This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump.Based on exclusive interviews with intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine. The book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, supporting that conclusion with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first “spotted” Trump as a potential asset, how it cultivated him, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points. Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that: • According to former KGB major Yuri Shvets, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré, triggering protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, launching a decades-long “relationship” of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power. • Trump's 1987 invitation to Moscow was billed as a scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for "deep development." • Before Trump's first Moscow trip, he met with Natalia Dubinin, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives. • In 1987, according to Shvets, the KGB circulated an internal cable hailing the successful execution of an active measure by a newly cultivated American asset who took out full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe promoting policies promoted by the KGB. The ads had been taken out by Donald Trump, who, Shvets said, would become a “special unofficial contact” for the KGB.In addition to exploring Trump's ties to the KGB, American Kompromat also reveals: • How Jeffrey Epstein and Trump jostled for influence and financial supremacy for years. Epstein became a millionaire in part with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell's father—media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who allegedly served as a spy and likely gave Epstein a sum between $10 and $20 million before his death in 1991. • How the Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking operation provided a source and marketplace for sexual kompromat. • How the Epstein-Maxwell ring helped enable young women with possible ties to Russian intelligence to gain access to the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the worlds of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and the internet. This, at a time when Vladimir Putin has asserted, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere [artificial intelligence] will become the ruler of the world.” • How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago's Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin's inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”https://amzn.to/4i4T3dKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In January 2020, the 58-meter yacht once known as Lady Ghislaine—the same vessel on which Robert Maxwell died mysteriously in 1991—was sighted in New Zealand, sparking a wave of intrigue and speculation. Now renamed Dancing Hare, the yacht docked at Akaroa before moving south to Dunedin's Victoria Wharf, its arrival prompting widespread coverage due to its grim legacy. Built in 1986 and named after Ghislaine Maxwell, the vessel symbolized the wealth and decadence of her father's media empire. Its reappearance decades later, in the waters of New Zealand, revived interest in the Maxwell family's dark history and the unanswered questions surrounding Robert Maxwell's death, as well as Ghislaine's later involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell shared a bond that went far deeper than casual friendship—it was one built on privilege, shared social circles, and a mutual sense of untouchability. They moved in the same rarefied world of aristocrats, billionaires, and power brokers where discretion was currency and boundaries were elastic. Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell, found in Andrew both status and protection within royal circles, while he found in her a glamorous, well-connected confidante who opened doors to an elite international network. Their rapport was easy, flirtatious, and enduring; she was often described as his “gatekeeper” and closest companion during the 1990s and early 2000s, attending royal events and social gatherings that blurred the line between friendship and partnership.That closeness, however, became radioactive once her connection to Jeffrey Epstein exploded into public view. Andrew's decades-long relationship with Maxwell became impossible to separate from the broader scandal, as photos, flight logs, and witness statements linked them together at Epstein's properties. Even after Epstein's first conviction, Andrew reportedly maintained contact with her, suggesting a bond built on deep loyalty—or shared secrets. In the end, Maxwell's downfall dragged Andrew down with her, transforming their once-glittering alliance into a cautionary tale of arrogance and denial. What was once whispered about as a friendship of privilege and trust is now remembered as a partnership that helped destroy both their reputations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
