Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? Ugh. It's. What is it about? And why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved. For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we, Vince. The Lapsed Fan podcast Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

The hits for Ghislaine Maxwell and her co conspirators keep on coming. It was announced today that the grand jury is still convened and they are still investigating the co conspirators who were involved in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. Now we have known that, especially here on the Jeffrey Epstein show, we, we have most certainly known that more indictments were on the way. I have talked about that fact extensively here and I have been adamant that the charges we see Maxwell getting hit with, now the original charges, those were just placeholders. Those were a reason to bring her in, get her arrested and get the ball rolling. But there is most assuredly more coming down the pipe. And you see this especially in federal indictments all the time. It starts out with a couple of charges and then before you you know it, you have 15, 20, 30 charges in some instances that you're fighting. And I expect nothing different here. And I also expect that, as I've said numerous times in the past, the second other people start getting arrested, I expect this to become a RICO case. There's no other way that they can prosecute this than besides using rico. Once other people are arrested, indicted, and called co conspirators, it is obviously a criminal conspiracy. And then there is no way that it is not also a RICO case. Now this situation tonight, when we're getting this information from the prosecution about the grand jury, it's a, it's a pretty big deal, right? It's a big nugget to get that confirmation because what it does is it puts pressure on the co conspirators just knowing, just them knowing now that this grand jury is in session still and that they're still investigating into these co conspirators and they're hearing evidence. It is, it has to be a nightmare scenario for everybody involved. And also, I don't think that they would announce this or let this be brought to light unless other arrests were eminent. Now, I would say within the next few weeks, we should see more arrests here, but who knows with the way the justice system works in this country and how screwed up things are, you know, I don't know if that's the case, but usually when you see signs like this and you hear these rumblings, like we did before Ghislaine was arrested, remember, usually more arrests are coming and the indictments are about to be unsealed. So that's where we're at right now. And that is most certainly the biggest news of the day. So let's jump into our article from Law and Crime and take a look at what they have to say about this situation, considering they have been such a good resource throughout this whole entire ride when it comes to the ins and outs of the legal part of the case. Right, because that, that stuff's hard to understand. We're not lawyers. I mean, most of us aren't. I'm sure a couple of people out there might be who are listening or a few people. But for the. The vast majority of us, we're just trying to figure out, you know, make odds of ends from some of this legal stuff. So it's nice to have a resource like law and crime. The author of this article is Colin Kalmbacher. Headline, Prosecutors reveal secret investigation of Ghislaine Maxwell Other Epstein co conspirators is ongoing. And again, usually they won't reveal stuff like this unless things are already in motion because they don't want to tip their hand.
C
Right.
B
They're playing it close to the vest. They don't want these people to lawyer up, clam up, try and run, whatever it may be. So usually they play this really close to the vest. So I'm wondering what the motivation is behind the scenes for them coming out and putting this on the record. Federal prosecutors in New York City revealed there is an ongoing investigation and separate grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, co conspirator, fellow child abuser, and alleged sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in various court documents filed Friday afternoon. So already we're seeing that the case is blooming Right. We're seeing that it's growing. You add a little bit of water to it in this case, more evidence, and then before you know it, your crops start to bloom. And that's what's going on here for the prosecution. They're adding water, they're adding the evidence, they're building their case. And things are growing exponentially. As the U.S. attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York SDNY has stated publicly, the investigation into the conduct of the defendant and in this case and other possible co conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein remains active. The government noted in a letter motion to the US District Judge Allison Nathan. The full scope and details of that investigation, however, have not been made public. And that's where we're at.
C
Right.
