JPMorgan Chase & Co. has asked the Manhattan District Attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, to turn over certain records and documents as part of the federal lawsuits the bank is facing over its business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The requests came amid litigation by Epstein accusers and the U.S. Virgin Islands that alleges JPMorgan enabled Epstein's sex-trafficking network by maintaining him as a client for years, including after his 2008 conviction. JPMorgan is seeking statements and other materials from Bragg's office that could relate to claims by a woman suing the bank — identified in court filings as “Jane Doe” — about what the bank knew regarding Epstein and his activities, and whether senior executives, such as former JPMorgan banker Jes Staley, had first-hand knowledge of his operations.A federal judge ordered the Manhattan DA's office to provide a privilege log describing the documents JPMorgan wants and later ruled that certain statements made by a plaintiff to one of the DA's prosecutors must be turned over to the bank. The judge's rulings underscore how the evidence held by prosecutors in New York — including victim statements — may play a role in the civil cases against JPMorgan by shedding light on what the bank and its former executives may have known about Epstein's criminal conduct during their interactions with him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The so-called “Jeffrey Epstein client list” was never meant to be found—because it never truly existed in the way the public was led to believe. From the beginning, the myth of a tidy, centralized list of elite names was allowed to flourish as a form of narrative control. It redirected attention away from the actual operational infrastructure Epstein had—hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, financial records, logs, communications, and coercive systems of recruitment and entrapment. By hyping the existence of a list while ensuring none would ever surface, investigators and media handlers created a perfect decoy: people kept searching for a ghost document while the real evidence—often compartmentalized, hidden across agencies, or buried under privileged redactions—slipped quietly out of public focus. The obsession with “the list” became the conspiracy, while the operation remained untouched.Social media influencers played a key role in amplifying this misdirection, whether they knew it or not. Some were likely given material or talking points through informal backchannels, while others jumped in out of clout-chasing instinct, chasing virality without verifying facts. The result was a flood of content that kept audiences locked onto the illusion that a single document would unlock everything, rather than asking who funded Epstein, who protected him, and who is still pulling strings to this day. Influencers—both grifters and the genuinely misled—ended up serving the same purpose: they diluted public pressure, created echo chambers of false hope, and helped intelligence-linked interests steer the narrative away from its dangerous truths. The “client list” was never the target. It was the trap.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.como

