Mega Edition: The Great Basin Serial Killer (10/3/25)

Stacey Plaskett, the U.S. Virgin Islands delegate to the U.S. House, has called the civil lawsuit filed against her by six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking scheme “frivolous.” In her motion seeking sanctions against the plaintiffs’ attorney, she described the accusations as “outright untruth, fiction and misrepresentation,” stating the attorney persisted with what she characterized as unfounded claims even after her legal team warned that continuing would trigger a Rule 11 motion.The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2023 and amended twice, alleged that Plaskett and other U.S. Virgin Islands officials helped facilitate Epstein’s trafficking operations, including through tax-break programs, fundraising, and other support.   Plaskett denied all the allegations, and by August 2025 the case against her alone was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Two investigative journalists in Norway reported that they were threatened after publishing stories that examined connections between powerful figures in their country and Jeffrey Epstein. Their reporting focused on financial ties and personal dealings involving well-known public officials, and after their findings were released, the threats escalated through emails, phone calls, and other forms of intimidation. The situation created serious internal concern within their newsroom, leading editors to publicly acknowledge the dangers faced by reporters who challenge influential networks with global reach.The incident became a striking example of the risks that accompany accountability journalism, particularly when investigations touch individuals with resources, status, or connections capable of exerting pressure. Norway, typically regarded as one of the safest places in the world for press freedom, suddenly found itself confronted with the reality that reporters can be targeted simply for exposing uncomfortable truths. While the fallout from the reporting led to resignations and public scrutiny for those involved, the journalists themselves were left to navigate personal safety concerns — a reminder that uncovering the truth often comes with a price.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes transcended politics because the network he built operated far above the petty divides of left versus right. His circle of power drew from every corner of American and international influence — Democrats, Republicans, royalty, intelligence figures, billionaires, bankers, academics, scientists, and media executives. The ties to his operation spanned presidential administrations, global finance, elite philanthropy, celebrity culture, and the modeling world. Epstein wasn’t loyal to any ideology; he was loyal to leverage. His world functioned on access, compromise, and mutual protection, using connections and shared secrets as currency. That’s why so many powerful people were comfortable around him even after his 2008 conviction — because they believed they were insulated by the same system that protected him.The aftermath of Epstein’s downfall proved even more clearly that his crimes superseded partisan identity. Every institution that should have enforced accountability — prosecutors, the intelligence community, federal agencies, the press, and political leadership — failed in ways that appeared coordinated rather than accidental. His death in federal custody united the country in one rare moment of agreement: nobody believed the official story. The rage and distrust cut across traditional political lines because Epstein exposed a truth Americans already sensed — the powerful protect their own, and when the stakes are high enough, the system will bend reality to shield them. His case wasn’t a left or right scandal; it was a ruling-class scandal, a blueprint for how the elite operate above consequences and expect the public to swallow the lie.to contact me:  bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In earlier reporting, much of the media framed the Jeffrey Epstein case largely as fuel for conspiracy theorists. The narrative around his death, the secretive networks, and the alleged “client list” often got labeled as fringe speculation, with the focus on odd memes and internet chatter rather than systemic investigation. The lack of transparency — the sealed records, the unanswered questions about his connections and how he died — created an environment where speculation thrived, and the mainstream coverage treated it as detached from serious journalism.More recently though, the tone has shifted. The piece acknowledges that what was once mostly dismissed as conspiracy talk is now being seen by some outlets as, at minimum, a reflection of genuine institutional failures — gaps in oversight, accountability and transparency that allowed the story to be mishandled or ignored. The reinterpretation means the media is slowly moving from “crazy fringe theory” toward “legitimate unanswered questions,” recognizing that the earlier dismissal may have been premature and that the conditions that spawned those theories often stemmed from real structural problems.