Billionaire Howard Rubin Gets Smacked With Serious Charges Including Human Trafficking (9/29/25)

Billionaire Howard Rubin Gets Smacked With Serious Charges Including Human Trafficking (9/29/25)

Howard Rubin, a retired New York financier, was indicted in September 2025 on a 10-count federal indictment alleging a decade-long sex-trafficking scheme. Prosecutors assert that between 2009 and 2019, Rubin and his former personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, recruited dozens of women—often under false pretenses—to travel to New York for commercial sex acts involving bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadomasochism, and other abuses. The indictment claims Rubin controlled a Manhattan penthouse featuring a soundproofed room dubbed “The Dungeon,” equipped with bondage gear and devices that could electrocute victims, and that he often ignored safe words, continued assaults beyond consent, and subjected victims to lasting physical and psychological harm.

Alongside the trafficking charges, Rubin also faces a count of bank fraud tied to concealing over $8 million in financing while arranging a mortgage for Powers’ residence. Arrested at his Connecticut home, Rubin pleaded not guilty, but a judge denied bail, citing him as both a flight risk and a danger to others. Powers was separately taken into custody in Texas. If convicted, Rubin faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and could receive a life sentence, marking one of the most high-profile sex-trafficking prosecutions against a former Wall Street figure.

How Did Those Closest To Epstein Side Step The Long Arm Of The Law?

How Did Those Closest To Epstein Side Step The Long Arm Of The Law?

Jeffrey Epstein’s story is about far more than one predator; it’s about the powerful network that protected him. While survivor accounts have finally come to light, the elite figures who surrounded Epstein—politicians, billionaires, academics, and global power brokers—have largely avoided scrutiny. His influence wasn’t rooted only in wealth, but in access and the willingness of institutions to shield him long after credible allegations surfaced.The failures that enabled him remain unresolved: a 2007 plea deal that granted immunity to unnamed co-conspirators, missing evidence, and a justice system seemingly designed to protect the influential at the expense of victims. Epstein’s death eliminated the one person who could have named names, leaving the broader structure untouched. Until the enablers are exposed, accountability remains an illusion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein And His Kind Of Scientist

Jeffrey Epstein And His Kind Of Scientist

Many powerful figures were connected to Jeffrey Epstein not by accident, but because his world provided access, influence, and a level of secrecy that appealed to elites. The piece discusses how prominent individuals across politics, business, and media continued associating with Epstein even after serious allegations were known, suggesting that they viewed the benefits of proximity—connections, financial doors opening, and social credibility—as outweighing the risks. Epstein wasn’t operating on the fringe; he was embedded in elite circles that helped legitimize him.It also emphasizes how structural protections helped shield both Epstein and those around him. Institutions with the authority to intervene often failed to act, while wealthy and influential associates had the power to suppress scrutiny and shape the narrative. The scale of elite involvement is portrayed as a key reason full accountability has never materialized: exposing Epstein fully would require exposing the network that enabled him, and that remains a threshold the system has avoided crossing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Epstein Estate And Their Claims Of A Liquidity Problem

The Epstein Estate And Their Claims Of A Liquidity Problem

The Epstein estate claimed it was facing a liquidity problem when the victims’ compensation fund requested additional payouts, arguing that although the estate’s total value appeared substantial, most of the assets were tied up in hard-to-sell property, aircraft, and other non-liquid holdings. They stated that they did not have enough immediately accessible cash to fulfill compensation requests and could not provide a clear timeline for resolving the issue, which resulted in a temporary pause on new settlement offers.Victims’ attorneys and officials sharply criticized the move, suggesting the liquidity explanation functioned more as a stalling tactic than a genuine financial obstacle. They pointed out that the estate continued covering operational and legal expenses during the payout freeze, raising suspicion about priorities and transparency. The announcement also came amid steep reported declines in the estate’s overall valuation, prompting questions about where the money had gone and whether resources were being shielded rather than distributed to survivors.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean Luc Brunel And Thee Time Spent Together On Jeffrey Epstein's Island

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean Luc Brunel And Thee Time Spent Together On Jeffrey Epstein's Island

Photos showing Jean-Luc Brunel and Ghislaine Maxwell together on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, function as damning visual evidence of their direct presence inside the epicenter of Epstein’s operation. These images don’t show distant acquaintances or innocent vacationers — they show two of Epstein’s closest and most active enablers relaxing comfortably in the middle of the Caribbean paradise that survivors have described as a hub of industrial-scale sexual exploitation. Maxwell appears seated poolside, casual and at ease, while Brunel stands nearby, smiling, moving freely around the property as if he belonged there. These are not images of people merely passing through; they depict the inner circle, enjoying the spoils of a predator’s empire, positioned exactly where countless victims say the abuse occurred.Taken together, the photos strip away decades of denial and PR spin designed to portray Epstein’s network as a loose association of wealthy socialites. Maxwell — the convicted trafficker — and Brunel — the modeling agent long tied to supplying girls through his agency connections — stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the very ground where survivors say horrors unfolded behind closed doors. Their presence on Little Saint James confirms what so many already understood: Epstein’s island was not a rumor or a conspiracy theory, but a fully operational center of power, protected by money, influence, and silence. The images lock Maxwell and Brunel permanently into the geography of Epstein’s crimes, proving that their roles were not distant or theoretical — they were right there, in the sun, enjoying the view.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's Core 4:  The Adriana Ross Deposition  (Part 3) (11/21/25)

