Morning Update: A Trip Around The Jeffrey Epstein Headlines (9/10/25)

Bill Richardson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein highlight the grotesque double standard that protects the powerful. Despite being named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men she was trafficked to, Richardson—former New Mexico governor, U.N. ambassador, and establishment insider—faced almost no scrutiny. His denials were delivered with the bland, calculated tone of a man confident that his reputation and connections would shield him. The media, which treats lesser figures with endless outrage, politely buried his name, turning what should have been a career-ending scandal into a forgotten footnote. That silence was not oversight—it was a deliberate choice by the same machine that has long protected Epstein’s orbit of elites.Richardson’s case is especially damning because Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, rumored to be a hub of trafficking and secrecy, sat in New Mexico under his watch as governor. The coincidence is staggering, yet no questions were asked, no investigations launched, and no accountability pursued. His inclusion in Virginia’s sworn testimony wasn’t random—it fit a consistent pattern of Epstein surrounding himself with powerful, insulated men unlikely to face consequences. Richardson’s polished career may remain intact in polite circles, but his name is forever entwined with the Epstein scandal, serving as a perfect example of how justice bends when it brushes up against the untouchables.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The first story focuses on Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious 50th birthday scrapbook, compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, which has resurfaced as a source of fresh outrage and renewed scrutiny. The book is filled with messages from some of the most powerful and influential men in politics, finance, and entertainment, including one alleged note from Donald Trump laced with sexual innuendo. Among the disturbing details is also the image of a $22,500 check written in Trump’s name, raising new questions about the depth of Epstein’s financial and social ties. The scrapbook, far from being an innocent memento, reads like a who’s-who of elite figures who either tolerated or outright embraced Epstein even after his predatory behavior had been whispered about in elite circles.The second story zeroes in on Prince Andrew, who is once again under the microscope as reports suggest that more than 100 secret emails linked to Epstein could soon be released. These emails, reportedly involving Andrew, Maxwell, and Epstein, are being described as potentially devastating—enough to “destroy” what little remains of Andrew’s public reputation following his disastrous legal entanglements and ties to Epstein’s network. If the emails are made public, they may further expose not only Andrew’s role in Epstein’s world but also raise difficult questions about how much the monarchy knew, tolerated, or overlooked. The looming shadow of these unreleased communications has reignited fears inside Buckingham Palace of another scandal explosion that could eclipse past embarrassments.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/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-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mark Epstein, the brother of Jeffrey Epstein, has been one of the most vocal figures challenging the official narrative surrounding his brother’s death. He has repeatedly questioned the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide, citing inconsistencies in the official reports and demanding transparency from authorities. Mark has pointed to the fact that his brother’s injuries—most notably the hyoid bone fracture—were more consistent with homicide than suicide, according to forensic experts such as Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by the Epstein family to conduct an independent examination. Additionally, he has expressed frustration over the lack of clear surveillance footage from Epstein’s jail cell, the unusual staffing shortages at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) on the night of his death, and the suspicious failure of the guards to check on him at scheduled intervals. To Mark, these irregularities suggest foul play rather than the simple case of suicide the government has put forward.His calls for a deeper investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death have fueled broader public skepticism, as many believe Epstein’s extensive network of powerful associates had every reason to silence him. Mark Epstein has called for the release of all available evidence, including unredacted autopsy reports, prison logs, and surveillance footage, arguing that the truth has been deliberately buried. He has accused the authorities of failing to provide a satisfactory explanation and has demanded a congressional inquiry into what he sees as a cover-up. Despite the official ruling of suicide by the New York City medical examiner, Mark and others continue to push for an independent investigation, arguing that the case was closed too quickly and without sufficient scrutiny. His persistent demands highlight the lingering doubts surrounding Epstein’s death, reinforcing the belief that the truth remains hidden behind a wall of political and institutional protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Even from behind bars, Ghislaine Maxwell continues to staunchly defend Prince Andrew, displaying a brazen disregard for the gravity of her own convictions and the overwhelming evidence against her. In a 2022 interview from prison, Maxwell audaciously claimed that the infamous photograph showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, is "fake," despite its widespread acceptance as genuine. This blatant attempt to discredit a victim not only undermines the experiences of countless survivors but also highlights Maxwell's unrepentant nature and her willingness to perpetuate falsehoods to protect her powerful associates.Furthermore, Maxwell's expressed sympathy for Prince Andrew, referring to him as a "dear friend" and stating she "feels so bad" for him, is a glaring example of her continued manipulation and deflection. By portraying Andrew as a victim suffering due to his association with her, Maxwell attempts to elicit public sympathy for a man who has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, thereby minimizing the severity of the allegations against him. This tactic not only insults the intelligence of the public but also serves to retraumatize survivors by elevating the concerns of the accused over the suffering of the victims. Maxwell's unwavering defense of Prince Andrew from her prison cell is a stark reminder of her persistent allegiance to the powerful, even at the expense of justice and truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2017, Jeffrey Epstein supposedly threatened to expose an extramarital affair between Bill Gates and a Russian bridge player named Mila Antonova in order to force Gates to reimburse Epstein for tuition Epstein had paid for Antonova’s software coding school. The source claims that Epstein used this knowledge of the affair as leverage after Gates had declined to join a philanthropic fund Epstein was trying to set up.Gates’ representatives have disputed some of the characterization, saying that Gates never had any financial dealings with Epstein in that context, and that the idea of “blackmail” has been framed through accounts from sources familiar with the matter. Gates has publicly said that it was a mistake to associate with Epstein, that he thought Epstein might help with global health philanthropy, and he regrets giving him credibilityto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/idaho-university-murders-live-more-than-one-suspect-may-be-at-large-in-the-slayings-of-four-students/ar-AA14cJKhBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

David Boies, attorney for Virginia Giuffre, explained that Prince Andrew initially tried to stonewall the case but quickly pivoted toward a settlement when faced with the prospect of a deposition. According to Boies, Andrew’s priority was to pay as little as possible and avoid publicly acknowledging Giuffre as a victim, even implying her claims were fabricated. The agreement, reached just a week before the scheduled deposition, centered on two elements: a “substantial amount of money” and a carefully worded statement from Andrew, both resolved swiftly under pressure.Boies later noted that if Andrew truly wanted to back out of the settlement, the process was simple: “Just call me, let me take Andrew’s deposition, and we’ll go to trial.” After Giuffre’s death in April 2025, Boies again pressed Andrew to take responsibility, stressing that Virginia would have accepted even a partial acknowledgment or apology. He insisted it was “not too late” for Andrew to come clean, framing accountability as the only way to honor Giuffre’s legacy and provide a measure of justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyer for Prince Andrew's sex abuse accuser claims Duke of York avoided going to trial over photo | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
