And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and his death at mcc, there is still more questions than there are answers. And now that we have access to the Epstein files, or at least some of them, and we've seen some of the depositions from people working at mcc, does anyone out there actually believe the official narrative? And I think that one of the biggest tells that their narrative is garbage is by how evasive everybody's been during the OIG interviews. You could tell that the lieutenant that we're talking about right now wanted nothing to do with it. Do you really think. He had no idea about anything that happened. He had no idea how any other process worked in the shoe. Of course he did. But he was being evasive about it. He didn't want to give them the information they were looking for. And that's because I believe that either the facility let Jeffrey Epstein do what he did, or somebody else did it. And when I say let him do it, I believe that Nicholas Dartaglioni was there to pass on a message. And that message was, look, we can reach out and touch you whenever we want, and either you're going to do it, or. Or we're going to do it. And Epstein knew exactly who he was dealing with, and he knew that these people meant business. So if Epstein did take himself out, then I think he did so at the behest of the people who wanted him gone. But you know what? I don't believe for a single second that Jeffrey Epstein wrote any kind of suicide note while he was in that cell with Nicholas Dartaglioni. You can save that for somebody else, because I'm not buying it. Not for one single second. Especially considering nobody's taking responsibility for making the choice of putting Tartaglioni in a cell with Epstein in the first place. He should have never been in that cell. This is a guy who just got an infraction roughly a week earlier for having a phone in his cell. And then all of a sudden, you put him in a cell with Epstein, and Epstein just happens to almost commit suicide. Who was Tartaglioni talking to on that phone? And instead of being punished, why was he rewarded by being put in a cell with Epstein? And when you go through the depositions, it's a whole bunch of we don't know. We didn't make the decision. We have no idea. Ask the warden. Well, the warden's dead now, so nobody's asking him anything. And if I was a member of Congress, I wouldn't be wasting my time with Glenn Maxwell's ex boyfriend. Instead, I'd be calling up this unnamed lieutenant. The captains, all of the guards, everybody involved. Any person that was involved in the decision making, I'd be bringing them before Congress and putting them under oath. Why are we wasting our time with people that have nothing to do with it, really? Unless, of course, you're just trying to play out the string. And as you know, I think that the GOP members of the committee are just trying to run the clock out, and I think that's what they've been trying to do from the start. So today, we have an article from ABC News and the headline, Excel mate says he found suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein following earlier suicide attempt. This article was authored by James Hill and Aaron Katerski. I'm gonna file this one under I'll just be straight up with you. I don't believe a thing Nicholas Tartaglioni has to say. The guy's corrupt, he's a four time murderer, part of a drug cartel, and somebody that is just not trustworthy. You might as well listen to Glenn Maxwell, too. A suicide note purportedly written by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is locked inside the case file of his former cellmate, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglioni, who told the New York Times it was written on paper from a yellow legal pad and tucked inside a book. Okay, that's Tartaglioni side of it, right? Here's my side of it. Tartaglioni wrote that note, put it in the book, and had this whole plan ready to go. And I believe that there is sufficient evidence to back that up. Why would Jeffrey Epstein say that Nicholas d' Artaglioni was threatening him, that Tartaglioni roughed him up? What did Epstein have to gain by that? Not a damn thing. On the flip side, what did Tartaglione have to gain? Well, he didn't get the death penalty, right? Did that have anything to do with it? Did one of his buddies pull some strings after Tartaglioni completed his task at mcc? What? That's not plausible. I think it is. Especially considering what we've heard from all the employees. I think somebody was paid off. I don't know who, but I think that a good place to start would be Tova Noel and Michael Thomas. And then of course, some of these other lieutenants that we've talked about might have been in on it. Who knows? And I'm not saying they murdered Epstein, but did they set the scene? Did they make sure the time was right? I don't know. These were questions that the OIG should have been asking, but instead, we see how they work. According to the Times, Tartaglioni found the note in July of 2019 after Epstein unsuccessfully tried to kill himself. Allegedly. About two weeks before Epstein died by suicide. Allegedly in his lower Manhattan jail cell. Boy, they sure are quick to just jump on board with that narrative, huh? Epstein died in his jail cell. Nicholas Tartaglioni wrote, found the node. What? Why would you believe what Tartaglioni has to say? And don't you realize that this is something that's self serving? It Helps him out, helps his case out. Makes it look mysterious. There's no mystery here. Tartaglioni is a vile murderer who murdered four people and in my opinion, also assaulted Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was found in his cell on July 23, 2019, with a homemade news that fashioned around his neck, according to a Bureau of Prisons incident report. Is that true, though? What did Michael Thomas say in the deposition? Well, I don't know. What was around his neck? I can't recall. I don't remember. Oh, I don't know if that was it. And then they show us a picture of a noose, and it wasn't even the noose that was supposedly around old boy's neck. So if you want to believe that, that's cool. As I've told you a million times, I'm not here to convince anybody of anything. Here's the evidence. If you want to follow it, wherever it leads, cool. If not, that's fine, too. The days of me trying to convince people of what's going on here, long over. So now I just show up with a handful of receipts. Epstein was lying in a fetal position on the floor of his cell, wearing a T shirt and boxers. He was breathing heavily and was snoring. His neck was red with no abrasions. The report said Epstein was determined to have sustained a circular line of arithmia at the base of his neck and friction marks on the front of his neck. Yeah, because, you know, Epstein decided to try and kill himself with Tartaglioni sleeping on the floor. Sounds like a great plan. In a plot like Epstein's, a lot of things, or was a lot of things, stupid wasn't one of them. And if he was going to take himself out, I think he'd have a better plan. So, in my opinion, and I've said this from the very beginning, Nicholas Tartaglioni was there to send a message. And considering what happened a few weeks later, it would seem like that message was heard loud and clear. According to the report, Epstein alleged that his cellmate, Tartaglioni, had tried to kill him, an allegation he did not repeat. He later said he could not recall what happened. Tartaglioni has denied attempting to harm Epstein. Well, okay. Well, that's the end of it, right? Let's just trust Tartaglioni. People that are grasping for straws to try and have the official narrative be true are looking real foolish right now. Because if you're relying on Nicholas Tartaglioni as your source here, then I'm telling you right from the Jump. I don't believe what you're saying. And in my opinion, he wrote whatever note was found, but we'll never know, right, because the cameras just happened to not be working that night that were pointing at the cell. No big deal. Just another coincidence. Just another thing that happened to happen when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Tartaglioni first mentioned the existence of the purported suicide note in a podcast last year. Why is he on a podcast, first of all? Second of all, why does anyone care what Tartaglioni has to say? It's unbelievable. It's truly unbelievable. It said something like, FBI, you know, you looked into me for months and found nothing. Then he wrote, what do you want me to do, cry about it? And he was weird because he wrote a smiley face. And then he wrote, time to say goodbye. Tartaglioni said on the podcast, you mean you wrote it, right, Nick, you clown. And if anybody's out here supporting this dude, you too. Is that clear? Four time murderer. Oh, yeah, he got screwed by the system. No, just another scumbag involved in the drug game and decided that he had to be the big shot and take out his rivals for them stealing from him. And then you put that dude in a cell with one of the most prolific inmates in the country. That doesn't even happen in movies. That's like some from tango and cash, right? Oh, we'll send them to the jail and then we'll have people kill them. I mean, what are we even doing here? There was nobody else in the facility to put Epstein in a jail cell with. You have to use Nicholas Tartaglioni. And the wild part is people are buying it. People are actually out here buying what Tartaglioni has to say. Crazy work. Crazy ass work. The note is now part of a sealed file and Tartaglioni's criminal case. The New York Times on Thursday filed a petition with a federal judge to have the alleged note unsealed, arguing that Tartaglioni has publicly discussed it and that a two page chronology document about the alleged note was included in the justice department's recent disclosures of the Epstein files. U. S. District judge Kenneth Karras ordered the parties to the case to respond to the Times unsealing request by May 4. Federal prosecutors from the Southern district of New York did not know of any suicide note written by Epstein, sources familiar with the matter told ABC news. But a two page chart contained in the justice department's Epstein files referenced it sometime between 723 and 727. And t found the Note the chart said, referencing Nicholas Tartaglioni by his initials. The chart said Tartaglioni's lawyer, Bruce Barkett, authenticated the note in January 2020, but did not say how. So the only people who have authenticated this are Tartaglioni's team. And you want me to believe that now? For the regular people out there who are new to the story. Oh, this is a big story, right? It's a big bombshell. Five pages of Google News about this stupid note that Nicholas Tartaglioni wrote. Yeah, that's right. I said it. I don't believe his story. Okay, is that clear? Everybody out there got that? Good.

