Jeffrey Epstein, The Beauty Pageant And The FBI Arrest That Never Came
In May 2007, as part of the federal investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking, the FBI planned to arrest him while he was judging a beauty pageant in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The move was highly strategic: they had gathered evidence and believed the event would provide an opportunity to act. However, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Southern Florida intervened and blocked the plan, deciding not to approve the indictment at that time. They delayed the case, and Epstein remained free for a longer period before ultimately negotiating the non-prosecution agreement instead of facing full federal charges.This beauty pageant episode has become emblematic of the deeper problems in how Epstein was handled: prosecutors overruling agents, delays in approving charges, and the decision to settle for a plea that many say let Epstein off too lightly. Supporters of the victims argue that had the plan to arrest Epstein at the pageant moved forward, it might have prevented further abuse and revealed more of the network of accomplices earlier on. The story underscores claims that higher-ups in the justice system cushioned Epstein from full accountability, allowing him to continue operating with impunity for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-wanted-arrest-epstein-virgin-islands-beauty-pageant-1-year-n1247788Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jimmy Kimmel And His Comments On Jeffrey Epstein
Jimmy Kimmel, like most of the loud mouths who know little to nothing about Jeffrey Epstein, thinks it's a good idea to bring Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes up and frame those crimes and the years of abuse as a conspiracy theory, all in order to try and score "points" against someone he doesn't like. Meanwhile, what exactly has Kimmel done to bring light to the situation? Has he ever invited any of the survivors on his show? Has he ever questioned his pals the Clintons for their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? You all know the answers to those questions. In this episode, we take a look at Kimmel's latest comments about Jeffrey Epstein and how he attempted to label Aaron Rodgers as a conspiracy theorist for bringing it up. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jimmy Kimmel takes aim at Aaron Rodgers over his comments on Jeffrey Epstein and UFOs | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

How The High End Art Market Is A Dream Come True For People Like Jeffrey Epstein
High-end art is attractive to money launderers because the market is opaque, illiquid by design, and driven by subjective valuations that are easy to manipulate. Buyers can hide beneficial ownership behind shell companies, trusts and intermediaries, buy works in private sales or through friendly galleries (avoiding the transparency of public auctions), and then re-sell or re-collateralize the pieces to convert illicit cash into apparently legitimate wealth. Criminals exploit briefcases of cash, friendly dealers, falsified provenance and inflated invoices to mask the origin of funds; they also use tactics like “wash” trades or reciprocal purchases between related collectors to inflate prices and justify large transfers that look like ordinary art commerce but are actually value-shifting schemes. Because many transactions are routed through offshore vehicles and art advisors who act as gatekeepers, tracing ultimate ownership and the money trail is often slow and difficult for investigators.Beyond simple purchases and sales, art can be used as collateral for loans, leased, or held in freeports and bonded warehouses where paperwork and customs oversight are limited—allowing assets to be moved or monetized while avoiding immediate scrutiny. Regulators and investigators have also documented cases where artworks were used to hide or re-domesticate funds tied to corruption, sanctions evasion, and organized crime: opaque sales are followed by loans or resale that produce clean bank records, or by transfers through jurisdictions with weak AML controls. That combination of subjective pricing, private dealing, offshore structures, and weak reporting obligations has prompted global watchdogs and lawmakers to press for tighter anti-money-laundering rules in the art market.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein And His Relationship To Seth Lloyd (9/22/25)
Seth Lloyd, an MIT professor and quantum computing specialist, came under fire for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after it emerged that he accepted both direct and indirect funding from Epstein—even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Lloyd met with Epstein multiple times, gave him personal tours of MIT’s facilities, and later admitted he had accepted two donations totaling roughly $225,000. Though Lloyd apologized publicly, critics argue that he knowingly legitimized a convicted sex offender by maintaining the connection and benefiting from Epstein’s money. MIT placed him on paid leave in 2020 after an internal report detailed these ties, highlighting yet again how Epstein sought credibility through academia, and how figures like Lloyd gave it to him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome 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 7) (9/22/25)
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.

Sarah Ferguson And The Pathetic Email To Her Supreme Friend Jeffrey Epstein (9/22/25)
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has always been synonymous with scandal, but her letter to Jeffrey Epstein crowned her the Duchess of Disgrace. In it, she didn’t just thank him—she anointed him her “supreme friend,” as though a convicted predator deserved reverence rather than revulsion. This wasn’t naivety; the whole world knew who Epstein was. It was desperation dressed up as loyalty, a duchess groveling at the altar of depravity for money, favors, and relevance. She didn’t stumble into disgrace; she volunteered, turning gratitude into complicity and writing herself permanently into Epstein’s sordid legacy.Her words weren’t a slip, they were a statement—every phrase deliberate, every flourish intentional. And the optics were catastrophic. Instead of salvaging her reputation, Sarah immortalized herself as an apologist for one of history’s most notorious predators. History will not remember her as misunderstood or maligned. It will remember her as the duchess who chose disgrace over decency, the woman who bowed to Epstein and called him supreme. That’s her legacy now: not royalty, not resilience, but permanent ridiculeto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Cell Block 9: Epstein’s Alleged Attack Behind Bars And The Man He Accused Of It (Part 2) (9/22/25)
Jeffrey Epstein claimed that in the early hours of July 23, 2019, his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione—an ex-cop then awaiting trial for multiple murders—tried to kill him. According to corrections officers’ logs, Epstein was found in his cell in a fetal position, barely responsive, with orange fabric tied around his neck. He initially told officers he believed Tartaglione attacked him, alleging threats and pressure to pay up, fear of violence because of his charges, and that Tartaglione had been harassing him. But Epstein later retracted that claim, saying he couldn’t remember exactly what happened.Investigations into the incident have raised doubts about what actually took place. The Metropolitan Correctional Center’s video system either didn’t capture the event or footage was missing. Jail staff and psychologists have considered several possibilities: that Epstein was assaulted, but also that the event could have been a suicide attempt—whether planned, practiced, or accidental—or something else altogether. The lack of clear evidence, conflicting statements from Epstein and Tartaglione, and mislaid video have all contributed to lingering questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The night Jeffrey Epstein claimed his cellmate tried to kill him - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