B
That's what we've been discussing, and that's what we're doing and speculating on who might be involved in this. And when you follow all of the evidence and you look at all of the players who have been on the Epstein stage throughout this whole entire disgusting ordeal, well, it's obvious who they're talking about here. The Core 4, most certainly. Maybe Jean Luc Brunel. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's a couple of surprise names that we aren't even expecting to be in there, because it really looks to me like they're going for the neck here. It looks like what they're doing is they're really blooming this case out. They're going to have several different investigations going, a ton of evidence going on, and then they're going to tie it all up together in a pretty neat bow in one big, gigantic RICO case. And once that occurs. I know, I know you're probably sick of hearing it by now, but once that occurs, this becomes a whole new ball game. Just look how everybody who gets slapped with a RICO case fights tooth and nail to try and make it so. It is not a RICO case. Take a look at Nexium. Take a look at R. Kelly. Prosecutors declined to share any details about that additional grand jury investigation, but offered to provide them to Nathan in private under judicial lock and key if she requests such information. So what they're saying is, is, look, this investigation is going on. We are diving deep into these co conspirators. We have our net thrown wide and we're gonna see what the, what the catch is. The catch of the day is. And they're telling the judge, Judge Nathan, that if she wants to see what they're working on in private, they would gladly show her what's going on. But as of now, this stuff is still secret, right? This is still sealed under the grand jury and they're going to continue to investigate in the confines of the jurors room. So it's very interesting to see just exactly where this ends up and how many people are under indictment right now by, by sealed indictments, right? Indictment, indictments we don't know about. And obviously the most interesting part for us is when are those indictments going to be unsealed? To the extent it would be useful to this court for the government to further elaborate on the nature of the ongoing grand jury investigation, the government is prepared to file a supplemental letter specifically on that subject, ex parte and under seal, should the court request such an explanation. A footnote, a separate letter, motion explained. So again, that letter that they filed is just letting the court know that they'll gladly bring to the court's attention what's going on in the grand jury, the grand jury hearings right now, and that it is still under seal because they have not finished their investigations. But obviously Judge Nathan has incredible power when it comes to overseeing what goes on here. And they are going to do whatever she wants to do. If she wants this letter filed. Of course the government is going to do that because the government obviously feels like they have a strong case here either way. One of those motions was filed in reference to an Aug. 17 letter filed by Maxwell's criminal defense attorneys. The government asked the court to redact certain portions of that already filed letter in a motion that has heavily redacted itself. And you can come and check out the, the article obviously at law and crime. And they have all of the documents posted with hyperlinks, so you can go and read them yourselves. We'll read, we'll read through this redacted letter real quick. But it's like, like I just said, heavily redacted. As described above, the grand jury investigation is active and ongoing and resulted in new charges being brought just last, just last month in this case. Redacted, redacted, redacted. Two big gigantic black boxes of redactions. In sum, the government respectfully submits that the exhibits to the defense letter, which consist entirely of filings that have been ordered sealed by other judicial officers, should also be filed under seal in this case while the grand jury investigation remains ongoing. For the same reasons, the government proposes redacting any portions of the defense letter that big time redaction once again. Accordingly, the government respectfully requests the court permits the redactions to the defense letter proposed in Exhibit A hereto and that both the unredacted defense letter and the exhibits thereto remain under seal until further order of the court. Additionally, because the instant letter discusses the government's ongoing investigation and references about three sentences redacted, the government also respectfully requests that it be permitted to file a redacted version of this letter on the public docket and that the unredacted version of this letter, as well as exhibit A to this letter be filed under seal. So again, I am not a lawyer, right, But I think it's a little bit of a tell that they want this on the public docket, but they want it redacted. I think they want the public to understand that there is more coming down the pipe. I think the prosecutors are keenly aware of the scrutiny that they're under to do the right thing in this case. Because let me tell you what if they don't. I am, I am not even kidding you. It is pitchforks and torches. Time. The government's second motion requests that the SDNY deny a recent request from Maxwell's counsel in certain civil cases to file discovery