In its early days, the Jeffrey Epstein Victims' Compensation Fund was presented as a streamlined, independent mechanism designed to bypass the slow grind of civil litigation and get money into survivors' hands quickly. Administered by Jordana Feldman—who had previously worked on the 9/11 fund—the program was structured to allow claimants to come forward confidentially, submit evidence privately, and receive individualized offers based on the severity and duration of their abuse. The estate touted the fund as a gesture of accountability, emphasizing that survivors would not have to confront Epstein's enablers in court or relive their trauma in adversarial proceedings. Early reporting noted that dozens of women registered almost immediately, and the fund was inundated with initial inquiries, signaling how many victims had remained silent in the shadows of Epstein's power for years.But behind the polished presentation, the fund's formation showed cracks that raised concern among survivors and advocates. Early payouts were contingent on the estate's liquidity, and from the outset the executors—Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, both longtime Epstein insiders—warned that they might not have enough accessible cash to meet demand. This created immediate skepticism about whether the estate was truly committed to compensating victims or simply attempting to limit long-term legal exposure. Survivors questioned why the very people who helped run Epstein's financial empire were now controlling the purse from which reparations would flow. At the same time, the USVI government voiced concern that the fund's confidentiality provisions could shield key information about the scope of Epstein's trafficking network. In those early months, while some survivors viewed the fund as a path to long-overdue validation, others saw it as a controlled, estate-friendly structure that risked trading truth for expediency.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

What if everything we think we know about AI understanding is wrong? Is compression the key to intelligence? Or is there something more—a leap from memorization to true abstraction? In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with **Professor Yi Ma**—world-renowned expert in deep learning, IEEE/ACM Fellow, and author of the groundbreaking new book *Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions*.

Host Brian Walsh takes up ImpactAlpha's top stories with editor David Bank. Up this week: How the Sierra Club Foundation is leaning into system-level investing with its $200 million endowment; the 1803 Fund's ambitious plans to restore historically Black neighborhoods in Portland; and, how financial advisors can meet clients' demand for impact investing opportunities, and other takeaways from this week's Agents of Impact Call.Story links:“Sierra Club Foundation is dumping managers, innovating indexes and embracing ‘system-level' investing,” by David Bank and Roodgally Senatus.“In Portland, the 1803 Fund is rebuilding Black neighborhoods, zip code by zip code,” by Roodgally Senatus.Agents of Impact Call 75 recap and replay.

Denise George, then the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, publicly and forcefully criticized the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program, arguing that it functioned less as a vehicle for justice and more as a shield for Epstein's estate and potential co-conspirators. She warned that the fund was designed to resolve claims quickly and quietly, funneling survivors into private settlements in exchange for waiving future litigation rights. In George's view, this structure benefited the estate by limiting discovery, blocking depositions, and preventing deeper scrutiny into how Epstein operated for years in the USVI with apparent institutional failures and outside assistance.George further argued that the compensation fund undercut the territory's civil enforcement action by draining assets and closing off legal pathways that could expose enablers, financial facilitators, and government lapses. While she acknowledged that survivors deserved compensation, she maintained that speed and secrecy should not come at the expense of accountability or transparency. Her opposition placed her at odds with powerful interests tied to the estate and ultimately became part of a broader conflict that ended with her dismissal, reinforcing her claim that efforts to fully investigate Epstein's operation in the Virgin Islands were being systematically resisted rather than supported.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Following the untimely passing of firefighter Joe Crosse, a group of friends and colleagues has set up the Joe Crosse Benevolent Fund to support his family, particularly his children's future education. Inspired by the generosity of the community and guidance from Deirdre Foran — who faced a similar loss — the fund aims to provide long-term support for Joe's family, with donations invested to grow over time. So far, the initiative has received strong backing from local businesses, contractors, and individuals wishing to honour Joe's legacy of goodwill. On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke with Brian McMahon, firefighter based in Ennistymon fire station and was a friend and colleague of the late Joe Crosse and Deirdre Foran, who lost her late husband, Ollie due to a sudden death, almost 21 years ago.

