Disgrace, Denial, and Delusion: The Three Estates of Prince Andrew (10/27/25)
Prince Andrew’s latest demand has drawn widespread ridicule after reports revealed that he’s only willing to move out of the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor if he and Sarah Ferguson are each given separate replacement homes. The disgraced Duke is reportedly pushing for Frogmore Cottage—the former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—for himself, and Adelaide Cottage—currently used by Prince William and Princess Catherine—for Ferguson. The proposal is being described as an “absurd trade-off,” effectively turning what should have been a downsizing into a double housing upgrade. His insistence comes despite mounting pressure from King Charles III for him to vacate Royal Lodge, where he remains under a 75-year lease paying what has been described as a “peppercorn rent.”The demand highlights the tone-deaf entitlement that continues to define Andrew’s post-scandal life. Rather than accept a single, smaller residence, he’s attempting to leverage his position for even more royal property—despite being stripped of public duties and embroiled in reputational disaster over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Critics have blasted the move as a shameless attempt to cling to privilege and status while ignoring public outrage. The optics are particularly bad given the ongoing financial scrutiny of the royal family and the contrasting humility shown by other royals. Andrew’s refusal to simply move out underscores how detached he remains from reality—a prince still playing power games in exile from relevance.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew will only give up his royal residence if one massive demand is metBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Peppercorn Rent and Public Rage: Parliament Takes Aim at Prince Andrew (10/27/25)
In recent days, MPs in the UK Parliament have ramped up pressure on Prince Andrew over his long-standing residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park and the lease arrangements tied to it. The estate, part of the Crown’s property holdings, was leased by Andrew in 2003 for 75 years in return for a £1 million payment and he paid for around £7.5 million in refurbishments, but has reportedly paid only a symbolic “peppercorn” annual rent for more than two decades. Critics argue the arrangement lacks transparency and raises questions about taxpayer interests and the Crown estate’s oversight. At the same time, Andrew’s ties to his disgraced former friend Jeffrey Epstein and fresh allegations by Virginia Giuffre in her posthumous memoir have intensified calls for accountability and for Parliament to weigh in.In response, several parties in Parliament are exploring unprecedented steps: the possibility of a full House of Commons debate on Andrew’s conduct, and even legislation to permanently strip his titles. Although he has announced that he will cease using his title of Duke of York following discussions with King Charles III, only an Act of Parliament can formally remove it. The government so far has been reluctant to schedule a debate, arguing the Royal Family wishes Parliament to focus on other “important issues,” but opposition parties like the Liberal Democrats are preparing to use opposition-day debates to force scrutiny. Many MPs say the moment demands full transparency and that Andrew (and the Crown estate) should give evidence under oath.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew may face humiliating public rebuke in Parliament as MPs seek opportunity to question his lifestyle and rent-free occupation of state-owned mansion | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts Chapter 11 Part 2) (10/27/25)
Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Who Has Been Named As An Alleged Abuser By Virginia Roberts? (10/27/25)
Over the years, Virginia Giuffre has identified several powerful men she says sexually abused her while she was being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Among those she directly accused are Prince Andrew, Duke of York—whom she says raped her on multiple occasions when she was 17—and French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who was later found dead in his Paris jail cell. She also accused billionaire Glenn Dubin and others in Epstein’s social network of participating in or enabling her abuse. Giuffre’s accounts, supported by contemporaneous evidence and court filings, paint a picture of a vast, well-connected trafficking network that preyed on young girls under the guise of privilege, access, and power.In her memoir Nobody’s Girl, released posthumously, Giuffre adds that there were more men involved—some of them world leaders and financiers—but she withheld their names out of fear of retaliation and financial ruin. The book references one of her abusers only as a “well-known Prime Minister,” describing an attack that left her bloodied and unconscious. Her ghostwriter has said she knows all the names in Epstein’s files, reigniting public interest in how many of these figures have never been held accountable despite the mounting evidence and sworn testimony.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And Her Claims Of A Plot Hatched Against Her By Other Inmates (10/27/25)
Her legal team has asserted that Maxwell faced a credible threat from other inmates while in federal custody — specifically, they claimed that someone was plotting to murder her in her sleep for cash and infamy. According to media reports, the threat was described in filings ahead of her sentencing, where her lawyers argued these dangers as part of a mitigation case.Separately, Maxwell has also raised concerns about her physical condition behind bars: her lawyers allege she lost more than 15 pounds and experienced noticeable hair loss, attributing this to “extraordinarily onerous conditions” including extensive searches, frequent awakenings, and punitive detention practices. Prison officials countered that she remained at a normal weight and in good health.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Learns Her Fate (10/26/25)
In June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after being found guilty of five sex-trafficking counts linked to the operation of Jeffrey Epstein, including transporting minors and conspiring to entice minors for illegal sexual acts. A judge described her conduct as “heinous and predatory,” emphasizing that although Epstein was central to the scheme, Maxwell was being punished for her own active role in recruiting, grooming, and facilitating abuse of girls as young as 14.Since the sentencing, Maxwell has appealed her conviction and sought to challenge the prosecution on several grounds—including whether a 2008 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein shielded her—but the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal in October 2025, meaning her conviction and 20-year sentence remain intact unless altered through clemency.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black's Apollo Global And The Pursuit Of Twitter
In April 2022, when Elon Musk made his $43–44 billion bid to buy Twitter, Apollo Global Management quickly surfaced as one of the major Wall Street firms exploring involvement. Reports from the Wall Street Journal and Sports Business Journal indicated that Apollo, which owned Yahoo and AOL through its portfolio, was considering helping finance Musk’s bid through preferred equity or debt financing. The firm was also exploring options to roll its existing digital assets—like Yahoo’s advertising infrastructure—into a broader partnership with Twitter after acquisition. The discussions positioned Apollo as one of the most significant institutional players potentially backing Musk, underscoring its appetite for high-profile tech and media investments.By October 2022, however, Reuters and PYMNTS confirmed that Apollo, along with Sixth Street Partners, had dropped out of negotiations. Sources familiar with the talks said the firms were “no longer in discussions” to participate in the financing package, citing uncertainties over Musk’s shifting deal terms and the platform’s long-term revenue trajectory. The withdrawal highlighted Apollo’s risk-management approach—balancing bold investment ambition with caution toward volatile technology assets. In the end, Musk closed the acquisition without Apollo’s participation, and the firm publicly moved on to other digital-media ventures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