Ghislaine Maxwell's vast rolodex of contacts was central to both her allure and her complicity. For decades she positioned herself as a high-society power broker, cultivating ties with royals, politicians, financiers, and celebrities. Investigative reports and newly surfaced Epstein emails—more than 18,000 in total—show her not just as a socialite but as a manager of Epstein's operations, handling finances, coordinating PR strategies, and even distributing damaging information about accusers. Her proximity to power amplified Epstein's reach, allowing him to weaponize the credibility that her network provided.Even after her 2021 conviction, Maxwell has denied ever seeing a “client list” or witnessing abuse, despite evidence that her contact lists and correspondence were integral to Epstein's machinery. Prosecutors, congressional investigators, and survivor advocates argue that Maxwell's rolodex functioned as more than a status symbol: it was a shield of influence, a recruiting tool, and a lever to keep powerful figures insulated. Far from being incidental, her network remains one of the most scrutinized elements of the entire scandal, emblematic of how social capital can be twisted into a mechanism for exploitation and cover-up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:18 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:20 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, we have some exciting things coming in the future here. I want to make sure the listeners are well aware. In the Supreme Court, we have a case coming up that is going to look at the prohibitor for firearm possession concerning marijuana use, if you’re a user of marijuana. And the case is U.S. versus Hemani. This is very interesting, because it is widely believed that the Court is going to strike down the gun ban for marijuana users. Regardless of how you feel about marijuana use, I’m looking forward to seeing this opinion, because it may be useful in knocking down other gun disqualifiers. Because, folks, gun disqualifiers, such as the gun ban for marijuana use, is an area of exploitation by the gun rights oppressors. Evan Nappen 01:38 So, if they can’t just get a flat out gun ban through, which they try to do all the time, if they can piece meal gun bans to various classes of individuals, then they get the job done that way. That’s why you see the ever expanding list of persons who they try to get disqualified from being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights. And this case has, I believe, potentially very far reaching implications as to subverting that anti-gun rights, that gun rights oppression tactic. So, we want to look at it at as more than just the marijuana. It will be fascinating to see it be a victory, because we have parties in support of this ban going away as diverse as, on the same side now, the ACLU and the NRA. Both. The ACLU is in favor of getting rid of the marijuana user gun ban, because it is, of course, beneficial to in their view, I’m sure, legalization of marijuana, which is something that they would be in support. The NRA is in favor of it going away, because it is consistent with The NRA’s position of supporting Second Amendment rights. So, this has created the classic strange bedfellows situation. (https://www.marijuanamoment.net/aclu-attorney-confident-supreme-court-will-strike-down-gun-ban-for-marijuana-users-after-oral-arguments-next-week/ ) Page – 2 – of 11 Evan Nappen 03:28 But ultimately, what we see coming from it should be a victory for gun rights. And I believe and hope it will be even further reaching than simply addressing the marijuana question. It’s going to be, I believe, very helpful in fighting other disqualifications. Remember, New Jersey is one of the states that tries to always have an expansive list of what disqualifies a person from being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights. They love to create disenfranchisements of our rights because they are rights oppressors, and this tactic, hopefully, will be taking a hit here. So, we’ll keep you informed about the progress and what occurs under the Hemani decision. Teddy Nappen 04:30 I will say, just from the ACLU, just to be clear, they are heavily backed by the Democrat for their super PACs. I’m just saying. Like that is the, and I can’t wait to see all the individuals of the ACLU all out in mass as they’re about to help win a pro-gun victory as well. Yeah. Evan Nappen 04:55 I guess they’re looking at it more as a pro-marijuana victory and ending prejudice toward marijuana users. But whatever their motivation may be, we are going to be consistent in our support for Second Amendment rights. Getting rid of disqualifiers is getting rid of disqualifiers that are disenfranchisements to our Second Amendment rights. So, hey, at least they’re on the right side on this one, and maybe we can get them to continue to see the light on other disqualifiers. Such as restoration of rights for felons and such, right? I mean, this is something you would think they would be in favor of, as well, for restoration of rights. You paid your dues. You served your time. And if you’re not a violent felon, why are you disenfranchised of your rights? I mean, even violent felons, when you get right down to it. I mean, there’s, I missed that in the Second Amendment, where it says we have a right to keep and bear arms, unless you’re a felon, you know, or any of these exemptions. They aren’t there. So, to what degree we tolerate them, to what degree we may think they’re even valuable, I don’t know, but we need to. I’d rather be seeing us pull back on every type of ban and maximize freedom and maximize our Second Amendment rights. Evan Nappen 06:31 Also, in regards to maximizing our rights, there is a really interesting I just love this. I love this. There is an attempt, now, a very shrewd attempt on the pro-rights side to create the ability to get around, yes, a loophole, folks. Because you know what loopholes are. Loopholes are freedom finding a way. And this. Teddy Nappen 07:08 I thought it was a hole in a Castle. Evan Nappen 07:10 Yeah. Right, exactly. Loopholes were the hole in the castle that you would fire your arrows from, because you would still be protected. You could still fire through those, those square, rectangular hole. They’re the loopholes. So, that’s why they’re called that. But, anyway. The key loophole here is in the Hughes Amendment. What there’s an attempt to do, particularly in West Virginia, who has taken the lead here with a bill in West Virginia, which is SB 1071. This is right from AmmoLand, by the way. Page – 3 – of 11 (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/02/contact-chairman-willis-now-sb1071-could-restore-machine-gun-rights-in-west-virginia-if-it-gets-a-hearing/) It could restore access to modern machine guns. That’s right. Evan Nappen 08:00 What they’re doing, what they’re attempting to do is a bill that will create a state run Office of Public Defense within the West Virginia State Police. To procure and sell modern, select-fire machine guns directly to qualified, law-abiding citizens. That’s right. You know how some states have State liquor stores. This will become the state machine gun store. That’s right. It can operate via the Hughes Amendment. Now, the Hughes Amendment was the law back in ’86 that prohibited the, I mean, actually the Hughes Amendment prohibited the new, the sale of new manufacture of machine guns. Okay? So, that created this situation we have now where it’s legal for a citizen to obey the NFA and acquire a machine gun and pay the $200 tax. But the problem is no new machine guns could be put into registration, you see. And that created this essentially, artificially, ridiculously high, crazy prices to own full auto. So, this bill takes the Hughes Amendment and essentially flips the script on the Hughes Amendment by stating that, and this is under Title 18 922(o), that the Hughes Amendment. Here’s, the key loophole language. “. . . does not apply with respect to a transfer to or by, or possession by or under the authority of, a State or any department or political subdivision thereof.” Evan Nappen 10:20 So, in other words, the bill will create a State agency that purchases machine guns and transfers them by quote, right in the law, “by or under the authority of”, the State of West Virginia. The transfers are therefore fully compliant with federal law and critically exempt from the National Firearms Act $200 transfer tax because they’re government facilitated. It’s brilliant. It’s brilliant. It’ll make it so that qualified persons, any adult, who can legally possess firearms under federal and state law, they’d undergo a background check at state police, state police troop headquarters. The office would, where possible, prioritize West Virginia manufacturers, operate distribution points using existing facilities, and issue official state certificates of transfer. Subsequent transfers between qualified citizens would require a simple $275 re-transfer fee through the office, which is waived for heirs. A $250 surcharge per gun plus a modest administrative fee capped at 50 bucks, would flow to the new Public Defense Fund to cover costs, generating revenue for the state without raising taxes. Evan Nappen 11:48 And it was GOA (Gun Owners of America) that drafted this bill. This is really cool. And now I think Kansas is putting a bill forward, and I’m sure we’ll see other pro-gun states moving to create this. This way we can gut the Hughes Amendment and open up the market for new full auto. And by doing that, they’ll become even more commonly owned and become an even greater argument for the Second Amendment and their protection. Eventually, with enough exploitation of loopholes, laws themselves that created the original ban become useless and in fact, go away. We’ve seen this happen. We’ve seen this happen. For example, when it came to NFA Trusts, to purchase NFA, you had to get, at one point, what was called a chief law enforcement officer to sign off. And if your chief didn’t sign off on that, you could not appeal it. You were just dead in the water and could not acquire NFA. Then along comes the idea of setting up a trust where trusts do not require a chief law enforcement to sign off. So, everyone started doing NFA Trusts to acquire NFA, because it avoided the Chiefs sign off. And Page – 4 – of 11 because of that, there were about 10,000 trusts at ATF on NFA. So many just got around it that they finally just repealed the rule and said, guess what? You don’t need to have your chief law enforcement approve it. They just have to get notice of it. But they got rid of the sign off. Why? The loophole defeated it. Evan Nappen 13:50 We see that even going on with switchblades. We’ve seen how there’s been a huge expansion in knife rights based on the ability to work the loopholes for interstate sale and for state sales to be independent. And how the federal prohibition was simply affecting very specific transactions under federal law. To the point where the federal government, in trying to uphold the federal switchblade law, said, as one of their justifications, well, the law isn’t even enforced anymore. That’s right. Why? Loopholes! Loopholes. Freedom finding a way. And so this is exciting to see this taking place on machine guns. Finally going at the NFA. Not shying away from taking on the big stuff. Not letting them get away with claiming that any firearm is somehow intrinsically evil, wrong or bad. We’re finally fighting back with offense. Offense for once. Not just totally on the defense. Evan Nappen 15:07 Speaking of which, you may encounter a new group called “Bridging the Divide”. (https://bridgethedividenow.