Mega Edition: Judge Rakoff Makes A Ruling In The Survivors Suit Against USVI (Part 5-7) (1/25/26)
Judge Jed Rakoff approved a $290 million settlement between JPMorgan Chase and Jeffrey Epstein's victims, emphasizing that the case sent a strong message to the financial industry about the responsibilities of banking institutions. The settlement, which did not require JPMorgan to admit liability, resolved claims that the bank ignored red flags to maintain Epstein as a client, benefiting from his illegal activities from 1998 to 2013.The approval came after a last-minute challenge from 16 state attorneys general who objected to a clause in the settlement that prevented future claims by any "sovereign or government" on behalf of the victims. They argued that this could hinder future cases against sex trafficking perpetrators. However, Rakoff found the settlement terms clear and justified, dismissing the objections.The settlement also included a provision for the lawyers to receive 30% of the settlement amount in fees, which the judge deemed fair given the significant recovery for the plaintiffs. This settlement follows a similar case where Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle claims related to Epstein without admitting wrongdoing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.591653.130.0_1.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew Is Summoned To Balmoral For A Chat With His Mum The Queen
In early September 2020, amid growing scandal and public scrutiny over his associations with Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew traveled to Balmoral Castle to hold what was described as “crisis talks” with Queen Elizabeth II. This meeting was seen as a critical moment for the royal household, as the Queen and her advisors sought to manage the fallout from mounting allegations, including accusations by Virginia Giuffre and the widely publicized BBC Newsnight interview that followed. Sources at the time characterized the trip as an urgent effort to contain reputational damage and assess Andrew’s future role within the monarchy.Though details of the discussions were never made public, the visit marked the beginning of a permanent shift for Prince Andrew. In the wake of the scandal, he stepped back from public duties and relinquished many of his official roles and patronages. The Balmoral meeting highlighted the monarchy’s internal crisis and underscored the delicate balancing act between familial loyalty and institutional preservation as the royal family confronted one of its most serious controversies in decadesTo contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8692215/Duke-York-visited-Queen-Balmoral-crisis-talks-Jeffrey-Epstein.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Department Of Justice And Their Argument To Keep El Chapo Behind Bars (Part 26)
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

From Protecting Epstein to Killing Citizens: How Federal Power Learned It Was Untouchable (1/25/26)
At its core, this hypocrisy dovetails perfectly with the Epstein coverup because it reveals the same moral collapse that allows powerful institutions to operate without accountability while their defenders selectively invoke “law and order” only when it protects the state. The same voices who excuse a federal agent killing a legally armed citizen now are often the same ones who waved away the sweetheart plea deal, the sealed records, the missing cameras, the sleeping guards, and the vanishing evidence in Epstein’s case. In both situations, the pattern is identical: when the federal government abuses power against ordinary people, the so-called defenders of liberty suddenly become apologists for authority. When Epstein was protected, the system closed ranks, hid documents, misled courts, silenced victims, and insulated its own. When Pretti was killed, the instinct was the same: suppress oversight, shape the narrative, block investigators, and demand blind trust in federal actors. The Constitution becomes decorative when power is at stake, and rights become conditional when they interfere with institutional protection. In both cases, the message is unmistakable: there are citizens, and then there are subjects, and the line between them is drawn by who the government decides to protect and who it decides to sacrifice.This is what an out-of-control federal government actually looks like, not tanks in the streets, but bureaucracies that operate above consequence while their defenders cheer them on in the name of security, borders, or order. Epstein was not an accident of justice, he was a product of a system that learned it could hide crimes, bury evidence, intimidate oversight, and survive public outrage if it waited long enough. The shooting of Pretti shows that the same machinery now feels comfortable exercising lethal force first and explaining later, knowing that a loyal political audience will rationalize anything so long as the target is politically convenient. This is how republics rot, not in dramatic coups, but in quiet normalization of unchecked power. When people who once screamed about jack-booted thugs now celebrate federal executions, they are not defending the Constitution, they are surrendering it. The Epstein coverup and this killing are not separate scandals, they are symptoms of the same disease: a federal apparatus that no longer fears oversight, no longer respects limits, and no longer believes the Constitution applies when its own authority is on the line.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
