The Epstein Chronicles

Jeffrey Epstein was a multi millionaire who had political and business ties to some of the most rich and powerful people in the world. From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all.

Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse.

Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms.

Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing.

From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before.

In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise.

From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questions of the case.

From interviews with people directly involved in the case to daily updates, the Epstein Chronicles will have it all.

Just like our other project, The Jeffrey Epstein Show, you can expect no punches pulled and consistent content. We have covered the Epstein case daily(everyday since October 1st 2019) and will continue to do so until there are convictions. With a library of well over 1k shows, you can expect a ton of content coming your way including on scene reporting from the Maxwell trial and from places like Zorro Ranch.

Thank you for tuning in and I look forward to having you all along for the ride.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Team Speaks Out After Her Arrest (9/12/26) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

After Ghislaine Maxwell’s July 2020 arrest, members of her private security operation pushed back hard against the government’s portrayal of her as a fugitive deliberately hiding from law enforcement. Her security adviser, former British military man Matt Hellyer, later said Maxwell had been “the most hunted lady” in the United States and perhaps the world, explaining that his team constantly moved her because members of the public and the press could recognize her within minutes. Hellyer said the goal was to make her “disappear again” whenever her location became known. In court filings supporting Maxwell’s bail request, her security team also insisted that she had not been trying to flee the country and was not a flight risk, with the head of the company even agreeing to post a $1 million bond on her behalf. Maxwell’s lawyers said the security measures, remote properties and secrecy were meant to protect her from relentless media attention rather than conceal her from federal agents.
The government told a very different story. After Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, Maxwell vanished from public view, bought the secluded 156-acre “Tucked Away” estate in Bradford, New Hampshire, through a corporate structure and alias, and did not disclose her location even though her lawyers remained in contact with prosecutors. The FBI said it had been secretly monitoring her whereabouts for months, but agents did not actually locate and arrest her until July 2, 2020, nearly a year after Epstein’s arrest, not literally “years” later. Investigators eventually used cellphone-location records, GPS data and a Stingray-style device to narrow her position down to the New Hampshire property. When agents arrived, prosecutors said Maxwell moved into another room rather than opening the door, and they found a cellphone wrapped in foil, which they cited as evidence of efforts to avoid detection. So while Maxwell’s security team framed the episode as protection from press harassment, prosecutors portrayed it as a sophisticated effort by a wealthy, internationally connected defendant to remain difficult to find until federal investigators finally pinned down her location.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Pushes For a Gag Order In Her Trial And The Judge Responds (9/12/26) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers pushed for a sweeping gag order almost immediately after her 2020 arrest, asking Judge Alison Nathan to prohibit prosecutors, government agents and lawyers for potential witnesses from making public statements about the criminal case. The defense argued that the enormous publicity surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell threatened her ability to receive a fair trial before an impartial jury and wanted the court to impose restrictions beyond the professional rules that already governed lawyers involved in the case. The request was part of a broader Maxwell strategy to tighten control over the flow of information around the prosecution, particularly as survivor attorneys and prosecutors were speaking publicly and civil litigation was continuing alongside the criminal case.
Judge Nathan rejected the request on July 23, 2020, concluding that Maxwell had not shown that such an extraordinary additional restriction was necessary. Nathan said she expected prosecutors, defense attorneys and lawyers for witnesses to comply strictly with the court’s existing local rules and professional obligations governing prejudicial public statements, and she said those protections were sufficient at that stage to safeguard Maxwell’s right to a fair trial. She denied the motion without prejudice, meaning Maxwell could return if actual violations emerged, while warning that she would not hesitate to intervene if anyone broke the applicable rules. Nathan later rejected another Maxwell attempt to restrict how potential witnesses and their lawyers could use discovery material, calling the proposed limitation essentially unprecedented and again finding that Maxwell had not demonstrated that it was necessary to protect the fairness of the trial.

