How Disgraced Prince  Andrew Attempted To Build A Suit Of Armor Out Of Philanthropy

How Disgraced Prince Andrew Attempted To Build A Suit Of Armor Out Of Philanthropy

For years, Prince Andrew held dozens — some estimates put it around 200 — of charity patronages and official royal-charity affiliations. Through Prince Andrew Charitable Trust (PACT), and initiatives such as his youth-education and entrepreneurship efforts, he presented himself as a public-spirited royal using his status to do good. That network of charities and institutions provided him with a veneer of respectability and influence: being associated with educational causes, technology and enterprise awards, youth outreach, and philanthropic work helped him cultivate an image of legitimacy and public service. This charitable web likely served as a buffer — intended to reassure the public and institutions that despite the scandal swirling around him, he remained a committed royal working for social good.

But as the scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein and abuse allegations gained traction, that armor cracked. After his controversial 2019 media interview, many charities began severing ties: dozens publicly removed him as patron, fearing reputational damage. Moreover, regulatory scrutiny exposed mis-management in his own charity: the watchdog closed PACT after finding unlawful payments (hundreds of thousands of pounds) to a trustee linked to his staff, forcing the charity to return the money. What began as a shield against scandal became, for many observers, proof that his charitable works lacked proper governance — and that the network he hoped would protect him instead deepened the perceived misconduct.

The  Survivors Class Action That Exposed JP Morgan's  Ties To Epstein (Part 5) (12/1/25)

The Survivors Class Action That Exposed JP Morgan's Ties To Epstein (Part 5) (12/1/25)

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a class action lawsuit titled Jane Doe 1, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. was filed. The complaint represented not only Jane Doe 1, but a broader group of alleged victims who claimed they suffered harm tied to the actions—and alleged inaction—of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The filing formally demanded a jury trial, signaling the plaintiffs’ intention to take the allegations into open court rather than resolve them quietly behind closed doors.The case was framed as both an individual and a class action complaint, raising the stakes considerably for the financial giant. By categorizing it this way, the plaintiffs positioned their claims as part of a larger systemic issue involving an entire group of alleged victims. The filing marked the beginning of what later became one of the most scrutinized legal battles connected to the Jeffrey Epstein network, setting the stage for intense public inquiry into the bank’s role and potential liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 00513854.DOCXBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein Was The Worst Kept Secret In The United States Virgin Island (12/1/25)

Jeffrey Epstein Was The Worst Kept Secret In The United States Virgin Island (12/1/25)

For years before Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands widely understood what was happening on Little St. James. People who lived and worked in the area have repeatedly stated that Epstein’s behavior was an open secret — from the constant flow of young girls being flown in by private jet, to the strict secrecy enforced by staff, to the unusual security presence around a private island that should have raised alarms for any serious oversight authority. Local pilots, service workers, marina employees, and residents have all described the same pattern: everyone knew something was wrong, and no one in a position of power stepped in. The idea that Epstein operated in total isolation, hidden from public awareness, is flatly contradicted by testimony from those who lived closest to his operations.That widespread awareness makes the official narrative — that elected officials and government representatives in the USVI had “no idea” what Epstein was doing — extremely difficult to accept. It strains credibility to believe that everyday residents saw the signs, yet politicians, law-enforcement leadership, and regulatory authorities somehow remained oblivious. Critics argue that the only realistic explanation is willful negligence or deliberate protection, not ignorance. When the public sees how much was known and how little was done, the claims of surprise from leadership look less like incompetence and more like self-preservation. And in the shadow of an international trafficking network that operated openly for years, the silence of officials becomes part of the story — not an excuse for it.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Harvard and the Epstein Fallout: The Mary Erdoes Decision (12/1/25)

Harvard and the Epstein Fallout: The Mary Erdoes Decision (12/1/25)

