Shamefully, newly uncovered emails show that Cecile de Jongh—former First Lady of the US Virgin Islands—invited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to weigh in on updates to the territory's sex offender registration laws. “This is the suggested language; will it work for you?” she reportedly wrote to Epstein in 2011, effectively soliciting his input on legislation meant to keep predators in check. Epstein responded with self-serving suggestions—like adding lenient residency exemptions—to protect his own freedom of movement. It's not just a grotesque incompetence—it reads like willful subversion from someone supposed to protect the public.Even more vile: de Jongh didn't merely dialogue with Epstein over legislature; she allegedly helped arrange visas and tailored ESL classes for young women linked to him, enabling his trafficking network. These revelations aren't isolated lapses—they reveal a deeply compromised system where powerful officials invited a predator into the law‑making process, trading public safety for personal access. The corruption isn't metaphorical—it's documented.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein consulted on Virgin Islands sex offender law (lawandcrime.com)

Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against her by a Jeffrey Epstein survivor, arguing that the claims are legally baseless and politically motivated. In her filing, Plaskett maintains that she had no involvement in Epstein's trafficking operation and that the plaintiff's allegations are speculative, unsupported by evidence, and fall outside the statute of limitations. Her legal team asserts that the lawsuit is an abuse of the judicial process, designed to smear her reputation and exploit her previous associations with the Virgin Islands government during the time Epstein operated there. Plaskett categorically denies any wrongdoing and is seeking to have the case thrown out at the earliest stage.Critics, however, argue that Plaskett's motion sidesteps the deeper issue: the survivor's claim that Plaskett's political influence may have contributed to a broader effort to shield Epstein and his network from scrutiny while he operated in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The lawsuit ties her to the failure of local and federal officials to hold Epstein accountable, citing her past connections to officials who allegedly enabled his activities. While Plaskett insists she had no direct involvement, the motion to dismiss has sparked backlash from advocates who believe public figures with proximity to Epstein's orbit should be investigated rather than allowed to deflect scrutiny with procedural defenses. The case now hinges on whether the court will allow discovery or accept Plaskett's argument that the lawsuit lacks merit on its face.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 15154228_7.docx (courtlistener.com)

In the case Government of the United States Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Case No. 1:22-cv-10904-JSR), the U.S. Virgin Islands filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment arguing that JPMorgan Chase knowingly facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation by continuing to provide him with banking services despite mounting evidence of criminal conduct. The memorandum asserts that the bank had repeated opportunities to sever ties with Epstein but instead chose profit over compliance, turning a blind eye to suspicious transactions, large cash withdrawals, and internal warnings. The Government contends that JPMorgan ignored numerous red flags—including sex abuse allegations and Epstein's 2008 conviction—because he was viewed as a “high-value client,” thereby making the bank legally and financially liable for aiding and abetting his criminal enterprise.Additionally, JPMorgan, acting as a Third-Party Plaintiff, has tried to shift blame to James “Jes” Staley, its former senior executive, claiming he misled the bank about Epstein's behavior and maintained an unusually close relationship with the disgraced financier. The Virgin Islands government argues, however, that JPMorgan's own internal communications and compliance failures show the misconduct was institutional, not isolated to Staley. Their summary judgment motion aims to have the court rule, without trial, that JPMorgan violated anti-trafficking and anti-money laundering laws, positioning the bank as a central financial enabler of Epstein's decades-long abuse. This motion, if granted, would significantly advance the territory's case and increase pressure on the bank to settle or face further reputational and legal fallout.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - MSJ BRIEF 7.24.23 Final WORD_Highlighted Black for Redactions (bwbx.io)

The civil complaint filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Prince Andrew in 2021 alleged that he sexually abused her on multiple occasions when she was 17 years old, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network. The lawsuit, filed in New York under the Child Victims Act, claimed that Prince Andrew knowingly engaged in sexual acts with Giuffre despite being aware that she was being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre alleged that the abuse occurred in Epstein's New York townhouse, in London at Ghislaine Maxwell's residence, and in the Virgin Islands. The complaint painted a damning picture of a royal using his status and connections to exploit a vulnerable girl, shielded by a global web of power and silence.Prince Andrew publicly denied the allegations, claiming he had no recollection of meeting Giuffre—even though a widely circulated photo shows them together with Maxwell in the background. Rather than face a public trial and legal discovery, Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in early 2022, reportedly for several million dollars, without admitting guilt. The settlement effectively ended the case but left critical questions unanswered, including whether others in Epstein's orbit facilitated or knew of the abuse. The lawsuit against Prince Andrew marked a rare instance where someone of global stature and diplomatic immunity faced direct legal consequences tied to Epstein's trafficking ring, though many critics saw the quiet settlement as another example of privilege avoiding accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Final Giuffre v.