Reached by ABC News on Thursday, Barkett declined to comment because the matter is sealed. The entire Epstein affair as it relates to Nick is under seal, not just a supposed note. If there is one, Barett said. And why is that? Why is that? What does that have to do with Tartaglioni's case overall? Why would they seal it? To protect their boy? Right? Okay. Seems to me that that's the case and in my opinion, that's what we're looking at. Just another cog in the machine. Just another hustle performed on the American people. Just another aspect of the ongoing cover up. After the first possible suicide attempt, Epstein himself denied he was suicidal. During a suicide risk assessment he underwent while in jail. Inmate Epstein denied any past or present suicidal ideation, intention or plan. He denied ever engaging in any suicide attempts or self injurious behavior in the past, the evaluation said he stated he lives to have fun, to enjoy life and to learn. He said his future plans include fighting his case and going back to his normal life. Sounds like a guy that's trying to commit suicide, huh? So who are you going to listen to? Nicholas tartaglioni or what Epstein was telling his lawyers? I'm going to go with what Epstein was telling his lawyers. Epstein was taken off suicide watch the following day, July 24, 2019, but was kept on under psychological evaluation. Mr. Epstein stated, I have no interest in killing myself. A staff psychologist at the metropolitan correctional center wrote in a report. He explained although his situation is not perfect due to his being incarcerated, he noted he has lots to do for his legal case. He described having a wonderful life to include interactions with interesting people and projects. He said it would be crazy to take his life. He furthered, I would not do that to myself. And I have talked to literally a dozen people who knew the man who have said the same thing. Epstein, a wealthy financier who owned two private islands in the virgin islands, came under investigation for allegedly luring minor girls to his seaside home in palm beach, Florida for massage that turned sexual. Allegedly. No, he did it. Hey, James hill, the is wrong with you? Where do you get allegedly here? You want to use allegedly? Cool, talk about prince Andrew, but there's no allegedly here. These girls were brought to the island, they were brought to Florida, they were brought to New York, and they were abused. He served 13 months of an 18 month sentence for sex crimes charged after reaching a controversial non prosecution agreement in 2007 with the U. S. Attorney's office in Miami. In 2019, Epstein was indicted on charges that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York and palm beach, Florida, among other locations, and used cash payments to recruit a vast network of underage victims, some of whom were as young as 14 years old. Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on August 10, 2019. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging by the New York medical examiner's office, and the justice department concurred with that finding. Tar Taglioni was convicted in 2023 and sentenced in 2024 to four consecutive terms of life imprisonment. His appeal is currently pending before the second circuit of the court of appeals. Yeah, good luck, buddy. Enjoy your stay because you're not going anywhere. If you remember, we followed that trial and the evidence was overwhelming, just like I think the evidence is overwhelming that tartaglioni assaulted Epstein in that jail cell. And not only that, my guess is, my speculation is that he also wrote that note so we'll keep on keeping on. And when we have some more information about Tartaglioni and this Fugazi note, we'll get it added to the catalog. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.

