Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And The Suspended Civil Suits (11/1/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Epstein's survivors, Jennifer Arreaz, has sued Ghislaine Maxwell in the
- 0:07Speaker 1: Manhattan Supreme Court under the Child Victims Act. This suit
- 0:13Speaker 1: took place on Monday and it calls into question, in
- 0:17Speaker 1: my opinion, what's going on with the compensation fund. Because remember,
- 0:22Speaker 1: if you opted into that compensation fund and you were
- 0:25Speaker 1: going to get a payout from that compensation fund, Then
- 0:28Speaker 1: you had to halt your cases against Ghislaine Maxwell, your
- 0:32Speaker 1: civil suits, etc.
- 0:33Speaker 2: etc.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Well, it certainly looks like Jennifer here is not going
- 0:39Speaker 1: that route. It looks like she's decided to sue Ghislaine Maxwell.
- 0:43Speaker 1: And I would guess that would preclude her from a
- 0:49Speaker 1: payout from the compensation fund.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Now.
- 0:54Speaker 1: We really haven't gotten much information about the compensation fund
- 0:58Speaker 1: since we heard it went live. But if we're seeing
- 1:02Speaker 1: this situation like this and this survivor go after Ghislaine
- 1:08Speaker 1: in another suit, well, I think that you would have
- 1:13Speaker 1: to come to the conclusion that the compensation fund, at
- 1:18Speaker 1: least as far as this survivor goes, is not up
- 1:23Speaker 1: to par. And with that in mind, Jennifer Oreos, the
- 1:29Speaker 1: survivor in question here, has decided to sue Ghislaine Maxwell
- 1:34Speaker 1: in the Manhattan Supreme Court. So obviously we're going to
- 1:38Speaker 1: keep our eye on this and see what goes down
- 1:42Speaker 1: as far as the lawsuit and what this means towards
- 1:47Speaker 1: a compensation claim for her. But again, this is all
- 1:52Speaker 1: very confusing, right? All of this stuff is... crazy because
- 1:57Speaker 1: we don't have all of the information available to us.
- 2:00Speaker 1: So we got to try and put things together. But
- 2:04Speaker 1: I would think and I would certainly go out on
- 2:07Speaker 1: a limb here and take a wild guess that Jennifer
- 2:11Speaker 1: is most certainly not taking anything from the compensation fund
- 2:15Speaker 1: if she's going this next step and suing Ghislaine Maxwell. Now, again,
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm not positive that's the case, right? I mean, there
- 2:24Speaker 1: might be some sort of other angle that we're not
- 2:27Speaker 1: aware of here. But as far as I know, if
- 2:31Speaker 1: you're going after the associates of Jeffrey Epstein or his employees,
- 2:35Speaker 1: that makes it so you are not able to make
- 2:39Speaker 1: a claim against the compensation fund. So I'm very interested
- 2:44Speaker 1: to see where this goes. And we know that previously
- 2:50Speaker 1: when she made her claims that Jennifer Reyes also named
- 2:57Speaker 1: other people in a lawsuit previously. And one of those
- 3:01Speaker 1: people happened to be Leslie Groff. And in that previous,
- 3:07Speaker 1: the previous complaint, it was Leslie Groff was the secretary.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Simberley Espinoza was the executive assistant. And Ghislaine Maxwell was
- 3:20Speaker 1: his accomplice. And that was what the original complaint was.
- 3:26Speaker 1: And now we have this new action by the survivor here,
- 3:35Speaker 1: Jennifer Arias. And it is suing Ghislaine Maxwell in the
- 3:41Speaker 1: Manhattan Supreme Court.
- 3:43Speaker 2: So I would guess that.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Her and her team came to an impasse with the
- 3:47Speaker 1: compensation fund. And they decided that the best route for
- 3:51Speaker 1: them was to pursue... their case in other avenues in
- 3:59Speaker 1: other venues because obviously what was going on down there
- 4:03Speaker 1: as far as the compensation fund it wasn't something that
- 4:07Speaker 1: they thought was acceptable to their client and that's just
- 4:12Speaker 1: speculation on my part because if things were going correctly
- 4:16Speaker 1: down there for for them you would think that they
- 4:21Speaker 1: would hold off on this lawsuit and see the process
- 4:24Speaker 1: through with the compensation fund. But without that occurring, I
- 4:29Speaker 1: guess that we see here.
- 4:31Speaker 2: The next step, right?
- 4:32Speaker 1: We see the next step and how some of these
- 4:36Speaker 1: girls are going to go about this if they feel
- 4:38Speaker 1: like they're not being taken care of correctly by the
- 4:42Speaker 1: compensation fund. And again, I haven't heard anything in the
- 4:46Speaker 1: news from any of the survivors talking about it. Right.
- 4:51Speaker 2: So I'm not too sure which way it's going.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And I'm just speculating here why she would be filing
- 4:56Speaker 1: this suit. But you would have to think that it
- 4:59Speaker 1: has to do with the compensation package being offered by
- 5:03Speaker 1: the executors and those who are running the fund is
- 5:06Speaker 1: not acceptable to her and her team.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So let's jump into.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Our article today and see what the New York Post
- 5:14Speaker 1: has to say. This article is from the New York Post.
- 5:19Speaker 1: The headline is, Ghislaine Maxwell sued by Jeffrey Epstein accuser
- 5:23Speaker 1: over trafficking allegations. This piece was authored by Elizabeth Rosner
- 5:29Speaker 1: and Rebecca Rosenberg. Jeffrey Epstein accuser Jennifer Oreos sued Ghislaine
- 5:38Speaker 1: Maxwell on Monday for helping the dead pedophile recruit her
- 5:42Speaker 1: as a sex slave at the age of 14. So
- 5:46Speaker 1: you see what I'm talking about with the compensation fund, right?