I'm honored to speak with Steve and Diane Miller, the incredible couple behind the Misophonia Research Fund. When their daughter Rachel started being triggered by their voices and chewing about nine years ago, they didn't just try to cope, they redirected their entire family foundation to fund misophonia research. They've basically built the field from the ground up, now funding dozens of researchers worldwide working on everything from brain imaging to AI sound filtering. We talk about what it's really like accelerating medical research, their hopes for bringing young scientists into the field, why open data sharing matters so much, and how simply providing hope can be transformative for our community. These two have genuinely changed the trajectory of misophonia research, and it was such an honor to hear their story and vision for the future. -----Try the new Misophonia Podcast app: https://app.misophoniapodcast.comWeb: https://misophoniapodcast.comOrder "Sounds like Misophonia" - by Dr. Jane Gregory and IEmail: hello@misophoniapodcast.comSend me any feedback!

Gaza: Aid teams push to step up support as rain and cold take hold UN aid teams have been responding to torrential rains and cold in Gaza by focusing on helping the most vulnerable people in the wartorn enclave. Newborns and people living in areas prone to flooding are most at risk but efforts are underway to boost the number of winter clothing kits for children. Speaking from Al Mawasi in Gaza, Jonathan Cricx from the UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, described how overnight downpours had soaked the clothes and mattresses of many living in makeshift tents:  “Those children, they're really suffering not only from the rain, but as well from the cold temperature. It's 6°C or 7°C in the Gaza Strip...What we are doing with UNICEF is we're trying to bring a lot of winter clothes…We also brought shoes. We brought 8,000 tents. We brought 600,000 blankets. But all this is far from being enough because we have more than 1.5 million people here who are in dire need for humanitarian aid.” Residents have been given empty flour sacks to fill with sand to keep rising waters at bay, while it's estimated that more than 760 displacement sites hosting about 850,000 people face the highest risk of flooding. Around 200 families living on the Gaza shoreline in high-risk areas were also being helped on Thursday to relocate to “what remains of Hamad city in eastern Khan Younis”, according to the UN aid coordination office, OCHA. Gaza's humanitarian crisis continues, however, as humanitarians report that a key water pipeline is now damaged and out of service. Until last week, Bani Suhaila Mekorot channel supplied around 16,000 cubic metres of drinking water per day to Khan Younis. Fear and uncertainty in DR Congo amid heavy fighting  Renewed heavy fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has killed scores of civilians and uprooted communities who've fled in fear. UN aid coordinators OCHA has warned of “intense” clashes multiple territories, including Uvira, Walungu, Mwenga and Kalehe.  So far, more than 200,000 people have been displaced across South Kivu; most are sheltering in unsafe and overcrowded sites where the risk of disease is high. With more details, here's Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, speaking in New York on Wednesday: “The humanitarian impact of the crisis is now spilling across borders. Between December 5th and 8th, nearly 25,000 people crossed into Burundi, including Congolese nationals, Burundian returnees and third-country migrants – with additional arrivals also reported in Rwanda.”  The violence has disrupted aid assistance severely and forced the UN World Food Programme to suspend its activities across South Kivu. This has left 25,000 people without lifesaving food assistance, while host families share the last of their own reserves with displaced families, the agency said.  The UN's presence in DR Congo is limited; MONUSCO – the peacekeeping mission - is no longer deployed in South Kivu, while a Human Rights Council inquiry into serious abuses in the country has been left unstaffed because of dire funding shortfalls. Venezuela's national guard linked to serious abuses, rights investigators say To Venezuela, where investigators appointed by the Human Rights Council alleged on Thursday that the country's Bolivarian National Guard carried out a decade of systematic and serious violations, including crimes against humanity. In a new report, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela detailed evidence of what it called “systematic and coordinated repression”. According to the independent investigators, the national guard's actions appear to have been steered by a centralised command structure under President Nicolas Maduro.…

