Steve Tisch Moves Giants Ownership Stake After Epstein Email Revelations (3/13/26)

Billionaire financier Leon Black was ordered to sit for a deposition as part of a civil lawsuit brought by women who say they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and who are now suing Bank of America for allegedly facilitating Epstein’s trafficking network. The lawsuit claims the bank failed to properly scrutinize suspicious financial activity tied to Epstein, including large payments that Black made to Epstein over several years. Those payments—reported to total more than $150 million between 2012 and 2017—were described by Black as compensation for tax and estate planning advice. Lawyers for the accusers argue that the money and related financial relationships helped sustain Epstein’s trafficking operation, making Black a critical witness in the broader effort to examine how Epstein’s financial network functioned.A federal judge ruled that Black must provide sworn testimony, though the deposition was briefly delayed and rescheduled for late March after his attorneys sought additional time, citing the possibility of settlement discussions in the case. The deposition is expected to last up to eight hours, with questioning divided between attorneys for Epstein’s accusers and lawyers representing Bank of America. Black has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes and maintains that his payments were solely for legitimate financial services. The lawsuit against the bank is part of a wider wave of litigation seeking accountability from financial institutions that allegedly handled Epstein’s accounts despite warning signs, following earlier settlements involving other major banks tied to Epstein’s financial dealings.to contact me:[email protected]:Leon Black, billionaire financier, to be deposed in Epstein victims' suit against Bank of AmericaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings are moving to transfer their remaining ownership stake in the NFL franchise to trusts controlled by their children following renewed scrutiny over Tisch’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes after newly released Epstein documents revealed hundreds of references to Tisch, including emails from 2013 in which Epstein allegedly discussed women with him and suggested introductions to women from countries such as Ukraine and Russia. In one exchange, Tisch reportedly asked whether a woman Epstein described as “exotic” and “Tahitian” was a “working girl.” Tisch has said the correspondence involved discussions about adult women as well as movies, philanthropy, and investments, and he maintains that he never visited Epstein’s private island or accepted invitations from him.The Tisch family already held most of its stake in the Giants through trusts, but the plan would transfer the remaining portion—roughly 10% of the team held directly by the siblings—into those family trusts as well, leaving them without direct ownership if the NFL finance committee approves the move. Despite stepping away from direct ownership, Tisch is expected to remain chairman of the Giants’ board, meaning his influence within the organization could continue even after the ownership restructuring. The New York Giants, one of the most valuable franchises in the NFL, are primarily controlled by the Mara family, with the Tisch family having been co-owners since 1991. The decision to move the ownership stake comes amid increasing scrutiny surrounding Epstein-related revelations and just ahead of an NFL owners meeting where the controversy could have become a topic of discussion.to contact me:[email protected]:Steve Tisch, family transferring Giants ownership after explosive, 'working girl' Epstein email revelationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A former inmate who served time with Ghislaine Maxwell at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee claimed Maxwell was widely disliked by both prisoners and staff and frequently clashed with others over her behavior inside the facility. The former inmate, who used a pseudonym while speaking publicly about her time in prison, said Maxwell often acted entitled and ignored normal prison routines. According to her account, Maxwell would sometimes skip the food line in the chow hall while other inmates waited and regularly filed complaints about conditions inside the prison. The former inmate claimed Maxwell submitted hundreds of complaints in a single year covering issues ranging from food portions to daily living conditions, which allegedly caused frustration among both guards and fellow inmates. She also said Maxwell worked out frequently but rarely showered afterward, which became a point of ridicule and tension among prisoners living in close quarters.The former inmate also described several incidents that illustrated the hostility Maxwell faced from other prisoners because of her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls. According to the account, inmates considered Maxwell among the lowest-status prisoners due to the nature of her crimes, and her social circle inside the prison was small. Despite the tension, Maxwell reportedly taught classes to other inmates on etiquette and legal procedures, helping them understand how to file motions in court. The former inmate said Maxwell appeared knowledgeable about legal issues and served as a sort of informal instructor during the classes. She also claimed Maxwell avoided discussing Epstein or high-profile figures connected to the scandal and became angry when a television series about her aired in the prison recreation area. The attention surrounding Maxwell also caused disruptions at the facility, with helicopters and aircraft sometimes flying overhead in attempts to photograph her, occasionally triggering lockdowns inside the prison.to contact me:[email protected]:Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's clashes with inmates after 'cozying up to prison diva, skipping food lines, & not showering'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Richardson’s political career in New Mexico has long been shadowed by persistent allegations of corruption that never fully disappeared, even after federal prosecutors declined to bring charges. The most serious accusations centered on a suspected “pay-to-play” network in which state investment contracts and pension-fund deals allegedly flowed to major campaign donors during his tenure as governor. Multiple reports detailed how financial firms that contributed heavily to Richardson’s political committees later secured lucrative placement fees or state investment mandates, raising questions about whether public funds were being used to reward political loyalty rather than financial merit. Additional claims — including