In a striking admission that further complicates his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, former JPMorgan Chase executive Jes Staley has acknowledged under oath that he had a sexual relationship with a woman who worked for Epstein. The revelation came during recent legal proceedings tied to the high-profile litigation brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, which has accused JPMorgan of knowingly enabling Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Staley had previously maintained that his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional, but this admission shatters that narrative and raises new questions about his conduct during his time at the bank. The woman in question was part of Epstein's staff, and while Staley insists the relationship was consensual and involved an adult, the disclosure underscores the murky boundaries and troubling power dynamics at play within Epstein's circle.This development places even greater scrutiny on JPMorgan, which continues to face reputational and legal fallout for its years-long financial relationship with Epstein. Internal emails between Staley and Epstein—some of which allegedly contained coded language and disturbing references—have already been introduced as evidence suggesting a far deeper connection than previously disclosed. Staley's admission may not only damage his credibility but could also strengthen claims that JPMorgan executives ignored red flags in order to maintain a lucrative client relationship. As pressure builds on institutions that facilitated Epstein's operations, Staley's testimony has become a key flashpoint in exposing how deeply entangled some of the world's most powerful financial players were in Epstein's criminal network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ex-Barclays boss Jes Staley admits having sex with Jeffrey Epstein's employee in New York building where paedophile trafficked underage girls | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's wealth has long been shrouded in secrecy, speculation, and inconsistencies. Despite presenting himself as a billionaire financier, no one has ever been able to definitively explain how Epstein made his fortune. He claimed to manage the wealth of billionaires, yet no verified client list has ever surfaced—aside from limited associations like Les Wexner, who later distanced himself. Epstein's financial records revealed only vague structures: trusts, shell companies, offshore accounts, and tangled partnerships that seemed designed to obscure rather than clarify. His apparent lack of a legitimate client base, coupled with his lavish lifestyle and real estate empire, raised persistent questions that were never adequately answered.Even prosecutors struggled to untangle the full scope of his financial network. His assets were housed across multiple jurisdictions, including the Virgin Islands, New York, and various offshore havens. Investigations found layers of LLCs, obscure investment vehicles, and unexplained cash flows that complicated any attempt at transparency. There were credible suspicions that Epstein's fortune was not purely financial in nature but rather tied to his leverage over powerful individuals—possibly through blackmail, information trafficking, or other covert arrangements. The deeper authorities dug, the more opaque the picture became, leaving Epstein's true sources of wealth as murky and suspicious as the crimes he was accused of.to contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/business/jeffrey-epstein-deutsche-bank.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the case Government of the United States Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Case No. 1:22-cv-10904-JSR), the U.S. Virgin Islands filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment arguing that JPMorgan Chase knowingly facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation by continuing to provide him with banking services despite mounting evidence of criminal conduct. The memorandum asserts that the bank had repeated opportunities to sever ties with Epstein but instead chose profit over compliance, turning a blind eye to suspicious transactions, large cash withdrawals, and internal warnings. The Government contends that JPMorgan ignored numerous red flags—including sex abuse allegations and Epstein's 2008 conviction—because he was viewed as a “high-value client,” thereby making the bank legally and financially liable for aiding and abetting his criminal enterprise.Additionally, JPMorgan, acting as a Third-Party Plaintiff, has tried to shift blame to James “Jes” Staley, its former senior executive, claiming he misled the bank about Epstein's behavior and maintained an unusually close relationship with the disgraced financier. The Virgin Islands government argues, however, that JPMorgan's own internal communications and compliance failures show the misconduct was institutional, not isolated to Staley. Their summary judgment motion aims to have the court rule, without trial, that JPMorgan violated anti-trafficking and anti-money laundering laws, positioning the bank as a central financial enabler of Epstein's decades-long abuse. This motion, if granted, would significantly advance the territory's case and increase pressure on the bank to settle or face further reputational and legal fallout.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - MSJ BRIEF 7.24.23 Final WORD_Highlighted Black for Redactions (bwbx.io)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell is suing Epstein's estate for legal fees to defend her from allegations of being part of not only the day-to-day operations but also as a co-conspirator.This latest move by Maxwell is another slap in the face to the survivors or Epstein's abuse.

