Residents don’t know the strangers checking into Airbnbs at The Club, where hosts often leave doors unlocked or ajar for arriving guests. They don’t know who is partying on the balcony above. They have seen guests wearing ankle monitors.

Miami is rated among the most “lenient” on Airbnb restrictions on Airbnb investor websites. Club homeowners are not just annoyed by tourist bonanzas like the World Cup, the Ultra music festival, Spring Break and Formula 1 weekend. They live in dread.

Any intimations of exclusivity have gone out the window, just like the liquor bottles, condoms — and one TV — flung from balconies. The Club has turned into ‘Animal House’.

100

They also violate the city of Miami’s ban on short–term rentals in multi-family residential condos. Yet the city fails to enforce its own laws, the Miami Herald found.

The 643-unit building — 545 of which are Airbnbs — is one of Miami’s largest condos and is controlled by five Homeowners Association board officers who are hosts in the Airbnb business and who don’t live in the building. They run the place like a hotel.

Residents recall what life used to be like at The Club at Brickell Bay, a condominium in Miami’s financial district where, after a sunrise swim, smartly dressed cosmopolitans greeted each other in the lobby on their way to jobs at nearby office towers. 🧵

Most of them probably don’t even know that Reiter risked his career to go after Jeffrey Epstein. To truly understand how Epstein’s crimes began, one must start at the beginning, in the Town of Palm Beach, Florida.

141

He was called a “nut case” in the New York media. Epstein’s investigators and bodyguards followed him and dug into every corner of his life. A whole mayoral race was conducted on a platform to fire Reiter. He retired instead.

121

But with the recent release of the Epstein files, Reiter has come to believe that it is time to tell the full story about Palm Beach police’s handling of the case more than two decades ago.

Michael Reiter is one of the most important figures in the Jeffrey Epstein case who you’ve probably never heard of. The former Palm Beach police chief rarely talks about the Epstein case, even though it is the defining case of his 40-year career. 🧵

The Alexander brothers’ lawyers referred reporters’ questions to Juda Engelmayer, a public relations consultant who has previously represented Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs as they faced widespread accusations of sexual abuse.

121

The brothers, who are imprisoned at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting sentencing, were convicted in March of multiple federal sex crimes related to drugging and raping young women over nearly two decades.

121

Despite the report, which notes Krop’s principal was informed, no disciplinary action appears to have been taken by law enforcement or school authorities. Police did not interview the brothers, and the State Attorney’s Office declined to press charges.

Twin brothers Oren and Alon Alexander, and their older brother Tal, were convicted in March of multiple federal sex crimes, including sex trafficking. But a Miami Herald investigation found their pattern of drugging, raping, and videotaping their abuse began in high school. 🧵

He could have become another forgotten old man at another forgotten old folks’ home. But he knows he was fortunate. Fierce in mind and spirit, he protested the upending of his life. He had a niece who was able to help extract him.

Michele Perez, Villa Rosa III’s owner, said Hochheiser “does have the right to feel the way he feels.” But she disputes his description of conditions at the home.

Hochheiser ended up at Villa Rosa III in Hialeah. The 48-bed assisted living home had a history of spotty care.

In a recorded interview with an investigator, Hernandez said she was the victim of a smear campaign.
