00:00:00.000 By the way, this jail, if some people are wondering who stayed here, Whitey Bulger stayed at this jail, okay?
00:00:09.620 Anthony Tonacosta, mob-related inmates after Bulger.
00:00:13.820 Okay, you got some very MS-13 and Latin King cartel killers stay at this place.
00:00:19.180 These are the names you got.
00:00:20.720 Fotios Freddy Gis, Frank Cadillac Frank, Salami, James Alec Fields Jr.
00:00:26.680 You got some interesting people that stayed here.
00:00:28.480 So they're sending you to a place as if you're a full-on killer is what you are.
00:00:33.340 That's who they put you with.
00:00:35.360 And you said you got three, four, so this is January 16th, January 15th.
00:00:40.040 Is that around the day of 2025 when they put you in jail?
00:00:43.800 No, it was 21.
00:00:46.920 Oh, this is first time, when Trump lost.
00:00:50.180 This is after—
00:00:51.420 No, when President Trump wins, this is the last time, five days before they gave the order to move me.
00:00:58.960 To move you to Hazleton.
00:01:00.080 Yeah.
00:01:00.340 That's what I'm saying.
00:01:00.920 So January 15th, because Trump—oh, Trump won, but he got elected.
00:01:05.780 He was inaugurated January 20th.
00:01:07.760 So is this in October or is this in January?
00:01:10.220 In January.
00:01:10.860 In January.
00:01:11.360 Got it.
00:01:12.060 And when you were there, is this where you met Sam Bankman-Fried?
00:01:14.860 Where did you meet Sam Bankman-Fried from—
00:01:17.080 It was in Brooklyn.
00:01:18.920 In Brooklyn, I was in a special unit.
00:01:22.540 And, of course, I met Sam there.
00:01:25.200 This other guy who is a singer.
00:01:30.060 You call him mogul, music mogul.
00:01:32.460 Diddy?
00:01:33.300 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:34.260 You were in prison with Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried?
00:01:36.440 Yeah.
00:01:37.000 Did you speak with them?
00:01:38.540 Yes.
00:01:38.980 Well, at the beginning, you know, I didn't know them as the figures as they were.
00:01:45.820 I mean, but also, I was just by myself, you know, reviewing my case and my things.
00:01:53.620 There was another guy, a rapper.
00:01:56.140 He's very famous.
00:01:57.600 They call it 69, I think.
00:01:59.860 And, but I didn't know until the other inmates told me—
00:02:06.000 Tekashi 69?
00:02:07.280 Yeah.
00:02:08.120 They call me—
00:02:08.600 Those guys are really big in music and things like that.
00:02:12.100 But with Sam, we developed a close relationship.
00:02:15.600 He was—we were talking about my case, things like that.
00:02:20.800 I met my—his father and mother, and because he—at one point, I was really preoccupied about my family when they—when I know that they had that green light from the MS-13 over my daughters.
00:02:40.400 And I said, you know, I cannot sleep.
00:02:43.480 I don't know what can I do.
00:02:45.820 And he said, listen, you have to move your family from Honduras.
00:02:51.340 But I said, I don't have any means to do it.
00:02:54.040 And we were, you know, talking about how can we do it.
00:02:56.680 And at the end, I told my lawyer, you have to call my wife, and you have to tell her and do whatever you want you have to do in order to protect them.
00:03:06.820 But at the end, I have to be in my home for almost three months without going out at all.
00:03:14.640 And, you know, it's—at one point, I said to God, I made my peace with God, and I said, my Lord, you can do whatever you want with me.
00:03:27.240 It is—you're right, but please protect my family.
00:03:32.160 That's just what I'm asking.
00:03:33.180 Did Sam Bankman-Fried help you financially with the family, or no?
00:03:36.320 No, no, no.
00:03:37.100 Okay.
00:03:37.400 What was he like to you?
00:03:39.440 Was it a—did you enjoy the conversation?
00:03:42.180 He was a very quiet guy, but he was—he had new ideas about the world.
00:03:51.920 And when he was reviewing my case, he said, listen, this is clearly a setup.
00:04:02.900 And I said, but how can I explain it?
00:04:04.840 You already passed for a trial, and you know what it is.
00:04:08.520 And it is hard, you know, when the prosecutors and the judge agreed that you cannot, for example,
00:04:15.500 they didn't allow me to bring the experts from Honduras to explain the jurors how I passed those laws.
00:04:23.480 To pass the extradition law, the ceasing of assets law, the anti-money laundry law, the reform of the police.
00:04:33.940 It's easy to say it, but to do it is a huge risk.
00:04:40.020 And they were going to come to explain to that.
00:04:43.360 And, you know, the judge agreed with the prosecutors, and they didn't allow them to come to do it.
00:04:51.240 Do you know what Sam Bankman-Fried said about you?
00:04:53.260 Have you read what he said about you, or no?
00:04:55.240 My daughter was explaining it to me.
00:04:57.440 Sam Bankman-Fried told Mario Nafal, Rob, I think you have it somewhere, and he explains to him that, he says,
00:05:09.780 I spent a year and a half in the same unit as Juan Orlando.
00:05:13.400 I got to know him fairly well.
00:05:15.200 I'd like to think we became friends.
00:05:17.320 And I can't think of a single inmate more deserving of a pardon.
00:05:20.960 He was framed, and SPF spent extensive time helping yourself with trial prep and reviewed evidence.
00:05:28.920 And his account, you were convicted in 2024 for decades-long cocaine conspiracy involving hundreds of murders.
00:05:34.980 But the actual evidence, a ceremonial machine gun, a selfie with a cartel-connected soccer fan,
00:05:40.900 and testimony from the exact cartel leaders, you were arrested and extradited.
