The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 41-42) (11/3/25)

People like Prince Andrew live by a rule book that the rest of us don’t even get to see. When ordinary people get accused of wrongdoing, they face real consequences — investigations, charges, public humiliation, the works. But when it’s a royal, the system suddenly becomes very delicate, very cautious, and very secretive. Doors that slam shut for everyone else magically open for them. Andrew, for instance, managed to dodge law enforcement interviews, avoid depositions for years, and settle a major sexual abuse lawsuit without ever admitting guilt. Every step of the way, his titles, connections, and family name served as a kind of diplomatic armor — the privilege of being born above accountability.That’s the true “Rule Book for Royals”: deny everything, hide behind tradition, and let the palace machinery manage the damage. The same institutions that claim moral leadership close ranks to protect their own, wrapping scandal in ceremony and silence. For men like Andrew, shame isn’t career-ending — it’s just an image problem to be managed by courtiers, PR consultants, and lawyers on retainer. The royal playbook isn’t about justice or truth; it’s about preservation. And as long as the crown still glitters, the rule book that governs them will always have different laws — and fewer consequences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After her sentencing, Ghislaine Maxwell immediately began pushing for special treatment, arguing that her imprisonment should be served in the United Kingdom rather than in the U.S. federal system. Her legal team claimed she was being unfairly treated compared to other inmates and that she should be allowed to serve her time closer to her family. Maxwell cited her British citizenship, her alleged “difficult” prison conditions, and her supposed lack of fair treatment throughout the trial as grounds for leniency. In effect, she was attempting to frame herself as a victim of the system — not an enabler of Epstein’s crimes — while using diplomatic channels and her powerful connections to petition for a transfer under international prisoner-exchange agreements.She also sought a drastically reduced sentence, claiming she was being punished for Epstein’s sins and that her role was exaggerated. Maxwell’s lawyers argued that her upbringing, reputation loss, and media scrutiny should be taken into account, painting her as a scapegoat for a man who could no longer be tried. This push for leniency and relocation was seen by victims’ advocates as a continuation of the entitlement that defined her life — a refusal to accept accountability or face the same justice as ordinary offenders. Rather than remorse, her response after sentencing reflected the same privilege and arrogance that had protected her and Epstein for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, the world’s most powerful people all seem to suffer from a highly selective strain of amnesia. Presidents, princes, professors, and billionaires who once took his calls, rode his planes, and cashed his checks suddenly can’t recall how they knew him or why. Bill Clinton can’t quite remember how many times he flew on Epstein’s jet. Prince Andrew claims he doesn’t remember that infamous photo with Virginia Giuffre. Les Wexner “doesn’t recall” signing over his mansion. Ehud Barak “barely knew the man.” Even Alan Dershowitz, who was practically Epstein’s legal shadow, insists any contact was purely academic. It’s like the entire upper crust of global power suddenly developed synchronized memory loss the moment the cameras turned on.This “collective amnesia” isn’t accidental—it’s a survival mechanism. The same people who built and benefited from Epstein’s network now pretend they barely knew the guy who managed their money, funded their projects, and connected them to each other. Their stories always change, their timelines blur, and their denials sound like rehearsed lines from the same crisis-management manual. When it comes to Epstein, the elite don’t just forget—they professionally unremember.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s first major “cancellation” unfolded in November 2019 after his infamous BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. The interview was meant to clear his name regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein, but it instead became a public relations catastrophe. Andrew’s demeanor — unapologetic, defensive, and tone-deaf — provoked massive backlash across Britain and beyond. Within days, the Duke of York announced he would be stepping back from public duties “for the foreseeable future,” admitting that his relationship with Epstein had become “a major disruption” to the work of the royal family. The Queen approved his withdrawal, and charities and corporate sponsors swiftly severed ties, effectively exiling him from public life.In the weeks following, more than 230 charities and organisations either dropped him as patron or distanced themselves. Buckingham Palace quietly confirmed he would no longer represent the Crown in any official capacity, marking the first time in modern royal