Beskrivelse

This FBI FD-302 memorializes a December 4, 2019 proffer interview with a heavily redacted woman who described both financial and sexual dimensions of her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. She told investigators that in late 2018, after financial stress connected to apartment renovations and after public reporting on Epstein had already intensified, she met Epstein at his New York residence and explained her financial situation. Epstein allegedly called his accountant Richard Kahn during the meeting and arranged for $250,000 to be wired to her, telling her not to tell anyone about the money. She also described receiving another large payment from Epstein, bringing the total to $350,000 between 2013 and 2018. The document also places Lesley Groff in the chain of contact, with the woman saying Groff told her to come meet Epstein if she was in New York. The woman said she did not initially connect the money to press scrutiny or the Miami Herald reporting, portraying Epstein’s payment as part of his broader pattern of financial control and “generosity,” though the timing is obviously significant. The most disturbing portion of the interview centers on the woman’s description of Epstein’s sexual control, coercion, and abuse across multiple locations, including Palm Beach, New York, Paris, New Mexico, and his island. She said Epstein directed her sexually, woke her by touching her, summoned her to sleep in his bed, dictated how she should touch him, controlled aspects of her appearance, and made her feel she had no meaningful choice. She described one Palm Beach gym encounter as an aggressive rape, saying Epstein turned the music up, closed the hurricane shutters, pulled down her pants, and had intercourse with her. She also placed Ghislaine Maxwell directly inside the sexual machinery, saying Maxwell was present during an early encounter, touched her, instructed her where and how to touch Epstein, made sexually explicit comments, and helped normalize Epstein’s demands. The interview also describes Maxwell’s broader household authority: approving bills, running Epstein’s homes, overseeing staff and logistics, and creating an environment where the woman felt isolated, ashamed, dependent, and unable to tell anyone because her friends, work, lawyers, housing, and relationships were all tied back to Epstein’s world. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA01246595.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01246595.pdf]

episode Governor John de Jongh's Motion To Dismiss The Epstein Survivors Lawsuit (Part 3) cover

Governor John de Jongh's Motion To Dismiss The Epstein Survivors Lawsuit (Part 3)

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

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

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]

episode July 23 Testimony Looms for Jes Staley in Epstein Oversight Probe (6/4/26) cover

July 23 Testimony Looms for Jes Staley in Epstein Oversight Probe (6/4/26)

Jes Staley, the former Barclays chief executive and former JPMorgan Chase executive, has agreed to sit for a voluntary, transcribed interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 23 about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The interview was requested by Oversight Chairman James Comer as part of the committee’s broader probe into how Epstein was able to maintain access to elite financial, legal, political, and social networks for years despite his criminal history. Staley is a particularly important witness because he previously ran JPMorgan’s private wealth and asset management operations, where Epstein was a major client, and because his own relationship with Epstein has already drawn serious regulatory, legal, and reputational scrutiny. The focus is not just that Staley knew Epstein, but how close that relationship was, what JPMorgan understood about Epstein while he remained a client, and whether major institutions ignored warning signs because Epstein was financially useful and socially connected. Staley has long maintained that he did not know about Epstein’s criminal conduct, but prior proceedings and disclosures have raised questions about the depth of their friendship, including personal communications and findings by UK regulators that led to Staley being banned from senior financial roles. His July 23 interview now places him alongside other high-profile Epstein-linked figures expected to face congressional questioning, including Bill Gates, Leon Black, and Kathryn Ruemmler, as lawmakers continue trying to fill in the gaps left by settlements, sealed records, institutional evasions, and years of official failure. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley agrees to July 23 interview about Jeffrey Epstein by oversight panel [https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/former-barclays-ceo-jes-staley-agrees-to-july-23-interview-about-jeffrey-epstein-by-oversight-panel/ar-AA24ucqL?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds]
