Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Alleged Attempt At Blackmailing Bill Gates (9/13/25)

The chess set—reported to be custom-carved so the pieces resembled Epstein and those in his orbit—wasn't a quirky conversation piece; it was theatrical signaling. A chessboard is a compact metaphor for control, hierarchy, and calculated sacrifice; to populate it with likenesses of yourself and your closest aides weaponizes that metaphor into an assertion: you stage the board, assign the roles, and you decide who moves and who gets sacrificed. The grotesque intimacy of turning people into game pieces collapses bodies and agency into objects of play, and that deliberate objectification is itself an accusation—an unsettling admission that the house was designed as a theatre of power, not a warm home.Worse, the set functioned as social shorthand for everyone who tolerated it. Sitting across from those carved pawns, Epstein’s guests were offered a choice: read the scene or pretend not to. That so many wealthy, powerful people treated such staging as “eccentric décor” rather than a glaring red flag reveals the moral rot behind the glamour. Either they were willfully blind, or they understood perfectly and accepted their place in the performance. Either way, the chess set stands as a tiny, obscene manifesto of an ecosystem built on predation and polished denial—taste turned into cover, symbolism into complicity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein and his young female pawns: Billionaire paedophile had chess set made that featured him as the king… and had models pose to be turned into hand-crafted pieces | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Alex Acosta’s appearance before Congress was nothing short of a masterclass in bureaucratic nonsense and evasive cowardice. Instead of accountability, he offered the same tired excuses and jargon-filled deflections, pretending that the Epstein plea deal was some sort of complicated chess match rather than what it truly was: a grotesque betrayal of justice. He smirked, stammered, and dressed up cowardice as prudence, insisting his hands were tied when in reality, he was the one tying them. It was a performance not of contrition but of arrogance, as if the public should feel lucky that this man even bothered to show up and grace them with his half-truths.Worse still, Acosta continues to play his role in the Epstein charade, feeding the illusion that this was merely an unfortunate footnote in a prosecutor’s career rather than a calculated decision that shielded a predator and his powerful friends. By refusing to admit fault or show genuine remorse, he reinforces the same wall of silence that has defined the entire cover-up from day one. His congressional testimony wasn’t about truth—it was about maintaining the narrative, keeping the spotlight off the networks of influence that Epstein served. Acosta wasn’t testifying for the people; he was testifying for the system that thrives on protecting the powerful, and in doing so, he revealed exactly why history will remember him as a coward who sold out justice and stood by it with a smirk.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Alex Acosta: Former US attorney defends Epstein’s 2008 plea deal in hours-long appearance on Capitol Hill | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew has become a perpetual liability for the British monarchy, with his scandals continuing to overshadow the institution’s attempts at modernization and public service. His long association with Jeffrey Epstein and subsequent settlement with Virginia Giuffre, while never an admission of guilt, has cemented him in the public mind as a man of disgrace who cannot be trusted. Every time his name resurfaces, it drags the monarchy back into a mire of sleaze and scandal, reminding the world of his recklessness and arrogance. His inability to account honestly for his relationships and behavior, paired with his disastrous BBC “Newsnight” interview, exposed not only his own lack of judgment but also the monarchy’s tone-deafness in handling crises.Even after being stripped of official duties, Andrew remains a thorn in the side of the royal family, his mere presence at events sparking public outrage and critical headlines. His clinging to privilege, combined with his refusal to step aside completely, undermines the monarchy’s carefully managed image of dignity and service. Instead of fading into obscurity, his scandals linger as a living reminder of hypocrisy at the heart of the institution—a prince who used his position recklessly and now stains the legacy of the monarchy with every reemergence. His behavior continues to erode the trust and respect the monarchy depends on for survival in the modern era.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein was able to secure political cover in the U.S. Virgin Islands through a combination of money, influence, and strategic alliances with elected officials. Court filings and investigative reports show that he funneled donations to politicians like Delegate Stacey Plaskett and leveraged his relationship with Cecile de Jongh, the former First Lady of the USVI, to shape local politics and policy in his favor. Epstein even enlisted de Jongh to help him track which politicians to support, while he quietly pushed for changes to sex-offender monitoring laws that would make it easier for him to move young women in and out of the territory. Despite his conviction, he continued to receive lucrative tax incentives and regulatory leniency, illustrating how deeply entrenched his influence was across the island’s power structure.The cover extended beyond donations into active suppression of accountability. Former Attorney General Denise George secured a $105 million settlement from Epstein’s estate and sued JPMorgan Chase for enabling his trafficking network, only to be abruptly fired shortly after filing the lawsuit. That firing, combined with legal dismissals in