Jeffrey Epstein's crimes shocked the world—but what if the greatest scandal was never the trafficking, the island, or the flight logs? Richard Syrett welcomes former federal prosecutor Ronald Chapman II, who argues the real story lies in a hidden financial network of influence, philanthropy, and political power that investigators have largely ignored.

GUEST: Ronald Chapman II is a former federal prosecutor, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and one of America's leading federal criminal defense attorneys. For decades, he has investigated complex financial crimes, government prosecutions, and white-collar corruption. He is the author of Fight the Feds: Unraveling Federal Criminal Investigations and Truth and Persuasion: In the Digital Revolution. Chapman now argues that the Jeffrey Epstein story cannot be understood without following the money.
