Three years after Jeffrey Epstein's death inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the public was still left in the dark. The Department of Justice's Inspector General had yet to release a full report, and most of the internal findings remained sealed or redacted. The official story — suicide by hanging — was backed by the New York City Medical Examiner, but contradicted by independent forensic experts like Dr. Michael Baden, who found Epstein's neck injuries to be “more consistent with strangulation than hanging.” Meanwhile, crucial evidence went missing or malfunctioned: security cameras outside his cell failed, logs were falsified, and the two guards on duty admitted to sleeping and browsing the internet instead of checking on him. No clear timeline of his final hours has ever been publicly established. For a man under the government's watch in one of the most secure facilities in America, the lack of transparency was staggering — and it left even the most rational observers suspicious.By the third anniversary of his death, the unanswered questions had hardened into national cynicism. The phrase “Epstein didn't kill himself” became a cultural punchline, a shorthand for public mistrust of institutions. Federal officials insisted accountability had been taken — the guards were charged and later released after a plea deal, and the prison itself was slated for closure — yet the broader inquiry into systemic negligence vanished from public view. Victims received settlements, but no comprehensive investigation ever detailed who enabled Epstein's empire, who protected him, or what really happened inside that cell. The silence from the Justice Department only deepened the perception that some secrets were too big to expose.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The morning Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell, nearly every major jail protocol was broken. He was supposed to be checked every 30 minutes under suicide-watch procedures, yet the guards on duty failed to make their rounds for hours. His cellmate had been transferred out the night before and was never replaced, directly violating Bureau of Prisons policy that required Epstein to never be left alone. Both guards assigned to his unit were reportedly working extreme overtime shifts—one on their fifth consecutive day—and later admitted to falsifying log entries to make it look like they had conducted checks. Meanwhile, several of the security cameras near Epstein's cell were malfunctioning, leaving investigators without clear footage of the crucial time window when he died.When investigators arrived, they discovered the cell in complete disarray—evidence had been moved, and the body had already been removed before FBI agents could process the scene. Crime scene procedures weren't followed, key documentation was missing, and autopsy findings later added to the controversy surrounding his death. The Inspector General's report described a “cascade of failures,” from negligent oversight to ignored warnings, concluding that the Bureau of Prisons' incompetence created the perfect environment for Epstein's death to occur unchecked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's story isn't just about one predator—it's a brutal indictment of how the American justice system bends for the rich and breaks the poor. Despite years of credible accusations, dozens of underage victims, and a mountain of evidence, Epstein managed to evade real justice for decades. His 2008 Florida plea deal—engineered by powerful lawyers and signed off by then–U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta—gave him a sweetheart sentence that allowed him to leave jail six days a week on “work release.” The deal secretly immunized co-conspirators and denied victims the right to be heard, a direct violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. It was the ultimate display of privilege: a man who bought his freedom with money and influence while his victims were left to rot in silence. The system didn't fail by accident—it functioned exactly as it was designed to for people with Epstein's power.Even in death, the system continued its farce. Epstein's death inside a federal jail exposed staggering negligence—cameras malfunctioned, guards falsified logs, and evidence vanished. The Department of Justice's Inspector General confirmed “serious misconduct and negligence” but offered little accountability. No one higher up faced real consequences, and the network of enablers—financiers, lawyers, royals, and academics—walked away untouched. The courts offered settlements, not justice; hearings, not answers. Three years after his death, Epstein's case remains a mirror held up to a broken system—a system that shields the powerful, discards the vulnerable, and calls it due process.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Pentagon's Restrictive Media Policy Following Classified Information Breach. John Batchelor and Jeff McCausland discuss the perplexing new Pentagon policy that restricts information flow and excludes major media. This situation contrasts with the historic media access observed during events like the D-Day invasion in 1944. The current restrictive policy appears to stem from the "great Signal gate controversy" involving Mr. Hegseth. Hegseth transmitted highly classified information regarding an airstrike against Yemen, including details from correspondence with the Central Command commander, using an unclassified Signal transmission. He also inadvertently included the editor of the Atlantic in the chat. An Inspector General investigation into Hegseth's violation of classified information norms is pending. McCausland suggests this incident made the Secretary of Defense fearful, leading to this effort to isolate the American military from the public through media restrictions. 1944