The ISPCC is honoured to announce that GroSafe, the technology-enabled safeguarding platform designed to combat child grooming through education, support and reporting, has received the Prize Award from Research Ireland's National Challenge Fund in the OurTech pillar. This acknowledgement of potential of GroSafe to have an incredible impact on the lives of so many children and young is extremely welcome and will enable the GroSafe team to make a true societal impact. By empowering children and caregivers through this platform, the GroSafe team aims to build societal resistance, reduce exploitation and foster a culture of safe and trusted disclosure. The project is led by TU Dublin's Dr Christina Thorpe and Dr Matt Bowden and ISPCC's Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Fiona Jennings, acts as Societal Impact Champion. The GroSafe project is one of six research teams across four challenge programmes under the National Challenge Fund, to receive part of €8 million in prize phase funding. Funded by the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Fund calls on researchers to identify problems related to Ireland's Digital Transformation and work directly with those most affected to solve them. Fiona Jennings, ISPCC Head of Policy and Public Affairs, said the project is specially focused on how children and young people are groomed into criminality or for sexual exploitation purposes."We are extremely grateful that the possibilities offered by GroSafe have been acknowledged by the Prize Award from Research Ireland's National Challenge Fund. "The GroSafe team has gone to great lengths to ensure that the voices of stakeholders were heard and that their needs and requirements were understood. In particular, I believe that the engagement with children is the perfect example of true participation in action. "The ISPCC wants to particularly acknowledge the steadfast vision, dedication and determination of the leadership provided by Dr Christina Thorpe and Dr Matt Bowden. They have ensured that the GroSafe potential for real societal change will be realised. "As Societal Impact Champion, I am increasingly convinced that the only way to meaningfully tackle child grooming is by working together cohesively and respectively. I also want to acknowledge the incredible input of Research Ireland. I have been hugely impressed by the design of the National Challenge Fund competition and the continuing support and mentoring offered by members of Research Ireland throughout the process."

Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges.

A case in which the Court will decide whether Section 47(b) of the Investment Company Act (ICA), 15 U.S.C. § 80a-46 (b), creates an implied private right of action.

The Secure Rural Schools act has provided crucial federal funding for rural schools and counties for 25 years. But for the past two years, funding has lapsed as efforts to renew the act failed and House Republicans omitted the program’s funding from federal spending in July. Now, that funding could be reinstated. On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act, which was approved by the Senate earlier this year. The bill now heads to the president to be signed and made into law. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a democrat representing southwest Washington, co-lead the push for this bill. She joins us to share more.

On Jesse's 11th "Ask Me Anything" episode, he unpacks four questions that sit at the center of real-life financial decision-making. He starts with a grounded look at the 15-year vs. 30-year mortgage debate, cutting through rules of thumb to show how interest rates, liquidity, cash-flow, and even your personal comfort with debt shape the right choice far more than blanket advice ever could. From there, he turns to the under-discussed strategy behind Health Savings Accounts—why the "invest and reimburse later" approach works, when it stops working, and how the tax bomb of leaving HSA dollars to non-spouse heirs should change how listeners think about funding and spending those accounts in their 50s and beyond. In a detailed case study, Jesse walks through a listener's complex 2026 tax year involving rental-property capital gains, ACA cliffs, Social Security timing, and potential Roth conversions, revealing how layered tax rules—income brackets, capital gains stacking, depreciation recapture, and NIIT—interact in ways that can either save or silently cost retirees thousands. And finally, he tackles whether a diehard DIY investor or Boglehead should ever hire a financial planner, drawing a sharp distinction between the "Uncle Franks" who truly live and breathe this stuff and the "Nicks" who love markets but miss the deeper planning work. With clarity, nuance, and practical wisdom, Jesse shows listeners not just what to do, but how to think through the tradeoffs that define good long-term planning. Key Takeaways: • A 15-year mortgage saves significant interest, but the higher monthly payments reduce cash-flow flexibility and increase default risk. • A 30-year mortgage often wins mathematically when investors "invest the difference," thanks to potentially higher long-term market returns versus fixed loan rates. • Choosing a mortgage term is partly a psychological decision, not just a financial optimization. • HSA dollars become a tax trap if left to non-spouse heirs, who must treat the entire balance as taxable income in the year of inheritance. • Selling a rental property triggers both capital gains and depreciation recapture, which can dramatically increase taxable income in that year. • DIY investors vary widely—some are true experts, while others know just enough to make avoidable mistakes.