materials produced by the government under seal. In other words, it appears that Maxwell's criminal case is becoming perhaps, perhaps unexplainably entwined with the protective order for the discovery. In the years old and long settled defamation case between herself and Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts. The government attempts to explain the convoluted situation. So basically what they're saying here is that Maxwell is trying to use the protective order for the discovery from the years old case in this new case and trying to intertwine the two. And as the authors just stated here, it most certainly has become a convoluted situation that is not easy to follow. And that is exactly what Ghislaine Maxwell and her lawyers want. They want the water to be muddy, they want this to be dragged out, they want to appeal and then they want to appeal the appeal. And they will do everything in their power to make that the case. Subpoenas were issued to a certain recipient after the government opened a grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his possible co conspirators. For obvious reasons and in keeping with its standard practice, the government did not notify the defendant or her counsel that it had issued the subpoenas. In response to receiving the subpoenas, the recipient advised the government that it believed that certain existing protective orders precluded full compliance. Alright, so they were asking, uh, they, they subpoenaed people in the case, right? Subpoenaed some information Subpoenaed some people. And what's going on is the. The defense is saying that the protective
C
orders preclude full compliance, meaning they don't have to comply fully because of the
B
protective order from the other case. See what they mean here by convoluted now, how it's intertwined. Accordingly, in or about February 2019, the government applied ex parte and under seal to each relevant court to request modification of the respective protective orders to permit compliance with the subpoenas. Accordingly, in or about February 2019, the government applied ex parte and under seal to each relevant court to request modifications of the respective protective orders to permit compliance with the subpoenas. In or about 2019, one court, Court 1, granted the government's application and permitted that the government share its order and only that order, which itself prohibited further dissemination to the recipient. Subsequently, the second court, Court 2, denied the government's application. Because the relevant grand jury investigation remains ongoing, both court one and two have ordered that the filings regarding the subpoenas remain under seal, except that both have expressly permitted the government to produce those filings to the defendant as part of its discovery obligations in this criminal case. The defense letter now seeks to use those discovery materials in the civil case. So what they're trying to do is use the materials from the discovery here in the criminal case over in the civil case. So she's trying to get the old two for one here, Right. Remember, Presca made Virginia's newer lawyers, Cooper and I forget the other gentleman's name, destroy the copies of those documents. And basically, Maxwell of the. Excuse me, let me explain a little bit better than that of the documents that they received from Boys and Schiller after they took over the case when Dershowitz filed the defamation against Boies. So they got some. Some information and some files from that case and brought it over into their case. And remember, Prescott decided that that wasn't allowed, and she made them destroy those copies. So it's kind of the same situation here that Ghislaine Maxwell is looking at, right? She wants to use the. The information from one case to help her in the other case. And the government, the prosecution, is saying no way. Essentially, Maxwell is complaining that the government provided certain information to an unnamed person connected to the Epstein criminal investigation. And she wants to use those machinations to her advantage in at least one civil case, which again, is presumably the ongoing release of Epstein materials connected to the Roberts controversy. And that, the government says, is absolutely not the point of the criminal discovery process. No, it is not. Discovery is to help the defense get themselves prepared for trial. Here's what we got. This is what you're looking at. Time to build your defense. It is not for you to wrangle and try and use loopholes and use what you find in discovery to help you in your civil case. There is good reason why both parties proposed, and the court ordered, a protective order that prevents the defendant from using materials obtained through the process of criminal discovery in any of the many civil cases in which she is or could become a party. The motion continues. To allow the defendant to do so would permit the dissemination of a vast swath of materials, including those that are confidential due to witness privacy interests, personnel, personal identifying information of third parties, and relevance in ongoing grand jury investigations. So we know how Maxwell has conducted herself in the past, right? She's intimidated people. We know the way she treated Maria. We know the way she treated others. So we're gonna let her have access to the private information of people involved in the case. Zero chance of the prosecution saying, no way in hell
C
here.

