How People Like Jeffrey Epstein Stash Their Money In The High End Real Estate Market
“Dark money” — meaning funds whose sources are hidden or obscured — has become deeply embedded in the U.S. real estate market through opaque ownership structures and all-cash deals that evade public scrutiny. Wealthy buyers, including foreign investors, often purchase property via shell companies, trusts, or limited liability corporations (LLCs), effectively masking the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners. In major markets like New York, Miami, and Boston, a significant share of real estate is owned via corporate entities, making it difficult for regulators and the public to trace who is behind high-value deals.Because many high-value and all-cash transactions bypass traditional banking and lending scrutiny, they provide an ideal channel for laundering illicit funds or moving capital anonymously. Estimates suggest that as much as 20–30 percent of U.S. residential real estate purchases are made without financing, making them harder to monitor. Until recently, real estate professionals had little obligation to report beneficial ownership or cash-based transactions, but new rules from the Treasury’s FinCEN will mandate reporting for residential all-cash sales involving entities or trusts beginning December 2025—an attempt to pull back the curtain on dark money in the housing market.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Man in Epstein's Cockpit: Larry Visoski’s 2009 Deposition (Part 7) (10/12/25)
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.

Flying Blind: Larry Visoski and the Art of Not Seeing (10/12/25)
Larry Visoski, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime pilot, remains one of the most quietly scrutinized figures in the broader Epstein network. Having worked for Epstein from 1991 onward, Visoski logged countless flights for the financier, transporting powerful associates and, at times, underage passengers. Yet despite his proximity to Epstein’s inner circle — including being gifted land on Epstein’s Zorro Ranch property — Visoski has not faced criminal charges. During a 2009 deposition, he denied ever witnessing misconduct, maintaining that he “just flew the plane” and was unaware of any illegal activity. His testimony has long drawn skepticism from observers who question whether a man so close to Epstein’s operations could have truly been unaware of what was happening around him.The lack of legal consequences for Visoski highlights the selective accountability surrounding Epstein’s network. While Ghislaine Maxwell and several civil defendants have faced prosecution or lawsuits, others who played supporting logistical roles have largely avoided scrutiny. Visoski’s case underscores the complexity of pursuing criminal liability for individuals who may have enabled Epstein’s movements without direct evidence of participation in his crimes. It also raises a broader question: how far does responsibility extend for those who helped facilitate Epstein’s lifestyle — even if only by staying silent?As we continue to make our way through the deposition of Larry Visoski, it's quite obvious that he know's a lot more than he let on. The question is, why was he allowed to get away with it?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Jennifer Araoz And Her Jeffrey Epstein Nightmare (10/12/25)
Jennifer Araoz alleged that Jeffrey Epstein began grooming her when she was just 14 years old, after one of his female recruiters approached her outside her New York City high school. Araoz claimed the recruiter slowly built trust, inviting her to Epstein’s mansion under the guise of mentorship and financial assistance. Over several visits, Araoz says she was manipulated into giving Epstein massages while wearing only her underwear, and eventually, those encounters escalated into full sexual assaults. She described being paid hundreds of dollars after each incident, reinforcing the transactional and coercive nature of the abuse.By the time she was 15, Araoz alleges that Epstein forcibly raped her during one of those visits. She recalls being paralyzed with fear, crying and begging him to stop, while he overpowered her. Afterward, he handed her money and continued to manipulate her into silence, using his power and the threat of isolation to keep her from speaking out. Araoz later dropped out of school due to the emotional toll of the abuse. She eventually filed a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate, his employees, and also named individuals and institutions she believed enabled the abuse by failing to protect her. Her account underscores the deliberate, calculated way Epstein preyed on underage girls—using female recruiters, financial coercion, and institutional neglect to shield himself from consequences for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Jeffrey Epstein accuser: He raped me when I was 15Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Underbelly Of The Modeling Industry (10/12/25)
Jeffrey Epstein’s world bled right into the dark corners of the modeling industry — the kind of places where luxury and depravity blur together under the same chandelier light. He used modeling as both a cover and a recruitment pool, pretending to be a gatekeeper to fame and fashion while exploiting the industry’s obsession with youth, beauty, and access. Agencies, scouts, and so-called “talent finders” were part of this sleazy ecosystem — some complicit, others willfully blind — funneling vulnerable girls into Epstein’s orbit with promises of photoshoots, mentorships, or introductions to elite circles. Behind the high-fashion gloss was a global network of manipulation: fake casting calls, private jets filled with “models,” and connections to legitimate modeling agencies that lent Epstein’s operation an air of credibility. It wasn’t just sex trafficking — it was the corruption of an entire image-based industry where power could be traded for flesh and silence was the unspoken price of admission.What made it all so insidious was how normalized it became. Epstein’s connections to modeling power players like Jean-Luc Brunel, MC2 Model Management, and other agencies gave him a steady supply chain disguised as opportunity. Young women from Eastern Europe, South America, and small-town America were lured in by the same dream — the fantasy of walking Paris runways or being discovered at an upscale resort — only to find themselves trapped in something far darker. Epstein and his associates exploited the same machinery that made supermodels into icons, twisting it into a predatory conveyor belt. The “underbelly” wasn’t a hidden world at all — it was the same glitzy one the public adored, just seen from a different angle: the hotel rooms behind the runway, the cash envelopes, the passports held hostage, and the broken promise that fame could ever be worth that kind of nightmare.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Mega Edition: The Police Report That Led To Jeffrey Epstein's Downfall (Part 13-15) (10/12/25)
In 2005, the Palm Beach Police Department initiated an investigation into financier Jeffrey Epstein after a 14-year-old girl reported being paid for a massage that led to sexual activity at his mansion. The investigation uncovered a pattern where Epstein allegedly used personal assistants to recruit underage girls for "massages," which often escalated to sexual encounters. Evidence included testimonies from victims and witnesses, as well as items found during a search of Epstein's residence, such as hidden cameras and photographs of young girls. Despite the substantial evidence, when the case was presented to a Palm Beach County grand jury in July 2006, it resulted in a single charge of felony solicitation of prostitution.Dissatisfied with the outcome, Police Chief Michael Reiter sought federal assistance, leading to an FBI investigation that identified multiple victims and corroborating details of abuse. However, in 2008, Epstein secured a controversial non-prosecution agreement, pleading guilty to lesser state charges and serving a 13-month jail sentence with work-release privileges. This plea deal has been widely criticized for its leniency and lack of transparency, especially given that prosecutors were aware of allegations involving victims as young as 14 years old,to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Epstein-Docs.pdf (documentcloud.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
