Descripción

In a sworn interview with DOJ Office of Inspector General investigators conducted on June 14, 2021, an unnamed lieutenant and former correctional officer from MCC New York was questioned as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death and the broader security failures surrounding his incarceration. The interview began with investigators explicitly stating that the probe focused not only on Epstein’s death itself, but also “everything that surrounds that time,” including job performance failures and security breakdowns. The correctional officer agreed to a voluntary interview under oath and spent much of the early questioning outlining his career history, including prior work as a New York City probation officer, a brief stint with New York State corrections, and his transfer to MCC New York in 2013 after beginning his BOP career at Allenwood in Pennsylvania. The deposition is another piece of the sprawling federal effort to reconstruct exactly what happened inside MCC New York before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 10, 2019. Investigators were clearly trying to map out the staffing structure, chain of command, and personnel who were present during the chaotic period surrounding Epstein’s incarceration, including after his first alleged suicide attempt. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA00111284.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00111284.pdf]

episode Buckingham Palace Is Accused Of Being Part Of The On going Epstein Coverup (6/3/26) artwork

Buckingham Palace Is Accused Of Being Part Of The On going Epstein Coverup (6/3/26)

Jess Michaels, a Jeffrey Epstein survivor, accused Buckingham Palace of helping shield Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor by failing to act on damaging material it reportedly received years earlier. The central issue is an archive of roughly 30,000 emails allegedly handed to the Palace’s Lord Chamberlain in May 2020, tied to Andrew’s work as a UK trade envoy and his dealings with powerful business figures. Those emails reportedly suggested Andrew may have shared sensitive or confidential government-related information, including material connected to his official role, and raised questions about whether the Palace had evidence of potential misconduct long before police action began. Michaels argued that the Palace’s alleged inaction fits a broader pattern of institutions protecting powerful men while survivors were ignored, doubted, or left to fight alone. Andrew, who has denied wrongdoing, was later arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in connection with allegations that he passed sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein, and Thames Valley Police are also assessing related claims involving possible sexual misconduct. The broader implication is that the scandal is no longer only about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein or Virginia Giuffre’s allegations, but about whether Buckingham Palace had information that should have triggered accountability years earlier and instead allowed the matter to remain buried. to contact me: bobbcapucci@protonmail.com source: Epstein survivor accuses palace of cover-up [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/epstein-survivor-accuses-palace-of-cover-up/ar-AA24tGfW?cvid=6a1c304c92f74372b99fda5f33df4668&ocid=U452DHP]

episode James Fine, Karyna Shuliak, and Columbia Dental’s Epstein Problem (6/3/26) artwork

James Fine, Karyna Shuliak, and Columbia Dental’s Epstein Problem (6/3/26)

Dr. James Fine, a longtime Columbia College of Dental Medicine administrator, is set to leave his post after newly scrutinized records showed he twice helped Karyna Shuliak, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, gain entry into Columbia dental programs. The first instance involved her admission into the dental school after she had initially been rejected, during a period when Epstein was being courted as a potential major donor. The second involved Fine later recommending Shuliak for a postdoctoral program. The controversy grew because Columbia had already taken action against other dental school figures tied to Epstein-related admissions and fundraising questions, while Fine had remained in place despite documents showing his role in both episodes. The deeper issue is not merely one administrator leaving a university job; it is the pattern of elite institutions bending, softening, or bypassing normal procedures when Jeffrey Epstein’s money, access, or influence entered the room. Columbia has said Shuliak herself has not been found responsible for wrongdoing, but the admissions trail raises serious questions about who inside the school helped Epstein, why normal standards appeared to shift, and why accountability arrived only after documents forced the issue into public view. Fine’s exit adds another name to the fallout, but it also reinforces the larger Epstein pattern: powerful institutions only seem to discover their ethical backbone after the emails, donations, and internal favors become impossible to ignore. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: College of Dental Medicine administrator who twice aided Epstein’s girlfriend’s admission to exit post [https://www.columbiaspectator.com/main/2026/05/30/college-of-dental-medicine-administrator-who-twice-aided-epsteins-girlfriends-admission-to-exit-post/]

episode Mega Edition: Les Wexner And The Epstein Related Q&A Session With Congress (6/3/26) artwork

Mega Edition: Les Wexner And The Epstein Related Q&A Session With Congress (6/3/26)

