On Episode 58, I Interview Aiden Gabor, a former associate of the New Jersey Based DeCavalcante Crime Family, police officer, and informant for the Department of Justice, who would bring down numerous corrupt public officials, including a head of detectives, a police commissioner, and even a mayor, but more then that, his story is one of redemption thats incredibly unique. and while we'll talk about a lot of his life's events, we don't talk about them absurdly in depth, so i cant recommend highly enough that you all go pick up his book Conflicting Loyalties,  available from multiple sources, I hope everyone thoroughly enjoys today's show, and tunes back in next week for Part 5 of Episode 57.

On Part 4 of Episode 57, we continue or look into deputy gangs in the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, last week we talked about the rise of the Century Station Regulators, and how they led a new generation of deputy gangs that preceded the fist generation gangs, like the Lynwood Vikings. But on today's show, we're gonna be talking  about an entirely different breed of deputy gang altogether, those that ran the county jails, like the 3000 and 2000 boys, 2 closely linked groups that carried out one of the most horrifically violent campaigns of terror ever linked to deputy gangs, resulting in almost 50 reported violent incidents in just a 2 year period, I hope everyone thoroughly enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week.

On Part 3 of Episode 57, we continue our look into the history of deputy gangs in the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, last week we talked about Franky Carrillo's fight for justice against the Lynwood Vikings, as well as their deep deeded corruption, that allowed them to abuse and harass department members all the way up and down the chain of command, But this week, we'll be talking about one of the new age gangs that they set the stage for, in the Century Station Regulators, yet another group that imposed terrible violence on the local community, while being covered up by the department's leadership, and spread to other stations. I hope everybody enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week for Part 4.

On Part 2 of Episode 57, we continue our look into the history of Deputy gangs in the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, last week we talked about the rise of the first deputy gangs in the department, the culture that this created in the department, and how the Lynwood Vikings rose to prominence and carried it on, leading to a multi million dollar lawsuit being filed by the victims, but on today's show, we'll be talking about one man that fell through the cracks, and instead of receiving  a beating or being jacked up for a petty charge, he was condemned to 20 years in prison for a murder he didnt commit, and was more than likely framed for, as well as how cases like this showcased the incredibly high levels of corruption that the Vikings were able top cultivate. However, just to give you guys a heads up, there wont be a new episode next week, as I'll be taking a short break for the holidays, but we'll be back soon enough, with a fresh episode on January 10th 2024, but with that said, i hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed today's show, stays safe, enjoys the holidays, and joins me back and even better for the New Year, thank you all for your continuing support, you make the show possible!

On Episode 56, we delve into the story of gangland involvement in the lives and murders of both Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., we'll talk about their backgrounds, and how they both were put in a position to headline the most notorious rap feud of all time, their rise to the top, that would see Tupac turn into somewhat of a wannabe gangster, catching charges left and right, while hanging with well known New York gangsters, as Biggie joined up with Sean Combs and Bad Boy records, making a name for himself, as well as their eventual downfall, that would see both men gunned down in similar drive by shootings, that became 2 of the most notorious pop culture murders of the 20th century, and though they remain unsolved, countless theories have come up surrounding the killings, many of which have links to organized crime. I hope everyone enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week for Episode 57.