lawsuits alleging government complicity, reinforced suspicions that the USVI’s political establishment protected Epstein for years. While Epstein used the islands as his base of operations, the government that should have policed him instead appeared to enable him, providing the façade of legitimacy that allowed his crimes to continue unchecked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent and long-time associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was under growing French criminal investigations since around 2019 for alleged sexual exploitation, rape, trafficking of minors, and supplying underage girls to Epstein. Brunel founded agencies such as Karin Models and MC2 Model Management (with Epstein’s financial backing) and has been accused by former models of years of abuse: drugging, sexual assault, and exploiting young women who were often from vulnerable backgrounds. French prosecutors officially charged him in December 2020 with rape of minors (over 15) and sexual harassment, among other offenses, and investigators were probing his role in a wider network of abuse connected to Epstein.However, Brunel’s case never reached a full trial. In February 2022, he was found dead in his cell at La Santé Prison in Paris, reportedly by suicide, while in pre-trial detention. His death came after multiple suicide attempts. The result: many of his alleged victims were denied the opportunity for legal closure in court. His passing both ended the criminal proceedings against him and left significant questions unanswered about the fullness of his culpability, the extent of networked complicity, and how much evidence was gathered and might still yet emerge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In May 2007, as part of the federal investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking, the FBI planned to arrest him while he was judging a beauty pageant in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The move was highly strategic: they had gathered evidence and believed the event would provide an opportunity to act. However, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Southern Florida intervened and blocked the plan, deciding not to approve the indictment at that time. They delayed the case, and Epstein remained free for a longer period before ultimately negotiating the non-prosecution agreement instead of facing full federal charges.This beauty pageant episode has become emblematic of the deeper problems in how Epstein was handled: prosecutors overruling agents, delays in approving charges, and the decision to settle for a plea that many say let Epstein off too lightly. Supporters of the victims argue that had the plan to arrest Epstein at the pageant moved forward, it might have prevented further abuse and revealed more of the network of accomplices earlier on. The story underscores claims that higher-ups in the justice system cushioned Epstein from full accountability, allowing him to continue operating with impunity for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-wanted-arrest-epstein-virgin-islands-beauty-pageant-1-year-n1247788Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jimmy Kimmel, like most of the loud mouths who know little to nothing about Jeffrey Epstein, thinks it's a good idea to bring Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes up and frame those crimes and the years of abuse as a conspiracy theory, all in order to try and score "points" against someone he doesn't like. Meanwhile, what exactly has Kimmel done to bring light to the situation? Has he ever invited any of the survivors on his show? Has he ever questioned his pals the Clintons for their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? You all know the answers to those questions. In this episode, we take a look at Kimmel's latest comments about Jeffrey Epstein and how he attempted to label Aaron Rodgers as a conspiracy theorist for bringing it up. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jimmy Kimmel takes aim at Aaron Rodgers over his comments on Jeffrey Epstein and UFOs | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

High-end art is attractive to money launderers because the market is opaque, illiquid by design, and driven by subjective valuations that are easy to manipulate. Buyers can hide beneficial ownership behind shell companies, trusts and intermediaries, buy works in private sales or through friendly galleries (avoiding the transparency of public auctions), and then re-sell or re-collateralize the pieces to convert illicit cash into apparently legitimate wealth. Criminals exploit briefcases of cash, friendly dealers, falsified provenance and inflated invoices to mask the origin of funds; they also use tactics like “wash” trades or reciprocal purchases between related collectors to inflate prices and justify large transfers that look like ordinary art commerce but are actually value-shifting schemes. Because many transactions are routed through offshore vehicles and art advisors who act as gatekeepers, tracing ultimate ownership and the money trail is often slow and difficult for investigators.Beyond simple purchases and sales, art can be used as collateral for loans, leased, or held in freeports and bonded warehouses where paperwork and customs oversight are limited—allowing assets to be moved or monetized while avoiding immediate scrutiny. Regulators and investigators have also documented cases where artworks were used to hide or re-domesticate funds tied to corruption, sanctions evasion, and organized crime: opaque sales are followed by loans or resale that produce clean bank records, or by transfers through jurisdictions with weak AML controls. That combination of subjective pricing, private dealing, offshore structures, and weak reporting obligations has prompted global watchdogs and lawmakers to press for tighter anti-money-laundering rules in the art market.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
