Morning Update: Ghislaine Maxwell Eligible For Work Release And The Administration Passes The Epstein Buck (8/13/25)

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/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.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Reports indicate that Steve Bannon conducted roughly 15 hours of recorded interviews with Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, just months before Epstein’s death. According to journalist Michael Wolff’s book Too Famous, Bannon was allegedly coaching Epstein for a planned 60 Minutes interview that never materialized. Wolff claims Bannon advised Epstein on how to appear more sympathetic to the public and frame his crimes as “misunderstood” rather than predatory. Bannon, however, has denied coaching Epstein, insisting the footage was meant for a documentary project exposing Epstein’s “darkness” and the elites around him. Portions of the recordings reportedly show Bannon questioning Epstein about his social network and political ties, adding to speculation about how closely the two interacted during that period.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In his analysis for the Autopsy television special, Dr. Hunter concluded that Epstein’s injuries were consistent with suicide, not homicide, though he emphasized that the case was riddled with anomalies that “rightfully raise suspicion.” Hunter reviewed the autopsy photos, injury reports, and toxicology findings released by New York officials and determined that the hyoid bone fractures—which Dr. Michael Baden claimed were more typical of strangulation—could also occur in older men who hang themselves, particularly given Epstein’s age and the height of his cell bunk. Hunter said the blood pooling, ligature marks, and asphyxial patterning on the neck aligned with hanging but acknowledged the environment and timing of Epstein’s death made it “one of the most poorly managed high-profile incarcerations in modern American history.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A woman named Sarah Kellen (also known in some reports as Sarah Kellen Vickers) is widely described in legal filings and media accounts as Maxwell’s principal assistant or “lieutenant.” She is alleged to have managed recruitment logistics, scheduled “appointments,” arranged travel between properties owned by Epstein and Maxwell, and served as a gatekeeper for young women entering that circle. For example, an Economic Times profile says Kellen “has long been described as one of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s closest lieutenants, playing a role that survivors say went far beyond that of an assistant.”But while Kellen is regularly labelled as the lieutenant, her status remains strikingly unsettled from a criminal-justice perspective: despite repeated naming in civil suits, depositions and media coverage, she has not been criminally charged (at least publicly) to the same extent as Maxwell. That gap raises major questions: either law-enforcement chose not to pursue her, or the evidence against her has been insufficient (or suppressed) for prosecution. As one commentary in The Telegraph put it, “The name Sarah Kellen came up time and time again … yet she is still walking free.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