The government was particularly concerned about the defendant's interest in blurring these lines because, among other reasons, her counsel in the criminal case are also her counsel in the civil cases. And that's why I referred to the Boy Schiller situation with Dershowitz and Virginia having to get other legal counsel in that. In that specific area, because it kind of parallels what's going on here. It would be grossly inappropriate for defense counsel to be permitted to sift through the criminal case discovery and cherry pick materials they may believe could provide some advantage in their efforts to defend against accusations of abuse by victim plaintiffs, the lay court ordered disclosure of previously sealed materials or any other legal effort the defendant may be undertaking at any particular time. And yet that is what the defendant proposes. Again, it's all about slowing it down. That's what she's trying to do here, folks. All the other little minutia that's going on here, the legalese, it's. It's fine and well, but Ghislaine Maxwell is trying to slow things down here. That's what her lawyers want. They're. They want more time to formulate their case. They're hoping that perhaps some kind of miraculous evidence shows up or that Ghislaine is able to work out a deal where she rats on other people or whatever it may be. But I'll tell you what. They understand that they are in a very dangerous situation, legally speaking, and they understand that the ground that they're holding is untenable. Maxwell is currently in prison and awaiting trial on various charges related to her alleged role in Epstein's decades long sex trafficking operation that preyed on young girls. Read both letter motions in full below. And both of the motions are here for you to check out. Just click the link hyperlink and you can go read them yourself. Try and digest them, navigate your way through the, the word soup of legalese. And you know, we keep it going, right? This is a huge, a huge deal. It just validates what we already knew obviously that there is still things going on behind the scenes. There's going to be more indictments. And folks, this is far, far from over.

What's up everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One of the most absurd things you hear when talking about co conspirators in the Jeffrey Epstein criminal enterprise is that this non prosecution agreement in Florida protects them everywhere. That is just absurd. And the SDNY and the prosecutors in New York, well, they prove that by prosecuting Ghislaine Maxwell. Now the question becomes how come they're not going with the same vigor or the same gusto after the other co conspirators? Considering there is precedent here with Maxwell, who was certainly protected under the non prosecution agreement getting prosecuted here, you would think that the prosecutors would continue to dismantle this criminal enterprise and bring these people to heal. But that has not happened. We've had a lot of lip service, we've had plenty of platitudes and we've had a lot of promises from the Department of Justice and the sdny, yet none of it has materialized. Have any of the other co conspirators been brought up on charges? What about the people using the services of Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein? Still nothing. No subpoenas, no huge commissions, no huge hearings, nothing like that. It's as if all of these people in power just want this to go away. Well, unfortunately for them, that's not going to happen. All of the authorities that were involved in this, they have some answers to give us. Let's remember here, we don't live in some country where the secret police run the whole world. These people have to be accountable to the taxpayers. And when there's no accountability, well, what's left? They're able to do whatever they want whenever they want. And we've seen it time and time again. You know, it's not because they don't have the evidence, folks, it's they don't have the willpower or the spine to go after the rest of these co conspirators because they understand just what sort of Pandora's box that would be opening. And they can't have that right. They can't have their faves get in trouble, they can't have their bag man get in trouble. Who's going to fund their campaigns? Today we have an article from Law and Crime headline SDNY Rejects Absurd Notion that Jeffrey Epstein's non prosecution Agreement still protects Ghislaine Maxwell this article was authored by Colin Kalmbacher and it was published on July 13, 2020. So right out of the gate, if the SDNY is rejecting the absurd notion that Jeffrey Epstein's non prosecution agreement protects Maxwell, then why aren't they going after the rest of the co conspirators using this as precedent? If it's absurd for Maxwell, it's absurd for the rest of them. The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York argued against Ghislaine Maxwell's bail request in an aggressive motion filed with the Manhattan based federal court on Monday. The prosecution's argument against pre trial release for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking accomplice notably focused on one of the most visible, criticized and controversial aspects of the case, the non prosecution agreement that