Jeffrey Epstein's Core 4: The Adriana Ross Deposition (Part 3) (11/21/25)

In her deposition on March 15, 2010, Ross was questioned extensively about her relationship with Epstein and individuals in his orbit, including the role of recruiting young women for massages and possible sexual contact. She was asked whether she ever used the term “massage” as a euphemism, whether she personally arranged for young women (including minors) to meet Epstein, and whether she benefited financially or materially from such arrangements. Ross repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when asked substantive questions about her own conduct in connection with Epstein’s sexual-abuse network, declining to answer many questions about the details of her involvement.Ross was also asked about her knowledge of Epstein’s associates and activities, including whether she was aware of certain flights, properties, and contacts used by Epstein’s organization for transporting, lodging or grooming associates. The deposition records show that many of these questions were met with silence or non-responses, as Ross declined to answer on advice of counsel or invoked the Fifth. The lack of direct testimony from Ross thus left significant gaps in the civil case’s ability to pin down the full details of her role.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

What The Epstein Emails Tell Us About The  Legacy Media (11/21/25)

What The Epstein Emails Tell Us About The Legacy Media (11/21/25)

Recent revelations have intensified scrutiny of major news organizations and their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, particularly following the release of emails showing New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. communicating with Epstein in a manner critics say appeared closer to strategic guidance than objective journalism. The correspondence has revived longstanding accusations that influential media outlets—including ABC, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and the New York Times—minimized or suppressed reporting that could have brought Epstein’s activities to light sooner. Multiple newsrooms previously dismissed concerns as fringe speculation or “conspiracy theory,” creating an environment in which survivors struggled to be heard and credible leads were not pursued. Critics argue that these decisions, driven by the desire to preserve relationships with powerful figures in Epstein’s network, contributed to years of continued abuse.Today, media organizations have adopted a markedly different tone, positioning themselves as champions of transparency and accountability, but skepticism remains high among the public and advocates for survivors. Many contend that the press’s recent coverage is less a moral awakening than a defensive reaction to overwhelming evidence that can no longer be ignored. Trust in legacy media has eroded as news consumers question how such systemic failures were allowed to persist unchallenged and why no meaningful internal reckoning has occurred. The episode has reignited calls for accountability, not only for Epstein’s associates but also for the institutions that played a role in shielding them from scrutiny. For survivors and those demanding full disclosure, the issue is no longer whether the truth will emerge—but whether the media will finally confront its own role in delaying it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

You Didn't Actually Think  Disgraced Prince Andrew Would Speak With Congress Did You? (11/21/25)

You Didn't Actually Think Disgraced Prince Andrew Would Speak With Congress Did You? (11/21/25)

Prince Andrew’s continued evasion of accountability has transformed him into a central figure in the fallout surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire. Born into one of the most privileged positions on earth, he repeatedly placed himself in Epstein’s inner circle even after Epstein’s conviction, including reportedly staying at his home in New York after the scandal was public. A widely criticized BBC interview intended to clear his name instead became a defining moment of public collapse, in which Andrew offered implausible explanations involving a Pizza Express alibi and a medical claim that he could not sweat—responses that significantly damaged his credibility. The now-iconic photograph of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre and Epstein’s documented pattern of exploiting underage girls further intensified scrutiny, raising serious questions about the prince’s judgment, integrity, and transparency.Andrew has repeatedly declined opportunities to speak with U.S. authorities and has now let multiple congressional deadlines pass without cooperation, retreating into royal seclusion as public pressure mounts. The royal family has since removed many of his public roles and military honors in an effort to contain the damage, but the strategy has only highlighted the seriousness of the allegations and the depth of Andrew’s involvement with Epstein. His silence has become its own indictment, signaling fear rather than innocence, and reinforcing the perception that accountability is being avoided rather than confronted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Donald Trump Signs  The Epstein Transparency Bill  Into Law  (Part 2) (11/21/25)

Donald Trump Signs The Epstein Transparency Bill Into Law (Part 2) (11/21/25)

President Donald Trump abruptly reversed his longstanding opposition to public disclosure of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s network, telling House Republicans to back a measure requiring the Department of Justice to release Epstein-related files. He previously labelled the disclosure effort a “hoax” and actively resisted it, but as bipartisan and intraparty pressure mounted—including from conservative lawmakers—the tide shifted and he pledged to sign the bill if passed.The legislation mandates the DOJ to publish all unclassified records tied to Epstein’s investigations within 30 days, with limited allowances for redactions only to protect victims or continuing probes; it explicitly bars withholding records on the basis of embarrassment or political sensitivity. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and renewed demands for accountability, even as questions linger about Trump’s motivations for this pivot and whether it signals a genuine commitment to transparency or a tactical retreat under mounting pressure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Trump reversed course on the Epstein files as his administration faces lingering suspicion about their release | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
