Morning Update: Jeffrey Epstein, The Treasury Department And The Red Flags That Were Ignored (9/1/25)
Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, are confidential filings that financial institutions are legally required to send to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever they detect transactions that may indicate money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, or other criminal activity. They’re not evidence of a crime by themselves, but rather red flags—signals that something looks off. Banks, casinos, brokerages, and even crypto platforms file them routinely, and once submitted, they’re closely guarded, unavailable to the public, and protected by strict “no tipping off” rules. Law enforcement uses SARs to trace illicit networks, connect patterns across different institutions, and build out investigations into everything from drug cartels and terrorist cells to human trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes.Now those same reports sit at the center of a political firestorm. House Oversight Chair James Comer has formally requested that the Treasury Department turn over all SARs connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His demand signals an attempt to pull back the veil on what banks flagged about Epstein’s vast financial web—wires, transfers, shell accounts, and potential facilitators. If granted, the request could provide Congress with a rare inside look at the money trails behind Epstein’s operations, though it also raises thorny questions about confidentiality, precedent, and how much of this intelligence should be made public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Comer requests Epstein, Maxwell records from Treasury Secretary | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Driving Ms. Maxwell: Ghislaine Maxwell's Bid To Land A Prison Chauffer Gig (9/1/25)
Ghislaine Maxwell, now housed at the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, attempted to secure one of the prison’s coveted “town driver” jobs—positions that allow trusted inmates to leave the facility and ferry others to appointments, bus stops, and airports. According to the Daily Mail, her application was swiftly rejected by prison officials, who deemed the 63-year-old sex trafficker far too high a flight risk to be allowed outside unsupervised. The refusal reportedly left Maxwell frustrated, as such roles are seen as the closest thing to freedom an inmate can have while still incarcerated. Instead, another woman was awarded the role, with sources noting that inmates had warned Maxwell there was no chance she would be granted that level of trust.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell's audacious bid to get job at cushy lock-up that would let her OUTSIDE the prison's walls | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Tapes: Transcripts From Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview (Part 19) (9/1/25)
On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
