A few weeks after the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, I saw that two NYU Business students, Sergio Ruiz and Franco Medina Angulo, had been gunned down in Puerto Rico while vacationing with other students.

At the time, I knew NYU was making criminal crypto investments, but I had no clue they had a huge dead student problem.

There was evidence of a cover-up off the bat: An inconclusive 10-second video reportedly showed the culprit, a gun-wielding woman outside of a club. Later, it was reported that she was not responsible, and that the Angulo and Ruiz were shot by an unknown third party, getting caught in the crossfire.

But the clue that led me to dig deeper was the icy response from NYU and its students around this tragedy online and in the media. It felt so different from the murder that shook my own college in 2008, which left a deep collective grief over the campus for weeks.

Ours was a special case, though. She was reported as a Jane Doe in the first campus-wide email: A Caucasian college-aged woman, shot five times at close range – her face was too disfigured to identify.

But a few hours later, the word got out: She was Eve Carson, student body president of UNC-Chapel Hill.

Eve Carson may be the most driven person I’ve ever crossed paths with: her 600-word biography at 22 years old speaks for itself.

Eve’s biggest success was her battle with the school’s Board of Trustees: The board was going to hold a closed-door meeting to vote on raising tuition rates, and Eve rallied students to demand they open the meeting to the public.

The energy in that board meeting was electric. Hundreds of students packed the room, and dozens spoke out against the increases. The board increased tuition anyway, but one couldn’t help feel like we weren’t done fighting: Eve had built the largest activist movement we had seen on campus.

As my investigation grew, so did the pile of bodies that this criminal syndicate appeared to stack up. At NYU alone, there was strong evidence of three different political revenge killings:

• NYU student Charlene Lat fell to her death weeks after her brother, Assistant District Attorney David Lat, started Underneath their Robes, a gossip blog dishing secrets on our nation’s most powerful judges.

• Tumi McCallum, daughter of two esteemed NYU professors, was gang-raped and bludgeoned to death. But these facts don’t align with the subsequent trial, where her boyfriend confessed to strangling her to death in a crime of passion.

• In 2005, NYU student and Samsung heiress Lee Yoon-Hyung was reportedly killed in a car accident. When reporters couldn’t find evidence of the accident, police backpedaled and said she had hung herself. Samsung had recently pled guilty to defrauding the U.S. government in the DRAM price fixing scandal.

Once I understood that NYU was an organized crime front, colluding with the likes of Stanford, Harvard, and M.I.T., I knew it wasn’t the only school with a deep state murder problem.

Had this rotten crime spread to my own campus? I wondered. So I dug up the facts on Eve Carson’s death.

As reported, here is what happened: Laurence Lovette and Demario Atwater – both young black men from Durham with rap sheets – drove around Chapel Hill looking to rob somebody. They found Eve getting into her car, forced their way in, and drove her car to withdraw cash from ATMs. They then drove her to a nearby neighborhood and shot her in the street because she had seen their faces.

We have evidence that the carjacking took place: An ATM photo reportedly showing Lovette in the driver’s seat of Eve’s car.

However, the only evidence of the murder comes from the testimony of Jayson McNeill, a friend of Lovette’s. McNeill was not present at the murder but said that Lovette told him all the details. In exchange, he received a reduced sentence on a federal drug charge.

This is hearsay, which is legally inadmissible in court. The reduced drug charge, meanwhile, gives McNeill all the incentive to lie. But again, McNeill’s testimony was the only evidence of Eve’s killing, leading to Lovette and Atwater’s conviction.

That means this was a sham trial, and we have damning evidence of a cover-up. And since we’re talking about the death of an elected politician, that means we have evidence of a political assassination never reported as such.

To find the culprit, we need to learn a bit about what Eve was doing. She was the recipient of the Morehead-Cain Scholarship: the oldest merit scholarship in the country and the most prestigious at the school. If a UNC student got accepted to an ivy league school, they were probably a Morehead.

The program has many notable alumni, including several who went on to institutions from my rabbit hole (like the Dean of NYU Stern School of Business), or from my crypto crime list (like the co-founder of The Motley Fool).

Eve had accepted a job at McKinsey, a criminal consulting firm that’s swarming with Harvard grads, including Chelsea Clinton, who later became the head of Clinton Global Initiative, the money laundering front Bill Clinton established with Jeffrey Epstein.

She was close to my crime syndicate, and there was a very powerful criminal nearby*.

UNC President Erskine Bowles was President Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff between CIA Director Leon Panetta and John Podesta, who co-founded Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) with Jeffrey Epstein. As I’ve written, Bill Clinton is a mob boss who is heavily involved in the crypto Ponzi: nearly every participant at last year’s CGI conference had ties to cryptocurrency.

*Actually two, once you realize that Bowles’ protégé, Dean of Students Holden Thorp, has made an entire career on fake-science Ponzi schemes.

In order to cover the key piece of evidence in Eve Carson’s assassination, we need to review the most important speech in world history, where Bill Clinton admitted to blackmailing a governor.

In 1988, Democrat Mike Dukakis ran against Republican (and former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush for president. At the Democratic National Convention, the Dems’ rising star, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, gave the nominating speech for Dukakis.

Though it was supposed to be a party unity speech, Clinton gave a loathsome, hate-filled roast of Dukakis: He laughed at Dukakis for being squeaky clean, hurled racist right-wing attacks, and mocked Dukakis’ earnest desire to help others. The media consensus was ‘political suicide.’ The speech is baffling from start to finish.

