Podcasts about Epstein

Let's talk about Trump vs MTG_ Epstein edition....

An alleged page of Epstein's 50th birthday book is leaked, featuring a drawing of what looks like the outline of a woman's torso. No head, just the curves of a neck, shoulders, no arms and ‘u' shaped drawings for the breasts. Within the outlined silhouette is a badly written poem and it's signed at the very bottom, ‘Donald J. Trump' in thick black ink. His scribbled signature seemingly positioned as the pubic hair of the woman's silhouette.   Trump sues the Wall Street Journal for distributing this alleged letter for $10B and posts on ‘truth social' that it's completely fake. Despite this denial, a clip of Epstein's deposition begins to circulate alongside the poem. Epstein is sitting on a leather armchair, fully leaned to one side, arm propped on the chair, his head resting in his hand. He is asked, “Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?” Epstein answers, “What do you mean by personal relationship?” “Have you socialized with him?” “Yes sir.” “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?” Epstein replies, “Though I'd like to answer that question at least today, I'm going to have to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment right sir.” The 5th Amendment permits someone to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. The man's name mentioned in Epstein's deposition? The current president of the United States.   How many of the world's most elite and powerful people are connected to serial sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein??   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rina also shares about her journey of healing and renewal as a survivor and artist. Also: The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of the release of the Epstein files. 

This week on the What Are We Doing podcast, I hit record after missing a week and walk straight into chaos. Holidays, weddings, jet setting, whatever. We made it. Episode 215 is here whether the world is ready or not. I start the show by giving thanks to the only man who deserves it, Joe Exotic, and hoping he gets that presidential pardon he keeps talking about. After that, the madness ramps up fast.Soulja Boy is back with another tech empire that exists only in his mind. He is now saying someone offered him one hundred million for a handheld emulator that screams AliExpress from a mile away. He also says it has sixty four gigs of RAM. It does not.

It makes more sense than whatever Epstein was doing.Kate Beckinsale shows up on Jimmy Kimmel with a story about her daughter's boyfriend laying eggs. Jimmy eats it up. I try to figure out if this is proof Hollywood has fully melted or if Kate got bamboozled by the easiest prank in world history.We talk about raccoons breaking into liquor stores, getting blackout drunk, and passing out in the bathroom. I also explain that humans are accidentally domesticating raccoons because we keep telling them they are cute.

That look was elite.Joe Rogan enters the chat. He is sponsored by Perplexity now. He cannot go a single conversation without Jamie or AI saving him from Facebook misinformation.

Congress obtaining Jeffrey Epstein's banking records marks one of the most significant breakthroughs in the long-delayed financial side of the investigation. After years of stonewalling, federal agencies and major banks have finally begun turning over detailed transaction histories tied to Epstein's accounts, including those held at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. Lawmakers say these records contain years of wire transfers, shell-company activity, large unexplained cash movements, and internal communications about Epstein's status as a client. For the first time, congressional investigators will be able to trace how Epstein moved money, who benefited from those movements, and which institutions looked the other way while red flags piled up.The release of these records also signals a broader shift toward transparency after Congress passed legislation compelling agencies to hand over previously sealed material connected to Epstein and his network. Members of the oversight committees have stated that these financial disclosures could answer long-standing questions about who financially enabled Epstein, who may have participated in or profited from his criminal enterprises, and whether federal regulators failed to act despite knowing the gravity of the allegations. With Congress now in possession of the banking paperwork Epstein fought for decades to keep in the dark, the investigation is expected to accelerate — and the list of individuals and institutions with potential exposure is likely to grow, not shrink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers obtain Epstein banking records, release photos of his private island compound - CBS News