"One notable exception, is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his or her own cases, but not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client, the conducts of lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the Presidency yesterday against the lawyer of Mr Nnamdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at a scene in Abuja, where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr Kanu;

The morning Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell, nearly every major jail protocol was broken. He was supposed to be checked every 30 minutes under suicide-watch procedures, yet the guards on duty failed to make their rounds for hours. His cellmate had been transferred out the night before and was never replaced, directly violating Bureau of Prisons policy that required Epstein to never be left alone. Both guards assigned to his unit were reportedly working extreme overtime shifts—one on their fifth consecutive day—and later admitted to falsifying log entries to make it look like they had conducted checks. Meanwhile, several of the security cameras near Epstein's cell were malfunctioning, leaving investigators without clear footage of the crucial time window when he died.When investigators arrived, they discovered the cell in complete disarray—evidence had been moved, and the body had already been removed before FBI agents could process the scene. Crime scene procedures weren't followed, key documentation was missing, and autopsy findings later added to the controversy surrounding his death. The Inspector General's report described a “cascade of failures,” from negligent oversight to ignored warnings, concluding that the Bureau of Prisons' incompetence created the perfect environment for Epstein's death to occur unchecked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to political journalist Pieter du Toit about the growing storm in South Africa’s intelligence community. President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Imtiaz Fazel, the Inspector-General of Intelligence — the very official tasked with keeping the country’s spy agencies in check. This dramatic move follows explosive revelations that Crime Intelligence bosses allegedly blew R227 million on luxury hotels, even as core policing budgets face cuts. For many, it’s an uncomfortable echo of the Richard Mdluli era — a time defined by slush funds, political cover-ups, and shadowy deals. So, is this a bold step towards restoring accountability within intelligence structures, or is it a calculated attempt to sideline someone who may have uncovered too much? Pieter du Toit joins us to unpack the deeper implications. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Corruption defines both the perception and reality of government, eroding trust and even threatening national security. Today, the safeguards meant to keep our government accountable are failing.

In the days leading up to her sentencing in June 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Her attorneys said the move was sudden, imposed without psychological evaluation, and severely restricted her ability to prepare for sentencing. She was reportedly stripped of her clothes, denied access to her legal papers, and given only a heavy “suicide smock” to wear. The placement also meant she was isolated from other inmates and prevented from communicating freely with her lawyers, prompting her legal team to argue that the conditions violated her right to participate in her own defense. They requested a delay in her sentencing, calling the Bureau of Prisons' actions “inhumane” and “retaliatory.”Prosecutors and prison officials defended the decision, citing Maxwell's complaints to the Inspector General about threats from staff and other inmates, and suggesting her notoriety as a convicted sex offender heightened her risk of self-harm. A prison psychologist later determined she was not suicidal, but the watch remained in place until administrators deemed her stable. Her defense motion to postpone sentencing was ultimately denied, and the hearing proceeded as scheduled. The episode added another layer of controversy to an already scrutinized case, highlighting lingering distrust toward the Bureau of Prisons in the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death under similar conditions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe story we were handed about January 6 sounded complete—until the paperwork started talking. We unpack a newly surfaced FBI after-action report, why it arrived on Capitol Hill years late, and what rank-and-file agents say about a lopsided response compared with the 2020 summer riots. Along the way, we examine the operational oddities—274 plain-clothes agents deployed with firearms for “crowd control” after violence began—and ask the basic questions any competent oversight body should: who gave the orders, what doctrine guided them, and where is the full timeline that ties intelligence, deployments, and decisions together.We walk through how the “insurrection” label took hold in real time, amplified by politicians and corporate leaders before investigations matured. Early reporting from Julie Kelly challenged that immediate framing, emphasizing evidence gaps and procedural inconsistencies. Whether you agree with her or not, the sequence matters: labels shape prosecutions, media coverage, and public memory. If the official narrative is sound, it will withstand scrutiny. If it isn't, the record must be corrected with the same volume used to set it.We also press into the unresolved pieces: disputed details around alleged pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC, the mechanics of Guard requests and refusals, and why parts of the FBI's internal critique never appeared in Inspector General summaries. Transparency is the path forward—release synchronized timelines, redacted EOD reports, deployment orders, and communications logs. Accountability is not about scoring points; it's about improving doctrine so future mass gatherings are policed with clarity, restraint, and public trust.Key Points from the Episode:• internal FBI after-action report surfacing years later• agents' claims of unequal responses in 2020 and Jan 6• 274 plain-clothes FBI agents and crowd control questions• the rapid spread of the “insurrection” framing• Julie Kelly's early reporting and evidentiary gaps• outstanding questions on Guard requests and leadership decisions• pipe bomb timeline, forensics, and public perception• accountability, transparency, and reforms for future incidentsBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Just the news article Want to leave a review?

