The Blame Game: Feds vs. Banks in the Epstein Scandal (11/5/25)

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell’s indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell’s actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies’ witnesses reinforced one another’s findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein’s death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell’s arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The letter from Kirkland & Ellis to the Department of Justice raises alarm about what Epstein’s legal team characterizes as an increasingly improper overlap between federal prosecutors and civil litigation against Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys note that since their prior submission, two additional civil lawsuits have been filed, all represented by Bradley Edwards Herman, a former law partner of First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman. They argue that it strains credibility that nearly all alleged victims—some no longer even residing in Florida—somehow retained the same small Miami law firm, particularly when those plaintiffs all appear on the government’s confidential list of alleged victims. The letter emphasizes that the U.S. Attorney’s Office had explicitly assured Epstein’s counsel that this list would remain confidential, raising serious concerns about leaks or improper coordination.Beyond the appearance of a conflict of interest, the letter frames this pattern as evidence of inappropriate federal involvement in civil cases that should be independent of the criminal investigation. Epstein’s lawyers suggest that the government’s actions—or failures to prevent information sharing—are contributing to a coordinated legal assault that undermines fairness and due process. They stop short of making a direct accusation but clearly signal that the integrity of the prosecution is at risk if DOJ leadership does not intervene. The letter is essentially a warning shot to Main Justice, urging scrutiny of the Miami U.S. Attorney’s Office before the situation escalates into a broader ethical or legal scandal.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:403-07.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