00:05:46.020 Those cartel leaders were offered early release if they could implicate a bigger fish.
00:05:51.140 They chose to testify against a man who put them in prison.
00:05:54.180 The result?
00:05:55.420 Your presidency, murder dropped 50%.
00:05:57.500 Drug trafficking dropped 90%.
00:05:59.380 Every major cartel leadership extradited to the U.S.
00:06:02.760 SPF, he wasn't just a narco-trafficer.
00:06:05.080 He wasn't just not a narco-trafficer.
00:06:08.000 He was probably the most effective anti-cartel leader in the world.
00:06:11.800 Juan Orlando is the most innocent prisoner I've met, including myself.
00:06:15.940 The pardon came days before Honduras' November 30th election,
00:06:19.540 where Trump endorsed Nasri Asfura of your national party.
00:06:25.080 The race is now a technical tie.
00:06:26.840 The Trump warning, there will be hell to pay if the electoral body changes the result.
00:06:31.740 That's what Sam Ackman-Fried said about you.
00:06:34.460 Interesting.
00:06:35.460 Did you ever speak to Diddy?
00:06:37.220 Was Diddy would...
00:06:39.400 A couple of words.
00:06:41.360 You know, we were getting into the elevator coming from the legal...
00:06:47.500 He doesn't like elevators.
00:06:48.980 It's bad news to be around elevators with him.
00:06:51.020 But I didn't know him at all.
00:06:53.260 And he said, so you are going to Fort North?
00:06:55.420 Was the same floor?
00:06:56.680 I said, yes.
00:06:57.280 So you are the new guy.
00:07:00.840 And he said, yes.
00:07:02.760 And he said, why do you advise me?
00:07:05.160 And I said, look, you have to keep your mind busy.
00:07:08.920 You told him.
00:07:09.820 Yeah.
00:07:10.080 If you are going...
00:07:10.940 You have to do exercise every day.
00:07:13.560 If you like music, you have to...
00:07:17.000 He likes other people's music.
00:07:18.380 But also, if you are going to fight your case, get into that with your lawyers.
00:07:25.000 Be busy because this thing could make you crazy.
00:07:29.440 But if you focus on that, and then he continued to do that.
00:07:32.660 There were some discussion between another guy,
00:07:35.940 between if they were going to see some channel from the news or the other.
00:07:40.660 And I said, listen, take your time.
00:07:44.380 Don't fight about that.
00:07:46.020 Oh, he was fighting with another guy for what he wanted?
00:07:47.660 No, they were discussing.
00:07:49.120 But I was trying to stop a fight.
00:07:51.200 He was trying to watch a documentary by the guy in the 50s.
00:07:54.600 Yeah.
00:07:54.940 He wanted to watch it on...
00:07:56.580 But that's interesting.
00:07:58.060 So...
00:07:58.420 But was he cordial with you?
00:07:59.540 Was he respectful with you?
00:08:00.900 Yeah.
00:08:01.780 Very respectful.
00:08:03.020 At one point, I was watching a dish, and there was another dish there.
00:08:08.820 It was dirty.
00:08:09.660 I said, I don't know which dish, who it belonged to.
00:08:14.380 And I watched it.
00:08:15.520 And so he came.
00:08:17.240 And I said, thank you for watching my dish.
00:08:19.740 Well, I didn't know that was yours.
00:08:22.080 And I said, a president watching?
00:08:25.220 And I said, listen, I mean, I can clean the floor here.
00:08:30.140 It was raised like that.
00:08:31.460 I don't care about those things.
00:08:34.080 They think that because you are a president, you are like a...
00:08:38.140 No, I mean, it's the way that you are raised.
00:08:44.500 And I think that that's helped me with a lot of respect from so many people in jail, too.
00:08:50.360 How long were you with all of them?
00:08:51.540 With SPF, with Diddy, with Takashi?
00:08:54.680 With this guy, Takashi, I think it was about a couple of months.
00:09:01.460 Oh, really?
00:09:02.600 With Diddy, it could be a little bit longer than that.
00:09:05.900 And with Sam, I think it could be a year and a half.
00:09:10.300 Oh, so you guys spend real time together with Sam.
00:09:13.620 Yeah.
00:09:14.160 Well, with Sam, we prepare a lot of questions for my trial.
00:09:20.300 And unfortunately, my lawyer, we lost confidence and trust with him, but we lost communication.
00:09:26.920 And at the end, when I finally came and said, listen, I know that you don't have any questions for the witnesses.
00:09:36.160 I already worked on that.
00:09:37.740 And then when he was looking at that, he said, this is amazing.
00:09:42.360 Well, I did your work.
00:09:43.660 Now, please do it.
00:09:45.760 But he couldn't do it.
00:09:46.920 Is this a guy that was sick?
00:09:48.060 The guy?
00:09:48.640 Yeah.
00:09:48.940 Yeah.
00:09:49.240 He was really sick.
00:09:50.920 But also, he was taking care of his mother.
00:09:55.140 She was also sick.
00:09:57.600 And I bet that he also was afraid of some things.
00:10:01.620 Of course.
00:10:02.200 I mean, if you're his lawyer, his life's probably also on the line.
00:10:06.140 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
00:10:13.920 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:16.080 We chose neither.
00:10:17.720 Instead, we chose Toscaniro.
00:10:19.840 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:10:22.400 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:10:25.560 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail.
00:10:29.360 And we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:10:33.040 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:10:36.600 Not rushed.
00:10:38.000 Not disposable.
00:10:39.460 Not ordinary.
00:10:40.840 Rather intentional.
00:10:43.540 Luxurious.
00:10:44.820 Timeless.