accusations that judicial applicants were pressured to donate to Richardson-aligned campaigns — only deepened public suspicion that political access and personal advancement in the state were intertwined in ways that undermined transparency and trust.Because these allegations sit atop an already troubled history of political ethics scandals in New Mexico, watchdog groups and legal observers argue that the entire system demands a comprehensive, independent investigation. The state has endured a long pattern of corruption cases involving high-ranking officials, from state treasurers convicted of extortion and racketeering to judges implicated in political bribery schemes. Against that backdrop, the unresolved questions surrounding Richardson’s tenure — the investment deals, the political fundraising machinery, and the federal probe that forced him to withdraw from a Cabinet nomination — continue to raise legitimate concerns about oversight failures. A full, transparent examination of these issues is not only warranted but necessary if New Mexico hopes to repair public confidence and determine whether political influence distorted the management of taxpayer money.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal brief argued that her 2021 federal conviction for sex-trafficking related offenses should be overturned because the prosecution violated a prior non-prosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal authorities in Florida in 2007. Her legal team contended that the agreement was intended to protect not only Epstein but also potential co-conspirators, which they argued should have shielded Maxwell from later prosecution in New York. The brief asserted that federal prosecutors ignored the scope of that agreement and proceeded with charges that were effectively tied to the same conduct already addressed in the earlier deal. Maxwell’s attorneys claimed this amounted to a fundamental legal error and asked the appellate court to vacate the conviction.The appeal also challenged several aspects of the trial itself, including evidentiary rulings and witness testimony. Maxwell’s lawyers argued that the court allowed testimony about allegations and conduct that fell outside the specific timeframe of the charges, which they said unfairly prejudiced the jury. They also argued that the prosecution’s presentation relied heavily on emotionally charged accounts that were not directly tied to the counts in the indictment. In addition, the brief questioned the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the conviction and maintained that Maxwell did not receive a fair trial. Based on those arguments, her attorneys asked the appeals court either to overturn the conviction outright or to order a new trial.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s operation cannot be understood through the lens of a traditional sex trafficking ring. Unlike figures such as Heidi Fleiss, Epstein wasn’t in it for monetary gain or running a transactional enterprise. His network operated on two levels: the first was driven by his personal compulsions, where he targeted vulnerable high school girls in Palm Beach and New York to satisfy his own deviance. The second level was more strategic—trafficked women, often brought in by Ghislaine Maxwell or Jean-Luc Brunel, were used as leverage, positioned before powerful men in Epstein’s properties to entangle them in compromise and silence.This dual structure transformed his crimes into something far more insidious than prostitution or trafficking-for-profit. Epstein weaponized abuse itself, turning victims not only into prey but into tools of influence. The men who participated weren’t mere clients—they became co-conspirators, drawn into a system where their indulgence bound them to Epstein’s web of secrecy and power. In this sense, Epstein’s empire was less about sex as commerce and more about sex as control, creating a machinery of corruption that blurred every line between victim, perpetrator, and accomplice.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed that in the early hours of July 23, 2019, his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione—an ex-cop then awaiting trial for multiple murders—tried to kill him. According to corrections officers’ logs, Epstein was found in his cell in a fetal position, barely responsive, with orange fabric tied around his neck. He initially told officers he believed Tartaglione attacked him, alleging threats and pressure to pay up, fear of violence because of his charges, and that Tartaglione had been harassing him. But Epstein later retracted that claim, saying he couldn’t remember exactly what happened.Investigations into the incident have raised doubts about what actually took place. The Metropolitan Correctional Center’s video system either didn’t capture the event or footage was missing. Jail staff and psychologists have considered several possibilities: that Epstein was assaulted, but also that the event could have been a suicide attempt—whether planned, practiced, or accidental—or something else altogether. The lack of clear evidence, conflicting statements from Epstein and Tartaglione, and mislaid video have all contributed to lingering questions.to contact me:[email protected]:The night Jeffrey Epstein claimed his cellmate tried to kill him - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein were quick to condemn Kash Patel’s claim that there was “no credible evidence” of Epstein trafficking victims to anyone but himself. They pointed out that the public record alone undermines Patel’s statement. Virginia Giuffre’s sworn depositions, the Maxwell trial testimony, and multiple FBI interview summaries (FD-302s) make direct references to high-profile individuals. Survivors also reminded the public that members of Congress, including Rep. Thomas Massie, have already stated in hearings that victims named more than 20 powerful men—including billionaires, politicians, and a prince—to whom they were trafficked.They accused Patel of either ignoring or deliberately minimizing the mountain of corroborating evidence. Beyond official court documents and sworn testimony, survivors criticized him for deferring to prior DOJ conclusions without releasing the raw FBI reports or victim statements. They demanded transparency in the form of unsealed FD-302s, noting that nothing in Epstein’s controversial non-prosecution agreement prevents their disclosure. Survivors said Patel’s statement not only insults them but perpetuates the cover-up, and they called for immediate accountability.to contact me:[email protected]:Epstein Survivors Blast FBI Director Kash Patel For Claiming 'No Credible Information' Financier Trafficked Women to OthersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
