Kleenex Boxes and Hidden Lenses: Inside Epstein’s Surveillance Web

Podcast: The Epstein Chronicles
Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: June 2, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Bobby Capucci explores the latest revelations on Jeffrey Epstein’s use of hidden surveillance cameras installed across his properties. Focusing on recently unearthed emails and reports, Capucci critically examines how these covert devices were utilized, who may have been involved, and highlights the ongoing failures of law enforcement and the judicial system to recognize or act on this evidence. The discussion delves deep into the implications for both Epstein’s victims and his inner circle of alleged co-conspirators, opening up questions about the true extent of this criminal enterprise and its cover-up.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Confirmation of Surveillance: New Evidence

Start—03:15:
Capucci opens by addressing long-standing skepticism about Epstein's surveillance network and states that new evidence has emerged, confirming what many survivors have claimed for years:

“All the people out there who said that Jeffrey Epstein had no kind of surveillance cameras in his house and wasn't recording anyone were wrong once again… now we have emails of Jeffrey Epstein ordering Larry Vasoski…to go to the spy shop and purchase cameras.” (00:18)
The host references an email where Epstein instructs pilot Larry Vasoski to obtain cameras, which were then hidden in everyday objects like Kleenex boxes and clocks.

2. The Role and Knowledge of Larry Vasoski (Epstein’s Pilot)

03:16—08:11:
Capucci questions the narrative presented by Vasoski—that he was merely Epstein’s pilot and unaware of illicit activities:

“You mean to tell me the pilot that was flying these girls around, the pilot that was putting spy cameras in Jeffrey Epstein's houses, isn't somebody that's part of the conspiracy... All right, cool. Keep that in mind next time you go after the Mafia.” (02:55)
Vasoski was deeply involved, even receiving property from Epstein and arranging family events like his daughter’s wedding at Zorro Ranch.
Capucci is adamant that Vasoski and others in Epstein’s inner circle cannot credibly claim ignorance.

3. What the Newly Released Emails Reveal

08:12—13:10:
- Cites a February 2014 email where Epstein asks Vasoski for “three motion detected hidden cameras that record.”
- Vasoski replies that he has purchased two cameras and is “installing them into Kleenex boxes now.”
“It’s amazing how small they are…they could record for 64 hours. I'm installing them into Kleenex boxes now. I'll bring them by later today.” (Capucci quoting Vasoski, 10:34)

4. The Larger Ecosystem of Epstein's Co-Conspirators

13:11—17:15:
Capucci broadens criticism to include other key figures: Darren Indyke, Richard Khan, Sarah Kellen Vickers, Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, and more.

“All of these people that were in the inner circle, all these people that spent all this time with Jeffrey Epstein… I call them co-conspirators, they all knew what was going on…” (12:48)
He argues that if these figures were not protected by wealth and privilege, they likely would have been indicted under RICO statutes—unlike what happened to many organized crime groups.

5. Surveillance Evidence Contradicting Official Narratives

17:16—23:42:
Capucci discusses the discrepancy between what has been found and what the FBI and DOJ assert:

“The presence of those cameras conflicts with what federal law enforcement officials have said in the past…” (17:38)
Mentions multiple sources and previous reports of hidden cameras in Epstein’s residences (New York townhouse and Palm Beach home), as well as official denials from authorities.
- Claims the FBI found only entryway cameras, not those in bedrooms or main living spaces, which Capucci directly disputes.
“Look, that clearly is not the case. So I don't know why they're saying that… There most certainly was [surveillance]. So the FBI is going to have to answer for that as well. Just another lie.” (20:12)

6. Motivation and Use of the Surveillance

23:43—25:28:
Asserts that the only logical explanation for the widespread, covert surveillance was blackmail or gathering leverage on powerful visitors:

“It wasn’t to record happy moments, okay? Those cameras were put there to record people without their knowledge, point blank period.” (04:15)
- Capucci refers to survivor testimony and extensive anecdotal evidence suggesting this was common knowledge among those who frequented Epstein’s properties.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On the lack of law enforcement action:

