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.

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.

Born and raised in New York City during the 1970s and 80s, Cloyd came up surrounded by hustlers, pimps, and street legends. He witnessed firsthand how the crack era transformed the city—turning neighborhoods into war zones and survival into a full-time job. After years in the streets and multiple near-death experiences, Cloyd left the street life behind, moved to Florida, and started over. But after being the victim of a random MS-13 drive-by shooting that nearly ended him and left him unable to work for a year, an old acquaintance introduced him to a booming “timeshare business.” Within his first week, Cloyd made over $40,000, not realizing the operation was at the center of a massive $11 million fraud scheme. When federal agents eventually came knocking, Cloyd refused to cooperate—earning him a 15-year federal prison sentence. He shares what life was like inside the medium-security facility, from the gang politics to the chaos that ruled the yard, and how a powerful spiritual awakening ultimately changed his life forever. Episode Highlights 🗽 Growing up in 1970s–80s New York City at the height of the crack era. 🔫 Surviving a random MS-13 drive-by shooting that nearly ended his life. 💰 The inside story of an $11 million timeshare scam that made national headlines. ⚖️ Facing a 15-year federal sentence after refusing to cooperate with prosecutors. 🔥 Life inside the federal prison system—violence, politics, and survival. 🙏 The moment that sparked his transformation and led to the creation of Man Up Ministry Inc.

On the operating table, his heart stopped — and he was brought back to life. 🔄 Reinvention & Resilience – Frank’s story doesn’t end with survival; it’s about rebuilding, embracing sobriety, and transforming chaos into purpose. Frank’s journey is about more than true crime — it’s about survival, redemption, and transformation.
