Morning Update:  Ghislaine Maxwell Eligible For Work Release And The Administration Passes The Epstein Buck (8/13/25)

Morning Update: Ghislaine Maxwell Eligible For Work Release And The Administration Passes The Epstein Buck (8/13/25)

The Trump administration has publicly shifted blame onto the judiciary after Judge Paul Engelmayer denied the DOJ’s request to unseal the Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts. Officials characterized the ruling as the sole obstacle to transparency, framing the decision as an independent judicial choice that left them powerless. This narrative positions the court as the reason critical evidence remains sealed, sidestepping the fact that the administration’s legal strategy relied on a request widely expected to be rejected under long-standing grand jury secrecy rules.

Critics argue this was a calculated move, allowing the DOJ to appear committed to public disclosure while ensuring the outcome protected powerful individuals named in the proceedings. By portraying the denial as a judicial overreach, the administration diverts public scrutiny from its own role in structuring a motion that was legally doomed from the outset. The result is a narrative that casts the White House and DOJ as frustrated truth-seekers—while the practical effect is the continued suppression of information that could implicate high-profile figures in Epstein’s network.

Reports that Ghislaine Maxwell could be considered for a work release program have drawn swift outrage, given the gravity of her crimes and the high-profile nature of her conviction. Critics point out that such leniency would be a slap in the face to survivors, especially in light of the systemic failures that allowed her and Jeffrey Epstein to operate for decades. The very notion of Maxwell leaving prison custody for any form of outside employment fuels accusations that the system remains rigged for the well-connected, where wealth and influence translate into privileges ordinary inmates could never dream of.


The idea isn’t just offensive—it’s a stark reminder of how the justice system bends under the weight of celebrity and political entanglements. Work release for someone convicted of trafficking minors in connection with one of the most notorious sex abuse networks in modern history would send a clear message: if you’re rich enough, powerful enough, and connected enough, consequences are negotiable. This isn’t rehabilitation—it’s erosion of accountability, and it turns the concept of justice into little more than a press release slogan.

Judge Rakoff Fast Tracks The Epstein Survivor Lawsuits Against Bank Of America And Mellon BNY (10/30/25)

Judge Rakoff Fast Tracks The Epstein Survivor Lawsuits Against Bank Of America And Mellon BNY (10/30/25)

Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff has accelerated litigation brought by a woman who says she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein, ordering the case against Bank of America (BofA) and The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) onto a fast track. The plaintiff (referred to as “Jane Doe”) alleges the banks knowingly facilitated Epstein’s trafficking operation, pointing to an account opened at BofA at Epstein’s direction and alleging BNY processed around $378 million in payments to trafficking victims. The judge set November deadlines for motions to dismiss, demands full discovery by late February 2026, and indicated trials could begin in May or June 2026.The lawsuits bring fresh scrutiny to how major financial institutions may have turned a blind eye—or worse—to red flags around Epstein’s operations. In the BofA complaint, the claim is made that the bank failed to file required Suspicious Activity Reports despite multiple warning signs, and profited from Epstein’s business. The BNY suit accuses the bank of giving credit lines and processing vast sums tied to Epstein’s model-agency front used in trafficking. Both banks say they will defend vigorously. The move follows earlier suits against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank that settled for hundreds of millions of dollars without admissions of liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Epstein Victim Lawsuits Against Bank of America and BNY Moving Quickly - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew Is Threatened With A "Public Prosecution" In The U.K.  (10/30/25)

Prince Andrew Is Threatened With A "Public Prosecution" In The U.K. (10/30/25)

In recent days a campaign group called Republic has announced it has instructed lawyers to investigate Prince Andrew for potential legal action over allegations of sexual assault, corruption and misconduct in public office connected to his past ties with Jeffrey Epstein and the claims made by his accuser Virginia Giuffre. The group says if sufficient evidence is found, it may proceed with a private prosecution in the UK — an “unprecedented step,” they say, given that traditional criminal investigation avenues have repeatedly declined further action.Alongside the legal moves, Prince Andrew is also under institutional pressure: a parliamentary watchdog has publicly queried his use of the Windsor-Estate property known as Royal Lodge, pointing to concerns about value-for-money and privileges of his tenancy under the Crown Estate lease. This signals a broader erosion of the informal protections he once enjoyed. While Andrew continues to deny all wrongdoing, the renewed scrutiny from both public bodies and private campaigners suggests that the legal and reputational stakes for him have risen significantly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew 'faces private prosecution' over allegations of sexual assault, corruption and misconduct in public office | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Battle For Justice Against Epstein Raged Long Before The Miami Herald Investigation (10/30/25)

The Battle For Justice Against Epstein Raged Long Before The Miami Herald Investigation (10/30/25)

What most people don’t realize is that the Miami Herald didn’t “expose” Jeffrey Epstein’s sweetheart deal — three of his victims and their lawyers did. Long before the headlines, those women and attorneys Paul Cassell and Brad Edwards had been fighting for nearly a decade to uncover how then–U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta secretly gave Epstein and his network immunity from prosecution. Acosta’s office violated the Crime Victims Rights Act by hiding the non-prosecution agreement and misleading the victims into thinking the federal case was still alive. The Justice Department fought the victims at every turn, denying them information and arguing they had no rights, but Cassell and Edwards refused to quit. Their persistence forced the truth out: Epstein’s elite legal team dictated the deal, silenced victims, and helped him serve just 13 cushy months while his crimes went largely untouched.The case exposed far more than Epstein’s depravity — it revealed a justice system built to serve power, not people. Poor, vulnerable girls were targeted, dismissed, and smeared while prosecutors and billionaires protected one another. The same biases that fail defendants crushed the victims too, showing how easily money warps the law. But despite every obstacle, those women and their lawyers won a ruling confirming the government’s illegal concealment, proving that even against billionaires and corrupt officials, truth can still claw its way to the surface. Their courage didn’t just expose Epstein — it ripped the mask off the system that shielded him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Billionaires Playboy Club:   A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 11 Part 3) (10/30/25)

The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 11 Part 3) (10/30/25)

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 OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's  Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 5-6) (10/30/25)

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 5-6) (10/30/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten:  Al Kite

Gone But Not Forgotten: Al Kite

Al Kite's murder is one of the most chilling and perplexing unsolved cases in Colorado. In 2004, the 53-year-old Aurora man rented out his basement to a tenant who turned out to be a sadistic killer operating under a fake identity. The tenant brutally tortured Kite over several hours before murdering him, then vanished without a trace, leaving behind no forensic evidence and using multiple false identities. Despite a composite sketch and nationwide investigation, the killer, described as having an Eastern European accent, remains unidentified. Theories suggest he may have been a professional assassin or serial predator, but to this day, the case remains a haunting mystery, with investigators still pursuing leads in hopes of bringing justice to Kite's family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