In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn't just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner's personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can't reconcile the numbers. These weren't casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.But none of Epstein's financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank's compliance failures weren't accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner's access, Black's money, and JPMorgan's infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein's financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn't just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Dan Bongino has built an entire persona on being the tough-talking, truth-sniffing, deep-state-busting warrior who's supposedly unafraid to charge into the darkest corners of American corruption. Yet when the Epstein files finally landed on his desk—after years of him teasing their explosive contents and promising that he, unlike all the cowards in the room, would expose everything—he folded faster than a cheap suit at a clearance sale. Instead of the crusader he advertised, we got a man suddenly terrified of his own shadow, suddenly deferential to “protocol,” suddenly convinced that nothing in Epstein's orbit pointed to trafficking networks, financial malfeasance, or co-conspirators. His audience was expecting the pit bull he portrays on air; what they got was a Shih Tzu hiding behind government talking points. And that's the hypocrisy that burns brightest: the guy who built his brand screaming about elite protection rackets turned into the loudest voice assuring everyone that Epstein was just a “lone pervert,” as if the photos, the lawsuits, the settlements, the flight logs, the financial ties, and the emails simply evaporated.Worse, Bongino's silence isn't the silence of someone who doesn't know—it's the silence of someone who does. A former Secret Service agent and self-styled insider absolutely understands the magnitude of a case involving international trafficking, intelligence links, financial networks, and political entanglements. He knows that the official narrative is a thin, flimsy shield covering a mountain of rot, yet he has chosen to pretend the mountain doesn't exist because acknowledging it would force him to confront the very institutions and figures he's built his career defending. That's the real betrayal here: not just to the public, but to the survivors whose stories he casually sidelines. Dan Bongino didn't just fail to expose the Epstein network—he became part of the insulation around it, an amplifier of the same dismissive messaging the powerful rely on when their secrets get a little too close to daylight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As a California congressman, Adam Schiff was the lead manager during the first impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. He later served on the January 6th committee. Trump has castigated him as “Shifty Schiff” and demanded that the Justice Department investigate him. In a conversation with David Remnick, Schiff discusses the current inquiry into his mortgage by federal authorities; the Supreme Court's primary role in enabling this Administration; and why he thinks the rule of law in America is “hanging by a thread.” Unlike some Democrats, Schiff is not sanguine that the release of the Epstein files will damage Trump politically. “If there are ruinous things in the files . . . Bondi and company will make sure they never reach the public eye,” Schiff says. But also, “I think he's almost impervious to dirt.”New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

In an obvious attempt to distract from any number of dumpster fires going on in the Trump administration - the Epstein files, the murderous Venezuelan boat strikes, or maybe just his inability to stay awake during his own cabinet meetings - Donald Trump posted to social media that he will be terminating all pardons and commutations issued by Joe Biden in the event he used an autopen to sign them. Trump is forever exposing himself as not knowing what he's talking about, not to mention being supremely unfit for office, because a president of the United States has no lawful authority to revoke a pardon or commutation issued by a prior president. Glenn sat down with law professor and constitutional scholar Kim Whaley to discuss this topic.Kim has authored a wonderful, authoritative book on the pardon power titled (appropriately), "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why."Find Kim on Substack: kimwehle.substack.comTo purchase Pardon Power: https://kimberlywehle.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Will Epstein is a composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Woodstock NY. His newest release, Yeah, mostly (out January 9th via Fat Possum Records) takes a turn from his avant-guard and soundscape tendencies and very comfortably settles into a more traditional form of song writing and direct lyricism, but retains the sonic intrigue of his earlier work. Will shares his experience of growing up in an artistic atmosphere in NYC, how that shaped his expression over the years and how he found himself playing saxophone for a member of the Velvet Underground as a youngster. Will tells us why Yeah, mostly has helped him find his lyrical language, how the recording process freed him up creatively and why he thinks more direct and literal lyrics can bring the listener into reality in a psychedelic way. Joe and Will discuss the fruitfulness of the “song a day” exercise, their love for costume dramas and how Will heard John Coltrane in Animal Collective. Will tells us why laughter can be an indication of his best work and we hear some new tunes.

Donald Trump has long attempted to minimize his association with Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing their ties as insignificant and framing himself as a political outsider willing to take on entrenched power networks. Yet the historical record complicates that narrative. Epstein moved comfortably within Trump's social orbit for years, appearing at his clubs, parties, and alongside individuals who later scrambled to deny their proximity. Even after Epstein's 2008 conviction, he remained close enough to the Trump-Kushner circle that he was reportedly invited to a 2013 family-associated event—an invitation Kushner's team now denies despite its documented existence. As more flight logs, guest lists, photographs, and emails surface, Trump's reflexive insistence that he “barely knew” Epstein becomes increasingly untenable. His more recent claim that Epstein's criminal enterprise was a “hoax” collapses under the weight of actual victims, sworn testimony, financial settlements, and years of verified documentation.The emerging picture is not merely politically inconvenient for Trump; it poses a direct threat to the persona he has spent a decade constructing. The Epstein files risk exposing him not as a crusader against corruption, but as someone who existed within the same elite ecosystem that enabled Epstein for decades. This potential reframing—rooted in evidence rather than speculation—explains Trump's escalating defensiveness as new material comes to light. For a public figure who built his brand on fearlessness and disruption, the Epstein scandal represents the one narrative he cannot control, dismiss, or bully into silence. Its power lies in its documentation, not its rhetoric. And if the remaining sealed material confirms what the circumstantial record already suggests, the greatest damage to Trump will not come from his political adversaries, but from the truth he hoped would remain buried.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

