Mega Edition: Jes Staley And His Motion To Exclude JP Morgan's Expert Witness Opinions (8/18/25)
The lawsuits stem from parallel cases in the Southern District of New York: one brought by Jane Doe on behalf of Epstein’s victims and another by the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, both targeting JPMorgan Chase for its alleged role in enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan, in turn, filed third-party claims against former executive James Edward Staley, arguing that he should bear responsibility for any liability tied to Epstein, given his close personal and professional ties to the financier. These cases became highly significant in exposing the financial networks that allegedly allowed Epstein’s crimes to flourish.In response, Staley filed a motion to exclude JPMorgan Chase’s proffered expert opinions, challenging the credibility and admissibility of the bank’s expert witnesses. His brief sought to limit the evidence that could be used against him, aiming to weaken JPMorgan’s case for shifting liability onto him. This move reflects Staley’s broader defense strategy of resisting being scapegoated as the primary enabler within JPMorgan, while the bank itself faced mounting scrutiny for its role in maintaining Epstein as a client despite numerous red flags.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.591653.342.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 12)
On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:KB-25-01-23-Hearing-Redacted.eclBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bill Barr And His Role As Arbiter Of Truth When It Comes To Jeffrey Epstein's Death (8/18/25)
Bill Barr’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s death was nothing short of a disgrace. From the moment Epstein was found dead in his cell, Barr rushed to reassure the public that there was “no evidence” of foul play, even though the facts on the ground screamed otherwise: guards asleep, cameras malfunctioning, and a high-profile prisoner left alone despite being an obvious suicide risk. Rather than treating the matter with the transparency and rigor demanded by such a monumental failure of federal custody, Barr instead leaned into the narrative of “bungling incompetence,” effectively steering the public away from the far more troubling possibility of corruption, complicity, or deliberate neglect. His role was less about seeking justice and more about protecting institutions from scrutiny.The aftermath only deepened the scandal. Barr presided over an investigation that was tepid, narrow in scope, and ultimately designed to close doors rather than open them. Instead of demanding accountability from the Bureau of Prisons and investigating the broader network of Epstein’s enablers, Barr allowed the focus to remain on low-level staff scapegoats while the powerful ties Epstein cultivated were quietly brushed aside. His public statements carried the hollow tone of someone managing damage control, not uncovering the truth. In the end, Barr’s stewardship of the case did not restore trust—it obliterated it. The public saw clearly what he was doing: protecting the system at all costs, even if it meant letting the most suspicious death in modern American history remain shrouded in doubt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell And The Exploitation Of The Class Divide (Part 2) (8/18/25)
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes thrived on the exploitation of class divides. They deliberately targeted vulnerable young women—those from unstable homes, low-income backgrounds, or struggling with limited opportunities—dangling promises of money, mentorship, and access to elite circles. For girls working minimum-wage jobs or dreaming of better futures, the offers seemed like lifelines. Epstein and Maxwell weaponized poverty, dependency, and ambition, using small sums of money, gifts, and false promises to entrap victims. Their wealth and Maxwell’s social standing acted as shields, giving them legitimacy while making their victims appear disposable. The imbalance of power silenced survivors, who often feared judgment, disbelief, or outright retaliation if they spoke up.The system itself reinforced their protection. Law enforcement, courts, and media outlets routinely dismissed or minimized accusations from working-class survivors, while bending to Epstein’s fortune and influence. Prosecutors struck sweetheart deals, institutions accepted his donations, and the press hesitated to challenge powerful connections. Even settlements reduced suffering to small payouts compared to Epstein’s fortune, reinforcing the inequality he exploited. Maxwell’s conviction exposed part of the machinery, but the broader truth remains: Epstein and Maxwell thrived not only because of their wealth, but because they understood how inequality silences the powerless and protects the powerful. Their crimes weren’t isolated—they were symptoms of a system built to favor privilege over justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
