Even The Queen Couldn't Protect Andrew Forever

Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “model visa” scheme was a carefully engineered system that used the glamour of the modeling industry as a cover to import and control young women, many from overseas. Recruiters—often women in his inner circle—lured victims with promises of fashion careers, sometimes backed by legitimate-looking modeling agencies and brand associations like Victoria’s Secret. Once targeted, women were moved through a network of immigration loopholes, sham marriages, and legal paperwork that appeared legitimate to authorities. Epstein’s connections to modeling agents such as Jean-Luc Brunel expanded his international reach, while his money paid for immigration lawyers, housing, and travel to keep the operation running without attracting suspicion. This infrastructure allowed him to maintain a steady supply of victims under the protection of legal status, making escape difficult and silence almost certain.The system thrived in the blind spots between law enforcement agencies, exploiting the fact that visa fraud and marriage records are rarely scrutinized unless tied to larger investigations. Even after Epstein’s death, elements of this network remain intact: lawyers, recruiters, and agencies still in operation, and government files containing the hidden paper trail. Survivors face lingering consequences—fraudulent marriages, precarious immigration status, and the trauma of having their lives rewritten on paper to mask abuse. The scheme’s success shows how predators can twist legitimate systems into tools of exploitation, offering a blueprint that could be reused unless those vulnerabilities are confronted and closed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

If Donald Trump were to issue a presidential pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell for her federal crimes, the doctrine of dual sovereignty could allow the state of New York to pursue separate charges against her without violating the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. This legal principle recognizes that the federal government and state governments are distinct sovereigns, each with the authority to enforce their own laws. Therefore, a pardon at the federal level does not immunize a person from state prosecution for conduct that also violates state law. If Maxwell’s actions—such as recruiting and trafficking minors—also violated New York state statutes, she could face a new, independent indictment from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office or New York Attorney General, regardless of the federal pardon.New York has already demonstrated its willingness to pursue high-profile sex trafficking and abuse cases, particularly when federal accountability fails or falters. The state has broad human trafficking, sexual abuse, and child endangerment laws that overlap with Maxwell’s federally convicted conduct. If prosecutors believe there is sufficient evidence that Maxwell’s crimes occurred within New York’s jurisdiction or harmed residents of the state, they could initiate charges anew under state law. In fact, the political and public appetite for state-level accountability could intensify following a federal pardon, as it would be seen by many as a miscarriage of justice. In that case, dual sovereignty becomes not just a legal tool—but a last-resort mechanism to ensure that Maxwell still faces consequences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The financial sector didn’t just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein’s connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn’t just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn’t just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The third amended complaint filed in the Southern District of New York involves six plaintiffs—Jane Does 1 through 6—who have brought claims against Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, acting as co-executors of the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the estate itself and other unnamed defendants. The case, docketed as No. 1:19-cv-07675-GBD, seeks a jury trial and continues the broader wave of litigation aimed at holding Epstein’s estate accountable for his long history of alleged sexual abuse and exploitationThe complaint underscores the plaintiffs’ pursuit of justice against Epstein’s estate following his death, placing responsibility on those managing his assets to provide restitution for the harm they allege they suffered. By naming “Roes 2–10,” the filing also leaves room for additional defendants who may later be identified as complicit in Epstein’s crimes or responsible for enabling his conduct. This legal action highlights the ongoing efforts by Epstein’s victims to find accountability in civil court, given that his death cut short criminal proceedings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.521195.45.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s claims that her emails were hacked and manipulated to fabricate evidence against her appear to be a last-ditch attempt to rewrite history and cast doubt on overwhelming evidence of her complicity in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Given the extensive testimonies, flight logs, and corroborating documents presented during her trial, the idea that hacked emails could meaningfully alter the case seems both convenient and implausible. It smacks of desperation, a calculated move to muddy the waters rather than a genuine revelation of wrongdoing. Without substantial proof beyond vague assertions, Maxwell’s claims amount to little more than an attempt to deflect responsibility and prolong legal battles rather than addressing the gravity of her actions.The involvement of the Public Corruption Unit (PCU) in Ghislaine Maxwell’s prosecution raised eyebrows, given that the unit typically handles cases involving government officials, bribery, and misconduct in the public sector. This led to speculation that Maxwell’s case had deeper political or institutional ties, potentially implicating powerful figures beyond Jeffrey Epstein. While some viewed this as a sign that federal authorities were prepared to pursue high-profile individuals connected to Epstein’s trafficking network, others suspected that the PCU’s role suggested an effort to control the fallout and limit exposure of elite figures. Despite these theories, Maxwell’s trial focused squarely on her own criminal actions, with no major political figures facing charges—further fueling skepticism about whether the full scope of Epstein’s operation was truly being investigated or if the legal system was containing the damage rather than exposing it entirely.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A former U.S. intelligence officer, Allan Starkie, publicly said he was willing to swear under oath that Prince Andrew really didn’t sweat — or at least appeared not to — on a night they spent together dancing in a London nightclub. Starkie described the scene: despite warm conditions and heavy fabrics, and despite others perspiring heavily, Prince Andrew allegedly remained “bone-dry” even after repeated dances. This anecdote was cited as potential corroboration for Andrew’s claim that he suffers or suffered from a condition preventing him from sweating.However, the claim triggered skepticism — especially among medical experts and critics — because sweating (or lack thereof) under such circumstances is highly unusual. While true medical conditions like anhidrosis (lack of sweating) do exist, many experts say a temporary inability to sweat, invoked by Andrew via a traumatic “adrenaline overdose” from combat, doesn’t comport with known physiology. As a result, Starkie’s recollection stirred public debate over whether the sweating-claim was a credible alibi or a desperate dodge — casting further doubt on Andrew’s denials of the abuse allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In March 2022, the council had planned a vote to remove Prince Andrew’s “Freedom of the City of York” honour — a symbolic title granted in 1987. However, just before the meeting, a coronavirus outbreak struck among several councillors. Because of that, the extraordinary meeting was first moved online, then cancelled altogether. The outbreak effectively derailed the council’s effort to act immediately, postponing any decision until a later date.When the council reconvened, the vote finally took place in late April 2022 — and the council voted unanimously to strip him of the honour. That removal marked a public, formal severing of his civic link to York. The delay caused by COVID had bought a few weeks of limbo, but ultimately did not prevent the council from following through on its plan once public-health conditions allowed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