In this gripping episode, I'm diving deep into the labyrinthine darkness surrounding Jeffrey Epstein – a name synonymous not just with unfathomable evil, but with a global network of wealth, power, and deeply disturbing secrets. From his enigmatic rise from a modest background to his intimate connections with presidents, royalty, tech moguls, and whispers of intelligence agencies, I'll peel back the layers of Epstein's life. We'll explore how his alleged "financial firm" was a front for a sophisticated blackmail operation, gathering compromising material on the world's most powerful individuals. But the core of this investigation lies in "The Epstein Files" themselves: the sealed court documents, FBI evidence, and rumored surveillance tapes that hold the key to who was involved, what they did, and why this truth remains so fiercely suppressed. I'll reveal the shocking details that have emerged from recent civil lawsuits in the U.S. Virgin Islands, implicating major financial institutions and hinting at a systemic failure to hold the powerful accountable. This isn't just a story about a convicted pedophile; it's a profound examination of power, corruption, and the fight for justice in a world where the elite seem to operate above the law. Join me as I demand transparency, because when it comes to the Epstein Files, the truth is rarely what it seems, and the public has a right to know. Learn more about your ad choices.

JPMorgan Chase ended up spending at least $20 million in legal fees as part of its $75 million settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands over allegations of facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations. This settlement included $55 million for local victim and enforcement programs, $10 million dedicated to mental health services for survivors, and $20 million explicitly earmarked for covering legal expenses tied to defending those claimsIn addition, the bank incurred substantial legal costs defending itself in a class-action lawsuit by Epstein's victims, which resulted in a separate $290 million settlement. Although detailed breakdowns of legal fees for that settlement aren't public, internal figures indicate that JPMorgan paid over $1 billion in total legal expenses over a recent six-month period, driven in large part by litigation related to Epstein and other controversies.(commercial at 7:20)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan legal fees in Jeffrey Epstein sex traffick cases revealed (cnbc.com)

Leon Black, the former cofounder of Apollo Global Management with deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, has donated significant sums to the IPI—reportedly at least $950,000—in a pattern that closely mirrors Epstein's own shadowy funding of the institute. Even though Black has attempted to distance himself publicly, the conduit appears to have been deliberately opaque: donations through intermediaries, anonymity, and minimal disclosure have raised flags among those investigating Epstein's network. These contributions come under scrutiny not only because Epstein was involved in brokering them but also because the donations were structured to conceal the true source and avoid public recognition.Meanwhile, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden has escalated concerns by requesting documents from the DOJ, Treasury, and FBI about Black's financing of Epstein's operations. Wyden's investigation revealed that Black transferred at least $170 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017—far exceeding the $158 million previously acknowledged—and that some of those funds directly supported Epstein's operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 2023, Black settled claims with the USVI by paying $62.5 million—a case that stated some of his payments were used to fund Epstein's illicit activities on Little St. James Island. Critics argue that the use of IPI and other charitable vehicles to mask these funds reflects a deliberate effort to launder legitimacy onto Epstein's network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dn.no/politikk/the-international-peace-institute/jeffrey-epstein/terje-rod-larsen/leon-black-did-like-his-adviser-jeffrey-epstein-gave-anonymously-to-un-affiliated-think-tank/2-1-897114

DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. When most people imagine the Caribbean, they think of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, rum cocktails, and vibrant island music. The idea of violent crime, drugs, and federal law enforcement operations rarely comes to mind. But behind the postcard-perfect scenery, the Caribbean plays a major role in the global drug trade, and with it, comes a dangerous underworld of money, guns, and organized crime. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent Jack McFarland knows this world all too well. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Jack spent over three decades in the trenches with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). From his early days as a football coach and teacher to chasing drug traffickers through the Caribbean, his story reflects the global reach of America's drug war, and the brave men and women fighting it on the front lines. Now retired and a keynote speaker, Jack shares stories from his work with the DEA, including international interdiction operations, violent shootouts, and the complex partnership between the DEA and the police in the Caribbean. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Hidden Drug Highway in Paradise. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. “The Caribbean is beautiful, but it's also a major hub in the global drug trade,” Jack said during a recent appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, and major TV and podcast platforms. Much of the Caribbean lies along major smuggling routes between South America and the United States. Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin often move by sea, carried in everything from high-speed boats to drug submarines. Once in the Caribbean, the drugs are repackaged and rerouted, often with the help of armed criminal groups. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. As a Supervisory Special Agent with the DEA's Caribbean Division, Jack helped lead operations that intercepted everything from cartel-run aircraft to high-seas smuggling vessels. One of the division's most notable seizures came on March 31, 2014, when the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF) intercepted a Zodiac-type vessel off Dorado, Puerto Rico. On board? Two Venezuelan nationals and 1,774 kilograms of cocaine. “These arrests are a clear indication of the continued success of the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force,” said Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. “This is just another example of the fine work our state and federal law enforcement partners accomplish every day.” When Interdiction Turns Violent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Not all operations end smoothly. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. On November 17, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents engaged in a shootout while trying to intercept a suspicious vessel near Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. As agents approached, a gun battle broke out, leaving one DEA partner agent dead, others wounded, and two U.S. citizens arrested after over 1,300 kilograms of cocaine were recovered. It's a grim reminder that the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean isn't just about seizures, it's a deadly, high-stakes war against violent criminals. The Broader Impact of Crime in the Caribbean Many are shocked to learn that the Caribbean is one of the most violent regions in the Americas. Fueled by transnational gangs, economic struggles, and a deterioration of social structures, violent crime has exploded in several countries. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. In Haiti, where gangs have seized control of much of the capital, over 2,500 people were killed or injured in just the first quarter of 2024. This disturbing trend has sparked deep concern among Caribbean leaders. At a recent Caribbean Community (Caricom) summit, regional heads of state cited “levels of crime and violence... fueled in part by firearms and ammunition trafficking, transnational criminal networks, and a deterioration of social structures.” DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Jack puts it bluntly: “Where there are drugs, there are guns. And with guns, there's always violence.” The DEA's Mission in the Caribbean The Drug Enforcement Administration, established in 1973 during President Nixon's war on drugs, is the lead U.S. agency for combatting illegal narcotics. While most Americans associate DEA operations with big city drug busts or cartels, the agency plays a vital role in the Caribbean, partnering with local and international police forces to stop the flow of drugs into the U.S. The DEA Caribbean Division covers a wide area, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, the Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and others. Its mission is not just enforcement, but also coordination, training local police, gathering intelligence, and working alongside global partners. With units like the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force, the DEA focuses on interdiction, cutting off drug shipments before they reach U.S. soil.

DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Before he was chasing smugglers, Jack McFarland was a high school teacher and football coach. His path from the classroom to DEA headquarters in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is a testament to how varied law enforcement careers can be. From his early work in Philadelphia to leading international operations out of Baltimore, Jack has lived a life filled with purpose, and danger. Now retired, he uses his experience to speak, consult, and train law enforcement agencies across the country and beyond. He's also active on various social media platforms, where he shares insights on crime, policing, and global drug trends. Modern-Day Pirates and Real-World Consequences While pirates might sound like a fantasy from the past, modern-day piracy is a real concern in the Caribbean. Smugglers and traffickers are often armed, mobile, and ruthless. Some target commercial vessels; others engage in violent turf wars on land. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In fact, many violent crimes across the region are tied to gang warfare over drug territory, made more deadly by a steady influx of weapons. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. The DEA, working closely with the police in the Caribbean, continues to be a frontline force in stemming this tide. But as Jack McFarland reminds us, “This isn't a job for the faint of heart. It's dangerous, complicated, and essential.” Behind the island sunsets and steel drum music lies a battle that few tourists ever see. The DEA and the police in the Caribbean are locked in a constant struggle against violent drug traffickers who exploit the region's geography for global operations. But thanks to seasoned agents like Jack McFarland and dedicated Caribbean law enforcement officers, progress continues.

