What Did Jeffrey Epstein Tell His Lawyers About Nicholas Tartaglione?

Deutsche Bank requested that a U.S. federal court dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by an accuser of Epstein, arguing that the bank neither participated in nor benefited from Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and therefore is not legally responsible in the way the complaint alleges. The bank asserted that it merely provided “routine banking services” to Epstein from 2013 to 2018, and that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts under the federal anti-trafficking statute (Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act) or establish any direct duty by the bank to protect the victim.In addition, Deutsche Bank argued that the plaintiff’s claims under New York’s Adult Survivors Act (which temporarily allowed claims even after statute-of-limitations expiration) were legally deficient because the bank did not cause the abuse or engage in the trafficking itself. The bank contended that even acknowledging Epstein’s misconduct, the claims improperly targeted the “wrong party.” While the court later dismissed several of the claims brought against Deutsche Bank, it allowed several others to proceed, meaning the motion to dismiss was only partly successful.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Despite holding what was described as mountains of evidence against Jeffrey Epstein—including hard drives, photographs, flight manifests, travel logs, and witness statements—the FBI’s response was lethargic and opaque. Investigators reportedly had detailed accounts from victims dating back to the mid-1990s, describing Epstein’s trafficking network and naming powerful men connected to his operations. When Epstein’s properties were raided in 2019, agents found thousands of explicit photos of underage girls, numerous disks labeled with names, and a trove of financial records, yet many of these items were never fully disclosed or used to pursue others in his orbit. Victims have long argued that the FBI’s inaction allowed Epstein to continue exploiting girls for years while his political and financial allies remained untouched.The Bureau and the DOJ maintain they conducted extensive reviews and found no “prosecutable” cases beyond those already charged, denying the existence of a so-called client list or broader conspiracy. But this explanation has done little to quiet outrage. The sheer volume of evidence juxtaposed with the lack of arrests beyond Ghislaine Maxwell has led to widespread suspicion that the FBI deliberately avoided pursuing leads that might implicate politically powerful figures. The case has since become a symbol of institutional betrayal—proof, in the eyes of many Americans, that justice in this country operates on two tiers: one for the elite, and one for everyone else.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Epstein told his attorneys that the July 23 incident — when he was found semi-unconscious in his cell with injuries around his neck — was not a suicide attempt, but rather the result of a cell-mate assault. He asserted that Tartaglione “roughed him up” and had put something around his neck (a rope, a bedsheet or the like) in what Epstein described as a “prank or experiment” that left him shaken and bruised.In his account, Epstein said he “didn’t feel he was in a position to refuse” the act by his cell-mate, indicating either coercion or fear of retaliation. He told his lawyers the injury prompted his placement on suicide watch, but that his claim of being assaulted by Tartaglione was never properly pursued by the jail authorities.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s death inside his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell revealed a staggering breakdown of basic federal detention protocols. Despite being a high-profile inmate previously placed on suicide watch, Epstein was left alone after his cellmate was inexplicably transferred the night before his death, and guards neglected to conduct mandatory 30-minute checks. Surveillance cameras outside his cell malfunctioned, leaving critical moments unrecorded, and the scene itself appeared disordered—mattresses stacked, linens scattered, and personal items misplaced—raising questions about contamination of evidence. Investigators later admitted that the cell had not been properly preserved as a potential crime scene, an extraordinary failure given Epstein’s notoriety and the global attention surrounding his incarceration.Further deepening suspicion were the materials found inside the cell, including bed sheets and cords that should have been restricted for any inmate with a prior suicide incident. Epstein’s neck injuries also became a source of contention: the official medical examiner declared suicide by hanging, but independent pathologists claimed the wounds were more consistent with strangulation. Combined with camera gaps, staff negligence, and the Bureau of Prisons’ evasive explanations, the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s cell at the time of his death have come to symbolize one of the most glaring institutional failures in modern U.S. corrections—fueling widespread belief that the full truth has yet to be told.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:[email protected]:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In her memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Roberts Giuffre describes how Jeffrey Epstein often spoke about preserving his body through cryogenic freezing after death. She recalls him saying his remains would be stored in a cryogenic chamber until science advanced enough to bring him back to life. Giuffre presents this as more than just a bizarre fixation—it reflected Epstein’s obsession with control, power, and his delusional belief that his wealth could make him immortal. She wrote that Epstein seemed convinced he could escape mortality itself, treating the concept as another form of domination over nature and other people.Giuffre further used this story to expose Epstein’s narcissistic worldview, portraying him as a man who genuinely believed himself to be above consequence or morality. She explained that his talk of cryogenic preservation wasn’t idle fantasy—it fit into a broader ideology of transhumanism that he pushed onto his inner circle. Epstein saw himself as a self-made god, someone destined to transcend ordinary human limits through science and money. Giuffre included the anecdote as evidence of how his psychopathy extended beyond his crimes against women, showing the megalomania that drove his entire life.to contact me:[email protected]:Jeffrey Epstein Planned to Cryogenically Freeze Body After Death: Book - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