infamously purported to shield any of Epstein's potential co conspirators from federal charges. And now nobody gets a deal like that where it shields potential co conspirators, people that aren't even named. How in the world do you get yourself a deal like that unless you have friends on high that doesn't just materialize for anybody but Jeffrey Epstein's gross ass. Well, he gets that kind of deal in 2007 as part of Epstein's sweetheart deal inked with the Southern District of Florida, an office that was then led by President Donald Trump's one time Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, but administered by Mukase and the rest of them. Let's not forget that they conveniently leave that kind of stuff out. And remember folks, lies of omission are still lies. The mysteriously wealthy financier, pedophile and alleged serial sexual abuser. No more alleged of young girls was able to secure a criminal justice bargain in exchange for pleading guilty to state prostitution charges and a 13 month sentence with work from home privileges. Acosta and the Whole u. S. Government. DOJ immunized Epstein for any further associated crimes along with his named and unnamed alleged co conspirators. So that should never happen in any situation. There should never be a deal that is such an umbrella that it covers even non named co conspirators. That should never be okay. And there should never be a federal prosecutor or a director of the DOJ attorney general that signs off on anything like that. And I can't slam the point home enough that Acosta was just a middle manager. How many of you work at a job and have a middle manager who's basically his only job is to set the schedule and and make sure you show up at work? It's basically what a Costa is, right? Just another middle manager. How many of these field attorney generals are there around the country? A whole bunch of them. So Acosta isn't some special guy who had all these special powers. It was his bosses from on high who were okay with this deal. All the Kirkland Ellis lawyers that have all of these relationships. And remember, with these lawyers, you're not buying what they're going to do in the courtroom. You're buying their connections outside of the courtroom. You're buying the fact that they can walk into the judge's chamber, sit down with the judge and know he's an old buddy from Harvard. That's what you're paying for. Under the ages of what most see as a self evidently corrupt non prosecution agreement, Maxwell sought shelter from the federal charges filed against her in late June, charges that were unsealed after she was arrested in early July. So she had tried to use the fact that she has this non prosecution agreement down in Florida to protect herself in New York. And we all know that doesn't fly. And the fact that the federal government has basically let them get off because of this pro non prosecution agreement is just unacceptable. Arguing the government's case is subject to significant challenges, Maxwell defense attorney Mark S. Cohen and Jeffrey S. Pagliucha said the client's prosecution is barred by Epstein's 9-24-2007 non prosecution agreement with the department of justice which covers any potential co conspirators of Epstein. I mean, wow, there's really not even much to say about it. How can anyone look at that deal he got and especially Monday morning quarterbacking it with hindsight as our guide and not see how screwed up it all was and not see how corrupt it all was. And the fact that nobody who was involved in administering that deal ever had any sanctions hit against them is just beyond beyond absurd. The SDNY attempted to rubbish that that line of argument in full. So this is important right here, right? If they're arguing that this is rubbish here, how come it's not rubbish for say, Sarah Kellen Vickers the defendant's motion alludes to defenses in this case, all of which are legal or procedural in nature and none of which pass muster, let alone counsel in favor of bail. Monday's Detention Support Memo Notes to begin with, the notion that the defendant is protected from prosecution by the non prosecution agreement NPA between Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. attorney's office in the Southern District of Florida is absurd. That agreement offers her affords her no protection in this district for at least three reasons. So again, the reason we're going back and talking about this is SDNY themselves are saying that there's precedent here to go after the co conspirators non named or named as Epstein associates. Yet they have not done so. And the question is why? If they have precedent, if they have the evidence, what are they waiting for? First, the defendant was not party to that agreement nor named in it as a third party beneficiary. And the defendant offers no basis to think she would be she would have standing to claim any rights under the npa. Tellingly, the defendant cites no authority for the proposition that an agreement she was not party to and that does not even identify her by name could possibly be invoked to bar her prosecution. I think that applies for all of the co conspirators, right? Once again, all of the co conspirators are using this non prosecution agreement as their basis for not