    Deutsche Bank And Their 150 Million Dollar Jeffrey Epstein Mistake

    In July 2020, New York state regulators fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for its failure to properly monitor its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, along with other high-risk clients. The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) determined that the bank ignored clear warning signs while maintaining Epstein as a client from 2013 to 2018, years after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Regulators found that Deutsche Bank processed millions in suspicious transactions for Epstein, including payments to women with Eastern European surnames and large cash withdrawals that should have triggered scrutiny. The DFS concluded that the bank chose profit over compliance, prioritizing Epstein’s business despite internal concerns that he posed legal and reputational risks. The fine was the first major enforcement action against a financial institution for its role in facilitating Epstein’s activities. Regulators detailed how Deutsche Bank repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) despite obvious red flags tied to Epstein’s network of shell companies and payments structured to look like consulting or tuition expenses. The settlement required Deutsche Bank to improve oversight and compliance systems, but it also underscored a larger problem: financial institutions were essential enablers of Epstein’s empire, allowing him to move money and maintain access to elite circles even after his conviction. The $150 million penalty was significant in size, yet critics argued it was still a slap on the wrist for a global bank that had enabled Epstein’s financial maneuvering for years.

    Ghislaine Maxwell And Jeffrey Epstein Didn't Work Alone

    Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did not operate in isolation—they relied on a network. Their crimes were made possible by a web of enablers, facilitators, fixers, and bystanders who either helped directly or looked the other way. From private pilots to personal assistants, house managers to recruiters, there were people in their orbit who scheduled, transported, housed, and in some cases, groomed young girls for abuse. These weren’t random helpers—they were staff, associates, and colleagues who made Epstein and Maxwell’s operation function like a well-oiled machine. Yet, most of them have never faced a single charge. Their silence, compliance, and active participation were just as essential as the actions of Epstein and Maxwell themselves. Equally complicit were the institutions that protected them. Wealth managers, elite schools, banks, law firms, and even prosecutors played roles—some by omission, others by design. Doors opened for Epstein and Maxwell that would have slammed shut on anyone without money and connections. Social circles embraced them long after rumors had become accusations, and long after accusations had become evidence. And still, they were given platforms, invitations, and cover. This wasn’t a case of two people fooling the world—it was a case of the world choosing not to care. The myth of the “lone predator” serves power well, but the truth is always more uncomfortable: predators thrive in systems that help them. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10332169/Underage-orgies-possible-pregnancy-key-moments-Ghislaine-Maxwells-sensational-trial.html Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

    Les Wexner Issues A Statement Prior To His Epstein Related Congressional Appearance (2/18/26)

    In a detailed written statement submitted ahead of his closed-door deposition before the U.S. House Oversight Committee, billionaire Les Wexner said he was “pleased” for the chance to “set the record straight” about his long-standing financial and personal connection to the late Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner described Epstein as a “con man” and said he had been “naïve, foolish, and gullible” to trust him, but emphatically denied ever having any knowledge of or involvement in Epstein’s criminal conduct. He reiterated that he cut all ties nearly two decades ago when he learned of Epstein’s misconduct, asserted he had “done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide,” and called attention to the pain suffered by Epstein’s survivors, expressing sympathy for their suffering. Wexner also portrayed himself as a family man, philanthropist, and longtime Ohio community leader, framing his statement around a desire to correct what he characterized as “outrageous untrue statements and hurtful rumor, innuendo, and speculation” about him. He stressed his long career building retail brands, his ethical values, and said that his relationship with Epstein ended after he discovered financial misconduct rather than criminal activity. Throughout the statement, he sought to distance himself from the most egregious aspects of the Epstein scandal while acknowledging the opportunity to cooperate with congressional inquiries. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Ohio billionaire Les Wexner issues statement ahead of deposition in Jeffrey Epstein investigation – WHIO TV 7 and WHIO Radio Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

    Calls For A Real Investigation Into The Wexner–Epstein Alliance Continue To Grow (Part 2) (2/18/26)