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Brief-Policy-Outline.pdf) Bridging the Divide on Firearm Policy. Oh yeah, they’re claiming that there’s some bipartisan, that they have taken pro-gun folks and anti-gun and uniting them on principles that everybody believes in. They’re claiming to do this. And here’s their wonderful policies. Lo and behold, when you look closely at this so-called, you know, “Bridging the Divide”, which is, you know, bridging the gap, which is more of laying a trap, my friends. Laying a trap. What you see are their policies that they’re claiming is, you know, they have this bipartisan, so to speak. This is pro-gun and anti-gun right oppressors. Gun rights oppressors and gun rights people. Evan Nappen 16:08 And of course, here’s their policies. They have eight of them, eight of them. This so-called “Bridging the Divide.” One, Prohibiting Factors for Firearm Purchase and Possession. This is right from their “Firearm Policy Outline.” They want to prohibit gun possession by those convicted of violent crime at the misdemeanor level while removing state restrictions on those non-violent felonies. So, they want to expand prohibitions to misdemeanors. Claiming, of course, non-violent felonies, right? Yeah. And then remove prohibition of gun purchases by persons who use marijuana. Well, yeah, guess what? The Court’s already going to kill that. So, they’re throwing this in. They want to, essentially, what they’re looking to do is expand prohibitions to misdemeanors. Who’s kidding who? Come on. Give me a break. Evan Nappen 17:04 Two, Background Checks. Create state level background checks for private sales. Oh, so, in other words, Universal Background Checks, and they want to impose it state by state. More of that. So, end private sales. But they want to have “logical exemptions”? Well, it’s the same, so-called logical exemptions. Let’s just instead of logical, we’ll call it “narrow”, narrow exemptions. No. Private sales should remain private sales. It is more of an intrusion, more of oppression, on our gun rights. How about three? What’s the third thing? Extreme Risk Protection. Oh, seriously? Red flag. We have seen, Page – 5 – of 11 experienced, and are currently experiencing the unbelievable denial of due process that takes place from that garbage. Evan Nappen 17:55 Four, Dealer Registration and Gun Trafficking. They want to focus on the small number of dealers from whom the majority of traced crime guns originate. Oh, really? Well, guess what? What creates those statistics? Anytime they’re run – when guns are seized. And if you’re seizing guns the way New Jersey does, at the drop of a hat and those guns are run, that raises dealer numbers as quoting “crime guns”, even though they’re not crime guns. It is absolutely a flawed basis, and they want to focus on that. Five, Child Firearm Access Prevention. Oh, lock up your safety. That’s what that’s called. Lock up your safety to protect the children. Here we go again. Six, Firearm Suicide Prevention. Ah. In states where murder rates are low, well, let’s go at suicide. Anything we can do to go at the guns, right? And what happens with suicide prevention? Oh, well, that’s the wellness check. You know what’s going on in New Jersey with wellness checks? Anybody calls on anybody, and the police come. They take you away. They take your guns. They hold you for about three days to see if you’re okay. And even though you’re fine, now we got to fight to get your rights back. Fight to get your guns back. There’s a million ways to kill yourself, folks. Focusing on the gun isn’t the answer. Focus on actual causes. But no, it’s just an excuse. Teddy Nappen 19:34 I think the biggest issue with this whole concept of “Bridging the Divide” is take a step back and let us, let us be on equal terms. Here’s the problem, they cannot define what an assault firearm is. They are. Evan Nappen 19:50 Wait, wait, Teddy. I haven’t even gotten to that yet. I haven’t gotten to that. Teddy Nappen 19:54 All right. Evan Nappen 19:54 Number seven, Firearm Injury Prevention Education. They want to tie public health to firearm injuries. Why? Because that goes to healthcare so they can regulate it. Get it regulated back through the health, federal health agencies. Get it back to the CDC. Get them back on it. Cranking out anti-gun nonsense. That’s the game. Eight, Community Violence Intervention. Oh, that gets funding to who? Anti-gun groups. That’s what it’s about. Evan Nappen 20:33 So, we’re looking at these policies and then who’s on it? Well, their board is chock full, chock full of all former and bunch of all anti-gun rights folks. Then they sprinkle in a few that are supposedly pro-gun. So, who’s one of them? Rob Pincus. Rob Pincus is on there, proudly on there. They have listed him as a gun rights advocate. Except here’s a little article from Lee Williams back in March 29, 2021, from thegunwriter.com. (https://thegunwriter.substack.com/p/huh-rob-pincus-supports-expanded?utm_source=publication-search) It says, “Huh? Rob Pincus calls for expanded background checks, gun control and then says he didn’t.” Oh, really? Interesting. You can read that article and see. Page – 6 – of 11 The people they’re getting on board. There’s no major player there that is truly an advocate of our gun rights that I could find, and plenty that aren’t. Evan Nappen 21:30 Nowhere in their policy does it say repeal assault firearm bans, repeal large capacity magazine bans, repeal sensitive place prohibitions, or enact national reciprocity. All the things that we’re fighting for, for our rights. No. All it is is more, more, more. Just a subterfuge of more bans, more back doors to taking away rights. I didn’t see a damn thing here that expands our rights. Nothing. It’s just take, take, take. And package it as some kind of compromise. Their compromise is always us giving up our rights. Forget it, folks. Just forget it. Evan Nappen 22:18 And finally, let me point out, right from The Trace, right from The Trace. Sent out in an email blast, and I just want to read you this from The Trace. (https://mailchi.mp/thetrace/inside-the-loosely-regulated-world-of-gun-manufacturing-4869976?e=a13774efb8) This is fascinating. “Since the Trump administration snatched. . . ” This is The Trace. Snatched. They think of the Mel Brooks. You know, sees snatched, right? But anyway. “Since the Trump administration snatched funding from gun violence prevention . . .” Oh, in other words, let’s decode that. Since Trump took away all the money going to gun rights oppression groups, “. . . the field’s practitioners have had to confront an uncertain future.” Oh, they’re no longer getting the money from the Government. Huh. “Without federal dollars, state and local governments will have to decide whether to pick up the tab. It’s far from a sure thing. Gun violence intervention programs have long had to fight to prove the value of their work. The problem, however, is that it’s difficult to measure. Studying gun violence is expensive, and the nature of violence makes it a uniquely challenging subject to pull apart.” In other words, to propagandize into an anti-gun policy, to take away our rights. “And while gun violence research has seen a resurgence in recent years, the Trump administration cut funding for that field, too.” Yeah, isn’t that cute? I love it. “. . . meaning the available evidence for these programs could grow slimmer.” Evan Nappen 23:46 So folks, The Trace is bitching and moaning about losing their money, and who took it from them? President Trump. And it’s about time. There’s no reason our tax dollars need to go to oppression of our gun rights, and it’s the Trump administration that ended this funding. Keep that in mind. Teddy Nappen 24:10 Just to kind of going back to the whole issue. Whenever the Left try to present themselves like no, no, we need to find these common sense issues. Okay. Let’s define our terms, because the Left does not see the Second Amendment as a right. We know this because the Left wing nut case of a judge, Jackson went and broke down her entire descent of Bruen, describing how it is not a right. It’s a privilege. Arguing that when we deal with gun cases, you have to consider the victims of gun violence rather than looking to the law and the Constitution. That is where they’re coming from. They’re coming from the stupidity and suicidal empathy when they say they’re bridging the gap. That is their argument. Page – 7 – of 11 Evan Nappen 25:01 Just don’t fall for it. Don’t fall for it. But here’s something that you would, that you would like to do, something that you should do, something that you would enjoy doing. And that is going to WeShoot.

