Is this investigation A Search For Truth Or An Attempt To Bury The Epstein’s Files Forever? (Part 2) (11/17/25)

Since the scandal over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein erupted, Prince Andrew has lived largely as a recluse, stripped of his military titles, patronages, and official royal duties. After his disastrous 2019 Newsnight interview, he stepped back from public life and by 2022 had lost the right to use his “HRH” styling in any official capacity. His social media presence was erased, his royal engagements ceased, and he was effectively removed from the core activities of the monarchy. Once regarded as an active working royal, he has since become a sidelined figure whose only appearances are private or incidental.Today, Andrew lives quietly at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he shares the residence with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Reports describe him as withdrawn and rarely seen in public, spending most of his time behind the walls of his estate, receiving occasional family visits and engaging in routine, low-key activities. Though the royal family has worked to distance itself, Andrew has retained his residence rights and security arrangements, though both have fueled ongoing controversy and speculation over how long such privileges can continue.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Focusing the entire Jeffrey Epstein scandal on Donald Trump is a trap because it narrows a sprawling, decades-long criminal conspiracy into a single political talking point. Epstein’s network reached across party lines, continents, and industries—Wall Street, academia, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, royal families, and multiple presidential administrations. Reducing that to “Trump and Epstein” not only misrepresents the scale of the system that enabled Epstein but also gives cover to the countless other powerful figures who benefited from his operations or protected him. By making Trump the centerpiece, the conversation stops being about systemic corruption and becomes yet another partisan grudge match, which is exactly how real accountability gets buried.It’s also a trap because it polarizes the public into camps before any real investigation even begins. Once the scandal is framed as “Epstein = Trump,” critics and defenders dig in along predictable political lines, and survivors’ voices get drowned out in the noise of culture-war talking points. This allows institutions—from banks to universities to intelligence agencies—to skate by without scrutiny because everyone’s busy arguing over one man’s photo ops or flight logs. Epstein’s story is not a Trump story; it’s a story about a global blackmail network operating with impunity. Making it about Trump alone hands the very system that enabled Epstein the easiest out imaginable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) was supposed to guarantee fairness and transparency for victims—making sure they were informed, included, and respected in the legal process. But when Jeffrey Epstein came along, that promise evaporated. Federal prosecutors secretly cut a Non-Prosecution Agreement that protected not only Epstein but also his “potential co-conspirators,” violating the very law designed to stop such backroom deals. The victims weren’t told; they found out months later from the press. The same Department of Justice that preaches accountability deliberately hid the deal, broke federal law, and then argued that the CVRA didn’t apply because no federal charges were filed—an argument so twisted it turned their own crime into a loophole.Instead of punishment, Epstein got 13 months in county jail with daily work release, while the prosecutors who betrayed the victims got promotions. The courts sided with the government, ruling that since the feds never formally charged Epstein, the survivors technically weren’t “victims” under the CVRA. The result was a legal farce that showed how easily the system bends for the powerful. The law that was supposed to protect victims ended up protecting predators, proving once again that in America, justice isn’t blind—it just looks away when the wrong people are involved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his La Santé prison cell in Paris on February 19, 2022, in what authorities immediately labeled a suicide by hanging. Brunel had been under investigation for rape, sexual harassment, and the trafficking of minors, accused by several women—including Virginia Giuffre—of grooming and supplying underage models to Epstein and other powerful men. His death occurred before his case could reach trial, instantly reigniting suspicions about how another key figure in the Epstein network could die under eerily similar circumstances to Epstein himself. Victims expressed outrage, saying Brunel’s death robbed them of justice and silenced a potential witness who might have revealed more about the structure and reach of Epstein’s global operation.The official narrative—that Brunel’s death was a suicide—sparked widespread skepticism and frustration across France and beyond. Reports emerged that Brunel had been on suicide watch previously, prompting questions about prison oversight, security lapses, and whether his death was preventable—or possibly convenient. Critics drew parallels to Epstein’s own jailhouse death in 2019, arguing that both men’s sudden “suicides” effectively closed critical avenues of investigation into elite sex-trafficking networks. French prosecutors confirmed no foul play was “immediately suspected,” but they acknowledged the timing and circumstances raised understandable public concern. To this day, Brunel’s death remains shrouded in doubt, a haunting echo of a global scandal that continues to expose the failures of institutions to deliver full accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was a sprawling 10,000-acre compound in Santa Fe County that became one of the most infamous properties linked to his alleged sex-trafficking network. A portion of the land—roughly 1,200 acres—was not privately owned but leased from the New Mexico State Land Office through Epstein’s shell company, Cypress Inc., under an agricultural land-use contract. State officials later revealed that the lease had been maintained for decades without oversight or genuine agricultural activity, effectively allowing Epstein to use public land as a privacy buffer for his secluded estate. After Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, the New Mexico State Land Office canceled the lease, citing violations of public trust and misuse of state property. Investigations showed that Epstein’s lease terms, which were intended for grazing, were instead used to create restricted access zones around the compound, preventing entry onto land that technically belonged to the people of New Mexico.Epstein also took advantage of New Mexico’s age of consent laws, which set the legal threshold at 17 years old, to minimize his legal exposure in the state. When he moved operations to Zorro Ranch after his 2008 conviction in Florida, New Mexico officials determined that because his victim in that case had been 17, he did not meet the criteria to register as a sex offender under their state laws. This legal loophole allowed him to reside and travel freely in New Mexico without the stigma or restrictions of public registration. Critics later called the decision “deeply troubling,” noting that Epstein’s influence, wealth, and legal resources enabled him to exploit state-level legal distinctions to shield himself from scrutiny. The combination of public land privilege and lenient age statutes made Zorro Ranch a legal gray zone—one that Epstein used to his advantage until the state finally revoked his land rights years after his death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the now-concluded civil case Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., the USVI sought a partial summary judgment before the case was settled, arguing that the evidence overwhelmingly showed JPMorgan knowingly facilitated Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. The filing claimed that internal emails, compliance reports, and testimony proved the bank ignored repeated red flags about Epstein’s financial activity—including large cash withdrawals, suspicious wire transfers, and employee warnings linking him to underage abuse. The USVI contended that JPMorgan profited from Epstein’s wealth and social connections while turning a blind eye to clear indicators of criminal conduct, violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) by financially enabling a known sex trafficker. In essence, the government asked the court to rule that JPMorgan was civilly liable on key elements of the case before it ever reachedJPMorgan denied wrongdoing and opposed the motion, insisting that there were factual disputes unsuitable for summary judgment, particularly regarding the bank’s knowledge and intent. The court ultimately declined to grant the USVI’s motion, finding that the issues were complex enough to warrant continued litigation—but the case ended shortly thereafter in December 2023, when JPMorgan agreed to a $75 million settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands. The agreement included commitments for JPMorgan to enhance its compliance and anti-trafficking procedures while denying any admission of liability. Though the USVI didn’t win its partial summary judgment outright, the motion itself played a crucial role in forcing discovery that exposed internal JPMorgan communications and helped push the bank toward settlement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
