1:07Okay, welcome to the Opperman Report. I'm your host, Private Investigator at Opperman. You can get a hold of me at Opperman Investigations and Digital Friends at Consulting if you reach out to me through my email, Opperman Investigations at gmail.com. Okay, I met this guy, Brennan Pollock. Okay, I met him on Threads, and he's got some stuff here. Some financial irregularities. We used to call it in the old days at Hoffenburg, when we were on the show all the time. It seems like Epstein was involved in another major Ponzi scheme. He sent me all these documents, and it's a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff, but there's things in it, like, $5 billion here and there, and it's all kind of SEC oversight, just by the wayside here. So our guest today is Brennan Pollock. Now, you could find him on Blue Sky at Brennan P01 at Blue Sky, and then he's on Threads at the THE, the underscore Brennan underscore of underscore Pollock's underscore again.
2:13But you know what? I'll have all that in the description of the podcast. You could find him in the easiest way there. You could probably find him in the easiest way there's fun, but you just yell out your window because you're going to be trying to keep his screen and it's pretty much your possible. Brennan Pollock, are you there, sir? Yes, sir. How are you, man? I'm doing all right. How are you? Well, another busy week. That's for sure. And what always goes on. That's crazy. Now, before we get into all this stuff with these Epstein financial stuff that you sent me, tell us about yourself. Who is Brennan Pollock? Yeah, so I am an independent research assistant. I kind of work under an investigative journalist and have been doing that for about the last six months. Before that, I was Air Force veteran six years. And then just kind of have been working odd jobs here and there and management at a couple of different places on the civilian side. Did some contracting work. And now I'm just kind of settled down over here in Alabama and really getting into the
3:17journalism side of things, especially with all the craziness we've had over the month of January. Yeah, right. It's been wild so far. And so far, what you sent me here, it's great work so far. So it's in a congratulations on your career here, man, it's tough and forward here. So now, how would you describe what you're sending me here? So basically, the EFTA document itself, the document contains an email chain from 2021, discussing Karen Pfizer and Michael Walks and their alleged involvement in financial improprieties, including but not limited to obstruction of justice, money laundering, transaction laundering, and a handful of other financial crimes. It also references SEC filings, stock purchase agreements, and other financial investments. Mainly, the document signifies and it's potential connection to the ongoing investigations and the financial crimes and it's a mention of its ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
4:23Gotcha. So let's start with this. These two names you just mentioned, Terrence, Pfizer, and Michael Walks, who are these folks? So these are two individuals that are typically, both of them have worked for a couple of different hedge funds. It's kind of hard to pin down exactly who they work for at this point. The main involvement that they have in this situation is they were both partial owners in one of the hedge funds that was mentioned in here, that basically is the parent of the trading symbols that appear to be fraudulent and they are kind of the way that Jeffrey Epstein gets tied into the situation because they were the ones that were primarily in contact with Epstein while all of this was going down at the SEC. So this is an operation they were running already before they get into contact with Epstein?
5:26As far as I know, this goes all the way back to before 2010. Gotcha. So then what is the nature of this transaction, these two, the Terrence, Terrence, Pfizer, and Michael Walks? So what is the nature of this hedge fund, what are they up to? So they invest in a lot of different types of companies, most of them focused on things like mobile apps, cloud-based services, anything that you can kind of slap a vague definition on, it's under their umbrella. And where's the money come where they're investing this, where's the money come from? So that's the craziest thing about it is that from what I've been able to gather from this email thread is that the money is basically, they're using a couple of different shells to dump worthless certificates and are then purchasing back those tickets at a, or purchasing back those shares at a higher price and then reselling them to another company at an
6:29even higher price. So it's basically like printing new money. It's one of the most mind-blowing financial situations I mean, I think I've ever seen. Yeah, but you know, you hear about the, that seems to be quite a common, you know, did you ever hear about the scam with Hoffenberg and Epstein, whether we're trying to buy a Pan Am and we're using some kind of phony checks or something, ever looking to that? I, that's one that I have heard of in passing. It's not one that I've had really a chance to dig into. I know that Epstein and Hoffenberg had their, you know, connections in tower financial and that whole collapse when it happened. Like you mentioned, you know, they all took off to the Virgin Islands and kind of left Hoffenberg to hold the bag. That's a nice way to put it, the collapse of tower financial. Yeah. A bit of a, a bit of a saying they came in with handcuffs and then carted it really away. Well, not everybody, just poor, poor old Stephen. Oh, yeah, nothing, nothing short of dying star-style way to go out of business.
