00:00:08.840
Welcome back. You are re-entering the Stone Zone. Well, indicted New York Attorney General Letitia
00:00:17.780
James, who stands indicted for mortgage fraud and bank fraud, both charges that she has prosecuted
00:00:26.400
New Yorkers under, is now launching a portal to dox federal immigration officers using your tax
00:00:34.760
dollars. Attorney General Letitia James announced that she was launching this portal to collect
00:00:40.640
photos and videos of ICE activity in New York. New York Attorney General Letitia James is encouraging
00:00:47.480
New Yorkers to submit videos and other documentation of federal immigration enforcement actions
00:00:54.560
in New York following yesterday's immigration and customs enforcement raid on Canal Street
00:01:02.360
in New York City. The Attorney General said, every New Yorker has the right to live without
00:01:09.600
fear or intimidation. If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share
00:01:16.580
that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any
00:01:22.640
violations of law. No one should be subjected to unlawful questioning, detention, or imitation.
00:01:29.140
Let me explain the problems with Letitia James' statement. Notice she says, every New Yorker has the
00:01:35.180
right to live without fear or intimidation. ICE officers are not trying to deport New Yorkers. They're trying
00:01:42.300
to deport illegal immigrants on a priority basis, those who have criminal records and who pose a danger
00:01:52.240
to the average New Yorker. Attorney General James is, in essence, asking New Yorkers to share photos or
00:01:59.140
videos of federal government officers doing their duty. I'm not a lawyer, but I can tell you now that
00:02:08.580
J.B. Pritzker, the corpulent governor of Illinois, and Brandon Johnson, the nearly brain-dead mayor of Chicago,
00:02:18.860
are both in legal jeopardy because they have ordered Chicago police officers not to assist
00:02:27.040
when ICE agents who are fulfilling their federal duties are arresting illegals in the city of Chicago.
00:02:36.760
They can both be held legally liable to any injury or death of an ICE agent. I kind of wonder whether
00:02:45.940
Letitia James is headed down the same road. I've never, in the 50 years I've been in American
00:02:52.400
politics, seen a greater hypocrite. Joining me now to talk about Letitia James is the man who actually
00:03:00.680
was among the first in the country to discover her 43-year crime spree of serial mortgage fraud.
00:03:11.100
Mortgage fraud that she would try to convince you is no big deal, or maybe she didn't even really
00:03:17.300
commit. Sam Antar, who's kind of an interesting cat himself, he's got a very interesting career
00:03:23.140
trajectory. He was once one of the perpetrators of the largest financial crimes in American business
00:03:31.260
history. He was the chief financial officer of Crazy Eddie. Remember Crazy Eddie, the major consumer
00:03:37.720
electronics chain in the northeastern United States back in the 80s. Sam Antar was charged as one of the,
00:03:45.340
in one of the decade's greatest security fraud schemes, went to trial, paid his debts as a society,
00:03:53.500
came out, rehabilitated, and since that time he has dedicated himself and his incredible expertise
00:04:00.700
in both forensic accounting and business to find financial fraud and to help combat white-collar
00:04:09.340
crime. His website, whitecollarfraud.com, is a must-read if you want to see all of the documented proof
00:04:18.660
that no one is above the law, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. Sam Antar,
00:04:26.000
welcome to the Stone Zone. Thank you. Well, you know, she has a portal for ICE. I was going to
00:04:32.500
start a portal for a mortgage fraud, but it already exists in the county clerk's office,
00:04:37.580
on the HACRIS New York City database, and in New York State campaign finance filings. So, you know,
00:04:45.120
her fraud is there. It's plain. Her signatures are on it. You have 12 mortgages over a period of 43 years.
00:04:52.660
Actually, it's 13 mortgages over a period of 43 years. It's not a coincidence. It's not a clerical error.
