Organized Crime: Bid Rigging And Price Fixing (9/28/24)

In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (24-cr-542), Mr. Combs' defense team has filed a reply memorandum to bolster their request for an evidentiary hearing. They argue that government agents, particularly from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have engaged in misconduct by leaking confidential grand jury materials and investigative information to the media. The defense contends that these leaks have led to prejudicial pre-trial publicity, undermining Mr. Combs' right to a fair trial. They cite specific instances, such as the public dissemination of a 2016 videotape from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, which they allege was leaked by government agents to CNN.The defense requests the court to grant an evidentiary hearing to investigate these alleged leaks and to determine the extent of government misconduct. They also seek discovery of emails, documents, and records related to the leaks, a gag order to prevent further unauthorized disclosures, and suppression of any evidence obtained through these alleged violations. The defense emphasizes that without a hearing, the full scope of the abuse will remain unknown, and they urge the court to exercise its authority to prohibit such tactics that undermine a defendant's right to a fair trial.(comercial at 8:44)to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628424.64.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

One of the most absurd parts about Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide in prison is the first alleged attempt. It is absolutely insane to think that all of the systems put in place to safeguard a high profile prisoner like Jeffrey Epstein all failed at the same time, but that is the narrative that we are expected to accept. Meanwhile, at the time of the alleged first suicide, Jeffrey Epstein was telling his lawayers and people close to him that he was assaulted by Tartaglione. Yet, without any video evidence or any evidence besides the word of Tartaglione, the facility cleared him of the assault. Now, years later, we still are not getting any information about the investigation as the federal government continues to stall.

Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender who became widely known for his alleged involvement in sex trafficking and sexual abuse of underage girls. The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) played a significant role in the Epstein case due to Epstein's extensive connections and activities there.Here are some key points regarding Jeffrey Epstein and the USVI:Residence in the USVI: Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands called Little Saint James, which he frequently visited and where some of his alleged criminal activities occurred. He also owned a larger neighboring island, Great Saint James.Alleged Crimes: Epstein was first investigated and charged in 2008 in Florida for operating a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. He ultimately pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges in a controversial plea deal that allowed him to serve just 13 months in jail and avoid federal charges. The leniency of this deal sparked outrage.Reopened Case in New York: In 2019, new charges were brought against Epstein in New York, alleging sex trafficking and conspiracy. Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and died by apparent suicide in his jail cell a month later while awaiting trial.USVI Lawsuits and Investigation: In January 2020, the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands filed a civil lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. The suit alleged that Epstein had sexually abused and trafficked dozens of young women and girls on his private islands in the USVI for nearly two decades. This lawsuit aimed to seize Epstein's assets in the USVI to compensate victims.Compensation for Victims: The U.S. Virgin Islands established a fund to compensate victims of Epstein's alleged abuse who came forward in the USVI case. This was a separate effort from the compensation fund established in New York for Epstein's victims.Ongoing Investigations: While Epstein died before facing a federal trial, investigations into his alleged sex trafficking network and those who may have aided or abetted him continued. Several individuals associated with Epstein faced legal scrutiny.The case of Jeffrey Epstein and his connections to the U.S. Virgin Islands highlighted issues related to sex trafficking, the justice system, and the treatment of wealthy individuals accused of serious crimes. It also drew attention to the legal efforts to seek justice for Epstein's alleged victims and the complex legal proceedings surrounding his estate.After years of avoiding the spotlight, the USVI and it's politicians find themselves directly under it when it comes to their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and now calls are beginning to grow louder for a special counsel to be appointed in the USVI to get to the bottom of all of it.

When looking at what happened over the decades in regard to Jeffrey Epstein, it's very apparent that many, many people looked the other way while he was abusing and harming women and girls. Unfortunately, some of these people were those who we entrusted with upholding the law. Yet, instead of protecting the most vulnerable in society and society as a whole from Jeffrey Epstein, they protected Jeffrey Epstein from the consequences. to contact me:[email protected]:https://coastalnetwork.com/jeffrey-epstein-and-corruption-in-the-fbi-and-us-court-system/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The fallout from the relationship between Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein continues to be felt by Victoria's secret, even if they are looking to place the blame elsewhere. Since the revelations about the deep ties between the founder of the company and the convicted sex offender Epstein, the company has been on a downward spiral and the only logical place for it to end up, is in the bargain bins. However, according to the new CEO of Victoria's Secret, it has NOTHING to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I have my doubts.(commercial at 8:59)to contact me:[email protected]:https://nypost.com/2022/08/25/victorias-secret-ceo-insists-jeffrey-epstein-hulu-documentary-was-a-non-event/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
