A Case Study in Hypocrisy: Dan Bongino and Epstein (12/5/25)

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.DOCXBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn’t just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner’s personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can’t reconcile the numbers. These weren’t casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.But none of Epstein’s financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank’s compliance failures weren’t accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner’s access, Black’s money, and JPMorgan’s infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein’s financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn’t just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Lownie argues that Prince Andrew’s connection to Epstein was far deeper and longer-lasting than the prince has publicly admitted. According to Lownie, Andrew and his ex-wife met Epstein well before the date Andrew has claimed — their acquaintance likely began “almost a decade earlier” than his official story. Lownie claims Epstein exploited Andrew’s youth and status: describing Andrew as “easy prey,” he says Epstein used the prince for legitimacy, access, and business opportunities, while allegedly leveraging damaging material to exert influence — potentially even passing sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies.Beyond personal betrayal and manipulation, Lownie frames the Epstein-Andrew relationship as emblematic of systemic failure and hypocrisy at the heart of the royal establishment. He calls Andrew “self-entitled” and argues the prince has long acted with impunity, placing himself above normal rules. Lownie says the revelations — including alleged financial dealings, ongoing contact despite public denials, and deeply troubling allegations of sexual exploitation — demand a “full investigation” and a broader reckoning about institutional accountability and privilege.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew, the former prince, not out of legal trouble yetBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Congress obtaining Jeffrey Epstein’s banking records marks one of the most significant breakthroughs in the long-delayed financial side of the investigation. After years of stonewalling, federal agencies and major banks have finally begun turning over detailed transaction histories tied to Epstein’s accounts, including those held at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. Lawmakers say these records contain years of wire transfers, shell-company activity, large unexplained cash movements, and internal communications about Epstein’s status as a client. For the first time, congressional investigators will be able to trace how Epstein moved money, who benefited from those movements, and which institutions looked the other way while red flags piled up.The release of these records also signals a broader shift toward transparency after Congress passed legislation compelling agencies to hand over previously sealed material connected to Epstein and his network. Members of the oversight committees have stated that these financial disclosures could answer long-standing questions about who financially enabled Epstein, who may have participated in or profited from his criminal enterprises, and whether federal regulators failed to act despite knowing the gravity of the allegations. With Congress now in possession of the banking paperwork Epstein fought for decades to keep in the dark, the investigation is expected to accelerate — and the list of individuals and institutions with potential exposure is likely to grow, not shrink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers obtain Epstein banking records, release photos of his private island compound - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When the government files a brief in response to a defendant's appeal, its function is to present arguments and legal reasoning supporting the lower court's decision and opposing the defendant's arguments for overturning that decision. This brief serves to defend the conviction or ruling made against the defendant in the lower court.Typically, the government's brief will address the legal issues raised by the defendant on appeal, analyze relevant case law, statutes, and constitutional principles, and argue why the lower court's decision should be upheld. It may also address any procedural or evidentiary issues raised by the defendant.In essence, the government's brief is a key component of the appellate process, where both sides present their arguments to the appellate court, which will ultimately decide whether to affirm, reverse, or modify the lower court's decision.In this episode, we begin our look at the United States Governments brief in response to Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt at appealing her sentence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.ca2.57831.79.0_1.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
