooklyn Federal Court since the start

719
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: of the COVID lockdown in March twenty twenty.

720
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: Way to be first, he brought us back in be best.

721
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, feel back better. He was sentenced to sixty

722
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: four months. The prosecution wanted forty six months, but the

723
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 3: judge pointed out Devonzo's rap sheet and they're like, look.

724
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: At this cat scrolls down.

725
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's forty six. He's like, let's flip that. I'm

726
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: gonna give him sixty four, So you flip the numbers.

727
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 3: He had multiple violations of a supervised release, six prior convictions,

728
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: two of which were at the federal level. So the

729
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 3: judge said, quote two prior sentences of approximately sixty months

730
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: were not sufficient to deter the defendant from serious.

731
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: Crimes to four more months.

732
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 3: Give him four more. But see here's the thing. That

733
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 3: wasn't the only legal issue facing Lee. So between December

734
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen when they had the raid on the house

735
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: and is guilty plea August twenty twenty, Lee was arrested.

736
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: What for now, There was a year.

737
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: Long investigation that ended in a huge drug bust. Twenty

738
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: four people were arrested, including Lee. A lot of Battalian

739
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 3: names on the arrest list. See some Eastern Europeans. You'll

740
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: find out most of them were from the Tri state area,

741
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: but there was one dude from California and I'm going

742
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 3: to guess as a special investigator that he was the

743
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: Weed connection. So anyway, the investigation was called Operation on

744
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: the Ropes. So we've gone from Turkey Shoot on the ropes,

745
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: Operation on the Ropes.

746
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: So like Muhammad Ali's boxing strategy, you'll.

747
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: Find out why ropes is in there. It's amazing. It

748
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: involved multiple counties in New York and New Jersey. There

749
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 3: was an investigation that uncovered a plan to convert legitimate

750
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: candies into weed candies.

751
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: So the thing that suburban parents always worry about, they

752
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: were really doing. We're gonna take real candies and turn

753
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: them into weed candies.

754
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so they busted a warehouse in New.

755
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: Jersey, take it back, suburban parents.

756
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: Seized in this coordinated rate were about twenty one thousand

757
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: packages of candy infused with suspected THHC, eleven hundred pounds

758
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 3: of suspected marijuana, eleven hundred pounds of weeds, over six

759
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: thousand flavored THHC vape cartridges.

760
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: Huh yeah.

761
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: So the street value of all of this one point

762
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 3: nine million dollars. Okay, Another ten million in cash and

763
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: assets were seized That included twenty one high end exotic

764
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 3: cars Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentley's Rolls, Royces, Mercedes Benzes worth almost

765
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: three million So let's talk about those twenty one thousand

766
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: packages of candy, twelve hundred of them where THHC infused

767
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: sour Patch watermelon candy packages labeled Stoner Patch edibles. There

768
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 3: were six hundred and fifty Baked Burgers edibles, and that's

769
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: with a Z on the burgers.

770
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 2: Of course, that makes it hip.

771
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: And then there were over three thousand THHC infused nerd ropes.

772
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 2: You can convince me Baked Burgers was a rapper today and.

773
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 3: Be completely oh, yeah, I've told you my Mike Jones

774
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 3: story that Mike Jones is a rapper, right. I didn't

775
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: know that. And I had students who were saying that

776
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 3: there was a guy and I thought they were making

777
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: it because he doesn't have a traditional rapper like his

778
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 3: name is Mike Jones, Like that's your front No, yeah,

779
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: And I was like that's enough. I thought they were

780
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: yelling their friend's name and I was like stop it,

781
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: and they're like, no, he's a rapper, like no one's

782
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: name Mike. Just get out of here. And then someone

783
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 3: back in the day told me was it walka Flaka?

784
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: I thought it was a muppet. I was like, I

785
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: legit thought it was anyway, nerd ropes, I guess it's

786
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 3: a real candy. That's like sure, I think it's sort

787
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: of like licorice, but like vine. That's where on the

788
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: ropes comes from. Nerd ropes. Yeah, so they were individually

789
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: repackaged and read pink, yellow and blue wrappers, not their

790
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: w r A peeps.

791
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: A lot of work.

792
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: There's a lot of work. They had over eleven hundred

793
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: tic TAC type containers with no labels on them. That's

794
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: so highly suspect, the no label tic tech thing. Numerous

795
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 3: boxes and trays of nerd ropes in various stages of

796
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 3: the infusion process. Okay, and then they had over sixty

797
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: five hundred THHD vape cartridges in a variety of sixteen

798
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: different flavors.

799
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: How much could they possibly have been getting for all

800
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: these THHD candies? Like, why not just gea the money

801
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: you make? It?

802
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: It's not legal, sure, but I mean you can crank up,

803
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: like if you're in crime, just go steal them from

804
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 3: somebody where it is legal, to take them to where

805
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: it's illegal and sell them.

