episode Mega Edition: Marc Rowan And Leon Black Outmaneuver Josh Harris To Keep Control At Apollo (7/1/26) cover

Beskrivelse

Josh Harris saw the Epstein revelations around Leon Black as an opening to reshape Apollo’s leadership and, according to reporting and later court allegations, pushed to position himself as the natural successor or power center inside the firm. Black’s Epstein relationship had thrown Apollo into crisis, investors were demanding answers, and the firm needed a clean leadership story. Harris had long been one of Apollo’s three founding figures, but his relationship with Black had deteriorated, and Black later accused him of organizing a behind-the-scenes campaign — even a so-called “war council” of advisers, lawyers, publicists, and allies — to weaken Black and seize control as Epstein scrutiny consumed him. Harris denied those accusations, calling them false, and courts later dismissed Black’s RICO claims against him. Harris did not get the prize. Instead, Marc Rowan emerged as the compromise successor and ultimately took over as Apollo’s CEO, while Black’s influence and board support helped block Harris from becoming the dominant figure. The result was a bitter private-equity civil war: Black was forced out by the Epstein fallout, Harris failed to convert the moment into control of Apollo, and Rowan became the beneficiary of the chaos. Harris later stepped away from day-to-day Apollo leadership and eventually focused more on his outside business and sports ownership interests, while Apollo tried to sell Rowan’s rise as a clean reset after the Epstein damage. The irony is brutal: Epstein’s relationship with Black created the opening Harris wanted, but the internal power structure Harris helped build at Apollo ultimately closed around Rowan instead. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

episode Modeling Agent’s Disturbing Outreach to Jeffrey Epstein cover

Modeling Agent’s Disturbing Outreach to Jeffrey Epstein

The communications in question center on a modeling agent who maintained a long-running relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, during which he repeatedly attempted to introduce young women to him under the guise of modeling opportunities. The exchanges span years and show the agent pitching women based on their looks, age, and financial vulnerability, often framing the introductions as mutually beneficial arrangements. In one especially disturbing message, the agent explicitly encouraged Epstein to “try” a woman sexually, reducing the interaction to a transactional proposition. The tone of the correspondence suggests a level of familiarity with Epstein’s preferences and a willingness to cater to them, even after Epstein’s prior legal troubles were already public knowledge. Beyond the individual messages, the broader implication is the role that parts of the modeling world may have played in feeding Epstein access to young women. The emails reflect a system where aspiring models—many seeking financial stability or career opportunities—were positioned in proximity to a powerful and predatory figure. While the agent has since attempted to distance himself and downplay his intent, the language and persistence captured in the exchanges have fueled criticism that enablers within the industry either ignored warning signs or actively facilitated Epstein’s behavior. The revelations add another layer to the ongoing examination of how Epstein’s network operated and how he continued to maintain access to vulnerable women despite widespread rumors and prior convictions. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Modelling agent told Epstein about girl 'desperate for cash' as he begged paedo to 'try her in bed', emails show [https://www.the-sun.com/news/16149108/modelling-agent-begged-epstein-try-model-in-bed/]

episode Andrew Declined to Cooperate With FBI Probe While UK Government Feared Legal Fallout cover

Andrew Declined to Cooperate With FBI Probe While UK Government Feared Legal Fallout

Prince Andrew repeatedly declined to cooperate with U.S. investigators seeking to question him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, despite earlier public statements suggesting he was willing to assist. Instead of agreeing to an in-person interview, he limited his cooperation to a written statement, which investigators viewed as insufficient given the seriousness of the inquiry. Multiple efforts were made to secure his testimony, but each attempt was met with resistance, forcing authorities to explore formal legal avenues to compel his participation. The situation became even more contentious as concerns emerged within the UK government about how to handle the request. Rather than pushing aggressively to facilitate cooperation, officials appeared cautious, wary of potential legal challenges and the political fallout of forcing a senior royal into testimony. That hesitation effectively stalled the process, leaving investigators without direct access to a key figure and reinforcing the perception that institutional protection played a role in shielding Andrew from deeper scrutiny. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Andrew turning down FBI's Epstein interview requests sparked govt fears he would sue if he was questioned, new docs show [https://www.thesun.ie/royals/16845728/andrew-snubbed-fbi-epstein-probe-sparking-govt-fears/]

