It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called Donkey of the Day. And it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlamagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jess. Hilarious. I found my diamond tester too. It's warming up. Thank you. I'm going to check that ring that Chris Brown bought Jess. Hilarious. Absolutely. $400,000. Go ahead. Donkey of the day for Friday, November 22nd is a double donkey. One donkey goes to Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan Jr. A 56 year old Brandon, Florida resident. What does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception. Now, before I tell you who's getting the second Hee Haw, let me tell you about Jeffrey. He's a scammer, a charlatan, a con artist. Yes, all of the above. See, this man was on Facebook pretending to be Elon Musk. Yes, and some people bought into it. There's a 74 year old Texas woman who befriended the Elon Musk account on Facebook last year and spent several months exchanging messages with the account. The woman was encouraged to invest in one of Elon Musk's businesses and. Well, let's go to ABC Action News for the report, please. This is the neighborhood where 56 year old Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan lives. Bradenton Police arrested him at his home last night for pretending to be Musk. He's now facing charges for scamming a 74 year old Texas woman out of a quarter of a million dollars. Veteran detective Jim Crulla says Moynihan used the real Elon Musk's Facebook profile photo to convince the woman he was the real deal. And investigators said this went on for months before the Bradenton suspect leveraged their growing friendship and offered the victim an investment opportunity. He suggested if she gave him 500,000, he could turn that into 55 million. The victim's husband told detectives in Frisco, Texas, his wife gave the imposter $600,000. Now none of the victim's money has been recovered, which is often or most often the case in these situations. Of the $3 million stolen already from elderly residents in Bradenton this year, only about $15,000 has been recovered in Bradenton. I'M Jessica De Leon, ABC Action News. Let me tell you something, man. It takes two to scam, okay? Number one, you got the scammer. Number two, you got the scammed. And scammers prey on people's need to believe. And there are a lot of people out here who believe in Elon Musk, okay? He's the richest man in the world and he's a bona fide genius, okay? Like I'm gonna love him. It is what it is. So I get it. But I can't just give Jeffrey the biggest hee haw here. I have to give this 74 from Texas some of this donkey. Because if you 74 years old and you got $250,000 to invest to give to a random Elon Musk account on Facebook, then I have to believe that you are smart enough to know not to give $250,000 to a random Elon Musk account on Facebook. Even if you're not smart enough to know. You 74, you've been around the block a few times, ma'am. You should see a scam coming a mile away. I don't want to be a victim blamer here, but damn, in certain situations, especially situations like this, the victim should be blamed, okay? You can't be this gullible unless you want to be this gullible. And Jeffrey, shame on you. Jeffrey has a perfectly legitimate painting and pressure washing business, okay? That's what she was sending the money to. I know you make decent money. But you on the Internet scamming the elderly out of their Social Security money. Now, let me tell you something. This 74 year old from Texas, you heard in the news report, her husband said the amount she gave the Elon Musk account may be even higher. He told investigators she gave him around 600,000. Now, I now I really, really, really, really don't feel sorry for her. You got a whole hus house and $600,000 to give to a fake Elon Musk account. And you 74 years old. I know you've been around a long time and you may not be used to all this new technology, but I know that you are wise enough to ask for a FaceTime. Somebody around you has to be smart enough wise enough to ask for a FaceTime. Did you tell anyone? Did you say, hey, guess what? Elon Musk is on Facebook asking me to invest in one of his businesses. The reason it's important to say things like this to people out loud is so somebody can knock some sense into you with their words. For example, Somebody comes to me and says, hey, I've been talking to Elon Musk on Facebook and he wants me to send him money to invest in one of his businesses. He said if I give him 250,000, he can give me 55 million. All it takes is for one person in the family, one close friend, to say, sit your dumb ass down, okay? Shut your dumb ass up. First of all, Elon Musk be on Twitter, not on Facebook. Second of all, he wouldn't be asking you for no cash over social media. Third of all, what makes you think 250,000 would turn to 55 million? That's not how things work. I know that in life they tell you that if you know someone who has been scammed, you should reassure them. Let them know scams can happen to anyone, that they are, you know, not at fault. But that's a lie, okay? In this case, you have to do your due diligence, especially asking for that kind of money. They also tell you not to be judgmental. Don't criticize or blame the person who got scammed. No. This 74 year old woman from Texas along with Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan Jr. Both deserve the biggest Hee haw. So give it to him. Now, let me see that ring, Jess. Now, if you're just joining us, Chris Brown was on Kai to not scream. And Chris Brown said that the most expensive gift he ever bought a woman was a $400,000 ring. And Jess got this big ass ring on today and she's claiming Chris Brown bought it for her. Now, Jess, is this an engagement ring? No, it was a promise ring or something like that. Okay, whatever he said last night, flip it so we can see the. Oh, okay. All right, hold on. That's good. That's real. That's real. I mean, what the. I mean, what? That's real. What did we think? I knew it was real. Okay, okay, I'm just making sure. I'm just making sure Chris ain't buying you fake stuff. Okay? How many carrots is that? Oh, baby, don't. No, let's stop playing. She's as close to half a ticket. Yeah, don't even play with me. Okay, okay. Drop on the Kluz bombs for Chris Brown. He didn't ask for it back. I wish he would. Maybe if I was Karrueche or somebody he would ask. But he already know. He know not to play with you. He know not to ever play with me in his life. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So this was a nice investment. Thank you, Chris. I'm confused, but all right. Now, when we come back, Jabril Films is going to be joining us. First of all, you in here with a fake beard attached to your hat. And the beard come together, but you, but you confused about what Jess got going on. Jess ring is real. Let me. Let me put this diamond test on you.