00:05:00.320
Everybody is hearing from the mainstream media, oh, it's just one property, and she made a mistake
00:05:08.240
filling out the form. On that one property, she filled out four false forms. That's the Peroni Avenue
00:05:15.240
property in Virginia. She said one thing to the insurance company. She said another thing to New
00:05:21.960
York State. She said another thing to the bank, and she said another thing to the IRS. Each one of
00:05:28.520
those four documents conflicts with the other three, but it's a clerical error. But the reason why the
00:05:34.460
press doesn't mention it is because it doesn't go with the narrative. You know, she has the press on
00:05:40.720
her side, but, you know, something the press isn't going to be on the jury pool. Yeah, it's a thing
00:05:46.600
that impresses me about Sam Antar's investigative reporting is he doesn't just make allegations. He
00:05:52.400
posts the actual publicly available documents on his website so you can see for yourself that when she
00:06:00.340
signed the power of attorney to obtain the mortgage on this Virginia property, she undoubtedly said that it
00:06:10.300
would be owner-occupied. This was not a clerical error. This, by the way, wasn't a fill-in-the-form
00:06:16.520
form or fill-in-a-blank form. This wasn't a check-the-box. This was a specifically drafted
00:06:23.440
document which she misled the lenders in order to secure a better mortgage rate, a better insurance
00:06:31.820
rate on this Virginia property by misrepresenting that she herself would live there. And of course,
00:06:38.300
if she did live there, she'd be constitutionally ineligible to be New York attorney general. But
00:06:45.480
Sam, I'm not sure how you could possibly be right because the New York Times, the once-vaunted New
00:06:51.920
York Times and Lawfare, which is a website owned by Dan Abrams where lying is the standard of the day,
00:06:59.980
this is one of those distortionist sites that the other people had told us the Russian collusion
00:07:05.020
hoax was real. Don't pay attention to Hunter Biden's laptop. That's all Russian disinformation.
00:07:13.020
These are the same people who lied about those things. Now they're trying to cover for Letitia
00:07:19.740
James. Anna Bauer, a reporter there, Harvard, our educated Cambridge Law, Redstone fellow and Lawfare
00:07:29.320
senior editor. They just ignore facts when they don't fit their narrative, don't they, Sam?
00:07:36.160
That is correct. You know, back in the day, after Crazy Eddies, around 2005 to 2010,
00:07:42.940
I was very active in uncovering financial crimes by public companies. And I knew two reporters at the
00:07:50.120
New York Times that I loved and respected, Floyd Norris and Gretchen Morgensen. They would question
00:07:56.720
me before I would give them anything. In other words, they would cross-examine me, not because
00:08:01.140
they didn't trust me, but they wanted to make sure I got it right before they published.
00:08:07.420
Today's New York Times is nowhere near that. It's just a propaganda outfit. These people,
00:08:13.480
they don't look, they deliberately don't look, or they just distort the narrative. All they do is
00:08:18.480
act as PR pieces for very, very far-left politicians. And you know something? They're acting as a
00:08:26.760
mouthpiece for Mondani, too. And if Mondani gets elected, they are going to get the mayor they deserve.
00:08:32.300
Yeah. Sam Antar at White Collar Fraud has done some of the seminal and most important
00:08:37.860
reporting that demonstrates that, well, Zoran Mamdami's campaign is not some grassroots uprising
00:08:44.500
of average citizens, but in fact has been funded by an interconnected, interlocking group of
00:08:51.320
nonprofits, not-for-profits, NGOs, political action committees, and political parties in direct
00:08:57.940
violation of the law. You wouldn't believe that if you listen to Mamdami's campaign rhetoric. But I
00:09:05.440
don't want to get distracted from the question of Letitia James. Letitia James was indicted in the
00:09:12.920
Eastern District of Virginia because that's where the property in Norfolk, Virginia that she lied to
00:09:20.720
obtain a mortgage exists. This is one of the more liberal jurisdictions in the country. It's the same
00:09:26.800
jurisdiction which former FBI Director James Comey stands indicted. But the president, when he found
00:09:35.180
out that the chief prosecutor there, the U.S. Attorney Eric Siebert, concealed the fact that he had a
00:09:43.080
material conflict in the Comey case. Siebert, who was quietly preparing a 51-page memo arguing as to
00:09:51.100
why James Comey should be held to a different standard than anyone else and should not be charged
00:09:56.980
with lying to Congress regarding material matters pertaining to the attempted smear of President
00:10:04.380
Donald Trump regarding Russian collusion. But Eric Siebert, the U.S. Attorney, never disclosed the fact
00:10:12.660
that his father-in-law, that is his wife's father, is the godfather and the lawyer for James Comey,
00:10:20.660
but he's also the godfather to Comey's children, a material conflict of interest because that
00:10:27.140
prosecutor, Eric Siebert, should have passed on this case, should have recused himself, but didn't.