being charged. Second, and equally important, the NPA does not bind the Southern District of New York which was not party to the agreement. See The United States vs. Annabie, 771 F.2d 670, 672 2nd District Circuit 1985. A plea agreement binds only the Office of the United States Attorney for the district in which the plea is entered unless it affirmatively appears that the agreement contemplates a broader restriction. And this is something I've talked about from the beginning. Look, I'm certainly not a legal mind, right? I don't. I don't know the law inside and out. But I do know for a fact that if you have a plea agreement with one district that doesn't get rid of all your crimes in a different district, you haven't sat down with the attorneys in insert district here and done your 302, signed your proffer agreement and became king for a day. That only happened in Florida. This rule applies even when the text of agreement refers to the signing party as the government. Third, and perhaps most important, even assuming the NPA could be read to protect this defendant and bind this office, which are both legally unsound propositions, the indictment charges conduct not covered by the npa, which was limited by its terms to conduct spanning from 2001 to 2007, a time period that postdates the conduct charged in the indictment, and to violations of statutes not charged in this indictment. So what they're saying is the original charges, the original non prosecution agreement doesn't even cover the charges that SDNY was talking about here. And again, just to slam it home, the same could be said of the other co conspirators. The prosecution memos memo continues in this respect. The government further notes that the indictment brought in this district is entirely independent of the prior SDFL investigation and two of the survivors referenced in the indictment were never approached or interviewed by the SDFL and never spoke to law enforcement until they met with our office in 2019. Bingo. Done and done. But still the rest of the co conspirators are somehow hiding using this as a defense. The SDNY is spot on here, and Maxwell's argument stands essentially no real chance, former SDNY Assistant U. S Attorney and current CNN legal analyst Eli Honig told Law and Crime in an email. At least Epstein had the shred of an argument that he was part he was party to the NPA and could enforce it against the government. Maxwell is neither a party to the agreement nor even one of the names of beneficiaries. And as the SDNY notes, the charge document a charge conduct falls entirely outside the time frame stated in the npa. So the NPA isn't carte blanche, right? When you sign an NPA, a non prosecution agreement and a 302, you tell the government of all of the crimes that you have committed up to that point. And up to that point you get relief for all of those crimes that you have committed if you have been honest with the government. Anything that happens after that, however, well, that's still on you. Julie Randleman, a former homicide prosecutor and currently a defense attorney working in New York City. She serves as a legal analyst on the Law and Crime Network. Rendleman agreed with the SDNY's reasoning to why Epstein's NPA is inapplicable to Maxwell's bail request, but noted that Maxwell's defense attorneys are more or less bound to exhaust any plausible excuses to get their client out of jail. Well, that's for sure they're going to utilize whatever they can to try and get their client out of jail. And if there's a non prosecution prosecution agreement on the table, they're certainly going to try and use that. The attorneys for Maxwell are for the moment focused on getting her out on bail pending trial, Rendleman told Law and Crime. To that end, they are including every potential argument that either supports the position that she is not a flight risk or undermines the federal government's case in general. The raising of Jeffrey Epstein's NPA is just one example of their effort to present potential cracks in the government's case, she added. The problem for Maxwell is that the npa, even if valid, seems to only bind the Southern District of Florida to, not New York. Further, as Maxwell was not a party to the npa, nor named in it, it would seem a stretch to think this would save her from facing charges in New York or in New Mexico or in the Virgin Islands or an insert place here. That's why when they only had one federal investigation going on and not parallel investigations in these states, I had something to say about it. So what, we're going to rely just on the federal government? As an Attorney General of a state like Balderas in New Mexico, your duty is to protect the citizens of your state. You can't punt that to the federal government. So you need to step up and have a parallel investigation and maybe bring state charges. Because those state charges, she's not protected from the the those state charges under the npa. Right. And neither are the other co conspirators. So again I ask you, why is it that the government has not brought a RICO case here? Why is it that the government has not used this precedent to go after Jeffrey Epstein's other co conspirators? All right, folks, that's going to do it for this episode.

