Mega Edition: Leon Black And Darthmouth (10/16/25)
Leon Black, a billionaire financier and Dartmouth alumnus, has faced growing scrutiny over his long and lucrative association with Jeffrey Epstein — scrutiny that has extended to his alma mater. Black and his wife donated $48 million to Dartmouth College, funding the Black Family Visual Arts Center, which bears their name. However, revelations that Black paid Epstein $158 million for “tax and estate planning services” between 2012 and 2017 — years after Epstein’s conviction for sex crimes — sparked outrage within the Dartmouth community. Critics argued that maintaining Black’s name on campus was incompatible with the college’s stated values. Epstein had also been listed as a trustee on Black’s family foundation, further entangling the financier’s legacy with that of the disgraced predator.The Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous feminist art collective known for holding cultural institutions accountable for gender and racial justice, publicly challenged Black over his ties to Epstein. They canceled a book deal with Phaidon Press (which is owned by Black) upon learning of his “extensive and shady dealings” with Epstein. They also led campaigns urging MoMA to remove Black from its board, installing public posters outside the museum and rallying other artists and activists to pressure the institution to sever ties with donors linked to sexual misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Epstein Estate And It's Ridiculous Claims Of Being Impoverished
Executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have claimed liquidity problems as the main reason behind delays in paying victims and settling legal obligations. In early 2021, the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program abruptly paused payments after the estate informed the fund administrator that it “did not have sufficient liquidity to fully satisfy” new compensation requests. The estate’s lawyers argued that while Epstein’s holdings were valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, much of it was tied up in illiquid assets such as real estate, private aircraft, and art—making it difficult to generate immediate cash for payouts. Properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands remained on the market for months, with sales hindered by legal liens and ongoing investigations.Critics—including victims’ attorneys and the U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General—rejected those claims as a delay tactic, accusing the executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, of mismanagement and prioritizing their own legal defenses over restitution. They argued that Epstein’s estate continued to fund legal teams and operational expenses while victims waited for promised payments. The backlash led to court motions seeking to freeze estate assets until full transparency was provided. Eventually, after asset sales began moving forward, the fund resumed operations, but the episode underscored the ongoing mistrust surrounding how Epstein’s wealth has been handled since his death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Deutsche Bank, The Epstein Survivors And The Trial That Never Came
Deutsche Bank managed to avoid a public trial in the Jeffrey Epstein–related lawsuit by agreeing to a $75 million payout to Epstein’s accusers. The settlement, reached in federal court in 2023, effectively shut down what would have been a highly damaging class-action trial that could have forced the bank to disclose extensive internal communications, compliance records, and executive correspondence about its relationship with Epstein. Legal analysts described the deal as a strategic move to cap financial exposure while preventing further reputational fallout. The agreement also meant that top Deutsche Bank executives would not have to testify under oath about the bank’s decision to keep Epstein as a client years after his sex crime conviction.This settlement followed a broader pattern of financial settlements replacing courtroom accountability. In 2020, Deutsche Bank paid a $150 million fine to New York regulators for failing to monitor Epstein’s suspicious transactions, a penalty the bank accepted without admitting wrongdoing. By resolving both cases through monetary settlements, Deutsche Bank avoided the discovery and witness testimony that a full trial would have required. The deals enabled the bank to protect senior management from cross-examination while publicly presenting the payouts as part of a commitment to “learn from past mistakes.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Deutsche Bank And The 75 Million Dollar Epstein Related Payout
Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit brought by women who accused the bank of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The plaintiffs claimed Deutsche Bank ignored multiple red flags and continued to process transactions that directly facilitated Epstein’s abuse—payments that were allegedly routed to victims, recruiters, and associates even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction was widely known. The settlement, reached in 2023, marked one of the largest financial agreements of its kind between a major bank and victims of sexual exploitation, with court filings revealing that Epstein maintained dozens of accounts at Deutsche Bank between 2013 and 2018.In addition to the civil settlement, Deutsche Bank previously paid a $150 million regulatory fine in 2020 to New York’s Department of Financial Services for “significant compliance failures” related to its relationship with Epstein. The bank admitted it had misclassified Epstein as a low-risk client despite internal warnings and compliance alerts noting his criminal history. Executives later described taking Epstein on as a “critical mistake,” and following public outcry, Deutsche Bank announced an overhaul of its anti–money laundering systems. The settlement underscored how major financial institutions helped sustain Epstein’s criminal enterprise long after his name should have been toxic in global banking circles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Gates And The Jeffrey Epstein Questions During His Interview On Australian TV