After the mysterious death of her father, media tycoon Robert Maxwell, in 1991, Ghislaine Maxwell's world collapsed overnight. Her father's empire — once a global powerhouse of publishing and influence — was exposed as a house of fraud built on embezzled pension funds and deceit. Ghislaine, once the glamorous socialite daughter of a media baron, suddenly found herself disgraced, adrift, and exiled from the circles that once adored her. Her family name was radioactive in Britain, her inheritance vanished, and she carried the emotional and financial fallout of her father's scandal. Desperate to reinvent herself and escape the wreckage, she relocated to New York City, where she sought refuge in the same elite world her father had once manipulated — the world of power, privilege, and access.In that new environment, Ghislaine quickly attached herself to Jeffrey Epstein, a man who offered wealth, status, and the illusion of stability. To many who knew her then, Epstein was the replacement for her domineering father — a figure of control and charisma she could orbit around. She leveraged her charm and social intelligence to help Epstein build his network of powerful friends, playing the role of gatekeeper and madam under the guise of sophistication. The tragedy of her father's death didn't humble her — it hardened her. Instead of retreating from the corruption and exploitation that had defined her family's downfall, she dove deeper into it, reshaping herself into the same kind of manipulator her father had been, only this time with a far darker purpose.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The three-part docuseries produced by Blue Ant Studios and premiered June 24, 2021, examines the life of Ghislaine Maxwell, tracing her upbringing as the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, her socialite years, her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the lead-up to her arrest on sex-trafficking charges. It features interviews (with people willing to speak) and previously unseen footage of the Maxwell family, seeking to show how she became part of a network of power, money, and abuse.While ably charting Maxwell's trajectory, the series has been critiqued for being more character study than legal deconstruction—highlighting her dynamics with father, lovers and society, rather than deeply probing the broader institutional failures that enabled Epstein's crimes. One reviewer noted that although it offers “plenty of potential answers,” it still frames Maxwell as a “fascinating villain” rather than focusing first and foremost on systemic accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Ian Maxwell's Spectator article reads less like a defense of justice and more like a tone-deaf PR memo from a family desperate to rewrite history. Cloaked in pseudo-sympathy and self-pity, Maxwell portrays his sister Ghislaine as some tragic heroine—a misunderstood victim of “media persecution” and an “inhumane” justice system. He spares no ink reminding readers that she was strip-searched, isolated, and treated unfairly, yet offers not a single ounce of genuine accountability for the teenage girls she groomed, exploited, or delivered into the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. The piece reeks of entitlement—the idea that the daughter of Robert Maxwell should be exempt from the consequences of her own actions simply because she's “suffered enough.” It's manipulative, self-serving, and deeply insulting to survivors who endured far worse.Rather than confronting the crimes or showing remorse, Ian Maxwell doubles down on the family's trademark arrogance, spinning a narrative that his sister is a scapegoat for Epstein's sins. He blames the justice system, the media, and public opinion—anyone and everyone except the person who trafficked minors across continents under the guise of philanthropy and power. His framing suggests that wealth and pedigree should shield one from public outrage, as if accountability were some vulgar thing reserved for commoners. What emerges isn't a defense of due process—it's the whining of a man unwilling to accept that his sister wasn't “targeted” by the system; she was caught by it. And the only “injustice” here is the insult of pretending otherwise.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Don't take Virginia Giuffre's memoir at face value - The Spectator WorldBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

John Sweeney, in his investigation of Ghislaine Maxwell and her father Robert Maxwell, argues that the root of her later role in the Jeffrey Epstein saga was the toxic and abusive dynamic with her father. He describes Robert Maxwell as “a monster, cruel, mad,” whose sadistic, domineering behavior created a deeply distorted childhood for Ghislaine—one in which she was both favoured and trapped in a patriarchal cult of power he built.Sweeney contends that Ghislaine's upbringing under Robert's tyranny left her emotionally deformed and predisposed to seeking a similar type of dominant male figure, ultimately shaping her alignment with Epstein. He frames her descent as a dark fairy-tale “in reverse,” where the princess begins in a palace and ends in a dungeon—claiming that she replaced one “monster” (her father) with another (Epstein) and that her role in the abuse network was under-girded by the damage inflicted in her early family life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@Protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
The publishing mogul Robert Maxwell lived a life shrouded in mystery that was ultimately capped by great disgrace. But was he an out and out villain, like Anthony Trollope's fictional swindler in The Way We Live Now, or a more nuanced and tragic figure? We discuss the life, legacy and deals of the great pension purloiner with his biographer, John Preston.

