The Company Man: Alex Acosta and the Art of The Deflection (10/19/25)

The Company Man: Alex Acosta and the Art of The Deflection (10/19/25)

In his recent testimony before Congress, former Labor Secretary and ex–U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta doubled down on his long-criticized defense of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to dodge federal sex-trafficking charges and serve barely a year in a cushy county jail. Acosta told the House Oversight Committee that at the time, he believed a federal trial would have been a “crapshoot” because of what he called limited cooperation from victims and thin evidence — a claim that directly contradicts later Justice Department findings showing that dozens of victims were ready to testify. He also denied having any knowledge that Epstein would be granted work-release, despite extensive records showing the arrangement was approved during his watch. His tone was clinical and detached, as if the systemic betrayal of dozens of trafficked minors was just another bureaucratic footnote.


Lawmakers on both sides were incensed, with Democrats accusing Acosta of rewriting history and showing “zero remorse” for enabling one of the most notorious predators in modern American history. Even some Republicans privately admitted that his testimony came off as evasive and self-serving. Acosta tried to shift blame to subordinates and state prosecutors, but his own department’s inspector general previously concluded that he exercised “poor judgment” and gave Epstein a sweetheart deal that “violated the spirit of the law.” For the victims who have spent years fighting for justice, Acosta’s congressional appearance only confirmed what they already knew — that the powerful protect their own, even when it means selling out the powerless.

Spencer Kuvin Calls  On Bill Gates To Speak With Authorities About Jeffrey Epstein

Spencer Kuvin Calls On Bill Gates To Speak With Authorities About Jeffrey Epstein

Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing multiple survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, publicly criticized Bill Gates for continuing to meet with Epstein even after the financier’s conviction. Speaking to The Sun, Kuvin questioned Gates’s moral judgment, asking, “Why are you taking business meetings with a person like that?” He emphasized that, given Gates’s vast resources and investigative capacity, it is “incredibly hard to believe that he would not have known the full extent of the allegations” against Epstein, whose conviction involved sex crimes against minorsBeyond moral criticism, Kuvin urged Gates to cooperate with law enforcement investigating Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close associate. He pointed out the ongoing nature of those investigations and suggested that Gates—by stepping forward—“should remind Gates and the world that… if Mr. Gates has information that could assist in that investigation, I would say he should step forward”To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14946349/bill-gates-evidence-ghislaine-maxwell-investigators-jeffrey-epstein/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Judge Rakoff Approves The JP Morgan Settlement With The Epstein  Survivors

Judge Rakoff Approves The JP Morgan Settlement With The Epstein Survivors

In November 2023, U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff granted final approval to a $290 million settlement in Jane Doe 1 et al. v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., resolving claims that the bank had maintained a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein despite awareness of his sex‑trafficking activities. Describing the deal as “a really excellent settlement” in a case of such complexity, Judge Rakoff emphasized its broader significance—sending a clear signal to financial institutions about their duty to avoid facilitating illegal conductRakoff also rejected a late objection filed by attorneys general from multiple states, who argued that certain settlement terms might impair governments from bringing future claims. He determined the language was not overly restrictive and did not block legitimate enforcement actions. Alongside settlement approval, he authorized attorney fees at 30% of the recovery, recognizing the scale of work required to secure the agreement. Survivors’ counsel characterized the outcome as a landmark result, while Rakoff emphasized the broader accountability message to Wall Street.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan's $290 million settlement with Epstein accusers approved by US judge | ReutersSen.

Jeffrey Epstein Survivors Ask Judge Rakoff To Release The JP Morgan Settlement Funds

Jeffrey Epstein Survivors Ask Judge Rakoff To Release The JP Morgan Settlement Funds

Epstein survivors—led in the legal action by a figure known as Jane Doe 1—petitioned Judge Jed S. Rakoff to grant preliminary approval to a proposed $290 million settlement with JPMorgan Chase. They argued that the bank had turned a blind eye to Epstein’s sex-trafficking activities, even after his 2008 conviction as a registered sex offender, and continued to provide financial services that enabled his operations. The survivors and their counsel described the settlement as "fair, adequate, and reasonable,” given the risks and uncertainties inherent in prolonged litigation and JPMorgan’s continuing denial of direct liabilityIn the hearing, Judge Rakoff expressed that, while the settlement was substantial, it would not undo the survivors’ suffering. He sought clarification from the plaintiffs’ attorneys—particularly David Boies—on why there was no guaranteed minimum distribution per victim, as had been the case in parallel litigation against Deutsche Bank. Ultimately, he appointed settlement administrator Simone Lelchuk to review and allocate funds based on individual claims and oversee the disbursement process under his supervisionto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein victims ask judge to approve $290 million settlement with JPMorgan (nbcnews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Tapes:  Transcripts From Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview (Part 23) (9/1/25)

The Ghislaine Maxwell Tapes: Transcripts From Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview (Part 23) (9/1/25)

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

From Newsnight to 2015: How Prince Andrew Misled the World About Jeffrey Epstein (9/1/25)

From Newsnight to 2015: How Prince Andrew Misled the World About Jeffrey Epstein (9/1/25)

Newly uncovered leaked emails show that Prince Andrew remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein until at least 2015—five years longer than the Duke claimed in his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview. At the time, Andrew insisted he cut ties after meeting Epstein in December 2010, following Epstein’s sex crime conviction. But the emails, originating from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s hacked inbox, include messages where Epstein passed along information attributed directly to “Andrew,” with Epstein confirming the source. These discussions involved potential business ventures, including a private security project in China.The revelations directly contradict Andrew’s carefully crafted public narrative and expose him as a man who misled the public, the monarchy, and investigators about the true extent of his ties to Epstein. By insisting he severed contact in 2010 while secretly maintaining communications for years, Andrew not only damaged his own credibility but also dragged the Royal Family deeper into scandal. His willingness to keep dealing with a convicted sex offender behind the scenes reveals a level of arrogance and dishonesty that makes his 2019 Newsnight denials look like a calculated performance. Far from being a victim of bad judgment, Andrew now appears complicit in sustaining a relationship he knew was toxic, raising the question of what else he has concealed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew 'remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein five years longer than he claimed in Newsnight interview', emails suggest | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Morning Update:  Jeffrey Epstein, The Treasury Department And The Red Flags That Were  Ignored (9/1/25)

Morning Update: Jeffrey Epstein, The Treasury Department And The Red Flags That Were Ignored (9/1/25)

Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, are confidential filings that financial institutions are legally required to send to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever they detect transactions that may indicate money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, or other criminal activity. They’re not evidence of a crime by themselves, but rather red flags—signals that something looks off. Banks, casinos, brokerages, and even crypto platforms file them routinely, and once submitted, they’re closely guarded, unavailable to the public, and protected by strict “no tipping off” rules. Law enforcement uses SARs to trace illicit networks, connect patterns across different institutions, and build out investigations into everything from drug cartels and terrorist cells to human trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes.Now those same reports sit at the center of a political firestorm. House Oversight Chair James Comer has formally requested that the Treasury Department turn over all SARs connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His demand signals an attempt to pull back the veil on what banks flagged about Epstein’s vast financial web—wires, transfers, shell accounts, and potential facilitators. If granted, the request could provide Congress with a rare inside look at the money trails behind Epstein’s operations, though it also raises thorny questions about confidentiality, precedent, and how much of this intelligence should be made public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Comer requests Epstein, Maxwell records from Treasury Secretary | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