806
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: Why have they like the whole I don't know organization.

807
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: They did a job for them, they did they created.

808
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: Work someone's got it. So they are total job creators.

809
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: So the rings leader was a man named Dylan Advenski

810
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: d y l o N he was. He's a man

811
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: with very long eyelashes. Oh I saw his picture. Apparently

812
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: he was also the owner of D's Donuts, a gourmet

813
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 3: donut truck.

814
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: Donuts.

815
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: You like these donuts? Gourmet donut truck, so Monmouth County

816
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 3: Prosecutor Christopher Gramacioni said.

817
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: Quote.

818
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: The network operators used regular candy to further their scheme,

819
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: buying hundreds of boxes of product from wholesalers before transporting

820
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: it to a processing facility where they would unwrap the

821
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: individual pieces of candy, lay it out on trays, and

822
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 3: then spraying the candy with a concentrated formula of THHC

823
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 3: distill it. Once the THCHC dried on the candy, it

824
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 3: was repackaged as an illegal marijuana edible product for distribution

825
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 3: across New Jersey.

826
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: Do you want to be in crime or do you

827
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: want to be a factory forms?

828
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like a Willy Wonka. All I keep

829
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: thinking is that, you know, in every kind of drug movie,

830
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: like drug Distribute, like you know whatever, they have the

831
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: scene where people are sweating and they're wearing like their

832
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 3: undershirts packing the coke.

833
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the topless us can't steal the drugs.

834
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: And so I like to imagine this candy factory where

835
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: everyone's just in their skivvies like with bandanas, trying to

836
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 3: keep the sweat off the candies, and they're just like.

837
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: Slaving like heavy machine guns at the door watching them exactly. Uh,

838
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm the lightest slinging.

839
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 3: According to one of the chief of detectives, John McCabe,

840
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: he said, quote the packaging on this THHC laced quote

841
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: candy is almost indistinguishable from regular drugstore candy. Your kids

842
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 3: might maybe getting high right before your eyes if you're

843
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: not paying close attention.

844
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: The kids are, and they're not doing it with candy.

845
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 2: They're real drugs.

846
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: This I legal operation makes juveniles and anyone who consumes

847
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 3: these products susceptible to random levels of drugs toxicity.

848
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand his point, but I think you're

849
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: going to be eating this candy or are they gonna

850
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: be like the parents not the kids?

851
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

852
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 3: One of the Middletown police chief, Craig Weber, president of

853
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 3: the Monmouth count Chiefs Association, so hold onto your hats,

854
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: pull up your pants. He chimed in the operation, uses

855
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: their own wrappers and labels to repackage the drug infused candy.

856
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: There were no sanitary measures taken, no safety apparatus.

857
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: Now we're down to the factory safety nobly, but they're

858
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: sweating on it was not a pass osha. Do you

859
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: know how many incidents.

860
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: They had and there were no certainly no standards in

861
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: place to ensure the product was not contaminated. Customers of

862
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: these products had no way of knowing exactly what they

863
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 3: were ingesting they're gonna be talking about.

864
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: They didn't have a fifteen minute lunch.

865
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 3: Poy didn't have a sneeze guard. So Lee, don't forget

866
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: about him. He gets charged with fourth degree conspiracy to

867
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 3: possess marijuana and fourth degree possession of marijuana in excess

868
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: of fifty grams, which is like fourth removed anyway, So

869
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: Lee got five or so years back in twenty twenty.

870
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 3: I guess he's still locked up. As for Dreda, I

871
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: think she may about to be on some new show

872
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: that they're bringing back Mob Wives or something or some

873
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: other I don't know. I saw a post on Reddit

874
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: where fans were desperate for her to join the real housewives.

875
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: Like mob wife after lock up.

876
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: Mob wife afterlife, so whatever with her. That's the saga

877
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: of the Sovereign Bank heist. Lots of twists and turns. Really,

878
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 3: we go from wrecking a kid's charity to weed edibles telling.

879
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 2: You that was quite the roller coaster.

880
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: What's your ridiculous takeaways there?

881
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm high as hell just from hearing that story. I mean,

882
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 2: I'm just like over here, like, oh man, I'm kind

883
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: of hungry. Now I need to lie down.

884
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be suspicious of nerd ropes constantly.

885
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 2: I do find it amusing that they decided to go

886
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: into crime and then you know, basically as I've said,

887
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: invented job, but they also do like the suburban nightmare

888
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: of like we're gonna make candy, right, it looks like candy,

889
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna give it to kids. I'm like, so someone

890
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: actually did do that.

891
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 3: They did it, damn it, and they probably Candida out Halloween.

892
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, And now I gotta be like, oh, we

893
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: gotta apologize to my mother and were like, all right,

894
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: look you get one on your slide.