Les Wexner’s Epstein-related deposition landed less like a breakthrough and more like another controlled pass through already familiar terrain: Wexner said Epstein conned him, denied knowing anything about Epstein’s sex trafficking, denied participating in abuse, and tried to frame the relationship as professional rather than personal. He described Epstein as a family-office figure who managed parts of his financial life, claimed Epstein stole from him, said he never saw warning signs, and insisted that after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea, Epstein was essentially “dead” to him. The questioning did force Wexner to address uncomfortable details — the birthday-book message signed “your friend Leslie,” photos of him with Epstein, a visit to Epstein’s island, Epstein’s role around New Albany, and the question of how much money Epstein may have taken — but Wexner’s answers largely stayed inside the same defensive box: he was deceived, he did not know, he does not remember, and Epstein was a criminal predator whose full operation escaped him. The problem is that the process did not appear to substantially move the ball. It produced optics, denials, memory gaps, and a few headline-friendly moments, but very little that fundamentally changed the public record. The public already knew Wexner was one of Epstein’s most important early patrons, that Epstein had unusual access to his money and world, that the relationship helped give Epstein social credibility, and that Wexner has long claimed he was betrayed and financially exploited. What the deposition added was texture, not revelation: Wexner’s own tone, his repeated distancing, his admission about the birthday note, his “con man” framing, and his inability or unwillingness to nail down key specifics. In that sense, the interview reinforced the larger frustration with the Epstein inquiry machine: powerful people are questioned, transcripts and videos are released, everyone gets a day of headlines, but the public still comes away with the same core unanswered questions about who enabled Epstein, who protected him, who benefited from him, and why the system let him operate for so long. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

episode Mega Edition: The Psychological Reconstruction Of The Events Leading To The Death of Epstein (6/2/26) artwork

Mega Edition: The Psychological Reconstruction Of The Events Leading To The Death of Epstein (6/2/26)

In the memorandum responding to the psychological reconstruction of inmate Jeffrey Epstein dated September 17, 2019, MCC New York Warden J. Petrucci addressed findings related to Epstein’s mental state and the events leading up to his death while housed in the Special Housing Unit. The response reviewed Epstein’s custody status, the decision to remove him from suicide watch, and the psychological assessments conducted by staff prior to his death. According to the institutional response, medical and psychological personnel had evaluated Epstein after an earlier incident in July 2019 and later determined that he did not meet the criteria to remain on suicide watch. Instead, he was placed under psychological observation, which carried fewer monitoring requirements than full suicide watch. The memorandum emphasized that clinical staff believed Epstein was stable enough to be removed from the more restrictive monitoring status and that the decision was based on the professional judgment of mental health personnel following their evaluation. Petrucci’s response also addressed operational procedures within the Special Housing Unit and how those procedures were supposed to function during Epstein’s detention. The memorandum stated that once Epstein was removed from suicide watch, responsibility for routine monitoring shifted back to standard correctional procedures, including regular counts and welfare checks conducted by correctional officers. The response acknowledged that those required checks were not properly carried out during the overnight shift preceding Epstein’s death and that logbook entries later proved to be inaccurate. While the psychological reconstruction attempted to analyze Epstein’s mental condition and possible motivations, the institutional response focused on clarifying the decisions made by staff and explaining the custody status under which Epstein was being housed at the time. The memorandum ultimately framed the removal from suicide watch as a clinical decision made by mental health professionals, while noting that subsequent failures in required monitoring procedures occurred during the final hours before Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA00048963.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00048963.pdf]

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Many Mysterious Deaths Around Him (6/2/26)

Jeffrey Epstein’s death inside a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 ignited a chain of suspicion that has never faded, morphing into a narrative where suicide is never just suicide. From Epstein himself to Jean-Luc Brunel in Paris, to former White House aide Mark Middleton in Arkansas, to Deutsche Bank executives and even Ghislaine Maxwell’s father decades earlier, each sudden death has been folded into a larger pattern. Official rulings of suicide or accident are met with disbelief, because the timing always feels too convenient, the circumstances too strange, and the institutions overseeing these figures too compromised. Together, these deaths form more than a morbid list—they’ve become symbols of systemic failure. Each one robs survivors of testimony, erases potential evidence, and reinforces the belief that the powerful never face full accountability. Whether by incompetence, coincidence, or conspiracy, the effect is the same: witnesses vanish, truth is buried, and public trust corrodes. In the shadow of Epstein, bizarre suicides are no longer personal tragedies—they are the story itself, a grim reminder that justice often dies before it can be delivered. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
