#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
Yeah, exactly. One of the plaintiff's attorneys had said to us early on, you know, that he had heard from I can't remember exactly how many. Do you remember Sheridan?

#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
Yeah, it was about five, six months ago. So that number just kind of increased significantly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
Yeah. So the state is more specific because they name, you know, these like incidents with with alleged victims, you know, using their initials. It's interesting because Tal is not facing any state charges. So he is currently in federal custody in Miami. I believe that, you know, eventually the federal case will take over. I don't know exactly when that happens, but.

But for now, they you know, they went before Judge Mindy Glaser this morning. They'll go back before a different judge tomorrow morning. I just believe that the federal will trump will trump the state case, you know, the state charges.

#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
Yeah, and I think too, like what was interesting, and I don't know that we necessarily expected this, was when the story, when our first story came out about the two lawsuits in June, our Instagram comments blew up. I don't know if you've seen that, Billy, but, and they've continued to.

#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
And it's been a place where people are talking about what they, you know, what they knew, what they'd heard, other, you know, alleged survivors were posting. So it was just like, I think that, they allegedly operated in a way that in business and personally where it was very high pressure and people, in a way people are living paycheck to paycheck and they're living commission to commission.

So like Sheridan said, it's different. Like you have to rely on these relationships. And I think by none of this coming out until now, it just kind of like fueled itself.

#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
We started reporting on this in June. We got a tip that something was going on, and so we searched for lawsuits that had been filed against, you know, any of the brothers, Oren, Tal, or Elan, and Sheridan found the the two lawsuits in New York, and they were filed against Oren and his twin, Alon. So Oren is in real estate. Alon is in his family's private security business.

#BecauseMiami: The Power of the Cuban Sandwich
And that's kind of how it got started. And then we started to hear from other alleged survivors of the brothers. And there was additional reporting in other publications with other accounts. And that's kind of how it got going.

Yeah, they grew up in Miami. They went to high school here. The indictment that was filed in the Southern District in New York goes back to high school that they allegedly gang raped girls when they were in high school. It's as recent as in the Miami case, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's case, The incidents that they cite allegedly occurred in 2016, 2017 and 2021.

So it's like it's a very wide range of time where these attacks allegedly, you know, these alleged attacks occurred. But it's it's start, you know, it's it's dating back to high school.