Ghislaine Maxwell's latest habeas corpus petition appears less a genuine attempt to overturn her conviction than a strategic maneuver aimed at slowing the release of potentially damaging records tied to the broader Epstein network. Legal experts note that Maxwell, who has long understood the improbability of securing her freedom, stands to benefit not from exoneration but from procedural delays that could obstruct transparency efforts. By filing an appeal that is unlikely to succeed, Maxwell triggers a pause in disclosures and creates additional hurdles for investigators, effectively buying time for the political figures and institutions whose interests intersect with her own. The move aligns with a longstanding pattern in which Maxwell leverages the legal system not to challenge evidence, but to strategically obscure it.Observers argue that these delays also serve the Trump administration, which has faced scrutiny over its handling of issues related to Epstein and Maxwell. By benefiting from slowed document releases and postponed court actions, the administration avoids renewed public attention on past associations, photos, and communications that have fueled political controversy. While officials publicly distance themselves from Maxwell, the timing of her legal filings has repeatedly coincided with periods in which transparency efforts intensified, prompting accusations that her appeals function as informal buffers for those who stand to be implicated by unsealed records. Together, Maxwell's procedural maneuvers and the administration's apparent reliance on these delays have raised concerns of a broader effort to manage fallout rather than confront the full extent of the Epstein-Maxwell network's influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

James Comer reacted to the latest batch of images and videos released by House Democrats by dismissing their significance and accusing his political opponents of engaging in theatrics rather than accountability. In his public remarks, Comer framed the release as a distraction, suggesting Democrats were attempting to score political points instead of focusing on what he described as “real” investigative priorities. His tone struck many observers as evasive, given the gravity and public interest surrounding the material. Critics noted that Comer appeared far more concerned about the optics for his own party than the disturbing content contained in the images themselves.Comer's comments drew sharp backlash because they seemed to minimize the relevance of the newly surfaced material, which includes previously unseen photos from Epstein's properties. Rather than acknowledging the substance or addressing the public's questions, he pivoted toward partisan grievances and accused Democrats of weaponizing the issue. This approach was widely criticized as tone-deaf and defensive, especially at a time when lawmakers from both parties are under pressure to confront the full scope of Epstein's network. Comer's posture reinforced the perception that he is more focused on insulating allies and controlling narrative fallout than pursuing transparency.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Oversight Chairman James Comer rips Dems after Epstein Island photos release | Fox News

It's Friday, and tonight we're unpacking a massive week of news because the Epstein story just took another seismic turn. Earlier today, a Florida judge ordered the release of the Epstein grand jury transcripts, a stunning development that could reveal who knew what and who may have helped shield Epstein for years. This comes just days after the House Oversight Committee released a mountain of never-before-seen images and videos from Epstein's island, raising even more questions about why the full files still haven't been made public. We'll also break down the latest in Donald Trump's escalating war on birthright citizenship, as he pushes new attacks on constitutional rights in yet another attempt to reshape immigration policy through fear and legal overreach. And tonight, we're joined by friend of the show Francesca Fiorentini, who will help us make sense of the madness, the politics, and the fallout from a week that hasn't slowed down for a second.

