Mega Edition:  Les Wexner And His Reign At The Top (10/12/25)

Mega Edition: Les Wexner And His Reign At The Top (10/12/25)

Les Wexner earned the nickname “King of Columbus” because of the immense economic, cultural, and political footprint he left on the city of Columbus, Ohio. As the founder of The Limited in 1963, which later became L Brands, Wexner transformed a single women’s clothing store into a retail juggernaut that included brands like Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Express. His success generated enormous wealth, much of which he funneled back into his hometown through philanthropy, real estate development, and civic influence. Wexner’s donations helped shape major institutions, including Ohio State University and the Columbus Foundation, while entire areas of Columbus’ expansion were tied to his investments and leadership. This combination of business dominance and local control made him, for decades, the city’s unofficial monarch — the “King of Columbus.”


In recent years, however, Les Wexner has steadily reduced his financial footprint in L Brands, the company that built his empire. By mid-2021, he had sold off a massive portion of his holdings — unloading approximately $2.7 billion worth of stock — leaving him with only about a 2 percent stake in the company he once commanded. The sales came amid L Brands’ restructuring and the eventual separation of Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works into standalone companies. With those divestments, Wexner’s era as a retail titan effectively closed, signaling a retreat from the empire he had ruled for nearly six decades.

Mega Edition:   Leon Black Looks To Expose The Identity Of His Accuser (8/8/25)

Mega Edition: Leon Black Looks To Expose The Identity Of His Accuser (8/8/25)

In response to the civil lawsuit filed against him under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, Leon Black sought to unmask the identity of his accuser, known in court filings as Jane Doe. Black’s legal team argued that anonymity undermined his ability to defend himself and conduct a fair investigation into the allegations. They filed motions urging the court to compel the woman to publicly reveal her name, claiming that her accusations were damaging his reputation and that shielding her identity placed him at an unfair legal disadvantage. This move was widely criticized by victim advocates, who saw it as a tactic meant to intimidate and discourage other survivors from coming forward, especially in cases involving powerful, well-connected defendants.Jane Doe’s legal team pushed back forcefully, emphasizing that her anonymity was legally protected under the Adult Survivors Act and critical to her safety and well-being. They argued that forcing her to go public would expose her to harassment, retraumatization, and potential danger. The court initially ruled in her favor, allowing her to proceed under a pseudonym. The broader implications of Black’s attempt to identify his accuser reflect a familiar dynamic in high-profile sexual assault cases—where wealthy defendants use aggressive legal maneuvers to shift the focus away from the allegations and onto the accuser. In the context of Epstein’s network, this tactic is seen as part of a pattern of silencing, discrediting, and outlasting survivors through sheer financial and institutional power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.602764.144.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Mega Edition:  Jane Doe And Her Jeffrey Epstein Related Lawsuit Against Leon Black (8/7/25)

The Mega Edition: Jane Doe And Her Jeffrey Epstein Related Lawsuit Against Leon Black (8/7/25)

The lawsuit filed by Jane Doe against billionaire Leon Black alleges that he raped her at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse when she was a vulnerable young woman in her early twenties. Filed in 2023 under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, the civil suit claims Black used Epstein’s residence—a known hub of abuse—as the setting for the assault, and that Epstein facilitated the encounter. Jane Doe alleges that she was trafficked and groomed within Epstein’s network and that Black’s actions were part of the larger pattern of abuse and exploitation that Epstein orchestrated for his powerful associates. The lawsuit accuses Black not only of rape, but also of intentional infliction of emotional distress and other civil claims tied to Epstein’s broader trafficking enterprise.Black has denied the allegations and filed a countersuit against the accuser and her attorneys, claiming extortion and reputational harm. However, the civil complaint against him highlights a critical and recurring theme in the Epstein saga: the deep connections between Epstein and prominent men who allegedly used his network for their own gratification under the guise of friendship or philanthropy. The suit adds to the growing scrutiny of Black’s long-standing ties to Epstein, including previous revelations that he paid Epstein over $150 million for undisclosed “financial advice” long after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Jane Doe’s case underscores how Epstein’s reach extended well beyond his own crimes, into the lives—and alleged actions—of the elite men he surrounded himself with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.602764.152.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Snitched On Her Cellmate In Tallahassee

Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Snitched On Her Cellmate In Tallahassee

While serving time at FCI Tallahassee, Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly sparked yet another round of tension behind bars after allegedly snitching on a transgender cellmate over loud late-night sexual activity. According to insider accounts, Maxwell filed a formal complaint with prison staff, which ultimately led to her heavily tattooed bunkmate being moved to another cell. The incident, now circulating in tabloid reports, has fueled Maxwell’s reputation among inmates as a “prison Karen”—someone quick to report others to authorities while trying to curry favor with guards. Given her already volatile standing among fellow prisoners due to her high-profile conviction and suspected cooperation with federal investigators, the episode only deepened the animosity around her.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonnail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell 'snitched on transgender cellmate for having loud sex' behind bars | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Gone Too Soon: Honoring Virginia Roberts