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A persistent misconception continues to circulate around the Epstein case: the belief that survivors have never identified individuals involved. In reality, numerous names have already been publicly stated in sworn testimony, court filings, and interviews. Among those named are former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, former Senate majority leader George Mitchell, financier Glenn Dubin, scientist Marvin Minsky, billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner, investor Leon Black, Hyatt executive Thomas Pritzker, and Prince Andrew. These are not obscure figures; they are individuals of immense political and financial influence. Yet the public response has largely been silence, shaped by partisan distractions and misinformation that shifted attention away from real testimony in favor of viral conspiracy narratives. The issue is not that names have not been provided — it is that society has not acted on them.Survivors face intense pressure and legal intimidation when they come forward, including the threat of financially ruinous lawsuits from powerful defendants with vast legal resources, which has historically deterred additional testimony. This environment of fear has shielded the accused for decades, enabling them to operate without accountability. Many advocates and journalists have become increasingly vocal in rejecting that silence and calling for immediate action — demanding investigations, subpoenas, and legal consequences for the names already publicly identified. The question should no longer be, “Why aren’t survivors naming names?” but rather, “Why are the named individuals not being investigated?” Until there is movement on the existing record, continued calls for additional names serve only as a distraction from the urgent need for accountability.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’s story has long been framed as a failure of the Department of Justice, but the emerging picture suggests something far larger, deeper, and more strategically protected than bureaucratic incompetence. While the DOJ files may eventually expose mid-level accomplices and enablers—from recruiters to financial fixers—those records are widely seen as the leftovers, not the main course. The patterns surrounding Epstein’s rise, protection, wealth, connections, plea deals, and death point toward a man operating not as an independent criminal, but as an intelligence asset whose true handlers operated far above prosecutors and judges. The extraordinary legal shielding he enjoyed for decades, the global scope of his operation, and the immediate clampdown on information following his arrest and death align more with a covert intelligence compromise operation than with the actions of a rogue financier.Increasingly, investigators and observers argue that the CIA, not the DOJ, holds the real archive—tapes, testimonies, leverage files, operational memos, and the materials that could explain how a former prep-school math teacher became the center of a multinational blackmail network involving presidents, billionaires, royalty, and corporate and scientific elites. The stakes are not embarrassment, but system collapse: public acknowledgment that Epstein was a U.S.-built intelligence tool used to manufacture leverage over global power figures would undermine the myth of democratic control and reveal the extent of unelected power inside American governance. The pressure to release DOJ documents is important, but the real battlefield is Langley, where the answers to the central question—who built Jeffrey Epstein, and why—remain sealed behind national-security justifications. Until that vault opens, the truth remains incomplete, and accountability remains impossible.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Stacey Plaskett was just saved from censure by Republicans — the same Republicans who have spent weeks pounding the podium about protecting children and holding Epstein-connected figures accountable. They backed off not out of principle, but to shield their own colleague Cory Mills, who is facing ethics violations of his own. It was a stunning collapse of supposed moral courage, with lawmakers folding like cheap lawn chairs when it came time to actually act. The GOP proved that all of their righteous fury was nothing more than stage lighting and sound effects. If they won’t even take action against someone they call an enemy, the idea that they would ever go after their own donors or allies is laughable. Every Democrat who voted against censure is just as complicit, exposing the hypocrisy of claiming moral high ground while protecting one of their own. Both parties showed their hand: preserving power matters more than accountability or truth.Stacey Plaskett shouldn’t just have been censured — she should be stripped of committees, cut off from party backing, and pressured to resign. Her actions and alliances are indefensible, and protecting her destroys any credibility either party claims to have in the fight for transparency and justice in the Epstein case. If Democrats want to be taken seriously in demanding full disclosure and real consequences for everyone tied to Epstein’s network, they must abandon the practice of shielding “favorites” and clean their own house first. You cannot scream about Trump while ignoring Plaskett. You cannot claim to defend victims while protecting someone who served as an institutional shield for a predator’s ecosystem. Until both parties stop rolling in the mud, neither can pretend to stand on higher ground. This isn’t going away. Accountability starts now — not when it’s convenient.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