In an obvious attempt to distract from any number of dumpster fires going on in the Trump administration - the Epstein files, the murderous Venezuelan boat strikes, or maybe just his inability to stay awake during his own cabinet meetings - Donald Trump posted to social media that he will be terminating all pardons and commutations issued by Joe Biden in the event he used an autopen to sign them. Trump is forever exposing himself as not knowing what he's talking about, not to mention being supremely unfit for office, because a president of the United States has no lawful authority to revoke a pardon or commutation issued by a prior president. Glenn sat down with law professor and constitutional scholar Kim Whaley to discuss this topic.Kim has authored a wonderful, authoritative book on the pardon power titled (appropriately), "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why."Find Kim on Substack: kimwehle.substack.comTo purchase Pardon Power: https://kimberlywehle.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dan Bongino has built an entire persona on being the tough-talking, truth-sniffing, deep-state-busting warrior who's supposedly unafraid to charge into the darkest corners of American corruption. Yet when the Epstein files finally landed on his desk—after years of him teasing their explosive contents and promising that he, unlike all the cowards in the room, would expose everything—he folded faster than a cheap suit at a clearance sale. Instead of the crusader he advertised, we got a man suddenly terrified of his own shadow, suddenly deferential to “protocol,” suddenly convinced that nothing in Epstein's orbit pointed to trafficking networks, financial malfeasance, or co-conspirators. His audience was expecting the pit bull he portrays on air; what they got was a Shih Tzu hiding behind government talking points. And that's the hypocrisy that burns brightest: the guy who built his brand screaming about elite protection rackets turned into the loudest voice assuring everyone that Epstein was just a “lone pervert,” as if the photos, the lawsuits, the settlements, the flight logs, the financial ties, and the emails simply evaporated.Worse, Bongino's silence isn't the silence of someone who doesn't know—it's the silence of someone who does. A former Secret Service agent and self-styled insider absolutely understands the magnitude of a case involving international trafficking, intelligence links, financial networks, and political entanglements. He knows that the official narrative is a thin, flimsy shield covering a mountain of rot, yet he has chosen to pretend the mountain doesn't exist because acknowledging it would force him to confront the very institutions and figures he's built his career defending. That's the real betrayal here: not just to the public, but to the survivors whose stories he casually sidelines. Dan Bongino didn't just fail to expose the Epstein network—he became part of the insulation around it, an amplifier of the same dismissive messaging the powerful rely on when their secrets get a little too close to daylight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal has exposed in brutal clarity the fact that the elite play by a completely different set of rules than ordinary people. Epstein and the powerful circle surrounding him — billionaires, politicians, executives, royalty, intelligence-connected figures — operated in a world where consequences simply didn't apply. While everyday people's lives are governed by strict accountability, surveillance, and rigid legal systems, Epstein's network existed in a realm of private islands, private jets, sealed court files, and protections purchased through money, influence, and institutional loyalty. Even after Epstein was first arrested in 2006, he received a secret sweetheart plea deal that was deliberately hidden from the victims themselves — something that would never even be imagined for a regular person. It wasn't justice; it was a privilege machine shielding the powerful from the rules everyone else is expected to follow.Even after his death, that dual system has remained plainly visible. Documents are released slowly or heavily redacted, names are shielded, grand juries remain sealed, and institutions scramble to protect reputations rather than tell the full truth. Meanwhile, the public watches as banks escape criminal charges with fines small enough to be considered a business expense, universities refuse to return Epstein-linked donations, and high-profile associates deny everything with straight faces despite overwhelming evidence. For ordinary people, accountability is immediate and merciless. For the elite, accountability is optional — managed by high-priced lawyers and PR teams until the outrage subsides. The Epstein saga is not just a crime story; it is a window into the two-tiered system that defines modern power: one law for the wealthy and connected, and another for everyone else.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell built an entire criminal enterprise on exploiting the most vulnerable — young girls who were isolated, struggling, or living through difficult circumstances that made them easy to manipulate. They preyed specifically on children from broken homes, low-income backgrounds, and unstable environments, knowing these girls did not have the resources, protection, or social standing to fight back. Under the guise of offering money, opportunities, mentorship, and supposed care, Epstein and Maxwell coerced and groomed them into a system of sexual abuse and trafficking. Maxwell played a central role in identifying victims, building trust, normalizing the abuse, and turning the girls into recruiters, expanding the pipeline of pain. Their method was calculated and predatory — they sought out those least able to say no, and they weaponized vulnerability itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The allegations that Prince Andrew participated in an Epstein-related orgy are among the most disturbing and consequential claims connected to the Epstein operation. Virginia Roberts Giuffre has stated consistently for years that she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and forced to participate in sexual encounters with powerful men — including Prince Andrew — at various locations that were central hubs in Epstein's network. One of the most serious accusations is that Andrew took part in an orgy on Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, surrounded by multiple underage girls. Giuffre has described this event in sworn legal filings, interviews, and public testimony, asserting that she was 17 years old at the time and that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell orchestrated the encounter.These claims have never wavered, and they are supported by overlapping pieces of circumstantial evidence — from flight logs placing Andrew in the same locations as Epstein and Giuffre, to photographs, to supporting statements from other accusers who have described similar scenes involving groups of trafficked minors being exploited on the island. Rather than engaging directly with the allegations, Prince Andrew has relied on blanket denials and public relations maneuvers, including his disastrous BBC interview where he insisted he had “no recollection” of ever meeting Giuffre while dodging every detailed question. The combination of Giuffre's consistent testimony, corroborating context from Epstein's victims, and the sheer specificity of her descriptions has left many observers convinced that the alleged orgy was not an outlandish claim — but a glimpse into the true depravity and scale of Epstein's trafficking machine, and the powerful men who believed they would never be held accountable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Congress obtaining Jeffrey Epstein's banking records marks one of the most significant breakthroughs in the long-delayed financial side of the investigation. After years of stonewalling, federal agencies and major banks have finally begun turning over detailed transaction histories tied to Epstein's accounts, including those held at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. Lawmakers say these records contain years of wire transfers, shell-company activity, large unexplained cash movements, and internal communications about Epstein's status as a client. For the first time, congressional investigators will be able to trace how Epstein moved money, who benefited from those movements, and which institutions looked the other way while red flags piled up.The release of these records also signals a broader shift toward transparency after Congress passed legislation compelling agencies to hand over previously sealed material connected to Epstein and his network. Members of the oversight committees have stated that these financial disclosures could answer long-standing questions about who financially enabled Epstein, who may have participated in or profited from his criminal enterprises, and whether federal regulators failed to act despite knowing the gravity of the allegations. With Congress now in possession of the banking paperwork Epstein fought for decades to keep in the dark, the investigation is expected to accelerate — and the list of individuals and institutions with potential exposure is likely to grow, not shrink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers obtain Epstein banking records, release photos of his private island compound - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Lownie argues that Prince Andrew's connection to Epstein was far deeper and longer-lasting than the prince has publicly admitted. According to Lownie, Andrew and his ex-wife met Epstein well before the date Andrew has claimed — their acquaintance likely began “almost a decade earlier” than his official story. Lownie claims Epstein exploited Andrew's youth and status: describing Andrew as “easy prey,” he says Epstein used the prince for legitimacy, access, and business opportunities, while allegedly leveraging damaging material to exert influence — potentially even passing sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies.Beyond personal betrayal and manipulation, Lownie frames the Epstein-Andrew relationship as emblematic of systemic failure and hypocrisy at the heart of the royal establishment. He calls Andrew “self-entitled” and argues the prince has long acted with impunity, placing himself above normal rules. Lownie says the revelations — including alleged financial dealings, ongoing contact despite public denials, and deeply troubling allegations of sexual exploitation — demand a “full investigation” and a broader reckoning about institutional accountability and privilege.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew, the former prince, not out of legal trouble yetBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn't just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner's personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can't reconcile the numbers. These weren't casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.But none of Epstein's financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank's compliance failures weren't accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner's access, Black's money, and JPMorgan's infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein's financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn't just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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.DOCXBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

