Mega Edition: Les Wexner And His Reign At The Top (10/12/25)

The long-term impact of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse on survivors has been profound, stretching far beyond the immediate trauma of exploitation. Many have spoken about enduring struggles with trust, intimacy, and mental health, with conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety becoming lifelong challenges. The abuse often took place during formative years, leaving deep psychological scars that shaped how survivors viewed themselves and the world around them. For some, the legal battles and constant public discussion of Epstein have compounded the harm, forcing them to relive their experiences repeatedly in a system that often seemed indifferent to their pain.Beyond the psychological toll, survivors have faced lasting social and economic consequences. Some described how the abuse derailed their education or career paths, cutting off opportunities and leaving them with instability that persisted for years. Others experienced stigma or disbelief when they tried to come forward, adding isolation to their trauma. Even after Epstein’s death, the slow pace of accountability and the continued prominence of the powerful figures linked to him have been painful reminders of the imbalance between survivor suffering and institutional protection. In this sense, the legacy of Epstein’s abuse is not confined to the past—it continues to shape lives, serving as a stark reminder of how long-term harm can ripple outward when justice is delayed or denied.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2022/01/04/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-survivors-julie-dahlstrom-rachel-wechslerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2011, court filings from JPMorgan revealed that Jeffrey Epstein—already a registered sex offender—paid a $25,000 tuition bill at Skidmore College for one of Cecile de Jongh’s children, upon her direct request via email subject‑lined “Please approve.” This was no act of charity; this was influence-peddling in plain sight. At the same time, de Jongh was coordinating policy to benefit Epstein, soliciting his input on softening a sex‑offender law to allow him freer movement within the territory. By drawing up legislation that Epstein could personally exploit while cashing in on his largesse, de Jongh blurred the line between public service and private profiteering.Moreover, the tuition payment fits into a broader pattern of de Jongh being Epstein’s political and logistical conduit in the U.S. Virgin Islands. JPMorgan labeled her as his “primary conduit for spreading money and influence” within the territory, citing other ways she facilitated his trafficking network—from arranging visas to crafting cover‑class schemes.^1 The tuition bill is far less an isolated favor and far more an emblem of how Epstein weaponized connections with public officials to shield his abuse. De Jongh’s actions weren’t innocent oversights—they were integral to maintaining a corrupt system of protection and impunity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein had close ties to U.S. Virgin Islands First Family | FortuneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Texas Democrats’ decision to stall redistricting efforts mirrors the same cynical political gamesmanship that has crippled the Epstein investigation for years. Both sides of the aisle claim moral high ground yet resort to procedural stunts and manipulations when it benefits them, undermining credibility and eroding trust. Just as the DOJ and Trump administration used delays, sealed records, and narrative control to bury the Epstein case, Democrats now adopt similar obstructionist tactics, proving that justice is not about truth but convenience. Every time politicians treat procedure as a weapon, the focus shifts from exposing Epstein’s enablers to empty theater, leaving survivors sidelined and the public disillusioned.This cycle of politicization ensured that Epstein remains untouchable. Each stunt feeds apathy, conditioning the public to expect no real accountability while predators and their protectors breathe easier. By embracing the same culture of obstruction they once condemned, Democrats have destroyed their moral high ground, handed Republicans a defense, and confirmed that neither party truly seeks justice. In the end, Epstein’s secrets stay buried, survivors remain without answers, and the political class shows once again that its loyalty lies not with truth, but with power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The congressional hearings surrounding Jeffrey Epstein are less about justice and more about optics. Behind the staged outrage, secret depositions, and selective leaks lies a carefully managed narrative meant to pacify the public while protecting the powerful. Key figures tied to the original Non-Prosecution Agreement—Acosta, Mukasey, Filip, Menschel, Villafaña—have never been subpoenaed, a glaring omission that reveals the process is not about uncovering truth but about burying it. Rather than transparency, we are handed redactions, secrecy, and closed-door questioning that serve only to shield institutions complicit in Epstein’s protection.What the public is witnessing is a modern-day bread and circus. Instead of gladiators, we are given congressional theatrics designed to create the illusion of accountability while ensuring nothing of substance changes. Survivors remain sidelined, critical testimony is hidden, and the system that enabled Epstein continues untouched. The hearings are not a path to justice but a spectacle of distraction, meant to drain outrage, exhaust demands for truth, and keep the machinery of power intact. Until the curtain of secrecy is torn down, accountability will remain an illusion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Senator Ron Wyden has sharply criticized the IRS for failing to audit or investigate the massive payments—estimated at at least $158 million, and possibly up to $170 million—made by private equity billionaire Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2017. Wyden questioned how Epstein, who had no formal credentials in tax or accounting, could receive such high sums—exceeding compensation paid to other top advisors—without raising any red flags, and pointed out that much of this was paid “ad hoc” without written contracts. He urged the IRS to explain why these seemingly suspicious tax‑planning transactions were never subject to scrutiny despite their scale and Epstein’s criminal historyAdditionally, Wyden revealed that his office accessed a trove of financial records indicating approximately 4,725 wire transfers amounting to over $1 billion linked to Epstein, including interactions with Russian banks connected to sex trafficking. He accused the Treasury Department of withholding these critical Suspicious Activity Reports from oversight and insisted that the lack of broader prosecutions or investigations suggests a cover‑up. Wyden accused federal agencies of “sleepwalking” through evidence that might have exposed Epstein’s alleged façade of financial expertise and facilitated accountability for those who funded his operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator Seeks Investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Work for Leon BlackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein was a man who got around New York city and it didn't matter what political party you belonged to. All that mattered to him was that you were willing to play ball. Unfortunately for the rest of us, there were plenty of people who were willing to sell their soul to increase their power or status, even if that meant ignoring what and who Jeffrey Epstein was. Afterall, the only sin in that world is the sin of being poor. In this episode we dive into the new article from The Wall Street journal about two of the top bundlers for the Trump campaign in 2016 and their connection to Jeffrey Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapuci@protonmail.comsource:How Jeffrey Epstein Tried to Tap Into Trump’s Circle - WSJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In October 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a combined memorandum opposing Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s request to extend the deposition deadline and, separately, moved for sanctions under Federal Rule 45. Maxwell argued that Giuffre served subpoenas in ways that directly violated Rule 45(a)(4), which requires timely pre-notice to all parties before serving a non‑party subpoena for documents. Specifically, Maxwell noted that Giuffre attempted to subpoena witnesses—such as Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcincova—without providing proper advance notice to the defense, including issuing subpoenas before notifying Maxwell’s counselMaxwell framed this as part of a broader pattern of bad‑faith discovery tactics: she emphasized that Giuffre squandered the discovery period, failed to diligently schedule depositions, and attempted to secure depositions well past the court‑ordered cutoff without showing good cause. In support, she detailed her own efforts to coordinate schedules and comply with rules, contrasted with Giuffre’s “last‑minute scramble,” and urged the court to reject the extension of deadlines and impose sanctions under Rule 45 and Rule 37 for the procedural violationsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1137.19.pdf (free.law)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
