Gone But Not Forgotten: Lean Roberts And Adrien Mcnaughton (1/17/25)

Allegations have surfaced that politicians in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) enabled Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities through a combination of negligence and direct assistance. Notably, court documents reveal that Epstein maintained "close ties" with USVI Governor Albert Bryan Jr., who allegedly solicited donations from Epstein for local schools and his inaugural committee. Furthermore, former Attorney General Denise George testified that Governor Bryan personally lobbied her in 2019 to grant Epstein a special waiver to the territory’s sex offender law, allowing him to travel without restrictions. Such actions suggest a troubling level of complicity among high-ranking officials, raising questions about the integrity of the USVI's political leadership.The situation is further compounded by the abrupt dismissal of Attorney General George in January 2023, shortly after she filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, accusing the bank of facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking operations. This move has been widely criticized as an attempt to stifle accountability and obstruct justice. The USVI government's actions, including engaging Epstein in legislative matters and accepting his financial contributions, reflect a profound failure to protect vulnerable individuals and uphold the rule of law. Such behavior not only tarnishes the reputation of the territory but also underscores the urgent need for systemic reforms to prevent the exploitation of power for personal gain.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In January 2025, rapper Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging that the company promoted Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which falsely accuses Drake of pedophilia. Drake contends that UMG prioritized profit over his safety and reputation, as the song's release allegedly led to violent incidents, including a shooting at his Toronto residence. He also claims that UMG employed bots and engaged in payola schemes to artificially inflate the track's popularity.UMG has denied these allegations, describing them as "offensive and untrue," and asserting that they would not undermine an artist they have heavily invested in.