In a televised interview aired in Australia, Bill Gates was pressed about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein and asked whether he regretted having that connection. During the exchange, he acknowledged that he “shouldn’t have had dinners” with Epstein, but he adamantly denied there was ever any deeper partnership or formal alignment between Epstein and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates maintained that his interactions with Epstein were limited and opportunistic rather than indicative of any ongoing relationship.The interview drew attention because it forced Gates into a defensive posture over years-old ties at a moment when Epstein’s legacy remains deeply controversial. He was challenged repeatedly on whether his ex-wife, Melinda, had warned him about Epstein’s intentions and whether any philanthropic deals had been discussed—questions he deflected by restating his regret while pushing back on accusations of deeper involvement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Man in Epstein's Cockpit: Larry Visoski’s 2009 Deposition (Part 12) (10/17/25)
In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims’ attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. Represented by Critton & Reinhardt, Visoski repeatedly emphasized that his duties were strictly professional: piloting aircraft, maintaining schedules, and ensuring safe transport. When pressed about the ages of female passengers, he claimed he never knowingly flew minors and denied witnessing any sexual activity or misconduct aboard Epstein’s planes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Diddy Gets Slammed With Suffocating Post Release Conditions (10/17/25)
After his sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs will face extremely restrictive conditions during a five-year supervised release period following his roughly 50-month prison term. These conditions include mandatory outpatient treatment for both substance abuse and mental health, adherence to all prescribed medications, and enrollment in a domestic violence intervention program. He is also permanently barred from owning or possessing any firearms or destructive devices. The supervision is designed to tightly control his movements and behavior, ensuring compliance through regular check-ins and monitoring.Beyond the behavioral conditions, Combs will also be subject to deeply invasive oversight measures. He must submit to warrantless searches of his person, residence, vehicles, and electronic devices at any time. He is prohibited from contacting any victims or witnesses involved in his case and must comply with strict financial transparency requirements, allowing authorities to review his records and transactions. These post-release conditions reflect the government’s intent to keep him under a microscope long after his prison term ends, signaling that his punishment and scrutiny will continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces strict conditions after his 50-month prison sentenceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nobody’s Girl, Everybody’s Crime: Virginia Robert's And The Trauma That Haunted Her (10/17/25)
In Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Giuffre opens up about the full, unrelenting scope of her trauma — the kind that doesn’t fade with time or distance. She writes about how, for years after escaping Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, the abuse followed her in the form of brutal, recurring nightmares. These dreams, she says, weren’t abstract or distant; they were graphic replays of the hell she endured. In them, she relives the moments of being trapped and powerless — “greedy, heaving men on top of me,” as she describes in one passage — faces of powerful men she says she could never forget no matter how much therapy or time passed. These weren’t just faceless monsters in her dreams, but the same influential figures who smiled for cameras by day and committed atrocities behind closed doors. Each nightmare pulled her back into that same room, that same suffocating darkness, where her voice was taken and her body wasn’t hers to protect.Giuffre writes that even as she built a life beyond Epstein, married, and became a mother, the shadows of her past crept into every quiet moment. The nightmares would come without warning, often triggered by a sound, a smell, or a fleeting image — and they would leave her in tears, shaking and gasping for air. In Nobody’s Girl, she describes waking up drenched in sweat, her heart pounding, the faces of her abusers flashing before her eyes. The emotional toll was relentless: feelings of shame, self-blame, and fear blended into a kind of nightly punishment for crimes she never committed. Through therapy, advocacy, and confronting her past publicly, she began to reclaim fragments of peace — but even then, she admits that healing isn’t clean or complete. Her nightmares became both a curse and a reminder: a symbol of the damage inflicted not just by Epstein and Maxwell, but by the entire system of enablers who let it happen.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed she was haunted by images of 'greedy, heaving men' who abused herBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