The Epstein Chronicles

Episode: From Cellmate to Storyteller: Nicholas Tartaglione And The Claim That Epstein Left A Note
Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: July 29, 2026

Overview

In this episode, Bobby Capucci investigates the latest claims involving Jeffrey Epstein's time and apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), focusing on the role of Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione—a convicted quadruple murderer. Centering around a report that Tartaglione discovered a suicide note allegedly written by Epstein, Capucci dismisses the claim, arguing it's part of a broader pattern of evasiveness, cover-ups, and systemic corruption surrounding Epstein's death.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Skepticism About the Official Narrative

Capucci reiterates widespread doubts concerning the official account of Epstein’s death, emphasizing the evasiveness of MCC personnel during Office of Inspector General interviews.
- "There is still more questions than there are answers." (02:00)
The host expresses particular suspicion about the decision to place Tartaglione, an inmate who had just received an infraction for a cell phone, in the same cell as Epstein.
- "He should have never been in that cell... Instead of being punished, why was he rewarded by being put in a cell with Epstein?" (03:45)

2. The Alleged Suicide Note

ABC News reported that Tartaglione claimed to have found a suicide note from Epstein, written on yellow legal pad paper and hidden in a book.
- Host’s theory: The note was fabricated by Tartaglione himself for self-serving reasons, and there’s no credible evidence that Epstein actually wrote a note.
  - "Tartaglioni wrote that note, put it in the book, and had this whole plan ready to go." (05:15)
The note's supposed existence only benefits Tartaglione and is based solely on his word and his lawyer’s authentication.

