Mega Edition: Epstein, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos And The Billionaires Dinner They Want To Forget (9/20/25)

Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence officer, has long claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was not merely a wealthy predator but an intelligence asset, operating what he describes as a classic honey-trap operation. According to Ben-Menashe, Epstein’s private island, jets, and mansions were not only indulgences but controlled environments designed for surveillance and kompromat collection. The young women Epstein exploited were bait, he argues, and the true currency was secrets—leverage over the powerful figures who entered Epstein’s world. This interpretation reframes Epstein’s unusual legal leniency and elite connections as signs of protection, not just influence or money, suggesting his utility to intelligence agencies made him untouchable for years.Ben-Menashe links Epstein’s story to that of Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, who he has also alleged was a Mossad asset, framing both men as part of a broader tradition of cultivating access to elites for covert purposes. While his claims are controversial and remain unverified, they persist because they provide a framework for understanding the unanswered questions around Epstein: how he gained such reach, why he escaped real consequences for so long, and why his downfall ended with his sudden death. Whether or not one accepts Ben-Menashe’s account, it shifts the focus from Epstein as an isolated criminal to Epstein as a possible cog in a larger intelligence machine.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On September 2, 2025, the Republican-led U.S. House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 pages of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, covering everything from flight logs and police reports to court filings, DOJ memos, and surveillance footage. Among the new material was a long-speculated video segment showing the so-called “missing minute” from the night Epstein died, which displayed nothing more than a normal transition between cameras, countering years of conspiracy talk. The archive also included non-public location logs from Epstein’s flights between 2000 and 2014 and records dating back to his first major investigations in 2005–2006.The release immediately drew criticism, with House Democrats stressing that about 97% of the files had already been public, calling the move more theater than transparency. In parallel, Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) initiated a bipartisan discharge petition to force a House vote that would compel the Justice Department to release all remaining unclassified Epstein files still in federal custody. Their effort aims to widen disclosure beyond this selective release, including FBI and U.S. attorney records that remain sealed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Oversight Committee releases trove of Jeffrey Epstein filesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Congress is holding a private meeting with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein as part of an expanding bipartisan probe into how the Department of Justice handled Epstein’s prosecution. The House Oversight Committee, which has already subpoenaed former officials including Alex Acosta and demanded Epstein-related Suspicious Activity Reports from the Treasury Department, is positioning these survivor meetings as critical to uncovering the full scope of failures and possible cover-ups. Lawmakers want to hear directly from those most affected, not only about Epstein’s crimes but also about how institutions may have ignored or mishandled their pleas for justice.Alongside the closed-door session, several survivors are also expected to appear publicly at a Capitol press conference organized by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This event will push for greater transparency, including the release of sealed files tied to Epstein’s network. Survivors and their advocates argue that without disclosure, accountability remains out of reach, and they warn that any attempt to bury these records would deepen public distrust. The coordinated private testimony and public advocacy signal a renewed, aggressive phase of congressional scrutiny into Epstein’s ties, finances, and protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House lawmakers to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's victims amid probe of 'suspicious' financial transactionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Rex Heuermann’s former classmates have painted a picture of him that underscores why he is considered an outlier in the world of serial killers. Many described him as a socially awkward, odd, or “weird” presence during his youth, yet no one suspected the kind of violent darkness he would later be accused of. Reports from peers in his Massapequa school days often highlighted how he was teased or alienated, sometimes standing out for his size, demeanor, and difficulty fitting in. Unlike the charismatic or manipulative archetype often associated with serial offenders, Heuermann’s younger self was seen more as an outsider who lacked social grace rather than someone capable of calculated predation.What makes these recollections remarkable is how they contrast with his later life. Despite the early impressions of him being peculiar or even unsettling, Heuermann managed to build a respectable adult persona as a professional architect and family man. Many classmates expressed shock that the quiet, odd boy they remembered could have grown into the man accused of such chilling crimes, which highlights his divergence from expectations. Instead of becoming a figure who outwardly unraveled or displayed obvious menace, he embodied a paradox—someone remembered as offbeat in his youth, yet who matured into a socially invisible but allegedly lethal predator. This gap between childhood perceptions and the reality of the accusations adds another layer to his status as an outlier.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Avoided Then, Absent Now, Gilgo Beach Suspect Overshadows School Reunion - The New York Times (nytimes.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Rex Heuermann stands out as an outlier among serial killers because he does not fit many of the usual molds that investigators and profilers use to identify such predators. Unlike many offenders who are transient, socially isolated, or visibly unstable, Heuermann was a successful architect with a long-term marriage, children, and a thriving business in Manhattan. He had deep community roots in Massapequa Park, maintained a steady professional reputation, and gave off the appearance of a conventional suburban family man. His ability to juggle a demanding career while allegedly committing and concealing murders over years makes him atypical, as most serial killers struggle to maintain this level of social and professional stability.Another factor that sets Heuermann apart is the sheer brazenness and longevity of his alleged crimes. The Gilgo Beach killings haunted investigators for more than a decade, with bodies discovered in close proximity, yet Heuermann managed to live undetected in plain sight. Most serial killers eventually draw attention through escalating behavior, arrests for unrelated crimes, or visible breakdowns in their personal lives, but Heuermann avoided those pitfalls for years while maintaining an orderly, outwardly successful existence. This combination of suburban normalcy, professional accomplishment, and alleged hidden brutality places him in rare territory, making him more elusive and confounding than the archetypal serial offender.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Accused Gilgo Beach Suspect An 'Outlier' In Serial Killer Field: Doc | Massapequa, NY PatchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
