Mega Edition: Brad Edwards Talks Prince Andrew And Ghislaine Maxwell (10/25/25)

In regard to Maxwell, Edwards described her role as central and monstrous — saying she “fed a monster” and that “without Ghislaine’s help, Jeffrey Epstein could never have abused more than 500 victims.” He said that Maxwell ought to answer questions fully about her business relationship with Epstein, “to the victims, to law enforcement and to the public,” not simply hide behind her reputation. After her conviction, Edwards hailed the outcome as a sign that “our system works,” noting it was a “major victory” for survivors and that it showed “nobody is above the law.” At the same time he pointed out that her courtroom remarks amounted only to a passive acknowledgement of pain, rather than full accountability.Turning to Prince Andrew, Edwards has been sharper and more accusatory — though he also notes legal constraints around saying more. He has asserted that Andrew’s connections to Epstein’s network are undeniable and warrant deeper scrutiny, saying Andrew does have information and that the settlement in the civil case does not equate to truth or innocence. In one interview he went as far as suggesting the Prince is “living a life of ridicule for his stupidity” in the way he handled the allegations and the fallout. He emphasized that while the settlement avoided a trial, it still leaves serious questions unanswered about complicity, accountability, and the broader ecosystem of abuse.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his infamous BBC Newsnight interview on November 16, 2019, Prince Andrew sat down with journalist Emily Maitlis to address his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre (then Roberts), who said she was trafficked to the Duke at age 17. The interview was meant to clear his name but instead became a public disaster. Andrew denied ever meeting Giuffre despite the now-iconic photo showing them together, claiming he had “no recollection” of her and insisting that on the night in question, he had been at a Pizza Express in Woking with his daughter. He also called his relationship with Epstein “very useful” for business and refused to apologize for associating with him, saying his biggest mistake was “not breaking off the friendship sooner.”Public backlash was immediate and brutal. Viewers described his answers as arrogant and tone-deaf, with one of his most ridiculed defenses being that he couldn’t have been sweating while dancing with Giuffre because a war injury from the Falklands had caused him to “temporarily lose the ability to sweat.” The interview was widely viewed as catastrophic, leading Andrew to withdraw from royal duties and lose multiple titles and patronages. It permanently damaged his reputation and deepened public disgust with both him and the monarchy, becoming one of the biggest PR disasters in royal history.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Two individuals who had accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse have dropped their civil lawsuits against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell — specifically, one being identified as Jennifer Araoz and another as “Jane Doe VII”. The timing and nature of their dismissals suggest that they may have accepted payments from a victim-compensation fund related to Epstein’s estate rather than pursuing their full civil claims in court. The article notes this pattern of dismissals may indicate a broader expectation that claimants who opt into the fund must relinquish the right to sue Maxwell or others connected to Epstein’s network.to  contact  me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The producer who was responsible for securing the interview with Prince Andrew is now coming under fire from her former colleagues at BBC and from sources within the palace who have taken umbrage with the fact that she wrote a book and now plans on being involved in bringing that story from the pages to the big screen. Critics speaking as unnamed sources have reached out to the telegraph to tell their story.

In his first public interview following Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentencing, attorney David Boies described the outcome as a “satisfying” step toward justice—while acknowledging that the broader fight is far from over. He conveyed that Maxwell’s 20-year sentence brought a measure of closure to victims of Jeffrey Epstein and signalled that even powerful individuals can be held accountable. Nonetheless, Boies stressed his concern that numerous other collaborators and enablers have not faced criminal scrutiny and that as time passes, the likelihood of further prosecutions diminishes.Boies also raised alarms about secrecy in the investigation and litigation process: he pointed out that, despite having shared extensive civil-case materials with federal prosecutors years ago, many records remain sealed and many victims remain unheard. He asserted that the scale and longevity of the abuse could not have occurred without the “co-operation of a lot of additional people” and called for continued pressure on the justice system to bring those people to account.to contact  me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When 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:[email protected]:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation wrapped up a massive federal investigation on October 23 2025 that took down 30+ people across 11 states for illegal gambling and sports-betting schemes. One major case, dubbed “Operation Royal Flush,” involved rigged high-stakes poker games backed by Mafia families—complete with manipulated shuffling machines, even X-ray tables to cheat players. Billups, head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, was arrested in Oregon for participating in one of the rigged games; prosecutors say he acted as a “face card” to lure bettors and was paid to attend games he knew were fixed.In a related but separate probe, the FBI also charged players and coaches for using inside information from NBA teams to place bets. For example, Terry Rozier of the Miami Heat was accused of providing confidential team info so that bets could be placed advantageously. Billups wasn’t charged for this insider betting part, but he is facing serious wire-fraud and money-laundering charges for the poker ring.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The UK’s Metropolitan Police Service (Met) is now “actively looking” into fresh allegations that Prince Andrew allegedly used a taxpayer-funded police bodyguard to obtain the U.S. Social Security number and date of birth of his accuser, Virginia Giuffre — apparently to dig up “dirt” on her. These new allegations arise from leaked emails and Giuffre’s recently published posthumous memoir, and they have reignited calls for a full criminal inquiry in the UK after previous investigations by the Met opted not to open one. Sources suggest that if evidence is found that the royal improperly sought to direct or influence police resources, then the offence of misconduct in public office could be in play.Meanwhile, in the United States and in political circles, pressure is building for action — though no formal prosecution has yet been confirmed. U.S. lawmakers such as Nancy Mace have publicly demanded that any potential crimes by Prince Andrew on U.S. soil be pursued, and parliamentarians in the UK are calling for a mechanism to strip him of titles and privileges as accountability ramps up. The combination of renewed documentary claims, political uproar, and active investigation means that this may no longer be purely a reputational or civil matter — the threshold for possible criminal exposure appears to be closer than at any time in recent years.to contact me:[email protected]:Could Prince Andrew ever be prosecuted over his links to Jeffrey Epstein? | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