The link that I discussed can be found in the description box. What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One of the most confounding things about the whole entire Jeffrey Epstein shitshow is the fact that nobody, and I mean nobody, really dug into the financials. You would think that a man who is spreading the cheese all over the bread the way he is would be looked at from a financial point of view but he was not. And the only reason that I can come up with for that not to occur is that the ties that would have led to other people, they didn't want this to become a RICO case. They didn't want you to know all of the people that were involved. You want to talk about an embarrassment for the federal government, hell, for the governments of the world, let this turn into a RICO case. And let's start following the money. I mean, just take a look at all of the people Jeffrey Epstein has donated to throughout history. We're talking just about every politician that you could think of in New York from the early 90s up until his first arrest. I mean, he gave Chuck Schumer a whole ton of money. So anyone who received money from Jeffrey Epstein should be on the radar. But that never occurred. Right? And that's because there's a two tier justice system, folks. One set up for them and one set up for me and you. And in this article today that we're going to take a look at From July of 2019, it's just another example of that. Jeffrey Epstein wired $350,000 to two people after a 2018 report. And we all know what that money was. More hush money. And is it any surprise that these co conspirators haven't come out and went on the record? It's because they were being paid off not to go out on the record. And also Epstein wasn't stupid when it comes to his criminal enterprise. It's just like the mafia, right? To get your, to, to get made, you have to clip somebody so that you share in their crimes. And that's what Epstein did with his assistance. The core four, they all partook in the crimes so that they all had the legal jeopardy that they were facing if things went south. But the little add on on the top of it was I'll give you some dough too. And that's how Jeffrey Epstein was able to buy silence. And still to this day, none of the core four have come out and spoken to authorities. None of the core four have talked to the police. And you would think that some of them would want to get on the record at the very least and have their stories told. Now I know that there is some legal jeopardy for some of them. I know Nadia Marcinkova especially has some, you know, issues she would have to deal with if she wants to speak out. But where's Sarah Kellen Vickers? Where's Leslie Groff? Where's Adriana Ross? We haven't heard anything from any of them. And then the icing on the cake is how Epstein was spreading this dough around. The prosecutors knew and still didn't wrap any of these people up with a bow. Today's article is from Business Insider. Headline Jeffrey Epstein reportedly wired $350,000 to two people after a bombshell 2018 report. Prosecutors say this article was authored by David Choi. Federal prosecutors accused Jeffrey Epstein, the 66 year old hedge fund manager charged this week with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit traffic to commit sex trafficking of witness tampering and alleged wire and end alleged he wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to two potential witnesses, according to court documents reviewed by the New York Times on Friday. So if this was a Mafia trial and Jeffrey Epstein's last name was, let's say, Ruggero, all of the people that he wired this money to would now be part of the case. Anybody, if you received a dollar from him, could now be part of this case and be part of the criminal conspiracy. Even if you have done nothing wrong. That gives the feds the ability to, you know, bug your phone, follow you, look at your financials, get warrants on you and all the rest of it. And that's why the RICO laws are so powerful and that's why they go after the Mafia with them. Because when you can start targeting people's families, it changes the whole entire landscape of the prosecution. Prosecutors claim Epstein wired 315, $350,000 between November and December in 2018 after the Miami Herald published its extensive investigation about his previous plea deal with the U.S. attorney's office in Miami, according to the Times. Unbelievable. And nothing happened. You know, we look at this in hindsight now and when it was all happening in real time, I'm saying to myself, oh yeah, someone's definitely getting nailed here. Look at all this money flying every which way but loose. Look at all of these wire transfers. Look at all of these ill gotten gains being moved around in the financial sector. Somebody has to catch this, right? Surprise. Three years later, four years later, nada, Nothing un gots. The two individuals who are alleged to have received the money were possible co conspirators, prosecutors said, according to NBC News and the Times. So you have people you're