The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Chapter 12 ) (10/31/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement (NPA) in 2008 was nothing short of a golden ticket to freedom—a secret, backroom deal that shredded every notion of justice. Brokered by then–U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, the agreement effectively shut down a federal investigation that had uncovered dozens of victims, some as young as fourteen. Instead of facing life in prison for trafficking minors, Epstein received an absurdly lenient sentence: eighteen months in a county jail, with work-release privileges that let him leave six days a week. The NPA not only shielded Epstein but also granted immunity to his unnamed “co-conspirators,” protecting a network of powerful individuals who may have helped facilitate or benefited from his crimes. It was a blatant perversion of justice, a deal that only someone with deep connections and untold influence could have secured.What made the NPA so egregious wasn’t just its leniency—it was the secrecy surrounding it. Victims were kept completely in the dark, violating their rights under federal law, while prosecutors quietly closed the case and moved on. Epstein’s lawyers, including some of the most connected figures in America, strong-armed the government into compliance, using political pressure and backroom influence to bury the truth. The result was a grotesque miscarriage of justice that allowed Epstein to continue his predatory behavior for another decade. The NPA became a symbol of the two-tiered legal system—one for the powerful and one for everyone else—and a damning reminder that when corruption and cowardice meet, monsters walk free.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The newly released congressional emails between Jeffrey Epstein and his circle put both Epstein and Donald Trump in a deeply compromising light. In one 2011 message, Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump had “spent hours” with a trafficked girl at his home — a statement that, if true, torpedoes Trump’s long-maintained claim that his ties to Epstein were minimal. Even worse, Epstein’s casual tone about the incident suggests he saw Trump as part of the same culture of impunity that protected him for years. The emails offer a rare glimpse into Epstein’s mindset — calculating, manipulative, and self-assured that men like Trump would never be held to account because of who they were, not what they did.Additional exchanges between Epstein and author Michael Wolff reveal just how transactional their thinking was. Epstein speculated about using Trump’s denials as leverage, while also claiming that Trump “knew about the girls” and even told Ghislaine to “stop.” The phrasing is damning, not just for what it says but for the world it exposes — a web of men who traded favors, secrets, and silence like currency. Both Epstein and Trump come across as creatures of the same ecosystem: powerful, reckless, and convinced the rules would never apply to them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein mentioned Trump multiple times in private emails, new release shows | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

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-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A bipartisan effort in the United States House of Representatives is on the cusp of forcing a vote to release previously withheld government records connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The mechanism is a discharge petition—which, once it receives 218 signatures, compels the House Speaker to schedule the vote. With the planned swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) poised to provide the crucial 218th signature, the measure could move to the floor in early December if no procedural hurdles arise..That said, the maneuver is rooted in broader partisan and procedural tensions. Speaker Mike Johnson faces criticism for delaying Grijalva's swearing-in amid a House recess, which opponents say was meant to stall the petition and avoid a vote. Johnson maintains the petition is redundant given an ongoing House oversight investigation. Even if the vote proceeds in the House, significant obstacles remain: the Senate and the White House would need to approve the measure for full document release.The showdown  is set.    Who will blink first?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Here’s how the House battle over the Epstein files will play out - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The original prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein in Florida wasn’t just mishandled — it was corrupted from within. Three prosecutors from the same U.S. Attorney’s Office—Bruce Reinhardt, Lilly Sanchez, and Matt Menchel—quit during or immediately after the Epstein investigation and went to work for him or his associates. That isn’t coincidence; that’s the anatomy of a fix. Each of them had access to confidential case information and leveraged that insider knowledge to cash in, turning justice into a commodity. Then, when the Office of the Inspector General reviewed it, the watchdog that should have barked called it merely “bad judgment,” effectively normalizing what was blatant ethical rot. In any other case, this would have been criminal, but in Epstein’s world, betrayal was just another business decision—and the DOJ let it slide.The result was a system that protected predators and punished truth. Epstein’s freedom wasn’t an accident; it was a purchase, bought through a revolving door of prosecutors-turned-defenders, cushioned by bureaucrats too cowardly to act. The OIG’s weak response proved that institutional loyalty outweighed moral duty, and that’s why none of these people have faced consequences. If three prosecutors can defect to a child trafficker’s payroll without consequence, then the justice system is broken by design. Congress should have dragged them in years ago, put them under oath, and made them answer for it. Until that happens, every promise of accountability is hollow, every “lesson learned” meaningless, and the fix remains exactly where Epstein left it — alive, protected, and thriving inside the walls of justice itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The end of the government shutdown effectively removes the procedural roadblock that had been holding up the Epstein discharge petition, allowing Congress to resume normal business and move the petition forward. With the shutdown over, the House can finally swear in Congresswoman Grijalva, whose vote is expected to be the final one needed to push the petition out of committee and onto the floor for formal consideration. For months, this single vacancy and the broader political paralysis in Washington had stalled momentum toward transparency and accountability in the Epstein case. Now, with full congressional operations restored, the focus shifts back to whether lawmakers will honor their promises and take the next step toward exposing the sealed records and compelling long-delayed answers from the Department of Justice.More than just a procedural victory, the shutdown’s end represents a pivotal moment in the broader Epstein accountability movement. It strips away one of the last excuses for inaction and puts renewed pressure on leadership to let the petition proceed without interference. Advocates and survivors who have fought for years to bring Epstein’s network of enablers into public view now see a narrow but meaningful window opening. The discharge petition, if advanced, would force long-shielded evidence and testimony into the public record — something both political parties have quietly resisted. With the shutdown over and the arithmetic finally in place, Congress is out of excuses. It’s time to act.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew has become the royal family’s permanent embarrassment—a man so toxic that even his own relatives now keep him at arm’s length. Once the Queen’s beloved son and a fixture at royal gatherings, he is now the pariah of the monarchy, stripped of his military titles, patronages, and any semblance of public duty. His name alone evokes scandal, his presence a reminder of the Epstein catastrophe that refuses to fade. Invitations to official functions quietly stopped arriving, and the palace’s inner circle made it clear that his rehabilitation was off the table. The man who once strutted with entitlement now shuffles through Windsor’s halls in isolation, a ghost among royals who would rather pretend he isn’t there.Even family holidays have become awkward exercises in avoidance. At Christmas and Easter gatherings in Sandringham and Balmoral, Andrew’s presence is reportedly tolerated, not welcomed—a concession to bloodline rather than affection. He is kept out of official family photos, and the public is carefully shielded from any image that might suggest he’s been forgiven. Behind the palace walls, he eats with a smaller group or arrives late to avoid uncomfortable encounters, while his siblings maintain polite distance. Once the Queen’s “favorite son,” Andrew is now the relative no one wants to sit next to—a man whose downfall has made him a living reminder of the monarchy’s most shameful chapter.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
