Jes Staley And His Motion To Dismiss The Epstein Survivor Lawsuit (Part 1-2) (8/18/25)

In an interview for her podcast series Broken: Jeffrey Epstein, journalist Tara Palmeri recounts a conversation Brad Edwards—who represented several of Epstein’s victims—had with Igor Zinoviev, Epstein’s bodyguard of approximately five years. Edwards described how Zinoviev issued a chilling warning: “‘You don't know who you're messing with and you need to be really careful. You are on Jeffrey's radar… you don't want to be on Jeffrey's radar’,” to which Edwards asked, “Who am I messing with?” Zinoviev quietly responded with three letters: “C‑I‑A.”Digging deeper, Palmeri reports that, according to Edwards, Zinoviev said that in 2008—while Epstein was serving his work‑release sentence—he was sent to the CIA headquarters in Virginia. Allegedly, Epstein attended some kind of private class there as the only civilian, during which he was handed a book containing a handwritten note. Zinoviev said he was instructed not to read it, only to deliver it to Epstein behind bars. The nature of the message, and any follow‑up, remains unclear.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Was 'Protected' By CIA and Trump, Former Bodyguard ClaimsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s empire of abuse began in Palm Beach, Florida, making it ground zero for his decades of predation. From his lavish mansion on El Brillo Way, Epstein cultivated a steady pipeline of vulnerable underage girls, many of them recruited from local high schools and working-class neighborhoods. Once inside the mansion, the encounters were framed as “massages,” but quickly escalated into systematic sexual abuse. Palm Beach police uncovered that Epstein had built a network of young recruiters—girls who had been abused themselves and were then paid to bring in their friends. What emerged was a chilling assembly line of exploitation operating in plain sight within one of the wealthiest enclaves in America.When law enforcement finally investigated in the mid-2000s, Palm Beach became the stage for the first serious attempt to hold Epstein accountable. Detectives amassed dozens of victim statements, physical evidence, and testimony painting a damning picture of his predatory routine. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence, the case collapsed into a sweetheart deal brokered in secret—one that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser charges and serve minimal time while avoiding federal prosecution. Palm Beach thus wasn’t just the starting point of his crimes—it was the site of his first escape from justice, establishing the pattern of protection, influence, and corruption that would define his case for years to come.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein victims in Palm Beach County: High school was ground zeroBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Newly unsealed investigative records from the Idaho State Police shed chilling light on Bryan Kohberger’s conduct during his time at Washington State University prior to the murders of four University of Idaho students. A female coffee shop employee, who also attended WSU, reported frequent unsettling encounters with Kohberger—he often visited near closing time, somehow knew her name without being told, and appeared to monitor her work schedule. She described feeling targeted and uncomfortable and even experienced unsettling incidents near her home, including someone knocking on her window and noises on her porch late at night. These details paint a disturbing portrait of behavior that, in retrospect, foreshadows a deeper predatory pattern.Further records reveal a broader pattern of concern: at least thirteen complaints were filed by classmates regarding Kohberger’s inappropriate behavior—particularly toward women. Faculty members described him as displaying predator-like traits, with one teaching assistant leaving her office door ajar out of unease, and a professor warning that, if Kohberger were to become a professor himself, he could pose a serious threat to students. This disturbing consensus of behavior raises powerful questions about the early warning signs that were missed or ignored before the murders occurred.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger files reveal café worker's eerie encounters with Idaho killer before student murders | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Congress is selling the public a performance when it comes to the Epstein files. On the surface, it looks like accountability—hearings, subpoenas, stacks of documents—but in reality, whatever gets released will be heavily redacted and sanitized long before it ever reaches daylight. The most critical names and connections, especially those tied to intelligence agencies, politicians, bankers, and global elites, will be buried under black ink. The hearings themselves, often held behind closed doors, aren’t about exposing truth but about managing narrative. The spectacle is meant to create the illusion of progress while ensuring nothing truly explosive slips through.This is the same playbook the government has used for decades: generate fanfare around “transparency,” trickle out neutered files, and then declare victory once public outrage fades. Epstein’s story isn’t just about one man—it’s about a system of blackmail, compromise, and protection that stretches across institutions of power. That’s why the truth can’t be allowed out. In the end, the Epstein files won’t deliver justice; they’ll serve as another diversion, another false closure, another managed scandal designed to protect the very machine that allowed Epstein to operate in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Federal prosecutors have submitted court filings urging the judge to swiftly reject Combs’s motion to overturn the jury’s verdict or to grant a new trial. They argue that the defense mischaracterizes the Mann Act’s application—asserting that the statute was neither