Harvard’s decision to install Mary Erdoes — the longtime CEO of the asset and wealth-management arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co. — onto the board of its endowment manager comes at a particularly fraught moment. Recent unsealed documents and public reporting reveal that Erdoes maintained regular contact with Epstein while he was a client, despite numerous warnings and widely known allegations of criminal sexual misconduct. Many of those communications have been described as “highly personal” and show that even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, executives under Erdoes’s supervision continued to handle his accounts — a decision that federal investigators now say reflects possible institutional complicity. With the broader scandal intensifying, Harvard’s choice to elevate Erdoes — rather than distance the university from those links — reads as a tone-deaf move that prioritizes financial pedigree over moral accountability.In making that appointment, Harvard risks underestimating how the optics — not to mention the facts — will land with students, alumni, and the public at large. To many, the decision signals indifference to the victims of Epstein’s crimes and raises serious doubts about Harvard’s commitment to ethical oversight and transparency. By putting someone closely tied to Epstein’s financial network in charge of stewarding the university’s endowment, Harvard has exposed itself to charges of hypocrisy and moral failure — undermining trust at a time when institutions everywhere are being called to answer for their links to abuse and exploitation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Harvard Endowment Appoints 3 New Directors, Including JPMorgan Exec Who Managed Epstein’s Bank Accounts | News | The Harvard CrimsonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

From Association to Participation: The New Allegations Made Against Disgraced  Andrew (12/1/25)

From Association to Participation: The New Allegations Made Against Disgraced Andrew (12/1/25)

New reporting has intensified scrutiny around Prince Andrew following allegations that he sent a young woman to Jeffrey Epstein, who subsequently reported being sexually abused by Epstein. According to accounts now under renewed examination, Andrew allegedly facilitated the introduction under the guise of networking and opportunity, despite the well-known concerns already circulating within elite circles about Epstein’s predatory behavior. If accurate, the allegation positions Andrew not as a peripheral figure who exercised poor judgment, but as an active participant who enabled access to a victim who later suffered harm. It also raises profound questions about what Andrew knew, when he knew it, and whether he deliberately ignored the warning signs attached to Epstein’s reputation.The allegation further undermines Andrew’s long-standing public defense that he was simply “unaware” of Epstein’s criminal behavior and maintained only a surface-level association. Instead, it depicts a scenario in which he may have used his status to funnel women into Epstein’s social orbit while simultaneously portraying himself as detached and uninvolved. Legal analysts and victim-advocacy groups argue that this development demands formal investigation rather than public relations statements or royal damage control. If corroborated, this would represent a grave escalation in Andrew’s alleged misconduct — shifting the narrative from questionable association to potential facilitation of abuse, with implications that extend far beyond personal embarrassment or reputational decline.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew told Epstein victim: I know he's been 'inappropriate' with another woman... a YEAR before ex-prince met his accuser Virginia Giuffre, lawyers for abused actress claim | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Great Betrayal: Trump, Epstein, and the Death of Accountability (12/1/25)

The Great Betrayal: Trump, Epstein, and the Death of Accountability (12/1/25)

The fight for transparency in the Epstein case has reached a breaking point, and it’s become impossible to ignore the role Donald Trump is playing in concealing the truth. Despite campaigning on promises to expose Epstein’s network and deliver justice, Trump has instead publicly dismissed the entire scandal as a “hoax,” undermining survivors and derailing efforts to uncover the truth. His refusal to release the Epstein files—paired with the delusion of his most devoted supporters, who treat him like a messianic figure—has turned political discourse into religious fanaticism. Families have fractured, friendships have collapsed, and critical thinking has evaporated as millions defend Trump not with facts but with blind faith. The cult-like devotion has transformed disappointment into national dysfunction, replacing accountability with worship and truth with propaganda.For the survivors of Epstein’s crimes, Trump’s betrayal is devastating. They were told to trust him, to believe that justice was coming, and instead were publicly humiliated and dismissed by the very man they believed was fighting for them.   His administration promised action but delivered nothing except excuses and obstruction. Meanwhile, Trump supporters continue to deny his documented connections to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, acting as though he was some undercover hero rather than a participant in the same elite circles. The result has been enormous damage to the pursuit of accountability: a swamp deeper and more toxic than ever, protected by people more interested in defending their idol than defending the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Zorro Ranch and Jeffrey Epstein And The Road To Silence (12/1/25)

