TODD, 01:54. So Joey Ippolito is a former mobster from the DeCavalcante crime family Joseph Ippolito Sr. son. They call him Joey Jr. or Joey Epp and his dad was very close to Sam the Plumber of the DeCavalaconte family which is why most people know them as the New Jersey mob The Sopranos were Loosely based on them and they call them the Jersey mob so Joey was born into the mafia along with his brothers and they lived in New Jersey and then relocated to Miami and they were close to Meyer Lansky Big Time odd guys in Miami for many years enjoy was a speedboat racer in the seventies and '80s there were guys like Don Aronow and Ben Kramer and Sal Magluta you heard about these guys in the Cocaine Cowboys, 2006, and the speed boat racing thing was a giant coke smuggling operation.
HUNLEY, 02:55. Sounds like Miami Vice they were always on cigarette boats
TODD, 02:57. Well the cigarette boat was created by Don Aronow, and Don Aronow, 1927-1987, was murdered by the mob in 1987. It's a fascinating story. And how it ties to OJ, you'll see how it all comes together. It's a once-in-a-lifetime story.
03:14. Okay so now how did OJ Simpson know Joey Ippolito?
TODD, 03:19. Obviously Joey Ippolito knew OJ Simpson in 1994, the year of the murders. We know that from sources that I've dealt with, or talked to, ex-mob guys, and family members, Joey knew OJ years before that. As to the exact year, I don't know, it's very hard to find out a lot about Joey. There's hardly any footage of Joey. There's one documentary called, Thunderman: the Don Aronow Story that has Joey right before he died. There is no footage of this guy. Brian Ross, the ABC news reporter, did a story about Joey, and his reporter Donald Ray years ago in 1994 and he touched upon these things and that interview is barely ever been seen by anybody. It's actually archived ABC footage, and that was a very telling arrest of Joey Ippolito. There was the same called Operation Lastima, the LA Sicilian Mafia, and this tight end James Cahn, Ronald Lorenzo, the Banano family, Joey Ippolito, OJ, AC [Al Cowlings], . . .
October 16, 2022. Here is Part 2. Part 1. Chris Todd has a few books published.
There are 2,000 unsolved murder cases in Los Angeles.
Casey’s Nickelodeon Murders.
O.J. Simpson’s blood was mixed with the victim’s blood together in his Bronco. Did he get off? Yes. If you have a string of coincidences like O.J. was there, his shoeprints are there, those are his shoes, size 12. His blood is there, and his DNA, is dripping from his left finger next to his shoes. Use the coincidences. Sometimes you can’t have facts. These defense attorneys are brilliant; they can put doubt in anything. I’ve seen it.
O.J.’s legal Dream Team. You had the best attorneys in the country all on the same defense team: F. Lee Bailey, Robert Shapiro, Johnny Cochran, Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld, Sean Holly, Gerard Ullman, Dershowitz, Karl Douglas. They’ll never be that again. That’s why they call them “The Dream Team.” Robert Shapiro began it, and there was another lawyer first, Howard Weitzman, A famous studio executive helped get Robert Shapiro who knew Joey and Charley Ippolito. investigatorla19@gmail.com. Shapiro starts to assemble on the 13th/14th Pat Mckenna, and Tom McNally, the investigators. He’s already getting on Dr. Henry Lee from Connecticut, the forensic pathologist expert in the world. He gets Michael Badden. Cochrane comes on a little later. When they figure they have to get an African American attorney, which brings in Carl Douglas. He had Gerard Yeoman early on. They bring Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, and they do DNA stuff with the Innocence Project. So Robert Shapiro assembles this team. There’s a mountain of evidence. There’s a trial that went over 10 months long. For you to watch the whole trial, it would take you 10 months watching 8 hours a day every day. I still haven’t seen every minute of the trial. You can’t! Howard Weitzeman who was on the case early started to move away from the case because he started to see the evidence. Other sources are saying that he “got kicked off,” because they needed . . . . The studio exec who hired Shapiro cold-called Shapiro and O.J. telling him he wants to help. The studio exec was a mobbed-up guy with heavy mob connections and personally knew Charlie and Joey Ippolito and the studio exec had to step in. The guy was super slick, a wealthy guy, and discovered very famous people. He died, dropped dead in December 2007. And they talk about him. If you look up OJ on the Fx Series and you type in “New Revelations” or “American Crime Story O.J. Simpson,” “New Revelations,” things they couldn’t reveal, they talk about this guy.
07:35 Today, Charlie [Ippolito] runs a strip club in Miami. He races horses too. A lot of these guys can never get away from it. They were born into the mafia; that’s what the screenplay and the confession tell you. Their fathers and their uncles and their stepdads. At 20 years old, you don’t have high-level cocaine connections in Colombia being a nobody. That’s how old Charlie was when he went to Colombia and made a huge connection for 6 months. You have to be initiated into the family, into the system. Joey was the same way. Joey’s dad was a famous mobster. Joey’s dad, Joey Ippolito, Sr. worked for Sam the Plumber, DeCavalcante. They’re great stories. There’s a lot of mysticism. You had on a couple of mob guys. People love it. I’m not here to slash and burn the mob guys. I think they should all come together and let’s go make some money, make a movie, tell a story. Let the people know they have a right to know and a need to know. And the people who need to be blessed are the media, the Hollywood media. That’s who’s to blame. The screenplay is 5 years old. They can’t make it into a movie. There’s a lot of press and media right now about Charlie. There’s a lawsuit. We have this thing going on in Miami. Other sources came forward, people close to Cato Kalin, people close to Faye Resnick, close to Nicole, they’re coming forward. We’ve kind of lit the brush fire, but I don’t know if they’ll ever make a movie. Hollywood and the media block stories, they discriminate against people, they censor people, and a lot of people have to tell stories . . .
