The Epstein Laundromat: How Dirty Cash Stayed Clean (12/6/25)

The Epstein Laundromat: How Dirty Cash Stayed Clean (12/6/25)

In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn’t just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner’s personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can’t reconcile the numbers. These weren’t casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.

But none of Epstein’s financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank’s compliance failures weren’t accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner’s access, Black’s money, and JPMorgan’s infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein’s financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn’t just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.

Mega Edition: Billionaire Playboy's Club...A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Part 8) (1/22/26)

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine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-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Department Of Justice And Their Argument To Keep El Chapo Behind Bars (Part 11)

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Post-Mortem: The Alex Acosta OIG Interview — Anatomy of a Whitewash  (1/21/26)

Post-Mortem: The Alex Acosta OIG Interview — Anatomy of a Whitewash (1/21/26)

The Alex Acosta interview with the DOJ Office of the Inspector General was not a genuine act of oversight but a carefully managed exercise in institutional self-protection. From the outset, the OIG accepted Acosta’s framing that the Epstein deal was inherited, constrained, and unavoidable, rather than interrogating his clear authority as U.S. Attorney to reject or dismantle it. Extraordinary features of the agreement—blanket immunity, secrecy, victim exclusion, and shielding of unnamed co-conspirators—were treated as unfortunate byproducts instead of deliberate choices. The interview avoided probing motive, power, ambition, or external influence, and allowed “complexity” to substitute for accountability. Victims were reduced to procedural inconveniences, dissent within Acosta’s own office was minimized, and secrecy was discussed without examining intent. The questioning was gentle, the language sanitized, and the structure designed to preserve narrative control rather than expose wrongdoing. Oversight became theater, and truth became optional.The result was a report that closed ranks instead of opened files, offering procedural recommendations while refusing to assign responsibility for one of the most grotesque plea bargains in modern history. The interview failed because success would have required institutional self-indictment, something the DOJ was never willing to permit. It reinforced the message that elite defendants receive different justice, that internal watchdogs protect the system before victims, and that career incentives quietly shape prosecutorial restraint. More than a missed opportunity, the Acosta interview became proof of how accountability is neutralized through tone, omission, and deference. Rage is justified because this failure was engineered, not accidental. Disgust is warranted because victims were erased yet again under the banner of review. The true scandal is not only the Epstein deal itself, but the system’s refusal to confront how and why it happened.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Six Percent Approval: America’s Verdict on the DOJ’s Epstein Cover-Up  (1/21/26)

Six Percent Approval: America’s Verdict on the DOJ’s Epstein Cover-Up (1/21/26)

A brand-new CNN/SSRS poll shows overwhelming public dissatisfaction with how the Justice Department under the Trump administration has handled the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Only 6% of Americans say they’re satisfied with the amount of information released so far — even though Congress passed a law in late 2025 requiring the DOJ to disclose all unclassified Epstein-related files. The data reveal that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the government is intentionally withholding information, a sentiment especially strong among Democrats and independents, though it crosses party lines. The low approval reflects frustration with heavy redactions, slow disclosure, and missed deadlines that have left less than a tiny fraction of the files public despite mounting calls for transparency.In a separate but related development, a large public installation appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. around Epstein’s birthday: a replica of an alleged birthday card from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The mock card, part of a protest art piece by an anonymous group, draws attention to the controversial relationship and the broader Epstein controversy. The artwork references a note reportedly found in Epstein’s “birthday book,” which Trump has denied writing, and invites visitors to leave messages criticizing the handling of the files and the administration’s response. It has become a focal point for discussion and protest, underscoring how the Epstein issue continues to resonate politically and culturallyto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Six percent of Americans satisfied with amount of Epstein files released so far: PollGiant Recreation of Birthday Message Trump Reportedly Sent to Epstein Displayed in D.C.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
