What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest concerns that we've heard lately from people who are against full transparency is that they don't want people to have their reputations ruined. And look, I get that just because you were in a picture with Jeffrey Epstein at one point or Ghislaine Maxwell doesn't mean you were involved in their crimes. Doesn't mean you knew. But if somebody names you, as, you know, one of the executors of his estate, probably a good sign that you guys were pretty good friends, right? So when I talk about people that are enablers, when I talk about people that need to be outed and need to deal with the ramifications, these are the kind of people that I'm talking about. People like Larry Summers and Jess Staley who are named as co executors in a draft will. And even if it wasn't the final will that came into being, why would Jeffrey Epstein have these two guys as his executors if they weren't super close? And as far as Jess Staley goes, he's already admitted to having sex with one of Jeffrey Epstein's quote unquote staffers, whatever the that means. Or how about the Beauty and the Beast and the Sleeping Beauty emails? Or all the emails that Jess Daley was sending to Jeffrey Epstein. The whole entire chain is disgusting. But sure, let's worry about Jess Staley. Let's worry about his reputation. I'm sorry, but I don't care if your name's been mentioned in court documents, if you've been pointed to and credibly accused of taking part in the actual abuse, all of that should be put on blast. Why are we hiding it now? I can't talk for anybody else, but this is such a serious topic that there is no way that you should be messing around and alleging that people are involved in heinous crimes if they're not. That's why I'm very careful about what we talk about here on the podcast. I'm not here to ruin People's lives. This isn't fun for me. I don't like talking about people's personal lives. But unfortunately, the people that we're talking about here, they hold tremendous power and they hold tremendous sway over my everyday life. And that's not even hyperbole. How many of these people are in the financial world? Literally the people that are in control of what you can and can't do, financially speaking, unless you have a few million laying around to go buy a house or whatever you're trying to do. Is there a single entity more powerful than the financial sector? There is not. And these are the people that are in control of what's going on with our finances. They're the ones making the decisions on. On who's going to get a loan or insert financial rulings here. These are the people that are making the rules that we all abide by. But it's okay that they were hanging out with Epstein, enabling them, and in some cases, being involved in the abuse themselves. And you smarmy rats are going to sit here and worry about their reputation? Well, enjoy yourselves. Not on this podcast. Today's article is from the New York Post and the headline Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Summers, Jess Staley as Estate Executors in Draft Will's the DOJ Record Show. This article was authored by Ariel Zilber, Jeffrey Epstein and Jess Staley and Lawrence Summers as executors of his estate in Draftwill's newly released Justice Department Record Show, a revelation that brings fresh scrutiny to the late pedophile and financiers ties to powerful men. You know, the stuff we've been telling you for years. All of a sudden people are so shocked to hear about Jess Staley. Who's this Jess Staley guy? I heard somebody on MSNBC, or Ms. Now, whatever it's called, say that the other day. Like, haven't you been paying attention? Oh, that's right, you haven't been. Because if you were listening to the survivors, you know, the ones that you were trying to quash, the ones that you were trying to silence by not putting them on your network for all these years. If you just listen to them, you would have known. But instead, now you're playing catch up and you're wondering who Jess Staley is. One of Jeffrey Epstein's number one enablers. One of Jeffrey Epstein's number one guys. As John McClane said in Die Hard, welcome to the party, pal. The documents unsealed this week is part of the Justice Department release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act Show. Epstein designated Staley, the former Barclays chief executive, and Summers, the former U. S. Treasury secretary and ex Harvard president, for key roles in managing his estate. Because, you know, they hardly knew him. No idea who Epstein is, and we have no idea certainly, as to why he'd name us as executors of his estate. You guys believe that, right? Right. Staley was first named in January of 2012 as a successor executor tasked with carrying out Epstein's will if the primary executors could not serve other. According to records cited by the financial Times, Staley also appeared as a full executor in two subsequent wills dated September 2013 and November 2014. Can anyone explain to me why Jess Staley hasn't been called by congress yet? Oh, that's right. They're not