history that a senior royal was effectively removed due to scandal rather than abdication or illness. The event became known as Andrew’s first “cancellation” — a total collapse of public and institutional support triggered by his disastrous defense of an indefensible friendship. It also set the tone for the years of isolation, legal scrutiny, and humiliation that would follow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In regard to Epstein’s death, Kuvin has expressed strong skepticism that it was a straightforward suicide. He notes that in his mediations with Epstein the financier never displayed the mindset of someone considering ending his own life — Epstein was “overly self-confident” and apparently believed he would beat the system. In one interview he said the “evidence is circumstantial but overwhelming” that Epstein did not die by his own hand, pointing to protocol failures in the jail (absent cellmate, sleeping guards, camera failures) and Epstein’s attitude as major red flags.On the question of Prince Andrew’s connection to Epstein, Kuvin has been openly critical. He argues that the Prince’s denials and limited admissions do not erase the years of association with Epstein and others in that orbit. He has labelled Andrew’s 2019 interview and other statements as “despicable” for failing to fully acknowledge the breadth of the friendship and what it meant for victims, and has said that until Andrew transparently cooperates with U.S. authorities, his avoidance only reinforces the perception of guilt.Finally, on Epstein’s estate, Kuvin has called attention to the rights of victims and the need for full transparency in how that estate is being managed. He has pointed out that he represents multiple claimants against the estate and lauded the establishment of the victims’ compensation program as a “huge victory” for survivors. He has also underscored that the estate remains a critical vehicle not just for compensation, but for uncovering the scope of Epstein’s network and financial dealings — something he says is far from finished.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A Newsweek poll conducted in mid-2020 revealed that a majority of Britons believed Prince Andrew should face extradition to the United States for questioning over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to the survey, 59 percent of respondents said the Duke of York should be sent to the U.S. if requested by authorities, while 52 percent said he should also be stripped of his remaining royal titles. The poll reflected widespread public anger following Andrew’s disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, in which his attempts to distance himself from Epstein backfired and intensified scrutiny over his conduct and associations.The findings underscored the severe reputational damage Andrew’s scandal inflicted on the British monarchy, highlighting the growing public demand for accountability. Despite his insistence on cooperating with law enforcement “when required,” U.S. prosecutors at the time accused him of failing to respond to official requests for an interview, deepening frustration both in America and the U.K. The poll’s results were seen as a clear signal that the public’s patience had run out, with a majority viewing him as a liability to the royal family rather than a protected institution of it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyers have accused Prince Andrew of engaging in “extreme and outrageous conduct,” alleging that he not only sexually abused her when she was a teenager trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein but also sought to discredit her in the years that followed. According to the Daily Mail’s report, the claims stem from newly filed court documents in which Giuffre’s legal team asserts that Andrew and others associated with Epstein engaged in a deliberate campaign to smear her reputation and undermine her credibility as a victim. The filing reportedly portrays Andrew’s denials and legal maneuvers as part of a wider effort to protect himself and the powerful figures within Epstein’s network, drawing renewed attention to his prior settlement with Giuffre in 2022 — a deal said to have cost him millions and which did not include any admission of guilt.The accusations come amid continuing scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s conduct and his lingering ties to Epstein’s world, long after his attempt to rehabilitate his public image following his forced withdrawal from royal duties. Giuffre’s attorneys have framed the allegations as emblematic of a broader pattern of intimidation and gaslighting endured by Epstein’s victims, arguing that powerful men like Andrew weaponized their influence to suppress accountability. For Andrew, the renewed legal focus could reignite public and political pressure on Buckingham Palace, which has spent years distancing the monarchy from the scandal. While his team has not issued a detailed response to the latest claims, the development underscores how the Epstein saga continues to shadow the disgraced prince — legally, morally, and reputationally.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
