Crackstarter breaks $200,000

Posted By: Newstalk 1010 · 5/27/2013 4:13:00 PM

The online fundraising campaign to try and raise the funds to buy the alleged video showing Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine, had reached its goal.Nicknamed the 'Crackstarter' campaign, the 200 thousand dollar goal was passed just before 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, with about 11 hours to go before the deadline.There's no word though on if a deal will be completed.The website has indicated that they'd lost contact with the original owners of the video. As a matter of fact, they hadn't spoken since LAST Sunday, more than a week ago.There were several postings on the website including this one pointing out where the money would go, if a deal couldn't be done:If we end up meeting that goal and fail to consummate this transaction, we will-as we promised at the outset-donate the proceeds to a Canadian nonprofit that addresses substance abuse issues. We haven't figured out which one yet, but I'm sure we'll be able to select a worthy one.

One of the men in a controversial photo of Mayor Rob Ford and homicide victim Anthony Smith was injured in the same shooting that claimed Smith’s life, the Star has learned.Muhammad Khattak, a 19-year-old living in north Etobicoke, was hit in the arm and back the same night Smith was killed two months ago outside a King St. nightclub.A photo of Ford arm in arm with three young men was given to the Star by a man who later showed this paper a cellphone video of Ford smoking from what appears to be a crack pipe.Two sources, one with the Toronto police and another involved in politics, tell the Star homicide detectives are now investigating whether that phone originally belonged to 21-year-old Smith. (There is no indication Khattak or the third young man is involved in either the video or the drug trade.)Homicide detectives did not return calls.Khattak’s mother, who identified herself as Zen, said she asked Khattak what he was doing in the nighttime photo, in which Ford is casually dressed and Smith is apparently drinking.“He said: ‘Was I drinking? Was I smoking? Did you see anything with me?’ ” she said.Zen said Khattak told her everybody wanted to take photos with the mayor. He would not give her any more details about the night.The Star was contacted about the footage four days after Smith’s death.Khattak’s mother said she has no idea how her son or Smith ended up involved in a shooting.“I’m still shocked. This kid was a very good kid too,” she said, gesturing to Smith’s photo, her eyes puffy and pink.“My son, I know him, he’s a very innocent kid. They’re friends. They’re having fun, whatever they’re doing outside. But I know them — they are nice kids. They are very nice.”She said the duo have been friends since they were as young as 10. They used to play on the same basketball team.“It’s not safe, Toronto,” she said.Khattak recently left his family home to avoid attention generated by the photo’s publication.A Facebook profile under one of his nicknames is peppered with photos of Smith and tributes to the young man.“RIP Big Bro,” reads a caption on one photo, posted April 7, of a man wearing jeans and a dark hooded sweatshirt who appears to be Smith. “Forever In My Heart Mourn Till We Join You General. . . ”Another photo shows a tribute spray-painted at the centre of a community basketball court in Dixon Park. “R.I.P. RONDO,” it reads.Rondo was one of Smith’s nicknames.

The two men were shot outside Loki Lounge nightclub on King St. W. near Portland St., sometime after 2:30 a.m. on March 28.Nisar Hashimi, 23, turned himself in April 4 after he was named a suspect. He has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder in the death of Smith and shooting of Khattak.

During a recent visit to the Toronto jail, a reporter was told by Hashimi he had never heard of or seen Smith until he was charged in his murder.“I’m innocent,” he said. “I don’t know these guys. . . . I don’t know why I’m here.”Hashimi said all he knows about Smith is what he has read in the newspaper since the drug allegations about Ford have surfaced.Two weeks ago, the Star revealed that two reporters had viewed a 90-second cellphone video that appears to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine. A group of Somali-Canadian drug dealers who claim to have sold the drug to Ford on numerous occasions, offered to sell the video to the Star for $100,000. They also approached the American gossip website, Gawker. Its editor, John Cook, also viewed and wrote about the video.Ford dismissed the stories as “ridiculous” the day after both ran, but it took a week before he issued a full denial. On his Sunday radio show, when a female caller asked him to explain the photo, Ford said he takes photos with “everybody.”“That’s very sad, that she’s a racist,” the mayor said afterward, referring to the fact that the three men in the photo are all minorities.