    Questions surrounding Les Wexner have intensified as scrutiny continues over the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner granted Epstein sweeping financial authority in the 1990s, including power of attorney over vast portions of his fortune—an arrangement that remains one of the most extraordinary aspects of the Epstein saga. Critics argue that such access raises serious concerns about oversight, judgment, and what Wexner may have known about Epstein’s conduct during the years he managed Wexner’s assets and represented himself publicly as a financial adviser to billionaires. Although Wexner has maintained that Epstein misappropriated funds and betrayed his trust, skeptics question how Epstein was able to operate for so long within Wexner’s inner circle without deeper awareness or warning signs. The renewed attention stems not only from Epstein’s crimes but from broader questions about institutional complicity and elite insulation. Wexner was widely regarded as Epstein’s most important early patron, providing legitimacy that helped Epstein embed himself in powerful social and financial networks. Civil lawsuits, document releases, and investigative reporting have kept focus on why Wexner severed ties only after public scandal erupted and whether internal safeguards failed. While Wexner has publicly expressed regret and distanced himself from Epstein following the financier’s arrest, the scale of Epstein’s access to his finances and properties continues to fuel demands for fuller transparency about what occurred during their decades-long association. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmal.com source: Questions swirl over Ohio billionaire Les Wexner’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

    Zorro Ranch Under the Microscope: New Mexico Launches Epstein Truth Commission (2/18/26)

    A bipartisan truth-finding commission has been officially created by the New Mexico House of Representatives to investigate what happened at Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe and the state’s connections to his activities. The resolution creating the four-member panel passed unanimously 62-0 and appoints two Democrats and two Republicans, including Rep. Andrea Romero, who sponsored the measure, and members with legal and investigative backgrounds. The commission is scheduled to hold its first meeting this week, will allow public testimony, has subpoena power to compel witnesses to testify, and is expected to publicly post information it gathers. Though it cannot directly launch criminal investigations, it can coordinate with law enforcement and will issue a report by the end of 2026 outlining its findings and recommendations. Lawmakers say the commission aims to explore gaps in past enforcement and understanding of allegations of sexual abuse and human trafficking tied to Epstein’s long tenure in New Mexico, where civil suits have accused him of abusing women and girls at the ranch. The initiative comes amid ongoing scrutiny following the release of federal files that mention New Mexico figures and activities, and officials have pointed to the need to ensure such crimes are fully documented and that “gaps in the law and enforcement” are addressed. Past state efforts never resulted in criminal charges, and the panel’s work could renew focus on what state officials knew and how these events unfolded. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Truth-finding commission focused on Epstein's activities in New Mexico set to ramp up quickly Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

    MCC Corrections Officer Michael Thomas And His OIG Interview Related To Epstein's Death (Part 2) (2/18/26)

    Michael Thomas was a veteran correctional officer employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan — a federal detention facility — where Jeffrey Epstein was being held in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Thomas had been with the Bureau of Prisons since about 2007 and, on the night of Epstein’s death (August 9–10, 2019), was assigned to an overnight shift alongside another officer, Tova Noel, responsible for conducting required 30-minute inmate checks and institutional counts in the SHU. Because Epstein’s cellmate had been moved and not replaced, Epstein was alone in his cell, making regular monitoring all the more crucial under bureau policy. Thomas became a focal figure in the official investigations into Epstein’s death because surveillance footage and institutional records showed that neither he nor Noel conducted the required rounds or counts through the night before Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell early on August 10. Prosecutors subsequently charged both officers with conspiracy and falsifying records for signing count slips that falsely indicated they had completed rounds they had not performed. Thomas and Noel later entered deferred prosecution agreements in which they admitted falsifying records and avoided prison time, instead receiving supervisory release and community service. Investigators concluded that chronic staffing shortages and procedural failures at the jail contributed to the circumstances that allowed Epstein to remain unmonitored for hours before his death, which was officially ruled a suicide by hanging. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA00113577.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

    Mega Edition: Why Not Everyone In Epstein's Orbit Is The Same And Why That Matters (2/18/26)

    One of the biggest mistakes people keep making when they talk about Jeffrey Epstein is flattening everyone in his orbit into the same category. A photo becomes guilt, proximity becomes participation, and suddenly the conversation collapses into noise. That kind of thinking doesn’t expose Epstein’s operation—it protects it. Not everyone who crossed paths with Epstein was part of his crimes, and pretending otherwise only muddies the water and gives cover to the people who actually mattered. Epstein’s power thrived on confusion, and when we refuse to distinguish between social adjacency and real involvement, we’re doing his work for him. What the record actually shows is a layered system: people who encountered Epstein socially, people who enabled him by looking away or greasing the wheels, people who helped his operation function day to day, and people directly accused of taking part in the abuse. Those categories are not interchangeable, and pretending they are is how accountability dies. Enablers in finance, law, institutions, and government gave Epstein legitimacy and protection, while operational co-conspirators made the abuse repeatable and enforceable. Now, as scrutiny sharpens, the narrative has shifted to “reputations” and demands to “move on.” That’s not accidental. It’s a last-ditch effort to blur the lines again. The only way to stop that is precision—knowing who did what, when, and how, and refusing to let facts be laundered into confusion. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source:  bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
