A former Democratic official from Las Vegas, Robert Telles, has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for the murder of journalist Jeff German, who had written articles exposing Telles’s intimate relationship with a female coworker.
Telles, 47, was convicted of first-degree murder by a jury in August. The sentencing included enhancements for the use of a deadly weapon and the age of the victim, which added an additional eight years to the minimum 20-year sentence, according to the Associated Press.
“The judge couldn’t sentence him to any more time,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said. “She gave him the maximum.”
Despite denying responsibility for German’s death, DNA evidence found under the journalist’s fingernails linked Telles to the crime. German, a reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had written several exposés that revealed bullying in Telles’s office and disclosed the romantic relationship Telles had with a female staff member. These articles contributed to Telles losing his re-election bid in 2022.
At the time of his arrest, Telles was the administrator of a county office responsible for managing unclaimed estates and probate cases. Following his arrest, he was removed from his position. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