really interested in getting to the bottom of it, are they? They don't want to shake the financial systems tree. How are they going to pay their bills? How they going to continue ruining our lives via proxy? Because that's what happens. Do you really think that after 2008 with the economic collapse, that none of these bankers should have went to prison? They all should have just skated home with their golden parachutes as all of our parents and our friends and our relatives and co workers had to pick up the pieces. But these people, forget it. Epstein walked away with a cool 200 million or so in the wake of the financial disaster that that helped create. But sure, tell me again about their reputations. I'm sure that's going to bring comfort to your aunt Joan who lost her life savings in her home in 2008. Well, at least their reputations are defended. Like, do you people even hear yourselves? Willing to just debase yourself in the most disgusting kind of way to defend one man who. Who doesn't give a goddamn about you? The second will also listed Summers as a successor executor. Neither man appeared in Epstein's final will from 2019, which also included in the DOJ release. Well, yeah, that was indyken Khan, and obviously there was a reason for that. At that point, Epstein knew he was cooked and he knew that eventually these documents and records were going to get in the hands of people. So he'd rather have his trusted advisors in Dyke and Khan, his two inside men, be in charge of everything that came in the aftermath. He couldn't trust somebody like Jess Daley or somebody like Larry Summers to administer the estate correctly, to protect things that needed to be protected, and to pay people off who needed to be paid off. The Only people that really knew what was going down. As far as the ins and outs of what Epstein was up to all these years in Dyke and Khan, baby, they were the ones on the inside. Every year, year after year, decade after decade. Neither man appeared in Epstein's final will from 2019, which also included in the DOJ release. Staley's lawyer and Summers were approached for comment. According to the Financial Times. The disclosure Lanza Staley continues to face fallout over his relationship with Epstein, which regulators and courts have concluded he he repeatedly downplayed. I didn't need a trial for that. I told you all of that years ago. And not because I'm some kind of genius. But you just have to follow the evidence, right? You build the circumstantial evidence, and then from there, that's how you build the framing of the house. And when you start adding all the evidence up and you follow along the way we do, it's rather obvious who is doing what. Now, that is not a slam dunk, we're going to get a conviction type of deal. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is if I can put those pieces together and put the case together, don't tell me there's not enough circumstantial evidence to investigate, and I mean really investigate, everybody involved. A robust investigation, that's all I've ever asked for from the very beginning. I don't have any scores to settle here, politically or otherwise. But I'll be damned if I sit here silent and just let this happen. There's no way. There is no way. So I'll continue to scream into the void like I've been doing for the last six years, even before this got popular. Because there's something deeply, deeply and disturbingly wrong with the people who would rule over us. And I'm not talking about some fake cabal. I'm not talking about pizza shop fantasies. I'm talking about these people right here. And I think one of the biggest takeaways is the window that has opened up for people to take a look at how these people move, how they act, how they behave. And of course, again, that doesn't make them all guilty of being part of Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring. But it does make them all morally culpable. And if it makes me the asshole, because I want answers and I want accountability, fine. That's a title I'll wear proudly. I'm not here to make friends or industry connections or any of that. I don't care about any of it. So I'm gonna keep popping off until the popping off has to end. And when that day comes, believe me when I tell you there's a lot of other I'd like to talk to you about, whether it has to do with politics, day to day life, sports, whatever, there's other things in the world. But as of right now, this is the most pressing matter, in my opinion, not only in the country, but the world. Look at the people that are ruling over us, folks. And if that doesn't scare you shitless, I have no idea what will. Because if you think people like this care about you or your children, you are sadly mistaken. The ban bar Staley from holding senior roles in the UK financial services industry. In court testimony, Staley sought to distance himself from Epstein while by describing their connection as a close professional relationship. Absolute bullocks, as they'd say across the pond as he's sitting in Jeffrey Epstein's hot tub having relations with one of Epstein's quote unquote assistants. Again, I want to know what that means. Who's the assistant? Did she do it willingly? Was she coerced? Was she paid? Again, I don't know. But I have questions. And I have to tell you, if you're somebody that has a flatulence problem and the room's always smelling like farts, you're gonna be the first person I look at, bro, and I don't want to hear no. Why do you always blame me? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that you're farting all the time. In March, he told the court that he turned down a request from Epstein to serve as a trustee of his estate, arguing that the refusal showed the two men were not personally close. The fact that he would ask you in the first place, Bro, you kidding me right now? They really think you're stupid. In fact, they depend on it. Please, please don't prove them right. And by that I mean don't fall for their tactics of diversion and for chasing salacious side quests, because make no mistake, that's exactly what they want. They want you out here being confused and exhausted. Under the terms of Epstein's estate planning, Executors of the will and trustees of the estate will were separate roles. The 2019 letter at the center of Staley's regulatory case stated that he did not have a close relationship with Epstein. In that document, the chair of Barclays told the fca, Jess has confirmed to us that he did not have a close relationship with Mr. Epstein. Regulators and judges later found that characterization Misleading. Summers, meanwhile, has faced renewed criticism of over his own dealings with Epstein, following a steady stream of disclosures detailing the extent of their relationship. Just another scumbag, folks. Okay? Another one of these guys that ran around like he had the moral high ground over all of us, while at the same time enjoying Jeffrey Epstein's largesse and again, God knows what else. At this point, I have no idea. I don't know what they were up to. I have no idea what they were doing. But here's what I do know. They were together. They were close. And Mr. Summers has never explained why. Emails released by a congressional committee last month showed Summers maintained a relationship with Epstein until 2019, the year Epstein died by suicide, allegedly in a New York jail. In response to those disclosures, Summers said he was deeply ashamed of the relationship. He stepped back from public commitments, including serving on the board of directors of OpenAI, his role at think tanks, and his teaching duties at Harvard University, where he's been tenured professor since 1983. The new DOJ release that included the executor designation largely consisted of material tied to the judicial proceedings surrounding Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal trafficking charges related to Epstein's abuse of underage girls. The document dump also included unusual and previously disclosed items connected to Epstein's efforts to conceal his movements and identity. Among them was an Austrian passport issued in 82 that bore Epstein's photograph but listed a different name. Something you all knew about as well because we talked about it, but now we have documentation backing it up. And this is what I've been talking about, that we're going to get receipts and were getting them. The passport was found in a safe in Epstein's mansion along with 48 diamonds, according to the records. In 2019, lawyers for the creep said he acquired the passport in the 1980s when hijackings were prevalent for travel connected to the Middle East. Yeah, okay. Had nothing to do with his other life working as an asset. Right. A prosecutor investigating Epstein later identified an Austrian national with the same name as the one on the passport. The man was living in New York. No big deal there either, right? Let's not have any investigation, no follow up. I wonder why. Investigators recommended contacting the individual to ask whether he had any reason to know why a passport from his native country bearing his name would feature Epstein and Epstein's photograph to be stored in Epstein's safe. The Financial Times said it approached the Austrian man for comment. The latest disclosures are part of a broader release of thousands of unclassified documents ordered under the Epstein Files Transparency act, which was enacted last month and compelled the Justice Department to turn over material related to the disgraced financier pedophile. In July of 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges and and pleaded not guilty. He died by suicide, allegedly weeks later at the Metropolitan Correctional center in Manhattan, according to the New York City Medical examiner and subsequent DOJ Inspector General report that detailed extensive jailhouse failures. Jailhouse failures that still haven't been addressed, by the way. But go ahead, bang on about the OIG report. Another reason why we talked about that ad nauseam. It was a bunch of bs. This whole entire thing has been a bunch of bs. The only difference now is that a lot of people know that the circus is in town and they have tickets.