Just two days before his death, Jeffrey Epstein signed a last will and testament placing more than $577 million in assets into a trust known as The 1953 Trust, named after his birth year. The will, filed in the U.S. Virgin Islands, listed his extensive holdings, including cash, equities, hedge fund investments, and high-end real estate in Manhattan, Palm Beach, Paris, New Mexico, and the Caribbean. By moving his fortune into a trust, Epstein made it significantly harder for his victims or prosecutors to access the assets directly through legal action, shielding his wealth behind layers of privacy.The will named two longtime Epstein associates—Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn—as executors, both of whom had close financial and legal ties to him for years. Critics immediately questioned the timing and secrecy, viewing it as a strategic move to protect his estate from victim compensation claims and government seizure. The creation of the trust also sparked concern among attorneys representing survivors, who feared it would obstruct justice and delay reparations. The move exemplified the kind of legal maneuvering Epstein was known for, even in death—securing the secrecy of his finances and shielding his inner circle from full exposure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comDisplayFile.aspx (vicourts.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Marcus Norman, Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and host of the Gentleman Style Podcast. Marcus shares a compelling journey that began on the small island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he started working at age 10 to help support his father. He opens up about how growing up with grit, hustle, and purpose shaped his mindset and work ethic, eventually leading him into the U.S. Navy where he served eight years as a submarine sailor. Marcus reveals how the discipline and structure of military life helped him mature and sharpen his entrepreneurial instincts, especially in areas like real estate and personal finance. After leaving the military, Marcus began house hacking his way through multiple properties, ultimately selling them to invest in his newest venture: Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, a fast-growing mental health franchise. He dives into the challenges and rewards of entering the healthcare space with no clinical background, scaling a business built around purpose, and building an organization that attracts both clients and top-tier therapists. From navigating the depths of the ocean to navigating the complexities of mental health care, Marcus's story is an inspiring reminder of what it means to lead with resilience, purpose, and relentless self-growth.Website-www.gentlemanstylepodcast.com Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.facebook.com/gentlemansvizion/https://www.instagram.com/gentlemanstylepodcast/?hl=en

In 2023, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay a combined total of $365 million to resolve two major lawsuits stemming from its years-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The first was a $290 million class-action settlement with nearly 200 Epstein survivors who accused the bank of enabling Epstein's trafficking operation by continuing to provide him with financial services even after his 2008 sex crime conviction. A separate $75 million settlement was reached with the U.S. Virgin Islands, which had sued JPMorgan for allegedly facilitating Epstein's criminal enterprise within the territory. The bank did not admit wrongdoing in either case but agreed to pay out substantial funds to avoid prolonged litigation, including money earmarked for victim services, law enforcement anti-trafficking efforts, and legal fees.The ramifications of these settlements were far-reaching. JPMorgan's internal handling of the Epstein account came under public and regulatory scrutiny, especially after revelations that senior executives—including Mary Erdoes—ignored repeated warnings and had the authority to sever ties with Epstein years earlier but chose not to. The cases revealed systemic failures in compliance and oversight, severely damaging the bank's reputation and forcing it to review its internal controls. Former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley, who had a close relationship with Epstein, also became a central figure in the scandal and now faces separate legal action. These outcomes sent a powerful signal to the financial industry: enabling or turning a blind eye to human trafficking and abuse for the sake of profit comes with a steep price.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan's Epstein settlement will change how all banks act (afr.com)

