Charles Schwab's Adam Lynch returns to this week's Crypto Corner to explain why some traders see a bottom forming in Bitcoin. He compares commentary from prominent crypto traders to blockchain bears in weighing both sides of the argument. Adam points to JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) increased institutional adoption as a positive for the space for a variety of reasons, the leading of which being what he considers a "structural trend." A risk he touches on later on: BlockFills filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy despite its institutional exposure. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Empowering Professionals and Corporate Culture Through Nonprofit Board Service: Insights from Whitley RichardsIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Whitley Richards, the CEO of Cause Strategy Partners, to explore the high-impact intersection of corporate talent and social good. Their conversation highlights how nonprofit board service is no longer just an act of charity; it is a strategic vehicle for leadership development and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Whitley explains how her organization bridges the gap between major corporations and the nonprofit sector, ensuring that professionals from companies like Google and JPMorgan Chase are not only placed on boards but are equipped with the governance training necessary to drive real systemic change.The Strategic Triple Win: Professionals, Companies, and CommunitiesFacilitating nonprofit board service creates a powerful synergy that addresses the most pressing pain points for modern business leaders: employee disengagement and the "skills gap." When a company encourages its rising talent to serve on a board, it is essentially outsourcing high-level leadership training to the real world. In the boardroom, professionals must navigate complex challenges such as financial oversight, strategic planning, and consensus-building among diverse stakeholders—all of which are "power skills" that translate directly back to their corporate roles. This hands-on experience often proves more effective than traditional classroom-style leadership retreats, as it places the individual in a position of high-stakes accountability for a cause they genuinely care about.From a corporate perspective, supporting board service is a robust retention tool that satisfies the modern worker's hunger for purpose. Employees who feel their personal values align with their professional environment are significantly more likely to remain loyal and engaged. Furthermore, these placements act as a force multiplier for a company's corporate citizenship. Instead of merely writing a check, a corporation is lending its intellectual capital to the community, building deeper, more authentic ties with local organizations. This proactive approach to corporate citizenship bolsters brand reputation and establishes the company as a pillar of the community, which is increasingly vital in a consumer landscape that rewards social transparency and impact.For the nonprofits involved, the influx of corporate expertise provides a level of professionalization and strategic rigor that can be difficult to acquire otherwise. Cause Strategy Partners uses a technology-driven approach to ensure these matches are based on more than just proximity; they are based on a deep alignment of skills and passion. This ensures that the professional isn't just a figurehead but a high-value contributor who can help the nonprofit navigate resource allocation and organizational direction. By shifting the narrative from "volunteering" to "strategic board service," Whitley and her team are redefining how we think about social impact, creating a sustainable model where every participant walks away with measurable growth and a renewed sense of mission.About Whitley RichardsWhitley Richards is the CEO of Cause Strategy Partners and a recognized leader in the social impact space. With an MPA from NYU Wagner, she has dedicated her career to the belief that the private sector holds the keys to solving many of the world's most difficult social challenges. She oversees the strategic direction of the firm, focusing on expanding the reach of their board placement and governance training programs to empower the next generation of social-impact leaders.About Cause Strategy PartnersCause Strategy Partners is a social enterprise that helps individuals and corporations achieve their greatest social impact. Through their flagship BoardLead program and a suite of governance resources, they match talented professionals with nonprofit board opportunities. By providing rigorous training and technology-powered matching, the firm ensures that nonprofit boards are diverse, skilled, and prepared to lead their organizations toward long-term success.