The Vault: The Epstein Files
Hosted by Bobby Capucci · EN
The Vault: The Epstein Files Unsealed is a deep-dive investigative podcast that pulls back the curtain on one of the most protected criminal networks in modern history. This series is built from the ground up on the actual paper trail—unsealed court records, depositions, exhibits, emails, and filings that were never meant to be read by the public. No pundit panels. No spin. Just the documents themselves, examined line by line, name by name, connection by connection—paired with precise, document-driven analysis that explains what the record truly shows.
Each episode opens the vault on newly unsealed or long-buried Epstein files and walks listeners through what they actually reveal about power, money, influence, and the systems that failed survivors at every turn. Alongside the filings themselves, informed commentary breaks down the legal strategy, the institutional behavior, the contradictions, and the implications hiding between the lines. From judges’ orders and sealed exhibits to sworn testimony and back-channel communications, the show connects the dots the media often won’t—or can’t. Patterns emerge. Timelines collapse. Excuses fall apart.
The Vault is a working archive in audio form, a living record of the Epstein case as told by the courts themselves—supplemented by rigorous analysis that provides context, challenges official narratives, and exposes where the record has been distorted, sanitized, or deliberately ignored. Every claim is grounded in filings. Every episode is anchored to the record. Listeners aren’t told what to think—they are shown what exists, what was said under oath, and what the commentary reveals about how those facts were buried, softened, or misrepresented.
If you want to understand how Jeffrey Epstein was protected, who circled him, how institutions closed ranks, and why accountability keeps slipping through the cracks, The Vault: The Epstein Files Unsealed is where the record finally speaks for itself—and where the commentary ensures the documents do what no press release ever will.

The Epstein Criminal Enterprise And The Nadia Marcinkova Conundrum (Part 2) (5/19/26)
Yesterday00:12:31Tap to summarizeNadia Marcinko, born Nadia Marcinková in Slovakia, is being pulled back into the Epstein story because Congress is now moving closer to the uncomfortable gray zone that has always surrounded Epstein’s inner circle: the line between victim, girlfriend, employee, facilitator, and protected potential co-conspirator. Marcinko reportedly met Epstein when she was an 18-year-old model, later became a pilot, and spent years as one of his closest companions. She was one of the four women named by prosecutors in Epstein’s 2008 plea deal as “potential co-conspirators,” alongside figures like Sarah Kellen and Lesley Groff, but she has never been criminally charged. Marcinko has also described herself as a victim of Epstein, saying she was physically and psychologically abused by him.The renewed interest comes as congressional investigators begin questioning Epstein-linked women who were protected by the original Florida plea arrangement, forcing a broader public reckoning with how Epstein’s system actually functioned. The central issue is whether someone inside Epstein’s world could have been both exploited by him and later used by him to help maintain access, movement, legitimacy, and control. Marcinko has largely disappeared from public view, but the BBC frames her as a potentially important witness because of her proximity to Epstein, her role as a pilot, her long relationship with him, and her inclusion in the controversial plea deal. Her possible testimony would not just be about her own story; it could help clarify how Epstein’s operation blurred coercion, loyalty, dependency, privilege, and protection into one of the most legally frustrating parts of the entire scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Victim or enabler?

