I thought the issue was allowing an arrested person to keep their passport and leave, not only the local jurisdiction, but the US, as well. This doesn't look like standard operating procedure. It would be good to address this aspect. Adjudicating the merits comes later, and would seem irrelevant to this flight issue. Did any of the others caught up in this operation leave the country?

Let's see now how many fallacies have you engaged in in this one comment? The first one is fallacy by association, where you judge my argument based on my associations. Flag on the play, you have violated one of the benchmarks of what it means to be an intellectual. The second fallacy is engaging in name calling, that my brain is conspiracy addled. That's the fallacy of the person where you are redirecting the conversation away from the subject and on to the person. That is a violation of the logical fallacy and shows that you have no game. Then you engage in name calling of people that I subscribe to, which again has nothing to do with the substance of my argument and is just more logical fallacies which again shows that you have no game. if you want to challenge me based on a specific subject, then challenge me with intellect and within the rules of logic, rather than the emotional expressions of someone who has absolutely no idea they even have a subconscious. That's not a fallacious attack on your personality, that's an observation, you speak from emotion rather than intellect.

Even your week pathetic effort at attacking my person is completely lame and illogical. I'm complaining about the release of a charged individual for crimes against a child and you turn around and call me a pedophile fan. And then, through some miracle of thought, you link me to a foreign government. What are you, 14? That's not an attack on your person it's a reasonable question based on the level of your thought processes. I used to be a school teacher so I'm very aware of adolescent thinking.

Because they think they have a special god, a special book, and special rights to real estate that entitles them to torture and murder anyone who gets in the way. Israel uses US foreign aid to lobby/buy the US Congress, which then further fuels its sense of entitlement. That's not conspiracy, it's math.

A foreign national charged in the United States with a major crime normally has their passport confiscated as part of the bail proceeding. Foreign Nationals are considered a high flight risk. Your friend the pedophile got special treatment. Are you a member of a pro pedophile organization that's going around defending your members?

Normally, when an intelligence-linked official from a close U.S. ally gets into legal trouble here, the arrest is either kept quiet, charges are downgraded, or the whole thing is handled administratively behind the scenes. That’s how the U.S. and its allies usually protect each other’s operatives — no public spectacle, no headlines. In fact, the standard play is to avoid embarrassment at all costs.

But in Alexandrovich’s case, the opposite happened: his name, government position, and ties to Israel’s National Cyber Directorate were splashed across local Vegas media and then global outlets almost immediately. That’s not how you treat someone you’re trying to shield. If this was really about “special treatment,” the simplest way to protect him would’ve been to keep the arrest under wraps.

So the fact that it was so highly publicized actually contradicts the popular claim that he got off easy because “Israel controls the U.S.” If anything, the exposure itself was humiliating for Israel and suggests either a bureaucratic slip — local cops moving ahead before Washington realized who they had — or a deliberate choice to put the story out there as leverage.

I think this is an important wrinkle: the publicity undermines the notion that he was secretly protected, and points instead to either incompetence or a calculated embarrassment.

Responding to alleged outrage is adorable. You picked a conspicuously easy target to critique. Why not address the way Epstein met Dershowitz? Not conducive to your absolution of Epstein and Israel?

Isn’t there some way you can blame Giuffre for this too? I don’t know why you think you need to appease or refute the internet bandwagon. You could do journalism. Like a journalist. And let the chips fall where they may. Prefacing your story as a public service is on brand for you.

Sure, I think you encapsulated it correctly: "Kinda the epicenter of conspiracy don't you thing?" Conspiracy of what?

- Lynn Forester de Rothschild married into the family, she is not a Rothschild by birth. Does this mean she is NOT up to crazy shit. No, but just yelling "Oh look, a Rothschild" is called guilt by association.

- Forester de Rothschild was a big time political donor to the Clintons and other Democratic politicians until Obama. Then she switched to supporting Republicans including McCain, Romney, and John Huntsman. Does this mean that all three of those were compromised by Jeffrey Epstein? If you're answer is "yes", please explain. Don't just say something like "connect the dots".

In short, any association with a well-known person like a member of the Rothschilds is indeed conspicuous, but please explain why it is more than just that.

I really cannot see how these types of operations are not considered entrapment. It seems to me that the only reason law enforcement get away with it is because of the subject matter.

Expand full comment
marlon1492's avatar

Actually, in this case as described, it wasn't even entrapment as there was no evidence.

