Epstein Chronicles Narrator
Visit your nearby Lowes Foreign what's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode we're going to take a look at the report that was put together by the psychiatrist and their staff about Jeffrey Epstein and the events leading up to his death. Background Information Jeffrey Epstein was 66 years old, white male who died on August 10, 2019 while housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Complex In New York, N.Y. redacted former acting assistant director, Re entry services division appointed a team to conduct a psychological reconstruction. The team consisted of National Suicide Prevention Coordinator, Central Office, Sex Offender Treatment Program Coordinator, Central Office, Mental Health Treatment Coordinator, Central Office and Redacted Correctional Services Administrator, Northeast Regional Office. The reconstruction was established in accordance with Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 532408. Suicide Prevention Program Formal interviews were not conducted as part of this reconstruction at the direction of the Department of Justice. A copy of the video is normally made following a significant incident, but there was no such video in this case. So since the original video was confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation prior to the beginning of this reconstruction, the absence of these two areas of inquiry severely limited the ability to establish accurate timelines, confirm subjective reports, establish converging and diverging lines of facts, or discover new areas of inquiry. As a result, the information typically gathered, reviewed and consolidated during a reconstruction to support actionable findings and recommendations is limited. Social history Mr. Epstein did not have a pre sentence report available at the time of reconstruction. Therefore, no official information regarding social history was accessible. The following was gathered from publicly available documents. Mr. Epstein was born in 1953 and Ruach in a middle class family in the neighborhood of Seagate on Coney island with one brother. After early promotion in two grades, Mr. Epstein graduated from Lafayette High School in 1969 at the age of 16. He attended Cooper Union and New York University but did not graduate from either. Mr. Epstein taught at the Dalton School, a private school on the Upper east side of Manhattan, from September 1974 until he was dismissed in June of 1976 for inadequate development as a teacher. Following that, he held a number of positions in the financial industry to include a position as a limited partner at Bear Stearns until he was dismissed for unknown policy violations in 1981. He also worked as a financial consultant and founded at least two separate companies. Mr. Epstein had two significant periods of employment. The rest of these was his position as a consultant with Stephen Jude Hoffenberg in the late 80s. Mr. Hoffenberg was described as his first mentor. Mr. Hoffenberg was later convicted and incarcerated of running a large Ponzi scheme. He implicated Mr. Epstein in fraudulently diverting company funds for his own personal use. Years later, Leslie Wexner, made Mr. Epstein's sole client at J. Epstein Co. Granted him power of attorney over his affairs. Despite also being identified as Mr. Wexner's mentee, Mr. Epstein was again accused of misappropriating funds more than $46 million. These large sums are believed to be seed money Mr. Epstein used to establish his considerable fortune. These events are indicative of Mr. Epstein's highly regarded intelligence and charismatic personality. Legal history Mr. Epstein had a history of adult criminal charges and convictions. In June 2008 he entered into a non prosecution agreement and pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution in the State of Florida. He was sentenced to 30 months, 18 months of incarceration and and 12 months of probation. He was also mandated to register as a sex offender under the National Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act. Mr. Epstein served 13 of his 18 month incarceration and then successfully completed 12 months of probation. It's unclear whether he followed the sex offender registration guidelines in each place he owned a residence. In regard to the pending charges, Mr. Epstein was formally charged with sex trafficking, conspiracy in violation of US Code 18 Section 371 and sex trafficking in violation of US Code 18 Section 1591 A, B2 and 2 on July 2, 2019. Specifically, he was accused of sexually exploiting and abusing minor females over the course of several years. Charging documents allege Mr. Epstein enticed and recruited minor females to to engage in sexual activity. The minor females were reportedly compensated with cash following the sexual encounters, and some were encouraged to find other minor females to ACcompany them to Mr. Epstein's residences in New York or Florida. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was pretrial at the time of his death. In a 37 page decision and order remanding the defendant signed by Judge Richard M. Berman on On July 18, 2019, 18 pages were dedicated to detailing the danger Mr. Epstein posed to others and the community. The document also alleged that he was a flight risk. As a result, Mr. Epstein's proposed bail package was determined to be inadequate. He was denied pretrial release and held on remand. This was likely significant to Mr. Epstein as he would lose the physical and and financial comfort to which he had become accustomed. Furthermore, his ability to mount the defense would be limited to the parameters of legal visits and legal work that could be accomplished in jail. These restrictions and the abundance of witnesses, victims and negative public attention were likely considerable burdens on Mr. Epstein. Institutional History On July 6, 2019, Mr. Mr. Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey upon his return from Paris, France. It's unknown whether he was anticipating his arrest. He was Transported to MCC New York and keyed into Sentry at 9:24pm that evening. Mr. Epstein was placed in general population housing for approximately 22 hours. On July 7, 2019, at approximately 7:20pm he was moved to Special housing unit pending reclassification due to the significant increase in media coverage and awareness of his notoriety among the inmate population with regard to his adjustment to a correctional setting, Mr. Epstein received one incident report while in BOP custody for self mutilation on July 23, 2019. As of August 15, 2019, the the incident report had been expunged, but it's unclear why and whether Mr. Epstein knew this. Also, a review of financial transactions associated with Mr. Epstein's prison account revealed one of his attorneys was depositing funds into his cellmate in mate Reyes commissary account for unknown reasons. The plot thickens, doesn't it? Notice how nobody talks about that, huh? Why the hell was Epstein giving Mr. Reyes money?