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCause Strategy Partners Official WebsiteWhitley Richards on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe "Triple Win" Framework: How board service simultaneously benefits the professional, the corporation, and the nonprofit partner.Governance as Leadership Training: Why the boardroom is the ultimate environment for developing emotional intelligence and strategic thinking.Bridging the Purpose Gap: Strategies for companies to retain top talent by facilitating meaningful social engagement.Technology in Placements: The role of data-driven matching in ensuring that board service is high-impact rather than just high-intent.The "My Cause Finder" Tool: A practical resource for individuals to identify where their skills meet the world's needs.ConclusionThe conversation with Whitley Richards underscores that nonprofit board service is a transformative opportunity for professional and organizational growth. By aligning personal passions with strategic service, individuals can develop critical leadership skills while corporations strengthen their culture and community impact.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

JPMorgan Chase's long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is a masterclass in corporate hypocrisy. While everyday customers face freezes, fees, and scrutiny for minor transactions, the bank happily processed more than a billion dollars for a convicted sex offender over fifteen years. Compliance officers raised alarms, but their warnings were treated as noise while executives chased profits. Instead of dropping Epstein after his 2008 conviction, JPMorgan rolled out the red carpet, proving that “risk management” really meant protecting revenue streams, not society.When the scandal finally broke, the bank acted stunned, as though Epstein's activities had somehow been invisible all along. In reality, they legitimized him, empowered him, and profited off him until his reputation became too toxic to touch. Their eventual response—a few hundred million in settlements and hollow statements about taking compliance “seriously”—was pure damage control. At its core, JPMorgan wasn't just a banker; it was an enabler, dressing complicity up as business as usual and proving once again that in the world of finance, crime isn't a disqualifier—it's an opportunity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Mellody Hobson, one of the country's preeminent investors and business and civic leaders. Hobson is the co-CEO of Ariel Investments, a board director of several Fortune 500 companies and nonprofit organizations, and a nationally recognized advocate for financial literacy and economic inclusion. We begin with a discussion of the formative childhood experiences that would shape Hobson's personal and professional trajectory. Hobson recalls how, as a young girl on the South Side of Chicago who regularly experienced economic insecurity, she was driven to work very hard and "to understand money" as a path to economic security for herself and for others. "My purpose was sealed very early," she says.  After graduating from Princeton in 1991, Hobson joined the Chicago-based Ariel Investments. In the thirty-five years since, she has traveled from intern to co-CEO, building a $14 billion asset management firm with a mission to "transform the lives of everyone who entrusts us with their financial futures."  Hobson walks us through her evolution as a leader, and describes Ariel's signature approach to long-term investing in companies and sectors that are "misunderstood, ignored and underfollowed," where vigorous and original research allows the team to identify mispriced securities and the opportunity to outperform. According to Hobson, Ariel's success has derived from the principles and practices of active patience ("being patient is really hard, it requires great restraint, great study, great discipline"), bold teamwork, and independent thinking – the focused expertise that supports the "conviction to have a different opinion." This approach made Ariel a pioneer, first in small cap stocks, where the firm's founder John Rogers tested the long-term value investment thesis, and later in mid cap and international markets. In 2021, Hobson launched Ariel Alternatives, which included its inaugural private equity fund, Project Black, focused on building to scale minority businesses that will be tier one suppliers to Fortune 500 companies, and Project Level, a new vehicle focused on "changing the game" in women's sports. Given the seismic and secular shifts in the industry, Hobson believes women's sports are "the next big growth opportunity… the small cap of sports." Hobson speaks passionately about all she has learned as a corporate director. Today, she serves on the board of JP Morgan Chase, and was a director of Estée Lauder Companies, DreamWorks Animation, and Starbucks, which she led as chair. She is equally animated by her civic commitments, learning early on it was "part of your job to be of service to others… it was sewn into my DNA." We discuss the inspiration she finds in her work with a number of nonprofit organizations, including After School Matters, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a new cultural institution she has created with her husband and filmmaker George Lucas. Hobson is fervent about the power of storytelling, and her and Lucas's belief that "everyone's story matters." Hobson has captured part of her own story in the New York bestselling Priceless Facts about Money, an immaculately researched and illustrated children's book that makes learning about money and finance accessible — and fun. And it is in young people that Hobson sees hope, even in challenging times, as they affirm her faith in the wonder and promise of human potential. "If you believe that is true," she says, "then everything is possible. Not anything — everything." Mentioned in this episode John W.