What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode we're picking up with the Maritza Vasquez deposition talking about MC Squared, Jean Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein. Once again, Bradley Edwards is doing the questioning and Ms. Vasquez is doing the answering. Question okay, what was Jeffrey Epstein getting out of MC Squared? Answer the only thing that I can think he was getting was the girls. Nothing else because he has all the money. Question and the company wasn't making money anyway. Answer no Question and you know, the company wasn't making money. Vasquez it wasn't at all. At all. So the only thing that he was, I believe that he wanted to get involved was because of the girls. That's it. Pero he wanted to do it legally, like girls coming here, even if they were underage or whatever with visas. Question because the modeling industry is one of those industries where there is a lot of girls underage coming into the country, right? Answer yes. That's pretty easy. Access to underage girls. Yes. And they come into the country and they don't have their parents. Yes. Question so they don't really have any parental supervision while they're here. Vasquez not at all. Question so the modeling industry is one that some guys use that to get underage girls and that's happened for a long time, right? Answer yes. Question so is what Jean Luc Brunel still does. Answer yes. Question still uses it to get underage girls to sleep with. Really? Right? Vasquez yes. Question and Jeffrey Epstein too. Vasquez I cannot tell you that because I don't know. I know if there is, there is some kind of relationship, I believe they will or he will, you know, he still does it. But I don't know. I cannot tell you that because I was never, I was never what I can say what I know because I was with that person for the longest was with Jean Luc Brunel. The same thing that I can tell you that even if he has a daughter, whatever I put my hands on fire, that Jeff Fuller is gay. Question okay, and Jean Luc, you saw him use cocaine at work? Vasquez not in the office, but sometimes he was coming to the office, like with blood and coming from the nose and white things here that he had to go, oh, you go and clean yourself or whatever, you know. Question Would he talk about his cocaine addiction? Vasquez not directly, but he was a box properly. Everyone knew about that. And he was the one, the kind of person who didn't feel ashamed to tell. For example, Sergio was there and I was here and he was there, and he was like, Sergio was go and get me the best one, you know. And Sergio was going and going to get it for him. Question so he didn't really hide the fact that he used cocaine? Vasquez no, no. But not in the office, not in front of the bookers. Question where is the office in New York? Answer 6 West Street. And do you know what Khalid is doing now? Vasquez. No. Question is, is he in Miami? Vasquez yes, he's in Miami. Question do you have his number? Vasquez no, I don't have his number. Question how about Mike Sanka? Vasquez Mike Sanka, he's in California. Question what did he do? Vasquez he represents. He represents artists, players. He's like a manager. Question did he have any role in procuring underage girls for anybody? Vasquez Never. No, not at all. How about Arnaud Brunel? He is Jean Luc's brother. Is he here in Miami? No. Where is he? Vasquez, France. Has he ever been here in Miami? Yes. When's the last time you talked to him? Has it been a while? Vasquez 2006. No, 2003. Question okay, is he close with Jean Luc? Answer no. Well, he's his brother, you know. Question yeah, Vasquez. There is a blood relation there, but I can tell you it's like oil and water. Two different persons, two different heads, two different mentalities. Question who are the people? Answer A gentleman and a beast. Mr. Arnaud Brunel is a gentleman, a very correct person, very transparent. And. And the other is the opposite. Do you know a guy named Etienne? Etienne Rey. He was another partner of Jean Luc and Carron's, another gentleman, another real good person, actually. Jean Luc Screw him. When he took him out of Karen's, he closed Karen's Here in Miami without Mr. Etienne's knowledge. Question and if we talk to Etienne, he would not have nice things to say about Jean Luc Vasquez? No, not at all. Question what about? Answer Ruth. Question who is that? Answer Ruth, the other lady in Paris. It's the same thing. She will tell you everything. Jean Luc came from Paris. Question how do you spell her name? Vasquez? I don't know her name. Her last name? I don't know. Her name is Ruth. R U, T, H. Because if he stay in Paris, he had to pay taxes and. And this and that. Everything that he was avoiding. Question who? Jean Luc? Answer by Vasquez yeah, Jean Luc. Question do you know how he and Jeffrey Epstein became friends? Answer no Question. Or why they became friends? Answer by Vasquez no