Mega Edition: Judge Salas, Jeffrey Epstein And The Tragedy (10/9/25)

During the unsealing of court documents in Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) v. Ghislaine Maxwell, a number of “John Doe” or anonymous names surfaced—people referenced in depositions, emails, flight logs and other records whose identities had been redacted or withheld. Some of these John Does were mentioned as having visited Epstein or Maxwell properties, flown on Epstein’s jet, or otherwise been connected to the network via financial, travel, or social links. Because the documents came out in a defamation suit and related litigation, not all John Does were fully identified or confirmed; many remain placeholders, potential suspects, or persons of interest whose roles and involvements are unclear in public records.These John Does illustrate the depth and reach of Epstein and Maxwell’s circle: even before unsealing, observers suspected powerful, anonymous backers and clients were being shielded behind redactions. The fact that so many names were initially hidden (and still are) underscores how legal agreements, confidentiality orders, and sealed records have long protected the identities of those who may have stood behind Epstein’s operations. The exposure of some of these John Does triggered renewed calls to unseal more documents and to force accountability for those whose names were buried in silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Doug Band, once Bill Clinton’s closest aide and political gatekeeper, worked alongside the former president for nearly two decades. He co-founded the Clinton Global Initiative and later launched the advisory firm Teneo, which connected major corporate clients with powerful political figures. Band was instrumental in managing Clinton’s post-White House image, philanthropy, and network of donors. But over time, he became disillusioned with the Clintons, eventually distancing himself after a falling-out with both Bill and Chelsea. His later comments shed new light on Clinton’s long-denied ties to Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions about how close Clinton’s circle really was to the disgraced financier.In a 2020 Vanity Fair profile, Band claimed that Clinton had indeed visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in January 2003—a claim the former president has repeatedly denied. Band also said Clinton took multiple flights on Epstein’s private jet, which flight logs confirm, though Clinton’s team insists those trips were tied to Clinton Foundation work. Band’s assertions carried weight because of his insider access, but they also came years after his break from the Clintons, leading some to question whether personal bitterness played a role. Still, the details he shared reignited scrutiny of Clinton’s Epstein connections, particularly given that Band himself was part of the inner machinery that once managed both men’s overlapping worlds of power, money, and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Steve Hoffenberg, who was once Jeffrey Epstein’s business partner at Towers Financial Corporation before serving time for running what was then one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history, repeatedly claimed that Epstein had deep connections to intelligence services. In multiple interviews before his death, Hoffenberg said Epstein told him he had been recruited by British intelligence in the 1980s through contacts such as Douglas Leese and later operated as an “asset” for both U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies. Hoffenberg alleged that Epstein bragged about doing financial and political work on behalf of intelligence interests and that this connection explained his extraordinary ability to evade consequences for his crimes over the years. He also suggested Epstein had “traction with” the U.S. Department of Justice and certain intelligence circles, implying those ties protected him from scrutiny.Hoffenberg further claimed Epstein’s financial operations were intertwined with intelligence-linked figures and that he deliberately cultivated high-level connections for blackmail and leverage purposes. According to Hoffenberg, Epstein used his access to the wealthy and powerful as part of an intelligence-adjacent network that gathered compromising material under the guise of social and financial dealings. He maintained that Epstein’s activities—including the control of money and secrets—were part of a broader covert agenda, describing him as “a sociopath who worked with intelligence to manipulate power.” These claims have never been independently verified but have fueled ongoing speculation about Epstein’s unexplained protection and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, bought a luxury chalet in Verbier in 2014 from French socialite Isabelle de Rouvre, using a payment plan that stretched over several years. By December 2019, amid rising legal and financial pressure, they failed to make the final installments. De Rouvre sued them in Swiss court in May 2020 over unpaid sums, interest, and alleged breach of contract.Facing mounting debt, the Duke and Duchess of York eventually reached a settlement with de Rouvre and put the chalet up for sale. In early 2022, Andrew reportedly settled a £6.6 million debt, clearing the way for the property’s sale.to contact me:bobbyacpucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Tova Noel, a former federal prison guard who was on duty when Jeffrey Epstein died in custody, is being sued by a female coworker at her new job in New York. According to the lawsuit, Noel allegedly punched and pulled the coworker’s ear during a confrontation at the medical office where they both work. The complaint claims that the assault occurred in front of other staff and that surveillance cameras were—conveniently—“not functioning” at the time, making it difficult to independently verify what happened.The plaintiff, who had been responsible for training Noel, was apparently terminated after filing the complaint with human resources. The suit seeks damages for alleged emotional distress, harm, and intimidation. Noel remains employed at that location as of the reporting.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s charity, Pitch@Palace, came under investigation after reports surfaced that it made £355,000 in payments to his former private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, following her resignation amid the fallout from his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The payments, which occurred in 2019 and 2020, raised questions about how the charity’s funds were being used and whether they were appropriate under charity law. Regulators at the U.K. Charity Commission launched an inquiry into whether Pitch@Palace and its connected entities had been properly managing finances and acting in the public interest. The investigation came as the Duke of York faced widespread backlash for his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview, where he failed to show remorse for his association with Epstein, prompting many corporate sponsors and backers to sever ties with his charitable ventures.Amanda Thirsk, who was instrumental in managing Prince Andrew’s business and philanthropic activities, left her role following the Newsnight interview but soon reappeared on the payroll through Pitch@Palace Global Ltd — a private company linked to the charity. Critics questioned whether charity money had been diverted to support Andrew’s personal circle amid reputational damage from the Epstein scandal. The Charity Commission stated it was assessing the charity’s operations to ensure compliance with governance rules and transparency standards. The controversy added to growing public and institutional scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s finances and his continued role in public life as his connections to Epstein continued to erode what remained of his royal standing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims’ attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. Represented by Critton & Reinhardt, Visoski repeatedly emphasized that his duties were strictly professional: piloting aircraft, maintaining schedules, and ensuring safe transport. When pressed about the ages of female passengers, he claimed he never knowingly flew minors and denied witnessing any sexual activity or misconduct aboard Epstein’s planes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