00:10:36.640
The president then appointed, as is his legal right, an interim U.S. attorney named Lindsay Halligan.
00:10:44.800
Now, Lindsay Halligan is a very attractive attorney. I hate the way the media keeps mocking her as an
00:10:53.540
insurance lawyer when, in fact, she was a partner in a major law firm heading their civil litigation
00:10:59.980
division and has extensive experience, therefore, with juries. But because she's a conservative,
00:11:07.360
and frankly, because she's extremely attractive, they, the media sneers at her because she has no
00:11:15.000
prosecutorial experience. But Sam, I guess I would ask you this question. If the charges against
00:11:21.320
Leticia James are legitimate, why did a jury of her peers, a grand jury in the Eastern District of
00:11:28.380
Virginia, vote to indict her? If Lindsay Halligan's incompetent, which is what they would try to tell
00:11:36.220
us, I think that's false, and the facts are not there, why did a grand jury indict her?
00:11:41.760
There are two facts, okay? First of all, I've been writing about it in my blog, all right?
00:11:47.080
Joe Gilbert has been writing about it, too. All of my information, I can't speak for Gilbert,
00:11:52.200
but all of my information was sent to the DOJ, okay? The information on my blog and other information
00:11:58.040
that I wanted to keep away from the public, not because I had something to hide, but because
00:12:04.600
it would not, it would be, it would be more helpful to the investigators if they didn't have it, okay?
00:12:09.680
That information was given to the DOJ. Now, Siebert's problem with the conflict of interest
00:12:14.800
is interesting, but the bigger problem was that Siebert obstructed justice. He had a case,
00:12:21.160
but he claimed he didn't have a case, and that is the worst part of it. When you have a prosecutor
00:12:27.020
that's not willing to take, to go after somebody that broke the door, now you talk about the grand
00:12:32.060
jury, it's very simple. Either she signed a name to false documents, or she didn't. She did.
00:12:41.800
They showed four false documents. This is what I'm implying, because I don't know specifically about
00:12:46.640
what went on in the grand jury, but I can tell from the indictment, there were four different
00:12:51.080
documents relating to one property so far in Peroni Avenue in Virginia, where she signed four
00:13:00.900
different attestations that conflict with the other three. It's a simple case. Mortgage fraud,
00:13:08.060
okay? It's not an accident. It's not a one-off, and when you add to that other things like mortgage
00:13:13.860
fraud in Brooklyn, mortgage fraud going back 42 years, mortgage fraud on another property,
00:13:20.160
that's where that, so that's where it's at. Yeah, I saw that Nellie Miranda did her own forensic
00:13:29.140
analysis of all the documents and did a complete takedown of this whole clerical error fairytale,
00:13:36.700
the one that conveniently skips paragraph nine of the indictment where James' insurance misrepresentations
00:13:43.340
are in plain sight. I also know, just from following white-collar fraud for a long time,
00:13:50.920
that these kinds of crimes, in this case mortgage fraud and bank fraud, usually have downstream from
00:13:57.980
them additional crimes such as tax fraud and insurance fraud. And frankly, I fully expect that
00:14:04.940
there will be superseding indictments against Letitia James. I know that she is wearing this
00:14:11.740
like a badge of honor. It may even induce her to challenge the current governor of New York,
00:14:19.480
who's epically unpopular, in the Democrat primary. And right now, among radical left-wing Democrats,
00:14:26.400
Letitia James is probably extraordinarily popular. She might even be able to beat the sitting governor.
00:14:33.080
We shall see. You're listening to The Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks. I'm talking
00:14:40.000
to Sam Antar, criminal fraud investigator par excellence, and we'll be right back.