question. I mean, other than underage girls, what else do those two have in common? Answer by Vasquez that's the only thing I believe. And it's very, you know, like I saw Mr. Epstein once in a gym, in a church. Very simple. And you see Jean Luc in the same place. And you see Jean Luc with a Prada pants and with Gucci T shirt and with a Dolce Gabbana sunglasses. It's like two different characters. Question and how many girls at one time would MC2 have under them? A lot. Like over 200 or 300. Question other than the one time where four girls were taken to Jeffrey's house and all four of those girls were underage at the time, right? Vasquez? Answer yes. Question they were 14 or 15 at the time? Vasquez? Yeah. 15, 16, 14, something like that. Question Other than that time, what other occasion? Jog your memory. Think this through. Have you known of Jeffrey Epstein to be in the same vicinity as any of the models? Was there ever a time Jean Luc says, hey, Jeffrey is coming up to New York this weekend, we're going to hang out at the apartment or Jeffrey Epstein is this. No, never. Jean Luc never mentioned his name until 2003, when actually Mr. Epstein got involved. To me, you know, to me prior to that. One more time. You can talk to Eve. She knew Jeffrey Epstein prior. Prior to me before you did. Yes. And she has seen him more often than you have. Answer. Of course. Because she was in New York all the time. She lives in New York and I never lived there. I was like commuting once a week in New York, two weeks in Miami. One week in New York, two weeks in Miami. Question Are you leaving to go to Colombia soon? Vasquez To Peru. Question To Peru Vasquez? Yeah. Question when? Vasquez? The 24th. And do you know when you're going to be back? The 28th. All right. Like I said, I would hope to think that this whole thing, that your involvement is completely done. However, there is one case that Jeffrey Epstein is not settled right now that could go to trial. If it went to trial, then we could be called at trial, but it's highly unlikely that that's going to happen. I'm just letting you know that it's a possibility. Emmy Taylor, do you know who that is? No. Claire Hazel? No. Joelle Pashkow? No. Question. Lynn Fontanella? No. Question. Sophie Biddle? No Question. Cindy Lopez. Cindy Lopez. I know I did mention her because I didn't remember her name. Now you say it. Cindy Lopez was a girl who was working for Karen's. She was not underage, but she was a young girl. She was working for Karen's. She was studying and she was living at Jeffrey Epstein's apartment. She was living at his place. Question and what was her involvement with Jean Luc and. Or Jeffrey Epstein? Answer. She was working at Karen's. Question. Okay. As a model? No, she was an employee. Question. She traveled on his airplane with him a lot. Yeah, because she's a personal friend of Jeffrey. She was living in his place. Question. Anything else about that? Answer no. Question about her. Answer no. Question. Inca duri. Answer no. Question. Any other people that you know that were living in that apartment at any time? Vasquez? No. Question. Other than the people that you named already, which are now Cindy Lopez, Juliana Barboza and. And Alina Weaver. Answer. I don't think Alina lived there. Alina was living in one of the models apartments that we rent because besides those two apartments, we rent apartments in New York for the girls. Question. Who decides whether the girls live. He's interrupted by Vasquez. Jean Luc. Question. Jean Luc decides whether the Girls live at 301 that's owned by Jeffrey Epstein or the other apartments that are rented by MC Squared. Yeah. Question and how does he make that determination? He's the owner. Question. Oh, but I mean, what are the qualifications? I mean, if he likes the girl or they're underage or. Answer no. If they were like good girls, girls that they could make money, they were living in an expensive place. If they, like, were regular girls, they were living in shitty places. Okay, but which one is Jeffrey Epstein's place? An expensive place. Okay, so the better models were living there. Yes. Redacted. Do you know who that is? No. Did you ever meet with Naomi Campbell? No question. Did you know that she was friends with Jeffrey Epstein? No question. Did you ever meet Leslie Wexner? That's the woman that's involved with Mr. Epstein? No. No. Leslie Wexner is the owner of Victoria's Secret. No. Did you ever hear anything about Jeffrey Epstein's relationship? Who he was with, male, female, or a person's name? I knew because Eve told me that he had a relationship with a woman, that her father was very wealthy and that's how he started his own money. And if you tell me the name, maybe I can remember, but I don't. He trails off. Ghislaine Maxwell? Yes. And her father was Robert Maxwell? Yes. Other than that relationship, are you aware of any other relationships of Jeffrey Epstein? No.