“If they were Italian, they would have got hit with RICO and they would have ended up underneath the prison… I know people that have spent half a decade in prison over so called illegal gambling. But people like Larry Vasoski…get to walk free…” (13:45)
On survivor credibility:

“Once again, the survivors who have claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was filming people and that he had surveillance all throughout the house have once again proven to be correct.” (01:09)
On official obfuscation:

“So the FBI can tell us whatever they want, but once again, the facts destroy their narrative.” (25:00)

What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Well, well, well. All the people out there who said that Jeffrey Epstein had no kind of surveillance cameras in his house and wasn't recording anyone were wrong once again, because now we have emails of Jeffrey Epstein ordering Larry Vasoski, who's his pilot, to go to the spy shop and purchase cameras. And then those cameras, at least some of them, were inserted into Kleenex boxes and clocks. So what was that for? Was it just for basic security needs? Or was Jeffrey Epstein collecting information on people without their knowledge? And obviously, that's what he was doing. And now we have those receipts. So, once again, the survivors who have claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was filming people and that he had surveillance all throughout the house have once again proven to be correct. Watch. The next narrative will be by people like Anna Paulina Luna that these girls put the cameras there themselves. That'll be the next narrative in the victim blaming parade. But the truth. The truth is that Epstein most certainly had the whole ass place wired up. And that goes for all of his properties. And another question, maybe for another time, but certainly a question that needs to be answered, is how much did Larry Vassoski know and when did he know it? Remember, we're talking about a man who was given property on Zorro Ranch, a man whose daughter was married on Zorro Ranch, a man that was doing a lot more for Jeffrey Epstein than just flying him around. And that's why when we went through the deposition that Vasski gave, it was complete and utter horseshit. Everything he was talking about was obviously a lie. And the whole entire I have no idea what Jeffrey was up to routine was a bunch of bs? You mean to tell me the pilot that was flying these girls around, the pilot that was putting spy cameras in Jeffrey Epstein's houses, isn't somebody that's part of the conspiracy. All right, cool. Keep that in mind next time you go after the Mafia. Because if it's good for them, it's certainly good for Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. Today's article is from the Seattle Times, and the headline, epstein Directed aid to Obtain Hidden Video Cameras. This article was authored by David Enrich and Deborah Kammin. Jeffrey Epstein directed one of his aides to obtain hidden video cameras, apparently to be set up in his home in Palm Beach, Florida. According to a recently released 2014 email, the Purpose of the camera was not clear, but a number of Epstein's victims have said they suspected they were being recorded. It wasn't clear. The purpose is not clear. Maybe to people that don't know the story, but to those of you listening here, you already know what these cameras were for. And I don't think we're taking too big of a leap when we say that, right? We know that his house was wired up no matter what the FBI tells us. I mean, how many people have we heard it from? How many people that have been at Epstein's house have told us? Or how about what Mr. Scully told us? That guy came in and set the whole system up. So I don't want to hear anything from anybody about Jeffrey Epstein not having his places wired up. He most certainly did. And it wasn't to record happy moments, okay? Those cameras were put there to record people without their knowledge, point blank period. That is fuel speculation that he was collecting compromising information on his powerful acquaintances, though no evidence has emerged to prove those claims. Let's get three motion detected hidden cameras that record Epstein wrote to Larry Vasoski, his longtime pilot, who said at times he set up audio and video equipment for Epstein in his residences. And remember in the deposition when he was talking about that? So crazy. So not only are you the pilot, but you're also moonlighting as the AV guy. You're going out and buying stuff for TVs, buying TVs, purchasing TVs, the whole thing. Meanwhile, you want to tell us you really have no idea what's going on? Listen, folks, Larry Vasoski, right up there with Indyk and Khan. As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to people who know what was going on behind the scenes, and I would contend people like Indyke and Khan have more relevant information when it comes to the financial structure than Galaine Maxwell. And if you really want to get justice and, and you want to bring people to account, gotta follow that money. Vasoski replied that he had already purchased two motion sensor cameras from the store that sold surveillance equipment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and was in the process of figuring out how they worked. It's amazing how small they are, he wrote, adding that they could record for 64 hours. I'm installing them into