Unbeknownst to the public at the time, actor Rob Lowe was blackmailed with a teen sex tape at the same event days prior, where Lowe was supporting Dukakis. Once we know that blackmail was afoot, and we know that Clinton later established his CGI money laundering operation with teen sex blackmail artist Jeffrey Epstein, we are able to understand Clinton’s speech in full:

Bill Clinton is a mob boss who is slyly admitting to trying to blackmail Dukakis – hinting at his wife’s drinking problem that would be revealed to the public the following year. Clinton gleefully admits motive: He did it because Dukakis was an honorable man who thought his job was to help people, and Bill Clinton was a mob boss who was secretly on Bush’s side.

What makes it the most important speech in history is that it means the American public has been victim of a bi-partisan con since 1988: The cross-party fighting between Republicans and Democrats that stands in the way of getting anything done is a complete lie, with both parties taken over by this network of con artists.

With all of the above in hand, we turn to the Celebration of Eve Carson, held weeks after her death, where Erskine Bowles – Clinton’s former lackey – gave a speech.

The program begins with a video created by a documentary film class that followed the Morehead scholars on their service work abroad. It’s a slideshow of Eve’s time in Ecuador as she narrates in voiceover.

She describes her appreciation for her host family, grateful for their kindness and hospitality. She would help them feed their animals and collect eggs each morning. She shadowed at a nearby hospital where she assisted in the emergency room, and taught English to local children at night school (because the children had to work all day.

Eve’s voice-over continues:

“I think that one of the most important lessons I learned…was that poverty is not a pitiable thing. I saw a respect for poverty; a respect for a non-material way of life.”  

It’s spoken without arrogance or paternalism, but with the humility of someone who was honored that people shared this wisdom with her. This is the Eve Carson I remember: earnest, willing to learn, and the only person inspiring enough to make me politically active in my Busch Light era.

After a brief pause, her voice-over closes out the presentation: “It’s just great to realize you can *take* it, and I learned over the summer: That I can take it.”

This, of course, was not a continuation of her thoughts on poverty. It’s a jarring audio clip, especially to close the video: It’s spoken with a harshness that suggests an anti-Eve Carson, someone who would see people in need and would take instead of give; who would crush instead of welcome; who would con instead of serve.

When Bowles takes the stage, he appears to be stifling a laugh. He opens:

“You know, you can’t walk into this great big hall and not see Eve Carson right behind me…with that great big smile that filled up this place, and her face--“

He makes a notable gesture as he raises his hands to the side of his mouth before pulling them apart. In this brief gesture, it’s hard not to see a mouth being ripped open.

“—all painted Carolina blue.”

“Try as I might,” he continues, “I haven’t gotten to the celebration part.” Once more, he has a tight smirk as he seems to be holding a laugh in.

Shortly after: “As I told her mommy and daddy, Eve Carson was someone who made me feel special. She made me feel like I am important to her.”

It’s spoken like he’s describing a positive, but the subtext you may miss is that Bowles was Chief of Staff to a U.S. President, and Eve Carson was a college student mistaken about her role in the hierarchy. He shapes our world, and she could never halt tuition increases no matter how hard she tried, because his elite network had no interest whatsoever in halting tuition increases.

Next, “Eve had scheduled a meeting with me…to talk about the future [stifles another laugh] of our university.”

Then, he ponders how best to honor Eve’s memory. “I decided that what I should do, what we need to do, is maybe just work a little bit harder.”

There is more than a hint of mockery in his tone as he offers this weak, empty, and incorrect solution to any of the problems we face, as if he’s sarcastically repeating Eve’s words. It’s reminiscent of Clinton’s speech, where he mocks Dukakis for imploring him to try to improve issues of poverty and homelessness.

--

We can apply Occam’s razor to any of these facts and arrive nowhere near evidence of assassination: College kids screwed up the voiceover audio; the hand gesture was unintentional; his laughs are out of nervousness; and I’m mistaken about what mockery sounds like.

But we don’t need to apply it to any of these facts; we need to apply it to all of them. And then we need to remember that the only evidence of Eve Carson’s murder was hearsay; that Bowles’ old boss started a multi-billion dollar company with the most famous blackmail artist in history; that other schools in this orbit have wildly suspicious student deaths; and that Bill Clinton either blackmailed a governor and admitted it, offering the exact same motive: Because Eve Carson and Mike Dukakis thought there job was to help the public.

Occam’s razor suggests that Erskine Bowles is as ruthlessly criminal as Bill Clinton, and that he assassinated Eve Carson because she was a thorn in his side who needed to be taught a lesson. He committed such a risky and brazen crime because it was fun and because he’s invincible. You would too if your boss blackmailed a governor and then became one of the most powerful people on Earth.

Importantly, Eve Carson was not a powerless nuisance, though criminals like Bill Clinton and Erskine Bowles would never admit it to themselves. Eve Carson was an existential threat to them, and so was Mike Dukakis: The way you defeat rotten corruption is with honest leadership, with openness and determination, with caring people who see the goodness in others and are honored to help those who need it most.

That’s why Eve Carson was assassinated, and why Mike Dukakis was blackmailed: Because they were powerful enough to take down every last one of them.

Rest in peace, Eve. Thank you for everything you did and stood for.
