The Opinion And Order In The Lawsuit Brought By The Epstein Survivors Against JP Morgan (Part 5-7) (8/16/25)

The Opinion And Order In The Lawsuit Brought By The Epstein Survivors Against JP Morgan (Part 5-7) (8/16/25)

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.

Mega Edition:   Prince Andrew And His Seedy Circle Of "Friends"  (10/19/25)

Mega Edition: Prince Andrew And His Seedy Circle Of "Friends" (10/19/25)

During his time as the United Kingdom’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011, Prince Andrew developed several controversial connections in Libya that would later haunt his public image. Among them was his reported friendship with Tarek Kaituni, a convicted Libyan gun smuggler with ties to the Gaddafi regime. Kaituni allegedly acted as a middleman who facilitated introductions between Andrew and other Libyan figures, including members of Muammar Gaddafi’s inner circle. Multiple outlets have reported that Kaituni boasted of arranging meetings between Andrew and Gaddafi himself, raising questions about the prince’s judgment and whether his official role was used to court unsavory foreign contacts. The scrutiny deepened when reports surfaced of a £1 million payment connected to a Libyan-linked network that allegedly benefited Andrew, involving banker Selman Turk and intermediaries once associated with Kaituni.Prince Andrew’s name was once again dragged into scandal when reports surfaced linking him to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, businessman Yang Tengbo — also known by the codename “H6.” British security officials alleged that Yang used his relationship with the Duke of York to gain influence and access within elite circles, including royal events and private meetings at Buckingham Palace. Investigators later determined Yang was involved in covert activities on behalf of the Chinese government and banned him from the United Kingdom on national security grounds. While Andrew’s representatives claimed he ended all contact after the allegations surfaced, documents and testimonies suggested their connection ran deeper, including multiple meetings tied to trade and investment discussions during Andrew’s tenure as the U.K.’s Special Representative for International Trade.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The FBI Gets  Put On Blast For It's Handling Of The Epstein Investigation

The FBI Gets Put On Blast For It's Handling Of The Epstein Investigation

Over the years a growing number of victims and commentators have accused the FBI of gross negligence in handling tips, complaints, and reports about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking and abuse—failures that arguably allowed his network to flourish unchallenged for decades. In a 2024 lawsuit, 12 alleged victims (referred to as “Jane Does”) sued the U.S. government, claiming that the FBI “repeatedly and continuously” ignored credible reports from as early as 1996 through 2006, even though it received detailed allegations of sexual abuse, trafficking, and underage victims. They contend that despite evidence—photographs, videos, interviews—the bureau failed to open a proper investigation until July 2006, long after Epstein’s malicious activities had been widely reported.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Why  The Distrust In The Legacy Media Is At An All Time High

Why The Distrust In The Legacy Media Is At An All Time High

Public distrust in legacy media has surged over the past decade, driven largely by perceptions of bias, manipulation, and selective storytelling. Studies from the Reuters Institute and Pew Research Center show that audiences increasingly believe mainstream outlets push political or corporate agendas instead of objective truth. Over two-thirds of respondents in Reuters’ 2024 “Bias, Bullshit, and Lies” report said they view major networks as “too agenda-driven” and “out of touch” with the public. This skepticism deepened after repeated high-profile media failures—such as misreported stories, selective coverage of scandals, and the close ties between journalists and political power brokers—that reinforced the sense that mainstream journalism serves elites rather than the audience. Many consumers now see news organizations less as watchdogs and more as part of the same establishment they were supposed to hold accountable.Compounding this decline is the economic collapse of traditional journalism and the rise of the 24-hour digital cycle, which prioritizes clicks and engagement over verification and nuance. Shrinking newsroom budgets have led to the erosion of investigative reporting, replaced by punditry and algorithm-driven sensationalism. As newsrooms consolidate under a handful of corporate owners, audiences increasingly question whether editorial independence still exists. Meanwhile, social media has given rise to both alternative outlets and disinformation, further blurring the public’s ability to distinguish fact from narrative. The result is a fractured media landscape where trust is earned less through prestige and more through perceived authenticity—and for many, the old institutions have failed that test.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein And His Plot To Discredit The Investigation Into His Crimes

Jeffrey Epstein And His Plot To Discredit The Investigation Into His Crimes

Jeffrey Epstein’s network went far beyond trafficking and exploitation—it also included a sophisticated campaign to discredit, intimidate, and obstruct those investigating him. From the mid-2000s through 2019, Epstein and his lawyers waged a relentless public relations and legal offensive designed to undermine victims, stall prosecutors, and silence the press. Court documents and leaked communications reveal that Epstein’s inner circle—including Ghislaine Maxwell and his attorneys at firms like Black, Srebnick, Kornspan & Stumpf—used intimidation tactics, private investigators, and smear campaigns to paint accusers as liars or gold diggers. In one series of emails revealed by Bloomberg, Maxwell and Epstein discussed deploying damaging personal rumors to discredit accusers as “unstable” or “untrustworthy,” while threatening defamation suits against media outlets that covered the story. This coordinated effort to manipulate public perception was part of a larger strategy to delegitimize investigations, protect powerful allies, and preserve his social status within elite circles.Epstein also relied on legal obstruction and financial manipulation to blunt scrutiny. He deployed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), secret settlements, and strategic donations to law enforcement-connected charities to curry favor. Defense teams repeatedly sought to seal or suppress evidence, arguing that revealing details would “prejudice ongoing investigations.” In some cases, Epstein’s team even hired former intelligence and law enforcement officials to monitor reporters and intimidate witnesses. His influence extended into the judicial system through his now-infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement, which effectively shut down a federal probe and silenced dozens of victims. Even after his death, the DOJ and courts have continued to restrict access to key records, citing privacy or “ongoing investigations”—a fact many observers see as a continuation of Epstein’s disinformation playbook, protecting those who benefited from his silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Chaos That Ensued In The Aftermath Of Jeffrey Epstein's Death