My next door neighbor was correctly caught by an operation similar to this. Correctly in that he was specifically looking for significantly underage girls on the internet to have sex with and after a police woman posing as a girl told him she was fifteen he asked her to meet him. And they met in a hotel room etc etc.

He was 50 and his wife was devastated.

In my neighbor's case it wasn't entrapment, apparently he had been doing this for a while.

I’ve read the details of probable cause and declaration for arrest which in most jurisdictions means the investigating officer is stating facts under penalty of perjury. In the declaration, the detective doesn’t go into great specifics about the online conversation between Tom Alexdrovich and the decoy other than to say they made arrangements to meet somewhere and Alexdrovich agreed to bring a condom. The task force recorded the online conversation and the declaration states the decoy was “acting as a 15 year old female.” I’d be flabbergasted if the decoy didn’t make some reference to her purported age.

Pure’s terms of service are not going to a defense to this charge. Lots of dudes have tried to fight statutory rape charges on the grounds that they met someone in 21 & up bar. Doesn’t work.

By posting the 10k bail, Alexdrovich waived a probable cause hearing. Had Alexdrovich stayed incarcerated in Nevada, the investigating officer might have been forced to put forward some evidence that Alexdrovich knew this girl was underage.

marlon1492's avatar

Thanks for the clarification. I puzzled about two things here: can the police be so incompetent as to not have clearly indicated that she was under age. And on the flip side, I can't figure out why Michael Tracey wouldn't also be hip to what you describe.

BeauregardIV's avatar

A .pdf of the probable cause document I’m talking about is up on “Breaking Points” Locals channel. I assume Michael Tracy could post a copy here. There is enough to establish probable cause, but a prosecutor will need to produce more evidence to secure a conviction at trial. Again, the detective states the police recorded the online interaction between Alexdrovich & the decoy.

The question is whether this dude is going to show up at his trial.

180 degree disagree. Police put out bait cars to catch auto burglars & car thieves. I wish they would do the same with bait bicycles. If the decoy makes it clear to the dude online she’s underage, (hell if she even hints at it) the dude should end any sex talk with her immediately.

Alexdrovich took action to meet this decoy in the physical world. I got zero problems prosecuting folks who chat up people and try to arrange sex with when they know or should know the person is underage.

Pete McCutchen's avatar

I don’t think you put people in prison for hints.

In any case, we agree that if the bait person said he/she/it was underage, then sex talk or meeting for sex is a crime.

We know he was using an app for people over 18 that does age verification. We don’t know precisely what was said by the bait person, and that is the critical fact.

He should not have been allowed to leave the country. A judge should have noticed, given Israel's past history of failing to cooperate with extradition requests in this exact type of case, that this guy was a flight risk.

And the US attorney, a person with a lot of power and responsibility in this case, a person whose job is to represent America and American interests, should've asked a judge to take the guy's passport. But, strangely, the US attorney did not do that. Oh, and also strangely, the US attorney was born in Israel and has dual citizenship.

If this had occurred in a vacuum, your "argument" might stand, but as Greyzone and others have exposed, "israel" is a paedo haven, both for Jewish foreigners fleeing persecution as well as homegrown crimes. The rape culture in "israel" is also well known, and attested to by myriad IOF abuses of the investigative process of female IOF victims as well as Palestinian detainees. What else should we expect of a nation that seriously argues that sexual torture by the state should not be prosecuted. How many passages of the Talmud clearly give consent and approval for the sexual assault of "goyim"?

I like the way you approach it. If there is no evidence that he thought the girl was underage, there is no case, since the entrapment officer was clearly of age. If she let slip during the conversation a subtle reference to being underage, they would have to prove he picked up on it. In any case, it's clearly entrapment since there is no evidence whatsoever he would have been involved in any way with underaged girls had it not been for law "enforcement" efforts.

Earlier I asked Ryan Grim in his comments section if any attempt was made to find out how Alexandrovich returned to Israel. Mr. Grim did not respond. Would you happen to know?

Did Alexandrovich return to Israel via chartered flight or commercial airlines? If he had been considered to be fleeing on August 6, there should’ve been at least one chance to intercept him before he left U.S. airspace. He almost certainly would’ve had to land in between Vegas-to-East Coast and East Coast-to-Transatlantic. So there must be either an FAA flight log or passenger record, yes? Also, the other individuals arrested were allowed to post bond, yes? Alexandrovich is due back in court next Wednesday (8/27), yes? So at this point, this really isn’t even an international incident yet, no?

We don’t gotta be unbiased. But we do gotta be fair.
