Leon Black's Accuser Says He Sent Private Investigators To The Homes Of Friends And Family

Reid Hoffman’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is tenuous, controversial, and wrapped in layers of public explanation and regret. Hoffman has admitted that he invited Epstein to a 2015 dinner in Palo Alto (with luminaries like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg) as part of fundraising efforts for the MIT Media Lab—on the basis that MIT leadership had “vetted” Epstein. He later issued a public apology, saying that while he believed the invitation was appropriate at the time, it was a serious error in judgment to associate with Epstein post-conviction.But deeper reporting has further complicated Hoffman’s narrative. Documents indicate that Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in 2014 (after Epstein’s 2008 conviction), apparently connected with MIT-related fundraising. Other records show plans for Hoffman to stay in Epstein’s New York townhouse and attend social engagements with him and other tech elites. Hoffman’s defenders say his ties were limited to philanthropy and fundraising, but critics argue that even those interactions — especially occurring after Epstein’s well-known legal disgrace — raise troubling questions about judgment, complicity, and the degree to which Epstein was able to rehab his social capital among elite tech circles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanned decades and has been a source of sustained scandal. Black, cofounder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein at least $158 million (and recent investigations suggest as much as $170 million) between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and art-collection services. Black has acknowledged that working with Epstein was a “horrible mistake” and said he deeply regrets their association. Nonetheless, his payments and closeness to Epstein have invited intense scrutiny about what Black knew — or should have known — about Epstein’s criminal network. Meanwhile, congressional and regulatory probes have sought to uncover the full extent of their financial entanglements and whether Black’s use of Epstein’s services was beyond mere professional consults.In addition to the financial scandal, Black’s ties to Epstein have been tangled with serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple lawsuits accuse Black of rape, including claims that in 2002, when introduced by Epstein, he assaulted a 16-year-old autistic girl in Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. One prominent lawsuit filed by Cheri Pierson accused Black of attacking her in Epstein’s home; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Black has denied all criminal wrongdoing, asserting consensual relationships and rejecting claims against him as false. These overlapping allegations and financial links with Epstein have undermined Black’s reputation, led to his resignation as MoMA board chair and Apollo executive, and triggered ongoing legal and reputational battles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmaill.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Dubin family’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein runs deep and has been clouded by controversy for decades. Glenn Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund manager, and his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, a former Miss Sweden and physician, were both longtime friends of Epstein. Eva dated Epstein for years before marrying Glenn in 1994, yet even after their marriage, the Dubins maintained close ties with him—hosting dinners, traveling on his jet, and continuing to socialize with him long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Epstein was also known to have been close with their children, reportedly describing the Dubin family as like “family” to him.However, those ties later drew intense scrutiny. Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre alleged that she was trafficked to Glenn Dubin when she was a teenager, an accusation Dubin has vehemently denied. Additional reporting revealed that Epstein had allegedly referred massage therapists to both Glenn and Eva Dubin, a detail found in Epstein’s own business records. The Dubins insist they had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities and considered him merely a friend, but the sustained closeness between them—particularly after his sex offense conviction—has raised ongoing questions about their judgment, credibility, and what exactly they knew about the man at the center of one of the most notorious sex-trafficking networks in modern history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The television series The Crown has been widely criticized for effectively ignoring or downplaying Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, despite the centrality of that scandal to his public legacy. Although the final seasons of the show cover the period when allegations involving Epstein and Virginia Giuffre emerged, the creators elected not to dramatize Andrew’s relationship with Epstein or the ensuing lawsuits. As Newsweek noted, the show’s writer Peter Morgan explicitly stated that “Haven’t gone anywhere near him” when asked about depicting Andrew’s ties to Epstein.Instead, the show skirts around the issue by making oblique references or metaphorical allusions (e.g. a scene where Andrew discusses a movie about a 17-year-old seduced by older predators) but never directly engages with the core claims, legal actions, or public uproar. Critics argue this amounts to a deliberate omission, shielding the royal narrative from one of the most consequential scandals of the era.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense team prepared to cross-examine Juan Alessi—Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime house manager—after his compelling testimony linking Maxwell to the logistics of Epstein’s operations. Alessi testified that he drove the accuser known as “Jane” to Epstein’s Palm Beach home, often on instructions from both Epstein and Maxwell. He described Maxwell as “lady of the house,” claimed staff were constrained by a strict household manual that forbade disclosing activities, and recalled discovering sex toys and pornography in intimate settings.During cross-examination, defense attorney Jeffrey Pagliuca questioned Alessi about inconsistencies between his trial testimony and prior statements in depositions or civil cases—particularly about when he first met “Jane.” He also probed whether Alessi had disclosed instructions to remove photos of Maxwell before female guests arrived, pushing him to explain apparent discrepancies.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein had a long history working for and with the government, even if they do not want to acknowledge it. One example of this is when he turned snitch on his former company and helped the feds put some of his colleagues away. Somehow, just like every other time he had a brush with the law, he ended up landing on his feet. The reason? He was being protected by certain elements in the government.Let's dive in and discuss it!To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2018/11/28/pedophile-millionaire-dodged-harsh-sentence-by-ratting-out-bear-stearns-execs/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In October 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Maxwell’s appeal aimed at overturning her 2021 conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse minors. The appeal argued that Maxwell should have been protected from prosecution under a 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) that had been made with Epstein — Maxwell’s legal team claimed that the government’s promise in that deal extended to co-conspirators like her, across jurisdictions. But lower courts (including the Second Circuit) rejected that argument, and the DOJ urged the high court not to take the case, saying the NPA did not cover Maxwell’s prosecution in New York. The Supreme Court’s denial (without explanation) means the conviction stands and Maxwell’s 20-year sentence remains intact.Maxwell’s plea of “but the deal should protect me” now lies in ashes. The refusal by the Supreme Court sends a message: the serious, prolonged, documented role she played in trafficking and grooming minors for Epstein can't be overwritten by legal technicalities or bargains made behind closed doors. Her efforts to invoke immunity through someone else's deal were flatly dismissed, underscoring that privilege and high-social standing won’t shield her from full accountability for her actions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
