  • From Selling Dime Bags At 16 To Running A State Wide Cartel
    2026/07/12
    Heat went from secretly selling weed while working at IHOP to making thousands of dollars a day and becoming one of the biggest marijuana traffickers in his part of North Florida. In this episode of the Honor Among Thieves Podcast, Heat reveals how a teenage hustle grew into a sophisticated drug trafficking operation involving multiple suppliers, stash houses packed with marijuana, interstate transportation routes, and enormous amounts of cash. While many dealers around him focused on crack cocaine, Heat recognized the opportunity in marijuana and built a reputation that stretched from Lake City to Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Atlanta, and beyond. Heat explains how his organization became increasingly disciplined as the money grew. They studied law enforcement tactics, tracked police activity, created strict rules for transporting drugs, and used rural North Florida to operate differently from dealers in Miami and other major cities. At the height of the operation, nearly every cabinet inside the stash house was filled with weed, the refrigerator held the strongest product, and cash was hidden inside the stove. But success in the drug game brought paranoia, betrayal, police surveillance, controlled buys, informants, robberies, and violence. Heat recalls being arrested while already fighting another criminal case, realizing someone close to the operation was cooperating, and believing he was finally headed to prison. He also describes being kidnapped, driven into rural Georgia, and listening as his captors argued over whether they should shoot him. This is the true story of how ambition, money, loyalty, and street politics transformed a North Florida teenager into a marijuana kingpin—and how quickly the life he built began to collapse.

  • The Brutal Reality of Prison Gang Politics | Former Federal Officer Breaks It Down
    2026/07/09
    Former correctional officer Gio Martini returns to Honor Among Thieves Podcast for Part 2 of his story, giving a raw inside look at life inside Victorville Federal Penitentiary. Gio spent 8 years working at USP Victorville, one of the most dangerous high-security federal prisons in the country. In this episode, he breaks down what it was like walking into a prison filled with gang members, killers, knives, drugs, shot callers, racial politics, and inmates serving serious time. Before corrections, Gio served in the Army during the Iraq War era. He talks about how the military shaped the way he handled chaos, danger, and survival — and why that mindset followed him into the federal prison system. Gio explains how correctional officers respond when violence breaks out, how inmates test officers, how prison politics really work, and why the farther west you go in the federal system, the more gang-controlled the yards can become. This conversation also gets into the realities most people never hear about: officer-inmate violence, inmates attacking staff, stabbings, inmates being stomped out, protective custody, sex offenders in prison, female officers getting involved with inmates, cartel members inside federal custody, and how high-profile prisoners like El Chapo or El Mayo would be handled in the system. Gio also opens up about life after the military, substance abuse, getting discharged, finding corrections, working immigration detention, and eventually landing in the Bureau of Prisons. This episode is not about glorifying prison violence. It is about showing the reality of what happens inside a maximum-security federal penitentiary from someone who lived it every day as a correctional officer. In this episode, we cover: Gio Martini’s 8 years at USP Victorville Working inside a maximum-security federal prison Prison gangs, shot callers, and racial politics How correctional officers respond to violence Stabbings, lockdowns, weapons, and inmate attacks Officer-inmate relationships and corruption Protective custody and prison politics Cartel members inside federal prison Why street power does not always transfer behind the wall Life after corrections Chapters 0:00 — Gio Martini Returns: Victorville Federal Prison, Gangs & CO Survival 7:05 — From War Stories to the Infantry: Why Gio Joined the Army 14:42 — Iraq Deployment, Brotherhood & Surviving Combat 22:36 — Rules of Engagement, RKG Grenades & Combat Injuries in Iraq 31:06 — From Substance Abuse to Corrections: Rehab, Discharge & Finding GEO 38:31 — Becoming a Correctional Officer: Fights, Control & Inmate Respect 45:00 — Victorville Violence: Stabbings, Hospital Runs & Prison Chaos 52:18 — Female COs, Inmate Manipulation & Sex Offenders in Federal Prison 1:00:05 — Protective Custody, Bad Paperwork & Prison Housing Politics 1:06:03 — Cartel Inmates, El Chapo, El Mayo & Life After Corrections 📌 Have an unbelievable story?

  • Baltimore's Deadliest Game: How the Gambinos Flooded the City with Ecstasy
    2026/06/14
    Brian Suder sits down with Honor Among Thieves Podcast to tell his story of growing up in Baltimore, getting pulled into the city’s underground scene, and eventually becoming connected to Gambino Family associates, the ecstasy game, and the Irish mob. In this episode, Brian breaks down how a meeting with Gambino-connected figures led to him being handed 2,000 ecstasy pills, how the pills moved faster than he expected, and how he quickly went from selling a few thousand pills to attracting serious attention in Baltimore’s criminal underworld. Brian also explains the violent reality of Baltimore in the 1990s, the city’s connection to organized crime, the influence of the Italian mob, Irish mob, and street crews, and how the ecstasy market created money, paranoia, and enemies almost overnight. This conversation goes deep into Baltimore crime, the Gambino Family, ecstasy trafficking, mob politics, street violence, near-death situations, and the mindset of someone who lived inside that world but somehow avoided the prison sentence that usually comes with it. This is not about glorifying crime. It is about hearing the reality of what happens when money, ego, violence, and organized crime collide. 🎙️ Subscribe to Honor Among Thieves Podcast for more real stories from the criminal underworld, federal prison, organized crime, redemption, and life after the streets.

  • Israel's Prison Gangs: Who Really Rules Behind Bars?
    2026/06/07
    Mike Mazursky returns to Honor Among Thieves Podcast to reveal what prison is really like inside Israel’s prison system after serving just over 4 years for a string of heists in Israel. In this episode, Mike breaks down the hidden power structure behind Israeli prisons — where Israelis, Arabs, and Russians each operate under different rules, politics, loyalties, and prison codes. As a Russian inmate in Israel, Mike found himself pulled into a world shaped by Russian prison culture, the thieves’ code, prison politics, gang hierarchy, respect, violence, and survival. Mike explains how the Russian prisoners organized themselves, how prison tattoos represented status, why “thief in law” culture still matters, how different groups handled conflict, and what it was like navigating Israeli prison yards where Russians, Arabs, and Israelis all had their own alliances and rules. This conversation also covers the difference between American prisons and Israeli prisons, how paperwork and charges were viewed, how inmates handled sex offenders and cooperators, the role of guards, prison food, drugs, fights, discipline, religion, and the daily reality of doing time in a foreign country. This is not a Hollywood version of prison. This is a firsthand account of what Mike lived through while incarcerated in Israel — the gangs, the rules, the politics, the fear, the survival, and the lessons he carried with him after getting out. In this episode, we cover: Mike Mazursky’s return to Honor Among Thieves Podcast Serving over 4 years in prison in Israel The three major groups inside Israeli prisons: Russians, Arabs, and Israelis How Russian inmates operated behind bars Russian prison culture, tattoos, and the thieves’ code What “thief in law” means inside prison culture How prison gangs controlled different parts of the system The difference between Israeli prisons and American prisons Prison politics, respect, violence, and survival How inmates handled paperwork, charges, and reputation Guards, discipline, prison food, drugs, and daily life The mental pressure of doing time in a foreign country Mike’s prison stories and what he learned after losing his freedom This episode gives a rare look inside Israel’s prison gangs, the Russian criminal underworld, and the inmate politics most people never get to hear about.
