The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 7 Part 2 Chapter 8 Part 1) (10/22/25)
Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: An Inside Look At The BBC Interview And Prince Andrew's Buyers Remorse (10/23/25)
Sam McAlister — former BBC Newsnight producer and author of Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews — has given extensive behind-the-scenes commentary on how the infamous interview with Prince Andrew, Duke of York came to be. She recounts how her original approach was for a routine charity-profile, but as the scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein intensified, she persuaded the palace to agree to a sit-down that would include “the news issues that were pertinent” — including Epstein. She says she was shocked at how open and responsive Andrew seemed during the negotiations, which gave her confidence the interview would proceed.McAlister also states that, in the direct lead-up to the interview’s broadcast, Andrew believed he had succeeded — he reportedly gave the BBC interviewing team a tour of Buckingham Palace, smiled and seemed upbeat, giving the impression he expected the exposure to vindicate him. She observes that his tone shifted dramatically as the fallout emerged, noting: “He was in fine spirits!” after filming, even as the answers rolled out in the final cut that would crash his reputation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Prince Andrew Was Initially Pleased With His BBC Interview Performance (10/23/25)
After his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview aired on November 16, 2019, Prince Andrew initially tried to defend both his performance and his decision to do it. He reportedly believed the interview had gone “very well” and that it would clear the air about his association with Jeffrey Epstein. His public statement that followed expressed “sympathy for all those affected by Epstein’s behavior” but maintained his innocence, repeating that he had “no recollection” of ever meeting Virginia Roberts Giuffre. At the time, Andrew and his team framed the interview as a gesture of transparency—an attempt to reclaim his reputation by addressing the controversy head-on rather than hiding from it.That optimism, however, evaporated within hours. The public and media reaction was ferocious, describing his tone as arrogant, emotionless, and shockingly out of touch. Buckingham Palace was thrown into crisis mode as royal aides and senior family members reportedly reacted with disbelief. Within days, Andrew’s “initial response” to stand firm turned into a forced retreat—he announced he was stepping back from royal duties “for the foreseeable future.” His claim that he would cooperate with U.S. authorities also fell apart, with federal prosecutors later revealing that he had provided “zero cooperation.” The interview he once thought would vindicate him became the single most damaging moment of his life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Prince Andrew And His BBC Interview Get The Big Screen Treatment (10/22/25)
In 2024, Netflix announced Scoop, a dramatization of Prince Andrew’s disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis, which infamously backfired and forced him to withdraw from royal duties. The film, directed by Philip Martin and based on BBC producer Sam McAlister’s memoir Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews, explores how the interview was negotiated and produced behind the scenes. Gillian Anderson stars as Emily Maitlis, while Rufus Sewell portrays Prince Andrew. The movie aims to capture the tension, arrogance, and fallout surrounding the televised disaster that became a defining moment in the Epstein scandal’s royal chapter.Released globally on April 5, 2024, Scoop revisits the royal crisis in cinematic form—offering both dramatization and commentary on the media circus that followed Andrew’s disastrous attempt to clear his name. Critics have described it as a sharp, tightly paced political drama that exposes the hubris and disconnect inside the Palace during one of the monarchy’s most humiliating modern scandals. The film has reignited public discussion about Andrew’s ties to Epstein and the royal family’s response to his disgrace, ensuring the fallout of that single interview continues to haunt Buckingham Palace years later.Before his infamous BBC Newsnight interview in November 2019, Prince Andrew, Duke of York was explicitly warned by senior advisers that the session could irreparably damage both his personal reputation and the standing of the Royal Household. The warning emphasised that his links to Jeffrey Epstein—especially given the allegations of sexual misconduct and trafficking—or appearing indifferent to the experience of alleged victims, would likely trigger major public backlash and lead to institutional fallout.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Deutsche Bank Begs The Judge To Dismiss The Epstein Related Civil Suit Against Them
Deutsche Bank requested that a U.S. federal court dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by an accuser of Epstein, arguing that the bank neither participated in nor benefited from Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and therefore is not legally responsible in the way the complaint alleges. The bank asserted that it merely provided “routine banking services” to Epstein from 2013 to 2018, and that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts under the federal anti-trafficking statute (Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act) or establish any direct duty by the bank to protect the victim.In addition, Deutsche Bank argued that the plaintiff’s claims under New York’s Adult Survivors Act (which temporarily allowed claims even after statute-of-limitations expiration) were legally deficient because the bank did not cause the abuse or engage in the trafficking itself. The bank contended that even acknowledging Epstein’s misconduct, the claims improperly targeted the “wrong party.” While the court later dismissed several of the claims brought against Deutsche Bank, it allowed several others to proceed, meaning the motion to dismiss was only partly successful.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What Did Jeffrey Epstein Tell His Lawyers About Nicholas Tartaglione?
Epstein told his attorneys that the July 23 incident — when he was found semi-unconscious in his cell with injuries around his neck — was not a suicide attempt, but rather the result of a cell-mate assault. He asserted that Tartaglione “roughed him up” and had put something around his neck (a rope, a bedsheet or the like) in what Epstein described as a “prank or experiment” that left him shaken and bruised.In his account, Epstein said he “didn’t feel he was in a position to refuse” the act by his cell-mate, indicating either coercion or fear of retaliation. He told his lawyers the injury prompted his placement on suicide watch, but that his claim of being assaulted by Tartaglione was never properly pursued by the jail authorities.to contact me:bobbycapuci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

5 Immediate Takeaways From The Cell Where Epstein Met His Demise
Jeffrey Epstein’s death inside his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell revealed a staggering breakdown of basic federal detention protocols. Despite being a high-profile inmate previously placed on suicide watch, Epstein was left alone after his cellmate was inexplicably transferred the night before his death, and guards neglected to conduct mandatory 30-minute checks. Surveillance cameras outside his cell malfunctioned, leaving critical moments unrecorded, and the scene itself appeared disordered—mattresses stacked, linens scattered, and personal items misplaced—raising questions about contamination of evidence. Investigators later admitted that the cell had not been properly preserved as a potential crime scene, an extraordinary failure given Epstein’s notoriety and the global attention surrounding his incarceration.Further deepening suspicion were the materials found inside the cell, including bed sheets and cords that should have been restricted for any inmate with a prior suicide incident. Epstein’s neck injuries also became a source of contention: the official medical examiner declared suicide by hanging, but independent pathologists claimed the wounds were more consistent with strangulation. Combined with camera gaps, staff negligence, and the Bureau of Prisons’ evasive explanations, the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s cell at the time of his death have come to symbolize one of the most glaring institutional failures in modern U.S. corrections—fueling widespread belief that the full truth has yet to be told.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