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI and the way the things that we are measuring in business to measure AIs, the productivity, the benefits that you’re getting out of it. One of my favorite apps, Katie, is called Blind. This is an anonymous confessions app for the business world where people who work at companies—mostly in big business and big tech—share anonymous confessions. They have to say what company they’re with, but that’s it. There were three posts that really caught my eye over the weekend. The first was from a person who works at Capital One bank who said, “Hi, I’m a junior software engineer.” Three years into my career, my co‑workers are pumping out so many poll requests with Claude code and blitzing through jobs that used to take three to five days in less than an hour. I feel like every day at the office is a race to see who can generate more poll requests and complete them than anyone else. The second one was from JP Morgan Chase saying, “I just downloaded Claude coat and wtf. I don’t know what to think. Either we are cooked or saved.” The third was from an engineer at Tesla who said, “I joined recently as a contractor and don’t have access to Claude. I’m slower than the others on my team and it stresses me out.” So my question to you is this, Katie: Obviously people are using generative AI to move very fast. However, I don’t know if fast is the metric that we should be looking at here, particularly since a lot of people who manage coders don’t necessarily manage them well. They don’t. For example, very famously, Elon Musk, when he took over Twitter, fired people who didn’t write enough code. He measured people’s productivity solely on lines of code written. Anyone who’s actually written code for a living knows you want less code written rather than more because there’s a certain amount of elegance to writing less code. So my question to you is, as we talk about AI proficiency—sort of AI proficiency week here at Trust Insights—what would you tell people who are managing people using AI about measuring their proficiency and measuring the results that they’re getting? Katie Robbert: So first, let me answer your question. No, I do not frequent—was it Blind? Yeah. Anyone who knows me knows that I am honest and direct to a fault. So no, that would annoy me more than anything—just say it to my face. But that aside, I understand why apps like that exist. Not every company builds a culture where an open‑door policy is actually true. The policy is: the door is open only if you have positive things to share; the door is closed if you have complaints. I sympathize with people who feel the need to turn to those kinds of apps to express concern, frustration, fear. It seems, Chris, that a lot of the fear over the past couple of years is: “Will AI take my job?” In those environments, leadership decisions about process and output are really pushing for AI to take the job. What I’m not seeing is what the success metrics are. If the metric is faster and more, then you’re missing the third most important one—quality. We don’t know what kind of quality is being produced. Given those short snippets of context, we can assume it’s probably mediocre. It’s probably slightly above the bar, but nothing outstanding—enough to get by, enough to keep the lights on. For some larger companies, that’s fine because you can bury mediocre work in the politics and red tape of an enterprise‑sized organization. No one really expects much more, which is a little sad. So what I would say to managers is, number one, if you’re not clear on what you’re being measured on, or if your success metric is faster and more, head for the hills—run. That is not good. I mean it in all sincerity; that is not going to serve you in the long run because those metrics are not sustainable. Christopher S. Penn: And yet that’s what—particularly at a bigger company—where I can definitely, obviously at a company like Trust Insights, we’re four people. Outcomes are something we all measure because we have a direct line to outcomes. If we sell more courses, book more keynote speeches, get more retainer clients, we all have a hand in that and can see very clearly the business outcome. At a company like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, or Capital One, there are hundreds of thousands of employees. Your line of sight to any kind of business outcome is probably five layers of management removed. The front line is way over there—tellers, for example. You write the software that writes the software that manages the system the tellers use. So you don’t have clear outcomes from a business‑level perspective. Because I used to work at places like AT&T where you are just a cog