In Case No. 24-cv-12647, United States District Judge Judith E. Levy issued an opinion and order granting the defendant’s motion to dismiss the case. The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish sufficient grounds for their claims, leading to the dismissal of the case in favor of the defendant. Additionally, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion for permission to file an interlocutory appeal, indicating that the appeal did not meet the criteria for such a request at this stage of the proceedings.The court also addressed the defendant's motion for sanctions, ultimately denying it. While the dismissal of the case resolved the central legal issues, the court determined that sanctions were not warranted under the circumstances. The rulings collectively ended the litigation in favor of the defendant without imposing additional penalties or restrictions on the plaintiff.to contact me:[email protected]:Microsoft Word - Cardello-Smith Opinion and Order Final.docxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the evening of January 29, 2025, an American Airlines regional jet operating as Flight 5342 collided mid-air with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. The aircraft, en route from Kansas, was carrying 60 passengers and four crew members. The collision occurred around 9:00 PM local time, resulting in both aircraft crashing into the frigid waters of the Potomac River. Emergency response teams were promptly dispatched to the scene.Initial reports indicate that there are no survivors among the 64 individuals on board the passenger jet. The exact number of personnel aboard the Black Hawk helicopter has not been confirmed, but it is feared that all occupants perished in the accident. The collision led to the grounding of all flights at Reagan National Airport as authorities initiated search and recovery operations. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the collision, with a focus on air traffic control communications and potential mechanical failures.(commercial at 8:42)to contact me:[email protected]:What we know about the American Airlines plane and Army helicopter crash over D.C.'s Potomac River - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On January 17, 2025, members of the Sinaloa Cartel executed a heist on a BNSF cargo train traveling north of Phoenix, Arizona. The cartel members reportedly severed the train's air brakes, forcing it to stop near Perrin, Arizona. They then offloaded approximately $202,500 worth of Nike merchandise from the train into a waiting box truck. Authorities were alerted after BNSF employees discovered the severed air hose and noticed suspicious activity nearby. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of eleven individuals connected to the theft, nine of whom were in the United States illegally and six identified as natives of Sinaloa.This incident is part of a broader trend of cargo train robberies attributed to Mexican cartels. Over the past two years, such thefts have been on the rise, with cartels targeting trains carrying valuable goods like electronics, tools, and footwear. Their methods often involve sabotaging train systems, such as cutting air hoses or tampering with signal boxes, to halt the trains and facilitate the theft. The stolen merchandise is typically sold through online platforms or to cooperative retailers. Law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to combat this growing threat to supply chain security.to contact me:[email protected]:Sinaloa Cartel's cargo train Nike shoe heist latest in criminal trend: experts | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Jane Doe et al. v. Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands et al., 23-cv-10301, Cecile de Jongh's legal counsel has requested an informal conference to discuss staying depositions. This request is made pursuant to Local Rule 37.2 and Rule 5 of the Court's Individual Practices. The proposed stay would delay depositions until 30 days after the Court rules on the pending motions to dismiss. The argument emphasizes the importance of resolving these motions first to prevent unnecessary or premature discovery efforts.Ms. de Jongh's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 122) raises issues that mirror a previous case, Bensky v. Indyke, in which the Court granted a motion to dismiss. In that case, the Court ruled that certain claims lacked sufficient legal basis, and the defense argues this precedent strongly supports their position in the current matter. Given the similarity of legal questions and the Court’s prior ruling, the request highlights the prudence of staying depositions to ensure judicial efficiency and avoid unnecessary burdens on the parties involved.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Recent allegations have surfaced against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming he employed individuals to recruit young women for intimate encounters at his parties. At a 2004 White Party in the Hamptons, men allegedly approached female attendees, suggesting it was an honor to spend private time with Combs. One woman, identified as Lisa, recounted being propositioned but declined, perceiving the true nature of the request. Another attendee accepted and later regretted the experience.These claims align with statements from former employee Phillip Pines, who alleges he was responsible for organizing and cleaning up after Combs's "Wild King Nights" between 2019 and 2021. Pines asserts he was tasked with procuring supplies for these events and is currently suing Combs for sexual battery, harassment, and trafficking. Combs faces multiple legal challenges, including criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, which he denies.In the case Doe v. Combs et al., No. 1:24-cv-07975-AT, defendant Shawn Carter (professionally known as Jay-Z) filed a motion on December 9, 2024, seeking to expedite a hearing concerning the plaintiff's request to proceed anonymously. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that Carter and co-defendant Sean Combs sexually assaulted her in 2000 when she was 13 years old. Carter's motion argues that allowing the plaintiff to remain anonymous hampers his ability to mount an effective defense and that public interest favors disclosure of all parties' identities in legal proceedings.Carter's legal team contends that the allegations are baseless and part of a calculated attempt to tarnish his reputation. They emphasize the need for an expedited hearing to address the anonymity issue promptly, citing the significant media attention and potential harm to Carter's personal and professional life. The court has yet to rule on the motion to expedite or the underlying request concerning the plaintiff's anonymity.In our next segment...In a letter to the court dated December 30, 2024, Plaintiff Jane Doe's legal team responded to Defendant Shawn Carter's request to file a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint (FAC) under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Carter's request argues that the FAC fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The plaintiff's counsel maintains that the FAC sufficiently alleges detailed and substantiated claims of sexual assault and other misconduct, asserting that Carter's motion to dismiss is without merit and should not proceed.Jane Doe's legal team emphasizes that the FAC meets the required pleading standards and provides a robust factual basis to sustain the claims. They argue that the dismissal motion is an attempt to delay the proceedings and detract from the core allegations. The plaintiff's response underscores the importance of moving forward with the case to ensure that Jane Doe's claims are addressed promptly and fairly in court. The court will consider the parties' submissions in determining whether to grant Carter leave to file the motion.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Legal expert Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, has analyzed Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense strategy amid his serious legal challenges. Rahmani emphasizes that Combs' primary defense hinges on demonstrating that all sexual encounters were consensual. Given that the allegations involve adults, establishing consent is crucial to countering charges of sex trafficking and related offenses. Rahmani notes, "The only chance he has of winning this case is if witnesses testify and jurors believe that it was consensual."However, Rahmani acknowledges the significant obstacles Combs faces in this defense. The prosecution reportedly possesses substantial evidence, including video recordings of the alleged incidents, which could corroborate the accusers' claims and challenge the consent argument. Rahmani points out that such evidence is compelling, stating, "Witnesses can lie but a video never lies."This suggests that overcoming the prosecution's case will be challenging, as the available evidence may undermine the defense's assertions of consensual interactions.In this episode, we hear from Mr. Rahmani as we continue to navigate our way through the case against Diddy.  (commercial at 9:01)to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy claims feds took attorney-client privileged documents from jail | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Sinaloa Cartel has established a vast international presence, extending its operations far beyond its origins in Mexico. In the United States, the cartel has entrenched itself in numerous cities, utilizing sophisticated distribution networks to supply narcotics such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. The cartel's influence is particularly pronounced in border states like California, Arizona, and Texas, but its reach extends nationwide, contributing significantly to the opioid crisis. Beyond the U.S., the Sinaloa Cartel has expanded into Canada, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and the Middle East, establishing a global footprint in the illicit drug trade.The cartel's international expansion is facilitated through strategic alliances with various criminal organizations worldwide. In Colombia, partnerships with paramilitary groups such as the Clan del Golfo enable the production and trafficking of cocaine. In Europe, collaborations with entities like the 'Ndrangheta in Italy and the Kinahan Organized Crime Group in Ireland have been reported. The cartel also engages with Chinese triads, including Sun Yee On and the 14K Triad, to procure precursor chemicals necessary for synthetic drug production, particularly fentanyl and methamphetamine. These global alliances have allowed the Sinaloa Cartel to diversify its operations and solidify its position as one of the world's most powerful and far-reaching drug trafficking organizations.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The moronity of Prince Andrew is the stuff of legend at this point, and he just continues to build on that foundation of stupidity by the day. When Prince Andrew was originally nailed for hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, after the picture of the two emerged during a walk in central park, the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family told us that he was only there to do the honorable thing: Break up with his bff in person. At the time, we called it BS.Breaking news:It's still a load of manure. In this episode, we hear how Prince Andrew was trying to get Jeffrey Epstein involved in a 200 million dollar scheme to fund an energy company while he was supposed to be "breaking up" with Epstein.(commercial at 7:42)to contact me:[email protected]:Court documents reveal Prince Andrew asked Jeffrey Epstein for help over $200million oil deal | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As the lawsuit filed by the USVI continues to grow, we are learning more and more about the allegations that they are making and those allegations are damning for JP Morgan if verified. According to new reports, executives at JP Morgan well fully aware of who and what Jeffrey Epstein was, and even made jokes in emails about him and Miley Cyrus (who was on Hannah Montana at the time.) This runs directly head on into the narrative that JP Morgan has been trying to pitch where they, instead have blamed Jes Staley. The trial is set to begin on October 23rd.(commercial at 7:14)to contact me:[email protected]:JP Morgan execs were familiar with Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young girls, new lawsuit claims | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
