Venezuelan Money Laundering & Minneapolis Riots | 1/28/26

Liberty Round Table | January 28, 2026

Join hosts Sam Bushman and Lance Migliaccio as they dive deep into the most pressing issues facing America today.

Episode Highlights:

Venezuelan Money Laundering Exposed
Lance breaks down the massive $1 billion cryptocurrency money laundering operation involving Venezuelan national Jorge Lewis Fiera. Discover how this 59-year-old former banking executive allegedly laundered $700 million per month through Tether (USDT) on the Tron network using shell companies and US bank accounts. The hosts question how such massive transactions went undetected while average Americans face scrutiny over $600 Venmo payments.

Maduro's Bitcoin Empire
Explore the shocking revelations about Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro's alleged Bitcoin holdings—potentially 600,000 to 660,000 BTC (3% of the world's Bitcoin supply)—and the US government's seizure of these assets. Sam and Lance debate the government's authority to confiscate cryptocurrency and the implications for financial freedom.

Chinese Hardware Backdoors
A technical deep-dive into the Chinese hardware infiltration of US infrastructure. The hosts examine firmware vulnerabilities, silicon-level backdoors, and why simply "replacing hardware" may not solve the problem. Learn why America's manufacturing exodus has created an unfixable national security crisis.

AI Security Concerns
Lance warns about the dangers of Claude Code and AI agents gaining access to personal banking, social media, and trading accounts. Hear why giving AI bots full access to your life could be catastrophic and what security measures are being ignored.

Minneapolis Riots & Mass Amnesty Prediction
Detailed analysis of the Minneapolis protests following immigration enforcement actions. Lance makes a bold prediction: mass amnesty for illegal immigrants is the next political move to secure a "ghost voter pool" for the midterm elections. The hosts dissect the shooting incident, question official narratives, and expose the billionaire-funded protest networks.
