What 62 Million Dollars Buys A Jeffrey Epstein Associate In The USVI

What 62 Million Dollars Buys A Jeffrey Epstein Associate In The USVI

In July 2023, billionaire Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, agreed to pay roughly $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to resolve potential claims tied to his financial dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. The USVI had been pursuing Epstein’s estate and associates for enabling or benefiting from his trafficking network, and Black was facing scrutiny over large payments made to Epstein’s companies for so-called “financial advice.” The settlement gave Black immunity from criminal liability in the USVI and ended the possibility of a lawsuit there, though it did not include an admission of wrongdoing. Black has consistently said the payments were legitimate professional fees and that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.


The deal, however, did not put all questions to rest. Around the same time, the Senate Finance Committee, led by Senator Ron Wyden, released documents showing Black paid Epstein far more than originally known—over $150 million between 2012 and 2017—sparking deeper concerns that such vast sums may have indirectly financed Epstein’s operations. The revelations intensified scrutiny not only of Black’s judgment but also of whether banks and institutions involved properly flagged or investigated the transactions. While the $62 million settlement resolved matters with the Virgin Islands, it left lingering doubts about the true nature of Black’s relationship with Epstein and whether full accountability was ever reached.

Mega Edition:   How Jeffrey Epstein Shrugged Off Justice In Florida (Part 2) (9/17/25)

Mega Edition: How Jeffrey Epstein Shrugged Off Justice In Florida (Part 2) (9/17/25)

Jeffrey Epstein was able to evade real justice in Florida through a combination of wealth, connections, and a deeply compromised legal system that bent over backward to accommodate him. In 2008, despite overwhelming evidence that he had sexually abused dozens of underage girls, Epstein secured a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with DOJ. This sweetheart deal allowed him to plead guilty to minor state charges—soliciting prostitution from a minor—while avoiding federal charges that could have put him away for life. The deal was struck in secrecy, without informing Epstein’s victims, in blatant violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Instead of facing true consequences, Epstein was sentenced to just 18 months in a county jail, where he was granted work release for 12 hours a day, six days a week, allowing him to return to his office and continue his life of luxury. Even within jail, he received special treatment, reportedly having his own private wing and access to amenities most inmates could only dream of.Beyond the legal system’s corruption, Epstein’s ability to avoid justice was reinforced by his powerful network, which included high-profile politicians, business moguls, and celebrities. Florida prosecutors initially identified at least 36 underage victims, yet law enforcement’s pursuit of him was deliberately stifled. Acosta later admitted that he was told to “back off” because Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” a cryptic remark that only fueled speculation about deeper government entanglements. The failure of the justice system was not just a legal oversight but a calculated betrayal of Epstein’s victims. Law enforcement, prosecutors, and the courts all played a role in ensuring he walked free, sending a clear message that power and money could override even the most heinous crimes. It wasn't until over a decade later—after mounting public pressure and investigative journalism—that Epstein was arrested again in 2019. But by then, he had already spent years laughing at a justice system that had been complicit in shielding him from real accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ron DeSantis And His Epstein Comments While On The Hannity Show

Ron DeSantis And His Epstein Comments While On The Hannity Show

On Hannity, Ron DeSantis spotlighted his newly signed Florida law authorizing the release of grand jury transcripts from the 2006 Jeffrey Epstein investigation. He argued that the public has a right to see who was implicated and to understand how a wealthy, politically connected sex trafficker managed to secure such a lenient deal. DeSantis stressed that the punishment Epstein received in Florida was “wholly inadequate” for the crimes, framing the move as a correction to past failures of accountability.He also emphasized that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were not the only ones involved, saying that others who played roles in the trafficking network should be exposed and held responsible. DeSantis framed the bill as a way to pierce secrecy and prevent elite protection from shielding wrongdoers, underscoring that no amount of wealth or influence should insulate people from justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DeSantis Details Legislation Behind Releasing Epstein Docs, Says Ghislaine Maxwell Can’t Be The Only One Responsible | The Daily CallerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Capital One and Their Epstein Related SARS Problem

Capital One and Their Epstein Related SARS Problem

In 2021, Capital One agreed to pay a staggering $390 million penalty after U.S. regulators determined the bank had willfully failed to comply with anti–money laundering requirements. The investigation revealed that Capital One allowed millions of suspicious transactions to flow through its check-cashing operations between 2008 and 2014 without filing the necessary suspicious activity reports. These lapses enabled potential money laundering and other illicit financial activities to slip past the very safeguards designed to prevent them. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) described the bank’s conduct as a serious breakdown in oversight, especially troubling for a major institution trusted with safeguarding the financial system.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/capital-one-settles-with-fincen-over-anti-money-laundering-deficiencies-11610750699Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black and Apollo's Pursuit of Sands Corp