7:33No, this, you, there's a description of a Terran Pfizer and a partner, Michael walks as the bagman and the felon. Is he an actual felon? Um, I, so I know for a fact that they both have what's the, what's the work I'm looking for? Interactions, previous interactions with law enforcement, especially when it comes to the financial side of things, but like with a lot of the stuff in these Epstein files, people were not investigated properly. And so no, I don't believe either of them have been charged with a crime as it relates to this. And where are they now today? Are they still in business? What are they doing? Michael walks is actually an actor. So he does, I know small stuff here and there. Uh, he, he's a musician as well. So he, he kind of bounces around from place to place. He doesn't really have a, a single, like, uh, defined employment that you could really
8:35put on him. Um, and then Terran Pyser, um, he is a, let me get it in my notes here. Um, yeah, so he was, uh, an American business person, um, he, oh, I apologize, let me correct myself. Um, he actually was convicted of insider trading and securities fraud, um, and he worked as a junk bondsman, a junk bond salesman at Drexel Burnham Lambert, which is, um, another hedge fund, which, uh, is mentioned in, um, in these emails Drexel in specific. So you're saying that even after these charges today, he's still allowed to sell junk bonds. That is correct. And from what I understand, he is not the only one. Wow. Okay. And, and Michael walks. He's just, he's totally out of the, are they, are they still both wealthy men? No, because I see some of our numbers, he sent me these documents, five billion dollars
9:35here and there, you know, well, you know, how it is with these kinds of things, um, you know, they can appear to not be wealthy on the outside. Um, Taren Pyser is, he's, uh, his net worth is not publicly disclosed. Um, and, and I, I believe most of their holdings to be outside of the United States. Um, so it's really hard to pin down an exact number on how much these guys are worth. Incredible. And then I see here, too, this is just the first paragraph, the stuff he sent me here. And already we have, uh, McGellovich, uh, who's a, a common name we've heard on here many, many times. What's the story with him? How's he involved? Uh, so if I'm, if I'm not mistaken, he is, um, connected to fun, um, which is an actively traded company still, uh, he is one of the part owners, um, in that and he, um, was one of the original, uh, investors that got on board, um, back when, uh, Trump was running
10:38for president in 2016. And, and got on as an investor of what? Uh, an investor specifically in a fundraiser that occurred up in Wisconsin. Oh. Um, yes, the fun app really didn't, or sorry, the fun, um, fun tech didn't really start up as a company until after the Trump campaign. And the reason for that is because 25% of the revenue was the Trump campaign. Um, they, they basically ran a Trump app, I believe, uh, for the 2016 possibly the 2020 campaign. I would have to check back on that. But they, they ran a Trump campaign app, um, which I've allowed people to donate, find out information about, uh, you know, campaign events where Trump is going to be rallying nets, what some of their emissions statements are. Um, and they, they were the ones who, who, uh, built that app and built that platform for Trump supporters. Kind of like act blue like that kind of thing.
11:41Sort of except for one specific individual. All right. Yeah. I want to guess. Okay, man. Okay. Um, and then, um, uh, so bait, and it says it was like a merchant payment processing too. Yeah. There are several, um, trading symbols that are involved in ITE night, um, is going to be one of the ones that has been accused of being a fraudulent payment processor. Um, another example of that would be, um, APCX as well as, um, let me see here in my notes, um, as well as in ETE, um, all of those are being accused of being shells that are just there to lawn for money and transactions. Okay. Let's see. Okay. All right. So allegedly fraudulent. So what, what would the fraud be? You know, if they're, if they're getting to campaign donations, I'm going to take on a big cut, whatever. What, where's the fraud coming? So the fraud comes in, um, specifically the first, uh, portion of it that I see mentioned, or that I saw mentioned in the email thread, was a case that was decided by the Gibraltar
12:47SEC, um, and basically they found that, um, the SEC did not, uh, properly vet this, this company that they were selling for, um, and the amounts that they were fined, I don't know exactly which company I have not had a chance yet to actually track down this, uh, work case, but, um, this, it, it stated that the fines paid by the SEC in this case did not match the amounts that were given to them by the financial regulatory authority, um, and it, and in doing so, the SEC pocketed somewhere around $43 million by claiming that the customers were unknown, uh, so they were unable to return the funds. Okay. Do you have telling me that the SEC finds these characters and, but they pay them more than the fine? Uh, not just that they, according to this whistleblower complaint, are actually, um, assisting
13:50and are complicit in the criminal activity. The SEC is? Yes, sir. So initially, the SEC, uh, the waves are kind of licensing and, uh, approvals and inspections and investigations to get them to the position where they're getting set up this business. And then later on, it's kind of a payoff in the back end. Pretty much. Yeah. Um, on top of that, I mean, there's, there's several, like we mentioned earlier, individuals that, uh, have been barred from training, um, by the SEC allegedly. And then we find that there are still transactions happening under their name, um, another example of that would be, uh, this gentleman named Keener, um, I, I don't have a first name for him, but he was barred as a bad actor, um, for apt text trading activity, which was one of those, um, subsidiaries of, uh, night capital, the original hedge fund that, that kind of started this whole, uh, the, the original complaint came from. He was barred as a bad actor back in 2013 and has traded as recently as 2019.