Mega Edition: Zorro Ranch and Jeffrey Epstein And The Road To Silence (12/1/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was far more than a secluded estate—it was a fortress of influence, shielded by political connections, legal loopholes, and geographic isolation. Acquired in the early 1990s through ties to the powerful King family, the sprawling property benefited from a sex offender registry loophole that allowed Epstein to avoid public monitoring after his 2008 conviction. With friends like former Governor Bill Richardson, proximity to the elite Santa Fe Institute, and state trust land leases that expanded his buffer of privacy, Epstein found in New Mexico a jurisdiction uniquely suited to let him operate unchecked.Despite credible victim accounts placing abuse at the ranch, New Mexico authorities never conducted a serious investigation, choosing instead to hand the matter over to federal prosecutors. This “punting” avoided the political fallout that might have come from probing Epstein’s local connections and land deals, but it also ensured that years of potential evidence went uncollected. By the time the federal case took center stage in 2019, Zorro Ranch was little more than a missed opportunity for justice—proof that in New Mexico, as elsewhere, the powerful can secure safe harbor when the right people look the other way.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And His Morbid Fascination With Transhumanism (12/1/25)

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And His Morbid Fascination With Transhumanism (12/1/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s interest in transhumanism went far beyond idle curiosity—he saw it as a personal blueprint for shaping humanity’s future in his own image. Using his foundation and wealth, he funded research in genetics, neuroscience, AI, and evolutionary dynamics, forging ties with elite scientists and institutions. Publicly, this philanthropy framed him as a visionary; privately, it aligned with deeply narcissistic goals such as creating a genetically engineered bloodline via his “baby ranch” plan, preserving his brain and body through cryonics, and potentially merging his consciousness with advanced technology. These ambitions stripped transhumanism of its egalitarian ideals, twisting it into a vehicle for personal immortality, hereditary control, and dominance over human evolution.The scientific community’s willingness to accept his money—despite his criminal history—allowed Epstein to launder both his reputation and his dystopian ideas. Exclusive conferences, research grants, and one-on-one engagements gave him influence in shaping discourse on the future of humanity. His involvement underscores how speculative, high-stakes technologies can be exploited by the wealthy to entrench inequality and impose self-serving visions. Though Epstein’s death halted his plans, the infrastructure, relationships, and normalization of ethically perilous ideas he helped foster remain. His story stands as a cautionary tale: without strong ethical guardrails, the power to reshape life itself can slip into the hands of those driven not by the betterment of all, but by vanity, exploitation, and the desire to control the human future.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Glenn Dubin And His Place Within Jeffrey Epstein's Orbit (11/30/25)

Mega Edition: Glenn Dubin And His Place Within Jeffrey Epstein's Orbit (11/30/25)

Glenn Dubin is a billionaire hedge fund manager and major figure in New York’s high society whose long, troubling relationship with Jeffrey Epstein went far beyond casual acquaintance. Even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex crimes involving a minor, Dubin — along with his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin — kept him close, inviting him into their home, allowing him to spend holidays like Thanksgiving with their children, and maintaining financial and social ties. This wasn’t ignorance; it was an active choice to normalize a convicted sex offender in one of Manhattan’s most influential households, effectively lending Epstein the legitimacy he needed to remain welcome in elite circles.Dubin’s continued embrace of Epstein, despite years of mounting allegations and sworn victim testimony naming him as a participant in Epstein’s abuse, reveals a staggering moral blindness — or worse, a conscious decision to protect a friend whose crimes were well-documented. By keeping the door open for Epstein socially, professionally, and philanthropically, Dubin became part of the protective cocoon that allowed Epstein to survive and thrive after his conviction. In doing so, he not only damaged his own reputation beyond repair but also exemplified the elite complicity that kept Epstein’s network intact long after it should have collapsed.And that's not even the worst of what Glenn Dubin has been accused of...to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