Civil Procedure: Does §47(b) of the Investment Company Act create a private right of action? - Argued: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 15:54:12 EDT

FS Credit Opportunities Corp. v. Saba Capital Master Fund | 12/10/25 | Docket #: 24-345 24-345 FS CREDIT CORP. V. SABA CAPITAL MASTER FUND, LTD. DECISION BELOW: 2024 WL 3174971 CERT. GRANTED 6/30/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: The courts of appeals have split 2-1 over whether Congress created an implied private right of action in Section 47(b) of the Investment Company Act (ICA), which provides: (1) A contract that is made, or whose performance involves, a violation of this subchapter ... is unenforceable by either party .... (2) To the extent that a contract described in paragraph (1) has been performed, a court may not deny rescission at the instance of any party unless such court finds that under the circumstances the denial of rescission would produce a more equitable result than its grant and would not be inconsistent with the purposes of this subchapter. 15 U.S.C. § 80a-46(b)(1)-(2). The Third and Ninth Circuits, relying on statutory text and structure, hold that Section 47(b) does not create an implied private right of action, and a panel of the Fourth Circuit has agreed in an unpublished opinion. Only the Second Circuit-where plaintiffs may be able to sue most investment funds subject to the ICA, given New York's and the New York Stock Exchange's roles in financial operations- holds the opposite based on an "inference": parties may bring a lawsuit under Section 47(b), even though Congress never said so. The question presented is whether Section 47(b) of the ICA, 15 U.S.C. § 80a-46 (b), creates an implied private right of action. LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 23-8104, 24-79, 24-80, 24-82, 24-83, 24-116, 24-189

In this episode, you'll learn about a powerful alternative to restricted, project-based funding: enterprise capital for nonprofits. Guest Andrea Levere, founder and CEO of Capitalize Good, explains why nonprofits—like any enterprise—need multi-year, flexible capital that strengthens their balance sheets, builds reserves, and supports the people and systems that drive impact. Andrea breaks down the basic financial principles that determine nonprofit sustainability, and how enterprise capital enables organizations to innovate, hire essential staff, invest in technology, and create high-quality jobs. She also shares compelling examples—from affordable housing developers to workforce builders—showing how this kind of capital supports everything from salaries and benefits to new program development and strategic growth.Andrea and Rusty also dig into the relationship between talent-investing and enterprise capital, the pitfalls of scarcity-based philanthropy, and how funders can more effectively match their “sources of funds” to the actual needs of organizations. Andrea shares stories from Capitalize Good's partnerships with funders like the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation and the Citi Foundation's Community Progress Makers, as well as the emerging work in Arkansas to pilot enterprise capital approaches statewide. Listeners will come away with a clear understanding of how enterprise capital works, why it matters, and how both nonprofits and funders can adopt this transformative approach.Download an edited transcript of the episode in .PDF formatLinks to Resources:Gift to Listeners: 6 Months Free Subscription to FTP Podcast Premium on Patreon (up to 50 people).

"You don't need to fix all the cats to make a difference—you just need to fix the right ones, in the right places, at the right time." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In Part 1 of this two-part webinar, Bryan Kortis, National Programs Director for Neighborhood Cats, breaks down the power of targeted TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and why it's essential for managing community cat populations effectively. Hosted in partnership with the Community Cats Podcast, this episode dives deep into the theory behind concentrating resources in high-need areas and why traditional, scattered approaches often fall short. Using real-world case studies and expert insight, Bryan illustrates how geographic targeting, colony-level focus, and an understanding of carrying capacity and the vacuum effect can dramatically increase the impact of your spay/neuter efforts. You'll also discover how strategic targeting has successfully transformed neighborhoods from overrun to manageable, with results that include reduced shelter intake, lower euthanasia rates, and fewer cat complaints. If your organization has limited resources and big goals, this session is your roadmap to making the most of every dollar—and every surgery. Whether you're running a spay/neuter clinic, a grassroots rescue, or a municipal program, Bryan offers scalable advice that adapts to any community size. Learn how to prioritize, structure, and execute a targeted TNR program for maximum effect.
