The Adfin Deal: Howard Lutnick, Jeffrey Epstein and the Paper Trail (7/15/26)

How Jean-Luc Brunel Used MC2 to Feed the Monster (Part 1)

Maritza Vazquez, who worked as a bookkeeper for MC2 Model Management, provided critical testimony placing Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein at the center of a carefully managed system of underage recruitment and abuse. In her deposition, she identified Brunel as a regular passenger on Epstein’s private jet and noted that Epstein often traveled with girls recruited through MC2—some as young as 14. Vazquez testified that flight logs deliberately omitted the names of some female passengers, suggesting efforts to conceal underage trafficking. She recounted Brunel’s active role in sourcing vulnerable girls from abroad and introducing them into Epstein’s orbit, effectively operating as a global trafficking coordinator. Vazquez further corroborated that Epstein frequently displayed controlling behavior: he referred to Brunel’s recruits as inventory rather than people, casually discussing having “slept with over a thousand of Brunel’s girls,” according to court documents. Her detailed bookkeeping records and firsthand accounts of scheduling, money flow, and logistics provided prosecutors with evidence of a pipeline feeding Epstein’s sex ring. The deposition exposed how MC2 transactions and Brunel’s agency served as the administrative and logistical backbone for Epstein’s exploitation operation. to  contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Maritza Vasquez Deposition - Discussing Jeffrey Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, Donald Trump | DocumentCloud [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25966082-maritza-vasquez-deposition-ocrmypdf/]

Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 21) (7/15/26)

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]

Warren Buffet Makes A Final Decision On Donations to The Gates Foundation (7/15/26)

Warren Buffett left the Gates Foundation out of his annual charitable donations for the first time, directing roughly $6 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock instead to four foundations connected to his family. The omission followed renewed disclosures about Bill Gates’ meetings and correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett also accelerated his broader estate plans, announcing that his remaining Berkshire shares, valued at nearly $146 billion, will be donated to those four foundations by December 31, 2034. The Gates Foundation has received most of Buffett’s previous charitable giving, totaling more than $61 billion since 2006. Buffett and Gates were once exceptionally close, but Buffett said they had not spoken for months following the release of additional Epstein-related documents in late 2025. Gates has denied knowing about Epstein’s crimes and has not been accused of wrongdoing, maintaining that he met Epstein because he believed the financier could help raise money for charitable projects. The Gates Foundation has hired an outside reviewer to examine its past engagement with Epstein and its procedures for vetting potential partners. Buffett declined to directly judge Gates’ conduct, but said he wanted to avoid involvement in anything that might later become the subject of an investigation. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Warren Buffett omits annual donation to Bill Gates’ foundation after his Epstein ties were disclosed - ABC News [https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/warren-buffett-omits-annual-donation-bill-gates-foundation-134747146]

The Adfin Deal: Howard Lutnick, Jeffrey Epstein and the Paper Trail (7/15/26)

British whistleblower Simon Andriesz uncovered evidence in the publicly released Epstein records suggesting that Howard Lutnick, now the United States commerce secretary, had a more substantial business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than Lutnick had previously acknowledged. Andriesz, a former managing director at Lutnick’s Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, found a 2018 email exchange in which Lutnick personally updated Epstein about Adfin, a digital-advertising company in which companies controlled by both men had acquired stakes in 2012. The correspondence indicated that the two remained in direct communication years after Lutnick claimed he had effectively cut Epstein out of his life. Andriesz provided his findings to American lawmakers before Lutnick appeared at a congressional hearing in May, believing the documents raised serious questions about whether Lutnick had fully disclosed the nature and duration of his Epstein connection. Lutnick has maintained that he did not initially know Epstein was also invested in Adfin and has characterized their interactions as limited, but the records show that the two were involved in the same business venture and were still discussing its performance in 2018. Andriesz expressed frustration that evidence involving such a powerful government official appeared to generate little interest, despite the broader public demand for transparency concerning Epstein’s financial relationships and the influential people surrounding him. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: How US commerce secretary's Epstein links were uncovered by British whistleblower [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9q28dlyxrzo]