Gone Too Soon: Honoring Virginia Roberts

The world has been shaken by the devastating news that Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a courageous survivor who became a symbol of truth and resilience, has died. Virginia’s life was defined by extraordinary bravery—first surviving the unimaginable horrors of trafficking at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful network, and later daring to speak out when so many tried to silence her. Through years of public scrutiny, court battles, and personal pain, she carried herself with a grace and strength that inspired countless survivors around the world. Her voice helped expose some of the darkest abuses hidden behind the walls of wealth and influence, and her loss is a deeply painful blow to those who loved, admired, and fought alongside her.Virginia's death leaves behind a void that cannot be filled. She was more than a witness to unspeakable evil—she was a fighter who challenged a system built to protect it. Her legacy will endure in every survivor who finds the strength to speak, and in every person who refuses to look away from injustice because she taught us how. Today, we mourn not just the passing of a remarkable woman, but the stolen years of peace and healing she so profoundly deserved. May her memory be a blessing, and may her fight for truth and dignity never be forgotten. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The last days of Virginia Giuffre as Prince Andrew's accuser feared enemies 'were out to get her' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Gates Finally Gets Dragged By The Legacy Media Over His Relationship With Epstein

Bill Gates Finally Gets Dragged By The Legacy Media Over His Relationship With Epstein

After years of media tiptoeing and carefully sanitized narratives, Bill Gates is finally facing serious public backlash over his longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. For a long time, Gates was largely shielded by his philanthropic image and tech titan status, with mainstream coverage downplaying the extent of his ties to Epstein. But as court documents, flight records, and internal emails began to surface, that protective bubble started to crack. Gates met with Epstein numerous times after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, including private meetings at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and reportedly discussing matters as sensitive as the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite his repeated claims that the relationship was purely about philanthropy, it’s become increasingly clear that Gates engaged far more deeply with Epstein than he initially admitted—something even his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, cited as a major factor in their divorce.Now, the scrutiny Gates once managed to sidestep has caught up with him, and the tone of coverage has shifted dramatically. No longer is he simply the awkward genius turned do-gooder; he’s a billionaire who maintained contact with a convicted sex offender long after most people ran the other way. Critics are questioning why Gates, a man with virtually unlimited resources and access, would have any reason to associate with Epstein—let alone repeatedly. The once-taboo questions are finally being asked: What did Gates know? What was he told? And why did he stay in contact for so long? As the public demands accountability from every angle of Epstein’s network, Gates is no longer exempt. His name is now rightfully being dragged through the same mud he helped tread around for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates believed Jeffrey Epstein could deliver the Nobel Prize he craved.

The individual developed a notably close relationship with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, to the extent of being invited to the prince's birthday celebration in 2020. Evidence obtained from his mobile phone during a 2021 entry attempt into the UK included a letter from a senior adviser to Prince Andrew, authorizing him to act on the prince's behalf in dealings with potential Chinese partners and investors.Just another day in the life of the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family.  (commercial at 9:34)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew Sought Money From Alleged Chinese SpyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

From Mockery to Mimicry: The Media’s Jeffrey Epstein U-Turn (Part 2) (8/7/25)

From Mockery to Mimicry: The Media’s Jeffrey Epstein U-Turn (Part 2) (8/7/25)

For over two decades, the legacy media failed catastrophically in its responsibility to expose Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire. Rather than investigate, they actively suppressed the story, ignored survivors, buried leads, and protected the powerful individuals within Epstein’s orbit. Outlets like ABC, NBC, and The New York Times had ample evidence but chose access over accountability, prestige over principle. When whistleblowers and independent journalists tried to sound the alarm, they were smeared as conspiracy theorists. The media wasn’t just absent—they were complicit, operating as PR agents for the very elites they were supposed to scrutinize. Even after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, the media presented the scandal as if it were new, rewriting history to conceal their cowardice and protect their image.Now, years later, those same outlets have shamelessly returned to the story, parroting talking points and revelations that the so-called “conspiracy crowd” had documented long ago. They grandstand as if they were in the trenches, all while ignoring their own role in shielding the system that allowed Epstein to thrive. Their sudden concern is not about justice—it’s about optics, narrative control, and political expediency. The Epstein scandal is not just about one man—it’s about the elite networks that enabled him and the media institutions that kept those networks safe. Until the press admits its role in the cover-up and holds everyone accountable—not just those who are no longer useful—its credibility remains broken. They were never the watchdogs. They were the gatekeepers. And their gates are stained with blood.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