00:14:47.880
This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine. What's your secret? Goya coconut milk. How does it taste so
00:14:53.500
good? It's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich, creamy texture. What about thickeners and
00:14:59.140
added sugars? None. Just smooth, coconutty goodness. What can I make with it? From curries to sweet
00:15:05.580
treats like coconut flan? The possibilities are endless. Goya coconut milk. Take your cooking to
00:15:11.720
the next level. No question about it. Find it in the Goya section of your local grocery store. If it's
00:15:16.320

The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative. On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:15:56.360
And we're back in the Stone Zone. We're joined by Sam Antar, the editor and publisher of
00:16:04.200
whitecollarfraud.com. It was on his initial findings that the Federal Housing and Finance
00:16:12.940
Administration examined the all publicly available documents to determine that Letitia James
00:16:19.040
had actually engaged in a 43-year crime spray of serial mortgage fraud. In fact, I think, Sam,
00:16:26.680
it's fair to say there's been some element of fraud in every single mortgage that Letitia James
00:16:33.460
has ever received. Is that accurate? That is correct. 13 mortgages, 13 frauds. Six New York
00:16:41.440
state ethics filings, at least five frauds. Yeah, it's really quite exceptional. Of course,
00:16:48.100
in court, you know, the pattern, even though she's not charged in her initial mortgage where she claimed
00:16:55.180
that her father was her husband in order to use his balance sheet to qualify for the mortgage,
00:17:02.200
on the mortgage application. She claimed it was her husband, but on the deed, she accurately
00:17:06.960
recorded that it was her father. That's a fraud. Then, of course, she made risk representations to
00:17:13.840
get a HAMP loan on an investment property that by law was required to be four units and under.
00:17:20.720
Hers, she says in the application, was four units. But you went there physically with Joel
00:17:26.180
Gilbert of the writing for the Gateway Pundit. You saw that it was five. She isn't charged in either
00:17:32.600
one of those, but that pattern will be telling in court. That pattern of fraud can still be used in
00:17:40.100
the courtroom. I'll talk very quickly about this woman, Nellie Miranda. Very, very impressive. I was
00:17:46.540
unaware of her. She's on YouTube. You can see her at Nellie Miranda TV. Nellie is N-E-L-L-I-E Miranda TV.
00:17:56.320
A very impressive African-American investigative journalist, citizen journalist. Seems to me like
00:18:03.900
she did what the New York Times and Lawfare.com refused to do. She read the actual indictments.
00:18:11.340
Tell us about this, Sam. Well, she read the actual indictment. She came to the same conclusions that
00:18:17.280
you and I did independently. In other words, nobody said or anything. And more than that,
00:18:23.080
it was interesting that that she would that Lindsay Halligan was being demeaned. Oh, she's just an
00:18:32.320
insurance lawyer. Right. But guess what? The insurance lawyer caught the insurance fraud,
00:18:38.440
which the Harvard educated lawyer and the other one that's not a Harvard that is at law fair,
00:18:45.400
they didn't have anything to say about the insurance fraud. Or the New York Times didn't
00:18:50.540
have anything to say about the insurance fraud. You know, it's kind of like the whole narrative
00:18:58.760
is to destroy this case. Hold on. I'm in Manhattan. Anyway, the other thing that bothers me is this
00:19:07.500
specific threat of violence that came from Leticia James. She said, and I quote, I will not bow,
00:19:15.040
I will not break, and I will not bend, and I will not capitulate. I will not give in. I will not give
00:19:21.660
up. You come for me. You got to come through all of us. And she raises a fist. So here's the thing.
00:19:30.600
You mean you got to come through all of us? Is that a threat to potential witnesses? Is that a threat
00:19:36.280
to whistleblowers like me? Listen, I'm not afraid of a threat because I already came through all of
00:19:42.040
them. But the point being is that this is not the behavior of an ethical state attorney general.
00:19:51.700
You know, this is not, she's not running a mob. She's not running Trent de Agua. She's not running
00:19:57.160
a criminal gang. What do you mean you got to get through all of us? Well, maybe, maybe,
00:20:00.820
maybe, in fact, she is. My sources, and I have several of them, tell me that she's actually been
00:20:06.200
threatening both whistleblowers and witnesses in this case. Folks won't remember this, but Paul
00:20:11.880
Manafort was incarcerated for 12 months before he was convicted of any crime because they caught him
00:20:18.000
talking, talking to one of the witnesses in his case. And of course, when I was charged,
00:20:24.060
the judge specifically prohibited me from arguing that my prosecution was selective or that I was
00:20:32.600
being prosecuted for political reasons, for political motives. I wonder if the federal judge
00:20:39.280
in the Letitia James case or the James Comey case, same judge, I believe, is going to rule the same way.
00:20:47.300
Unfortunately, we're out of time. I want to thank our guest, Sam Antar. I urge you to go to his
00:20:51.220
website, whitecollarfraud.com. See for yourself why Letitia James is one of the biggest criminals
00:20:57.880
in the country and why she's in serious legal trouble. I'm Roger Stone. Thanks for joining us