Question how many times are you aware of Jean Luc bringing underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein's home in Palm Beach? While I was there, when I was working with them, maybe, maybe two, three times a year. The last year, you know, 2003, 2004, 2005. And how would you know? Not prior to that. How would you know that Jean Luc was taking underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein's house? Answer. Because he was saying in the office, there is a party at Jeffrey's house. I'm taking the girls and the girls. And they were in town, they were underage girls. Question we're still talking about 14, 15. Answer by Vasquez. 16, yeah. Question 16 at the oldest. Answer, yeah, and they were going, the other girls too, but he, he personally was taking the little ones because the other ones, they could go in their own cars or whatever, you know, with their boyfriends. Question. Did you ever say anything to him or about taking underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein's house? Answer. You know, as a mother, I always told him that they were underage girls and he was saying, oh, that I'm their father. Question. But you knew what was going on? Not really. Not really? Not really. Not that. Because I would never think that they were going to a party and I didn't know Mr. Epstein in that scenario. You know, I know Jean Luc was crazy or is crazy, but. But not stupid to be with those particular girls because these girls were coming from a very good friend of him in Brazil. Question and who is that? Answer and he didn't. I don't remember her name. The mother agent of these four girls. I gave it to you before. I don't remember her name. It's a black woman. Question it's not Kashe. Answer no. What's her name? Question Because I have that, that part of the report right here stating that Brunel had a connection with a young Brazilian woman, but I don't have the name of that person. Answer no. He was having a connection with a woman in Brazil that she was giving him prostitutes when he needed it. Question. That woman in Brazil was giving Jean Luc prostitutes. Answer. Real prostitutes when he needed it. Question how old were these prostitutes? Answer I don't know. I don't know because I was never in Brazil with him or, or nothing like that. Answer. In Brazil. Question. In Brazil that was in Brazil. Question. Was Jeffrey involved in these? Answer. Jeffrey Epstein was going to Brazil because he was one or two clients that was from there. So they were going, they were meeting there and everything like that. Question. So you know of at least occasions where Jeffrey Epstein and Jean Luc were in Brazil? Answer Yes. And there was a particular person that would provide prostitutes for them. Yeah, because one time I know because Jean Luke said it to me openly. What did he say? That that woman was giving him? Not models, they were prostitutes. In my notes, it Says underage prostitutes. Is that something that. Yeah, maybe they were underage girls, like 16, 17, 18. All right, we're going to wrap up right here, and in the next episode, we're going to pick up where we left off. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up where we left off with the deposition given by Maritza Vasquez talking about Jean Luc Brunel, MC2, and Jeffrey Epstein. Once again, Bradley Edwards is asking questions and Ms. Vasquez is doing the answering. Question Ms. Vasquez stated, Tell me if you agree with this, that Brunel would have her prepare a list on weekly basis that cover changing out or replacing the girls staying in Epstein's apartment and providing them with living expenses as well. And then it goes on saying that he charged them rent. Vasquez. Yeah, yeah. He was the one who said, who stays in what apartment? And actually what he said is like, ABC stays in Jeffrey's apartment. So that was the order. That's it. So the rest, Eve was supposed to put in whatever she wanted. Question the notes indicate that you were talking about Nadia Marcinkova being a Russian, 14 years old, that lived in Epstein's apartment. Vasquez. No, I never said that. Question you aren't there then? Answer no, I never said that. So whoever wrote that, I was never. She's cut off. Question this is written off typing notes because obviously we didn't have a reporter to get it down. So that's why I wanted to get her here so that we know exactly what your story is. It would make it easier. Answer I heard of that girl and I remember clearly that it was a problem with her visa and that's why she. I remember there was an end of the year and I was with Eve in New York and she was like, really upset because they were like mistreating her because of that, the fact that they were blaming her for the papers doing it incorrectly. And then Eve told me, you know, that girl never worked. She was never a model. She