Today's Headlines: We're now on day 16 of the government shutdown, and Republican leaders are hinting it could drag on until Thanksgiving — casually blaming holiday travel chaos while admitting they're not even thinking about reopening the government. Meanwhile, OMB Director Russell Vought says the administration plans to fire 10,000 federal workers, though a federal judge just ruled they can't do that during a shutdown. While public employees go unpaid, the administration is finding cash for others — promising a “clever and generous” $10 billion bailout for farmers hit by the trade war with China once the shutdown ends, and another $20 billion to prop up Argentina's crumbling economy. Priorities! At the Pentagon, dozens of journalists turned in their press badges rather than sign Pete Hegseth's “state media” pledge requiring them to only report what the Defense Department approves — a move even Fox wouldn't touch. Over at the Supreme Court, justices heard a major case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by striking down race-based map protections — potentially flipping a dozen Democratic House seats in the South right before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, an Ohio GOP congressman's office was found to have a flag featuring a swastika intertwined with the American flag visible on a Zoom call. He blamed it on “vandalism,” because apparently random Nazi décor just appears in people's offices now. And finally, the yacht formerly known as the Lady Ghislaine — once owned by Robert Maxwell (yes, Ghislaine's dad) and now Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife's — caught fire in D.C. yesterday. Officials say it was electrical. Okay then.

In the months and years leading up to his death, Robert Maxwell became increasingly distrustful and paranoid, convinced that those closest to him were plotting behind his back. He had his offices secretly wired so he could eavesdrop on his employees and even his own family members, creating an atmosphere of fear within his empire. Once known as a charismatic and domineering media tycoon, Maxwell's behavior grew erratic—he would lash out at staff, accuse them of betrayal, and micromanage even the smallest details of his companies. His paranoia extended to his financial affairs, where he grew obsessed with hiding the truth about his massive debts and pension fund manipulations, leading him to retreat further into secrecy and denial.By the final months of his life, Maxwell had become almost delusional in his distrust. He isolated himself aboard his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, surrounded by loyalists and bodyguards while cutting off communication with anyone he didn't fully control. Reports and tapes from that period show a man consumed by suspicion, believing that enemies in government, media, and even within his own business circle were conspiring to bring him down. His death at sea—officially ruled accidental but still clouded in mystery—seemed to encapsulate the final unraveling of a man trapped in his own web of lies, surveillance, and fear.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Palm Beach, Florida, Stati Uniti. Nel 2005, una telefonata disperata di una madre alla polizia locale fa crollare la facciata di rispettabilità di uno dei miliardari più potenti d'America. Dietro le feste esclusive, i jet privati e le amicizie con presidenti e principi, si nasconde una macchina perfetta di abusi su minori protetta da avvocati spietati, procuratori corrotti e un sistema di potere che sembra intoccabile.

The PROMIS software scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein case, while separated by decades and context, share strikingly similar hallmarks. PROMIS began as a prosecutorial tool but was allegedly modified by intelligence services like Mossad to include backdoors, enabling covert surveillance when installed in foreign governments and financial institutions. Robert Maxwell, the British media tycoon and suspected Mossad operative, was said to have played a major role in distributing this compromised software worldwide. His involvement linked media, finance, and espionage, and his mysterious death only deepened suspicions. PROMIS thus became emblematic of how intelligence agencies use front men, plausible enterprises, and legal suppression to conceal operations while extracting information and leverage from their targets.Epstein's operation followed a parallel structure. Through Ghislaine Maxwell — Robert Maxwell's daughter — the same networks of access and intelligence may have carried forward into a different form of compromise: sexual blackmail rather than software surveillance. Epstein's properties were wired for monitoring, his connections spanned politics and finance, and his prosecution was undermined by plea deals and sealed files, much like PROMIS inquiries were stifled by classified reports and redactions. In both scandals, powerful people were protected, evidence was obscured, and key figures died under suspicious circumstances. The echoes between PROMIS and Epstein suggest not isolated scandals but a recurring playbook of intelligence tradecraft: fronts, leverage, secrecy, and coverups designed to protect those at the very top.