Leon Black And The Baked In Cover Provided By The Internal Report

In the report dated January 22, 2021, Dechert reviewed over 60,000 documents and interviewed more than 20 witnesses to examine Black’s social and business ties to Epstein, including payments, introductions, and services rendered. It concluded that there was no evidence that Black or his affiliates were involved in Epstein’s criminal activities, or that Epstein introduced Black to any under-age woman. The document confirmed that Black engaged Epstein for tax, estate-planning, philanthropic and family-office advice between about 2012 and 2017 — with total payments around $158 million — and that their social relationship dated to the mid-1990s. It found that Black believed Epstein had served his sentence in 2008 and viewed engaging him as not “inappropriate,” though the report notes Black severed ties around fall 2018.


The report also flagged red-flags: Epstein advised on a “proprietary” solution for a 2006 Grantor-Retained Annuity Trust (“GRAT”) that reportedly saved Black up to $1 billion+ in estate taxes, and a “step-up basis” transaction that may have saved about $600 million in future tax liability. The investigation found that Epstein’s compensation “far exceeded” what Black paid his other professional advisors, and payments after 2013 were made on an ad-hoc basis without formal service agreements. While the report cleared Black of criminal wrongdoing, it raised significant questions about the nature of Epstein’s advisory role and the scale/value of payments relative to documented services.

Alex Acosta Goes To Congress:   Transcripts From The Alex Acosta Deposition (Part 8) (11/1/25)

Alex Acosta Goes To Congress: Transcripts From The Alex Acosta Deposition (Part 8) (11/1/25)

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.

The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 15 Part 2 Chapter 16 Part 1 ) (11/1/25)

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.

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 27-28) (11/1/25)

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.
