Casey/Caylee Anthony: MSM Did Not Solve Who Todd Black Was … Looks Like it was Blink34 and Scared Monkeys … Hello Gil Cabot

Posted by BOC Staff | "Todd Black" | Tuesday 3 February 2009 6:35 am

Will the real Todd Black please stand up. Or should we just say Gil Cabot.

So the MSM has finally gotten around to investigating who the real Todd Black is. It is about time they got around to looking into the background of the Jose Baez spokesman. However, everyone might want to take a closer look as to who was really on the fore front of this investigative story.

Todd Black, not his real name, has been referred to over and over as the spokesman for the for Attorney Jose Baez and the Casey Anthony defense legal team. Previously, Todd Black has stated that he would not give his real name, hmm. Who has ever heard of a public figure like a media spokesperson not using their real name? Would tend to seem to fly in the face of ethics and credibility.

Using fake identities raises some serious ethical issues, according to public-relations consultants such as Margaret “Marti” Mackenzie, who works for attorneys.

“To use a fictitious name flies in the face of creating a trusting and ethical relationship with the media,” said Mackenzie, author of “Courting the Media: Public Relations for the Accused and the Accuser.” ”And for anybody in the media, frankly, who covers the statements released knowing this person’s rather charlatan behavior, I consider that also to be unethical.”

The Orlando Sentinel and WFTV are both finally reporting that Todd Black appears to really be Gil Cabot. The Orlando Sentinel reported that a former FBI agent who investigated Cabot in the late 1980s told the Sentinel he thinks Black’s voice sounds the same as Cabot’s on recordings he listened to. Gil Cabot has quite the past as he was convicted of attempting to extort $30,000 from television journalist Jann Carl.

When a Sentinel reporter pressed Black on Thursday for more information on his identity, Black said the newspaper was wasting its time.

“It is an absolute lie that I am Gil Cabot,” Black said

Black, who operates under the corporate banner of Press Corps Media, has declined all requests to be interviewed in person. But he has said that the parent company of Press Corps Media, Arrested Media, was founded by Cabot.

Even Yogi Berra comments that “It is like deja vu all over again”.

Why does all of this sound so familiar? Yogi Berra would say “It is like deja vu all over again”. Where have I heard that Todd Black was Gil Cabot? Some news organizations may want to go back and take a good look at their notes.

WFTV is reporting that they have solved the mystery surrounding the phantom PR man for the Casey Anthony defense team.  WFTV states Todd Black is really Gil Cabot. Did WFTV really solve this mystery … because it sounds an awful lot like a two part series that Blink34 and Scared Monkeys recently posted. Interestingly enough all of the same detail is referenced in the Blink34 article regarding Todd Black, Gil Cabot and his past associations. Hmm.

  • Todd Black Who? Blink34 New Spokesperson for Casey Anthony Defense Baez Law Firm, Part 1
  • Todd Black Who? Blink34 New Spokesperson for Casey Anthony Defense Baez Law Firm, Part 2

However, according to Todd Black/Gil Cabot is a press release … “It simply DOES NOT MATTER.” Many would bed to differ with you Gil.

UPDATE I: Gil Cabot is a Tampa native and graduate of Hillsborough High School. He started out as a DJ and got involved in the music business before he got into trouble.

    Red-
    I have been in touch with WFTV and the Sentinel.
    They both had this article and research file, of which 5 other researchers worked on, in October 2008. If they choose not to update their sources publicly, I will be glad to post those email exchanges :)

    Didn’t I see something from Blink’s team posted on a radio website back in October? More than a few hatefully clueless bloggers chastised the team for falsely claiming that Todd Black was Gil Cabot. One even interviewed ‘Todd Black’ by phone and proclaimed Todd Black to be simply Todd Black, a poor victim of Blink’s group of clueless bored housewives. I guess the BS really is BS.

    If it took this long for WFTV and the OS to ‘solve’ this non-mystery on their own and call it news, they are just the sort of clueless folks Jose B is hoping to seat on his jury.

    Gee, I wonder where Kathi B got her big scoop on KidFinders and the Milsteads. Care to guess?

    #1- Anytime you feel the need, Blink…let it rip!
    Those e-mails would sure make for some interesting reading. & # 3- LMAO!!!