According to reporting from former insiders at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and investigative journalists, Gates pursued a relationship with Epstein beginning around 2011 — not for friendship, but because Epstein claimed he could leverage his wide-reaching social network to help Gates secure a Nobel Peace Prize. Epstein allegedly told Gates's foundation staff that he could open doors to influential “Nobel influencers,” positioning himself as a back-channel fixer for elite favors. Their contacts reportedly culminated in a 2013 meeting in France with Thorbjørn Jagland, then-chair of the committee that awards the Nobel Peace Prize — a move widely interpreted as an attempt to put Gates in closer proximity to the Prize's decision-makers.Despite that outreach, the efforts appear to have failed. Gates has since publicly called his dealings with Epstein “a huge mistake,” saying in interviews that he first met Epstein hoping to raise philanthropic funds but that nothing materialized. The association, however, severely damaged Gates's reputation, helped catalyze his divorce from Melinda French Gates, and raised deep questions about how the super-wealthy may try to game institutions meant to reward genuine service and altruism rather than influence and social connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released more than 150 still images and over a dozen short videos of the Virgin Islands estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, on the same day that attorneys for Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell argued against the release of grand jury materials in her criminal case. One of downtown Fresno’s largest listed commercial spaces has sat empty for nearly five years, with no takers on the nearly 26,000 square feet of potential retail and office space a short walk from government buildings, hotels and downtown entertainment centers. Passersby might see the building, with its distinctive green and gold Club One Casino sign, and think it’s still an active gaming house. But listing photos show there isn’t much more than old carpeting left inside. Located at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Tulare Street, the building closed in 2020, when casino operations ceased because of COVID pandemic restrictions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Lownie joins Joanna Coles with a bracing account of a royal family in complete public meltdown. Lownie, an author and British historian, lays out why Prince Andrew's downfall is no longer a contained scandal but a widening corruption crisis—one that now stretches from sex-trafficking allegations to financial misconduct, secret meetings with Bahrain, and the Queen and Prince Philip's decades-long blind spot for their “favorite” son. As King Charles battles cancer and Prince William quietly takes the reins, Joanna presses Lownie on whether Andrew will flee Britain, what Sarah Ferguson might reveal, and whether this is the most perilous moment for the monarchy since the abdication.
