Billionaire Howard Rubin Gets Smacked With Serious Charges Including Human Trafficking (9/29/25)

The court’s Opinion and Order addresses a petition brought by Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA), challenging the federal government’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement in Florida. The petitioners argued that federal prosecutors violated their rights by negotiating and finalizing the deal without notifying them, depriving them of the opportunity to be heard and to confer with the government. The court acknowledged the gravity of the allegations and the disturbing nature of the underlying conduct but focused its analysis on jurisdiction, statutory limits, and the scope of relief available under the CVRA.Ultimately, the court denied the requested relief, concluding that the CVRA did not provide a basis to invalidate the non-prosecution agreement or to grant the remedies sought against the United States. The order emphasized that the CVRA’s enforcement mechanisms are narrow, do not waive sovereign immunity for damages, and do not authorize courts to unwind completed prosecutorial decisions. While recognizing the petitioners’ claims of exclusion and harm, the court held that it lacked authority under the statute to grant retrospective relief that would nullify the agreement, leaving the petitioners without a judicial remedy in that proceeding despite the acknowledged concerns about how the case was handled.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.317867.478.0_9.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Kathryn Ruemmler, a former Obama White House Counsel and prominent Clinton-aligned attorney, has emerged as a largely overlooked but consequential figure in Jeffrey Epstein’s post-conviction legal orbit. Ruemmler has characterized her dealings with Epstein as strictly professional, yet efforts by the Epstein estate to block access to correspondence between the two have raised questions about the nature and sensitivity of that relationship. Epstein’s legal strategy during his most legally perilous period relied heavily on high-level attorneys capable of managing exposure, controlling risk, and navigating institutional pressure. The estate’s resistance to disclosure has drawn attention precisely because Epstein’s own reputation no longer requires protection, suggesting concern about potential fallout for others. Despite this, Ruemmler’s role has received comparatively little sustained media or political scrutiny.The muted attention to Ruemmler reflects a broader pattern in the Epstein saga, where focus often centers on the abuser while minimizing examination of the professional networks that enabled his continued operation. Legal facilitators, unlike co-conspirators, frequently remain shielded by privilege, credentials, and procedural opacity, even when their work materially contributed to delaying accountability. This dynamic stands in contrast to the treatment of survivors, who face extensive scrutiny while elite actors benefit from silence. Ruemmler’s case underscores how Epstein’s longevity was not solely the product of individual misconduct, but of institutional mechanisms that absorbed and managed risk on his behalf. Until those enabling structures are examined with the same rigor applied to Epstein himself, critical aspects of the case remain unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Giuffre’s response to Ghislaine Maxwell’s motion for summary judgment was a direct challenge to Maxwell’s attempt to dismiss the case without a trial. In her filing, Giuffre argued that Maxwell’s statements denying any wrongdoing were not only defamatory, but made with actual malice—because Maxwell knew they were false when she made them. Giuffre’s legal team submitted sworn testimony, supporting documentation, and detailed timelines to establish that Maxwell had played a central role in Epstein’s trafficking operation and that her denials were part of a broader effort to discredit and silence victims.Virginia Giuffre’s response to Ghislaine Maxwell’s motion for summary judgment was a direct challenge to Maxwell’s attempt to dismiss the case without a trial.

In the defamation case Virginia Giuffre brought against Ghislaine Maxwell beginning in 2015, Maxwell responded with a motion for summary judgment—arguing that Giuffre’s allegations were not legally defamatory and that Maxwell was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. That motion aimed to avoid a trial by asserting that even if all of Giuffre’s allegations were true, they did not meet the legal threshold for defamation. The motion, along with supporting documents, was filed under seal during pre-trial proceedings. Ultimately, the district court did not grant the motion, and the case was later settled out of court under confidentiality terms in 2017.When third parties later moved to unseal portions of the sealed record, particularly filings related to the summary judgment motion, the courts determined that these materials were judicial documents subject to a strong presumption of public access. A federal appeals court ordered their partial release because Maxwell had not shown sufficient reasons to overcome the public’s right of access. In other words, although Maxwell sought to dispose of the case quietly and legally via summary judgment—and shield that process from public view—those efforts were rejected, and important portions of the case were ultimately made part of the public record.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Docs - DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
