GARY REID GALBREATH

Reid Galbreath was an investigator for the California State Lottery, when he blew the whistle on issues he found gun the system he and others paid the price with their careers.

Gary Reid Galbreath or “Reid” as his friends call him, is a former police officer and state investigator originally from California.

He has worked on countless investigations in government, health insurance, and the private sector. He has over 17 years of experience in law enforcement, investigations, and security. During this time, he had the privilege of serving as a Terrorism Liaison Officer, Training Officer, and Lead Public Safety Officer.

Reid’s law enforcement career abruptly ended when he was fired for being a government whistleblower. Based on his own experiences, Reid is an advocate for whistleblowers who expose corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse. In addition to writing, he hosts a podcast called Whiskey & Whistleblowing.

Reid has worked with charities focused on assisting underprivileged, special needs, and terminally ill children. Reid loves sharing stories, especially while sipping bourbon from a rocks glass. Reid is a nerd at heart who collects unique liquor bottles and other memorabilia.

WORKS

Gary Reid Galbreath was born and raised in California and knew from a young age that he wanted to devote himself to the pursuit of justice.

From donning his first seersucker suit at 4 years old like this idol Ben Matlock to his career in law enforcement, he was determined to seek out the truth and level the playing field for everyone.

Little did he know that seeking the truth and finding justice as a California State Lottery Investigator would get him labeled as a whistleblower.

Fired and shunned by the very people he thought would support him in his quest for fairness, Reid, as he is affectionately known, shares his story of vindication and clearing his name.

"What Are the Odds: Blowing the Whistle on California's Lottery" recounts Galbreath's experiences as an investigator, how he came to be a whistleblower, and the ensuing fallout.

This is a story about doing the right thing even if it isn't the popular thing.

ABOUT GARY REID GALBREATH

Gary Reid Galbreath is a former police officer and state investigator originally from California. He has worked on countless investigations in government, health insurance, and the private sector. During his career in law enforcement, he served as a Terrorism Liaison Officer, Training Officer, and Lead Public Safety Officer. He has over 17 years of experience in law enforcement, investigations, and security.

After a decorated 11-year law enforcement career, replete with numerous commendations for his investigative skills, Galbreath was fired by the top officials in the California State Lottery for conducting an “unauthorized investigation” into corruption, committed by the very people who fired him. Galbreath’s investigation centered around misappropriation of public funds, lack of safeguards to protect the public from fraud, and failure to prosecute those who preyed upon some of California’s most vulnerable residents. These were the very things he was trained and tasked to investigate.

Not dissuaded into continuing a life of public service, Reid finds time to volunteer in his community working with charities focused on assisting underprivileged, special needs, and terminally ill children in need. Reid currently lives in Las Vegas Nevada with his girlfriend, his two Frenchies, his two kitties, and his red-eared Slider Harriett. You will usually find him pool-side making cocktails for his friends. Reid has a collection of unique liquors and memorabilia.

This St. Patrick’s Day will always hold special meaning for me because it falls on the week of my book release. As a former cop, and a whistleblower, I’ve experienced my fair share of stress. I was stressed at first about the release of my book, but as the day drew closer, I was relieved.

Owning my story was extremely important to me. Others had publicly shared aspects of my story. It was like reading Cliff’s Notes from a book you know like the back of your hand, and noticing the most important parts were missing. Being able to tell my story, in my own words, has provided me with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Today I will celebrate by raising a glass to all those who have been brave enough to speak up when they witnessed something they knew was wrong. To all of the whistleblowers from all walks of life, I stand in solidarity with you. To those who are living it now, and wondering if there is life after exposing the wrong, I assure you there is. The path is long, and often winding, but in the end you can have a sense of pride for standing up.

I found this about Epstein and winning the lottery: >

Hidden Epstein Records Indicate He ‘Won’ an $41 Million Oklahoma Lottery Jackpot Payout (Yeah, Right)- Epstein Found Alleged Dead Update

5-6 minutes

'What, you’re going to start to believe those conspiracy theories?! Please, it’s all coincidence!'

