episode Inside The OIG Interview: The Testimony Of An Unnamed CO/Lieutenant (Part 5) (5/24/26) cover

Beskrivelse

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]

Governor John de Jongh's Motion To Dismiss The Epstein Survivors Lawsuit (Part 4)

Former U.S. Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh Jr. has filed a memorandum in federal court seeking to dismiss, transfer, or strike the lawsuit brought by five anonymous women identified as Jane Does 1-5, who accuse the Virgin Islands government and several current and former officials of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. De Jongh argues that the Southern District of New York lacks jurisdiction, asserting he has been a resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands for decades and has no substantial ties to New York that would justify the case being heard there. He also claims he was improperly served at a Manhattan address where he says he does not reside or maintain control, insisting the lawsuit should be dismissed or moved to the Virgin Islands, where the alleged conduct occurred. The memorandum further contends that even if the court finds jurisdiction proper, the claims against De Jongh should still be thrown out because they are barred by prior settlement releases signed by Epstein’s victims as part of earlier agreements with his estate. He argues that the complaint fails to allege specific wrongful acts committed by him and maintains that any actions connected to Epstein occurred while he was serving in his official capacity, which he says grants him legal immunity. De Jongh also asks the court to strike portions of the complaint as irrelevant and prejudicial, describing them as inflammatory rather than grounded in fact. The filing adds another layer to the expanding legal fight over what government officials knew— and failed to stop—while Epstein operated in the Virgin Islands. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Captain Of Security Operations At MCC And His OIG Deposition (Part 9) (6/4/26)

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]