Teddy, what do you have for us today in Press Checks? Page – 8 – of 11 Teddy Nappen 29:50 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free, and I just want to preface this on this one. Where you see in the news media, they’ve been pushing the whole Epstein thing. All right? They’ve been trying to push that. And of course, the Left ended up destroying themselves, as they’ve lost multiple power players who have been implicated in the whole, in the whole surroundings that it comes with the Epstein files being released. And one of the individuals who, by the way, this individual had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein since, like, the early days, Michael Bloomberg. You know, maybe it was because he had a, you know, big gulp in his hand, and that’s why, you know, he’s like, Oh, how dare you. But, yeah. Teddy Nappen 30:41 So, we go to AmmoLand, where this was a wonderful article written up by Alan Gottlieb. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/02/ccrkba-demands-bloomberg-come-clean-about-epstein-relationship/) Regarding the fact that now we are demanding that all the anti-gun groups, including Everytown, including all of his multi anti gun right the gun rights oppressors groups cut ties with Michael Bloomberg. You know, the money. And there was, I actually went. And funny enough, anyone can do this. You can go on to the Epstein files on the government website, and they have the entire files library. You can type in word searches. So, you type in “Michael Bloomberg”. I went and read through the different documents on it. Now, to preface this, there was no showing of wrongdoing in what was discovered by the fact he was. However, he was invited with Michael Bloomberg, George Stephanopoulos, Eric Schmidt, all these individuals, to a cocktail party with Jeffrey Epstein to watch The Imitation Game. You know, that movie about Alan Turing where he broke the German Enigma. Okay. Bear in mind, this is 2015. Jeffrey Epstein had already been convicted of the first initial charges back in 2000. Evan Nappen 32:05 He was a felon, you know. So, hey, they love to make a point that they shouldn’t have guns. Epstein kept trying and trying and trying to get his rights back so he could get guns. Yet, here he is with the king of anti-gun funding, Bloomturd. Teddy Nappen 32:25 Yeah. Evan Nappen 32:26 What’s that all about? Teddy Nappen 32:27 There was also a letter. Now, again, there was no direct correspondence with Michael Bloomberg. However, there was a letter from Maxwell, Jillian’s mother, basically inviting him to attend a premiere, apparently, this was a movie, Power of Good. I’ve never heard of this one. But this very clearly shows that there was direct information going back and forth. There was also, it seemed to be, there was a massive invitation, and Jeffrey Epstein was trying to create this almost investor group. I want to tell you. Like he wanted to make this online new media. He was naming these board of directors, one of which was Michael Bloomberg, the Rothschild, Lee Rothschild, Alan Goodman. So, various individuals. He Page – 9 – of 11 seemed to be almost like a financial advisor or a bank roller for Jeffrey Epstein. Again, there’s no showing of wrongdoing, but it’s just, clearly, he had a relationship with him. Even highlighted to the articles where, in 2011 the Palm Beach Daily News, Epstein’s address book included Michael Bloomberg. In 2013, there were multiple pictures taken with Bloomberg and Maxwell together having book parties at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York City, where I guess they were reading gender queer, but also the level. Evan Nappen 33:51 Well, the way they brought in the Clintons to the committee, they need to bring Bloomberg in. I mean, you know, this is. The Left kept pushing and pushing and pushing about the Epstein files. Hoping against hope, that they could somehow get President Trump on this, when, in reality, what we’re seeing is it blowing up in the Left’s face, aren’t we? Teddy Nappen 34:12 Yeah. Also, here’s a really big one. Epstein was invited to a Bloomberg hosted fundraiser for Plaskett. Congresswoman Plaskett. You know, the woman who took direct funding from Jeffrey Epstein, actually got donation money. So, not only was he hosting the dinner, cordially inviting Epstein to come on down. Even writing a letter. Please join our host. Michael Bloomberg. Dear Jeffrey Epstein, please join our host, Michael Bloomberg, to the dinner. So, very clearly he was running in these circles. There’s a very clear tie relationship. Again, no showing of wrongdoing. There wasn’t a direct correspondence with him in the emails. And if you actually go through a lot of the emails, he would email news articles. That’s why you know Bloomberg News. And he would email them to others. So, that did also come up. It just shows the very clear ties. This is the one that really sticks out to me. Documents release revealed he was interested in gun politics and Bloomberg’s work. They don’t show direct donations to EveryTown. However, in 2013 there’s an email soliciting Epstein for a donation to American for Responsible Solutions, which is run by Gabby, Gabby Giffords, who later became Giffords. Evan Nappen 35:34 That’s right. But all they care about with Epstein is Trump. And how does that all relate? Is Trump in the Epstein files, Teddy? Teddy Nappen 35:46 Oh, very much. Yes, yes, Trump is in the Epstein files. Okay, I’ve got to tell this to everyone here. The black pillars, all those out there, we do not have all the information. We know that for a fact. Okay? Has it been mishandled? Absolutely. Pam Bondi should resign. Fall on her sword. Because she has damaged the administration on Trump for the mishandling with the stupid binder gate, all the stupidity of, oh, I have the client list on my desk. That was a lie. And the whole situation there. However, if you actually look at the timeline, you can go see the articles. See the full breakdown of it for Donald Trump. Teddy Nappen 36:24 Here’s the timeline, 2004 to 2005, there was reported abuse by a 14-year-old girl by Epstein. Then Trump immediately ended the relation with Jeffrey Epstein. Banned him from Mar a Lago. In 2008, Epstein was convicted with the help of Donald Trump, who cooperated with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer, who fully deposed himself to the lawyers. As opposed to all the other people that are Page – 10 – of 11 implicated, who just stayed away. He actually went in to help the victims. Imagine that. And going in next 2000, after Maxwell is convicted as well, where she trafficked to Epstein. Also in 2019, he’s later arrested again. Guess who’s President in 2019? Donald Trump. He was arrested for sex who invested arrested Epstein for sex trafficking, and then he’s later dead in 2019. So, not only does it exonerate, where, after he was convicted, Trump broke off all relationships with Epstein. He helped get Jeffrey Epstein. That is all that they have on Donald Trump when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Teddy Nappen 37:32 All the fake news, all the fake and you know why he said hoax? He wasn’t saying the Jeffrey Epstein whole pedo ring was a hoax? No, he is saying hoax, as in talking about the Dems whole plot to directly connect Trump to the pedophile ring. That is their plot. That was the hoax. Was it misspoken? Yes, Trump fires from the hip. Sue him. That’s how it goes. But actually looking at the facts of what came down, this is what he should have said. Under four years of Biden, not one committee was formed to go at the Epstein files, to go after the Epstein files. The Dems didn’t even want to touch it, which, by the way, all the people that were running in Epstein circles, Schumer, all the, all the heavy donators, Bill Gates, all these individuals are running in Michael Bloomberg, running heavily donations, including Jeffrey Epstein, who heavily donated to the Democrats. So, it’s the level of insanity that goes into it. Teddy Nappen 38:37 By the way, for everyone to remember. Did you know? Did you also know the fact that all of a sudden, the victims who never spoke out during the four years under Biden are now taking Super Bowl ads saying, release more files. Okay, what happened to we have our list. We’re making our list. Just say it. Are you worried about defamation? Musk said he’ll pay for defamation. And good luck as trying to go after women of victims of sexual abuse. I’m sure a go fund me will be immediately formed and covered. So, what are you waiting on? Oh, that’s right, these are just political cudgels for you to abuse. Okay? That is a fact, and that’s what I’m saying to the victims who, all of a sudden, will not name names. So, that it’s one of the big things, like, very clearly, it’s being used as a political tool. They don’t actually want to release the names. Evan Nappen 39:28 Well, I think it’s interesting that it’s come around to Mr. Bloomberg, and that has major effect in terms of funding of further gun rights oppression. He needs to explain the way they’re looking at it. Forced it to be opened up. Hey, guess what? You’re there. You need to explain it now. At least do that. Teddy Nappen 39:52 Also this. Evan Nappen 39:53 There you go. Teddy Nappen 39:54 Proof in concept. Peter Mandelson, who was directly connected to Jeffrey Epstein. He was Keir Starmer’s Cabinet Minister, who just recently resigned. He resigned in shame. So, the proof is in the Page – 11 – of 11 proof is, in fact, that this has the effect. If we could break up Bloomberg from EveryTown. I mean, there is their money. They have nothing aside from. Evan Nappen 40:17 Well, they’re not getting funding anymore from the Government. Yeah, from USAID killed all that. Yeah, so that’s good. Well, let me tell you, Teddy, about this week’s GOFU. That is a Gun Owner Fuck Up, where you learn about expensive mistakes that others have made so that you don’t make them. Now this week’s GOFU that I want to talk about, might even be considered a future GOFU. But it applies still today. If West Virginia, Kansas, or any of these places end up creating State machine gun stores, if you will, which I believe they will, and this ends up taking off, make sure that you do NOT, as a non-resident of those states, acquire a machine gun from those states and then, no less, bring it to New Jersey. In other words, the GOFU, in the big picture, is you have to be cognizant of your jurisdiction and what you’re doing in your jurisdiction, and when you’re in another jurisdiction, what you can and can’t do. Evan Nappen 41:34 We see the jurisdictional problem arise all the time. Whether it’s in carrying a gun where you’re allowed to carry in one state and not in another, whether it’s purchase or possession of a firearm in any given state versus another, people bringing guns or accessories or other things that were legal in one place and illegal in another. The burden is on you to know this. I am constantly seeing cases where people make that very critical error. So, the GOFU, in a general term, my friends, is make sure you know your jurisdictions laws and do not inadvertently violate them because you are in another jurisdiction, and you are coming into this other jurisdiction, this is where the trouble can begin. It can be quite serious. So, be very cognizant of this when dealing with guns. Evan Nappen 42:40 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein's cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn't perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren't isolated mistakes—they're classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn't just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)