14:54Now all of this information is coming from a fellow named Christopher J. Delorio, who calls himself the whistleblower extraordinaire. That is definitely, uh, one word for it. Yeah. Have you spoken to him? Because his phone number's on him. You're gonna hold him? I have tried to. I have not received any messages back. I've, um, reached out to a company that I believe has Christopher J. Delorio under their employment to see if I could possibly, you know, it just get an email contact from him. Um, they, they told me that they would get back to me within the weekend. That was about five days ago, uh, so I have not heard anything back regarding that yet. Mr. Delorio, what's his motivation for being this big snitch and snitch and all his friends here? What's going on with him? So one of the things that you're able to do, um, when you apply and, and put in a whistleblower complaint is you can apply for, uh, what's called a cover to action and what that means
15:54is that the government will protect you, um, and will also financially reward you for bringing whistleblower information forward. Um, so the main thing that you see talked about in a email thread is the fact that he never received any kind of, um, award or, or any, uh, compensation for making these claims, um, and they were in fact, uh, denied five years later after he originally filed for his covered action. Um, so the, the main thing that it, that a whistleblower would have to, you know, motivate them to bring this information forward would be the fact that you get, um, a form of compensation from the government, uh, whether it be I've heard some people, um, have been able to, uh, get bonuses. I've heard people that have just been paid directly for the information. I've heard of people, you know, getting a company car out of it. It really just depends, um, on the agency itself and, and, uh, what it is you desire to get
17:02from the information. I would encourage the audience to go back and find the interview with Brad Birkenfeld, Lucifer's banker. He wrote the book who was involved with Swiss bank accounts and then, uh, took the, has this option you were describing here. And I think his compensation was $300 million if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a big deal. Definitely a big deal. Speaking of Swedish banks, they're all so all over this. Right. I saw it at Credit Suisse. Yeah. The UBSS is, um, one of the ones that are, are, uh, complicit and, and, uh, again, allegedly complicit and assisting in this criminal activity. Right. But we'll, we'll, we'll get to that in a second. But back to Christopher Delorio. Was he facing any kind of charges that come, uh, motivated him to make the steal? No. No. From what I understand, it was purely just the covered action, um, again, he put in his original application for the covered action back in 2015, uh, and didn't receive a denial until 2020.
18:03And so, and, and this email thread, does he complain about that and say, hey, you know, what's going on here? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, one of the big things he mentions is the fact that, you know, the, the, the SEC is doing one of two things. They're either a, um, using the whistleblower information to assist in criminal activity or be their denying whistleblowers, their, their due compensation. Yeah. That, it seems to me like, you know, it's, again, it's one of those deals. Like, you know, who do you know, you know, it's like a sweetheart, uh, oh, absolutely. I mean, everything when you get to those levels of government, you know, it's, it's, it becomes more of what can you do for me and not what can we do for the people? Yeah. It's, it mentions in here money laundering. How was money laundering involved? Uh, so that would be through from, uh, my understanding the apps that they use, specifically, um, like the one that I mentioned earlier that was involved with the Trump campaign. Um, most of that, it appears to me. Um, and again, this is, this is all alleged that, uh, they were actually scraping money off
19:06the top of that campaign fund that they would, uh, from the donations they would receive through the app. Yeah. And we're basically just pocketing those funds. Um, the other issue, uh, of the money laundering is they would, um, you know, since this company was one of the big sponsors of the Trump campaign, they would pay for campaign activities. Um, and there would be, you know, if you ask for an itemized list of, of some of these things that they paid for, um, you'll find that there's, there's many, many things that have no relation to a campaign. For example, one of the, uh, one of the things that, um, the investigative journalist that I'm working with, she, she was able to dig up was in order for, I believe it was 2,500 tires. That would fit on a Honda fit. And so, uh, you know, I'm not that I have anything against the Honda fit, but I don't see Trump, um, making very much use of that Honda fit is a car or motorcycle is a car, but it's a size
20:1014 wheel, um, which is a very, very small size 14 or 15, um, very, very small, not, not something you, uh, that anybody has ever seen involved in the Trump campaign. Um, that it's just completely, one of those things that's kind of out there, like the, you know, 50,000 paper clips, stuff like that. Yeah, I hope George Santos is not listening to the sense of you, because I, he might, uh, get hints of ideas there. I know my heart is that, but now you mentioned that there's scraping somebody off the top, but that's standard. I know guys that do that would campaign for a reason that that's not allowed, you say? Uh, so I mean, it depends as long as the money is being used for, you know, things related to the campaign, it's not an issue. So when it comes to like, yeah, if you're scraping money off the top to pay for your dinner because you're on the road, that's not an issue. No, but, um, but the company that's running the, like, if you have, like, an app that calls people up, dials their phones and then the money comes in, that company's allowed to take a chunk of money, you know?
