What’s unfolding in a New Jersey court might confound even the late-night radio legend and king of conspiracies Art Bell.
In one corner is David Rubini, a fast-talking on-air talent with a Texas twang, who styles himself a former protégé of Bell’s and his disciple on the radio mic.
Rubini’s nemesis, Michael Marshalek of Hoboken, is a conspiracy-radio fan turned anti-face-mask crusader. Of late, he faces charges for allegedly holding his 5-year-old son captive during a police standoff over COVID restrictions.
At stake is a piece of Bell’s legacy: a collection of the Radio Hall of Famer s final shows before he died in 2018. Rubini claims that Marshalek invested in his online radio venture and then stole Bell s archives. He aims to get them back.