3. Breakdown of Events and Mysterious Circumstances

Details from depositions and incident reports are dissected, with Capucci highlighting inconsistencies and “coincidences”—such as security cameras malfunctioning the night of Epstein’s death.
- "We’ll never know, right, because the cameras just happened to not be working that night..." (10:50)
Capucci is critical of those who uncritically accept Tartaglione’s version of events.
- "People are actually out here buying what Tartaglioni has to say. Crazy work. Crazy ass work." (11:55)

4. Lack of Real Investigation

The host argues investigations have focused on the wrong individuals, suggesting Congress and OIG should have brought all people involved in Epstein’s placement at the MCC before Congress under oath.
- "If I was a member of Congress, I wouldn't be wasting my time with Glenn Maxwell's ex boyfriend. Instead, I'd be calling up this unnamed lieutenant. The captains, all of the guards..." (04:45)

5. Contradictory Suicide Risk Evaluations

After his first alleged suicide attempt, Epstein repeatedly denied being suicidal in official assessments.
- "He stated he lives to have fun, to enjoy life and to learn. He said his future plans include fighting his case and going back to his normal life." (15:00)
Capucci finds these statements at odds with the narrative that Epstein wrote a suicide note or planned to take his own life.

6. Legal and Procedural Developments

Discussion of the New York Times' petition to unseal Tartaglione’s case file to access the alleged note.
- Judge Kenneth Karras has asked parties to respond to the petition, though so far all authentications of the note come from Tartaglione’s defense.
Update on Tartaglione: Now serving four life sentences and appealing, with Capucci expressing doubt about any hope of release.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On the OIG interviews:

"You could tell that the lieutenant that we're talking about right now wanted nothing to do with it... Of course he did [know]. But he was being evasive about it." (02:30)
On prison authorities placing Tartaglione with Epstein:

"You put that dude [Tartaglione] in a cell with one of the most prolific inmates in the country. That doesn't even happen in movies." (12:00)
On the alleged note's authenticity:

"The only people who have authenticated this are Tartaglioni's team. And you want me to believe that now?" (12:36)
On Epstein’s prison file:

"During a suicide risk assessment… He stated he lives to have fun, to enjoy life and to learn. He said his future plans include fighting his case and going back to his normal life." (15:00)

Tone and Language

The language and tone are direct, no-nonsense, and skeptical, with Capucci frequently using sarcasm, rhetorical questions, and a conversational style. He repeatedly invokes the idea of “following the evidence” and mocks those credulous of the establishment narrative.

Summary

Bobby Capucci’s episode lays out deep skepticism about both the MCC and Nicholas Tartaglione's role in the events leading to Jeffrey Epstein’s death. He dismisses the idea that Epstein left a suicide note, argues that Tartaglione’s account is self-serving and not credible, and points to repeated institutional evasions and gaps in oversight. For Capucci, the continued secrecy and lack of transparency—illuminated by the saga over the alleged note—reinforce suspicions of a coordinated cover-up rather than closure or clarity around Epstein’s death.

Epstein was lying in a fetal position on the floor of his cell, wearing a T shirt and boxers. He was breathing heavily and was snoring. His neck was red with no abrasions. The report said Epstein was determined to have sustained a circular line of arithmia at the base of his neck and friction marks on the front of his neck. Yeah, because, you know, Epstein decided to try and kill himself with Tartaglioni sleeping on the floor. Sounds like a great plan. In a plot like Epstein's, a lot of things, or was a lot of things, stupid wasn't one of them. And if he was going to take himself out, I think he'd have a better plan. So, in my opinion, and I've said this from the very beginning, Nicholas Tartaglioni was there to send a message. And considering what happened a few weeks later, it would seem like that message was heard loud and clear. According to the report, Epstein alleged that his cellmate, Tartaglioni, had tried to kill him, an allegation he did not repeat. He later said he could not recall what happened. Tartaglioni has denied attempting to harm Epstein. Well, okay. Well, that's the end of it, right? Let's just trust Tartaglioni. People that are grasping for straws to try and have the official narrative be true are looking real foolish right now. Because if you're relying on Nicholas Tartaglioni as your source here, then I'm telling you right from the Jump. I don't believe what you're saying. And in my opinion, he wrote whatever note was found, but we'll never know, right, because the cameras just happened to not be working that night that were pointing at the cell. No big deal. Just another coincidence. Just another thing that happened to happen when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Tartaglioni first mentioned the existence of the purported suicide note in a podcast last year. Why is he on a podcast, first of all? Second of all, why does anyone care what Tartaglioni has to say? It's unbelievable. It's truly unbelievable. It said something like, FBI, you know, you looked into me for months and found nothing. Then he wrote, what do you want me to do, cry about it? And he was weird because he wrote a smiley face. And then he wrote, time to say goodbye. Tartaglioni said on the podcast, you mean you wrote it, right, Nick, you clown. And if anybody's out here supporting this dude, you too. Is that clear? Four time murderer. Oh, yeah, he got screwed by the system. No, just another scumbag involved in the drug game and decided that he had to be the big shot and take out his rivals for them stealing from him. And then you put that dude in a cell with one of the most prolific inmates in the country. That doesn't even happen in movies. That's like some from tango and cash, right? Oh, we'll send them to the jail and then we'll have people kill them. I mean, what are we even doing here? There was nobody else in the facility to put Epstein in a jail cell with. You have to use Nicholas Tartaglioni. And the wild part is people are buying it. People are actually out here buying what Tartaglioni has to say. Crazy work. Crazy ass work. The note is now part of a sealed file and Tartaglioni's criminal case. The New York Times on Thursday filed a petition with a federal judge to have the alleged note unsealed, arguing that Tartaglioni has publicly discussed it and that a two page chronology document about the alleged note was included in the justice department's recent disclosures of the Epstein files. U. S. District judge Kenneth Karras ordered the parties to the case to respond to the Times unsealing request by May 4. Federal prosecutors from the Southern district of New York did not know of any suicide note written by Epstein, sources familiar with the matter told ABC news. But a two page chart contained in the justice department's Epstein files referenced it sometime between 723 and 727. And t found the Note the chart said, referencing Nicholas Tartaglioni by his initials. The chart said Tartaglioni's lawyer, Bruce Barkett, authenticated the note in January 2020, but did not say how. So the only people who have authenticated this are Tartaglioni's team. And you want me to believe that now? For the regular people out there who are new to the story. Oh, this is a big story, right? It's a big bombshell. Five pages of Google News about this stupid note that Nicholas Tartaglioni wrote. Yeah, that's right. I said it. I don't believe his story. Okay, is that clear? Everybody out there got that? Good.