21:11Yeah, absolutely, but this isn't, this, I mean, this wasn't, you know, the average one or two percent that you would see from a credit card transaction or payment processor, we're looking closer at like six to eight percent. Yeah. Okay. Now, um, uh, is there any suspicion of where the source of this money was coming in from donations, possibly like overseas, like Russian money coming in? Yes. Um, that's actually one of the, the biggest, biggest things about this, uh, complaint here. Um, they mentioned a lot of Russian names, of course. Um, I'm sure I know that you went through it and looked at it just to, to kind of break a few of them down for you. Um, some of the ones that I was able to come across, uh, was, uh, Grishpin, Antinov, Rockachev, uh, and also, I hate to say it, but who? Okay. Um, so this actually was the, uh, reason,
22:11one of the big reasons, um, that Trump and Epstein had a huge falling out, because it turns out, that it wasn't the Clinton campaign, that it accused, uh, Trump of receiving Russian funds, it was Jeffrey Epstein, that had accused him of doing so. Uh, and that's how the Clinton's ended up getting their hands on the information of blowing it up into the news. And that's in this email thread. The information regarding, um, the, uh, regarding Epstein, uh, having the falling out with Trump, yes sir. Really? And that's from this guy, um, I forget his name again, Cipolios, what did I do? Delirio. Delirio, right? Delirio. Okay. How would Delirio know all this? That is a great question. Part of the reason I've been trying to get in contact with him myself. Um, I mean, it seems like one of those things where, you know, he, he knew a ton of people at Finra, which is the financial regulatory authority. He knew a ton of people at the SEC, new people at the
23:14IRS. Um, I think just eventually, once you work up to certain levels, you're going to cross, you're, you're bound to cross paths with these people. But, but how did it become spurring, though, that did say he wants to run out on all his friends just for the, I guess, because he wasn't making money. So he figured this is the only way he's going to make money on his deal. I mean, I would love to believe that it was a genuinely altruistic reason. I really would. And he mentions many times through this email thread that the, the, the victims of these crimes are the American public. Um, and so I, there is a part of me that does believe that the, the reason that he came forward was patriotism. Um, but I'm sure that there was some kind of, uh, some kind of, uh, what's the, what's the word? An argument maybe or, um, a conversation that didn't go well or something that, that resulted in him pulling the trigger on this, but what really set off the whole thing was the fact that his coverage was denied for that, um, for that whistleblower
24:19complaint. Right. Right. Which I mean, if you can, you like the amount of money that you mentioned earlier, I, I'd be pretty upset as well. Oh, it came to me. Yeah, right. And I, and I'm breaking up the time. So I think doing a year, but it was worth it. You know, I got 300 million. Now, absolutely. Did Ross Neft, uh, the Ross Neft oil deal? Did that come into mentioned in any of this? Um, I have not really seen much that involves any, uh, gas industry related stuff or oil, um, um, you know, oil money. That's, that's not something I've come across. However, I'm, you know, I've, I've seen other information on related to this that, that definitely does involve, um, many of those agent or many of those companies, uh, just not in this one specifically. And how is Putin involved? Putin is involved the, uh, ownership or not, I'm sorry, not ownership, but the funding according to Jeffrey Epstein. He was, uh, one of the ones who put up capital for, uh, the individuals named in this complaint to actually start up some of these
25:26businesses from where I understand, like, all the money is Russian and origin. According to Jeffrey Epstein, which is what Cristolario states Jeffrey Epstein believed. So again, you know, because of how far removed this information is, it's kind of hard to get a clear picture. Um, but from my understanding, it appears to be mostly Russian funds that are routed through a Swiss bank. And also, uh, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse. Yep, both of those are, are implicated in here. UBSS, um, being the, the primary one that's mentioned the most, um, and, you know, people have been putting their money in Swiss banks and Caribbean banks for, for, I don't even know how long long before I was around, I'm sure. You know, I take going back, I forget who it was, uh, when Deutsche Bank announced that they were no longer gonna do business, but it was either Trump or Epstein. I forget which one. I think it might have been, uh, Epstein. I believe it was Epstein, yes. Um,
26:26Hoffenberg knew the night before. He, he knew in advance. He called me up in the middle of the night and told me, yeah, that's crazy. I don't know that he was, it even says, if you look up, Hoffenberg in the, in the files, it says that he's available 24 seven. He was like obsessed with always. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, what's, what's kind of scary about it is, is really how many of these individuals are just kind of on call for Epstein. Right. Right. Um, any day of the night, I mean, I'm seeing politicians respond to emails at three o'clock in the morning. Yeah. That's, that's common. Yeah. These guys have a lot of energy and they're up all night. Oh, yeah. No, I know the, uh, there's a handful of ways that you can keep yourself up. And I'm sure they make you support all the photos. Yeah. I know. But, but even still they just, they just have a lot of energy, you know, just in general. No, no. Yeah. How does Epstein fit into all this now? Epstein was friends with this, uh, Sapoli, okay? No. So I don't believe that they knew each other personally. Um, I just think that the Lerio knew, I got to write it down.
