 Welcome to the Original Game Show's podcast. I'm Scott Bernstein. We're going to go up to Western New York. We give an update on what's going on in this Buffalo mob biker racketeering case where we have unindicted co-conspirators and future witnesses ending up dead under suspicious circumstances. As of right now, for the first time, the prosecutors in Western New York right now out of Buffalo are declaring that the August 1st death of future witness Crystal Quinn is now being categorized as a homicide. It's the first time it's officially been declared a murder and the murder of a witness. There was a superseding indictment that dropped last week with an overarching obstruction of justice related to the murder of a witness that came down in federal court last week, named six people, including Peter Jarrais, the nephew of Buffalo mafia Don Joe Pizza Tadaro, who is going on trial for racketeering in the near future, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, bribery, and money laundering. Also named in this obstruction indictment is the international president of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, John Tommy O. Irmin. Could be the most powerful biker boss in the world right now. We'll get to that in a second. But this is looking like, to me, I'm going to put my lawyer hat on. I have a law degree. Don't practice. I would say that this is a clear tell by the government that in addition to this racketeering case that's going to go to trial this winter, it's not been split into two cases. Peter Jarrais will be the defendant in one, and then his co-defendant, retired DEA agent, Joe Bon Giovanni, who was accused of pocking a quarter million dollars with bribes to protect mafia-connected drug businesses, as well as the alleged drug business that was being run out of Jarrais Junior's strip club, Faro's, in Chiktoaga, New York, right outside of Buffalo, suburb of Buffalo. And it's pretty clear that there are going to be homicide charges that are going to come, I would say sooner than later, in addition to the obstruction within the racketeering. So this puts things at a whole, it's a whole new ballgame now. We're no longer talking about if what I'm predicting happens occurs, I would guess, before summertime. You go from a racketeering case with suspicious deaths, New York Supreme Court Judge John Mikulski allegedly committed suicide. He was an undead and co-conspirator just days after his house was raided by the feds. And then Crystal Quinn popped up dead about six months after being outed as a confidential, not a confidential form, but a future witness and had gone from the grand jury. So again, this is a whole new ballgame. We were talking about racketeering and I know that the Mack sentences are pretty heavy, but realistically, if Jarrais Junior gets convicted of the racketeering, you're looking at probably 10, 20 years, which isn't impossible to complete. When you're talking about homicides and the murder of a federal witness, again, it's a whole new ballgame, the severity of the charges, the severity in terms of how the judge and the jury would be looking at you. I would be very worried right now if I was Peter Jarrais Junior, Tommy Oh, and frankly, Joe Pizza. And let's be very clear Joe Tadaro, Joe Tadaro Junior, aka Big Joe or Joe Pizza, legitimate millionaire, has never been convicted of a federal crime. He owns the restaurant Empire Lenova, but he is, you know, he is subtext. Or there's an undercurrent that screams his name that even though he has not been indicted or implicated in this case that is like in the shadow of this case, because the fact that Jarrais Junior is his nephew, the fact that according to Crystal Quinn's grand jury testimony, Jarrais Junior bragged of being a made member, a mob member of his uncle's crime family of having very deep connections into law enforcement. But right now, even though Joe Tadaro is not named or implicated in any of this, the government believes that Jarrais Junior and Tommy Oh ultimately report to Joe Tadaro Junior. There's also the belief that Tommy Oh actually is almost maybe on even plain with Big Joe and that even though Tommy Oh works at Faro's as the general manager and is officially employed by Jarrais Junior, he's actually Jarrais Junior's boss. But again, that's neither here nor there. The question is, if these murder charges come down the pike, who runs to the government for their first deal? And to color up a little bit more of this case, since we talked about it last, the one piece of thread I think that you could pull to disrupt everything and pull everything apart is Simon Gogolak. And he's under indictment right now and a drug in a weapons case as he's been indicted as a for obstruction of justice related to Quinn's homicide. He was with Quinn when she died. And he was a high school friend of Crystal Quinn who had not seen Crystal in 10 to 20 years. And then if you believe prosecutors and what's being said from the government side of these things, the mob, the outlaws found out that Gogolak had had a previous acquaintance with Quinn and sent him at her to have a random, quote unquote, random run in at a bar and hopefully have her confide in him, which she did, tell him that she was in fear for her life and she needed to go into hiding. And that opened up the door for what these people wanted, if you believe the government for Simon Gogolak to say, listen, I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but I think very fond of you from what we want. When I knew you in high school, I'm going to hide you. Come with me to Allegheny County about 90 miles out of Erie County, where Buffalo is. She stayed with him for, I believe, three or four days. And on the fourth day, she popped up dead in his house. The belief is that she was given a Xanax pill that was laced with 400 times a lethal dose of fentanyl. And we also know that Simon Gogolak was, we've recently learned that Simon Gogolak was texting and calling people, communicating over encrypted emails that he was now a hit man for hire. This was all in the months before Crystal Quinn ended up dead. He was talking about painting houses like the movie, The Irishman, telling people that I paint houses now, which was code for I'm a hit man now. He was also in contact with a known hit man that's tied allegedly to the mob and the bikers. And then Crystal Quinn, in the last moments of her life, it looked like, was texting out to friends and family that Simon had set her up, that Simon was going to let the outlaws kill her, and to call 911 immediately. We also know that Simon brought Crystal to some biker parties in the hours before she died. So there were bikers that are connected to the outlaws, a group called the Rare Breed, which is the biggest support club in New York for, for the outlaws. And they were surrounding, you know, they, they went to a party that was all Rare Breed. And then within hours, she was dead. I think the belief is that someone at that party gave Goglek the lace Xanax to give to Quinn back at his house. But right now, I think the big takeaway from this is that I believe there are murder charges on the verge of dropping probably after the racketeering case is completed in the spring. But it's a whole new chapter here. And I would say the entire Magadena Crime Family Empire, the entire outlaws Motorcycle Club Empire right now is a house of cards. And the last thing I'll say about Tommy Oh, no criminal convictions, but it looks like according to the government and the detention membo, Tommy Oh became boss about 10 years ago. A lot of support from the old guard, the Taco Bowman regime. He idolized Taco Bowman. I guess he had a room in his house that was a shrine to Taco Bowman. He's in contact with a lot of the Taco Bowman loyalists that are in prison now doing life. There's communication going back and forth between Tommy Oh and Buffalo and them in prison. And then we've also learned that Tommy Oh is quite a world traveler that in, you know, his passport looks like he's been globetrotting since he became boss, which to the federal government tells you that he's going around the world on outlaws business. You got to remember outlaws are international criminal conglomerate. So this guy swings a big stick, a lot of juice with Tommy Oh. I mean, I would say even more so than the Magadenos. And right now, I'm predicting a murder case is going to hit at Tommy Oh's doorstep pretty soon, as well as DeRace Jr.'s doorstep, as well as Gogolax doorstep. So we'll keep you updated. I'm Scott Bernstein. OG Pod out.