Lapsed Fan Podcast Host
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.

Health Care and Personality Description BOP Electronic medical records indicate Epstein was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, hypertension, constipation, prediabetes, neuralgia and neuritis. Unspecified. He was prescribed the following docusate sodium milk of magnesia, omega 3 methylpredisone, and biscadiol, whatever that is. Mr. Epstein was also prescribed insulin and the prescription required him to go to the institution pharmacy for administration of this medication. However, the dates for which it was prescribed have a notation indicating does not indicated. Thus, it does not appear insulin was routinely medically necessary. The rest of the medications prescribed were self carry. He also had a continuous positive airway pressure machine which is typically used to treat sleep apnea. Mr. Epstein was provided with his personal CPAP machine on July 30, 2019. Per be. Mr. In regard to mental health history and treatment, there are no known available records. Certainly there were records kept on Mr. Epstein's incarceration in Florida. However, the records were not available for Review as of the date of this report with regard to Psychology Data system records in BEMR. Dr. Cary redacted forensic psychologists at MCC's New York completed a routine intake screening on July 8, 2019. During the screening, Mr. Epstein denied any history of mental health problems, substance abuse and treatment. No symptoms of mental illness were observed. He was classified as mental health care level one and was not diagnosed with mental illness. Following a consultation with Dr. Redacted, National Suicide Prevention Coordinator on July 8, 2019, Dr. Redacted, Chief Psychologist at MCC New York determined Mr. Epstein should be preemptively evaluated for suicide risk upon his return from court. Primary consideration was given to his various risk factors for suicide such as his being a high profile case with media attention, his pending sex offense charges, pretrial status and ongoing court proceeding. Mr. Epstein returned from court on July 8, 2019 after normal business hours. He denied suicidal thoughts at the time, but due to the potential for other risk factors listed above, the on call psychologist placed Epstein on psychological observation in one of the suicide watch cells until he could be assessed in person by a BOP psychologist. On July 9, 2019, Mr. Epstein underwent a formal in person suicide risk assessment with Dr. Redacted. She determined that while on suicide watch was not warranted at the time, Mr. Epstein should remain on psychological observation status. Out of an abundance of caution, he was removed from psychological observation on July 10, 2010. On July 23, 2019, Dr. Redacted, the on call psychologist was notified Mr. Epstein had been found in his cell with a piece of orange cloth around his neck. Reportedly, he was observed lying in the fetal position on the floor with a noose around his neck. Medical staff evaluated Mr. Epstein and found friction marks and superficial reddening of the neck and one knee. He was placed on suicide watch by the operations lieutenant at approximately 1:40am pending a formal in person suicide risk assessment. Dr. Redacted, staff psychologist at MCC New York assessed Mr. Epstein for risk of suicide. Later in the morning of July 23, 2019, he determined that he should remain on suicide watch. Mr. Epstein denied any knowledge of how he received marks on his neck and initially informed staff that he thought that his cellmate had attempted to kill him. Special Investigative Services staff opened an investigation to assess Mr. Epstein's safety and collect facts surrounding the episode. Despite the investigation, staff were unable to determine whether he was assaulted or engaged in self directed violence. Mr. Epstein was removed from suicide watch on July 24, 2019 after 31 hours and 5 minutes. Thereafter, he remained in the suicide watch cell and was placed on psychological observation where he remained housed until July 30, 2019. According to PDS Be Mr. Records, a discrepancy exists regarding when he was removed from psychological observation. His cell assignment per century indicates that he was transferred back to the Special housing unit on July 29, 2019, whereas PDS BEMR indicates that he was removed from psychological observation on July 30, 2019 at approximately 8:15am Mr. Epstein attended a court hearing on July 31, 2019 and upon his return the United States Marshals Services provided paperwork to receiving and discharge that noted suicidal tendencies. Dr. Redacted was notified on August 1, 2019 about the paperwork. She consulted with Dr. Redacted and then met with Epstein to conduct a suicide risk assessment. She determined suicide watch was not warranted at the time. Epstein remained classified as a Mental health care Level one throughout his time at MCC New York. During his contact with psychologist, Epstein routinely denied current mental health symptoms including suicidal ideation, and he did not exhibit symptoms of of serious mental illness. His most frequent complaint was difficulty sleeping. He did not have access to his CPAP machine until it was reportedly provided to him on July 30, 2019. Mr. Epstein also reported he was bothered by noise in the shoe at times. He noted concerns related to his safety in the shoe or in general population housing unit. On two occasions, July 26, 2019 and July 27, 2019, he described himself as a coward and as someone who does not like pain. On July 28, 2019, he told Dr. Redacted the toilet seat in his cell would not stop flushing for an extended period of time and then he took to sitting in the corner with his hands over his ears. Mr. Epstein indicated he was agitated following this incident and was unable to sleep that night. All right folks, we're going to wrap up right here and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up where we left off. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