    #5-melissa- Thanks for the link, but didn’t know if you realized this
    ews”" article was from September of 2008…so what is the relevance to Todd Black/Gil Cabot? Am I just suffering from brain rot this morning or did I miss something?”

  6. melissab says:

    sorry im at work so i cant answer. ill find everything when i get home. the reason i remembered this is because when they connected the companies (which is what prompted the threat to sue)… i started lurking online, google, people finder stuff etc. i saw a lot of what you had. their story is what made me look though. it looks like they have a different site that im having trouble navigating through though. im not trashing anyone, im just glad hes out. just thought id chime in.

  7. HOPE says:

    Awesome!

    So he is an ex-felon.

    Florida Bar Association had better blow the whistle…

    Foul!

    .

    Justice for Caylee!
    :)

  8. HOPE says:

    ie:

    Get that public relations idiot AND his employer, a practicing attorney, away from the Casey Anthony case. He is wasting taxpayer money and time with his daily practice of weaving truth with lies. His total disrespect for the law has been made evident in his actions since the beginning. He has, even, gone as far as to participate in illegal acts against our own penal system. His actions pertaining to his client, has gone beyond what one would describe as unprofessional and he continues to behave in that manner, even after being warned. He has turned the rules of ‘priveledge’ on its’ ear… and is making a mockery of the court.

    Does that sound like a respectable member of the Bar… someone we want practicing law under the rules of the judiciary? Not, hardly.

    What corpse did he steal that hair-do off of?

    Re #8
    Melissa,
    Respectfully, the threat to sue came about when people began doubting the legitimacy of the COMPANY Todd Black stated he owned-you know, the one with the Nashville address and Mrs. Baez’s phone number. At that time people were researching the COMPANY.
    The fact that Gil Cabot and Todd Black are the same person was ‘outed’ when Rozzie ran the piece from Blink’s group on October 30. At that time, Blink and the group received a lot of undeserved grief for publishing what others finally admit has been true all along. I think you are somehow blending the facts of two stories together.

    Think about it logically for a moment.
    If, as you say, WFTV reported this huge piece of info in September, WHY are they only NOW reporting the TB is really GC as bombshell news that they’ve just uncovered? There is only one answer.

  11. ANewGirl says:

    #13- Uh-hah. And this entire case gets wierder by the minute. The saddest part of all is how horribly Caylee Marie Anthony has been exploited repeatedly and without any care or concern!

    A child has been murdered at the hands of her Mother. The Grandparents & Brother are enablers who have all lied & who have bitten the very hands that tried to help them from the beginning. They haven’t done themselves, the Murderer Casey or their deceased Grandchild/Niece any favors from sitting by and watching the whole debacle unfold.

    After you throw in all the leeches and scumbags trying to make a quick buck on the side & even attempting to market dolls that sing when you press their bellybutton…it’s enough to make you lose your lunch.

    What about Caylee ????? The only people who have cared for her have even been subjected to undeserved grief from the unappreciative family members named above….Enough is enough!

    There will be justice-Casey Anthony is done! Hopefully, the public service will take place soon as promised-and when the trial ends..true justice will finally be served.

  12. Bob says:

    You’ll find some more about Gil Cabot at http://www.teddwebb.com/showcase/where_are_they_now/gil_cabot.html. Contains a paragraph blaming others for his troubles.

  13. Blink34 says:

    Bob, that link is broken, however we have that source in the original piece. Your right, he is a big blamer. The funny thing is, there’s alot more that we decided not to print..

    I have heard behind the scenes there is alot of traction on TB today in SA office and FBA.

  14. #16, why must you be a hater all the time? You must be a joy to be around. NOT! You are really sad and pathetic.

    Blink and the 5 others who worked on this were referenced in the article published at SM.

    As I stated above … stick to discussing things you have knowledge of … off the top of my head nothing comes to mind as to what that might be.

    Blink and I have been discussing things that date all the way back to October.

