Mega Edition: Judge Preska Explains Her Plan to Unseal Maxwell/Virginia Files (11/13/25)

Prince Andrew came under scrutiny after documents revealed he told bankers to call Buckingham Palace when they questioned a £750,000 payment tied to him. The transaction raised compliance concerns, prompting officials to seek clarity on whether it was legitimate. Instead of offering a straightforward explanation, Andrew reportedly directed them to his Palace office, effectively leaning on his royal status to quell the inquiry.The payment’s origins and purpose stirred suspicions, especially given Andrew’s already controversial financial dealings and public scandals. The move highlighted how he allegedly relied on the prestige of the monarchy to shield himself from financial accountability, deepening concerns about his judgment and raising questions over whether he abused his royal position for personal protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Courtney Wild and Haley Robson, two women who say they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, filed a defamation lawsuit against journalist Julie K. Brown in 2022. They argue Brown’s book Perversion of Justice contained false claims that harmed their reputations. Wild says the book wrongly described her as having had intercourse with Epstein and being raped, allegations she denies. Robson, meanwhile, claims Brown portrayed her as complicit in Epstein’s operations after she refused to be interviewed for the book.According to the lawsuit, Brown’s reporting left both women branded in ways that distorted their roles in the Epstein saga, causing reputational damage and emotional distress. The plaintiffs allege that Brown pressured them and misrepresented facts for dramatic effect, leaving them to suffer fallout in their personal and professional lives. The case underscores the tensions between journalistic storytelling and survivor testimony in high-profile abuse investigations.Courtney Wild and Haley Robson, both survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, wrote powerful letters to top executives at JPMorgan—among them CEO Jamie Dimon—accusing the bank of enabling Epstein’s conduct by keeping him as a client for many years, despite knowing or having reason to know that there were serious abuse allegations. They ask JPMorgan to acknowledge that it benefited from the relationship (through transactions, accounts, etc.), to admit wrongdoing or mistakes, and to take steps to make amends—both to them and to other survivors. Wild and Robson frame their demand not just in moral terms but in legal and institutional accountability: that the bank should own up, not hide behind fine print or internal policies.They also stress that JPMorgan’s public statements and depositions (including Jamie Dimon’s) have downplayed or denied knowledge of Epstein’s abuse or minimized the bank’s role. In their letters, they challenge that narrative: they maintain that JPMorgan had ample warning of red flags and thus cannot claim complete ignorance. They call for transparency—release of internal documents, full cooperation, and concrete reforms—to ensure what happened with Epstein doesn’t happen again under the bank’s watch.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Theresa Helm has alleged that Epstein’s estate has been uncooperative with survivors in terms of transparency, accountability, and compensation. She and other claimants have brought civil lawsuits against the estate, accusing it of rape, sexual battery, false imprisonment, and of perpetuating a system that allowed Epstein and his enablers to continue abusing and trafficker women and minors. Helm has called for the release of federal documents related to Epstein’s cases, arguing that they are essential for understanding the full scope of what happened, who was involved, and how much oversight (or negligence) there was.She has also alleged that many survivors were recruited under false pretenses (e.g. “job interviews,” modeling, legitimate opportunities), and that the estate has not done enough to address the harms done or to compensate victims fairly. Some of the lawsuits in which she is involved (including Teresa Helm et al v. Epstein’s estate) seek not only monetary damages but acknowledgment of wrongdoing, accountability for enablers, and public disclosure of records. Helm emphasizes that this is about more than money—it’s about exposing structural wrongdoing and ensuring survivors’ voices are heard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DisplayFile.aspx (vicourts.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The JonBenét Ramsey case is a high-profile, unsolved murder mystery that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, in 1996. JonBenét Ramsey was a 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant who was found murdered in her family's home on December 26, 1996. Her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, reported her missing and claimed to have found a ransom note demanding $118,000.However, later that day, JonBenét's body was discovered in the basement of the Ramsey's home. She had been strangled and had a severe head injury. The circumstances surrounding the murder, including the ransom note and the fact that the family did not immediately contact the police, raised suspicions and made the case highly publicized.The investigation was marked by controversy and mishandling. Suspicion initially fell on the Ramsey family, including JonBenét's parents and her older brother, Burke. They were subjected to intense media scrutiny, but they maintained their innocence.The case was complicated by a lack of physical evidence and a ransom note that appeared to be written within the Ramsey home. Some investigators and experts suggested that an intruder might have been responsible, while others believed the family might be hiding something.The Boulder police were criticized for not securing the crime scene properly, and their handling of the case came under scrutiny.Despite years of investigation and several grand jury proceedings, no one was ever charged or convicted in connection with JonBenét Ramsey's murder.To this day, the case remains unsolved, and it continues to be a subject of public fascination and speculation, with various theories and suspects proposed over the years.In this episode, we hear from Jonbenet Ramsey's father who talks about the differences in how the Moscow Murders investigation was handled and how his daughters case was handled, and how Boulder PD had just stuffed their pride, he thinks that his daughters killer would have already been brought to justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JonBenét Ramsey's dad says Idaho murders probe shines a light on failings by police in his daughter's case | The US Sun (the-sun.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

From the archives: 12-3-22When a homicide investigation is conducted, it is commonly thought that the first 48 hours are the most critical portion of the investigation and that with each passing day, the likelihood of solving the case diminishes. Is this true though?

The Idaho Supreme Court has granted a change of venue for Bryan Kohberger's trial, moving it from Latah County to Ada County. This decision was made after Kohberger's defense raised concerns over finding an impartial jury in the original county due to the high-profile nature of the case. Kohberger is accused of the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students in November 2022, a crime that has garnered significant media attention and community impact.In addition to the venue change, the Idaho courts have assigned District Judge Steven Hippler from the Fourth Judicial District to oversee the case moving forward. Kohberger, who has been in custody since his arrest, will be transferred to the Ada County Jail as the trial preparations continue. This move aims to ensure a fair trial by reducing local bias that could influence the outcome. The upcoming proceedings are expected to be closely watched as the legal process advances in a new jurisdiction.(commercial at 8:45)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger judge announces new location for Idaho murders trial | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Many critics inside and outside Parliament argue that Starmer showed poor political judgment by appointing Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US despite known associations with Jeffrey Epstein. Leaked emails revealed Mandelson had defended or supported Epstein after his 2008 conviction, and expressed views questioning that conviction. Although some of these connections had long been reported, additional content and its extent were only fully disclosed after Mandelson’s appointment. Opponents say Starmer should have immediately known that such red flags made the appointment untenable. The delay in reacting — first defending Mandelson, then firing him once the media published further revelations — has amplified the accusations of weak oversight and lack of risk assessment.Within the Labour Party, there’s growing frustration over what many see as Starmer’s misreading of both optics and substance. Backbenchers and senior MPs have called for full transparency about the vetting process: what he was told, when, and by whom. Opposing parties are demanding apologies to Epstein’s victims, and some suggest that if Starmer cannot adequately account for these failures, his position could become unsustainable — especially if the controversy damages Labour’s standing in upcoming local elections. The controversy feeds into a broader narrative among critics that Starmer has repeatedly made questionable appointments, and lacks decisiveness and political sharpness when warning signs emerge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Keir Starmer breaks silence over Mandelson sacking: ‘Had I known then what I know now, I’d have never appointed him’ | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