Stacey Plaskett's long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates is far more damning than she publicly admits—and no amount of political backpedaling can wash the stench off. As revealed in depositions and legal filings, Plaskett personally solicited a $30,000 donation from Epstein in 2018, visiting his Manhattan mansion years after his 2008 sex crime conviction was national news. The money was initially accepted and only returned when it failed vetting. Plaskett's ties to Epstein run deeper than a one-off meeting; she previously worked at the law firm of Erika Kellerhals, Epstein's personal attorney in the Virgin Islands, and later became a key figure in the same Economic Development Authority that granted Epstein's companies hundreds of millions of dollars in tax benefits. Her claim that she had no idea who or what Epstein really was, even as she stood in his house asking for money, is beyond implausible—it's insulting.Even worse, Plaskett is the only individual still facing active civil litigation from Epstein victims after a federal judge tossed out broader claims against the Virgin Islands government but allowed the trafficking-related counts to proceed against her personally. That's not a smear—it's a legal reality. The survivors accuse her of helping facilitate an environment that enabled Epstein to operate with impunity in the territory, and the court agrees there's enough meat on those allegations to warrant a trial. Her attempt to sanitize the donations by giving them to charity doesn't erase the fact that she sought out Epstein's support well after he was a registered sex offender. Plaskett's carefully managed public persona as a crusader for justice clashes violently with the uncomfortable accusation: she helped normalize, enable, and politically legitimize a known predator, and now she's scrambling to rewrite history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Jeffrey Epstein's Island Politics Helped Elect Stacey Plaskett (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In early 2023, JPMorgan filed a lawsuit against Jes Staley—its former head of investment banking—alleging he misled the bank about Jeffrey Epstein's illicit activities in order to preserve Epstein as a high-value client. According to court filings, Staley vouched for Epstein and downplayed troubling behavior, even though internal communications indicated suspicion of criminal conduct by Epstein. The bank asserts it is seeking reimbursement from Staley for any financial penalties or settlements it may incur due to this alleged cover-up, emphasizing that he acted beyond his authority and jeopardized both the bank's legal standing and reputationIn March 2025, a federal judge in Manhattan rejected Staley's attempt to dismiss JPMorgan's claims, allowing the lawsuit to proceed. The judge ruled that the bank provided sufficient evidence to move forward, including references to Staley's personal involvement with Epstein's accounts and his potential knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoing. JPMorgan is aiming to hold Staley personally liable for losses tied to both the U.S. Virgin Islands' case and separate claims from an alleged Epstein victim. A formal written explanation from the court is expected to clarify the legal basis for the decision.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JP Morgan sues former executive over claims he hid Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Cecile de Jongh, the former First Lady of the U.S. Virgin Islands and wife of ex-governor John de Jongh Jr., has faced serious allegations regarding her long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. According to court filings, she served as Epstein's office manager for nearly two decades and acted as his primary intermediary with local government officials and regulators. She allegedly helped secure favorable treatment for Epstein, including influencing legislation related to sex offender monitoring in ways that appeared tailored to benefit him. Internal emails reveal she worked directly with Epstein on proposed changes to Virgin Islands sex offender laws and personally asked for waivers on his behalf to avoid compliance requirements.Additionally, de Jongh is accused of facilitating educational opportunities for young women linked to Epstein, helping them obtain student visas and university placements in the territory. She also reportedly accepted financial benefits from Epstein, including tuition payments for her children and coverage of other personal expenses. These allegations form part of a broader picture painted by lawsuits and investigations suggesting that Epstein maintained a powerful and protected presence in the Virgin Islands, not just through financial institutions like JPMorgan, but through embedded local relationships with figures like de Jongh who allegedly helped shield him from scrutiny and legal accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Cecile de Jongh Files Motion to Dismiss N.Y.

Jes Staley, the former private banking head at JPMorgan, found himself at the center of explosive litigation tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. JPMorgan sued Staley in 2023, alleging he misled the bank about his relationship with Epstein and helped protect Epstein's status as a high-value client, all while hiding his knowledge of Epstein's predatory behavior. The bank sought to claw back over $80 million in compensation. Staley denied wrongdoing, but the case placed immense pressure on JPMorgan, which simultaneously faced lawsuits from Epstein victims and the U.S. Virgin Islands over its financial ties to the disgraced financier. In the end, JPMorgan reached a confidential settlement with Staley, avoiding a prolonged courtroom spectacle.But the fallout for Staley didn't end there. In the U.K., financial regulators had imposed a lifetime ban and multi-million-pound fine, accusing him of misleading authorities by claiming his relationship with Epstein was purely professional. That claim unraveled when evidence surfaced showing personal emails and inappropriate communications, including messages involving Staley's daughter. A tribunal upheld the regulatory ban, calling his conduct reckless and lacking integrity. Simultaneously, a class-action suit in the U.S. advanced, alleging that both Staley and Barclays misled investors by failing to disclose the depth of his Epstein ties before his appointment as CEO. The legal and reputational consequences continue to pile up for a man once seen as untouchable in elite banking circles.source:JP Morgan sues former executive over claims he hid Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse | Daily Mail Online

Jeffrey Epstein's probation terms following his 2008 conviction were astonishingly lenient, especially given the gravity of the charges. Despite being labeled a sex offender, Epstein was allowed to serve just 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Jail, with most of that time spent outside the facility under a “work release” privilege. He was permitted to leave the jail for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week, supposedly for professional obligations—an arrangement virtually unheard of for registered sex offenders. During these hours, Epstein operated from a private office where he allegedly continued to receive young female visitors, all while being “supervised” by deputies who largely looked the other way.The terms of his probation were equally toothless. Epstein was granted permission to travel extensively between his residences in New York, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands with minimal oversight. He was required to register as a sex offender, but compliance was inconsistent and, in some jurisdictions, poorly enforced. He didn't wear an ankle monitor, and his communications and finances were largely unmonitored, allowing him to continue managing his wealth and potentially facilitating further abuse. In effect, the probation conditions seemed tailored not to restrict Epstein, but to preserve his lifestyle—highlighting a justice system that bent over backward to accommodate a wealthy predator while failing the dozens of girls he had exploited.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Discipline Child — a wildly custom 1955 Volkswagen Beetle owned by Cali Springer, originally from the Virgin Islands. What began as a simple inquiry about fuel injection turned into a one-of-a-kind build by Alvin Lawrence of Auto Fanatic, also hailing from the islands. This isn't your typical classic VW Beetle. Discipline Child features a Subaru engine swap, full air suspension, electric air conditioning sourced from a Tesla, and a top-tier custom sound system. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail reflects the dedication and discipline it took to see this project through to the end. From the island roots to the custom Budnik wheels, this car blends old-school air-cooled Volkswagen soul with cutting-edge modern tech — and it's all done in true island style.

