Mega Edition: Brad Edwards And What He Had To Say About Prince Andrew And Epstein (10/7/25)

After Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 arrest, billionaire financier Leon Black scrambled to distance himself from the disgraced sex offender, despite years of documented financial and personal ties. Black initially portrayed his connection to Epstein as limited to “tax and estate planning advice,” claiming he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities and had ended all contact after learning of them. But that narrative began to crumble when reports revealed Black had paid Epstein roughly $158 million between 2012 and 2017—years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. Under growing scrutiny, Black stepped down as CEO and chairman of Apollo Global Management in 2021 following an internal investigation that, while stopping short of criminal findings, confirmed that his payments to Epstein were far larger and more frequent than previously disclosed.Publicly, Black sought to frame himself as a victim of Epstein’s manipulative charm, describing their relationship as a “terrible mistake” born of misplaced trust in a man who “betrayed” him. Privately, however, former associates and leaked correspondence suggested the two had shared a closer dynamic, with Epstein advising on personal matters, charitable giving, and even meeting members of Black’s family. The fallout tarnished Black’s reputation permanently, forcing him into partial exile from the financial elite he once dominated. His attempts to rebrand the connection as a naïve business misjudgment only deepened public skepticism—cementing his image as another powerful man who enabled, empowered, and profited from Jeffrey Epstein long after the rest of the world knew who and what he was.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In September 2021, the New York Times filed a lawsuit against Wayne Biggs Jr., CEO of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Economic Development Authority (EDA), and the Virgin Islands government, seeking access to financial and business records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in the territory. The Times claimed these records were public under local statutes and that transparency was necessary to understand Epstein’s financial footprint in the Virgin Islands and the EDA’s dealings. They argued that Biggs and the government had improperly withheld documents relevant to Epstein’s investments, property dealings, and possible influence in local economic affairs.The suit represented a broader effort by the press and public interest groups to pierce the veil of secrecy around Epstein’s financial network—especially in jurisdictions where public records laws often clash with powerful private interests. The legal action underscored tensions between government withholding and demands for accountability in investigations related to Epstein’s legacy of abuse, trafficking, and financial mystery.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Diddy is asking the court to let him serve his federal sentence at Fort Dix, a correctional facility in New Jersey. It’s a bold move — of all the prisons he could’ve picked (or been assigned), he’s aiming for the one whose name is, well, hard to ignore. He’s framing it as a legal decision — closer to family, better conditions, whatever the rationale given — but the very choice of “Dix” adds a layer of unmissable irony.However, the final placement decision rests not with the court but with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), which considers multiple factors including security classification, institutional capacity, medical and programming needs, and disciplinary history before assigning a facility. While a judge’s recommendation may be noted, it is not binding. The BOP ultimately has full discretion to determine where Combs will serve his time once his designation process is completed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs requests to serve sentence in low-security NJ prison FCI Fort DixBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal effectively weakened the legal shield once thought to protect Jeffrey Epstein’s network of alleged co-conspirators under his 2007 Florida non-prosecution agreement (NPA). That refusal signaled that the deal’s immunity applied only within the Southern District of Florida, not nationwide—opening the door for other jurisdictions to pursue charges tied to Epstein’s broader trafficking operation. Prosecutors in places like New York or the U.S. Virgin Islands may now be emboldened to indict figures such as Sarah Kellen (Vickers), Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross, and Nadia Marcinkova, all of whom were named as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the Florida deal. Each played a different role—from scheduling and recruiting victims to managing finances and flights—but their activities often crossed state and international lines, placing much of their conduct outside the reach of the original agreement.The Supreme Court’s silence carries major implications: if even Maxwell, Epstein’s closest associate, failed to convince the courts that the NPA protected her, it’s unlikely lesser aides will succeed in claiming immunity elsewhere. This outcome reshapes the prosecutorial landscape—transforming a once-untouchable circle into viable targets for renewed investigation and potential indictment. For victims, it represents a long-delayed opening for broader accountability; for prosecutors, it removes the procedural fear that cases could collapse on technical immunity grounds. In short, the Maxwell decision didn’t just end her appeal—it cracked open the door for justice to finally reach those who operated behind Epstein’s curtain of secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal effectively upheld lower court rulings that the 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) Jeffrey Epstein signed in Florida does not extend protection to alleged co-conspirators outside that district. This leaves the NPA confined to the Southern District of Florida and strips it of the national immunity once implied by Epstein’s legal team. As a result, prosecutors in other jurisdictions—such as New York, New Mexico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands—are now free to pursue fresh indictments against individuals connected to Epstein’s trafficking network without fearing dismissal on immunity grounds. The Court’s silence sends a clear message: the NPA was local, not global, and its co-conspirator clause does not bind the rest of the United States.This outcome marks a pivotal shift in the Epstein saga. For years, the Florida deal acted as a roadblock to federal accountability, shielding those who helped facilitate Epstein’s crimes from prosecution elsewhere. But the Supreme Court’s inaction on Maxwell’s appeal erodes that shield, creating new prosecutorial opportunities for cases tied to interstate trafficking, financial transfers, and recruitment that took place beyond Florida’s borders. It sets a precedent that the law can reach further than a secret plea deal brokered nearly two decades ago—signaling a potential reckoning for others who, until now, have remained beyond the reach of justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A reporter asked Trump if he’d pardon Ghislaine Maxwell now that the Supreme Court killed her last appeal, and he immediately went into his usual “Who? Never heard of her” routine like he was auditioning for Men in Black. It was pure comedy—he acted like Ghislaine was some random lady who wandered into his photos by accident, not someone who used to orbit the same high-society circles as him and Epstein. The man delivered his line so confidently you’d think he really believed it: “I don’t know her, but I hear she’s doing well.” Yeah, sure, Don—she’s “doing well” in prison. Real cozy setup between chow line and lockdown. The guy could be caught holding a selfie stick with her and still swear it’s Photoshop and “fake news.”Trump’s selective amnesia is practically a stage show at this point. Every time one of his old pals gets indicted, he suddenly turns into a witness protection participant. “Never met them, don’t know them, wish them well.” It’s become a brand. The funniest part is how he says it with total confidence, like he’s daring the world to remember what he’s pretending to forget. When asked about a pardon, you could see the wheels spin—“What’s in it for me?”—but in true Trump fashion, he skipped the answer and rewrote history instead. Because in his world, he doesn’t need to pardon anyone; he just deletes them from existence.

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-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
