A Tale Of Wasted Privilege: Starring Prince Andrew (9/15/25)

Prince Andrew is the ultimate cautionary tale of wasted privilege. He was born with every advantage imaginable—castles, titles, taxpayer-funded luxury, and a job description so easy it bordered on parody: wave, cut ribbons, attend parades, and stay out of scandal. That’s all it would have taken to coast quietly into old age as a harmless relic of the monarchy. But instead, Andrew chose arrogance, sleaze, and stupidity. From clinging to Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction, to babbling about sweat conditions and Pizza Express alibis on Newsnight, to humiliating himself with excuses that became memes, he torched his reputation with breathtaking incompetence. Where A Bronx Tale’s Sonny mourned wasted talent, Andrew embodies wasted privilege—proving that even the most cushioned life can collapse when handled by a fool.Now stripped of duties and titles, Andrew haunts royal estates like a ghost, exiled by the very institution built to protect him. He isn’t remembered as a naval officer, a duke, or even “the Queen’s favorite son”—he’s remembered as a global punchline. His disgrace isn’t Shakespearean tragedy but slapstick farce: a man who could have lived in effortless dignity but instead chose degeneracy and delusion. His legacy is forever tied to sweatless denials, pizza defenses, and the Epstein scandal—his crown of privilege melted down into a crown of mockery.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​Denise George, a seasoned attorney from the U.S. Virgin Islands, served as the territory's Attorney General from 2019 until her dismissal in December 2022. During her tenure, she was recognized for her unwavering commitment to justice, notably leading significant legal actions against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.In early 2020, George filed a civil enforcement lawsuit against Epstein's estate under the Virgin Islands' Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (CICO). This legal action aimed to hold Epstein's estate accountable for alleged criminal activities, including human trafficking and sexual exploitation within the Virgin Islands. Her efforts culminated in a settlement in November 2022, wherein the estate agreed to pay the Virgin Islands over $105 million and half of the proceeds from the sale of Little St. James, Epstein's private island.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson's association with Jeffrey Epstein has been scrutinized due to serious allegations. Virginia Giuffre, an accuser of Epstein, testified that she was directed by Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, to engage in sexual activities with Richardson while she was underage. Richardson's name appeared multiple times in Epstein's flight logs, indicating he traveled on Epstein's private jet. These connections raise concerns about Richardson's involvement with Epstein's illicit activities. Richardson has denied these allegations, stating through a spokesperson that he never met Giuffre and was unaware of any inappropriate conduct by Epstein. Despite these denials, the documented interactions between Richardson and Epstein, including campaign contributions from Epstein to Richardson's political endeavors, cast a shadow over Richardson's judgment and associations. The extent of Richardson's involvement with Epstein remains a subject of public concern, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability among public officials.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mark Epstein, brother of Jeffrey Epstein, has consistently expressed skepticism regarding the official account of his brother's death. He has questioned the swift conclusion by authorities that Jeffrey's death was a suicide, pointing to initial death certificates listing the cause as "pending" and highlighting irregularities in the investigation. Mark has referenced observations from forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who noted unusual fractures in Jeffrey's neck more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide. These concerns have led Mark to believe that the investigation into his brother's death was insufficient and that the possibility of foul play was prematurely dismissed. Additionally, Mark Epstein has criticized statements from officials, such as then-Attorney General William Barr, who labeled the death a suicide shortly after it occurred. He argues that despite acknowledged lapses in prison protocols and the presence of irregularities, attributing the death solely to bureaucratic failures is inadequate. Mark's persistent doubts have been fueled by the lack of comprehensive answers from the Department of Justice and other authorities, leaving him and the public with unresolved questions about the true circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Danya Perry, a former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, built her reputation handling high-profile cases and often siding with survivors in abuse scandals, including speaking out against powerful men like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Schneiderman. She now represents billionaire Leon Black, and has explained her decision as rooted in what she believes is a misuse of the legal system by accusers. Perry argues that some of the claims against Black are inconsistent with recordings, texts, and other evidence she’s reviewed, framing her role as pushing back against allegations she sees as fabricated and harmful to the credibility of genuine survivor cases.Leon Black, meanwhile, faces multiple civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct, rape, and abuse, including cases brought by Guzel Ganieva, Cheri Pierson, and others. He has denied all wrongdoing, characterizing the allegations as false and defamatory, and has pursued aggressive counter-litigation. His legal team, including Perry, has fought attempts to disqualify them from his cases, arguing that their defense is legitimate and grounded in evidence that contradicts the accusations. Perry has been central to that defense, reinforcing Black’s strategy of denying misconduct while casting doubt on his accusers’ credibility.to contact me:[email protected]:https://www.businessinsider.com/danya-perry-attorney-profile-leon-black-cuomo-cohen-schneiderman-2022-5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black, CEO of Apollo Global Management, wrote to his investors expressing regret over his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but he strongly denied wrongdoing or any inappropriate conduct. Black acknowledged that he transferred between $50 million and $75 million to Epstein as far back as 2008, and detailed that Epstein provided professional services to Black’s family partnership — services such as estate planning, tax advice, and philanthropic consulting.Black insisted that all of his dealings with Epstein were in a personal capacity and that Apollo itself did not conduct business with Epstein. He said he was “completely unaware” of, and appalled by, the wrongdoing revealed in late 2018 that led to the criminal charges against Epstein. He also pledged to cooperate with ongoing investigations, including that by the U.S. Virgin Islands, while maintaining that none of the conduct was illegal.to contact me:[email protected]:https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-jeffrey-epstein-apollo-global/apollo-ceo-black-says-he-regrets-ties-to-epstein-denies-any-wrongdoing-idUSKBN26X2PDThe letter:https://www.axios.com/leon-black-jeffrey-epstein-0eff63bd-6549-4c03-a93a-bb99766dcade.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