in the machine, your outcomes very often are either faster or more because no one knows what else to measure. Katie Robbert: In companies like that, those outcomes are—quote, unquote—good enough because of the nature of what you produce. Consumers have become so dependent on your company that we often talk about the really crappy customer service at cable and Internet providers. There are only so many of them, and they’re all the same. We have become reliant on that technology and have no choice but to put up with crappy service from the big providers. The same goes for the financial industry. We don’t have a choice other than to rely on these crappy companies because we aren’t equipped to stand up our own financial institutions and change the rules. It’s a big, old industry, and that’s why they operate the way they do. It’s disheartening. When it comes down to humans, you have to make your own personal choices. Are you okay contributing to the mediocrity of the company and never really advancing? Chris, what you’ve been saying—what is the art of the possible? They don’t know, but they also don’t care. They’re not looking to disrupt the industry. No other companies are starting up to disrupt them because they’re so massive; they’re okay with the status quo, changing at a glacial pace, if at all. It’s not a great story to tell. You might have a consistent paycheck, but you might not have a lot of passion for the work you do. It might just be clock in at nine, clock out at five, with two 15‑minute breaks and a 30‑minute lunch—and that’s fine for a lot of people. That works for survival. Outside of that work environment is where you find joy, passion, and the things you’re really interested in. All to say, the advice I would give to managers is: how much are you willing to put up with? Those industries aren’t going to change. Christopher S. Penn: So in the context of AI proficiency, what do you advise them to focus on? Knowing that, to your point, these places are so calcified, faster is one of the only benchmarks that matter, alongside constantly shrinking budgets. Cheaper is built in because you have to do 5 % less every year. How do you suggest a manager or employee who feels the fastest typist wins the day and gets the promotion—even if the quality is zero—handle this? The Tesla engineer example is interesting: they don’t have access to generative AI, co‑workers do, they’re much faster, and the contractor fears being fired. How do we resolve this for team members, knowing that these companies are so calcified that even if a department takes a stand on quality, the other twenty departments competing for budget will say, “Great, you focus on quality; we’ll take your budget because we’ll produce ten times more next year.” Even quality sucks. Katie Robbert: The Tesla example is an outlier. We don’t have context for why that person doesn’t have access to generative AI—maybe they’re brand new. Contractors don’t get access to paid tools, so that explains it. When we talk about levels of AI proficiency, generic training doesn’t work; it doesn’t stick. Companies and individuals need to assess their AI proficiency. We typically do this on a six‑point scale, from Basic to Advanced. Within each level are skill sets: Level 1—editing, correcting grammar, asking it to write code. Level 2—writing code and reading code. Level 3—building QA plans. Level 4—providing business or product requirements, agile cues, or building a project plan. It’s like a career path: today I’m a junior analyst, tomorrow I want to be a senior analyst. The same applies to AI proficiency. My recommendation for managers and individuals stuck in those situations—or anyone looking to level up their AI proficiency—is to look at what’s next, what you don’t know. In the case of Tesla or JP Morgan, they will only produce a limited variety of things. In banking, look at the use cases and how you’re using AI. If you’re building code, how do you automate while keeping a human in the loop? Human‑in‑the‑loop means literal human intervention; you’re not just setting it and forgetting it like a rotisserie chicken. You must ensure a human is paying attention. Perhaps your KPIs aren’t quality of output, but if you start delivering incorrect work, customers complain, and the company loses money, the quality of your output will suddenly matter. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re creating it. For the Tesla contractor who lacks internal AI tools, they can get access to their own tools and build their skill set: acknowledge they’re not as fast as full‑time employees, determine what they need to do to match or outpace them, and work on it in their own time if they care. In that instance, the person is worried about job security, so it’s probably in their best interest to act. Christopher S. Penn: I like how you analogize the six levels to basically the three levels of management. The first two levels are individual contributors; the next two are middle management; the final two are leadership—going from typing the thing to delegating it entirely to someone else. That’s a great analogy. I think after this episode I’m going to revise that