Probation Ambush Arrest Orchestrated by Corrupt Court Officials
NOTE: View Episode 56 of The Unknown Podcast on YouTube and Rumble.
By Richard Luthmann with Michael Volpe
A Colorado rabbi who blew the whistle on family court corruption was ensnared in a stunning legal trap. Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky went to a routine probation check-in and walked into an ambush.
Rabbi Bellinsky had previously arranged for the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office to serve his ex-wife with legal process on a U.S. Supreme Court filing. The crooked Colorado Probation Office used it as a pretext to slap on the cuffs.
The false report that triggered the arrest was filed by Bellinsky’s ex-wife in Indian River County, Florida, and Colorado authorities pounced. This wasn’t law and order; it was a scripted takedown.
Bellinsky had partially won key federal lawsuits exposing judicial misconduct and child-custody fraud. Insiders say the sudden bust was payback for those legal victories.
“They set me up because I fought back,” Bellinsky said, describing the ordeal as an act of pure retaliation. The cast of characters reads like a rogues’ gallery: Judge Dinsmore Tuttle – a senior Colorado judge Bellinsky has accused of “weaponizing” the courts – and even Chief Judge Philip Brimmer of the U.S. District Court, who initially dismissed Bellinsky’s civil-rights suits before the Tenth Circuit reinstated them.
Sources allege these officials colluded with prosecutors to silence a man who dared to expose their scheme.
On The Unknown Podcast (Episode 56), co-hosts Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe pulled no punches as they dissected the Bellinsky case. Luthmann, a flamboyant Florida journalist, called the case “a brazen frame-up by a bunch of judicial gangsters.” Volpe agreed, blasting the arrest as “retaliation, plain and simple – the system’s revenge on a whistleblower.”
The podcast – known for its bombastic, hard-hitting style – gave Bellinsky a platform to tell his story and name names.
“This isn’t justice. It’s a hit job,” Luthmann said.
Bellinsky was hauled off from the probation office in handcuffs, stunned at how far the judiciary would go to shut down a critic. The message from Colorado’s legal elite was clear: if you can’t beat him in court, trap him outside it.
Colorado Court Cartel: Psycho Ex-Wife and Scumbag Lawyer?
Rabbi Bellinsky’s saga began as a child custody fight and exploded into a full-blown exposé of a court conspiracy. The father of eight says a corrupt cabal abused the law to steal his children and destroy his life.
“For four years, I have been unlawfully separated from all contact with my minor children through coordinated abuse of judicial power,” Bellinsky lamented.
After his ex-wife, Rachel Zinna Galán, suddenly moved to strip him of custody, Bellinsky found himself targeted by bogus charges and void court orders. In 2022, Colorado prosecutors charged him with violating a restraining order for sending a single text to his daughter – “Have [daughter] call me” – during a Jewish holiday.
“They threw me in jail for reaching out to my child,” Bellinsky said in disbelief.
According to Bellinsky, these charges were all part of an “enormous ‘color of law’ crime spree” orchestrated by Galán’s attorney, Andrew Hart. Hart allegedly coached Galán to obtain fraudulent protection orders and lodge false reports of violations. Those false reports led to Bellinsky’s arrest and even jail time.
We asked Attorney Andrew Hart of Radeff & Hart Family Law Attorneys in Denver about Rabbi Bellinsky’s claims. As of press time, he has not responded. Here is what we asked:

Colorado Court Cartel: Whistleblower Rabbi Exposes Scheme and Scores Court Victory
Judges and clerks in multiple counties – including Senior Judge Dinsmore Tuttle – stand accused of aiding the scheme or turning a blind eye.
Bellinsky struck back with two federal civil-rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and related laws. At first, the cases were tossed out on jurisdictional technicalities. But in a rare rebuke, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed those dismissals and cleared the way for Bellinsky’s claims to be heard.
The appellate panel even called one trial court move “erroneous,” cracking the armor of family court immunity. Advocates hailed it as a “watershed moment” in exposing how family courts hide misconduct.
“This is coordinated institutional criminality spanning all branches of Colorado government,” Bellinsky warned after the ruling.
Armed with this victory, he was poised to finally hold the alleged perpetrators accountable – until the Colorado powers-that-be devised their next trap.
Colorado Court Cartel: Shining a Light on Retaliation and the U.S. Supreme Court Trap
The retaliation against Bellinsky hit a new low with the probation-day sting. As he continued his legal fight – even petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court in two pending cases – his opponents plotted behind the scenes.
In a scandalous twist, a routine legal service involving the Supreme Court became the bait. Bellinsky had exercised his rights by using the Indian River County sheriff to serve official court papers on his ex-wife, a standard step in his appeal.
But prosecutors twisted this lawful act into a probation violation. They moved to revoke his probation, effectively criminalizing his right to petition the courts.
“They’re punishing me for following the law,” Bellinsky said, incredulous. “Every day this system runs, families are torn apart by unlawful judicial actions. It’s government-sponsored abuse.”
The hosts, Volpe and Luthmann, urged listeners to follow Bellinsky’s court battles and demanded accountability from the officials involved. They highlighted how Judge Tuttle and others were subjects of misconduct complaints even as they sat in judgment.
The Unknown Podcast isn’t mincing words: Episode 56 has become a rallying cry against what Luthmann dubbed “Colorado’s courtroom cartel.”
As the rabbi’s fight heads to the nation’s highest court, the world is finally taking notice. Bellinsky’s crusade – and the shocking retaliation against him – underscore the stakes when one brave parent dares to expose judicial corruption. In the court of public opinion, at least, the gavel is coming down hard on these crooked games.