While awaiting trial, Ghislaine Maxwell drew controversy for invoking COVID-19 quarantine protocols as a means of avoiding in-person legal proceedings. Her legal team argued that pandemic restrictions and her mandated quarantine in detention made it unsafe or impossible for her to participate fully in scheduled hearings and depositions. They maintained that the isolation, combined with already harsh conditions in jail, created unreasonable burdens on her ability to prepare her defense. However, prosecutors and critics alike viewed these claims with skepticism, suggesting that Maxwell was using the global health crisis as yet another stalling tactic to delay accountability.Observers noted that Maxwell's reliance on COVID-19 restrictions fit a familiar pattern: leveraging circumstances outside her immediate control to limit exposure to questioning or postpone critical steps in her case. At a time when courts across the country were adapting through remote technology, many saw her arguments as less about health risks and more about strategic obstruction. This fueled the perception that Maxwell was hiding behind the pandemic to avoid the legal spotlight, reinforcing her reputation for evasiveness and manipulation while leaving survivors and the public frustrated with yet another delay in the pursuit of justice.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/23/ghislaine-maxwell-quarantined-after-possible-coronavirus-exposure.html

Sarah Kellen Vickers was not some passive assistant caught in Epstein's orbit—she was an active gatekeeper, recruiter, and facilitator of abuse who operated with chilling precision inside his trafficking operation. For years, survivors named her as the woman who scheduled their “appointments,” prepped them for Epstein's assaults, and even instructed them on how to please him. She flew on Epstein's jet, lived in his homes, and was present during acts of abuse, yet somehow managed to avoid indictment while others, like Ghislaine Maxwell, were prosecuted. The fact that she was granted immunity in the original 2008 Florida plea deal—not because she was a whistleblower or minor participant, but because she was part of the machinery—exposes the DOJ's deep complicity in shielding enablers of powerful men. She wasn't just near the crime—she was essential to it.Now, with the DOJ officially closing the Epstein investigation, Sarah Kellen Vickers walks away without ever facing the kind of public reckoning or criminal penalty that survivors were promised. She gets to live out the rest of her life in comfort and anonymity, while the women and girls she helped traffic are left to rebuild from the trauma she helped inflict. This is what justice has become: a theater where only the most high-profile figures are sacrificed while the rest of the network fades quietly into the background, untouched and unaccountable. The survivors will carry these scars forever, but the woman who booked the flights, opened the doors, and ensured the abuse machine ran smoothly? She gets to vanish into suburbia, her name forgotten by a public too exhausted to care. That is not justice—it is abandonment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffery Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal 'truth' of the pedophile client list, say insiders.

