The Wall Street Journal has uncovered that Epstein maintained accounts with more than 20 banks even in the years leading up to his 2019 death—among them, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, and FirstBank Puerto Rico. The documents show Epstein moved at least $60 million into Honeycomb Partners, received $13.5 million from a hedge fund tied to Paul Tudor Jones, and sold $15 million in private company shares to a crypto investor, among other large transactions. Although major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank say they cut ties (JPMorgan in 2013; Deutsche Bank in 2018), the Journal’s reporting suggests their associations with Epstein ran deeper than previously disclosed.Beyond banks, the reporting points to a broader financial network: hedge funds, private equity, venture capital firms, and prominent individuals who moved money to or from Epstein‐controlled entities. Previously unknown payments also emerged: $1 million to Joi Ito, $85,000 to Alan Dershowitz, $250,000 to Terje Rod-Larsen, and reimbursements to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers (about $1,232.25). In response, legislators are now pushing for hearings—ten Democratic senators recently urged JPMorgan executives and others to testify under oath about their knowledge of Epstein and any “ignored warnings.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The Wall Street Firms That Kept Ties With Jeffrey Epstein Until the End
In a recent interview on the podcast Pod Force One, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described Jeffrey Epstein as “the greatest blackmailer ever,” basing this claim largely on his personal observations from when he lived next to Epstein. He says Epstein showed him and his wife the “massage room” inside his townhouse, claiming he got massages “every day” — a detail Lutnick interpreted as suggestive of a blackmail mechanism involving filmed encounters. He further speculated that Epstein may have traded such footage with authorities or influential individuals to secure lenient legal outcomes, pointing to Epstein’s unusually favorable plea deal in 2008 as possible evidence of bargaining with powerful figures.Lutnick also implicated Epstein’s high-profile associates, suggesting they either participated in or turned a blind eye to the alleged blackmail scheme. He asserted that Epstein’s modus operandi involved offering massages that he assumed were videotaped, and that these recordings could have been used as leverage against elites. At the same time, Lutnick acknowledges he has no direct proof of such extortion, framing much of his claim as assumption grounded in his own impressions and suspicions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Howard Lutnick calls ex-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein 'greatest blackmailer ever'
The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they’re society’s conscience while proving they’ll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn’t blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it’s on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In May 2024, April Lampros filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging multiple instances of sexual assault and battery during the 1990s and early 2000s. According to the lawsuit, Lampros, then a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, met Combs in 1994. She claims that in 1995, after being pressured to consume alcohol, Combs took her to a hotel room where he allegedly raped her despite her protests. Following this incident, Lampros asserts that Combs continued to pursue her, leading to a coercive and abusive relationship. She alleges that in a parking garage, he forced her to perform oral sex against her will. Additionally, in 1996, Lampros claims that Combs compelled her and his then-girlfriend, Kim Porter, to ingest ecstasy and engage in sexual acts with each other while he watched and subsequently assaulted her.Lampros further alleges that Combs used threats to manipulate and control her, including warnings that he could ruin her career. She contends that after attempting to distance herself, Combs retaliated by orchestrating her termination from a restaurant job through Porter's intervention. The lawsuit also mentions a later encounter in the early 2000s, where Combs allegedly kissed and touched Lampros without her consent in her apartment. Years later, in 2023, Lampros claims she learned of a videotape of her and Combs engaging in sexual activity, which she alleges was recorded without her knowledge or consent. Combs has not publicly responded to these specific allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Between April 2021 and late 2022, a string of seemingly random shootings shook Stockton, California, and nearby Oakland. Ballistic evidence linked the attacks, most of which targeted men alone at night or in the early morning hours. Victims were often in dimly lit areas, and their belongings were rarely taken, pointing to a motive centered on the act of killing itself rather than robbery. In one case, a homeless woman survived being shot in her tent, later giving authorities key testimony that helped tie the incidents together. The fear generated by the pattern of attacks led many in the community to suspect a serial killer was at work.In October 2022, police arrested 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee, a Stockton resident, after surveillance led officers to stop him while he was driving. He was found dressed in dark clothing, wearing a mask around his neck, and carrying a loaded firearm, which investigators said he was “out hunting” with. Brownlee was later charged with multiple counts of murder—eventually tied to at least seven killings. His competency to stand trial has been raised in court, but the case continues to move forward, leaving questions about motive and whether there may be additional victims still unanswered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Cary Stayner is a convicted American serial killer whose crimes shocked the nation in 1999. He was the older brother of Steven Stayner, whose childhood abduction and dramatic escape years later had already made the family infamous. While Steven was once