Mega Edition: Psychologist Alan Manevitz On What Motivated Epstein's Circle to Help Him (11/16/25)

In her deposition on March 15, 2010, Ross was questioned extensively about her relationship with Epstein and individuals in his orbit, including the role of recruiting young women for massages and possible sexual contact. She was asked whether she ever used the term “massage” as a euphemism, whether she personally arranged for young women (including minors) to meet Epstein, and whether she benefited financially or materially from such arrangements. Ross repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when asked substantive questions about her own conduct in connection with Epstein’s sexual-abuse network, declining to answer many questions about the details of her involvement.Ross was also asked about her knowledge of Epstein’s associates and activities, including whether she was aware of certain flights, properties, and contacts used by Epstein’s organization for transporting, lodging or grooming associates. The deposition records show that many of these questions were met with silence or non-responses, as Ross declined to answer on advice of counsel or invoked the Fifth. The lack of direct testimony from Ross thus left significant gaps in the civil case’s ability to pin down the full details of her role.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Stacey Plaskett has been exposed in newly released emails showing she was actively messaging Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing, a revelation that detonated her carefully crafted public image as a defender of justice. Despite long-standing knowledge of Epstein’s reputation as a trafficker and blackmail broker for the powerful, Plaskett not only took his money, but fought to keep it until political pressure left her no escape route. Survivors have accused her of enabling Epstein’s network, yet the political establishment responded with silence and excuse-making, revealing a system that protects itself rather than victims. Her downfall has become a symbol of the deep, bipartisan rot that allowed Epstein to exist in the first place, and her scrambling defenders expose how quickly principles evaporate when careers are threatened.The scandal isn’t an isolated accident or a partisan attack—it is a flashing red warning sign that the corruption surrounding Epstein was never limited to one party or one figure, but woven into the fabric of power itself. If the public is expected to demand accountability from Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, and every other elite linked to Epstein, then Stacey Plaskett cannot receive a pass because she wears the right jersey. Her refusal to resign, the establishment’s sudden amnesia, and the survivors’ continued fight all underscore the same truth: the age of selective outrage is over, and consequences can no longer be optional. The reckoning has arrived, and there is no spinning, silencing, or burying this one.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Enough is enough. The American people have been dragged through years of lies, manipulation, half-truths, and theatrical promises about the Epstein files. We were told transparency was coming — day one, they said. We were promised sunlight, subpoenas, answers, justice. Instead, what we got was political theater, influencer photo-ops, redactions thicker than concrete, and a bipartisan effort to bury the truth deeper than Epstein’s body ever went. Every excuse in the book has been thrown at us: investigations are ongoing, national security, sensitive information, legal complexities, timing issues — you name it. Meanwhile, the survivors grow older, the criminals grow richer, and the public grows angrier. At a certain point, the game becomes obvious: they are not stalling because of process, they’re stalling because of panic.And now, the line has been drawn. It is no longer a request — it is a demand. Release the files. All of them. No more curated leaks, no more “phase one,” no more political puppetry. The country deserves every page, every email, every black book entry, every flight log, every deposition, unredacted and unfiltered. The world is watching a government terrified of its own reflection, terrified of the names that will shatter the illusion of integrity. Justice delayed is justice denied, and justice in the Epstein case has been delayed for decades. If our leaders can’t handle the truth, then step aside and let someone who can. The survivors deserve closure. The public deserves honesty. The system deserves cleansing. Enough is enough — release the files and let the chips fall where they may.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After Jeffrey Epstein’s first arrest in 2008 on charges involving solicitation of a minor, he managed to escape serious consequences through an extraordinary plea agreement negotiated with federal prosecutors in Florida. Instead of facing federal sex-trafficking charges that could have resulted in decades behind bars, Epstein received an exceptionally lenient 13-month sentence in county jail—one that allowed him a controversial “work-release” privilege, enabling him to leave the facility for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week. The non-prosecution agreement also granted immunity to unnamed “co-conspirators,” shielding his network from accountability. The arrangement was conducted with secrecy so severe that it violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, leaving survivors uninformed and stunned when the