was living in his place, but she disappeared. So she actually was never working as a model. Question Nadia, answer. Yeah. Question and that's just something Eve knows because Eve was there. Vasquez. Yes. Question all right, do you know where Eve works now? Answer At Hope Community. Question what's that? Answer It's a government organization in New York. Question has she spoken to the FBI? Vasquez. I don't Know. Question have you been contacted by the FBI or any government agency related to to Jeffrey Epstein Vasquez, FBI? Question the FBI? Answer yes. Question when was that? Answer in 2008. Question 2008. Answer yes. Question and where did you meet with them? Vasquez? In my office at the Four Ambassadors. Question at the Four Ambassadors. That's where Sergio is too, right? Answer yes. Question so do you still see Sergio? Answer I spoke with him sometimes once in a while. Question Did Sergio have to speak with the FBI as well? I don't know. Question do you know anybody else that spoke with the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein? I don't know. I don't think Eva has spoke with him, with them. I don't know. Question and what did you tell the FBI? Vasquez? I told them everything. That the same thing that I knew at that time, even had maybe more information. I gave everything from Amanda and everything like that. But the lady. Question Nesbitt. Answer yeah, Nesbitt. That was her name. She was like, I told you, you have to go, go to Immigration. I say, go visit over there. And when I called her once, she told me, you know what I need? I need fact, I need proof, I need girls. I, I say, well, I'm giving you the tools that I have. There's nothing else that I can, I cannot create something because I don't create a story. I tell you what is this is the fact. You go, you can use this to also do something else. But if your point is, you know, minor accusations like underage girls being with them in bed, I'm not going to say anything because I don't know. I wasn't there. I don't know what I heard. My ears heard. You heard. She heard whatever question from Jean Luc is the only person you heard it? Yeah. Question. Or Evelyn? Yes, that's it. Who probably heard it from Jean Luc and who probably heard it from Jeffrey's office? I don't know. Okay, but in terms of the things that happened at Jeffrey's house or homes around the country, you don't know? Answer Nothing. We have never been involved with that gentleman or his own things. Never. Question it was only a relationship with Jean Luc. Answer for the office that started in 2003. That's when he. That's when he actually gets involved. Mr. Edwards. All right, I believe that I'm done. Hold on a second. Question. When Jeffrey Epstein was in jail, did you know of Jean Luc going to see him regularly? No. Question. Did you even know that he went to jail? Yeah. Question I mean, at Some point in time, while he was in jail, did you know for any other reason other than newspapers that he was there? No. Question. Have you ever heard of this guy, Joe Pagano? No. Question. Larry Vasaski. Do you know that pilot? No. With his personal things, we never, as far as I know, me personally, never. Yeah. No, I'm only asking you about people who were on flights with Jeffrey Epstein and Jean Luke. So that's why I was thinking that maybe Jean Luke would say who was on the flight. No, because I know one time, I know he came in his plane and he forgot Gucci pants in his airplane, so he had to go back to the airport to pick up the pants, but I had to wait outside and somebody went inside to pick up the pants. Question. Adriana Mushenko, do you know who that is? That's Adriana Ross, by the way. No. Question. Was there a Colombian girl, 13 years old, approximately, being protected by Jean Luc? Colombian girl. Question. That's all the information that I have. No, no. Question. Who else would process the visas for the girls? Answer. At the time, it was Evelyn Valenzuela in New York, and whenever she was not able to do it, she hired an attorney. I don't know the name of the attorney. In New York and in Miami, the person who was doing everything for visas was Louis Font. Question. Who are the people that are, you know, most of Jean Luc's friends? Who are the people who dislike Jean Luc? Who are the people we should talk to about them? They're familiar with them, but they're going to tell us to. That she's interrupted. Talk to Khalid. Khalid? Yeah, talk to Khalid. Talk to Amanda. You don't know how to track Khalid down right now. Amanda can give you information on Khalid. Amanda Grant. Yeah. And I'm going to give you a letter. I'll send you an email of Amanda's telephone. I go into my Facebook and I ask her and who else? Talk to Elite. There is. There is a lot of people in New York, but you ask Eve. Ask Eve. She can give you the names. I don't know the names