involved with, right? And you're moving dough to them while you're under criminal prosecution, while you're under investigation. And that doesn't lead the investigators to go after the co conspirators as well. They had everything they needed, folks to go after these co conspirators. They did not. And again, I ask you why not? That's a question you need to ask yourself. In 2008, Epstein cut a plea deal with u. S. Attorney attorney office in miami to avoid federal charges on suspicion of sexually abusing underage girls at his mansion in palm beach, florida. Instead, he pleaded guilty to two state counts of soliciting prostitution and avoided serving federal or state prison. So this guy has been getting the, you know, king's end of the deal for how long? And it's just so amazing to me that we had institution after institution, law enfor enforcement group after law enforcement group not do a damn thing even though they knew who the guy was. Instead, he registered as a sex offender and served 13 months in a private wing of a county jail. For six days of the week, he was allowed to work in an office setting for 12 hours a day. And according to reports, he was still abusing girls while he was out on his work release. So who's responsible for that? Oh, that's right. The palm beach officers who were supposed to be with him. They destroyed a bunch of documentation and records about their time minding Jeffrey epstein. So you tell me, every time we turn around when it comes to Jeffrey epstein, videos are being erased, documentation's being erased, this is being erased, that's being erased. So it's all a coincidence. I guess. If you want to believe that all of this is a coincidence, then that's fine. But for me, there is obviously something bubbling under the surface here, and the idea is to dig deep enough till we get to the source. Epstein's attorneys reportedly asked the court that that his client be under house arrest with an ankle monitor. NBC news said prosecutors are asking for Epstein's bail to be denied in light of the new accusations of witness tampering. And this was just old hat for Epstein, for people who might not be aware, this is how he got off the first time. It wasn't just acosta. You think acosta has that kind of power? It was the whole entire broken system and Jeffrey Epstein's manipulation of it. This course of action, and in particular its timing suggests the defendant was attempting to further influence co conspirators who might provide information against him in light of recently reemerging allegations, prosecutors said in court filings, according to NBC news. Now, look, if these co conspirators had signed 302 proffers and they were working as government informants and they were helping the government take down Maxwell and Epstein, I could understand. But that's not the case. And the only way anyone should be given any sort of leniency that doesn't mean get off completely, by the way, is if you help out, if you give information that helps the authorities make arrests. So why are the co conspirators still walking around and living it up? None of this money that they received from Epstein was tainted. Epstein is currently being held at the Metropolitan Correctional center in Manhattan. He is pleading not guilty to the charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. He faces a maximum sentence of 45 years in prison. Even that sentence is ridiculous. How is it again, ask yourself that Keith Rainier, he gets a buck 20, but Epstein was only looking at 45. Why? How is it that the system is so tilted for people like Epstein when you and I, not that you would ever commit anything like this, I would hope, but we would be thrown underneath a jail. Forget about it. The charging document alleged Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. But what this article shows you once again, folks, is that there were a lot of people in on this and a lot of people were, you know, wetting their beak on Jeffrey Epstein's dime. And this guy was making his money in a criminalistic way. So that means everybody who was involved with him, well, they're involved in the conspiracy. So how is it that he's able to send money to co conspirators? He's able to send money to this one and that one. And there's no forensic investigation. The SEC and the IRS aren't over here with their bibs on and, you know, a fork and knife and a plate because they're so hungry to eat the rich. Isn't that the whole going mantra? That's what the IRS is going to be doing moving forward. I have a hard time believing it because guess what? The track record says something different. Do you think you'd be afforded all of these different rights and, and different, you know, breaks in the system that Jeffrey Epstein got? Of course you wouldn't be, but he was. And guess what? That whole time that he was catching those breaks, that whole time that he was being enabled, he was raping and abusing children and women. And all of the people who are involved in that need to be held responsible. All right, folks, it's going to do it for this one.