Transcribe →House Oversight Questions Tova Noel About Epstein’s Final Hours (5/19/26)
Yesterday00:23:28Tap to summarizeFormer MCC guard Tova Noel, believed to be the last person to see Jeffrey Epstein alive before his death in August 2019, testified before the House Oversight Committee that Epstein received “special treatment” while housed at the federal jail in Manhattan. According to lawmakers who attended the interview, Noel said Epstein was treated differently from other inmates, including receiving extra bed linens, access to a CPAP machine, and medications in a manner that stood out from normal inmate handling. That testimony immediately sharpened the central question surrounding Epstein’s custody: not simply whether he died by suicide, but how a high-profile inmate who had reportedly attempted suicide weeks earlier was still able to obtain the very materials later tied to his death.Noel also addressed questions about roughly $12,000 in cash deposits she received between April 2018 and July 2019, including one deposit shortly before Epstein died, saying those transfers had nothing to do with Epstein. Lawmakers noted that earlier FBI review of her bank records did not find evidence of a bribe, but the broader picture remains damning for MCC’s basic security failures. Noel and another guard had previously been charged with falsifying records to make it appear they performed required inmate checks, with both later reaching deals that led to the charges being dropped. The testimony adds another layer to the long-running scrutiny of Epstein’s death: a facility already plagued by staffing failures, missed rounds, falsified logs, unexplained special privileges, and a chain of custody so broken that even lawmakers who accept the official suicide finding are still asking how the system allowed it to happen.to contact me:bobycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein got 'special treatment' in jail, former guard tells House Oversight Committee - ABC News
Transcribe →France’s Epstein Investigation Expands as New Victims Come Forward (5/19/26)
Yesterday00:10:50Tap to summarizeFrench prosecutors investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in France say roughly ten previously unidentified women have recently come forward claiming they were victims connected to Epstein or his wider network. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the total number of people who have now contacted investigators has climbed to around twenty after French authorities publicly encouraged potential victims earlier this year to speak out. The renewed French investigation was launched after the release of additional U.S. investigative files related to Epstein, prompting authorities in Paris to revisit allegations tied to crimes committed in France or involving French nationals.The French probe is now expanding beyond simple trafficking allegations and is examining a broader web of facilitators, recruiters, and financial connections surrounding Epstein’s operations in Europe. Investigators are reportedly revisiting old leads involving figures like French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who had long been accused by multiple women of helping recruit vulnerable young girls into Epstein’s orbit before his death in a Paris jail in 2022. French magistrates are also reviewing testimony connected to Epstein’s Paris apartment near the Arc de Triomphe, where authorities believe parts of the trafficking operation may have been coordinated. Prosecutors described the investigation as a “labyrinth,” with victims identifying additional names and connections as authorities attempt to map out the full scope of Epstein’s network inside France.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Around 10 'new' victims come forward in France's Epstein investigation - France 24
Transcribe →Claims of Private Visits and Special Access for Ghislaine Maxwell (5/19/26)
Yesterday00:11:22Tap to summarizeFormer prison employee and whistleblower Noella Turnage alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell received unusually favorable treatment while incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, claiming Maxwell enjoyed privileges unavailable to ordinary inmates. According to leaked emails and internal communications described by Turnage, Maxwell allegedly had private family visits arranged with snacks, bottled water, and reserved visitation areas for relatives traveling from the United Kingdom. Turnage claimed the accommodations were so extensive that regular visitation for other inmates was reportedly shut down on at least one occasion to make room for Maxwell’s family visits. Maxwell allegedly wrote to her brother describing the experience as so surreal that it felt like she had “dropped through Alice in Wonderland’s looking glass.”The allegations added to growing scrutiny over whether Maxwell has been treated differently from other federal inmates since her transfer from the more restrictive facility in Tallahassee to the lower-security prison camp in Texas. Turnage claimed Maxwell had unusually direct access to prison leadership and received special deliveries of food and water directly to her cell, while former inmates also accused her of skipping lines and acting entitled inside the prison. The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment specifically on Maxwell but said allegations of preferential treatment are taken seriously because they violate institutional policy. The claims have fueled broader criticism that Maxwell, despite her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic and abuse underage girls, continues to receive accommodations and protections far beyond what ordinary federal prisoners would ever expect.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell 'boasted about VIP treatment in prison & used special relationship with jail warden to get rare perks'
Transcribe →Mega Edition: Alex Acosta And His Epstein Related Congressional Deposition (Part 16-20) (5/19/26)
Yesterday00:56:18Tap to summarizeWhen Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google Drive

Transcribe →Ghislaine Maxwell And The Deposition That Led To Her Downfall (Part 20) (5/18/26)
Yesterday00:15:21Tap to summarizeIn a videotaped deposition taken in April 2016, Maxwell was questioned under oath about Giuffre’s allegations of being groomed and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell—allegations that she vehemently denied, calling Giuffre an “absolute liar” and asserting she had no involvement in recruiting or abusing her. Maxwell repeatedly refused to answer questions about alleged sexual activity with minors—labeling them as inquiries into “consensual adult sex”—and insisted she had no knowledge of underage abuse. She denied any wrongdoing or participation in Epstein’s trafficking network, attempting to distance herself from all aspects of Giuffre’s claims.Critics and federal prosecutors later pointed to this deposition as a key piece of evidence in her criminal indictment: they argue Maxwell knowingly made false statements under oath, which became the basis for two counts of perjury in her 2021 criminal charges. Despite her denials, corroborating evidence—including testimony about threesomes with minor girls, flight logs, and recruitment patterns—cast serious doubt on her credibility. Giuffre’s suit was ultimately settled in 2017, reportedly for millions of dollars, but the unsealed deposition—and Maxwell’s fierce denials—now serve as a stark contrast to the weight of testimony and documentation later vetted in court.source:Ghislaine Maxwell Deposition Transcript - DocumentCloud