In The Spider, Barry Levine portrays Ghislaine Maxwell as far more than Epstein's social companion — he frames her as the indispensable architect of his operation. According to Levine, she was the “glamorous front” who leveraged her elite British pedigree and high-society connections to normalize Epstein in circles of wealth and power. He argues Maxwell actively recruited young women, groomed them, and managed logistics that made Epstein's predation function like a system. In his telling, her role wasn't passive or peripheral; it was managerial and deliberate, making her a co-conspirator rather than a bystander.Levine also emphasizes how Maxwell operated as a bridge between Epstein and institutions of influence. He highlights how she cultivated access to royalty, billionaires, and academics, which insulated Epstein with legitimacy while expanding his reach. Levine makes the case that Maxwell was “the spider at the center of the web” just as much as Epstein himself — an enabler who understood the power structures she was exploiting and weaponized her connections to secure cover for their crimes. The book presents her not only as Epstein's partner in crime but as the key figure who transformed his abuse into a scalable empire.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.newsweek.com/ghislaine-jeffery-biography-1545135

JP Morgan, the United States Virgin Islands and Jes Staley have been engaged in a battle royale in a courtroom in New York for months now and with the trial less than a month away, things are still cooking at a high degree.According to a new filing by Jes Staley that hit the docket and then was quickly removed, JP Morgan has already spent more than 14 million dollars in legal fees. They are looking to roll that number into the larger number that they say Staley is responsible for and JP Morgan hopes that any ruling made against them, will end up being a burden that Staley has to deal with.Staley, for his part has said that anything he did with Epstein was all part of the job and that if anyone is responsible for missing the fact that Epstein was a human trafficking monster, it was JP Morgan.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan legal fees in Jeffrey Epstein sex traffick cases revealed (cnbc.com)

Newly surfaced documents and reporting are fueling questions about whether a small network of powerful players including Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and individuals linked to Robert Maxwell's scientific publishing legacy sought outsized influence over how research is distributed and amplified. Emails, investments, and media-funding ties are being cited as potential indicators of an effort to shape which scientific ideas rise to prominence and which get sidelined. The broader issue: who controls the pipelines of modern science—publishing, PR, and perception—and what transparency is owed to the public when power concentrates behind the scenes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Send a textGUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, president, Liberty Sentinel MediaFor a man who was a convicted sex offender and shady financier, Jeffrey Epstein sure had tight connections with many of the world's rich, famous, and powerful, like former president Bill Clinton, billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and the King of England's brother, Prince Andrew, to name just a few.Jeffrey Epstein is most known for owning Little Saint James, a small private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands directly to the east of Puerto Rico, to which he would fly in rich and powerful men to engage in sexual immorality with underage women. Now through the recent release of the immense Epstein files, the world is finding out that the iniquity taking place there and other places owned by Epstein was unspeakably depraved.But there's far more to this sordid affair than egregious sexual sin that pulls back the curtain on the world's elite and their mission for mankind.Columnist Andrew Muller writes, “The files confirm that Jeffrey Epstein was far more than a playboy blackmailer. He did traffic underage children; he lured politicians, businessmen, and academics to his island to commit debauchery; he did possess leverage on elites. But he was also at the heart of the Insider's operation in a big way, serving as an advisor, confidant, networker, and consultant for outfits that exist to destroy Americanism and usher in a global gulag.”Did you know that Epstein was on the globalist Trilateral Commission, closely associated with the Rothschild banking family, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and some of the top institutions of higher education, and was on the front lines of transhumanism, genetic engineering, and eugenics? In short, Epstein was connected to the Deep State cabal that seeks to rule and enslave the world in rebellion against God.One might think that with Jeffrey Epstein's death in a New York jail cell in 2019 that his dastardly life and legacy would fade from memory. But the opposite is happening— calls for transparency and justice are growing.Alex Newman, author and award-winning international journalist and founder of Liberty Sentinel Media, joins us to explain why the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is about far more than salacious secrets on a Caribbean island and what Christians need to know.---------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Alex is president of Liberty Sentinel Media and host of the podcast Conversations That MatterAlex is a foreign correspondent and senior editor for The New American

Leaked correspondence between Jes Staley—former CEO of Barclays and long-time JPMorgan executive—and Jeffrey Epstein laid bare more than just casual business exchanges; they revealed a troubling bond rooted in intimacy, trust, and privilege. In one exchange, Staley mused, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” to which Epstein replied, “What character would you like next?” Staley coyly responded, “Beauty and the Beast,” turning their relationship into a grotesque pantomime. More damningly, Staley described Epstein as “family” and spoke of a “profound” connection, while photos of young women were also swapped—all under the guise of everyday correspondence. Far from distancing himself, Staley sustained contact well past Epstein's 2008 conviction, even joining him on his private island in 2009—behavior that defied any claim of a “purely professional” relationship.The fallout was swift—and deserved. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that Staley “recklessly misled” both Barclays and regulators by downplaying the closeness of his ties with Epstein. A £1.8 million fine (later reduced to £1.1 million) and a lifetime ban from senior financial roles followed. The Upper Tribunal upheld the sanctions, emphasizing that Staley knowingly took a calculated risk, hoping the truth would stay buried. But the emails, held up like digital incriminators, ensured his downfall. His denials, evasive demeanor in court, and attempt to frame the relationship as innocuous only magnified the breach of trust. In financial leadership, reputation is everything—and Staley burned his.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein-Staley Emails Reveal Friendship Forged at JPMorgan (yahoo.com)

Adriana Ross was one of Jeffrey Epstein's key assistants, part of the so-called “inner circle” of women who helped manage his trafficking operation. A former model from Poland, Ross became deeply embedded in Epstein's day-to-day activities, reportedly handling logistics for his properties, coordinating travel, and preparing rooms at his Palm Beach estate before and after victim encounters. She was also known to have removed computers from Epstein's Florida home ahead of a 2005 police raid, suggesting a clear role in obstructing justice and covering Epstein's tracks.Despite her close involvement and the fact that she was repeatedly named in legal documents, Ross has never been criminally charged. She invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned under oath and has remained largely out of the public spotlight since. Her ability to disappear into private life while survivors continue to suffer underscores the broader failure of the justice system, which allowed Epstein's most loyal facilitators to slip through the cracks. Ross wasn't a bystander—she was an active participant in the machinery of exploitation. And like the rest of Epstein's inner circle, she was protected by a system that preferred silence over accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein 'scheduler' Adriana Ross dodges questions about his sick past while fleeing Florida church | Daily Mail Online

