Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 48-7 win over Boston College on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. What went into coach Pat Narduzzi's decision to bench Eli Holstein and put in true freshman Mason Heintschel? And why was Heintschel able to have success? How was Heintschel able to rally the whole team around him? What kind of trickle-down effect did that have on the rest of the roster? And what does this say about the freshman QB heading into next week's much tougher task — at Florida State? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rumors that Robert Maxwell bankrolled Jeffrey Epstein have been circulating for decades, not just in fringe corners but among journalists, investigators, and intelligence veterans who find Epstein's rise too abrupt and too secretive to be explained by normal finance. Epstein's jump from a failed high-school teacher to a Bear Stearns trader with instant entrée to billionaires has long looked like a manufactured career rather than a natural one. That's where Maxwell enters the picture: a man who himself plundered pension funds, operated in and around intelligence services, and maintained a global network of fixers and financiers. People close to the Epstein story, including Julie K. Brown, have acknowledged the plausibility of such a connection precisely because Maxwell had both the resources and the covert reach to set someone like Epstein up as a front. This theory is attractive because it connects two figures who both thrived in the same murky world of secret deals, intelligence ties, and shadow wealth.What remains unknown is not the plausibility but the paper trail. No bank records, verified wire transfers, or sworn testimony have surfaced that explicitly show Maxwell funding Epstein's early career. That doesn't erase the pattern; it highlights how carefully such an arrangement, if it existed, would have been hidden. The absence of a smoking gun does not make the suspicion baseless — it reflects the very nature of covert patronage. In this light, the rumors about Maxwell's money fueling Epstein's rise are not some idle conspiracy—they're a working hypothesis about how Epstein's wealth materialized and why it remains so difficult to trace.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