According to excerpts from Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, a new biography by Andrew Lownie, a tense encounter occurred following a storm in Northern Ireland in 2005. When the head of Hillsborough Castle informed Prince Andrew that the storm-damaged item had been planted by “the Queen Mother,” Andrew reportedly mocked the wording, asking, “Did you mean Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?” He then allegedly continued, "And you still don't know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f-king imbecile. Get out." A royal aide characterized the Duke’s behavior as “unbelievably cruel,” with reports that he often insisted, “I want this done and I want this done now. Do it!”This incident reinforces a broader portrayal of Prince Andrew as someone with a pattern of abrasive and demanding behavior toward staff. Royal sources and authors have frequently described such outbursts—whether through reported profanity, humiliation of aides, or other demeaning treatment—as symptomatic of his entitled demeanor behind the palace walls.o contact me:[email protected]:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11268467/Prince-Andrew-launched-torrent-foul-language-Queens-press-secretary-new-book-claims.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The USVI claims JPMorgan Chase knowingly enabled and profited from Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. According to court filings, the bank kept Epstein as a client for years—even after red flags such as his 2006 arrest and subsequent criminal behavior—and continued some business with him until not long before his 2019 arrest. The USVI also alleges that JPMorgan ignored internal warnings, accepted referrals to Epstein, financed transactions tied to his operations (including payments to his associates and victims), and helped facilitate his activities through cash and wire transfers.On top of that, the USVI says that local officials helped Epstein by granting him tax incentives, waiving requirements for monitoring registered sex offenders, and looking the other way in certain regulatory and oversight functions—all in exchange for donations, cash, or other benefits from Epstein. The territory alleges that through its banking relationship and its influence operations, JPMorgan played a role in concealing Epstein’s abuses and limiting the enforcement of laws meant to protect victims.to contact me:[email protected]:Jeffrey Epstein had 'close ties' to Gov.

George Mitchell, the former Senate Majority Leader and respected peace negotiator, was named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to. Despite the gravity of the allegation, Mitchell’s name was quietly pushed aside, his denial accepted without serious challenge, and the story faded from public discourse. Unlike figures such as Prince Andrew or Donald Trump, who were relentlessly scrutinized, Mitchell received soft handling from the media and political class, his ties to Epstein treated as an uncomfortable detail best ignored. His presence at Epstein’s townhouse and social connection to the disgraced financier raised obvious questions, but few dared to pursue them. The result was a glaring double standard that exposed how power and prestige protect certain names from accountability.This selective amnesia reveals how the Epstein scandal has been weaponized rather than fully exposed. Survivors’ testimony is amplified when it serves partisan purposes, but buried when it implicates figures like Mitchell who belong to the establishment’s “safe” circles. The hypocrisy is stark: those screaming about “the other team’s” monsters go silent when their own are implicated. Mitchell’s erasure from the mainstream narrative shows how survivors were betrayed not just by their abusers, but by a system that cherry-picks justice. His story underscores the bipartisan rot at the core of the Epstein saga—proof that truth has been traded for theater, and survivors’ voices have been muffled in service of political convenience.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Richardson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein highlight the grotesque double standard that protects the powerful. Despite being named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men she was trafficked to, Richardson—former New Mexico governor, U.N. ambassador, and establishment insider—faced almost no scrutiny. His denials were delivered with the bland, calculated tone of a man confident that his reputation and connections would shield him. The media, which treats lesser figures with endless outrage, politely buried his name, turning what should have been a career-ending scandal into a forgotten footnote. That silence was not oversight—it was a deliberate choice by the same machine that has long protected Epstein’s orbit of elites.Richardson’s case is especially damning because Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, rumored to be a hub of trafficking and secrecy, sat in New Mexico under his watch as governor. The coincidence is staggering, yet no questions were asked, no investigations launched, and no accountability pursued. His inclusion in Virginia’s sworn testimony wasn’t random—it fit a consistent pattern of Epstein surrounding himself with powerful, insulated men unlikely to face consequences. Richardson’s polished career may remain intact in polite circles, but his name is forever entwined with the Epstein scandal, serving as a perfect example of how justice bends when it brushes up against the untouchables.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