Teala Davies alleges that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her beginning when she was 17 years old, after luring her in under the guise of offering support and mentorship. She claims Epstein flew her around the world on his private jet and brought her to his properties in New York, New Mexico, Florida, Paris, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the abuse took place repeatedly. Davies says the sexual abuse was not only frequent but psychologically damaging, leaving her with lasting trauma and a sense of dependence that made it difficult to escape.Davies also alleges that Epstein transported her internationally as part of his trafficking network, presenting her as part of his entourage while continuing the abuse behind closed doors. She says the relationship was marked by coercion rather than consent, and that she experienced ongoing trauma as a result. Her legal complaint outlines long-term emotional damage, citing flashbacks, dissociation, and a persistent fear of retaliation. She has stated that the abuse only stopped when Epstein abruptly severed ties with her, leaving her to deal with the psychological wreckage on her own.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein photo: Alleged teen victim Teala Davies seen with Epstein in helicopter flying over U.S. Virgin Islands - CBS News

When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019, law enforcement seized mountains of evidence from his Manhattan townhouse and his estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands—including hard drives, CDs, labeled binders, photographs, surveillance footage, and detailed logs. These weren't just random items; many were explicitly marked with names and dates, suggesting a cataloging system designed to track interactions with specific individuals. The New York mansion alone had a safe full of disks labeled with things like “Young [Name] + [Name],” indicating potentially explosive material tied to Epstein's trafficking operation. Authorities also recovered surveillance equipment, raising the possibility that Epstein had been secretly recording his high-profile guests for leverage.And yet, years later, the public is still being told that there are “no files,” no names, and nothing more to investigate. How is that possible? What happened to the contents of those safes and hard drives? Why has none of it been released, indicted, or even seriously pursued in public view? The glaring disconnect between the overwhelming volume of material seized and the deafening silence about what it contained reeks of institutional cover-up.And the longer we're told it doesn't exist, the more obvious it becomes that the system isn't broken.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 340 with an emotional twist — Hotshot is moving from Snoqualmie to Sammamish, leaving behind years of memories, including the house where his daughter was raised. The two reflect on the sentimentality of leaving home and Scott's surprising inability to cry… except maybe after a World Series loss. The conversation pivots to the 340 area code — the U.S. Virgin Islands — leading to a trivia-filled celebration of Kelsey Grammer, Tim Duncan, Sugar Ray Seales, and Dave Matthews. Mitch connects the dots between obscure sports facts and Seattle's ties to musical legends, including a memorable story about Dave Matthews' tour bus incident. Steve Phillips joins to break down Cal Raleigh's MVP case. Raleigh's home run pace, elite defense, and the grueling Seattle travel schedule all contribute to a narrative that may rival Aaron Judge's candidacy — if Cal keeps up the pace and the M's stay in the playoff hunt. Hughes Norton stops by to revisit his rollercoaster ride as Tiger Woods' original super-agent. From landing the record-setting Nike and Titleist deals to being fired over the phone with no closure, Norton shares never-before-heard behind-the-scenes drama from his memoir Rainmaker. Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle returns. The guys react to a rollercoaster road trip, Joe's doomsday texts, and Cal's MVP surge. They debate whether Julio Rodriguez can be “just a singles hitter,” how much value Randy Arozarena has left, and what it'll take to reach the postseason.   GUESTS Steve Phillips | MLB Network & SiriusXM Analyst Hughes Norton | Author, Rainmaker Brady Farkas | Mariners No-Table, Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast Joe Doyle | Mariners No-Table, MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch grills Hotshot on taking time off to move.