unduly vague nor in violation of his constitutional rights—and emphasized that the evidence supporting the convictions is “overwhelming.” Prosecutors laid out how Combs is alleged to have orchestrated repeated, drug‑fueled sexual events between 2008 and 2023 involving male escorts, coordinating travel across state lines and using videotaped footage as a means of control—facts they say strongly uphold the jury’s guilty verdicts under the Mann Act.Prosecutors also directly countered Combs’s defense claims that the encounters were consensual, non-commercial, and protected as private or expressive acts. They highlighted testimony from ex‑girlfriends—including Cassie Ventura and the woman identified as “Jane”—detailing coercion, threats involving the release of videos, and financial manipulation. The government maintains that Combs “masterminded every aspect” of these events, using them for his sexual gratification and, at times, engaging directly himself. With that, prosecutors argue the legal basis for the convictions remains solid and the jury’s decision should stand.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' request for acquittal or new trial should be rejected, prosecutors sayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a March 2025 ruling, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed nearly all claims against every defendant except Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, thereby ordering the case to proceed to trial against her in her individual capacity. The court found that Plaskett’s conduct—including soliciting campaign contributions from Jeffrey Epstein at his New York residence, accepting loans and political support, and approving substantial tax breaks for his businesses—created sufficient ties to New York to establish personal jurisdiction under the state's long-arm statute. Consequently, Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and negligence claims against her were allowed to move forward, while related claims against other Virgin Islands officials were dismissed on jurisdictional and legal grounds.The judge also rejected the plaintiffs’ request for jurisdictional discovery, concluding they had failed to make a prima facie showing to justify it. With all other defendants out of the picture, Plaskett stands as the sole defendant facing trial in this high-profile case. The court further invited motions from both sides regarding venue transfers and potential defenses such as immunity, providing a clear path for the next legal phase.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.610915.202.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In July 2024, Delegate Stacey Plaskett filed a lawsuit under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure seeking sanctions against the attorney representing six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. Plaskett argued that the amended lawsuit against her was frivolously filed, lacked any factual or legal foundation, and was intended to harass rather than pursue a legitimate legal claim. She sought sanctions to penalize and deter what she viewed as a baseless and politically motivated suit.However, the court denied her Rule 11 motion, concluding that the survivors’ filing was neither frivolous nor made for improper purposes. The ruling underscored that the suit was grounded in sufficient factual and legal claims, and that the plaintiffs’ allegations merited judicial consideration rather than sanctions. In essence, the denial affirmed that the litigation could proceed on substantive grounds.Also....In the released segment of her May 9, 2023 deposition, Stacey Plaskett was pressed on her awareness of Jeffrey Epstein’s role in the Virgin Islands and the extent of his influence with local officials and institutions. The questioning focused on whether she had knowledge of Epstein’s financial relationships, his political donations, or his contacts with Virgin Islands leadership during the period when he was operating in the territory. Plaskett largely distanced herself from Epstein, stating that she had no direct involvement with him and little knowledge of his activities beyond what was publicly known.Attorneys also asked Plaskett about government oversight, her interactions with agencies connected to Epstein’s business holdings, and whether she had ever received benefits, contributions, or favors traceable to Epstein or his companies. In the available transcript, she denied having such connections and emphasized that she was not involved in decisions related to Epstein’s finances or residency. While limited to roughly 25 pages, the deposition underscores how central Virgin Islands political figures were to JPMorgan’s defense and the USVI’s allegations—whether officials ignored red flags about Epstein or knowingly permitted him to operate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, the Delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, became the lone remaining defendant in a civil case filed by six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse after the court dismissed the claims against other parties. The survivors alleged that Plaskett was complicit in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, accusations that she forcefully denied. In April 2025, a second amended complaint reiterated the charges, to which Plaskett responded by filing a motion to dismiss, calling the claims baseless and defamatory. She has consistently framed the lawsuit as politically motivated and lacking in legal merit.Prior to this, in July 2024, Plaskett filed a motion under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure seeking sanctions against the survivors’ attorney. Rule 11 motions are designed to punish parties or lawyers for filing frivolous, unfounded, or harassing litigation. Plaskett argued that the case against her was precisely that.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.610915.127.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