27:31I'm getting, I'm getting, I got to write it down. The Pilya. But I think that he just kind of knew of Epstein, um, you know, and again, like I said, this, this appears to be going back to the four 2010. Um, so this would have been five years following Epstein's conviction. Um, or sorry, not five years, two years following Epstein's conviction. So his name would have been in the news, um, right around that time, even if it was just local. Um, you, you kind of know when, when somebody on your level is convicted of being a pet file, you know, uh, 100%. Yeah. And when it kind of business deals at this level, you two and background checks are everybody involved. Uh, you would hope so. Yeah. Uh, 100%. I'm a private investigator. This is what we do. Uh, yeah. You get everything. You get their phone records. You get everything. Um, I think on these levels of money. Uh, but now, so what is Epstein's involvement? It's not clear. So Epstein, um, is mostly just connected, uh, impassing as being, uh, a person who also put up
28:32money for these, um, for these shells that N-E-T-E-N-I-T-E and thund specifically. Um, but he doesn't have that this is one of those files that doesn't have as much to do with Epstein as it does to do with the people around him. So he is absolutely involved in this. And I, I 100% believe that he was, he was laundering money and, and transactions as well, along with these other individuals, um, it's just he isn't specified as heavily in this email thread as some of these other individuals are. Gotcha. And, and, but Epstein was laundering money into the Trump campaign? No. Uh, no, not wandering money into the Trump campaign, wandering money into the companies that were, uh, funding the Trump campaign. Well then, what does that make you think? Well, did we hear all this stuff about the Epstein and Trump on the outs? Does that make sense then? Uh, you know, when you say a guy's your best bud for 15 years, it's kind of hard to believe that you're on the outs, um, especially now some of the
29:33information that comes that has come out. The numbers are staggering. Five billion, uh, Bitcoin. So what's going on with that? Well, so, uh, I'm not sure how much you've had a chance to review some of Epstein's connections to Bitcoin. Yes. It's bizarre. I mean, he was, um, you know, he bankrolled the principal home and funding source for Bitcoin, which is now the world's largest cryptocurrency. He also invested around $3 million into Coinbase, um, which was, uh, you know, one of their largest investments at the time. Um, they're now the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States. And then he also cut a check to a block stream within that same year. And that's just another Bitcoin focused tech for him. Which one of those guys is Brock Pierce involved in? I think Brock Pierce is, uh, the, I want to say block stream. Okay, because he has huge connection stepstein and that guy is Zampoly too that we're just starting to hear about.