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell has long been described as a master manipulator, someone who used her social status, charm, and connections to gain the trust of young women and to insulate Jeffrey Epstein from suspicion. As the daughter of publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, she was raised in wealth and influence, which she later leveraged to move seamlessly within elite circles. Prosecutors and survivors alike have painted her as the key facilitator of Epstein's trafficking network—someone who recruited, groomed, and normalized abusive behavior under the guise of mentorship, opportunity, and sophistication. Maxwell's ability to present herself as a glamorous, worldly figure made her effective at disarming victims and convincing them they were entering an exclusive world, when in reality, they were being exploited.Beyond grooming victims, Maxwell's manipulation extended into how she managed Epstein's social and professional relationships. She acted as his gatekeeper, connecting him with politicians, business leaders, and royalty, all while projecting the image of a respectable partner and hostess. Survivors testified that her approval carried enormous weight, as she blurred the line between legitimacy and exploitation, often making abuse seem like part of a privileged lifestyle. Even after her arrest, Maxwell tried to portray herself as a scapegoat, shifting blame and framing her actions as those of a loyal companion rather than an active participant. This pattern reinforced her reputation as someone who was not only complicit but uniquely skilled at controlling perceptions and bending reality to protect herself and Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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

Erin and Alyssa dive into the past of Epstein's right hand woman: Ghislaine Maxwell. From her father Robert Maxwell's shady business endeavors and questionable death, to schmoozing her way to the upper echelons of Manhattan's elite social scene, to trafficking minors for the most famously despicable sex pest of all time, this may be our most depraved, power-hungry pervert yet.

Ghislaine Maxwell is the youngest child of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, and she has several sisters who have kept lower profiles compared to her own notoriety. Among them are Isabel and Christine Maxwell, who were once prominent figures in the tech and business world. Christine co-founded the search engine Magellan in the 1990s and has worked in education and technology, while Isabel has also been active in digital enterprises and philanthropy. Both women have largely tried to distance themselves from the criminal scandals surrounding their sister Ghislaine, although their family name inevitably drags them into the broader narrative of the Maxwell legacy.Another Maxwell sister, Anne Maxwell, pursued a career in academia and publishing, living a more private life compared to Christine and Isabel. The sisters grew up in the shadow of their father's controversial empire and the scandal following his death in 1991, when Robert Maxwell drowned under mysterious circumstances after being accused of looting company pension funds. The Maxwell daughters, especially Christine and Isabel, attempted to rebuild the family's reputation through their professional careers, but Ghislaine's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and subsequent conviction further tainted the already troubled Maxwell name.Al Seckel, a former partner of Isabel Maxwell, was a writer and self-styled expert in optical illusions who moved in elite social circles, often connected to science and skepticism communities. Seckel's life ended under murky circumstances—he reportedly died in 2015 after a fall near his home in France, though questions have lingered about the exact details of his death due to his history of financial scandals and fraud allegations. His connection to the Maxwell family through Isabel added another layer of intrigue to the family's saga, intertwining themes of scandal, deception, and mystery that seem to recur throughout the Maxwell story.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
What's worse than a conspiracy theory? When the actual conspiracy is even worse than the theory. Jeffrey Epstein carried out a kompromat operation for years, capturing American elite, unleashing a national security nightmare, and destroying the lives of children. In this special episode with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, we examine Epstein, Trump, and Russia–and the threats that still remain from the real life QAnon. Epstein was the closest thing Trump had to a friend, going back to the 1980s. The rise of these criminal networks intertwined: Epstein, Trump, and Rudy Giuliani pushing out the Italian mafia as mayor of New York to make room for the Russian mafia–a takeover that accelerated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Epstein's wife-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was a documented KGB asset with a sideline in laundering Soviet billions, and reportedly also worked with Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, at a time when the Kremlin used the Jackson-Vanik amendment passed by Congress to release spies and criminal assets among the Jewish Soviet citizens, like Lautman's family, seeking refuge in the U.S. While Epstein's survivors beg for justice and promise to release their own list of elite pedophiles, the GOP continue the Epstein cover-up to protect convicted felon Trump, their battering ram against democracy. QAnon was deflection, fueled by Russian disinformation to protect their wrecking ball in the White House. Expect more Russian psyops as the far-right Epstein cover-up continues.