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee as part of its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his network of associates. Lawmakers questioned her about what she knew regarding Epstein's activities, his connections to prominent political and philanthropic circles, and whether she had any direct knowledge of his conduct or access to his properties. Clinton stated under oath that she never met Epstein in person, never visited his residences, and had no involvement in or awareness of his criminal behavior during the period in question. The deposition focused in part on her husband's documented interactions with Epstein, including travel and social contact, and whether she had been aware of those connections at the time.The session took place amid heightened political scrutiny following the release of Epstein-related documents under federal transparency measures. Committee members sought to clarify the extent of the Clintons' association with Epstein and to address public concerns about accountability and oversight involving powerful figures. Clinton denied wrongdoing and characterized the inquiry as politically motivated, while lawmakers indicated the transcript and video of the deposition would be released publicly. The testimony marked a rare instance of a former secretary of state providing sworn congressional testimony tied to a high-profile criminal investigation with continuing political and legal ramifications.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Hillary Clinton testifies in House Epstein investigation | AP News

Recently released federal documents revealed that Jeffrey Epstein had been the subject of a previously undisclosed Drug Enforcement Administration investigation beginning in 2010 that examined potential drug trafficking and prostitution-related financial activity tied to the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York. The 69-page memo, heavily redacted and marked “law enforcement sensitive,” identified Epstein and more than a dozen others as targets within an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces probe that reportedly remained active for years. Despite the scope suggested by the document, no drug trafficking charges were ever brought, prompting Sen. Ron Wyden to demand fuller disclosure and an explanation of why the investigation did not result in prosecutions.Separately, documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act included a photograph of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick standing with Epstein on Little St. James, Epstein's private Caribbean island. The image was initially made public within the Justice Department's online archive before being temporarily removed and later restored, raising questions about how Epstein-related records are curated and reviewed. The brief removal triggered bipartisan calls for clarification, with critics questioning the explanation that the image had been flagged under standard review procedures. Together, the disclosures added to broader concerns about transparency, oversight, and the handling of evidence connected to Epstein's network and associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation - CBS NewsPhoto of Lutnick on Epstein's island removed from Justice Department files now restored - CBS News

Michael Thomas was a veteran correctional officer employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan — a federal detention facility — where Jeffrey Epstein was being held in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Thomas had been with the Bureau of Prisons since about 2007 and, on the night of Epstein's death (August 9–10, 2019), was assigned to an overnight shift alongside another officer, Tova Noel, responsible for conducting required 30-minute inmate checks and institutional counts in the SHU. Because Epstein's cellmate had been moved and not replaced, Epstein was alone in his cell, making regular monitoring all the more crucial under bureau policy.Thomas became a focal figure in the official investigations into Epstein's death because surveillance footage and institutional records showed that neither he nor Noel conducted the required rounds or counts through the night before Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell early on August 10. Prosecutors subsequently charged both officers with conspiracy and falsifying records for signing count slips that falsely indicated they had completed rounds they had not performed. Thomas and Noel later entered deferred prosecution agreements in which they admitted falsifying records and avoided prison time, instead receiving supervisory release and community service. Investigators concluded that chronic staffing shortages and procedural failures at the jail contributed to the circumstances that allowed Epstein to remain unmonitored for hours before his death, which was officially ruled a suicide by hanging.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00113577.pdf

Maria Farmer, one of the earliest known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, has alleged that Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell sexually abused her when she was in her late teens in the mid-1990s. Farmer has stated that Epstein and Maxwell recruited her under the pretense of helping her artistic career, then coerced her into sexual encounters at Epstein's New York townhouse and Palm Beach mansion. She has also described being trafficked to other locations where Epstein's powerful friends were present and claims that attempts to report the abuse to authorities were ignored or dismissed, allowing the exploitation to continue. Farmer's testimony has been part of civil claims against Epstein's estate and documents made public through litigation have detailed her accounts of manipulation, isolation, and sexual assault.In addition to her personal abuse claims, Farmer has accused Epstein and Maxwell of operating a larger trafficking network in which vulnerable young women were groomed and exploited. She has provided sworn statements and affidavits asserting that Epstein maintained detailed records and materials related to the abuse, and that individuals in his circle were aware of, or complicit in, the exploitation. Farmer's allegations have contributed to a broader legal and public examination of Epstein's conduct, including claims against his estate by survivors seeking compensation and accountability for decades of alleged trafficking and sexual abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a class action lawsuit titled Jane Doe 1, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. was filed. The complaint represented not only Jane Doe 1, but a broader group of alleged victims who claimed they suffered harm tied to the actions—and alleged inaction—of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The filing formally demanded a jury trial, signaling the plaintiffs' intention to take the allegations into open court rather than resolve them quietly behind closed doors.The case was framed as both an individual and a class action complaint, raising the stakes considerably for the financial giant. By categorizing it this way, the plaintiffs positioned their claims as part of a larger systemic issue involving an entire group of alleged victims. The filing marked the beginning of what later became one of the most scrutinized legal battles connected to the Jeffrey Epstein network, setting the stage for intense public inquiry into the bank's role and potential liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 00513854.DOCX