deal surfaced years later. It quickly became viewed as one of the most disturbing examples of preferential treatment ever afforded to a wealthy defendant.Even more alarming, multiple investigations later alleged that Epstein continued abusing underage girls even during his so-called incarceration, exploiting the freedoms granted under the work-release program. Reports asserted that he received visits from young women brought to his office while under state supervision, behavior witnesses described as continuing his sexual exploitation pipeline almost uninterrupted. Instead of being monitored closely, Epstein was allowed to travel extensively, meet with associates, conduct business, and maintain access to wealth, influence, and resources. His ability to continue predatory conduct while supposedly punished exposed the profound failure—and possible corruption—of the justice system tasked with restraining him, ultimately setting the stage for another decade of alleged abuse before his final arrest in 2019.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, his financial network and influence didn’t collapse—in fact, many of his money channels remained active and parts of his wealth stayed in demand. Banks and service providers continued handling large sums connected to him even when his reputation had become toxic. Reports surfaced showing that litigation and investigations revealed he had hundreds of millions in assets, multiple bank accounts, and a network of offshore vehicles that were still being managed or utilised. Some wealthy clients and institutions apparently accepted exposure to his funds because the prestige, access, or investment potential outweighed the reputational risk. Epstein’s business and social apparatus, though under scrutiny, proved resilient—his name still carried weight in some elite financial circles despite everything stacked against him.Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell—his long-time associate—allegedly kept clandestine lines of contact with him, even while he was under arrest or legal threat. Email records and internal correspondence published later suggested that Maxwell and Epstein exchanged messages about strategy, legal exposure, finances, and social-network management, indicating she remained involved behind the scenes. Although she publicly distanced herself from his criminal activities, the evidence points to her operating quietly—handling logistics, maintaining joint accounts, and performing coordination work that kept his sphere intact. Her role appears to have shifted from visible socialite to shadow operator, preserving their connection and helping sustain elements of his empire when open ties would have drawn too much attention.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell entered pleas of not guilty to all charges brought against her, asserting that she had no involvement in the sexual abuse and trafficking of minors connected to Jeffrey Epstein. During her arraignments, Maxwell’s defense team argued that the prosecution was attempting to make her a scapegoat for Epstein’s crimes following his death in federal custody, claiming she was being unfairly targeted because Epstein was no longer alive to stand trial. They maintained that Maxwell had no knowledge of or participation in any abuse and that the accusations were based on unreliable memories and media-driven pressure rather than hard evidence.Despite the severity of the charges, Maxwell continued to insist on her innocence throughout the pre-trial process, challenging both the credibility of the accusers and the conditions of her confinement. Her attorneys attempted multiple times to secure bail, claiming she was being held under excessively harsh conditions and was not a flight risk, but the court repeatedly rejected these requests due to concerns about her financial resources, international ties, and the possibility she could flee prosecution. Throughout her legal battle, Maxwell’s not-guilty stance became central to her defense narrative, framing the case as one of political and public scapegoating rather than criminal accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime associate and accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested by the FBI on July 2, 2020, in Bradford, New Hampshire, after months of evading authorities following Epstein’s death in federal custody. Prosecutors charged her with multiple federal counts, including enticement of minors, sex trafficking, and perjury related to her role in grooming and recruiting underage girls for Epstein’s abuse. The indictment alleged that Maxwell not only arranged travel and logistics for Epstein’s victims but also participated directly in the abuse, using her social status and charm to win the trust of vulnerable girls before delivering them into Epstein’s orbit.After her arrest, Maxwell was denied bail several times due to concerns that she posed an extreme flight risk, supported by evidence of wealth, international connections, and multiple passports. She was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn under intense supervision, a reflection of the public scrutiny and outrage following Epstein’s suspicious death. The case against Maxwell marked a major shift in the Epstein scandal, representing the first time someone so closely tied to Epstein was formally held accountable and signaling that survivors and the public might finally see some measure of justice in a case long plagued by secrecy and power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
