BAILSTREET

Danny and Ira chat with the legendary Charles Oakley about everything from gambling to the Knicks to cooking to prison reform. Charles' high profile trial lawyer Alex Spiro - a partner at Quinn Emanuel - joins in for the chat as well and weighs in on his passion: bail reform

The one and only Tony Yayo dropped by the BAILSTREET podcast and talked everything from bail reform to legalizing pot to the state of G-Unit. Oh – he had thoughts on President Trump, too.

You may know him from New York Undercover or Empire or Designated Survivor. He's Malik Yoba - and he has a lot to say. He sits down with the guys to talk bail reform, prison reform, and in everything in between. Malik argues that Rikers Island prison should be closed. Plus, he talks about his encounter with Harvey Weinstein and a possible New York Undercover relaunch. All of that and more on this season 2 premiere of BAILSTREET.

Stacey Richman, one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the world, joins us in studio this week on BailStreet. She shares her passion for defending everyone's right to a competent defense, some of the big celebrity names that she has had the privilege to represent, and a few tropes about the courtroom that are just not true.

Stacey hangs out as we talk about the world of whistleblowing in corporate America, how the awards for this have exploded and why some folks take issue with it.

Ira Judelson is handling the bail package for Conor McGregor following the misdemeanor assault incident that took place at Barclay's Center. Ira gives us the inside scoop on what led to the incident and why Conor is a stand up guy.

Danny's friend Mitch Baruchowitz, Managing Partner of Merida Capital Partners (in which Danny is an investor) drops by to discuss different innovations, legal hurdles, financial questions, and moral conundrums that come with the legalization of cannabis, and some of the industries that are putting up hurdles on the federal level while states take a shot.

And speaking of states, Danny thinks the Supreme Court could make it possible for sports gambling to come to a location near you. He and Mitch discuss the 10th Amendment and Ira shares some of the reluctance from the alleged family businesses that aren't a fan of the potential change.

"Who wouldn't want to be a gangster?" Gerard Marrone, our guest this week, says this on his YouTube docuseries The Street Attorney. "I went the other way. I became a lawyer. I represent the made guys and the bosses. They get locked up, I get them out," he tells us. Join us for this absorbing interview. He'll be talking about everything from his favorite kinds of cases, the reasons some mob cases are federal and some aren't, and growing up in Queens.

At just 21 years old and working on being a professional boxer, Gerard was shot in the back at a party protecting his sister. Initially told he'd never walk again, he beat the odds and now walks right into the court room. He'll talk about how his personal experience of getting shot has turned into empathy for his clients, which can be a real asset for his attorney business.

Here's what else we'll cover in this episode.

New Bail Reform Start-Up Promise

With three million of venture capital investment from Jay-Z's Roc Nation and First Round Capital, Promise aims to reform the bail industry and tackle some of the injustices around arrests and sentencing. Ira talks about the good, bad, and ugly of these kinds of reforms while Danny dives deep into the racial implications of everything from sentencing to bail costs, noting that studies show that black Americans face three times the punishment and penalties.

Bank of America's High Frequency Trading "Dark Pool" Settlement

Slapped with a $42 Million-dollar settlement, Bank of America admitted to "systematically misleading clients" between 2008 and 2013. Danny breaks down the significance of this legal decision, and the big role Bernie Madoff played in this scandal. Ira points out the similarities between mobsters and Wall Street brokers. Are they both really just bookies?

Here's How To Listen

You'll love this fascinating full interview with Gerard Marrone. Ira and Danny have their usual fun tackling dark pool trading, bail reform, pop culture events, and more. You won't want to miss this episode.
