Former Ohio State University Wrestlers Demand An Investigation Into Les Wexner

The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein’s high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability. The conclusion, ultimately, feels like a shrug—a bureaucratic absolution of one of the most disgraceful collapses of federal prosecutorial integrity in modern history. It is less a reckoning than a rubber stamp on institutional failure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2003, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein joined forces with a small group of high-powered figures, including Michael Wolff and Mortimer Zuckerman, in a bid to purchase New York Magazine. The group submitted a multimillion-dollar offer in hopes of seizing editorial control and rebranding themselves as major players in the media world. Although their bid ultimately failed—coming in second-lowest—the attempt reflected Epstein’s broader interest in media ownership and narrative control. Not long after, he partnered again with Zuckerman to invest millions into another venture, Radar magazine, which fizzled out after only a few issues.What makes this story particularly disturbing is not the failure of the deal, but what it represented: two disgraced men with a history of predation trying to buy a platform that shapes public opinion. Epstein and Weinstein weren’t just looking for financial investment—they were seeking cultural legitimacy and a shield from scrutiny. The attempted acquisition of a reputable magazine was a calculated move to soften their images and possibly bury or spin the stories that could one day undo them. It’s a stark example of how the powerful use media not just to shape markets, but to rewrite their own sins.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-media-connections-weinstein-career-2019-7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who became notorious for his involvement in a high-profile sex trafficking ring. Born on January 20, 1953, Epstein worked as a financier and was well-connected with various influential individuals, including politicians, business tycoons, and celebrities.Epstein's activities came to light in the early 2000s when he was investigated by law enforcement agencies for allegedly sexually exploiting underage girls. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida and was sentenced to 18 months in jail. However, he served only 13 months and was granted a controversial work release program.Epstein's case gained renewed attention in 2019 when he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors. The indictment accused him of operating a vast network that recruited underage girls for sexual exploitation, with incidents alleged to have taken place in his luxurious residences in New York, Florida, and other locations.Epstein's connections to powerful figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew, and numerous other prominent individuals, raised significant concerns and led to widespread speculation about the extent of his activities and potential co-conspirators.Before he could stand trial for the federal charges, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City on August 10, 2019. The official cause of death was ruled as suicide by hanging, but his death sparked numerous conspiracy theories and allegations of foul play due to the high-profile nature of the case and the potential implications for those connected to Epstein.Epstein's death did not bring an end to the investigations surrounding his activities. Civil lawsuits against his estate, filed by numerous victims, continued, aiming to seek justice and financial compensation.Furthermore, government agencies and law enforcement authorities continued their efforts to uncover the extent of his sex trafficking ring and any possible co-conspirators involved.The case of Jeffrey Epstein remains a subject of public interest and scrutiny, highlighting the issue of sex trafficking and the abuse of power. It exposed the vulnerabilities of the justice system and raised questions about the influence of wealth and privilege.As the lawsuit between JP Morgan, Jes Staley and The USVI continues to roll on, I think it's important to look at the USVI and their behavior during the time Jeffrey Epstein was a resident there and in this episode that is exactly what we do and we are asking the question:Why didn't the USVI do more to stop Jeffrey Epstein?(commercial at 13:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:On Epstein’s ‘Little St. Jeff’s’ island, a hideaway where money bought influence | The StarBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Manhattan prosecutors in New York played a troubling role in allowing Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse to continue largely uninterrupted. As journalist Jane Coaston detailed, a Manhattan assistant district attorney even petitioned to classify Epstein as a low-risk sex offender—opting to call for the most lenient category possible under the law. This decision had consequences: Epstein never registered in person with the NYPD as required, effectively sidestepping the mandatory check-ins every 90 days—even though a judge explicitly stated this would be a condition of his registration.Meanwhile, New York City authorities seemingly looked the other way. Epstein failed to report his address and skipped the mandatory check-ins for eight years, yet no enforcement actions were taken. In essence, local prosecutors and police enabled his pattern of offending to persist unchecked. By systematically failing to enforce New York’s own sex-offender regulations, the state protected Epstein—rather than his victims—allowing him to evade accountability and continue preying on vulnerable girls.