Ghost turns his focus to Jules Kroll, the man once dubbed the “CIA of Wall Street.” The episode traces Kroll's rise from cleaning up corporate graft in New York to building Kroll Associates, a private intelligence powerhouse that hired ex-CIA and FBI operatives and shaped global investigations. Ghost unpacks Kroll's ties to NewsGuard, its role in blacklisting independent media, and how its lead investor funnelled money into firms like Flashpoint that work with the FBI to target so-called “domestic extremists.” The discussion connects Kroll to Robert Maxwell, one of the last people to meet with him before his death, and to 9/11, where his firm ran World Trade Center security after the 1993 bombing. Ghost also highlights how Kroll's reach extended into Russian asset hunts under Yeltsin, kleptocrat cases from Marcos to Baby Doc, and the creation of a corporate intelligence industry built on secrets. With references to Trump's pause on FCPA enforcement, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the blurred lines between private intelligence and government psyops, this chapter reveals how deeply Jules Kroll's shadow runs through finance, geopolitics, and narrative warfare.
Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence officer, has long claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was not merely a wealthy predator but an intelligence asset, operating what he describes as a classic honey-trap operation. According to Ben-Menashe, Epstein's private island, jets, and mansions were not only indulgences but controlled environments designed for surveillance and kompromat collection. The young women Epstein exploited were bait, he argues, and the true currency was secrets—leverage over the powerful figures who entered Epstein's world. This interpretation reframes Epstein's unusual legal leniency and elite connections as signs of protection, not just influence or money, suggesting his utility to intelligence agencies made him untouchable for years.Ben-Menashe links Epstein's story to that of Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father, who he has also alleged was a Mossad asset, framing both men as part of a broader tradition of cultivating access to elites for covert purposes. While his claims are controversial and remain unverified, they persist because they provide a framework for understanding the unanswered questions around Epstein: how he gained such reach, why he escaped real consequences for so long, and why his downfall ended with his sudden death. Whether or not one accepts Ben-Menashe's account, it shifts the focus from Epstein as an isolated criminal to Epstein as a possible cog in a larger intelligence machine.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Robert Maxwell, born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch, was a British media proprietor, investor, and Member of Parliament. He was born on June 10, 1923, in Czechoslovakia (now part of Ukraine) to Jewish parents. Maxwell's early life was marked by the turmoil of World War II, during which he fought for the British Army.After the war, Maxwell started building his business empire, primarily in the publishing industry. He acquired Pergamon Press in 1951, which became the foundation of his media holdings. Over the years, Maxwell expanded his business interests into newspapers, including the acquisition of the Daily Mirror Group in 1984, making him one of Britain's most prominent media moguls.Maxwell was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charismatic personality, often attracting both admiration and criticism. He was a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970, representing Buckingham.However, Maxwell's business practices came under scrutiny, particularly concerning his use of employee pension funds to finance his various ventures. His companies' financial dealings were often opaque, and there were allegations of fraud and embezzlement.In 1991, Maxwell's empire came crashing down when he mysteriously disappeared while sailing on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, near the Canary Islands. His body was later found in the Atlantic Ocean, and the circumstances of his death remain controversial. Investigations revealed that Maxwell had been involved in massive financial fraud, with his companies being heavily indebted. The collapse of his empire led to significant financial losses for investors and employees.In this episode we once again pull the curtain back on the House Of Maxwell and get a glimpse of what's inside.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's tragic family life: From media tycoon father who died in the Atlantic and the millionaire siblings who suffered bankruptcy, divorce and early death as disgraced socialite appeals against her sex trafficking conviction | Daily Mail Online

Ghost continues the deep dive into the life and legacy of Robert Maxwell with returning guest Warhamster Brady. This second installment unpacks Maxwell's rags-to-riches rise, his tangled history with British intelligence, and his role in reshaping the scientific publishing world into a profit-driven system that still dominates today. The conversation explores Maxwell's ruthless wartime record, his creation of Pergamon Press, and how his publishing empire gave him the power to control narratives in science and media. From his ties to Mossad and espionage, to the financial schemes and scandals that led to his mysterious death at sea, this episode connects Maxwell's legacy to modern figures like Epstein and exposes the shadow networks of money, media, and manipulation that still shape global events.