chart to help people wrap their brains around it. What does the level of AI performance efficiency mean? It means you go from individual contributor to leader, eventually leading machines—not necessarily humans. The Tesla example worries me because the company is essentially asking contractors to bring their own AI tools—a data‑privacy and security nightmare. Still, when I think about our clients who engage us for AI readiness assessments, we see a hierarchy of people with different proficiency levels outpacing each other. Is it fair to say that people with more proficiency—or who invest more in themselves—will blow past peers who are not? Do those peers need to worry about career viability when a peer becomes a mythical 10× engineer or marketer? Katie Robbert: The short answer is yes, but that’s true in any career path. Unless you’re in a company that promotes someone based on appearance rather than ability, which is another conversation, it’s absolutely true. Levels of AI proficiency run in parallel with organizational maturity. AI proficiency can’t stand alone without a certain amount of maturity within the organization. We often talk about foundations—the five Ps: documented processes, platforms, good governance, and privacy. Those have to exist for someone to be set up for success and move through AI proficiency levels. Otherwise, they’re becoming proficient against creative garbage. That won’t translate to better career opportunities because, boiled down, it’s garbage in, garbage out—you become proficient at moving garbage around, and nobody wants to hire that. Christopher S. Penn: An essay from last year discussed the AI reckoning in larger companies. It said AI is doing what decades of management consulting couldn’t—showcasing as you apply AI to processes. Entire levels of management are unnecessary, doing nothing but holding meetings and sending emails. The essay posited that mid‑level managers may realize they only push paper from point A to point B. In those cases, what should people in those positions think about for their own AI proficiency, knowing that improving it will reveal that they add little value? Katie Robbert: As someone who’s spent most of her career managing, I’ve often had to defend my role. Once, an agency considered dissolving my position because they thought I didn’t bring anything to the table—obviously not true. The team that grew from three people to a $3 million profit center also knows that. Managers need to think about delegation: not just handing off tasks, but ensuring the right people are in the right seats. Coaching is a big part of the job—bringing people up through their proficiency levels. If I’m a middle manager using the individual‑contributor, manager, leadership matrix, how do I get out of that vulnerable middle spot? Maybe I need to create more workflows, find efficiencies, save the budget, identify level‑one champions, and build them up. Those are the things someone in that middle vulnerable section should consider, because they are vulnerable. Many companies have managers who don’t do squat. I’ve worked alongside those managers; it’s maddening. One thing that will evolve with the manager role is that you can no longer be just a manager. You can’t just manage things; you have to bring some level of individual contribution and thought leadership to the role. It’s no longer enough to just manage—if that makes sense. Christopher S. Penn: It makes sense. Over the weekend I was working on something for myself: as technology evolves and I delegate more to it, the guardrails for quality have to get stricter. I revised the rules I use with my Python coding agents—new, enhanced, advanced rules with more guidelines and descriptions about what the agent is and is not allowed to do. This morning my kickoff process broke, so I told the agent to fix it according to the new rules. I realized the previous application sucked, and I fixed it. Now it’s much happier. I think building quality guardrails will differentiate managers who take on AI management—not just people management. Yes, AI can be faster, but there’s no guarantee it’s better. If I’m a manager who gets faster and better results than peers who just hope it works, I keep my job. What do you think about that angle? Katie Robbert: It makes sense. Take the middle‑manager example: the VP says, “Client needs these five things.” The hierarchy follows—manager, then individual contributors. The middle person can step up, create a process, develop a proof‑of‑concept example based on the VP’s input, delegate with quality assurance, and cut down iterations. That saves time, saves budget, gets results faster, and reduces frustration because expectations are clear. Christopher S. Penn: The axiom we talk about when discussing AI optimization is bigger, better, faster, cheaper. Faster obviously saves time and money. We don’t often talk about bigger and better—doing things that add value that wasn’t there before. The value you create should be higher quality. To wrap up AI proficiency, we have three divisions, six levels, and a focus: if you’re worried about someone else being faster, be as fast and be better quality.

