The Vault: The Epstein Files

The Captain Of Security Operations At MCC And His OIG Deposition (Part 9) (6/13/26)

The document is a sworn OIG interview transcript from June 15, 2021, involving the Bureau of Prisons captain who oversaw security operations at MCC New York during the period surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him through staffing, rosters, post assignments, suicide-watch procedures, SHU operations, and the chain of responsibility on August 9–10, 2019. The transcript is important because it does not present Epstein’s death as a clean, orderly institutional event; instead, it shows a jail struggling with bad staffing, confusing handoffs, unfilled posts, questionable paperwork, and a command structure where critical responsibilities appear to have been either missed, misunderstood, or passed around. The most serious value of the interview is in the irregularities it surfaces. The captain reportedly discussed inaccurate rosters or logs, acknowledged questions around skipped SHU rounds, addressed the fact that Epstein had previously been on suicide watch, and said he would not necessarily have known in real time if officers were failing to conduct required checks. Even more troubling, he expressed concern that certain documents may have been deliberately removed from files that should have been reviewed or audited, and investigators also raised an inmate-count issue involving an inmate named Reyes, whose release may not have been properly reflected in the institution’s count — something the captain treated as a protocol violation. Taken together, the transcript adds another layer to the larger Epstein death record: not a single clean explanation, but a bureaucratic mess of missing or questionable documentation, staffing failures, broken supervision, and institutional chaos at precisely the moment when the most high-profile federal inmate in America was supposed to be under careful control. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA00111830.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00111830.pdf]

The Sarah Kellen Congressional Transcript (Part 4) (6/13/26)

Sarah Kellen told Congress that she was not a willing architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s operation but one of his victims, claiming Epstein groomed, abused, isolated, and controlled her for years. She described herself as trapped inside his world through sexual, psychological, and emotional coercion, and said Epstein continued to exert power over her even while he was incarcerated. That testimony matters because Kellen has long been one of the most controversial names in the Epstein case: she was not some distant acquaintance or occasional employee, but a close assistant whose name appeared in the non-prosecution agreement and whose alleged role has been described by survivors as central to the scheduling, travel, and logistics that made Epstein’s abuse machine function. The skeptical read is that Kellen’s testimony may explain parts of her relationship with Epstein, but it does not automatically erase the serious questions about what she did, what she knew, and how long she remained embedded in his operation. Being abused by Epstein and enabling Epstein’s access to other victims are not mutually exclusive possibilities, and that is the uncomfortable center of the issue. Her testimony shifts the frame from co-conspirator to coerced participant, but Congress and the public still have to weigh that against the survivor accounts, the documented logistics, the years of proximity, and the fact that Epstein’s criminal enterprise required trusted people to keep the appointments, movements, and access points running. In plain terms, Kellen may have been victimized by Epstein, but that does not settle the question of whether she also helped him victimize others. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: 2026-05-21 Sarah Kellen - Transcript.pdf - Google Drive [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nPDWYcqxugpod1-b98xuayS-RkUtrcyS/view?pli=1]