30:34Yes, sir. Okay, but the the Epstein Bitcoin crypto stuff is huge. And if you notice, all the people who, the, the, the superstars to talk about Epstein, they're all chilling Bitcoin, man, they're freaking one of them. Oh, it was Steve Bannon. All of these guys are all. Yeah, they're all chilling. I'm sure, I'm sure we remember, we all remember how many celebrities were on the FTX commercials during those, that Super Bowl only for it to fall in on itself nine months later. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so then, so Epstein's deep in Bitcoin and how, but how is Bitcoin involved in this deal with these guys here with the polio? Uh, Bitcoin is only involved in in terms of as, as like a means of transfer, uh, because it's purely anonymous, um, you know, you can, you can move funds without paying certain taxes. You can also, you know, you don't have to, um, alert anybody to a $10,000 and over transfer like you would if you were to go through a, a, a
31:36typical means of, of transferring funds. Um, so my, my understanding is that was mainly just to be used as a cover to kind of, you know, make sure that nobody knew where the money was coming from. I got to do a whole show about Bitcoin, you know, because, oh, yeah. Yeah. It's super shady. So then one of the things we were talking about during our little, uh, in communicado situation, it was that the SEC finding out, and what are you going to discuss about that? So the SEC, I mean, was alerted to, to the stuff back in 2010. Um, they pretty much did nothing. Um, they, they sat on the whistleblower report that he had filed. So he filed what's called a TCR, which is a tips complaint and referral. And that's basically the, the first step to filing a whistle blower complaint. It's, uh, just saying, hey, something sketchies happening over here. Can y'all take a look at it? Right. Um, he put in TCRs back to back to back, whether it was for, um,
32:41the, uh, let me see here. CGFIA was a trading symbol that they used, night trading symbol, the NETE trading symbol. There's also the company's free seas and new lead, um, both of which, he filed TCRs for, um, and the SEC just didn't look into any of it. Um, they, they basically ignored it, and then just denied his, uh, denied his action so that he, um, number one, so they weren't admitting that any of it happened, because in order for them to cover his action, the SEC would have to acknowledge that this stuff happened. Um, and that's, that's their main thing that they're wanting to avoid. Uh, so they, they are just trying to do as much as they can to cover their uptracks. Um, but he was putting in TCRs all the way up until, uh, basically his last day, which is right around this, uh, time the email chain started. Um, I, I understand that he was no longer employed there after the year of 2020. And who is he sending these emails to SCNY?
33:46Yes. So he's, um, there's a couple of different people. Um, he refers to an individual by the name of gene several times throughout these emails. And I still am unable to track down exactly who that is. Um, but the TCRs were all filed with, uh, individual named Robin Trexler over at, uh, the financial, um, invest, uh, the financial, what is it? The regulatory authority. Um, she, she was aware of all of this all the way back to 2010. And he mentions in the email chain that he believes her to be complicit in this as well. Wow. But you could just imagine, too, Chipotle, he's probably thinking, oh, I'm going to get five billion here. I'm going to get a huge pay off from this thing. He probably thought he's going to, right. I think it was something about the amount of TCRs that he had to put in and realizing that none of it was being investigated, that kind of, uh, is a big part of the reason that this email chain ends up being as, um, not as friendly as one would expect from a government
34:49employee. But you're not seeing anybody else reporting on this. No, so far I've been, I mean, honestly, I haven't even seen anything about it on social media, which was the craziest thing to me. I started digging into it because, you know, I, not to say that I don't believe any of the testimony that comes from the survivors themselves. Obviously, there were some horrifying things that happened. Um, but the problem with that angle is that it's so out of the, it sounds so out of this world. I don't see people, the public being able to latch onto it the way they would be able to latch onto financial crimes. Um, because you can show receipts for that. You can, you can track down where the money went. Um, and that's what I think is, is going to end up getting some people put in jail. Yeah. And, and, and you're right. A lot of these FBI tips, these intake forms are from people that have mental illness. You know, we, we, we, we're specifically tracking down the, the commitment dates on one of them right now, um, right, my story in the New York Post. So there's
35:52a lot of stuff in those FBI intake forms that are just historical madness. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, the whole, the whole sequence of events when it comes to this, uh, this story is just bizarre. I mean, he, he, one of the big things that happened was, um, you know, it's shortly after putting in the, uh, a few of his TCRs, he was contacted by, um, SEC investigators in what they claim to assist. However, the only way that the SEC investigators could have had his information was if they had received it from the office of the whistleblower, which is a big no, no, huge no, no. Um, that information isn't not supposed to go anywhere, but the inspector general and Congress. Um, and speaking of that, you get onto the inspector general, um, poker at the time, uh, never reported this to Congress. They had the information, um, and they never took it to Congress.