Mega Edition: Judge Rakoff Makes A Ruling In The Survivors Suit Against USVI (Part 5-7) (9/12/26) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Judge Jed Rakoff approved a $290 million settlement between JPMorgan Chase and Jeffrey Epstein's victims, emphasizing that the case sent a strong message to the financial industry about the responsibilities of banking institutions. The settlement, which did not require JPMorgan to admit liability, resolved claims that the bank ignored red flags to maintain Epstein as a client, benefiting from his illegal activities from 1998 to 2013.
The approval came after a last-minute challenge from 16 state attorneys general who objected to a clause in the settlement that prevented future claims by any "sovereign or government" on behalf of the victims. They argued that this could hinder future cases against sex trafficking perpetrators. However, Rakoff found the settlement terms clear and justified, dismissing the objections.
The settlement also included a provision for the lawyers to receive 30% of the settlement amount in fees, which the judge deemed fair given the significant recovery for the plaintiffs. This settlement follows a similar case where Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle claims related to Epstein without admitting wrongdoing.

Mega Edition: What Was Known About Bryan Kohberger Directly After His Arrest? (9/12/26) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Immediately after Bryan Kohberger’s arrest on December 30, 2022, the public knew remarkably little about the man accused of murdering Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger was 28 years old, originally from Pennsylvania and was pursuing a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University, only about ten miles from Moscow. He had previously earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and criminal justice at DeSales University, where he had studied under forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland. Authorities said he had been arrested at his parents’ home in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Beyond that, police revealed almost nothing about what had led them to him, and the arrest affidavit remained sealed until he was returned to Idaho. The sudden identification of a criminology doctoral student as the suspect therefore created as many questions as it answered.
At that moment, there was no publicly established motive, no known relationship between Kohberger and any of the four victims, and no explanation for why investigators believed he had entered 1122 King Road. Authorities had already spent more than six weeks pursuing thousands of tips and searching for a white Hyundai Elantra seen near the crime scene, but they initially refused to explain whether that vehicle had led them to Kohberger or what forensic evidence connected him to the house. Reports quickly emerged that the FBI had been watching him in Pennsylvania before the arrest, but the crucial details involving the knife sheath DNA, cellphone records, surveillance footage and the Elantra were not disclosed until the probable-cause affidavit became public on January 5, 2023. For those first several days, the public essentially knew Kohberger’s name, age, academic background and charges, while nearly every important question about evidence, motive, targeting and how police had identified him remained unanswered.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Catwalk to Hell: How Jean-Luc Brunel Used MC2 to Feed the Monster (Part 2) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Maritza Vazquez, who worked as a bookkeeper for MC2 Model Management, provided critical testimony placing Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein at the center of a carefully managed system of underage recruitment and abuse. In her deposition, she identified Brunel as a regular passenger on Epstein’s private jet and noted that Epstein often traveled with girls recruited through MC2—some as young as 14. Vazquez testified that flight logs deliberately omitted the names of some female passengers, suggesting efforts to conceal underage trafficking. She recounted Brunel’s active role in sourcing vulnerable girls from abroad and introducing them into Epstein’s orbit, effectively operating as a global trafficking coordinator.
Vazquez further corroborated that Epstein frequently displayed controlling behavior: he referred to Brunel’s recruits as inventory rather than people, casually discussing having “slept with over a thousand of Brunel’s girls,” according to court documents. Her detailed bookkeeping records and firsthand accounts of scheduling, money flow, and logistics provided prosecutors with evidence of a pipeline feeding Epstein’s sex ring. The deposition exposed how MC2 transactions and Brunel’s agency served as the administrative and logistical backbone for Epstein’s exploitation operation.

Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Transcripts (Day 1 Part 15) (9/11/26) Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

Day one of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, largely centered on prosecutors beginning to construct a timeline of Charlie Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University and establishing the authenticity of the surveillance footage and investigative records they intended to use against Robinson. Former UVU police officer Chris Bagley described the moment the gunshot rang out during Kirk’s September 10, 2025 event and the chaos that followed, while Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent David Hull walked the court through the enormous video-review effort undertaken after the shooting. Hull testified that investigators examined hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and ultimately tracked a person they believed was Robinson moving around the UVU campus at several different points that day. Prosecutors introduced surveillance recordings from multiple locations as they attempted to connect the person seen approaching the campus, moving toward the area surrounding the Losee Center, and later leaving the area to Robinson. Three separate videos depicting Kirk being shot were admitted, although Judge Tony Graf determined that their graphic nature warranted restricting their display to the attorneys’ and judge’s monitors rather than broadcasting them throughout the courtroom. Kirk’s widow, Erika, and his parents left the courtroom while the videos were reviewed. Prosecutors also introduced Kirk’s autopsy report through Hull, which listed his cause of death as a gunshot wound to the neck and the manner of death as homicide
The defense spent much of the first day attacking the manner in which the prosecution was getting its evidence into the record rather than attempting to disprove the entire prosecution theory at that stage. Kathryn Nester and Robinson’s attorneys repeatedly raised hearsay, foundation and authentication objections, arguing that investigators were being permitted to introduce reports, statements and records created by other people without those individuals appearing personally to testify. Judge Graf overruled most of those objections, reflecting the substantially lower evidentiary threshold governing a Utah preliminary hearing, whose purpose was only to determine whether probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial rather than whether prosecutors could prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. One significant exception involved an edited compilation of surveillance footage, which Graf declined to admit in that form and required prosecutors to replace with the underlying unedited material. Hull’s testimony also revealed the scope of the prosecution’s surveillance theory: investigators claimed Robinson had appeared on or around the UVU campus multiple times on September 10 and that they were attempting to stitch those appearances together into a continuous identification of the alleged shooter. By the end of day one, prosecutors had established the killing itself, the medical cause of Kirk’s death, the existence and authenticity of substantial video evidence and the beginnings of their effort to identify Robinson as the person captured in that footage. They had not yet presented many of the pieces expected to become more consequential later in the hearing, including the rifle and DNA evidence, Robinson’s alleged communications and admissions, and testimony concerning his roommate Lance Twiggs.

JP Morgan And Their Unredacted Opposition To Jes Staley Dismissing The Lawsuit (Part 4) (9/12/26) Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

JPMorgan Chase’s memorandum of law opposed Jes Staley’s effort to dismiss the bank’s third-party claims against him in the Epstein litigation, arguing that Staley’s own conduct was central to why JPMorgan faced massive legal exposure in the first place. The bank portrayed Staley as far more than an executive who happened to know Jeffrey Epstein, alleging that he was Epstein’s principal internal advocate at JPMorgan, maintained an extraordinarily close personal relationship with him and repeatedly supported keeping Epstein as a client despite mounting internal concerns. JPMorgan argued that Staley had access to information about Epstein that he failed to disclose to the bank, while simultaneously using his senior position to reassure colleagues about the relationship. According to the bank, those circumstances supported claims that Staley breached his fiduciary duties, failed to act in JPMorgan’s interests and concealed information that would have been highly relevant to the bank’s decisions about whether to continue doing business with Epstein.
JPMorgan also rejected Staley’s argument that the bank was simply trying to shift responsibility for its own failures onto him. Instead, it maintained that the settlements, litigation costs and reputational damage arising from the Epstein relationship were precisely the kinds of losses for which Staley could potentially be held responsible if the allegations against him were proven. The bank emphasized that its claims rested on Staley’s individual duties as a senior executive and on allegations that his undisclosed personal relationship with Epstein conflicted with those obligations. In practical terms, JPMorgan was telling the court that if Staley knew more about Epstein than he revealed, advocated internally for Epstein while withholding that knowledge and exposed the bank to enormous liability as a result, he should not be allowed to walk away from the litigation at the pleading stage. The filing therefore represented a remarkable reversal in the Epstein story: JPMorgan, which had spent years defending its own relationship with Epstein, was now arguing that one of its most powerful former executives bore significant personal responsibility for keeping Epstein inside the bank.
