The Man in Jeffrey Epstein's Cockpit: Larry Visoski’s 2009 Deposition (Part 4) (10/10/25)

​In a lawsuit filed in November 2023, six anonymous plaintiffs, referred to as Jane Does 1–6, initiated a class action against the Government of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) and several current and former USVI officials. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants facilitated and participated in Jeffrey Epstein's extensive sex-trafficking operation by providing him with the necessary infrastructure and protection to conduct his illegal activities within the territory. The complaint accused the USVI government and its officials of negligence and violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), asserting that they actively conspired with Epstein to perpetuate his sex-trafficking scheme for their own gain.In this episode, we are taking a look at that complaint.  to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.610915.6.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Alex Acosta is frequently singled out as the architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA), but mounting evidence suggests that he was more of a functionary than a decision-maker. As the U.S. Attorney in South Florida, Acosta did sign off on the sweetheart deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution and serve minimal time in a county jail. However, emails and DOJ records show that once Epstein’s legal team escalated their complaints, the matter was kicked up the chain of command to Washington. Acosta even reportedly told the Miami Herald that he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and that backing off was not a choice, further muddying the narrative that he acted independently. The DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility later criticized Acosta’s judgment but stopped short of alleging misconduct.The real power players behind the Epstein NPA appear to have been then–Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip. When Epstein’s lawyers petitioned to have the case reviewed, DOJ officials in D.C.—including those in the Criminal Division and the Deputy Attorney General’s office—were briefed and ultimately approved the non-prosecution path. In other words, the final green light came from the top of the Justice Department, not Acosta’s office alone. This recontextualizes the NPA as less a rogue local failure and more a coordinated decision at the highest levels of federal power. The narrative that Acosta alone bears the weight of the Epstein scandal not only oversimplifies the truth—it protects the very people who had the authority to stop it and didn’t.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2021/02/04/top-doj-officials-okd-epstein-deal-maxwell-lawyers/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s nephew, Alexander Djerassi, landed a prominent role at the U.S. State Department during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State—serving as chief of staff in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, despite being in his mid-twenties with limited foreign policy experience. While establishment media rushed to frame the hiring as merit-based, citing his Ivy League background and campaign work, the optics are damning. This wasn’t just any entry-level staffer; Djerassi was put in a powerful position overseeing sensitive Middle East matters at the very same time his aunt—deeply embedded in the Epstein trafficking machine—was under growing scrutiny.The more troubling angle is how quickly the story was dismissed by major outlets, with most brushing it off as a coincidence or irrelevant family trivia. But Djerassi’s placement fits into a broader pattern of Epstein-world figures having shockingly easy access to elite institutions, even after the 2008 conviction that should have made Epstein and his circle political kryptonite. That a close relative of Ghislaine Maxwell could quietly ascend into a strategic federal role while Epstein was still leveraging his network speaks to how deep the rot may go—and how few in power were willing to ask uncomfortable questions when it counted. At best, it’s a case of elite nepotism in motion. At worst, it’s another example of how the Epstein ecosystem quietly seeped into the corridors of American power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thedailybeast.com/hillary-clinton-gave-state-department-job-to-epstein-madam-ghislaine-maxwells-nephew-says-reportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black, the former cofounder of Apollo Global Management with deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, has donated significant sums to the IPI—reportedly at least $950,000—in a pattern that closely mirrors Epstein’s own shadowy funding of the institute. Even though Black has attempted to distance himself publicly, the conduit appears to have been deliberately opaque: donations through intermediaries, anonymity, and minimal disclosure have raised flags among those investigating Epstein’s network. These contributions come under scrutiny not only because Epstein was involved in brokering them but also because the donations were structured to conceal the true source and avoid public recognition.Meanwhile, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden has escalated concerns by requesting documents from the DOJ, Treasury, and FBI about Black’s financing of Epstein’s operations. Wyden’s investigation revealed that Black transferred at least $170 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017—far exceeding the $158 million previously acknowledged—and that some of those funds directly supported Epstein’s operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 2023, Black settled claims with the USVI by paying $62.5 million—a case that stated some of his payments were used to fund Epstein's illicit activities on Little St. James Island. Critics argue that the use of IPI and other charitable vehicles to mask these funds reflects a deliberate effort to launder legitimacy onto Epstein’s network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dn.no/politikk/the-international-peace-institute/jeffrey-epstein/terje-rod-larsen/leon-black-did-like-his-adviser-jeffrey-epstein-gave-anonymously-to-un-affiliated-think-tank/2-1-897114Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to overturn her sex trafficking conviction on September 17, 2024. The court upheld the 20-year sentence and dismissed Maxwell's main argument that she should have been protected by a 2008 non-prosecution agreement made between Jeffrey Epstein and Florida prosecutors. The court made it clear that this agreement didn't apply to her case in New York.Maxwell also challenged the trial’s fairness, claiming a juror's failure to disclose his own history of sexual abuse biased the outcome. The court didn't buy that either, stating that the omission wasn’t deliberate and had no bearing on the trial's integrity.Ultimately, the court concluded that Maxwell played a pivotal role in facilitating Epstein's predatory behavior, and the sentence reflects the gravity of her crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein deal didn't save Ghislaine Maxwell: Court (lawandcrime.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Maritza Vazquez, who worked as a bookkeeper for MC2 Model Management, provided critical testimony placing Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein at the center of a carefully managed system of underage recruitment and abuse. In her deposition, she identified Brunel as a regular passenger on Epstein’s private jet and noted that Epstein often traveled with girls recruited through MC2—some as young as 14. Vazquez testified that flight logs deliberately omitted the names of some female passengers, suggesting efforts to conceal underage trafficking. She recounted Brunel’s active role in sourcing vulnerable girls from abroad and introducing them into Epstein’s orbit, effectively operating as a global trafficking coordinator.Vazquez further corroborated that Epstein frequently displayed controlling behavior: he referred to Brunel’s recruits as inventory rather than people, casually discussing having “slept with over a thousand of Brunel’s girls,” according to court documents. Her detailed bookkeeping records and firsthand accounts of scheduling, money flow, and logistics provided prosecutors with evidence of a pipeline feeding Epstein’s sex ring. The deposition exposed how MC2 transactions and Brunel’s agency served as the administrative and logistical backbone for Epstein’s exploitation operation.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Maritza Vasquez Deposition - Discussing Jeffrey Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, Donald Trump | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
