Descripción

Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen’s summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to house donors and, at times, Epstein himself. Interlochen says it previously investigated his activities on campus after his first conviction and again after his 2019 arrest, claiming it found no evidence that Epstein committed crimes at the school. Still, the building has become impossible for the institution to separate from Epstein’s legacy, and Interlochen’s board says demolishing it is now the appropriate step. The renewed scrutiny comes after recently released Justice Department files and prior reporting showed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met alone with at least one student at the lodge, an encounter the woman later described as the beginning of grooming behavior. Interlochen says it does not allow unsupervised donor-student visits, but that claim only raises more questions about how Epstein and Maxwell ended up alone with a student in the first place. Michigan lawmakers have signaled plans to investigate Epstein’s activities at Interlochen, while the school says it has cooperated with investigators and will respond to oversight bodies as needed. The demolition may remove the physical structure, but it does not erase the larger issue: Epstein was embedded deeply enough in elite institutions that even a children’s arts camp in northern Michigan became part of the long, ugly paper trail. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Interlochen to demolish lodge tied to Jeffrey Epstein | News | abc12.com [https://www.abc12.com/news/interlochen-to-demolish-lodge-tied-to-jeffrey-epstein/article_5871d225-10f8-4989-a0e2-75c2fbf7751f.html#google_vignette]

The Archives: Shelley Anne Lewis And Her Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

British-born Shelley Anne Lewis, reportedly Epstein’s longtime secret girlfriend, was identified in newly unsealed court documents after years of mystery about her identity. Lewis, then in her early 20s, is said to have met Epstein around 1999 while working in the contemporary art department at Christie’s auction house in New York and to have dated him until about 2002. Flight logs suggest she took numerous trips on his private jet, including to his properties, and was part of his social circle for several years. She later became known as a children’s book author, spiritual entrepreneur and wellness figure, running ventures like Chocolate Sauce Books and Sacred Space and describing herself as pursuing holistic wellbeing projects. Despite the spotlight on her name, there’s no indication she was involved in or aware of Epstein’s criminal conduct, and she declined to comment publicly after her identity was exposed. Lewis’ family acknowledged in other reports that they knew she was seeing “someone in New York” during that period, but her connection to Epstein only fully came to light through references in emails between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In one 2015 message, Maxwell asked Epstein to confirm that Shelley had been his girlfriend from the late 1990s to early 2000s, to which he agreed. While some media have highlighted her social travels and describe her as part of Epstein’s circle during a formative time in his life, she has not been accused of wrongdoing and has kept a low profile since the documents were released. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Archives: Dean Kamen And His Alleged Friendship With Jeffrey Epstein

Dean Kamen’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein has drawn increasing scrutiny due to overlapping travel records, shared associates, and questionable coincidences. Flight logs show Kamen traveled on Epstein’s private jet in 2003, and subsequent reports revealed that a former Epstein associate, pilot Nadia Marcinko—also known as “Gulfstream Girl”—had ties to Kamen’s DEKA Aviation facility in New Hampshire. Marcinko’s business was even registered at one of Kamen’s addresses, blurring the line between coincidence and collaboration. Kamen, a celebrated inventor, has denied any wrongdoing, but critics argue that his association with figures so deeply embedded in Epstein’s operations warrants far more investigation. Whether Kamen’s involvement was a matter of convenience, ignorance, or something darker remains unanswered—but the paper trail paints a picture that’s far from innocent. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Archives: Andrew And His Trips To Thailand With Jeffrey Epstein And Ghislaine Maxwell

The trip that Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly took to Thailand was emblematic of the troubling, blurred lines between official duties and personal indulgence that marked Andrew’s association with Epstein and Maxwell. According to multiple published accounts, the excursion was ostensibly part of Andrew’s role as a trade envoy or a royal visit, but reports claim that it quickly devolved into a series of highly inappropriate activities far removed from any diplomatic mission. One biographer asserts that during the stay in Bangkok, Andrew arranged for dozens of women to be brought to his luxury hotel over several days—ostensibly under the cover of his official duties and at public expense—raising serious ethical and reputational questions about how he used his position and resources for private gratification rather than state business. These accounts, though contested and not part of official legal records, fit into a broader pattern of behavior that has dogged Andrew’s public life with scandal and suspicion. Beyond the sensational claims of the Thailand trip itself, the involvement of Epstein and Maxwell highlights how Andrew’s friendships with these figures repeatedly drew him into morally and legally fraught situations. Epstein and Maxwell were central figures in trafficking networks that exploited vulnerable young women, and their presence alongside Andrew on trips and at social events underscores the degree to which he tolerated or embraced company that should have been avoided. Even as Epstein’s criminality became widely known, Andrew maintained contact with him and continued to socialize in ways that blurred accountability and oversight, culminating in diplomatic embarrassment, public outrage, and legal scrutiny years later. The Thailand episode is thus not an isolated scandal but part of a pattern of reckless behavior and poor judgment that has had lasting consequences for Andrew’s reputation. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Captain Of Security Operations At MCC And His OIG Deposition (Part 7) (6/2/26)

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]

More Peter Mandelson Files And Epstein's Alleged DNA Vault (6/2/26)

The second batch of documents tied to Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as the UK ambassador to the United States is set to be published, with officials describing it as one of the largest document releases ever laid before Parliament. The files relate to the controversy over Mandelson’s appointment, his vetting process, and the fallout from revelations about the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which ultimately led to his removal from the ambassadorial post. The release is expected to include a large volume of communications and government material, though some sensitive vetting documents may be withheld or redacted because of an ongoing Metropolitan Police investigation into alleged misconduct in public office. The broader issue is politically damaging for Keir Starmer’s government because it raises questions about what officials knew, when they knew it, how Mandelson was cleared for such a high-profile diplomatic role, and whether the government was fully transparent about the risks surrounding his Epstein ties. Newly released Epstein-related files reportedly show another strange layer of his obsession with genetics, DNA, reproduction, and personal legacy, including references to sperm banking, genetic testing, and alleged efforts to preserve or extend his biological footprint even after death. The material fits into a broader pattern already associated with Epstein: his documented fascination with eugenics, transhumanism, elite scientific circles, and the idea of using wealth and access to embed himself inside worlds of medicine, genetics, academia, and power. The new information is unsettling not only because of what it suggests about Epstein’s private ambitions, but because it raises more questions about who knew about these interests, who helped facilitate them, whether any institutions enabled him after his conviction, and why so many pieces of his operation remain hidden, redacted, or only partially understood years after his death. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Second batch of Mandelson files to be published on Monday [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98r664g865o] Epstein's dark dream of spreading his DNA may outlive him: new files - Raw Story [https://www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epstein-dna-new-info/]