Leon Black and Apollo's Pursuit of Sands Corp

Apollo Global Management (along with VICI Properties) struck a massive deal to acquire The Venetian Resort, Palazzo, and Sands Expo from Las Vegas Sands for about $6.25 billion. The deal split the real estate and operations: VICI bought the land and real estate assets (~$4 billion), while Apollo acquired the operating company. Apollo is responsible for running day-to-day operations including hotel rooms, casinos, dining, entertainment, and conventions. Seller financing and favorable lease terms with VICI were part of the structure, making it a complex transaction with shared responsibilitiesRegulators in Nevada approved Apollo’s license to operate the properties, despite concerns tied to Apollo’s past (notably its prior ownership of Caesars and founder Leon Black’s controversies). To address those concerns, Apollo agreed to strict governance structures: Leon Black, though still a shareholder, would have no day-to-day control, no board seat, and would stay fully separated from decision-making for these properties. Apollo reinforced that this deal is very different from its prior stressful venture with Caesars, mainly with less leverage, clearer operational expectations, and stronger protections.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2022/02/01/as-apollo-makes-license-bid-for-sands-founder-alleges-conspiracy-against-co-founder/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Attempt To White Wash Les Wexner's Deep Ties To Jeffrey Epstein

The Attempt To White Wash Les Wexner's Deep Ties To Jeffrey Epstein

Les Wexner is a billionaire businessman known for founding L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works. His relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender, has drawn attention due to their close association.Wexner and Epstein's relationship dates back to the 1980s, when Wexner entrusted Epstein with managing his finances. Epstein also served as Wexner's financial advisor and was given power of attorney over Wexner's affairs. Through this connection, Epstein gained significant influence and access to Wexner's wealth.Wexner reportedly granted Epstein control over his vast fortune, including properties and assets, which Epstein allegedly used to enhance his own wealth and lifestyle. Epstein's association with Wexner also provided him with credibility and connections within elite circles.Their relationship came under scrutiny after Epstein's arrest and subsequent conviction on charges of sex trafficking of minors. Epstein reportedly used his association with Wexner to gain access to wealthy and influential individuals, which contributed to the controversy surrounding their connection.Wexner has since claimed that he severed ties with Epstein in the early 2000s and denounced him following Epstein's criminal charges. However, questions remain about the extent of their relationship and the nature of Wexner's involvement with Epstein's activities, namely the credible accusations leveled against him.In this episode we dive into the white washing of Wexners relationship and how many in the legacy media still continue to miss the bigger picture.(commercial at 10:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Will Ohio State cut ties with Les Wexner's over Jeffrey Epstein scandal?

Jeffrey Epstein And His Popularity Amongst Socialites

Jeffrey Epstein And His Popularity Amongst Socialites

Jeffrey Epstein was deeply embedded in the socialite world, cultivating friendships and influence among some of the richest, most powerful, and most famous people globally. His circle included high-profile figures such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Leon Black, Les Wexner, and Alan Dershowitz. These ties ranged from superficial social interactions—attending elite parties, being included in birthday books, and hobnobbing at private estates—to deeper personal and professional arrangements. Epstein also associated with powerful facilitators like Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite who helped him gain entrée into upper-class society and allegedly assisted him in recruiting girls.A more nuanced aspect of Epstein’s socialite friendships is the blend of charm, glamour, secrecy, and power these relationships enabled. Some reciprocated gestures—messages in the “birthday book” (like that from Leon Black), lavish gifts, and patronage—while others later claimed ignorance or deniability when accusations arose. Many have since faced scrutiny for how close they were, whether they benefitted materially or socially, and whether they turned a blind eye to Epstein’s crimes. Maxwell is central to this network—not only as a social figure but also as the linchpin facilitating connections, orchestrating social entry for Epstein, and allegedly being complicit in illegal schemes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://pagesix.com/2022/08/24/caroline-stanbury-accused-of-being-in-jeffrey-epsteins-black-book/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Transcripts From The Bill Barr Epstein Related Congressional Deposition (Part 2) (9/17/25)

Transcripts From The Bill Barr Epstein Related Congressional Deposition (Part 2) (9/17/25)

Bill Barr’s deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein’s death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr’s narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr’s evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump’s knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein’s death but couldn’t recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr’s testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
