Epstein’s Offshore Bank: The Mystery of Southern Country International (7/7/26)

Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 12) (7/7/26)

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]

The Royal Alibi That a Restaurant Took More Seriously Than Scotland Yard (7/7/26)

Pizza Express carried out an internal inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s infamous claim that he was at its Woking branch on March 10, 2001 — the same date Virginia Giuffre alleged she was sexually abused by him after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew used the Woking visit during his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview as part of his denial, saying he had taken Princess Beatrice to a children’s party there and remembered it because going to Pizza Express in Woking was an unusual thing for him to do. According to the BBC’s reporting, Pizza Express checked what it could, including records and former staff, but found no evidence proving he had been there — and no evidence definitively proving he had not. BBC Newsnight also revisited the claim and found no record of anyone seeing Andrew at the restaurant that day. The BBC tried to get answers from the Metropolitan Police about whether royal protection officers had accompanied him, but the Met refused to confirm or deny whether it held relevant information, citing national security and protection issues. So the bottom line is brutal: one of Andrew’s most famous Epstein alibis remains unsupported by any clear public evidence, and the most visible attempt to test it appears to have come not from police producing a clean answer, but from Pizza Express itself trying to verify whether the former royal was ever actually in that Woking branch. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Pizza Express held inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Woking claim [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1my27lyjx9o]

Epstein’s Offshore Bank: The Mystery of Southern Country International (7/7/26)

The Miami Herald reports that Jeffrey Epstein’s obscure U.S. Virgin Islands offshore bank, Southern Country International, suddenly became active in 2019 after years of dormancy, moving tens of millions of dollars shortly before and after his arrest and death. The bank reportedly had no employees, held under $500,000 for years, and then processed more than $20 million between April and early July 2019. After Epstein died in federal custody on August 10, 2019, another $25 million moved through the bank, including funds from unknown sources. Investigators later examined a $15 million transfer from Epstein’s Deutsche Bank account to Southern Country the day after his death, but the FBI closed the wire-fraud probe four years later without publicly explaining why. The story also lays out how Epstein obtained the offshore banking license in the first place, despite being a registered sex offender, and how Virgin Islands officials gave the bank unusual treatment, including waiving a requirement that it employ at least three people. The Herald notes that the bank may have been used in ways that violated territorial rules, because Southern Country was supposed to do business only with non-Virgin Islands people or companies, yet large transfers involved Epstein’s Southern Trust Company, which was based in the territory. Compliance officers at traditional banks later flagged suspicious activity, with TD Bank reportedly saying some account funding appeared designed to disguise Epstein as the source of the money. The result is another unanswered Epstein money trail: a bank created in a friendly offshore jurisdiction, largely dormant for years, suddenly moving huge sums around the exact moment the walls were closing in. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Questions surround Epstein’s USVI offshore bank activity | Miami Herald [https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/article316338915.html]
