Fear By Subscription: Staten Island DA Targets Journalist

December 26, 2025

A Staten Island district attorney subscribed to a journalist’s newsletter, read it for months, then called the police and claimed fear for his life. That is not satire. It is the record. After voluntarily receiving dozens of mass emails sent to 33,000 subscribers, DA Michael McMahon filed a felony criminal-contempt complaint against journalist Richard Luthmann—over…
The Deal Was Immunity: The Oakland Bribery Case, Part 1

December 24, 2025

Federal prosecutors say the Oakland bribery case exposes City Hall corruption. The evidence tells a different story. The entire indictment leans on one man: Mario Juarez, a witness facing massive fraud exposure who walked away clean after cooperating. Every incriminating text came from him. Every “deal” was framed by him. Recorded evidence shows David Duong…
Framed and Forgotten By McMahon

December 22, 2025

Victor Abraham lost 345 days to a justice system that chose speed over truth. At 19, he was jailed on rigged eyewitness IDs, buried evidence, and a prosecution that refused to stop.

Six months after Staten Island District Attorney Michael E.

Bullyville Blows Smoke

December 19, 2025

James McGibney has perfected a gimmick for the internet age. Buy a look-alike domain. Make loud threats. Declare “scorched earth.” Deliver nothing. From Jerry Sandusky to NXIVM to Frank Parlato, the routine never changes. There is always a promised investigation, a “major platform,” and a mysterious backend where the truth supposedly lives. There is never…
Erie County Pervert Prosecutor

December 17, 2025

He built his career on a rule: believe the accuser, act fast, don’t wait. Now that rule is pointed straight at him. Former Erie County District Attorney John Flynn — who once sent a political enemy to prison on an uncorroborated child-sex allegation — is now accused by his own cousin of sexually abusing him…

Frankly Furious Councilman Morano – VIDEO

December 13, 2025

The cameras were rolling, the coffee was strong, and the gloves were off. When Staten Island Councilman Frank Morano joined journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe on The Unknown Podcast, the conversation detonated. Guardianship abuse hidden behind courthouse doors.

SCUMBAG SAMARITANO STRIKES AGAIN

December 13, 2025

Jason “Jay” Samaritano is back where he belongs: under arrest. The self-styled “family court advocate” was busted again in New Jersey, adding another charge to a criminal history that already includes fraud, theft by deception, stalking, and probation violations. A judge warned just months ago that Samaritano was a “repetitive offender” who was “highly likely…