Are you building a business, or just a job with your name on it? For many founders, selling their company is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Yet when the time comes, they're unprepared — financially, structurally, and emotionally. They're burned out. Or worse, they're forced into a decision that should have been strategic. In this episode, we discuss what it really takes to sell a business well — and why preparing for an exit starts years before you ever list it. Marvin Karlow is a licensed investment banker and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisor at Raincatcher who has spent his career on both sides of the deal table. A former C-suite executive at LexisNexis, ChoicePoint, JPMorgan Chase, and Texas Instruments, Marvin later bought, grew, and exited his own manufacturing business — including a carve-out that was acquired by a publicly traded company. Over the past two years alone, he has helped founders achieve more than $25 million in successful exits. In this episode, Marvin breaks down how to prepare your business for maximum value, reduce stress during the sale process, and exit on your terms — not someone else's. Build a Business Buyers Compete For The biggest mistake founders make? Waiting until they're burned out to sell. Burnout often signals declining financial or operational performance, and buyers notice that. Marvin explains that the right time to sell isn't when you have to — it's when you're profitable, growing, and emotionally ready. Three foundational factors dramatically impact valuation: Profitability (non-negotiable) Clean, organized financials Minimal owner reliance Owner reliance is a deal killer. If every decision runs through you, if key client relationships depend solely on your personal history — buyers aren't purchasing a scalable business. They're buying a job. And that lowers value. The goal? Become the strategist behind your business. Run a Process — Don't Just List Your Business Many founders unknowingly leave money on the table because their representation "lists and waits." Marvin's philosophy is different: create a competitive environment. He compares it to selling a house. You don't just put it on MLS and hope. You stage it. Market it strategically. Create urgency. Invite multiple serious buyers. Set deadlines. Generate offers. Negotiate upward. That same disciplined process applies in M&A. Competition drives value. When buyers know others are at the table, offers improve — not just on price, but on terms. Every business owner exits eventually. You can exit on your terms, under your own power — or not. Preparing early allows you to strengthen financial reporting, reduce owner dependence, and make other improvements that boost value years later. Enjoy this episode with Marvin Karlow… Soundbytes 06:02 - 06:17 "For a lot of business owners, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, because you started the business when you were 17 or 22 or whatever, and you ran it for 20 or 30 or 40 years. And now your reason for exiting is that you'd like to retire, or you'd like to spend more time with the grandkids, or whatever it is. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. And you definitely want to get it right. This is not the thing to get wrong in life." 36:57 - 37:15 "Every business owner exits eventually. You're going to exit your business at some point. You can do it on your terms under your own power — or not. I suggest your own terms and your own power, and having conversations with somebody like me will help that." Quotes "If you're working 60 hours a week in your business and every decision runs through you, it's going to be pretty difficult to sell." "The number one tactic is to be profitable." "There's a buyer for almost every business. The question is valuation." "The only way to know you got the best deal is to have multiple offers."

JPMorgan Chase's long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is a masterclass in corporate hypocrisy. While everyday customers face freezes, fees, and scrutiny for minor transactions, the bank happily processed more than a billion dollars for a convicted sex offender over fifteen years. Compliance officers raised alarms, but their warnings were treated as noise while executives chased profits. Instead of dropping Epstein after his 2008 conviction, JPMorgan rolled out the red carpet, proving that “risk management” really meant protecting revenue streams, not society.When the scandal finally broke, the bank acted stunned, as though Epstein's activities had somehow been invisible all along. In reality, they legitimized him, empowered him, and profited off him until his reputation became too toxic to touch. Their eventual response—a few hundred million in settlements and hollow statements about taking compliance “seriously”—was pure damage control. At its core, JPMorgan wasn't just a banker; it was an enabler, dressing complicity up as business as usual and proving once again that in the world of finance, crime isn't a disqualifier—it's an opportunity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Institutional Investor piece recounts how JPMorgan Chase faced intense scrutiny over its long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges when he died in 2019. Citing a New York Times investigation, the article explains that JPMorgan's compliance staff had recommended ending Epstein's accounts after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, but senior management resisted and kept him as a profitable private-banking client until 2013. Internal debate over whether to cut ties was reportedly heated, with at least one compliance officer quitting and top executives ultimately overruling warnings about legal and reputational risk.The article also highlights how Epstein leveraged relationships inside the firm — particularly with executives like Jes Staley, who helped bring Epstein connections and business — to maintain his access despite red flags. It notes that Epstein's network helped JPMorgan win wealthy clients and deals, which complicated internal efforts to drop him. JPMorgan publicly pushed back against the Times report, with spokespeople denying senior leaders overruled compliance to retain Epstein. The bank eventually ended the relationship amid heightened regulatory scrutiny and changes in leadership, but the episode raised questions about how Wall Street institutions balance risk, reputation, and money.