Both the Star and Gawker declined to pay for the footage. After the contents of the video were made public, the dealers raised their price to $200,000. Gawker launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money. It met its goal just hours ahead of deadline.Neither the Star nor Gawker has been in touch with the men selling the video for a week. A broker who is acting on their behalf is still in touch and says the dealers are “laying low.”Robyn Doolittle can be reached on her cellphone, 647-404-4740, or by email rdoolittle@thestar.ca

Reports: Mayor Ford staffer questioned by police about tip that links alleged video to killing

Posted By: Newstalk 1010 · 5/27/2013 5:59:00 AM

There are new, unverified allegations regarding the video which purports to show Mayor Rob Ford doing drugs out of a crack pipe.The Globe and Mail says it has confirmed through two separate, but unnamed sources that a staffer within the Mayor's Office told a senior member of Rob Ford's staff that the original owner of the video was killed, possibly because of the value of the contents of that video.The senior staffer, thinking this could be evidence in a murder investigation, called police. The Globe cites one unnamed source as saying two Toronto Police officers interviewed that senior staffer last week, away from City Hall.The report says Police have refused to comment and the Mayor's spokesman has not yet responded to requests for comment.NEWSTALK 1010 has asked for comment from Ford spokesman George Christopolous, by email and phone, but so far there has been no response.This is just the latest in a story that has consumed the media and politics of this city for more than a week.  The brothers Ford were wound up on NEWSTALK 1010's The City on Sunday afternoon, responding to  the Globe story on Saturday alleging that Councillor Doug Ford was a hash dealer in his late-teens and early 20's.

Homicide detectives interview Rob Ford staffer after ‘tip’ on whereabouts of alleged drug video from mayor’s office

Tyler Anderson/National PostToronto Councillor Doug Ford (L) with his brother Mayor Rob Ford at a press conference where the Mayor addressed allegations that he smoked crack cocaine, May 24, 2013. 

Doug Ford is facing his own drug-related allegations now.

New reports today claim that a staffer within Rob Ford’s office knew the whereabouts of an alleged video that reportedly shows the Toronto mayor smoking crack cocaine, potentially contradicting Ford’s own statements that the video “does not exist.”Toronto homicide detectives confirmed Monday they have interviewed a member of Ford’s staff after they reportedly received a tip from the mayor’s office in relation to the whereabouts of the video.A photo allegedly taken from the video that was given to the Toronto  Star and U.S.-website Gawker appears to show Ford with Anthony Smith, a 21-year-old who was gunned down in a “targeted” murder earlier this year outside a Toronto nightclub.Ford fired his chief of staff, Mark Towhey, last week after sources said the pair had a falling out after Towhey asked the mayor to seek rehab. On his radio show Sunday, Ford said he didn’t discuss personnel issues but did deny the firing was related to football issues.Staff Inspector Greg McLane, the head of the Toronto police homicide division, told CP24 that the investigation was not related to a homicide but his officers conducted the interview because they have expertise other police officers may not.The disclosure comes after Globe and Mail reported Monday that police spoke to a senior staffer after a tip linked a killing to the alleged drug video which was reportedly viewed by an editor at Gawker and two Star reporters that they say shows the mayor smoking drugs.
The Globe article said that the staffer “purported to know the address and unit number” where the alleged drug video was being held.
Neither report named the Ford staffer.

ScreengrabA screenshot of Gawker's report about a video that allegedly shows Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine.“Police did have a serious conversation last week with a senior official in Mayor Ford’s office,” Globe and Mail editor-in-chief John Stackhouse said on CBC’s Metro Morning, one of several interviews he gave Monday morning. “That indicates that senior people in the mayor’s office believe there is a video out there, and certainly enough to pass on information to the police and to participate willingly in an interview with police about circumstances around the video and disappearance of the video.”Gawker has raised nearly $200,000 to buy the video but said the sellers of the video have gone underground and they can’t get in touch with them.When asked about the photo on his radio show Sunday, Rob Ford said he took pictures with “everyone.” He said he could not comment on a video “that does not exist.”Councillor Doug Ford has repeatedly called Gawker’s efforts to buy the alleged video “disgusting.”“I think it is disgusting . . . That an organization like Gawker would go out there and deal with a bunch of extortionists, a bunch of Somali drug dealers,” he said. “I puts a real tarnish on a great community, the Somali community.”On Sunday, the Fords called a caller’s inquiry about the alleged photograph of the mayor with Smith, “racist.”Councillor Ford lashed out at those questioning the mayor for posing “with his arms around two young black men,” deeming the comments “racist.”“That’s very sad that she is a racist,” added Rob Ford.The National Post has not seen the alleged video and therefore cannot verify its authenticity.Meanwhile Councillor Doug Ford has vigorously denied allegations from the Globe and Mail that he was a drug dealer in Etobicoke throughout the 1980s.He called the allegations “disgusting.”“I was not a dealer of hashish in the 1980s. Their stories are not accurate whatsoever. These newest accusations represent, in my opinion, the lowest of the low when it comes to journalistic integrity,” Doug Ford said on the radio.But politically, it seems the damage has already been done to the Fords.Coun. Josh Matlow, a council centralist, said the allegations that Doug Ford was a drug dealer “has been one of the best known secrets around City Hall for a long time.”Coun. John Parker, told CP24 “it’s hard to believe it’s all lies” as Doug Ford has said. With files from Natalie Alcoba, National Post