True Crime Commentator
Reached by ABC News on Thursday, Barkett declined to comment because the matter is sealed. The entire Epstein affair as it relates to Nick is under seal, not just a supposed note. If there is one, Barett said. And why is that? Why is that? What does that have to do with Tartaglioni's case overall? Why would they seal it? To protect their boy? Right? Okay. Seems to me that that's the case and in my opinion, that's what we're looking at. Just another cog in the machine. Just another hustle performed on the American people. Just another aspect of the ongoing cover up. After the first possible suicide attempt, Epstein himself denied he was suicidal. During a suicide risk assessment he underwent while in jail. Inmate Epstein denied any past or present suicidal ideation, intention or plan. He denied ever engaging in any suicide attempts or self injurious behavior in the past, the evaluation said he stated he lives to have fun, to enjoy life and to learn. He said his future plans include fighting his case and going back to his normal life. Sounds like a guy that's trying to commit suicide, huh? So who are you going to listen to? Nicholas tartaglioni or what Epstein was telling his lawyers? I'm going to go with what Epstein was telling his lawyers. Epstein was taken off suicide watch the following day, July 24, 2019, but was kept on under psychological evaluation. Mr. Epstein stated, I have no interest in killing myself. A staff psychologist at the metropolitan correctional center wrote in a report. He explained although his situation is not perfect due to his being incarcerated, he noted he has lots to do for his legal case. He described having a wonderful life to include interactions with interesting people and projects. He said it would be crazy to take his life. He furthered, I would not do that to myself. And I have talked to literally a dozen people who knew the man who have said the same thing. Epstein, a wealthy financier who owned two private islands in the virgin islands, came under investigation for allegedly luring minor girls to his seaside home in palm beach, Florida for massage that turned sexual. Allegedly. No, he did it. Hey, James hill, the is wrong with you? Where do you get allegedly here? You want to use allegedly? Cool, talk about prince Andrew, but there's no allegedly here. These girls were brought to the island, they were brought to Florida, they were brought to New York, and they were abused. He served 13 months of an 18 month sentence for sex crimes charged after reaching a controversial non prosecution agreement in 2007 with the U. S. Attorney's office in Miami. In 2019, Epstein was indicted on charges that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York and palm beach, Florida, among other locations, and used cash payments to recruit a vast network of underage victims, some of whom were as young as 14 years old. Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on August 10, 2019. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging by the New York medical examiner's office, and the justice department concurred with that finding. Tar Taglioni was convicted in 2023 and sentenced in 2024 to four consecutive terms of life imprisonment. His appeal is currently pending before the second circuit of the court of appeals. Yeah, good luck, buddy. Enjoy your stay because you're not going anywhere. If you remember, we followed that trial and the evidence was overwhelming, just like I think the evidence is overwhelming that tartaglioni assaulted Epstein in that jail cell. And not only that, my guess is, my speculation is that he also wrote that note so we'll keep on keeping on. And when we have some more information about Tartaglioni and this Fugazi note, we'll get it added to the catalog. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