exactly. I gave you Conchita a name, and I thought that this woman was really upset with them, but when she called her, it was like. Like girl was talking much flowers about him. So it's, you know. Question. So you never know. Answer. Yeah, you never know. That's true. You never know. $5,000 in Brazil is a lot of money. You know, you can buy a house. Question. So you can buy somebody to be quiet. Answer. Money talks. That's what they're doing all the time. Question do you know if Epstein paying anybody off during the whole litigation? Answer if I know, I don't know. But I can say that yes, because I wasn't sure Jeffrey Epstein, it would be Juan Perez. Believe me, Juan Perez would be in jail forever and ever. Question who? I'm giving you a name. Question. Oh, right, right. Answer. Because he's Jeffrey Epstein and he has all the money he has. He can shut up everybody. But if it would have been Juan Perez in the same situation, Juan Perez would be right now all his life in jail. But do you know of any people that Jeffrey Epstein had paid during the civil litigation? I don't know. To not talk or to go away? I don't know. Or. I mean, I'm sort of surprised that we haven't heard more from the models who were in New York, didn't make it as models and they were only there in the apartments for Jeffrey Epstein or Jean Luc. Answer. Because not all models, even if they are underage, they agree to do whatever they want. You know, like in my case I was, when I was with the girls and I was talking to the girls, I always said, you know, like you are going to do a job. You're not being hired to do nothing else. You work for nine to five. Even if you go do a three day shoot in San Francisco and the owner of this company wants to ask you something, it's up to you. You're hired to do a job. After that, we have no control. You know, they were, there were girls that were going to do jobs of 100, $200,000. And they were coming, they're real upset that they never wanted to work again with those people, even though they were paying because they were like molesting. No way. I'm here to work. That's it. Question who are those people? Answer. For example, there is a girl, a Brazilian girl. What's her name? Adarami. She did a job in San Francisco. When the guy wanted to. Question, do you know her last name? Answer no, no, I don't remember. And the guy wanted to take her to his yacht and she said, no, no, I'm going back to my hotel, I'm here to do my shooting from nine to five and that's it. And the guy didn't want to shoot her. And the next day and he returned her in a private plane. But we had to find for her money because she had a three day shooting for 15,000 for each day or 20,000 each day. And because she didn't want to go with them in the boat. He didn't want to have her anymore. But the contract was for three days. That's not her problem. Who are some of the other people that you found out later were trying to molest girls? No, I found out because I had a very good relationship with Adarami. Adarami called me to complain, and she wanted all of her money. If not, we're suing them. So I had to call them. You know, either you pay or we sue you for this. So they pay, but with other girls. And I would always say, you are going to do this job. We're responsible to pay you for the job. Whatever you want to do after is not our concern. That is up to you. You're already old enough to do what you're going to do. So that's why I believe most of the models are not saying anything, because what are they going to do? You know? Like, they were not stupid. Question. I'm more concerned with the girls who were staying at the 301 East 66th Street Apartments. Answer. You can get all that information from Eve. Eve has all of it. Because Eve was actually the one who was buying everything for that place and things like that. She, you know, if she has all that information, she will give it to you. Question. She would have the first and last names. Answer everything. Question. And lists and everything. Answer everything. Question. Okay, so she seems like the right person to talk to. Answer. Yes. You know, Eve will give you details on everything that has to do with New York, everything related to New York. Eve will give it right to you. Other than that, your recommendation is to talk to Khalid. Talk to Khalid. Talk to Amanda. Amanda Grant. Amanda will tell you a lot of things. And she's here. She's in Miami. Yeah, she's in Miami. Question. If I find Juliana Barboza, will she talk? You can try. I mean, she is obviously someone who knows, right? Answer. You can try. Question. I mean, you know her as a person. Answer. Yes. Question. So is she somebody who would seem like she would. Vasquez. If you start saying that she can make a lot of money, she'll talk. That's it. That's the only way you're going to get what you want.

