About Lurking in the Fog

Welcome to Lurking in the Fog! The podcast in which we dive deep into the crimes and evils that inhabits the world we live in. Our goal is to showcase how crime affects businesses day-to-day operations. From something as simple as accidentally setting up a factory in the wrong neighborhood and having to deal with criminal groups, to ensuring the safety of employees and cargo to governments using state-actors to pressure, attack, and harm companies in order to get their desired bribe or kickback. Why Lurking in the Fog? Simple: at its very essence, Crime operates in disguise. Rarely will it show its true colors in plain eyesight. Crime thrives in the grey. In situations where confusion and chaos are the norm, crime is king. As such, it Lurks in the Fog. Should you ever be in need of investigative assistance, don't hesitate to shoot us a hoot!

   E27-Bail Reform or Blood on the Streets?

   Crime doesn’t always wear a mask — sometimes it hides behind policy, politics, and good intentions. In this episode of Lurking in the Fog, we step into the gray zone of bail reform with Ken W. Good, appellate attorney and leading voice in U.S. bail policy. What begins as a legal debate quickly turns into a brutal reality: repeat offenders released without accountability, victims left unprotected, and a system that quietly manufactures chaos. From federal courtrooms to domestic violence cases that end in murder, this conversation exposes how “simple release” policies erode deterrence, inflate failure-to-appear rates, and transform reform into de facto decriminalization. We dissect the data, the politics, the money, and the narratives — and ask the question few are willing to confront: What happens when accountability disappears? This is not theory. This is not ideology. This is the fog — where crime thrives, consequences vanish, and silence becomes deadly.