36:57The corruption is just a mind blown. Yeah. It's, it's, it's horrifying how high up it goes, um, it really, really is, especially when it comes to, to this situation, because the SEC is one of those agencies that you don't really expect to have issues from, because it's so in the back of most people's minds, just to know that, that it's, I mean, compromised at the level it is according to these, uh, to, to these emails is, is mind blowing. I got to tell you though, no, it's not from New York, you know, and I know friends of mine who took their company's public and they was scrutinized so much, man, they, you know, and so it's just like one path of people just, you know, regular business people and one path of, uh, when your friends with them, you have dual, uh, uh, uh, come and cry together, you know? Right. Yeah. And, and, you know, it, you do see instances in this email chain where they, it almost seems like, uh, the SEC or Finra kind of tried to appeal
37:58to him. Um, an example of that was the CGFIA losing its registration. However, it took four years for them to lose their registration. Um, which is absurd. I mean, typically in a situation like this when you, when you make a complaint that's this level of, of, uh, compromization and corruption, you immediately halt trading on, on whatever that company or symbol is. You don't continue it while you investigate. Um, you, you, you halt the trading and then you investigate. If there's no wrongdoing, you open the backup to trading. I'm pretty sure that the SEC will, will, I think they, they paid companies back as sort of an amount for not being able to be traded on during that time. I don't know how much that is. Um, but, you know, if there was nothing to be found, then it wouldn't have been an issue. That's the thing that I don't understand is that they, they, they never once conducted an investigation. I mean, they didn't even halt trading on any of these symbols except for one.
39:03Yeah, they're, they're at a level above. Yeah, you mentioned something about penny stocks. How do penny stocks fit into this? Yes. So there are two that are owned under the symbol, uh, night that one that I mentioned earlier in ITE, uh, called gold fields and app tech, app tech. I'm sure you heard earlier because, uh, they were, that was the one that was, um, the Keener slash James J, uh, was reported on originally. That was what, um, Delirio put the whistle or the TCR and was against app tech. As of 2020, both of these companies are still active. But what about now, 2026? Um, so from what I was able to find for app tech, it's owned by fun now. So it is still operating to this day. Um, gold fields, I believe, uh, was purchased and then had the name changed. Uh, so I've had a little bit of trouble tracking that one down. Um, so I don't want to say anything incorrect about that, but I know for a fact that
40:07app tech is still up and running today. Did anything change after Epstein died? Was they, they didn't notice any kind of big changes in all this? Um, um, no, I mean, the email chain begins after, uh, what would have been Epstein's death, uh, he died 2019. This, the email chain begins in 2020. Um, so there wasn't, uh, I think that's part of the reason that he's not one of the big players that's mentioned in this was because he was dead at the time. Okay, Brendan Palk. We only got about 10 minutes left. What, what else do you want to fit in here and tell us about? I mean, the main things are, uh, you know, night capital. This is, this is that big, big hedge fund that's really responsible for a lot of this. Um, and I, I really want, um, people other than myself to, to pay attention to this because it's, it affects you a lot more than you think it does. Um, you know, when, when you're, when our money is being taken away, laundered or, um, used against
41:10American interests, it does a lot of things, uh, to break down the level of respect that we get as a nation, um, if we can't even manage to hold the top of the people to, to, to account. Um, the other thing is is it makes it so much harder for anybody else to get through the process of trading their company with the SEC, um, because it adds more and more layers of red tape that you have to get through unless you have a certain amount of money, like these individuals did. Um, now of course, because the activity started so far back, there, there weren't as many rules that they had to follow at the time. Um, but since then, I mean, they, how much regulation do you think's been added to the SEC since 2010? I don't know. Has anything been handy? Or are they taking way more regulation? Well, I think that in terms of paperwork, there's more. Um, I think in, and you, you could be right in terms of the actual regulation itself. They say that they cut it back. But you have to remember 2010 would have been the Obama era, um, and, and they were pretty,
42:16pretty heavy when it came to, to regulatory stuff. Um, which again, I don't totally disagree with, but the problem with it is it just made it so much harder for your average person. Um, the only other things that I, I really think that are important to mention, um, when it comes to, to this whole situation is that, um, the, the company who is basically responsible for trading in the SEC, Oppenheimer and Co. Um, they are violating the, the, the rules put by, put down by Fenra, which is financial regulatory authority. And they're also violating, you know, according all of this, the Bank Secrecy Act, um, which is a huge, huge deal. And I just don't think enough people know about it. No, how would the Bank Secrecy Act apply to this? Yes. Uh, Bank Secrecy comes in because of the fact that UBSS, um, is doing these undisclosed transactions for these individuals. Um, they, they aren't, uh, flagging them, um, or anything,