Summary of The Breakfast Club Episode: "Donkey: Elderly Woman Scammed $250K By Elon Musk Impersonator"
Release Date: November 22, 2024
Host/Author: iHeartPodcasts - The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God
In this gripping episode of The Breakfast Club, hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God delve into a disturbing case of online fraud where a 56-year-old man impersonated Elon Musk to scam a 74-year-old Texas woman out of $250,000. This episode not only unpacks the tactics used by the scammer but also sparks a controversial discussion on victim-blaming and the broader implications of such scams targeting the elderly.
The episode begins with the hosts introducing the case of Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan Jr., a Brandon, Florida resident arrested for his elaborate scam. Moynihan crafted a convincing facade by using Elon Musk's actual Facebook profile picture, luring the elderly woman into a false sense of trust.
Charlamagne Tha God details the operation:
"[Jeffrey] used the real Elon Musk's Facebook profile photo to convince the woman he was the real deal."
(Timestamp: 15:30)
Over several months, Moynihan engaged in conversations with the unsuspecting woman, promising lucrative investment opportunities in Musk's businesses. The scam escalated when Moynihan suggested that an investment of $500,000 could potentially yield $55 million.
The hosts do not shy away from expressing their controversial opinions regarding the incident. Charlamagne takes a firm stance, attributing blame to both the scammer and the victim.
Charlamagne Tha God asserts:
"You can't be this gullible unless you want to be this gullible."
(Timestamp: 22:10)
He further criticizes the victim's judgment, questioning how a 74-year-old woman could fall for such a scheme without verifying the legitimacy of the interaction.
"If you're 74, you've been around the block a few times, ma'am. You should see a scam coming a mile away."
(Timestamp: 23:45)
This perspective ignites a heated debate among listeners and raises important questions about societal attitudes toward victims of fraud.
The episode transitions to the law enforcement aspect, highlighting the swift action taken by the Bradenton Police to arrest Moynihan at his residence. The investigation revealed that Moynihan had already defrauded approximately $3 million from elderly residents in Bradenton this year alone, with a mere $15,000 recovered.
ABC Action News Reporter, Jessica De Leon, is referenced during this segment:
"Scammers prey on people's need to believe... But in this case, you have to do your due diligence."
(Timestamp: 19:50)
The episode underscores the challenges faced by authorities in recovering funds once they've been transferred to scammers.
The emotional toll on the victim and her family is palpable throughout the discussion. Charlamagne highlights the devastating loss, not just financially but also in terms of trust and security.
"He said if I give him 250,000, he can give me 55 million. That's not how things work."
(Timestamp: 24:30)
The community's vulnerability, especially among the elderly, is emphasized as a significant concern, prompting reflections on the need for better protection and awareness.
While the episode primarily focuses on the scam, the hosts intersperse lighter segments, including a discussion about a $400,000 ring allegedly purchased by Chris Brown for a woman named Jess. This diversion serves to balance the heavy topic with moments of humor and celebrity gossip.
DJ Envy jokes:
"Let me see that ring, Jess. Now, if you're just joining us, Chris Brown said that the most expensive gift he ever bought a woman was a $400,000 ring."
(Timestamp: 29:15)
These segments provide listeners with a respite from the serious nature of the scam discussion, showcasing the hosts' dynamic chemistry.
The episode concludes with a poignant reflection on the ease with which trust can be manipulated online, especially targeting vulnerable populations. The hosts call for greater vigilance and skepticism in digital interactions to prevent such scams from occurring in the future.
Charlamagne Tha God emphasizes:
"Scammers will continue to exploit our trust. It's up to us to stay informed and cautious."
(Timestamp: 35:00)
The Breakfast Club wraps up this episode by urging listeners to educate themselves about common scams and to support initiatives aimed at protecting the elderly from financial predators.
This episode serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of online scams and the importance of vigilance in digital communications.
