Leon Black And The Baked In Cover Provided By The Internal Report
In the report dated January 22, 2021, Dechert reviewed over 60,000 documents and interviewed more than 20 witnesses to examine Black’s social and business ties to Epstein, including payments, introductions, and services rendered. It concluded that there was no evidence that Black or his affiliates were involved in Epstein’s criminal activities, or that Epstein introduced Black to any under-age woman. The document confirmed that Black engaged Epstein for tax, estate-planning, philanthropic and family-office advice between about 2012 and 2017 — with total payments around $158 million — and that their social relationship dated to the mid-1990s. It found that Black believed Epstein had served his sentence in 2008 and viewed engaging him as not “inappropriate,” though the report notes Black severed ties around fall 2018.The report also flagged red-flags: Epstein advised on a “proprietary” solution for a 2006 Grantor-Retained Annuity Trust (“GRAT”) that reportedly saved Black up to $1 billion+ in estate taxes, and a “step-up basis” transaction that may have saved about $600 million in future tax liability. The investigation found that Epstein’s compensation “far exceeded” what Black paid his other professional advisors, and payments after 2013 were made on an ad-hoc basis without formal service agreements. While the report cleared Black of criminal wrongdoing, it raised significant questions about the nature of Epstein’s advisory role and the scale/value of payments relative to documented services.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The OIG Report Into Ghislaine Maxwell's Former Home In Tallahassee
The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Trump Calls for an Investigation and Opens Pandora’s Box (11/14/25)
President Trump’s recent call for an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — even though driven by his desire to target political enemies — has unexpectedly opened the door to the one thing victims, journalists, and the public have demanded for decades: a full, unfiltered, scorched-earth investigation into the entire Epstein network. Regardless of Trump’s motives, the demand for a comprehensive inquiry is long overdue. The evidence already available is more than sufficient to launch a massive multi-pronged federal RICO case involving human trafficking, financial crimes, money laundering, international transport of minors, conspiracy, bribery, foreign intelligence ties, prosecutorial misconduct, and systemic institutional corruption. If accountability is real, then every person connected — billionaires, politicians, bankers, intelligence agents, celebrities, academics, royals, lawyers, prosecutors, and yes, Donald Trump himself — must be investigated without exception or favoritism. Justice cannot be selective. No more theatrics, no more distraction campaigns, no more redaction games.The only viable pathway forward is the appointment of an independent special investigator with absolute authority — someone outside the political system, immune to pressure, blackmail, influence, or partisan interference. The investigation must include full subpoena power, unrestricted access to financial records, sealed depositions, recovered digital evidence, and sworn testimony from every powerful figure who once believed they were untouchable. Anything less is cosmetic theater. This is no longer about Republican vs. Democrat, or about protecting reputations — it is about whether the United States still possesses the moral backbone and institutional will to pursue truth when it threatens the elite class. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, he should welcome the spotlight. If others do, they should tremble. The time for excuses has expired. Appoint the investigator. Open the vault. And let the truth burn.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Real Hoax? Pretending Ghislaine Maxwell’s Move Was Standard Protocol (11/14/25)
If you’re looking for a hoax, here it is — the real magic trick wasn’t some mythical Epstein “client list,” it was the quiet transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell into a glorified country-club prison where she’s living more comfortably than most law-abiding Americans. The system that pretends to deliver justice for trafficked children somehow decided that a convicted sex-trafficker who helped run one of the most depraved exploitation networks in modern history deserved soft-serve punishment at Club Fed Bryan — a minimum-security campus usually reserved for accountants who cooked the books, not predators who helped destroy hundreds of lives. Instead of razor wire and concrete, Maxwell now enjoys open-air dorm housing, recreational perks, yoga-style programming, and a level of comfort violently inconsistent with the severity of her crimes. If you want to talk about outrage, corruption, or institutional rot, start right there. That’s the hoax — the idea that justice was served.And it gets even more grotesque when you look at the details. Reports of special privileges — separate visitation space, extra commissary access, curated accommodations, even animal-therapy sessions — read like parody compared to what real incarcerated women endure every day in America. Meanwhile, survivors who have fought for decades to be heard watch the woman who helped traffic them stroll around a federal playground like she’s at a wellness retreat. While the public is distracted with manufactured hysteria about a nonexistent Hollywood “list,” the government quietly handed Maxwell the gentlest landing available, proving once again that punishment in this country is tiered: brutal for the poor, cushioned for the powerful, and optional for the well-connected. If the public wants to be furious about something real instead of fairy tales, they don’t need conspiracy theories — they just need to look at how the system protected the monster it claims to have defeated.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Epstein Industrial Narrative Machine: Megyn Kelly Edition (11/14/25)