She was born into wealth, luxury, and power… But behind the diamonds and designer clothes lurked something truly sinister. Ghislaine Maxwell wasn't just Epstein's confidante... She was his enabler, his hunter, and his partner in one of the darkest sex trafficking rings in modern history.In this video, we expose the chilling double life of the so-called “socialite of sin.” From high-society parties to private jets, Maxwell used her charm, influence, and money to lure vulnerable girls into Epstein's web of abuse. She wasn't just an accomplice... She was a predator hiding in plain sight.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.facebook.com/victimsrefusesilence/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffrehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lagohttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53268218https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/the-fall-of-ghislaine-maxwellhttps://www.courtlistener.com/https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article221404845.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/nyregion/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-little-st-james-island/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/epstein-island-jeffrey-sex-crimes-b1851226.htmlhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-03/epstein-s-private-islands-in-virgin-islands-sell-for-60-millionhttps://www.reuters.com/legal/ghislaine-maxwell-appeals-conviction-sentence-sex-trafficking-case-2023-07-11/https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-family-speaks-out-about-her-suicide-at-41-exclusive-11722711https://www.instagram.com/p/DH0vvDKzDvu/https://www.speakoutactreclaim.org/https://nypost.com/2025/04/26/world-news/jeffrey-epstein-victim-virginia-giuffre-wrote-she-was-not-suicidal/https://x.com/VRSVirginiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yURAdqdvb0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLBje7Fiwv4“Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” (Netflix, 2020)“Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” (Lifetime, 2020)“House of Maxwell” (BBC documentary series, 2022)“Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell” by John Preston

Tina Brown joins Daily Beast Executive Editor Hugh Dougherty to revisit the scandal she helped break wide open—Jeffrey Epstein—and how it now threatens to fracture MAGA from within. Brown, co-founder of The Daily Beast and former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, reflects on commissioning the explosive 2010 Epstein exposé that first named names like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Larry Summers. She recalls Epstein's chilling intimidation tactics—including showing up uninvited to her office—and explains how he leveraged social status, political donations, and kompromat to shield himself for decades. Brown also reveals that Ghislaine Maxwell was more socially visible than Epstein in the 1990s and how her husband exposed Robert Maxwell as a crooked businessman years earlier. As new revelations emerge—including that an FBI source warned Epstein “would never make it to trial”—Brown unpacks why this scandal still haunts Trump, whose bond with Epstein spanned 15 years. She describes how Trump's recent meltdown on Truth Social, dismissing his base as “weak” and “stupid,” signals a dangerous rupture. And with MAGA obsessed with pedophilia conspiracies, Brown warns: this may be the one scandal Trump can't shake—because for once, his base might not let him. Hosted on Acast.

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the possibility that the Trump administration will be releasing more on Jeffrey Epstein now, why the story really matters even if it isn't the most important story in the country or world, the need for journalists to stay on it and get to the truth, the nuances in the Epstein and Diddy story and why not all alleged victims are to be believed, the hypocrisy from some in the press who covered for Biden's cognitive decline now trying to spin Epstein to hurt Trump, and more. Then Vicky Ward, author of "The Idaho Four," joins to discuss the facts we know about whether Epstein was an intel asset or "belonged to intelligence," the significance of Ghislaine Maxwell's father Robert Maxwell, Alex Acosta's past non-answers, the details of Epstein's strange career path, how he supposedly got wealthy, the circles he ran in that included Ehud Barak and Bill Clinton, how he was able to get the cushy plea deal, how Epstein threatened her unborn children while she investigated his finances and real estate for Vanity Fair, how he infiltrated newsrooms to manipulate coverage, why his intimidation tactics went unchecked for years, new reporting about the roommate who was Bryan Kohberger's main target, his behavior mirroring past killers, how investigators used DNA technology to crack what was nearly the perfect crime, and more.
