Gone But Not Forgotten: The Murder Of Laken Riley

Jeffrey Epstein’s early financial career is cloaked in mystery, with only fragments of fact piercing through layers of rumor and myth. After leaving Bear Stearns in 1981, he founded Intercontinental Assets Group Inc., a consulting firm where he claimed to “recover stolen money for wealthy clients.” What exactly that meant was never made clear, but the business quickly drew speculation that Epstein was dealing in murky worlds where stolen wealth, corrupt regimes, and shady operators overlapped. In a 2025 DOJ interview, Ghislaine Maxwell went further, alleging that Epstein built his fortune partly by working with or for African warlords in the 1980s. She claimed he once even showed her a photo of himself with such figures, suggesting his reach extended into circles where violence and illicit wealth were the currency.What is confirmed, however, is that Epstein was already operating in shadowy financial arenas, including his lucrative role as a consultant for Steven Hoffenberg’s Towers Financial Corporation, a Ponzi scheme where Epstein earned $25,000 a month and received a $2 million loan. The warlord connection remains unproven but symbolically aligns with the trajectory of a man who, from the start, was willing to skirt moral boundaries, exploit opaque systems, and surround himself with power—whether in Wall Street boardrooms or, allegedly, among those who carved fortunes out of bloodshed in Africa.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Records show Jeffrey Epstein’s requests for multiple passports, travels to Africa and Middle East - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The 2007 NPA granted Epstein immunity from federal prosecution, explicitly including “any potential co-conspirators.” However, courts have ruled that this immunity only applied within the jurisdiction of the Southern District of Florida, which negotiated the deal. The Second Circuit Court held that the agreement did not bind other U.S. Attorney’s Offices, such as the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where Ghislaine Maxwell was later tried—and upheld her prosecution despite the NPA’s language. This is because prosecutors in different districts are not automatically constrained by deals made in Florida.Prosecutors themselves have highlighted the absurdity of a scenario where Epstein could potentially still face prosecution in another district, while his co-conspirators remain untouchable nationwide. In a Supreme Court filing, the Justice Department stressed how logically inconsistent—and legally bizarre—it would be if a defendant could be pursued in District A, but their collaborators remain immune everywhere else due to an out-of-state agreement. The broader principle endorsed by courts is that NPAs do not grant blanket immunity beyond their originating district.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/sdny-rejects-absurd-notion-that-jeffrey-epsteins-non-prosecution-agreement-still-protects-ghislaine-maxwell/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The infamous Prince Andrew BBC Newsnight interview—widely seen as a catastrophic PR disaster—came about through months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering. Emily Maitlis and producer Sam McAlister had been pursuing Andrew’s team for an interview for years, sensing that his ties to Jeffrey Epstein would eventually demand answers. McAlister, known for her persistence, managed to gain the trust of Buckingham Palace courtiers and convinced them that a sit-down would provide Andrew with the chance to clear his name and demonstrate transparency. The Prince and his advisors, astonishingly confident in his ability to explain away damning allegations, ultimately agreed, believing this would be the definitive rebuttal to growing scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein and Virginia Giuffre.What followed, of course, was the exact opposite: a masterclass in self-destruction. Andrew infamously claimed he couldn’t sweat, insisted a Pizza Express outing proved his innocence, and showed more sympathy for Epstein than for survivors. The decision to grant the interview—conceived as a reputational rescue mission—was the result of staggering arrogance and tone-deafness within the royal circle. Palace aides, who expected a controlled narrative, failed to recognize that Andrew’s own words would expose him as evasive, entitled, and profoundly out of touch. Far from salvaging his image, the interview sealed his disgrace, forcing him to withdraw from royal duties and leaving the monarchy scrambling to contain the fallout.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10974711/New-excruciating-details-Andrews-car-crash-Newsnight-interview-revealed.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The U.S. Virgin Islands’ Memorandum in Support of Excluding Expert Testimony from JP Morgan was a direct strike at the bank’s legal strategy of hiding behind highly paid specialists to sanitize its conduct. The filing argued that JP Morgan’s proposed experts weren’t there to provide neutral, technical insight—they were being deployed to confuse the jury, shift blame, and whitewash the bank’s longstanding financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The USVI pointed out that these experts attempted to dress up common sense issues—like due diligence, suspicious transactions, and regulatory compliance—as matters of complex banking science, when in reality the facts spoke plainly: the bank continued to profit off Epstein long after his 2008 conviction and obvious red flags. In essence, the memorandum framed JP Morgan’s “experts” as mouthpieces meant to cloud responsibility, not clarify it.By moving to bar this testimony, the USVI was making a broader argument about accountability. If JP Morgan was allowed to weaponize expert witnesses to downplay its failures, the survivors’ pursuit of justice would be buried under jargon and pseudo-objectivity. The memorandum emphasized that letting these experts testify would not only mislead the jury but also distort the purpose of the trial, turning it into a battle of résumés rather than a reckoning with the bank’s choices. The USVI’s position was clear: the facts don’t need interpretation from consultants paid millions to protect a financial giant—they need to be weighed on their own merits. This was an attempt to strip away the camouflage JP Morgan hoped to use, forcing the court to confront the bank’s role in sustaining Epstein’s trafficking operation without distraction or distortion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.591653.289.0_2.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
