The Duke and the Devils: Epstein, Weinstein, and Maxwell at the Lodge (10/28/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew has managed to retain his residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor after securing funds from an undisclosed benefactor. This financial support emerged following King Charles III's decision to cut Andrew's £1 million annual allowance and discontinue payments for his private security. The legitimacy of these funds has been confirmed through a financial review led by Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse.The Duke of York's ability to maintain his 31-room estate has been a point of contention, especially given his diminished role within the royal family. Despite the financial challenges, Andrew's new source of income has enabled him to uphold his living arrangements, highlighting ongoing complexities within the House of Windsor regarding royal privileges and financial independence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Reveal who stumped up millions for stay at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew told... as Duke says he can pay for Windsor home and avoid eviction by King | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew has long clung to the idea of a return to public royal life, despite mounting evidence that such a comeback is all but impossible. His self-belief that he could simply “ride the scandal out” and resume duties stems from pre-2019 days when he was a visible working royal. But after his disastrous BBC interview in November 2019 — widely regarded as a major turning point in his fall from grace — his hope of a return entered the realm of fantasy. One commentator called his plans “delusional” and argued that Andrew was still under the illusion that a few apologies or media appearances could restore his status.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s finances are in shambles, the byproduct of arrogance colliding with reality. Once buoyed by royal stipends and taxpayer-funded perks, he’s now reportedly been cut off by King Charles and left to fund his own lifestyle—an impossible task for a man with no visible income. His allowance, security funding, and access to public resources have all dried up, leaving him to somehow maintain a 30-room estate at Royal Lodge that costs millions a year in upkeep. The irony is rich: the same man who used to swagger about his “birthright” is now fighting eviction and relying on family mercy to avoid complete humiliation. The façade of privilege is cracking, and what’s underneath isn’t nobility—it’s insolvency in designer shoes.To make matters worse, his financial ventures have been a carousel of failure. His investment firm, Urramoor Limited, quietly folded after years of losses. His Swiss chalet debacle ended in debt, court disputes, and embarrassment. And with every door to legitimate income slammed shut, whispers have grown louder about how exactly Andrew bankrolls his existence. His finances are described by royal insiders as “opaque,” and the public is beginning to question whether those still helping him are doing so out of pity or fear of what he might reveal. Either way, the Duke of York has become the broke poster child for royal excess—living proof that you can’t outrun disgrace, even in a palace.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In August 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in the U.S. against Prince Andrew accusing him of sexual assault when she was a teenager. His legal team immediately attempted to block the case, arguing among other things that a 2009 settlement she made with Jeffrey Epstein released any potential claims against him. The court rejected the motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed and reach the phase where depositions (including his) were scheduled.Rather than face a full deposition and trial, Andrew settled the lawsuit in mid-February 2022 for an undisclosed amount, agreeing to make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s charity and to support efforts against sex trafficking, without admitting liability. Because of that settlement, the planned U.S. deposition of the prince was averted – the case did not go to a trial where he would have had to testify under oath in open court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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.