While most federal inmates across the country were barred from in-person visits because of COVID restrictions, I learned that Ghislaine Maxwell was granted an exception inside the federal detention center in New York. Despite strict pandemic rules that kept families, attorneys, and even clergy away from prisoners, officials approved a personal visit for Maxwell, fueling accusations that she was receiving privileges unavailable to other inmates. Sources inside the facility described how the visit was conducted in a room separate from the general population and under unusual accommodation, reinforcing suspicions that she was being treated differently from everyone else inside the Metropolitan Detention Center.The decision outraged prisoners' families and advocates who had been campaigning for months to restore basic visitation rights, only to watch Maxwell receive access that others were denied. As her legal team continued to claim harsh and unfair treatment, the revelation that she had been given a rare private visit painted a starkly different picture of her conditions and raised deeper questions about preferential handling, institutional favoritism, and the degree of influence that still surrounds her name. For many observing from the outside, it was another reminder that the rules appear to bend when the defendant is wealthy, connected, and notorious enough.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Ghislaine Maxwell was placed in solitary confinement after giving a jailhouse interview without authorization while awaiting sentencing, according to reporting at the time. Federal prison officials said the interview violated Bureau of Prisons rules governing inmate communications with the media. As a result, Maxwell was moved to segregated housing, commonly referred to as solitary confinement, where inmates are typically isolated for most of the day and have limited contact with others. The disciplinary action followed her participation in the interview, which had been conducted by phone and later broadcast publicly.Her legal team criticized the decision, arguing that the punishment was excessive and punitive, particularly given the intense public scrutiny surrounding her case. They maintained that Maxwell had not posed a security threat and suggested that the move reflected the heightened sensitivity around her prosecution and conviction in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Prison authorities, however, defended the action as a routine enforcement of institutional rules, stating that all inmates are subject to the same restrictions regarding unauthorized media contact.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

One of the key figures in the rise of Jeffrey Epstein was Les Wexner. At one point in time they were so close that Jeffrey Epstein was advising and managing Wexner's financiallys exclusively. Yet Les Wexner is rarely brought up by the legacy media when discussing Jeffrey Epstein and his origins. In this episode, we take another look at the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Les Wexner and how there longstanding partnership should recieve more scrutiny.

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. The official ruling by New York City's chief medical examiner classified the death as suicide by hanging. Federal investigations later cited a series of institutional failures inside the jail, including malfunctioning cameras, guards who failed to conduct required checks, and Epstein's removal from suicide watch shortly before his death. The Department of Justice's inspector general described the episode as a cascade of negligence and staffing breakdowns rather than evidence of a coordinated plot. Two correctional officers were charged with falsifying records related to required monitoring rounds, further reinforcing claims of systemic dysfunction within the facility.Despite the official suicide determination, persistent public skepticism has fueled debate over whether Epstein could have been murdered. Critics point to the extraordinary number of powerful individuals linked to him, the unusual security lapses on the night of his death, and inconsistencies in early reporting as reasons to doubt the conclusion. Some forensic experts hired by Epstein's brother have argued that certain injuries were more consistent with homicide, though those findings have not overturned the medical examiner's ruling. The controversy has become emblematic of broader distrust in institutions, with many people viewing the unanswered questions surrounding Epstein's death as symbolic of deeper failures in accountability and transparency.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A lawyer representing a woman who says she was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein has publicly stated that Prince Andrew should be “very concerned” about new allegations linked to Epstein's sex-trafficking network. The attorney, who has represented several Epstein survivors, pointed to court documents and depositions that describe the accuser's claims that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including the former prince, while she was underage. The lawyer urged Andrew to cooperate fully with authorities rather than continue to deny the accusations, suggesting that his past statements and resistance to submitting testimony have raised serious legal concerns.These remarks come amid broader scrutiny of Andrew's ties to Epstein and continuing legal pressure from survivors' attorneys. Although Andrew has consistently denied involvement in any illegal conduct and previously settled a civil lawsuit with one of Epstein's accusers without admitting guilt, the lawyer's comments underscore the ongoing tension between the former royal's public denials and the detailed allegations surfaced in litigation and public filings. The situation reflects the enduring fallout from Epstein's network and the continuing efforts by victims and their representatives to seek accountability from those they say were part of or enabled his abuses.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew could be held 'criminally liable for sex trafficking after introducing abuse victim to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell', lawyer claims | Daily Mail Online

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein's cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn't perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren't isolated mistakes—they're classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn't just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)

Jeffrey Epstein was more than just the wealthy financier with a knack for elite connections—his ascent was shadowed by serious financial fraud. In the late 1980s, he was hired as a consultant at Towers Financial Corporation, a company run by his mentor Steven Hoffenberg. That firm turned out to be one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history, defrauding investors of over $450 million. Hoffenberg later claimed Epstein was “intimately involved,” even calling him the “architect” and “mastermind” behind complex schemes and manipulations, despite Epstein escaping legal charges. Those stolen funds allegedly served as seed capital for Epstein's later financial ventures—his own hedge fund, foundations, and private empire. That's not rumor—it's his legacy in plain sight.What's worse, Epstein's role wasn't ancillary. Court documents and Hoffenberg's testimony paint Epstein as a central player who helped design and scale the scheme using his network. He may have walked free, but make no mistake: his wealth, influence, and the veneer of legitimacy he built were built on the bones of investor ruin. It wasn't clean money; it was stolen. And those shadowy beginnings illuminate the true cost of his rise—not just in dollars lost, but in the destruction of trust, victims, and the systems he exploited so ruthlessly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://radaronline.com/p/jeffrey-epstein-ponzi-scheme-money-book-dead-man-tell-no-tales/

Today's Headlines: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are set to testify before the House Oversight Committee today — with lawmakers traveling to their home in Chappaqua for the interviews. Meanwhile, after reporting revealed the DOJ appears to have withheld Epstein documents referencing past allegations involving Donald Trump, the Justice Department now says it's “looking into” whether anything was improperly held back.  Adding to the Epstein pile, The Telegraph reports a previously overlooked Jeffrey Epstein storage unit packed with computers, VHS tapes, address books, and alleged “training manuals.” Authorities reportedly missed it during earlier searches. Consequences, however, remain selective. A former Harvard president resigned his remaining university roles and an OpenAI board seat amid Epstein scrutiny. Bill Gates, at a Gates Foundation town hall, acknowledged past affairs that Epstein later became aware of but said he “did nothing illicit” and saw nothing illicit. At the FBI, Director Kash Patel reportedly fired at least 10 agents tied to the Jack Smith classified documents investigation after learning subpoenas had included his own communications and those of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. In other news, Trump's surgeon general nominee, wellness influencer Casey Means, declined at her confirmation hearing to firmly reject a link between vaccines and autism and would not explicitly urge Americans to get vaccinated. “Science is never settled,” she said.

Discovery, potentially complicating Netflix's existing deal. And in quieter political news, Democrats flipped or held three state House special elections — one in Maine and two in Pennsylvania — expanding their Pennsylvania majority to 102–98, with one race outperforming 2024 margins by 34 points.
