Jes Staley Goes On The Attack And New Reports Of A Cache Of Epstein Videos And Photos

Recent revelations have intensified scrutiny of major news organizations and their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, particularly following the release of emails showing New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. communicating with Epstein in a manner critics say appeared closer to strategic guidance than objective journalism. The correspondence has revived longstanding accusations that influential media outlets—including ABC, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and the New York Times—minimized or suppressed reporting that could have brought Epstein’s activities to light sooner. Multiple newsrooms previously dismissed concerns as fringe speculation or “conspiracy theory,” creating an environment in which survivors struggled to be heard and credible leads were not pursued. Critics argue that these decisions, driven by the desire to preserve relationships with powerful figures in Epstein’s network, contributed to years of continued abuse.Today, media organizations have adopted a markedly different tone, positioning themselves as champions of transparency and accountability, but skepticism remains high among the public and advocates for survivors. Many contend that the press’s recent coverage is less a moral awakening than a defensive reaction to overwhelming evidence that can no longer be ignored. Trust in legacy media has eroded as news consumers question how such systemic failures were allowed to persist unchallenged and why no meaningful internal reckoning has occurred. The episode has reignited calls for accountability, not only for Epstein’s associates but also for the institutions that played a role in shielding them from scrutiny. For survivors and those demanding full disclosure, the issue is no longer whether the truth will emerge—but whether the media will finally confront its own role in delaying it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Cecile de Jongh, former First Lady of the U.S. Virgin Islands, admitted in court filings that she stayed at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan apartment in 2017 while undergoing knee-replacement surgery. According to the reporting, she explained the stay as a matter of convenience because the apartment offered an elevator and close proximity to the hospital. However, the acknowledgment has intensified scrutiny over the long-standing relationship between Epstein and political leadership in the Virgin Islands, raising questions about the nature and depth of the ties between Epstein and the territory’s most influential public figures.The stay is part of a broader pattern documented in lawsuits and financial records that show de Jongh maintained an extensive working relationship with Epstein for years, including serving as a key facilitator for his business and political interests in the Virgin Islands while her husband was governor. She has been accused in court filings of acting as a conduit for Epstein’s influence over legislation, helping secure visas for young women associated with him, and requesting tuition support for her children. These details further fuel allegations that Virgin Islands officials not only tolerated Epstein’s presence but actively helped maintain the conditions that allowed him to operate unchecked for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Former U.S. Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh Jr. has filed a memorandum in federal court seeking to dismiss, transfer, or strike the lawsuit brought by five anonymous women identified as Jane Does 1-5, who accuse the Virgin Islands government and several current and former officials of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. De Jongh argues that the Southern District of New York lacks jurisdiction, asserting he has been a resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands for decades and has no substantial ties to New York that would justify the case being heard there. He also claims he was improperly served at a Manhattan address where he says he does not reside or maintain control, insisting the lawsuit should be dismissed or moved to the Virgin Islands, where the alleged conduct occurred.The memorandum further contends that even if the court finds jurisdiction proper, the claims against De Jongh should still be thrown out because they are barred by prior settlement releases signed by Epstein’s victims as part of earlier agreements with his estate. He argues that the complaint fails to allege specific wrongful acts committed by him and maintains that any actions connected to Epstein occurred while he was serving in his official capacity, which he says grants him legal immunity. De Jongh also asks the court to strike portions of the complaint as irrelevant and prejudicial, describing them as inflammatory rather than grounded in fact. The filing adds another layer to the expanding legal fight over what government officials knew— and failed to stop—while Epstein operated in the Virgin Islands.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Settlement agreements reached with Jeffrey Epstein’s estate included a little-noticed carveout that allowed some survivors to continue pursuing claims against powerful figures connected to Epstein, even after accepting compensation. These provisions weren’t accidental; they were crafted to preserve the ability to target individuals believed to have played a role beyond Epstein himself. At least one survivor signaled plans to use that pathway to bring legal action against high-profile Wall Street executives Leon Black and Jes Staley, asserting that accountability should extend to those who enabled, protected, or benefitted from Epstein’s operations.The existence of these carveouts shifted the landscape of post-Epstein litigation. Instead of closing the book on the case, the settlements effectively opened new fronts — placing influential financiers back under scrutiny and raising the possibility of additional lawsuits that could broaden public understanding of the network surrounding Epstein. It reflected a larger sentiment among survivors: Epstein may be gone, but the system that supported him was far from dismantled, and there remained unfinished business in pursuit of the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s properties were widely reported to be heavily wired for both video and audio recording, turning his homes into surveillance hubs rather than mere residences. His Manhattan townhouse was said to contain hidden cameras placed throughout bedrooms, bathrooms, and guest areas, all feeding into a private media room accessible through a concealed door. Multiple accusers have described seeing walls of screens displaying live feeds from around the house, suggesting that Epstein was monitoring visitors without their knowledge. Similar claims have been made about Little Saint James, where the island was reportedly blanketed with cameras and audio systems strategically positioned to capture conversations and interactions everywhere on the property.These surveillance systems are believed to have served a specific purpose: leverage. Epstein was known for cultivating relationships with powerful individuals, and the idea that he recorded private encounters in his homes has led many to believe he stockpiled compromising material for blackmail, influence, or protection. Reports of specialized rooms, sound-isolated spaces, and equipment built directly into the architecture reinforce suspicions that documenting sensitive behavior was not an accident — it was the design. The sophistication and secrecy behind these systems have only deepened public speculation that Epstein’s real currency was information, and that much of what he captured was removed or buried long before investigators ever arrived.to contact me:bobbycapucci@prottonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

One day after Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell, Richard Kahn — executor of Epstein’s estate — was reportedly photographed entering Epstein’s Manhattan mansion and walking out with a large bag in hand. At a moment when the residence should have been under strict control as an active crime scene and evidence-preservation site, why was someone connected to Epstein’s inner circle seemingly allowed unrestricted access? And more importantly, what exactly was in that bag?This incident raises a larger and far more troubling question: if items were being removed from Epstein’s properties so quickly after his death, how can anyone trust that the evidence collected — or what remains of it — represents the full truth? If a man responsible for managing Epstein’s estate could walk in and walk out with materials before investigators completed their work, what else might have been removed, swapped, or buried before the public ever had a chance to see it?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