Question. That's the only reason why anybody is going to talk. Answer. Yeah, you have to start. If you don't start with that, nobody's going to open their mouth. Why? For what? They have to know that if they're going to open their mouth, they're going to get something for their words. If everybody started knowing that, they will be able to make money. You're not going to have one, you're going to have hundreds. You know, if, if talk to Eve, ask Eve and you know, give me a call later and if you want, give me the name of the people in Brazil that you're going to call. And start. If you say, look, look, if you cooperate and you tell me everything you know, because you know, and you'll be able to make 50 million, 20 million. How much you want? Let's find it. If they don't get anything like that, they're not going to do anything. They're not going to move a pencil. But because he goes with 5,000 and they're happy. Question, right? Answer they're happy. Question do you know of anything happening already? Answer yeah, I can say with. With this woman that is probably with Conchita. That woman hate him. Question. Hates Jeff Epstein. Answer no. Jean Luc. And now she's like his best friend. Jean Luc never pay her 50,000 he owes her and maybe finally pay it and. And whatever. And now he has her in his pocket. Question who else does Jean Luc stay with when he's here? I don't know. He doesn't stay anymore in his apartment. He has a house now. He rents a house. So I know. Question In New York. Answer no. Miami. In New York. He's still in the place of Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, okay. Answer he used to live on West Avenue in a penthouse. Not anymore. Question. Other than Jeff Fuller, that's the only other real friend here. Answer. Other than Jeff Fuller. Jeff Fuller is his partner. You know, Corrado is another friend of him, but I don't know his last name. He lives here in Miami. Question. How do you spell the first name, Corrado? C O, R, R, A O, D O. He's an Italian guy. That's another person. He is very close, very close friend of Jean Luke since Europe. But if you don't go to him saying about the money, Corrado is not going to talk. And if you talk to Corrado about money, believe me, you're not going to have one. You're going to have 20 names and you're going to have 20 cases pedo. If you go talk with your tool, which is going to be okay, we can make money. We can do this, we can do that. They're not going to. They're not going to sell his friend because they go out with them. Because when they go out with Jean Luc, Jean Luc pays for the bills. Jean Luc pays for the gas. Jean Luc pays for the vacation. Jean Luc pays for this and that, even if he doesn't have any money to pay his payroll. Question, how much time does Jean Luc spend in France? Very little. Very little. He's traveling all over the world. He's traveling all over the world. And does he have money problems? Yeah, he doesn't have any money. He doesn't. Jean Luc doesn't have any money. Where does he get the money from then? Answer from the company. First. You have to pay Jean Luc's credit card and expenses before you pay anybody else. Question that's the rule. Vasquez. Yeah, he's His American Express comes from 50,000, of course, maybe 20,000 or tickets for the models that they going to be reimbursed by the client. But 30,000 are his expenses. And he says, no, that's scouting, so we have to pay for that. Question, okay, who are the other scouts for MC2? Khalid was one. Jeff Fuller is another one. There's another woman, Nicolette. What's her name? Something like that. Is her name. I don't recall her name. She does the scouting too. Okay. In New York we had another scouter, a Jewish guy, but now he has the office of MC2 in Tel Aviv. You can talk to him too. I don't recall his name, but it's in the webpage of MC Squared. Question, okay, but he's Jean Luc's friend, right? Answer yeah, money talks. Question, Are there any other modeling agencies that are friendly or not friendly with MC Squared, such as Ford Modeling Agency. Is that someone Vasquez? There's a guy in New York that you have to talk to. Question, who is that? What's his name? Vasquez says, what's his name? Jean Luc. Sue him. And then he sue him. And he won because Jean Luc never paid two girls and he was the general manager of New York and he has opened his own agency and did much better than John Luke.

Podcast: The Epstein Chronicles
Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: May 22, 2026
In this "Mega Edition," host Bobby Capucci continues a deep dive into the criminal network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, particularly focusing on the connections between Epstein, modeling agent Jean Luc Brunel, and the modeling agency MC Squared. Using excerpts from depositions—specifically the testimony of Maritza Vasquez, a key insider—Capucci and the legal team (led by Bradley Edwards) explore how the modeling industry was leveraged to traffic underage girls, the roles of various players, and how this criminal enterprise operated with impunity for years. The episode pulls back the curtain on institutional complicity, shocking patterns of abuse, and the individuals who enabled or turned a blind eye to Epstein’s activities.

“Money talks. That’s what they’re doing all the time.” — Vasquez [25:40]
“If you cooperate and you tell me everything you know... And you’ll be able to make 50 million, 20 million. How much you want? Let’s find it. If they don’t get anything like that, they’re not going to do anything.” — Vasquez [30:20]
