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

These four women were explicitly named as "potential co-conspirators" in Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, a deal that allowed him to avoid serious federal charges. Sarah Kellen and Lesley Groff, both former assistants, are accused of coordinating travel and scheduling for underage girls, acting as facilitators in Epstein’s exploitation network. Adriana Ross, a former model, was similarly implicated for arranging “sex sessions,” while Nadia Marcinkova—once described as Epstein’s "live-in sex slave"—is believed to have participated in abuse and appeared frequently on flight logs, flying aboard Epstein's private jets.Though none of the four have been criminally charged, their names remain central to the investigation into Epstein’s trafficking ring. The immunity granted in the plea deal stirred widespread backlash, and prominent attorneys like Gloria Allred have vowed to pursue accountability, insisting the operation could not have functioned without them. Meanwhile, civil lawsuits continue to reference their roles as enablers, intensifying scrutiny and legal pressure on them as the broader net of accountability expands.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/05/14/jeffrey-epstein-investigation-women-487157Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this case before the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, the co-executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, filed a reply brief supporting their expedited motion to vacate liens placed by the Government of the Virgin Islands. The estate and its affiliated entities—including the 1953 Trust, various LLCs, and corporate holdings—are defendants in a civil action seeking damages connected to Epstein’s trafficking network. The government had imposed liens on estate assets, effectively freezing large portions of Epstein’s wealth, to secure potential recovery in its lawsuit.The co-executors argue in their reply brief that the liens are improper and should be lifted immediately, claiming the government has overreached its authority and is unfairly restricting the administration of the estate. They contend that the liens impede their legal responsibilities to manage and distribute assets, and that alternative legal safeguards already exist to protect the government’s claims. The filing stresses urgency, pointing to potential harm caused by the restrictions, and asks the court to expedite relief by vacating the liens.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DisplayFile.aspx (vicourts.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In July 2020, New York state regulators fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for its failure to properly monitor its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, along with other high-risk clients. The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) determined that the bank ignored clear warning signs while maintaining Epstein as a client from 2013 to 2018, years after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Regulators found that Deutsche Bank processed millions in suspicious transactions for Epstein, including payments to women with Eastern European surnames and large cash withdrawals that should have triggered scrutiny. The DFS concluded that the bank chose profit over compliance, prioritizing Epstein’s business despite internal concerns that he posed legal and reputational risks.The fine was the first major enforcement action against a financial institution for its role in facilitating Epstein’s activities. Regulators detailed how Deutsche Bank repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) despite obvious red flags tied to Epstein’s network of shell companies and payments structured to look like consulting or tuition expenses. The settlement required Deutsche Bank to improve oversight and compliance systems, but it also underscored a larger problem: financial institutions were essential enablers of Epstein’s empire, allowing him to move money and maintain access to elite circles even after his conviction. The $150 million penalty was significant in size, yet critics argued it was still a slap on the wrist for a global bank that had enabled Epstein’s financial maneuvering for years.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/07/jeffrey-epstein-case-deutsche-bank-fined-150-million-penalty-for-relationship.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

According to eyewitnesses reported by The Daily Beast, Kathryn Ruemmler—who served as White House Counsel under both the Clinton and Obama administrations—was present at Jeffrey Epstein’s arraignment in July 2019. Observers noted she was seated behind Epstein’s defense team, and characterized her presence as a “professional relationship,” possibly serving as a show of support. Importantly, Epstein’s longtime attorney, Martin Weinberg, clarified that Ruemmler did not represent Epstein, stating with certainty that she had not appeared at any hearing on his behalf.Further press coverage and court filings revealed that even after her White House tenure, Ruemmler had multiple interactions with Epstein. The Wall Street Journal noted Epstein’s schedule included dozens of meetings with her between her White House service and her later work at Goldman Sachs. He had entries for planned meetings in Paris in 2015 and on his private Caribbean island in 2017; Ruemmler denied that those occasions occurred. She also commented in those reports: “I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein.”(commercial at 12:40)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein referred Obama White House counsel to JPMorgan (cnbc.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein had many people who were standing up for his 'character' after his first arrest and they sent glowing letters to the prosecutors and judge. In today's episode, we take a look at some of those letters and some of the people who sent them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7690411/Jeffrey-Epsteins-2007-biography-prosecutors-described-man-principles.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Wall Street Journal’s release of Jeffrey Epstein’s private calendar revealed that, even after his 2008 conviction as a sex offender, he maintained access to prominent figures in politics, finance, and academia. The calendar included scheduled meetings with individuals such as CIA Director William Burns, renowned academic Noam Chomsky, Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler, Bard College President Leon Botstein, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. These entries demonstrated that Epstein, despite his notoriety, was still actively engaging with power players, securing sit-downs that suggested his influence and connections remained intact well after his fall from grace.Responses to the revelations highlighted both defensiveness and distancing. Chomsky confirmed some interactions but dismissed the significance, telling reporters that who he met “is none of your business.” Burns’s camp insisted his meeting with Epstein was merely a brief introduction arranged during his transition out of government and that he had no relationship with him. The broader disclosure underscored the depth of Epstein’s reach and the discomfort it continues to cause for those whose names surfaced on his calendar years after his crimes were well known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Documents, Part 2: Dinners with Lawrence Summers and Movie Screenings With Woody Allen (msn.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