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Senior executives at JPMorgan Chase continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein years after the bank said it had cut him off as a client in 2013, according to reporting based on internal documents and people familiar with the matter. Bankers, including one named Justin Nelson, held about half a dozen meetings with Epstein at his Manhattan townhouse between 2014 and 2017, even though JPMorgan had formally ended its banking relationship with him. Some of those meetings involved discussions about other clients or introductions Epstein could make, rather than direct financial dealings, but they demonstrate that contact between the disgraced financier and bank personnel continued long after the official split.The disclosures have fueled broader questions about how deeply Epstein's network remained embedded with Wall Street institutions and whether JPMorgan's review and severing of ties in 2013 reflected the full scope of its engagement. While the bank maintains it ended the relationship and has denied prior wrongdoing, the continued interactions with Epstein and other executives' past contacts with him have become part of ongoing litigation and scrutiny over whether the bank appropriately handled red flags associated with Epstein's conduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A lawsuit claims that senior executives at JPMorgan Chase were aware of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of underage girls while he was still a client of the bank. According to court filings cited by the Daily Mail, internal communications and testimony suggest that high-level officials discussed concerns about Epstein's behavior for years before cutting ties with him in 2013. The lawsuit alleges that bank employees flagged suspicious cash withdrawals and the nature of Epstein's relationships with young women, yet he remained a profitable client despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor.The legal action argues that JPMorgan not only maintained its relationship with Epstein after his conviction but also potentially facilitated aspects of his trafficking operation by continuing to process large financial transactions. The bank has previously stated that it regrets its association with Epstein and maintains that it ended the relationship once concerns escalated internally.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

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.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

AI is reshaping both sides of the cybersecurity battlefield — and fast. In this episode, we break down five stories that prove it: the first Chrome zero-day of 2026 (CVE-2026-2441), a near-perfect CVSS 9.9 in Microsoft's Semantic Kernel SDK (CVE-2026-26030), a supply chain attack on AI coding assistant Cline that silently installed autonomous agents on thousands of developer machines, the first-ever Android malware using Google's Gemini AI at runtime (PromptSpy), and a Russian-speaking threat actor who used commercial AI tools to breach over 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in just five weeks. Whether you're a developer, security professional, or just someone who uses a browser — this one's worth your time.

The lawsuit alleges that bank employees flagged suspicious cash withdrawals and the nature of Epstein's relationships with young women, yet he remained a profitable client despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor.The legal action argues that JPMorgan not only maintained its relationship with Epstein after his conviction but also potentially facilitated aspects of his trafficking operation by continuing to process large financial transactions. The bank has previously stated that it regrets its association with Epstein and maintains that it ended the relationship once concerns escalated internally.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In filings in 2023, former Jes Staley asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit against him related to the bank's handling of its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan sued Staley seeking to recover compensation and losses tied to two lawsuits the bank faces over its work with Epstein, alleging Staley misled the bank about Epstein's character and conduct and failed to address internal concerns about keeping Epstein as a client. In response, Staley argued that the bank's claims lacked both legal and factual basis, and he urged the judge to throw out the case because the bank was unfairly trying to pin blame on him for broader institutional decisions made by JPMorgan. Staley specifically accused the bank of using him as a “public relations shield” to deflect criticism and responsibility for its own alleged failures in managing its relationship with Epstein rather than focusing on substantive legal issues.A federal judge later denied Staley's motion to dismiss, saying the case would proceed and that explanations would follow in written orders. Staley's defense centered on the idea that JPMorgan could not plausibly hold him solely responsible for decisions made by the bank years earlier, especially when there were no clear allegations that he directly facilitated Epstein's criminal activities or knew of them firsthand. His contention was that JPMorgan was attempting to deflect scrutiny from its own policies and practices by placing him at the center of high-profile litigation, turning him into a scapegoat for reputational purposes. The legal dispute was part of broader litigation tied to Epstein's network and the bank's role in enabling his financial activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Senior executives at JPMorgan Chase continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein years after the bank said it had cut him off as a client in 2013, according