portrayed as a tragic hero, Cary’s life spiraled into darkness. Working as a handyman near Yosemite National Park, Cary outwardly seemed quiet and unremarkable, but he harbored violent fantasies from a young age. His troubled background, compounded by his brother’s notoriety, set the stage for his eventual eruption into brutal violence that would stain his name and overshadow the legacy of his family.The Yosemite Village murders refer to the killings of four women in and around Yosemite National Park in 1999. Cary Stayner first targeted three tourists—Carole Sund, her daughter Juli, and Juli’s friend Silvina Pelosso—whom he abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered, before later killing Joie Armstrong, a Yosemite park naturalist. These crimes terrorized the community and drew massive media attention, not only because of their brutality but also because they occurred in such a famed natural landmark. Stayner was arrested and confessed, later being sentenced to death. The case became one of the most infamous examples of serial murder in California history, forever linking Yosemite with a dark chapter of violence and betrayal of trust.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/yosemite-horror/

Newly surfaced Bloomberg-obtained emails show that Jeffrey Epstein maintained close contact with several Harvard professors after his 2006 indictment for soliciting prostitution. Faculty like Stephen Kosslyn, Howard Gardner, and Mark Tramo corresponded with him about dinners, research funding, and even offered encouragement after his guilty plea. Kosslyn arranged meetings with Harvard scholars, Gardner sent him book lists and advice, and Tramo wrote messages of solidarity. Emails also revealed discussions about Epstein funding projects like a “pleasure genome initiative” and Harvard’s Personal Genome Project.The revelations underscore how deeply Epstein was embedded in Harvard’s academic network. He had already donated at least $9.1 million to Harvard programs and cultivated personal ties with influential figures, including former deans and prominent professors. The emails show professors turning to him as a financial “patron,” while others like Alan Dershowitz defended his character in messages. Though many now claim ignorance of his crimes, the correspondence paints a damning picture of how Epstein’s money and influence bought him legitimacy inside one of the world’s most prestigious universities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein’s Emails Reveal Close Correspondence With Harvard Professors, Bloomberg Reports | News | The Harvard Crimson
After revelations surfaced of his close ties and supportive messages to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Lord Peter Mandelson was dismissed as the UK’s ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. However, despite being “removed with immediate effect,” reports indicate that the government has not yet formally severed his employment status. As a result, he remains on the payroll and is said to be eligible for compensation, possibly a six-figure package, pending legal or contractual settlement.Separately, the advisory firm Global Counsel, which Mandelson co-founded, has moved to strip him of voting rights and dividends tied to his 21 % stake in the firm, effectively cutting off his financial benefits while it seeks to divest his holdings entirely. While public attention has focused on whether the state will continue paying him, significant steps have already been taken internally to limit his income streams from his private ventures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource: Lord Mandelson is STILL being paid his six-figure salary despite being sacked as Britain's US Ambassador more than two weeks ago | Daily Mail Online
Prosecutors are urging a New York federal judge to sentence Sean “Diddy” Combs to at least 11 years and three months (135 months) in prison following his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act. They contend that Combs has shown no remorse, calling him “unrepentant,” and stress the lasting damage suffered by his victims, including Cassie Ventura, who described ongoing trauma and fears for her safety. Prosecutors are also seeking a $500,000 fine and are pressing the judge to reject Combs’s request for a sentence equal to time served.The sentencing hearing is set for Friday in Manhattan before U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian. While prosecutors are pushing for over a decade in prison, Combs’s defense team has asked for a far lighter sentence — no more than 14 months — pointing to the conditions he’s already endured behind bars and claiming he has made progress toward rehabilitation. Combs has requested to wear civilian clothes in court and plans to personally address the judge, signaling a direct appeal for leniency. The final decision rests with the judge, who has the discretion to follow or depart from either side’s recommendations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prosecutors want Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to get 11 years in prison

Billy Kipkorir Chemirmir was a Kenyan-American murderer and suspected serial killer linked to a string of deaths among elderly women in North Texas. Between 2016 and 2018, he is believed to have posed as a caregiver or maintenance worker to gain access to senior living communities, where he smothered victims—often with pillows—before stealing jewelry and valuables. Though investigators connected him to more than 20 suspicious deaths, he was formally indicted on 22 capital murder counts. Ultimately, he was convicted of two murders in Dallas County and sentenced to life in prison without parole.In September 2023, while serving his sentence in the Coffield Unit in Texas, Chemirmir was killed by his cellmate. His crimes exposed systemic flaws in how elderly deaths were classified, as many of his victims’ deaths were initially written off as natural causes, delaying recognition of his pattern. The case sparked outrage and demands for reforms in oversight of senior housing facilities and postmortem investigations, highlighting the vulnerability of elderly populations to predatory violence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
