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.

The FBI Had Troves Of Evidence Against Jeffrey Epstein And Chose Not to Act
Despite holding what was described as mountains of evidence against Jeffrey Epstein—including hard drives, photographs, flight manifests, travel logs, and witness statements—the FBI’s response was lethargic and opaque. Investigators reportedly had detailed accounts from victims dating back to the mid-1990s, describing Epstein’s trafficking network and naming powerful men connected to his operations. When Epstein’s properties were raided in 2019, agents found thousands of explicit photos of underage girls, numerous disks labeled with names, and a trove of financial records, yet many of these items were never fully disclosed or used to pursue others in his orbit. Victims have long argued that the FBI’s inaction allowed Epstein to continue exploiting girls for years while his political and financial allies remained untouched.The Bureau and the DOJ maintain they conducted extensive reviews and found no “prosecutable” cases beyond those already charged, denying the existence of a so-called client list or broader conspiracy. But this explanation has done little to quiet outrage. The sheer volume of evidence juxtaposed with the lack of arrests beyond Ghislaine Maxwell has led to widespread suspicion that the FBI deliberately avoided pursuing leads that might implicate politically powerful figures. The case has since become a symbol of institutional betrayal—proof, in the eyes of many Americans, that justice in this country operates on two tiers: one for the elite, and one for everyone else.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.

Alex Acosta Goes To Congress: Transcripts From The Alex Acosta Deposition (Part 1) (10/22/25)
When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nobody's Girl: Jeffrey Epstein And The Plan For "Immortality" (10/22/25)
In her memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Roberts Giuffre describes how Jeffrey Epstein often spoke about preserving his body through cryogenic freezing after death. She recalls him saying his remains would be stored in a cryogenic chamber until science advanced enough to bring him back to life. Giuffre presents this as more than just a bizarre fixation—it reflected Epstein’s obsession with control, power, and his delusional belief that his wealth could make him immortal. She wrote that Epstein seemed convinced he could escape mortality itself, treating the concept as another form of domination over nature and other people.Giuffre further used this story to expose Epstein’s narcissistic worldview, portraying him as a man who genuinely believed himself to be above consequence or morality. She explained that his talk of cryogenic preservation wasn’t idle fantasy—it fit into a broader ideology of transhumanism that he pushed onto his inner circle. Epstein saw himself as a self-made god, someone destined to transcend ordinary human limits through science and money. Giuffre included the anecdote as evidence of how his psychopathy extended beyond his crimes against women, showing the megalomania that drove his entire life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Planned to Cryogenically Freeze Body After Death: Book - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
