The United States Virgin Islands has been in hot pursuit of as much money as they can get their hands on when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. That pursuit has brought them in direct conflict with JP Morgan, who unlike previous people dragged into the maelstrom, have decided to fight fire with fire and that continued during the deposition of the former first lady of the USVI when she admitted that she was still utilizing her friendship with Epstein and benefiting from that friendship all the way up until 2017.Meanwhile, the USVI continues to try and insist that they had no power whatsoever to stop Jeffrey Epstein. The trial is set to begin October 2nd in New York.(commercial at 9:41)to contact me:[email protected]:EXCLUSIVE: Former First Lady of the US Virgin Islands Cecile de Jongh admitted to staying at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment in 2017 for knee replacement surgery | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Brandon Swanson, a 19-year-old college student from Minnesota, vanished on May 14, 2008, after his car got stuck in a ditch while he was driving home from a night out with friends. Believing he was near the town of Lynd, Brandon called his parents for help, but despite his directions, they couldn’t locate him. Frustrated, he decided to walk toward nearby lights he thought were in Lynd, keeping his father on the phone. Just after 2:30 a.m., he exclaimed, “Oh, shit!” and the line went silent—his last known words.The next day, authorities discovered that Brandon was actually near Porter, about 20 miles from where he believed he was. His car was found, but searches of the surrounding area, including the Yellow Medicine River, revealed no trace of him. Despite extensive searches and numerous theories—including accidental drowning, hypothermia, or foul play—no definitive evidence has surfaced.His parents, devastated by his disappearance, advocated for “Brandon’s Law,” which mandates that Minnesota law enforcement treat adult missing person cases with urgency. To this day, the mystery remains unsolved, with his family and the community still holding out hope for closure, haunted by his chilling last words and the lingering mystery of his fate.(commercial at 7:08)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the night of December 27, 1999, Sean "Diddy" Combs, then known as Puff Daddy, entered Club New York in Manhattan with his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez and protégé Shyne, expecting a night of celebration. What began as a glamorous evening for the trio quickly spiraled into chaos when a confrontation with a clubgoer escalated, leading to gunfire. In the aftermath, three patrons were injured by stray bullets, and Diddy, Lopez, and Shyne fled the scene, only to be caught in a high-speed police chase that ended in their arrest. Diddy denied ownership of a handgun found in the vehicle, and while Lopez was released without charges, Diddy faced legal scrutiny, and Shyne ultimately took the fall, receiving a 10-year prison sentence. This event marked a turning point for each of them: Lopez went on to build a successful career, Shyne turned his life around after prison, and Diddy faced a tarnished reputation despite his legal acquittal.Years later, in 2024, Diddy’s past returned to haunt him with federal charges of sex trafficking, coercion, and racketeering under the RICO Act, accusing him of leading a criminal enterprise built on exploitation and abuse. If convicted, Diddy could face decades in prison, casting a dark shadow over his once-celebrated legacy. The arrest has sparked widespread public and industry reflection on the consequences of unchecked power and influence, as Diddy’s once-storied career now stands on the brink of collapse. His journey from hip-hop mogul to accused criminal underscores the dangers of a life driven by ambition without accountability, transforming his success story into a stark cautionary tale.(commercial at 13:10)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Recent judicial decisions denying anonymity to plaintiffs in sexual assault lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs could significantly influence other pending and future cases against him. In October 2024, U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that a woman accusing Combs of rape in 2004 must reveal her identity to proceed with her lawsuit. The judge emphasized the public's interest in open judicial proceedings and Combs' right to investigate the accuser's background and credibility. This decision sets a precedent that may compel other plaintiffs to disclose their identities, potentially deterring some from pursuing legal action due to fears of public exposure and retaliation. The implications of this ruling extend beyond individual cases, potentially affecting the broader landscape of sexual assault litigation involving high-profile figures. Legal experts suggest that requiring plaintiffs to identify themselves could discourage victims from coming forward, especially when the accused holds significant power and influence. This development may lead to a chilling effect on the filing of similar lawsuits, as potential plaintiffs weigh the personal risks of public identification against seeking justice. Consequently, the balance between a defendant's right to a fair trial and a plaintiff's right to privacy remains a contentious issue in the legal system.Let's dive in!(commercial at 8:46)to contact me:[email protected]:Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs case: What the Jane Doe ruling could mean for the other already-filed cases | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a lawsuit filed in October 2024, a personal trainer, identified as "John Doe," accused Sean "Diddy" Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting him during an after-party at Combs' Los Angeles mansion in June 2022. The trainer alleged that upon arrival, he was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement and was given a drink that caused him to feel disoriented and weak. He claimed that Combs led him to a room where multiple individuals, including celebrities, were engaged in sexual activities. The trainer asserted that Combs removed his pants and performed non-consensual oral sex on him, then directed him to perform similar acts on another male celebrity. He described feeling incapacitated and unable to resist, stating that he was "passed around like a party favor" for others' sexual gratification.The lawsuit further alleged that the trainer experienced periods of unconsciousness during the assaults and later found himself outside his apartment without his shirt or phone, with no recollection of how he got there. He claimed that the incident led to severe emotional distress and financial losses. The lawsuit included a photograph of a container allegedly used by Combs or his associates to administer gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a substance often linked to drug-facilitated sexual assault. Combs' legal team denied the allegations, labeling them as false and publicity-driven.(commercial at 7:03)to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.630243.1.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein had a cabin on the campus of Interlochen in Michigan. According to the official story he only used the cabin once.The question is...can the official story be believed?(Commercial at 9:18)To contact me:[email protected]:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12588528/jeffrey-epstein-ghislaine-maxwell-woodland-boarding-school-target-pupils/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein had a long history working for and with the government, even if they do not want to acknowledge it. One example of this is when he turned snitch on his former company and helped the feds put some of his colleagues away. Somehow, just like every other time he had a brush with the law, he ended up landing on his feet. The reason? He was being protected by certain elements in the government.Let's dive in and discuss it!(commercial at 8:34)To contact me:[email protected]:https://nypost.com/2018/11/28/pedophile-millionaire-dodged-harsh-sentence-by-ratting-out-bear-stearns-execs/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