    I have a novel approach for the Anthonys-TELL THE FREAKIN TRUTH!!!!
    I know, it’s risky-but there’s a little girl dead for no reason (as if there were ever an understandable reason to murder a child) The endless dodging, the detachment from reality, everything is so clear-even to abnormal folk like myself-
    Tell the truth, cowards-bury the poor little girl and pay the freight for taking the whole nation on a ride in your freakish Wonderland where your thinly veiled lies were known for exactly what they always were….
    Be a human being and tell the truth. No stupid t shirts, subterfuge, fanfare-just the damn truth please-nothing is going to set you free-but start the end of this nightmare-
    It’s so easy-tell the truth.
    This child’s death has become a surreal clownshow, she’s been left in a cardboard box, assorted trashbags; God himself is waiting for some microscopic drop of decency from your family.

    If you’ve done wrong, fess up-if you’ve dodged to save your daughter from her inevitable consequences, just fess up-it will end the nightmare and give some slight semblance of dignity to that child’s memory.

    Stop ALL of these charlatans from making a buck-man up and end this.

  16. Dee McClellan says:

    Re: #16

    As one of the 5 others who worked with Blink on the original Todd Black/Gil Cabot piece, why do you assume that the group members are not also members of the SM community?
    Guess what? We are-every one of us.

    Instead of casting stones, why not simply be appreciative of a community where speaking the truth is valued and advocacy is supported– instead of being relegated to a parking lot?

    This has always been-and always will be–about a beautiful 34 month old child who left this world far too soon. Those who were closest to her and entrusted to care for her seem to have forgotten that fact, but WE have not, and will not.

    re: post # 20

    As a contributor to the research for said piece I can confirm that :

    1. It was copyrighted

    2. IT was placed on line in a down-loadable format for certain people to be able to access. Said file tracks who accessed this info and when.

    3. Emails exist that back up the fact that discussions took place with said reporter about the info in this file.

    4. A professional always gives the source when they are accessing and using someone else’s copyrighted material.

    5. It isn’t about the credit as much as a lack of fair play and professionalism that has seemed to mar this case at every turn.

    6. This is about a small little girl who needs a voice. She is speaking to us through her demise to at least do the best by her that we can. That being said, exposing not only her mother and family, but all the circus like characters that have inhabited this case. To bring dignity back to Caylee we need professional people with professional ethics to give us the news. We also need them to follow up and make sure all the foxes are out of the hen house before the trial.
    Why..so that by the time we get to trial for this little girl’s life it will be about her and her demise. The charlatans will have been exposed prior to this so that there are no longer any interlopers with much to gain during her trial.

    Dignity is the name of the game here.

    I would like to request that people email OCSO advising them DO NOT PLACATE CASEY ANTHONY AND HER ATTORNEY to allow visits that are NOT VIDEOTAPED..The OCSO is considering allowing a visit with her parents to be completely private..The other prisoners don’t have that luxury, why show a child killer like Anthony have….

  19. Gigi says:

    I am not surprised that Casey and the Anthonys are surrounded by liars and media hounds. From the beginning, the drama created by Casey and her family has always taken the spotlight off the real issue: finding Caylee and her murderer. Anything that blink can do is better than what the police and attorneys have done. i sure hope that all of this information that is being put together by blink and others on the comment logs are being read by those in law enforcement and the prosecuting attorneys office. I have little faith in our justice system. Caylee deserves better than what she has gotten.

    It’s blatantly obvious what your motives are…when you shopped your story did you get any takers? Any financial reward for your efforts yet? Hilarious.

    No Friends Left, Casey Anthony Says She Likes Jail Life According To Fellow Inmates

    All of what I am about to write, please take with a grain of salt because these are rumors from people that are locked up at the Orange County Florida jail along with Casey Anthony. Apparently, some of Casey Anthony’s fellow inmates are now telling people on the outside that Casey has said that she has no friends left in the outside world and also that she is now enjoying prison life.

    In my opinion, most of this talk is nothing more than hogwash. From my personal observations, Casey Anthony is a narcissistic sociopath that will always need to have fellow human beings that she can control and manipulate.

    My opinions is this, if Casey Anthony has made such statements to other inmates at the Orange County Florida jail – her only purpose in making those comments was to further manipulate her family and the general public into believing that she is indeed a victim here just like Caylee. In my view, it is important to think of Casey in terms of what she really is and not what she tries to convince others that she is all about.

  28. sweetmop says:

    So glad the little witch is loving her “Beautiful Life”! LOL!
    She’s going to be there for the rest of her miserable, murderous life! Is she trying to convinve the public or herself how much she loves it though?