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein: the state of New York protected Epstein — not his victims | VoxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Florida federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, led by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, were fully aware of damning allegations into Jeffrey Epstein’s predatory sexual behavior—including testimony that he exploited teenage girls as young as 14 in New York—as early as 2006. Despite this, in 2008 the Feds struck a secretive non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to plead to minor state prostitution charges. The deal granted him immunity from federal prosecution and shielded not only him but also unnamed co-conspirators—including possibly powerful individuals—from federal scrutiny. Grand jury transcripts from 2006 and 2007 confirm that investigators had solid frontline narratives and evidence of abuse, yet chose to sideline them in favor of a lenient plea that allowed Epstein to serve just over a year with generous work-release privileges. Acosta, for his part, has since claimed that he was pressured by higher-ups in the Justice Department to back off—a troubling detail that suggests this wasn't merely prosecutorial discretion, but top-down protection.Critically, this arrangement was not borne out of investigative insufficiency—it reflected a systemic choice. The leniency bestowed on Epstein exposed deep flaws in the justice system, where privilege and influence appear to outweigh victim protection. Prosecutors blatantly sidelined federal charges despite being aware of New York-based victims, while those victims were kept in the dark regarding their rights under federal law. This miscarriage of justice underscores a broader failure: not only did powerful figures in law enforcement choose expediency over accountability, but they also set a chilling precedent that wealth and high-level connections can insulate perpetrators from the full course of the law.(commercial at 11:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-florida-feds-knew-york-victim-epstein-indictment/story?id=69088738Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Lauren Pisciotta, who served as Kanye West’s assistant and later head of staff between 2021 and 2022 (or through 2023, according to some filings), has filed an amended lawsuit leveling severe accusations against West. She alleges he repeatedly made lewd comments about her body, groped her, and coerced her into sexual encounters by dangling false promises of career advancement. The complaint accuses him of forcing her to watch him having sex with others, sending sexually explicit content, and, on multiple occasions, gaslighting and forcibly touching her. In particularly disturbing incidents, she claims West forced oral sex on her, attempted to penetrate her with his fingers, grabbed her throat at a concert, and locked her in a private room on his plane where he sexually assaulted her.Beyond these allegations of sexual battery, Pisciotta also accuses West of sex trafficking and stalking. She states that he recruited her under the guise of professional opportunity and then used coercion and career promises as leverage for compliance—actions she deems trafficking. She also recounts following her departure, West continued harassing her: allegedly moving into her apartment complex, arranging a “swatting” incident in Florida to provoke law enforcement at her home, and sending unwanted deliveries—all of which she views as persistent stalking and intimidation . West’s legal team denies the claims, labeling them “baseless” and accusing Pisciotta of extortion.to contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kanye West accused of sexual assault, trafficking by Lauren PisciottaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Elon Musk has been loudly criticizing the DOJ and FBI over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, calling out what he sees as a disgraceful failure to hold powerful figures accountable. He presents himself as an outsider raging against the elite, demanding justice and transparency from the very institutions he claims are protecting predators. But there's a glaring contradiction that undercuts this entire performance: Musk himself once sat down at the same table as Jeffrey Epstein. At a private billionaire’s dinner, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction was public knowledge, Musk broke bread with a man already known to be a convicted sex offender—making his current outrage feel more like calculated damage control than genuine moral concern.The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. You don’t get to dine with a monster, stay silent for over a decade, and then pretend to be the loudest voice in the room demanding accountability. Musk’s selective outrage reeks of self-preservation, not justice. He wasn’t just in the same room—he was a participant in the same closed-door culture of wealth, access, and impunity that allowed Epstein to thrive. And now, as public pressure mounts, he wants to rewrite the past, cast himself as a truth-teller, and hope no one remembers where he was when it mattered. But history has receipts—and the dinner napkin still has his name on it.Elon Musk isn’t the only one feigning moral outrage about Jeffrey Epstein while conveniently forgetting the dinner table they once shared. In 2011, at a private billionaires’ dinner during a TED conference, Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other tech titans sat shoulder to shoulder with Epstein—a man already convicted of soliciting sex from a minor. These weren’t ignorant bystanders. Epstein’s name was radioactive by then, his crimes well documented. Yet these men, who now pretend to be disgusted by the cover-up, saw no issue sharing wine and strategy with him over filet mignon and handshakes. It was a who’s who of unchecked power pretending Epstein was just another quirky financier with connections.Fast-forward to now, and the same billionaires want to position themselves as the public’s moral compass—demanding justice, accountability, and answers from the government while playing dumb about their own proximity to the rot. Musk rails against the DOJ, Bezos hides behind silence, and the rest of them act like their invitations got lost in the mail. But this wasn’t some accident. They sat there. They talked. They mingled. And they helped normalize a predator. These men didn’t just witness the corruption—they were part of the network that allowed it to keep operating in plain sight. Now they want to shout from the rooftops as if they weren’t once whispering in the same room. That’s not courage. That’s cleanup.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:In 2011, Jeffrey Epstein Was A Known Sex Offender.
