The True Crime Tapes

Jeffrey Epstein was a man who got around New York city and it didn't matter what political party you belonged to. All that mattered to him was that you were willing to play ball. Unfortunately for the rest of us, there were plenty of people who were willing to sell their soul to increase their power or status, even if that meant ignoring what and who Jeffrey Epstein was. Afterall, the only sin in that world is the sin of being poor.

In this episode we dive into the new article from The Wall Street journal about two of the top bundlers for the Trump campaign in 2016 and their connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

How Jeffrey Epstein Tried to Tap Into Trump’s Circle - WSJ

Jeffrey Epstein’s story doesn’t begin with the penthouse, the island, or the mugshot—it begins in the shadows of the Cold War. In the 1980s, he worked as a financial adviser for Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, a man entangled in the Iran–Contra scandal and the massive Al-Yamamah arms deal. Through Khashoggi, British defense contractor Douglas Leese, and financier Steven Hoffenberg, Epstein was introduced to a world where money moved invisibly, arms were traded for oil, and intelligence agencies relied on businessmen as covert intermediaries. These early associations taught him the culture of power: secrets were currency, crimes could be reframed as strategy, and the right connections offered protection from the law.

Epstein didn’t invent this playbook—he adapted it. Where Khashoggi traded weapons and oil, Epstein traded access and leverage, turning young victims into bargaining chips in a network of elites. His empire mirrored the same operating principles he absorbed in the 1980s: plausible deniability, hidden money flows, and the insulation of power. This is why his story is more than personal depravity—it’s proof that the system itself breeds and shields men like him. Epstein wasn’t a glitch in the matrix. He was the proof that it works, and the machinery that built him is still running, still producing new Epsteins, waiting for their turn in the spotlight.

In a lawsuit filed in October 2024, a woman identified as Jane Doe alleges that Sean "Diddy" Combs raped her during a Las Vegas afterparty in 2014. According to the complaint, Doe and her two friends were in Las Vegas over Memorial Day Weekend 2014. Doe claims she connected with Combs' party promoter, known only as "Internamtikonal Smoove," who invited her to an exclusive party at Club Rehab, where she met several celebrities, including Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim, and Nicki Minaj. After the party, Doe attended an afterparty at Combs' suite at the Planet Hollywood hotel. After consuming one or two drinks from a Ciroc vodka bottle, Doe began to feel disoriented. Smoove directed her to an empty bedroom where she could rest, assuring her that the door would be locked. The next thing Doe recalls is waking up the following morning feeling very groggy and sore, with her entire body hurting and difficulty moving. She saw Combs in the corner of the room, shirtless and yelling loudly at someone over the phone. He was the only person in the room with her, and it was clear that someone else had been in the bed with her. Doe returned to her friends and slept for two days, vaguely remembering her friends trying to help with periodic offers of water.


Doe's lawsuit is part of a broader wave of legal actions against Combs, with over 100 individuals alleging sexual abuse. The allegations span decades and include claims of drugging, sexual assault, and rape. Combs has denied all allegations, with his legal team describing them as false and opportunistic. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with Combs currently facing federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

In March 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the U.S. Virgin Islands against the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, represented by executors Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, as well as NES LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company. In her complaint, Maxwell sought reimbursement for legal fees and personal security costs, asserting that Epstein had repeatedly promised to support her financially. She claimed to have been employed by Epstein from 1998 to 2006, managing his various properties across the U.S. and internationally, and contended that the estate was obligated to cover her legal expenses arising from her association with Epstein.

Maxwell's lawsuit emphasized her denial of any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities, portraying herself as an innocent party entangled in subsequent legal battles. She argued that the financial support she sought was essential for her to defend against numerous civil lawsuits and criminal investigations linked to Epstein's alleged misconduct

In this episode, we take a look at the USVI's motion to interene in that lawsuit.

The lawsuits stem from parallel cases in the Southern District of New York: one brought by Jane Doe on behalf of Epstein’s victims and another by the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, both targeting JPMorgan Chase for its alleged role in enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan, in turn, filed third-party claims against former executive James Edward Staley, arguing that he should bear responsibility for any liability tied to Epstein, given his close personal and professional ties to the financier. These cases became highly significant in exposing the financial networks that allegedly allowed Epstein’s crimes to flourish.


In response, Staley filed a motion to exclude JPMorgan Chase’s proffered expert opinions, challenging the credibility and admissibility of the bank’s expert witnesses. His brief sought to limit the evidence that could be used against him, aiming to weaken JPMorgan’s case for shifting liability onto him. This move reflects Staley’s broader defense strategy of resisting being scapegoated as the primary enabler within JPMorgan, while the bank itself faced mounting scrutiny for its role in maintaining Epstein as a client despite numerous red flags.