43:21um, they're also in, it's, uh, the, um, sorry, the CEO refusing to publish the financial records for, uh, night invert all the way back since 2017 would be another example of the violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. You know, you have to disclose all of your filings to the SEC, um, and to the IRS when it comes to this kind of thing. And they are not doing that. And they're not being expected to do that, which, you know, again, the average person would have to jump through all these hoos. Meanwhile, you know, these individuals are able to just get away with it without having to blink or, or even bat night. What about JP Morgan Chase? Did they come up in this? Um, I didn't see much regarding them. I did see, uh, a couple of, uh, things that said JPM, but from what I understand, they, they aren't criminally implicated or implicated in any wrong doing. It's more so that soons at X person had a bank account with JP Morgan that funds
44:27into that moving through. All right. That's interesting. Cause you know, I'd say they rolled over in the US Virgin Islands, uh, $300 million, uh, dollars, you know, uh, they paid more than the estate paid, you know, uh, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Make you wonder what they had to hide. Absolutely. Well, there's, there's one other thing that I did want to throw in here. And, and it's, it's another form of corruption, but it is also kind of funny. Um, and I'll explain how in a second. So, um, uh, I think it was in 2016, 2017, um, fun tech merged with another company called Muleland, which is a electric car company based out in California. Um, number one thing about them, none of their cars are American made according to this whistleblower report. Um, they are all actually Chinese auto vehicles, um, which is a major concern in of itself because there's a reason that we
45:29have regulations on those vehicles, um, just because of their ability to gain information by, by having them around in the United States. Also, uh, the owner of Muleland, this is a funny one. Mr. Will, I am. Yeah. So again, a name that I thought was just kind of kind of a shuffle because he was about the last person I think I would have guessed that'd be tied up in this whole situation. But yeah, Mr. Will, I am is also at least partially implicated in, um, in a, in illegitimate merger. That's not the, the rap guy, is it? Oh, that's exactly who it is. That's the black eyed bees. Okay. One second. Yeah, I know. I know. It's crazy. Wait, and how is he involved in this? He is the owner of Muleland cars, which is a California based electric vehicle company. Okay. And they merged with FunTech, which is the company that's,
46:37basically, it being accused of being a genius, quant level, uh, money laundering scheme. Okay. He merged his car company with them. Yeah. And I don't know the purpose of it. I think it was just to more legitimize FunTech's business front, um, to kind of show, well, hey, you know, we, we, obviously, are real business because we sell electric cars in California. Um, I, I think it was really just an effort to legitimize the business. I didn't see any information regarding the I am receiving any kind of kickback from it. Um, that's definitely something I'm, I'm still digging into along with the, uh, investigative journalists that I'm working with. But yeah, I mean, um, just, just not someone who you'd think would be mixed up in office. But he's from Haiti with the, uh, right, the bucket piece. I don't know that he is from Haiti. Uh, but, uh, you probably know better than I do, um, because yeah, yeah. Uh, so I, I don't know if that ties them to it. I just
47:37know that the, the Mule and Cars and Specific is, is now a part of FunTech. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm thinking of. And that, you know, the import export activities down there in the Caribbean. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. I would be surprised. Brennan Pollock. Okay. Now, you, you want to give out your, what's happened? Have people contacted you with tips and information? Yeah. And I know this is kind of odd. And I, I'm expecting to get a plenty of, um, plenty of odd calls. But my number that you can contact me through is three, three, four, nine, three, nine, three, one, three, nine. And you can send tips, information, um, through there. I try and do everything off of a, um, encrypted service. Um, so if needed, I'll, we may even move over to signal just in case we need that extra layer. Um, but that will be the easiest way to get in contact with me. Of course, you can always DM me through my social medias as well or leave a comment on there. Um, but please, if you have the time, um, look into it.
48:38Again, I was just a regular person who had no involvement in journalism six months ago. And now here I am breaking what could be one of the most important financial, um, situations in, in American history. So anybody can be a part of this. Um, and, and I, I want more people to be involved, um, when it comes to looking through these files, because it is so, so, so important that this information gets out. And once again, that's three, three, four, what? Three, three, four, nine, three, nine, three, one, three, nine, three, one, three, nine. Okay, we'll put that to in the description. Brennan Pollock, man, I tell you, doing some good work, hey, bro, a lot of good, uh, a lot of detailed, uh, work care, you know, it's not the fun. I really, I really appreciate it. And, um, I'll also send you a copy of my timeline. Um, if you, I haven't already, just so you can keep up with where I am on this case. I'll be updating that weekly and posting it to my social media as well. Um, so that's another great way to kind of
49:43follow this case. Hey, you should set up a sub stack, you know, and we'll, we'll, uh, we'll plug it in there before the showers. Yes, sir, that's, uh, that's on the list of things to do with the, you know, I get, I'm just so new to this that I'm, I'm still kind of finding my footing when it comes to the field. It isn't enough time in the day anymore. Just go so fast. Yes, sir. Brennan Pollock, you could find them at Blue Sky at, uh, Brennan P-O-01 at Blue Sky. And then the threads is the THE underscore Brennan underscore oh, underscore Pollock's underscore. Thank you so much for having me on. It was pleasure. Not great stuff. All right. Bye.