On July 2, 2008 — just one day after convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein started to serve an 18-month jail term in Florida as Inmate No. W35755 — his New Mexico “financial planning company,” called Zorro Trust, won the Oklahoma Power Lottery payout of $41.3 million and ultimately collected nearly $30 million in after tax winnings.

Jeffrey Epstein’s, “New Mexico” spread in his black book identifies a column as Epstein, Jeffrey, Zorro Ranch, with a phone listing for Brice & Karen. The very same Brice M. Gordon, who is a manager of Zorro Trust.

Only in cartoon world would it be believable that a so-called “sophisticated investor” who typically is looking to scalp every arbitrage and every basis point instead tosses money at awful-odds lotteries. This stinks to high heaven.

This heist was facilitated by “computer glitch”” the day of the public drawing on July 2, 2008.

For what purpose did the mysterious Epstein “win” the lottery. Inquiring minds would like to know. Does lottery fraud go a long way toward explaining the question of just how Jeffrey Epstein became a billionaire? Fixed Lotteries, fixed gambling stakes, fixed game show winnings, fixed horse race and sporting event payoffs and fixed large raffles are some of the most effective ways for the Crime Syndicate to scam and raise money. Certainly the rigged stock market is as well. Fraudulent victim-hood charities are right up there.

There’s scant proof as to Epstein’s financial bona fides.

The Intelligencer wrote that executive-suite financiers discussed how absent Epstein was from the field.

“He’s supposed to run an enormous FX [foreign-exchange] trading firm,” said Enrique Diaz-Alvarez, chief risk officer at Ebury. “But I never once heard of him or his firm or anyone who worked or traded with him.”

And as Forbes wrote in a 2010 blog post with the very direct title “Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not a Billionaire.” It stated that his money-management firm based in the U.S. Virgin Islands “generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released.”

Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing three of Epstein’s alleged victims, told the Palm Beach Post in 2008 that “in the litigation itself, we were never able to get him to produce verified financial information. The ‘nine figures’ came by negotiation. It kept going up and up and up.”

So, besides lottery fraud, could another source of Epstein’s wealth be Bernie Madoff-like Ponzi schemes? In as early as 2009, Business Insider noted that multiple red flags pointed to a possible Madoff-like fraud. One of his early partners, another Jewish criminal named Steve Hoffenberg, was convicted of running one of the largest pre-Madoff Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.

According to journalist Vicky Ward, Hoffenberg brought on Epstein in 1981 after he left Bear Stearns. Hoffenberg paid Epstein $25,000 per month for his work as a consultant for Towers Financial.

Hoffenberg pleaded guilty in 1994 to defrauding investors to the tune of $450 million.

For years, it appeared Epstein had no exposure in the Towers Financial case, until 2018, when shareholders filed a putative class action suit against him for his alleged role in the Ponzi scheme.

In a separate New York state case in 2018, Hoffenberg reportedly detailed Epstein’s alleged involvement in the scam. At this point, it is unknown if or how much Epstein pocketed from the Ponzi scheme.

Because Epstein’s wealth is held offshore and is shrouded in mystery, some speculate that he may have made his money in tax schemes or money laundering.

Investigator George Webb developed a theory that Epstein was a courier of drugs weapons and human trafficking (young girls) using aircraft and wink-wink diplomatic passports obtained from other Crime Syndicate partners.

One of Epstein’s clients was the Saudi Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran, as part of the Iran-Contra Affair in the 1980s. Khashoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew. And in the mid-1980s, Epstein traveled multiple times between the United States, Europe and the Middle East. (At the time of his most recent arrest, authorities discovered Epstein had a foreign passport that listed his residence as Saudi Arabia.)

While in London, Epstein met the aforementioned Steven Hoffenberg. They had been introduced through the weapons network: namely Douglas Leese, a defense contractor; and John Mitchell, the former Nixon U.S. Attorney General. Winter Watch Takeaway

While the focus is on underage girls, there is a sleazy layer of insider-based high-level looting and fixed collusion across multiple financial schemes.

He went out the backdoor weeks ago, as we reported in Is ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ Being Subjected to Star Chamber Sleight of Hand? – no photos or film of him since arrested, only court renderings. Is this Epstein?
