JP Morgan, The Settlement With Epstein Survivors And The Ramifications That Never Came

Calls for Prince Andrew to speak with the FBI began in late 2019, shortly after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest and subsequent death, when U.S. investigators turned their attention to Epstein’s inner circle. Andrew’s long-standing friendship with Epstein — including his stays at Epstein’s New York mansion and the widely circulated photo with Virginia Giuffre — made him a person of interest in the ongoing probe. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman publicly urged the Duke of York to cooperate, revealing that Andrew had provided “zero cooperation” despite his earlier public pledge to assist investigators. The announcement set off a firestorm in both the UK and U.S., with media outlets accusing the prince of hiding behind royal privilege and fueling public outrage over perceived double standards.By early 2020, the pressure only intensified. Lawmakers, victims’ advocates, and legal experts demanded that Andrew face questioning under oath, arguing that his testimony could shed light on Epstein’s trafficking network and the powerful figures who enabled it. The FBI reportedly reached out multiple times through formal channels, but Andrew’s legal team stalled, citing procedural concerns and jurisdictional issues. His refusal to cooperate became an international embarrassment for Buckingham Palace, further damaging the royal family’s reputation and strengthening the perception that Andrew was being shielded from accountability. What began as calls for cooperation soon evolved into a symbol of royal impunity — the moment when the world saw how far the palace would go to protect one of its own.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Donald Trump’s ever-changing narrative about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has grown increasingly incoherent, with his latest claim being that Epstein “stole” spa workers from Mar-a-Lago—including, allegedly, Virginia Giuffre. Instead of expressing outrage over Epstein’s crimes or sympathy for the survivors, Trump framed the fallout like a staffing dispute, saying Epstein took people who worked for him and that Giuffre “had no complaints.” The shifting timelines—from calling Epstein a “terrific guy” to suddenly claiming moral indignation or workplace betrayal—don’t inspire confidence in his account.Giuffre’s family responded critically to Trump’s comments, describing them as insensitive and reducing Virginia to an object rather than acknowledging her as a survivor. They emphasized that she was a person who endured serious trauma and should not be spoken about in such transactional terms. Their reaction raised broader concerns about the tone and framing of Trump’s statements—particularly the absence of empathy toward those harmed by Epstein. By focusing on staffing disputes and loyalty rather than addressing the abuse itself, Trump’s remarks were seen as overlooking the core human cost of the scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Donald Trump has been dogged by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for years, as resurfaced documents, photos, and court filings keep linking his name to the disgraced financier’s social orbit. Trump and Epstein were well-acquainted throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, sharing appearances at Mar-a-Lago, social gatherings in Palm Beach, and the same circles of models, moguls, and politicians. While Trump has repeatedly claimed to have cut Epstein off years before his arrest, newly surfaced “Epstein files” — a collection of deposition records, contact lists, and sealed court documents — have reignited speculation about how close their relationship really was. The release of a so-called “birthday book” signed by Trump and letters allegedly exchanged between the two have only deepened the public’s curiosity and the media’s fixation.Within these documents, online investigators and media outlets have pointed to references to a “John Doe 174,” alleging that this pseudonym refers to Donald Trump. The claim stems from court redactions in Epstein-related filings where certain high-profile individuals were anonymized, fueling widespread debate over who each “Doe” represents. The theory surrounding Trump’s alleged designation as John Doe 174 has spread rapidly since several European and U.S. outlets drew connections between the redacted entries and Trump’s known interactions with Epstein. Whether or not the identification can be proven in court, the allegation alone has amplified political fallout, revived old questions about his social connections, and ensured that the Epstein scandal continues to shadow his public image well into 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein investigation has been defined by a decades-long trail of corruption, influence, and protection that spans both political parties and powerful institutions. From the very beginning, Epstein’s connections to elite figures—from Wall Street moguls and intelligence officials to presidents and royals—seemed to grant him immunity from normal legal consequences. The 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida, brokered in secret by federal prosecutors under Alex Acosta, remains one of the clearest examples of systemic rot: a sweetheart deal negotiated behind closed doors that shielded Epstein’s co-conspirators and effectively nullified justice for dozens of victims. Even as federal agents collected evidence of trafficking and witness tampering, the powerful leaned on their connections to ensure the case was quietly buried.When Epstein was re-arrested in 2019, that same machinery of protection reappeared—just more desperate and more visible. His suspicious “suicide” inside one of the most secure jails in the country occurred amid camera failures, sleeping guards, and missing logs, all while key financial and political figures scrambled to distance themselves. Every step since—sealed records, vanishing evidence, selective prosecutions, and lenient treatment of Ghislaine Maxwell—has reeked of containment rather than accountability. What began as a criminal case against one man has become a case study in institutional corruption, where the truth about Epstein’s network of power remains locked behind the same walls that failed to keep him alive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Federal prosecutors in New York confirmed that an active grand jury investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell and other potential Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators is still underway, despite Maxwell’s 2021 conviction. In court filings, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York revealed that the probe remains sealed, describing it as part of a broader effort to hold accountable anyone who participated in or enabled Epstein’s trafficking network. The disclosure was made during legal arguments over unsealing additional materials from Maxwell’s criminal case, with prosecutors warning that premature disclosure could interfere with “ongoing law-enforcement activity.”The revelation reignited public scrutiny over why, years after Epstein’s death, no additional high-profile figures have been charged. It also underscored the enduring sensitivity of the case, as prosecutors continue to pursue evidence tied to Epstein’s finances, logistics network, and associates. Legal experts noted that such a statement from federal authorities is rare, suggesting that investigators may still be gathering testimony or preparing potential indictments against individuals whose names surfaced during Maxwell’s trial and related lawsuits.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the year following his explosive Prince Andrew interview for the BBC’s Newsnight, the prince transformed from a high-profile member of the royal family into a sidelined figure engulfed in scandal. His candid, but tone-deaf attempts at damage control—claiming a rigid alibi, failing to show sympathy to his alleged victims, and denying memory of key meetings—prompted the palace to strip him of official roles, revoke his security detail, remove his Buckingham Palace office and effectively erase him from public royal duties.During this time he also publicly offered to cooperate with investigators into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged trafficking network, but again fell short—US authorities declared he’d given “zero cooperation” to the FBI. Meanwhile his and his ex-wife’s financial troubles mounted, with income streams drying up and assets such as their Swiss ski-chalet contract falling into dispute. All the while the queen reportedly kept contact, yet in public he became the visible face of the monarchy’s worst PR nightmare.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Clayton Howard, a former male escort and frequent participant in Diddy’s private sex parties known as “freak-offs,” has filed a lawsuit accusing both Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura of sex trafficking, coercion, and abuse. According to his claims, he was recruited to perform sex acts under the guise of high-end parties, only to find himself drugged, manipulated, and transported across state lines for increasingly degrading and violent encounters. He alleges that Diddy exercised complete control over the events, orchestrating who did what and with whom, often while recording the acts without consent. Howard describes a world of intimidation, where refusal meant exile, and participation meant surrendering autonomy and dignity.What makes his allegations even more explosive is his assertion that Cassie wasn’t just a victim of Diddy’s abuse—but an active participant in his exploitation. He accuses her of knowingly infecting him with an STD, coercing him into sexual acts, demanding he masturbate for hours while she filmed him, and ultimately pressuring him into an abortion. Howard paints a picture of Cassie as someone who embraced the power dynamic created by Diddy, allegedly using it to dominate and humiliate others in turn. His lawsuit portrays the entire environment as a sadistic, hierarchical structure of abuse where both Diddy and Cassie held power and used it to break down and control those beneath them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - Howard v Combs VenturaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