Chaos That Ensued In The Aftermath Of Jeffrey Epstein's Death

On the morning of August 10, 2019, the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan descended into chaos after staff discovered Jeffrey Epstein unresponsive in his cell. According to reports and official investigations, the scene was mishandled from the start. Epstein was found around 6:30 a.m., but guards and supervisors failed to immediately secure the area or preserve it as a potential crime scene. Photos later released showed the cell cluttered with bedsheets, food containers, and scattered belongings—contradicting federal policy requiring an untouched environment until investigators arrive. Epstein’s body was removed before the FBI and NYPD crime-scene units reached the facility, and staff failed to photograph or log key evidence. The first FBI agents didn’t arrive until early afternoon, leaving nearly seven hours unaccounted for.Meanwhile, two correctional officers assigned to check on Epstein every 30 minutes were later found to have fallen asleep and falsified records to cover up their negligence. Two of the surveillance cameras outside Epstein’s cell malfunctioned that night, and another had corrupted footage, leaving major gaps in the timeline. A 2023 Department of Justice Inspector General report described “serious systemic failures,” citing understaffing, disorganization, and incompetence at nearly every level of the jail. Combined with the delayed emergency response and mishandled evidence, the confusion at MCC that morning has remained central to public skepticism about Epstein’s official cause of death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Man in Epstein's Cockpit: Larry Visoski’s 2009 Deposition (Part 14) (10/18/25)

The Man in Epstein's Cockpit: Larry Visoski’s 2009 Deposition (Part 14) (10/18/25)

In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims’ attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. Represented by Critton & Reinhardt, Visoski repeatedly emphasized that his duties were strictly professional: piloting aircraft, maintaining schedules, and ensuring safe transport. When pressed about the ages of female passengers, he claimed he never knowingly flew minors and denied witnessing any sexual activity or misconduct aboard Epstein’s planes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Company Man: Alex Acosta and the Art of The Deflection (10/19/25)

The Company Man: Alex Acosta and the Art of The Deflection (10/19/25)

In his recent testimony before Congress, former Labor Secretary and ex–U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta doubled down on his long-criticized defense of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to dodge federal sex-trafficking charges and serve barely a year in a cushy county jail. Acosta told the House Oversight Committee that at the time, he believed a federal trial would have been a “crapshoot” because of what he called limited cooperation from victims and thin evidence — a claim that directly contradicts later Justice Department findings showing that dozens of victims were ready to testify. He also denied having any knowledge that Epstein would be granted work-release, despite extensive records showing the arrangement was approved during his watch. His tone was clinical and detached, as if the systemic betrayal of dozens of trafficked minors was just another bureaucratic footnote.Lawmakers on both sides were incensed, with Democrats accusing Acosta of rewriting history and showing “zero remorse” for enabling one of the most notorious predators in modern American history. Even some Republicans privately admitted that his testimony came off as evasive and self-serving. Acosta tried to shift blame to subordinates and state prosecutors, but his own department’s inspector general previously concluded that he exercised “poor judgment” and gave Epstein a sweetheart deal that “violated the spirit of the law.” For the victims who have spent years fighting for justice, Acosta’s congressional appearance only confirmed what they already knew — that the powerful protect their own, even when it means selling out the powerless.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House committee releases more Jeffrey Epstein documents | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew Attempted To Weaponize Scotland Yard Against Virginia Roberts (10/19/25)

Prince Andrew Attempted To Weaponize Scotland Yard Against Virginia Roberts (10/19/25)

In 2011, newly surfaced emails suggest that Prince Andrew attempted to use a Metropolitan Police protection officer—assigned to him as part of his royal security detail—to dig up damaging information on Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused him of sexual abuse linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The email reportedly contained Giuffre’s date of birth and U.S. Social Security number and alleged she had a criminal record in the United States. It was sent to a royal press aide, implying coordination to discredit Giuffre before the now-infamous photograph of Andrew with her surfaced. There is no evidence that the officer followed through on the request, and Giuffre’s family has confirmed she never had a criminal record. The revelation underscores Andrew’s desperation at the time to undermine his accuser rather than face the allegations head-on, revealing a cynical attempt to weaponize his royal privilege and the resources of law enforcement against a survivor.The Metropolitan Police have since announced they are “actively looking into” the claims, which have triggered widespread public disgust and renewed scrutiny over Andrew’s use of taxpayer-funded protection. The timing of the revelations—coming shortly after Andrew’s forced relinquishment of his Duke of York title and amid continued fallout from his ties to Epstein—paints a picture of a man still trying to manipulate institutions to protect his reputation. The notion that a royal would attempt to enlist the police to smear a victim of alleged trafficking is seen by critics as emblematic of the rot within Britain’s elite power structure. For a man who insists he “never met” Virginia Giuffre, his determination to have her investigated says everything about guilt, arrogance, and moral decay behind palace walls.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Met Police to look into claims Prince Andrew sought information on accuserBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
