Morning Update: A Trip Around The Jeffrey Epstein Related Headlines (10/10/25)

The financial sector didn’t just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein’s connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn’t just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn’t just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell originally signaled she was ready to comply with the congressional subpoena demanding her testimony before the House Oversight Committee tentatively scheduled for the week of August 11. Her legal team had framed her cooperation with the Department of Justice—during a two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she reportedly answered questions about nearly 100 individuals without invoking privilege—as a sign of willingness to come forward fully. That earlier posture suggested Maxwell might walk the halls of Capitol Hill to finally provide insight into Epstein’s network and operations.But following that DOJ sit‑down, she is now openly "undecided" about whether she will testify before Congress. Despite praising her own “truthful” and unrestricted cooperation in front of federal prosecutors, Maxwell has refused to commit to congressional testimony, leaving open the possibility of invoking her Fifth Amendment rights absent formal immunity. Critics are quick to suggest this move is a calculated pivot—falling back into legal limbo just as the political temperature rises. Rather than embracing transparency, she’s pulling back into silence until she sees whether immunity or clemency might eventually materialize—casting further doubt on the sincerity of her earlier so-called "willingness."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Maxwell’s lawyer says she’s undecided on appearing for congressional testimony - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a videotaped deposition taken in April 2016, Maxwell was questioned under oath about Giuffre’s allegations of being groomed and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell—allegations that she vehemently denied, calling Giuffre an “absolute liar” and asserting she had no involvement in recruiting or abusing her. Maxwell repeatedly refused to answer questions about alleged sexual activity with minors—labeling them as inquiries into “consensual adult sex”—and insisted she had no knowledge of underage abuse. She denied any wrongdoing or participation in Epstein’s trafficking network, attempting to distance herself from all aspects of Giuffre’s claims.Critics and federal prosecutors later pointed to this deposition as a key piece of evidence in her criminal indictment: they argue Maxwell knowingly made false statements under oath, which became the basis for two counts of perjury in her 2021 criminal charges. Despite her denials, corroborating evidence—including testimony about threesomes with minor girls, flight logs, and recruitment patterns—cast serious doubt on her credibility. Giuffre’s suit was ultimately settled in 2017, reportedly for millions of dollars, but the unsealed deposition—and Maxwell’s fierce denials—now serve as a stark contrast to the weight of testimony and documentation later vetted in court.source:Ghislaine Maxwell Deposition Transcript - DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell has repeatedly claimed that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities or the scale of his sexual abuse. In public statements and during her trial, she insisted that she was unaware of any misconduct involving minors and denied participating in or facilitating the abuse. Maxwell portrayed herself as a scapegoat—someone unfairly prosecuted in Epstein’s absence—and asserted that had she known the true nature of Epstein’s actions, she never would have associated with him. This narrative was central to her defense strategy, aiming to distance herself from the logistics and inner workings of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation despite overwhelming testimony and evidence suggesting otherwise.Critics, however, view her claims as implausible and self-serving. Maxwell was not only Epstein’s close companion and long-time confidante, but also ran his properties, scheduled appointments, and, according to numerous victims, was personally involved in the recruitment and grooming process. Multiple survivors testified that Maxwell directly participated in the abuse or facilitated it by normalizing inappropriate contact and providing logistical support. Her denials of knowledge appear not just hollow, but deliberately evasive—especially given her central role in Epstein’s world for over a decade. Her continued insistence on ignorance, even after conviction, underscores her refusal to take full responsibility for the magnitude of the harm caused.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-ghislaine-maxwell-idUSKBN29X0QPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team moved aggressively to block Sarah Ransome from delivering a victim impact statement at the June 28, 2022 sentencing, arguing that Ransome did not qualify as a statutory “crime victim” under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Maxwell’s defenders claimed Ransome was an adult at the time of her interactions with Epstein and Maxwell—outside the timeframe of the charges—and thus lacked legal standing to speak in the sentencing phase. The defense specifically argued that Ransome was not part of the indictment or trial record and that her allegations occurred years after the periods under scrutiny, positioning her voice as irrelevant to the court’s legal determinationCritics saw this tactic as a cynical effort to silence survivors by exploiting narrow technicalities, rather than addressing the broader harm experienced by individuals Maxwell helped traffic. Ransome, who alleges threats, abuse, and coercion during her adult years with Epstein and Maxwell, had powerful testimony—including descriptions of being treated as a "sex toy" and forced to attempt escape from Epstein’s island. Her exclusion from speaking would have denied the court a fuller understanding of Maxwell’s pattern of behavior and the real-life consequences of her crimes—even beyond the window covered by the charges. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10941223/Ghislaine-Maxwell-trying-stop-victim-Sarah-Ransome-testifying-against-sentencing.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