​In the days leading up to his death, Jeffrey Epstein exhibited a complex and seemingly contradictory state of mind. Despite facing serious charges and the prospect of a prolonged prison sentence, Epstein reportedly denied having suicidal thoughts and appeared confident about his situation. He described his life as "wonderful" and expressed no intention of self-harm, even while under suicide watch.   So, how did he end up dead?Following Jeffrey Epstein's highly suspicious death in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr became the subject of intense scrutiny, with many alleging he played a role in a cover-up to protect powerful individuals linked to Epstein. As the head of the Justice Department, Barr oversaw the Bureau of Prisons, which was responsible for Epstein's detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Critics questioned how such a high-profile inmate, who had reportedly been on suicide watch just days prior, was able to die under such dubious circumstances, including the alleged malfunctioning of security cameras and the guards' failure to conduct routine checks. The rapid declaration of suicide as the official cause of death, despite forensic inconsistencies such as Epstein's hyoid bone fracture—a common indicator of strangulation—led to widespread skepticism. Given Barr's history, including his father's connection to Epstein through hiring him at the Dalton School, and his prior role in minimizing scrutiny over elite figures, suspicions grew that his Justice Department deliberately mishandled the investigation to suppress damaging revelations.In response to these allegations, Barr publicly condemned the failures at MCC, calling them a “perfect storm of screw-ups” rather than an orchestrated cover-up. He ordered internal investigations by the FBI and the Justice Department's Inspector General, which ultimately upheld the suicide ruling. However, many found Barr's explanation unconvincing, particularly given his previous role in facilitating leniency for powerful figures in legal matters. His insistence that Epstein's death was a result of incompetence rather than conspiracy did little to quell speculation, especially as key evidence, such as security footage, was either missing or unusable. Some critics pointed to the swift dismissal of the guards involved as a means to close the case without deeper scrutiny. Barr's handling of the case remains a subject of controversy, with many believing that his role was not just oversight but active damage control to protect Epstein's powerful associates from exposure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Five former Ohio State wrestlers—who say they were victims of the late Dr. Richard Strauss—authored a letter in early February 2020, urging Ohio's Inspector General to investigate Les and Abigail Wexner. In their five-page appeal, they request two investigations: first, into Abigail Wexner's alleged role in Jeffrey Epstein's assault of Maria Farmer at the Wexners' New Albany estate; and second, into any relationship between Epstein, the Wexner family, and Ohio State University. The wrestlers specifically cite Abigail's position as vice chair of OSU's Board of Trustees and question why the university continues its ties with the Wexners amid such serious allegationsThe letter further emphasizes parallels between how Ohio State ignored complaints against Strauss and its handling of Epstein-related allegations. The wrestlers assert that the university has repeatedly turned a blind eye to sexual abuse and “offers only the pretense of caring,” especially given Epstein's significant contributions—including to the Wexner Football Facility—and his donor relationship with OSU. They argue that to properly address the abuse legacy and protect current and future students, the university must sever any inappropriate ties with "pedophiles and sex traffickers and those who enabled them, including both Abigail and Leslie Wexner."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-ohio-state-wrestlers-call-investigation-university-s-ties-jeffrey-n1134071Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

They also discuss the Fed's monetary policy, its independence, and the lack of dissent among its board members, calling for a shift in culture and leadership.