to reporting based on internal documents and people familiar with the matter. Bankers, including one named Justin Nelson, held about half a dozen meetings with Epstein at his Manhattan townhouse between 2014 and 2017, even though JPMorgan had formally ended its banking relationship with him. Some of those meetings involved discussions about other clients or introductions Epstein could make, rather than direct financial dealings, but they demonstrate that contact between the disgraced financier and bank personnel continued long after the official split.The disclosures have fueled broader questions about how deeply Epstein's network remained embedded with Wall Street institutions and whether JPMorgan's review and severing of ties in 2013 reflected the full scope of its engagement. While the bank maintains it ended the relationship and has denied prior wrongdoing, the continued interactions with Epstein and other executives' past contacts with him have become part of ongoing litigation and scrutiny over whether the bank appropriately handled red flags associated with Epstein's conduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

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 Institutional Investor piece recounts how JPMorgan Chase faced intense scrutiny over its long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges when he died in 2019. Citing a New York Times investigation, the article explains that JPMorgan's compliance staff had recommended ending Epstein's accounts after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, but senior management resisted and kept him as a profitable private-banking client until 2013. Internal debate over whether to cut ties was reportedly heated, with at least one compliance officer quitting and top executives ultimately overruling warnings about legal and reputational risk.The article also highlights how Epstein leveraged relationships inside the firm — particularly with executives like Jes Staley, who helped bring Epstein connections and business — to maintain his access despite red flags. It notes that Epstein's network helped JPMorgan win wealthy clients and deals, which complicated internal efforts to drop him. JPMorgan publicly pushed back against the Times report, with spokespeople denying senior leaders overruled compliance to retain Epstein. The bank eventually ended the relationship amid heightened regulatory scrutiny and changes in leadership, but the episode raised questions about how Wall Street institutions balance risk, reputation, and money.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

In this interview, Kerry Lutz speaks with Rick Rule about why he sold 80% of his physical silver — and why the move isn't bearish. Rick explains that once silver stopped being a "hated" asset, the opportunity changed, leading him to redeploy capital into high-quality silver equities with strong upside if prices remain steady. Rick discusses the nature of precious metals bull markets, where sharp rallies are often followed by steep corrections. He explains why volatility shakes out unprepared investors and why popular silver narratives — including claims about large shorts like JPMorgan Chase — often distract from the basic arithmetic that ultimately drives markets. The conversation also looks at the bigger monetary picture. Rick believes the U.S. dollar could lose significant purchasing power over the next decade, with conditions similar to the 1970s. Precious metals may continue to appreciate over time, but investors should expect a volatile path with multiple corrections along the way. Rick also introduces the upcoming Living the Silver-Backed Lifestyle Report, which focuses on measuring purchasing power instead of price — showing what silver has bought in the past, what it buys today, and how precious metals have helped preserve wealth through inflationary cycles.

Do not miss the first part of Amanda's Epstein files conversation. To listen, click here: THE EPSTEIN FILES, EXPLAINED: Everything You Need to Know. Brad Edwards – who has represented 200 Epstein survivors for almost two decades – is the attorney who sued to expose what was later found by a federal judge to be the federal prosecution's prolonged, coordinated collusion to protect Jeffrey Epstein from facing justice for his crimes.   In this exclusive conversation with Amanda, in which Brad shares experiences during his advocacy for survivors he has never shared before, he walks us through: The incredible courage and resilience of the survivors The secret immunity deal between federal prosecutors and Epstein and the government cover-up How the DOJ seems to be intentionally revictimizing survivors in the way they are releasing the Epstein Files How he secretly worked with the SDNY to finally arrest Epstein in 2019  What the path forward is for accountability.  This episode centers survivors and the people who never stopped fighting for them, and asks what comes next. About Brad Edwards: Brad Edwards is the founding partner of Edwards Henderson and the author of Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein.  He is a nationally recognized Board Certified Civil Trial attorney who specializes in providing civil representation for children, survivors of sexual abuse, and victims of violent crimes. From 2008 through 2019, Brad served as pro-bono lead counsel on behalf of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in the seminal case upholding crime victims' rights in this country. In 2019, the Federal Judge on the case ruled in favor of the victims, holding that the government had violated the rights of Epstein's victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act when Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement without the knowledge of his victims in 2008. In 2023, Brad spearheaded unprecedented litigation as lead counsel against the banking institutions that facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for decades. The litigation ended in a $290 million settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $75 million settlement with Deutsche Bank on behalf of hundreds of survivors from all over the world.