In recent commentary that sparked widespread backlash, Megyn Kelly questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein should be labeled a pedophile, suggesting that because he allegedly preferred girls around the ages of 15 or 16 rather than much younger children, the term might not technically apply. Her remarks attempted to draw a distinction between categories of sexual exploitation, focusing on definitional nuance rather than the underlying criminal reality that Epstein was convicted of sexually abusing minors and running an international trafficking operation that recruited vulnerable underage girls. Critics argue that this framing risks minimizing the gravity of Epstein’s conduct and diverting attention from the extensive harm inflicted on victims.Kelly’s comments prompted strong public condemnation, including responses from journalists and advocates who said that reducing foreign coercion and trafficking of minors to semantic debate undermines accountability and trivializes the severity of the crimes. Observers noted that the language echoed past attempts by Epstein’s defenders to soften public perception and reframe him as merely inappropriate rather than predatory and violent.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

From Wikileaks Warrior to Epstein Email Evasion: The Art of Steve Bannon’s Hypocrisy (11/14/25)
In an explosive disclosure this week, newly released documents reveal that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a remarkably active role as political and media strategist, notably guiding Steve Bannon—former chief strategist to Donald Trump—on messaging, media appearances and international political optics. The records show that even as Epstein’s reputation crumbled, he was advising Bannon on how to “play” Europe, seize one-on-one meetings with world leaders and shape narrative around Trump and his team. Epstein wrote: “If you are going to play here, you’ll have to spend time, Europe by remote doesn’t work…. there are many leaders of countries we can organize for you to have one on ones.Perhaps more unsettling are the exchanges that suggest Epstein used this role to underpin his own bid for influence and image redemption. Emails show Epstein calling Bannon after forwarding a German media piece calling him “as dangerous as ever,” to which Epstein responded “luv it … we should lay out a strategy plan.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Epstein Files Phase One: The Fraud, the Farce, and the Freakshow (11/14/25)
The so-called phase one release of the Epstein files was nothing more than a pathetic PR puppet show dressed up as transparency. Instead of inviting the only people who actually deserved to be in that room—the survivors—the organizers hand-selected a cast of online clowns and grifters who have about as much understanding of the Epstein case as a houseplant. They paraded around the White House like they won a radio contest, smiling for cameras, posting selfies, and pushing prewritten talking points as if they were uncovering Watergate. It was state-sponsored propaganda masquerading as accountability, an insult delivered with a smile. Survivors were ignored, the press was sidelined, and instead the public was spoon-fed a carefully constructed narrative built for PR optics, not truth.What should have been a moment of brutal honesty and real disclosure was reduced to a circus of Twitter personalities and YouTube hustlers with zero investigative credibility—people who built their brands on culture-war outrage and have never spent a second doing real reporting on Epstein. The entire spectacle reeked of panic management, damage control, and political theater designed to neutralize public pressure and pretend progress was being made without actually releasing anything of substance. It was a grotesque mockery of justice: a stage play designed to distract, deflect, and buy time. If the goal was to treat the public like idiots and spit in the face of survivors, mission accomplished.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mega Edition: Bill Richardson And The Long Epstein Shadow Cast Over New Mexico (11/14/25)
Bill Richardson’s political career in New Mexico has long been shadowed by persistent allegations of corruption that never fully disappeared, even after federal prosecutors declined to bring charges. The most serious accusations centered on a suspected “pay-to-play” network in which state investment contracts and pension-fund deals allegedly flowed to major campaign donors during his tenure as governor. Multiple reports detailed how financial firms that contributed heavily to Richardson’s political committees later secured lucrative placement fees or state investment mandates, raising questions about whether public funds were being used to reward political loyalty rather than financial merit. Additional claims — including accusations that judicial applicants were pressured to donate to Richardson-aligned campaigns — only deepened public suspicion that political access and personal advancement in the state were intertwined in ways that undermined transparency and trust.Because these allegations sit atop an already troubled history of political ethics scandals in New Mexico, watchdog groups and legal observers argue that the entire system demands a comprehensive, independent investigation. The state has endured a long pattern of corruption cases involving high-ranking officials, from state treasurers convicted of extortion and racketeering to judges implicated in political bribery schemes. Against that backdrop, the unresolved questions surrounding Richardson’s tenure — the investment deals, the political fundraising machinery, and the federal probe that forced him to withdraw from a Cabinet nomination — continue to raise legitimate concerns about oversight failures. A full, transparent examination of these issues is not only warranted but necessary if New Mexico hopes to repair public confidence and determine whether political influence distorted the management of taxpayer money.to contact me:bbbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