episode Bill Gates, Epstein, and the Fallout Inside the Gates Foundation cover

Bill Gates, Epstein, and the Fallout Inside the Gates Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is planning a major restructuring that includes cutting up to 500 jobs—roughly 20% of its workforce—over the next several years as it tries to rein in costs and align with its long-term financial strategy. The cuts are tied to a broader effort to cap operating expenses and manage a multi-billion-dollar annual budget, with an initial round of layoffs expected before the end of the decade. Leadership framed the move as part of a long-term transition, especially as the foundation works toward its eventual wind-down timeline and adjusts to changes in funding and internal priorities. At the same time, the foundation has launched an external review into its past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, following renewed scrutiny from newly released documents and ongoing political pressure. The review is meant to examine how those connections were handled and whether internal vetting processes were sufficient, with results expected later in 2026. Bill Gates has acknowledged that his meetings with Epstein were a mistake and has faced increasing calls for accountability, including a planned appearance before Congress, as the controversy continues to cast a shadow over the foundation’s operations and reputation. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Gates Foundation reviewing Jeffrey Epstein ties, will slash staff: WSJ [https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/21/gates-foundation-jeffrey-epstein-jobs-cuts.html]

episode Waiting Out the Epstein Storm: Why Maxwell Thinks Trump Might Grant a Pardon Later cover

Waiting Out the Epstein Storm: Why Maxwell Thinks Trump Might Grant a Pardon Later

Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team is openly positioning a potential presidential pardon from Donald Trump as both a strategic goal and a bargaining chip, while acknowledging the timing is politically sensitive. Her attorney has indicated that Maxwell “obviously wants clemency” and believes there is a realistic chance she could receive it, but has deliberately held off on aggressively pursuing a pardon while the Epstein scandal remains at the center of public and political scrutiny. The calculation appears to be that once attention fades, a formal push for clemency could become more viable, especially given Trump has not definitively ruled it out in the past. At the same time, the idea of a pardon remains highly controversial and uncertain. The White House has publicly downplayed the possibility, stating that it is not something currently under consideration, even as Trump himself has historically left the door open by saying he could “take a look” at Maxwell’s case. The broader context—ongoing investigations, political pressure, and Maxwell’s own legal appeals—has turned the pardon discussion into a flashpoint, with critics warning that any clemency would provoke significant backlash, especially given her conviction and central role in Epstein’s abuse network. to contact me:  bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer thinks Trump will pardon her for Epstein-related crimes: ‘There’s a good chance’ | The Independent [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ghislaine-maxwell-trump-pardon-epstein-b2959798.html]

episode Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 16) (7/11/26) cover

Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 16) (7/11/26)

Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative assistant, handling scheduling, calls, travel coordination, calendars, and staff logistics. Her central position was that Epstein kept her separated from his criminal life, that she never witnessed abuse, never had a victim disclose abuse to her, and did not knowingly help Epstein or Maxwell commit crimes. She described Epstein as a “master manipulator” who lied to her and kept his “legitimate” world apart from his abuse, while acknowledging that she scheduled massage appointments when Epstein provided names and numbers, sometimes circulated calendars that included those appointments early on, and understood the massages as routine at the time. She said she did not personally meet the massage providers, did not know they were minors or young women, and assumed they were masseuses, even though members pressed her on why an extremely wealthy man would use rotating names and phone numbers instead of a professional massage service. The questioning also focused heavily on Epstein’s network and whether Groff had knowledge of powerful men being provided access to girls or young women through Epstein or Maxwell. Groff repeatedly answered no when asked whether she had arranged massages for prominent figures, knew of sexual activity involving minors or young women, or knew of anyone who knowingly facilitated Epstein’s crimes. She acknowledged scheduling or connecting Epstein with high-profile contacts, including Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, John Kerry, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton-related circles, and Donald Trump phone calls, but denied arranging Trump travel during her employment and denied knowledge of Trump-related law enforcement communications. She also said she never suspected Epstein or Maxwell of working with any intelligence service. Overall, Groff’s testimony was defensive and narrow: she admitted to being part of the machinery that kept Epstein’s calendar and contacts moving, but insisted she never saw the criminal operation underneath it and never knowingly enabled it. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source:   Lesley-Groff-Transcript.pdf [https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Lesley-Groff-Transcript.pdf]