According to her post-humous memoir, Virginia Giuffre says that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell didn’t just subject her to physical and sexual abuse — they executed what she describes as a calculated psychological war. She recounts that from the moment she was recruited, Maxwell and Epstein worked step-by-step to “break down” her self-worth, isolate her, and cultivate obedience: undermining her comfort with subtle threats, leveraging promises of luxury, and conditioning her into compliance.Giuffre writes that Maxwell in particular played the role of both mentor and tormentor — grooming her under the guise of opportunity, then using humiliation and fear to erode her sense of agency. According to her book, the worst damage wasn’t the physical acts, but the ongoing manipulation that left her unable to trust her own reactions, afraid to revolt, and deeply haunted by the “ghosts” of her abusers.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

U.S. lawmakers have reportedly invited Prince Andrew to testify before Congress as part of their ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network and the decades-long failure of institutions to hold powerful figures accountable. This follows the unsealing of Epstein’s private schedules and flight logs, which confirmed numerous interactions between the disgraced financier and the Duke of York. While British officials have made no indication that they would compel Andrew’s cooperation, several members of Congress have made it clear that his testimony is essential to understanding the scope of Epstein’s network and the political protection that shielded it. Lawmakers have said survivors deserve to hear from every person who was in Epstein’s circle — especially those like Andrew, who were directly accused of participating in the abuse.Prince Andrew remains one of the most notorious figures tied to the Epstein scandal. He was directly accused by Virginia Giuffre of raping her when she was 17 — an accusation he has repeatedly denied but which led to an out-of-court settlement in 2022 widely reported to be worth millions. Despite his public denials, the photographic evidence of him with Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell remains damning.to contact me:[email protected]:Prince Andrew set to be summoned to the US to give evidence on Jeffrey EpsteinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:[email protected]:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The infamous photograph showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre (then Roberts), with Ghislaine Maxwell smiling in the background, became one of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence in the Epstein scandal. Giuffre has maintained that the photo, taken in 2001 at Maxwell’s London townhouse, is proof she met the prince and was trafficked to him as a teenager. Andrew and his lawyers have long disputed its authenticity, suggesting the image may have been doctored or that he has “no recollection” of ever meeting Giuffre. This claim sparked years of forensic analysis, public skepticism, and media pressure, with the photo evolving into a symbol of Andrew’s denials and Giuffre’s accusations—each side using it to bolster their narrative in the court of public opinion.The legal battle between Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre intensified when she filed a civil lawsuit in 2021 under New York’s Child Victims Act, accusing him of sexual assault and emotional distress tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Andrew’s team fought to dismiss the case, arguing that Giuffre’s 2009 settlement with Epstein barred her from suing others connected to the financier. After months of discovery threats and international headlines, the case ended in February 2022 with a confidential out-of-court settlement. Reports suggest Andrew paid millions and issued a statement expressing regret for Epstein’s victims but admitted no wrongdoing. The settlement’s secrecy and the unresolved questions surrounding the photograph have kept the controversy alive, ensuring the scandal continues to shadow both figures and the monarchy itself.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
