  Have an unbelievable story? Apply to be the next guest on Honor Among Thieves Podcast 👇👇👇 https://www.honoramongthievespodcast.com/guest Nelson on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/montanatheprophet/ Larry on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blind.greed/ This week on Honor Among Thieves, we sit down with Larry Hartman — an accomplished Columbia Law School graduate turned Wall Street lawyer, and author of the gripping novel Blind Greed — a story based on his own life. Now a Raw Media production currently in development to become a major motion picture directed and starring Michael Copon, Blind Greed dives deep into the world of high finance, organized crime, and moral collapse. Born and raised on Mulberry Street in New York City, Larry’s journey is the perfect intersection of Wall Street success, Cosa Nostra connections, and international fugitive survival. 🔥 Episode Highlights -From Wall Street to the Underworld: Larry partners with a Cosa Nostra associate to launch some of the first online casino empires, blending legitimate law with organized crime. -The $100 Million Stock Scheme: Through a London venture firm, he helps take multiple startups public — amassing over $100 million in stock from companies he later admitted were “questionable at best.” -The Federal Crackdown: When the feds close in, Larry flees to Costa Rica, assuming a false identity as Jason Todd to evade extradition. -Life on the Run: From skiing in the Swiss Alps to playing high-stakes poker in Monte Carlo, Larry lives as an international fugitive — until his fake Nicaraguan passport expires. -The Bribe Gone Wrong: Caught trying to renew his forged passport, Larry attempts to bribe a cop with a few thousand dollars, only to be caught in the act. -Locked Up in El Chipote: Thrown into Nicaragua’s most feared prison, Larry’s descent from millionaire investor to inmate is a harrowing look into one man’s reckoning with greed, power, and survival. Larry Hartman’s life reads like a Hollywood thriller — a brilliant Wall Street lawyer turned outlaw financier, living between luxury and chaos. His story of ambition, deception, and redemption proves that in the world of Blind Greed, even the smartest can lose it all.

Apply to be the next guest on Honor Among Thieves Podcast 👇👇👇 https://www.honoramongthievespodcast.com/guest Nelson on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/montanatheprophet/ Redd Bull on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/therealbostonreddbull/ This week on Honor Among Thieves, host Nelson Rodriguez Jr. sits down with Andrew “Red Bull” Levinson, the man behind one of the wildest business empires and federal cases you’ve probably never heard of. In the early 2000s, Levinson became the exclusive Red Bull vending machine distributor, turning an idea into a multimillion-dollar empire that caught the attention of the biggest names in business — including the CEO of Red Bull himself. From his early days growing up in Boston, to launching a successful international calling card company in the 90s, and later creating chocolate vending machines that made him a fortune, Red Bull was always chasing the next big business play. His patented energy drink vending system could dispense any can — regardless of size or shape — and it revolutionized the vending industry. But just when everything seemed unstoppable, Red Bull the company pulled the plug on the deal, creating chaos among distributors and leading to a $140 million federal indictment that shook the business world. What followed was one of the most dramatic white-collar trials of the decade — a saga of innovation, betrayal, and consequences. Episode Highlights 🏙 Growing up in Boston and entering the “Biz Op” world of the 1990s. 💳 Building a global calling card company from scratch. 🍫 The rise of his vending machine chocolate business. ⚡ How he invented a patented energy drink vending machine that changed the industry. 🥤 The exclusive Red Bull vending deal that made him millions. 💥 When corporate betrayal led to an FBI investigation and $140M indictment. ⚖️ The trial of the decade and his 17-year federal prison sentence. From business genius to federal defendant, Andrew “Red Bull” Levinson’s story is a modern-day rise-and-fall that exposes the dark intersection between entrepreneurship, corporate power, and the justice system.