Kleenex boxes now. I'll bring them by later today. Baski did not respond to a request for comment. You're not going to get anything from him. That dude already knows that he escaped by the skin of his teeth. So he's not going to give up anything ever. But he should. And he's another person that should be deposed. All of these people that were in the inner circle, all these people that spent all this time With Jeffrey Epstein, all these people that he calls employees, I call them co conspirators, they all knew what was going on and they all continued to go forward with the plan, with the plot in hopes of enriching themselves one way or the other. And if that included destroying people's lives, little kids lives and girls, so what? Who cares as long as they get theirs. So people like Larry Bassowski, people like Darren Endyke, people like Richard Khan, people like people like Sarah Kellen Vickers, people like Adriana Ross, people like Leslie Groff, all of those people should have been arrested. All of them should have been indicted and they all should have faced trial. I promise you, if they were Italian, they would have got hit with rico and they would have ended up underneath the prison. And I can tell you that from personal experience, I've seen it. I know people that have spent half a decade in prison over so called illegal gambling. But people like Larry Vasoski, who was instrumental in this gigantic trafficking ring and this money laundering ring, he gets to walk free even though there's tons of evidence, circumstantial or not, that tie him to what happened. The February 2014 email, which was previously reported by the Telegraph, is the latest indication that Epstein is installed surveillance cameras inside his home. Last summer, the New York times published photos that showed a camera mounted in the corner of the master bedroom in his palatial New York City townhouse. Another was nestled in the moldings of an adjoining room. The times also reviewed a photo that showed a camera near a suite of bathrooms on the same floor as Epstein's bedroom. But remember, according to the FBI and the doj, no surveillance took place. There was nothing even close to surveillance going on. And didn't cash Patel tell us that when he was sitting in front of congress? A word. He perjured himself. He lied. Who would ever guess that? Cash Patel. A guy would never lie. How in the hell is he gonna get to Valhalla if he's telling lies? The presence of those cameras conflicts with what federal law enforcement officials have said in the past. Last march, for example, federal prosecutors in Manhattan provided top FBI officials with descriptions of the video evidence that investigators had recovered from Epstein's properties. The email said that when FBI agents raided his New York and u. S. Virgin islands homes after he was charged with sex trafficking, they searched for surveillance cameras. My understanding from the case agent is, is that there were no cameras found inside any bedrooms or living areas of either residents, read the email, which was recently released by the justice department. The email added that the only Camera the FBI found were near the residence entryways. Look, that clearly is not the case. So I don't know why they're saying that there was no cameras there or that there wasn't any surveillance. There most certainly was. So the FBI is going to have to answer for that as well. Just another lie. The Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Epstein, over the years, discussed surveillance cameras in various contexts. In a 2012 email, he asked an acquaintance to please suggest some web enabled security surveillance cameras. Three years later, someone emailed them a link to an article in a British newspaper that raised the possibility of Epstein secretly filming guests via hidden bedroom cameras. All made up. Epstein replied, they just write what they want. Well, Jeffrey Epstein is a notorious liar, and I don't believe a word that he says. So I'm gonna side with the people who were there who said that they saw these cameras and that they knew that surveillance was taking place. In 2005, as the police in Palm beach were investigating Epstein for raping and sexually abusing girls, detectives searched his home. A police official later wrote in an incident report that he located two covert hidden cameras. Both were stashed inside clocks, one in Epstein's garage and the other beside his desk. At the time of his 2019 arrest, a room in Epstein's New York house, down a hallway from the grand foyer, had monitors that were apparently hooked up to video cameras trained on the outside and entryway of Epstein's house. According to photos reviewed by the Times, a red sign on the door read 24 hour video surveillance. Look, in my opinion, I think there is more than enough evidence to prove that Epstein had the whole place wired up. Now, we can debate what he did with that information, but as far as it being wired up, I don't think there's any debate at all. And I think these emails go a long way in proving that Jeffrey Epstein was, in fact, using hidden cameras to record everything that was going on in all of his homes. And so the FBI can tell us whatever they want, but once again, the facts destroy their narrative. And. And the more receipts that are unearthed, the more the decimation of their narrative is complete. All right, folks, that's gonna do it for this one.