- 5:49Speaker 1: With the language in the compensation fund, it would seem
- 5:52Speaker 1: to me that.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Mrs.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Araz here is going after her own pursuit as far
- 6:02Speaker 1: as compensation goes. And she's not going to partake in
- 6:06Speaker 1: the compensation fund. And that's the way it looks, right?
- 6:12Speaker 1: I mean, unless I'm missing something here, but it certainly
- 6:16Speaker 1: looks to me that she has decided to strike out
- 6:20Speaker 1: on her own and go after Maxwell in this Manhattan
- 6:25Speaker 1: Supreme Court suit. So I'm interested to get some clarification
- 6:31Speaker 1: as the day moves forward and we hear more about
- 6:34Speaker 1: this story. But it certainly looks to me as of
- 6:37Speaker 1: right now that whatever happened with their negotiations with... Endyke
- 6:43Speaker 1: and Kahn and Feldman and the compensation fund either collapsed
- 6:47Speaker 1: or were not acceptable to her. The lawsuit filed in
- 6:53Speaker 1: a Manhattan Supreme Court under the Child Victims Act alleges
- 6:57Speaker 1: that Maxwell used Epstein's wealth and power as a method
- 7:01Speaker 1: to recruit her and other female victims. We've heard that
- 7:05Speaker 1: story several times, right? How Maxwell was used to... bring
- 7:11Speaker 1: comfort to these girls, get them comfortable with the situation,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and then she would deliver them to the jaws of
- 7:18Speaker 1: the beast. And not only that, she would also, in
- 7:21Speaker 1: some instances, participate in the abuse herself. The 32-year-old alleges
- 7:29Speaker 1: that Maxwell provided organizational support to Epstein's sex trafficking ring,
- 7:34Speaker 1: identifying and hiring the recruiters of underage girls for Epstein's
- 7:38Speaker 1: sexual pleasure. So... What we're hearing here is, from Mr. Reyes,
- 7:46Speaker 1: is that Ghislaine Maxwell was in charge of hiring the
- 7:50Speaker 1: recruiters and she was charged with organizing the recruiters, like
- 7:56Speaker 1: we all knew. She was the top of that pyramid there.
- 7:59Speaker 1: She was in charge of making sure they did all
- 8:01Speaker 1: of their duties and that the criminal enterprise was facilitated. And...
- 8:10Speaker 1: Maxwell also scheduled massage appointments for Epstein with the girls.
- 8:16Speaker 1: As a result of Maxwell conspiring with Epstein, Arreaz claims
- 8:21Speaker 1: she suffered from Physical injury, pain, emotional distress, psychological trauma,
- 8:28Speaker 1: mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, loss of dignity,
- 8:35Speaker 1: invasion of her privacy, and a loss of her capacity
- 8:38Speaker 1: to enjoy life. All of that sounds absolutely legit, right?
- 8:43Speaker 1: Physical injury, check.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Pain, check.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Emotional distress, check. Psychological trauma, yep, that occurred. Mental anguish?
- 8:53Speaker 2: You would think. Humiliation? That certainly fits the bill. Embarrassment? Yep,
- 8:57Speaker 2: that as well. Loss of self-esteem?
- 9:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think somebody getting abused by these sick
- 9:02Speaker 1: bastards would lose all kinds of self-esteem, right?
- 9:05Speaker 2: Loss of dignity?
- 9:06Speaker 1: Well, that certainly falls under the category of that probably happened.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine how you would feel? And
- 9:15Speaker 1: to have to live with that day after day? Wondering
- 9:19Speaker 1: why you were chosen to be abused by these sick people?
- 9:22Speaker 1: Thinking there was something wrong with you? Thinking that it
- 9:24Speaker 1: was your fault? And that's what these survivors have lived
- 9:28Speaker 1: with ever since then. And it's absolutely disgusting to see
- 9:34Speaker 1: that the compensation fund obviously is not working towards making
- 9:39Speaker 1: that right. Arreaz had been the first person to sue
- 9:46Speaker 1: Epstein's estate under New York's Child Victims Act in July 2019,
- 9:52Speaker 1: which was eventually.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Tossed out after he died. So she was.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Suing him in the process of suing him when he died,
- 9:59Speaker 1: and then... obviously, according to New York law, you can't
- 10:02Speaker 1: sue somebody who is dead already. So they had to
- 10:06Speaker 1: toss that case out. So, I mean, you go after
- 10:09Speaker 1: the estate, obviously, but the person, not so much. In
- 10:14Speaker 1: August 2019, she sued Epstein's estate, Maxwell, and three unnamed
- 10:21Speaker 1: female household staff members. That lawsuit is still active. And
- 10:26Speaker 1: we just talked about who that was. Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein,
- 10:31Speaker 1: Kimberly Espinoza, Leslie Groff. So there were several people that
- 10:38Speaker 1: she named that were all, you know, people that are
- 10:40Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators or alleged to be Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators.
- 10:46Speaker 1: And that suit that they were named in is still active.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So this is another suit on top of the one
- 10:53Speaker 1: that she already has going on. And I think that, again,
- 10:58Speaker 1: what we can take from this article is it shows
- 11:02Speaker 1: us that there's not much movement here with the compensation fund.
- 11:06Speaker 1: At least not in this case. Because if there was,
- 11:11Speaker 1: you would think that these suits would be halted and
- 11:14Speaker 1: they would get the money, the reparations that they deserve
- 11:19Speaker 1: from Epstein's estate. But instead, it looks like that they're
- 11:24Speaker 1: going after Maxwell and they're going after her in this
- 11:29Speaker 1: manner because they couldn't come to a resolution elsewhere. I
- 11:36Speaker 1: am once again able to take another breath as Ghislaine
- 11:38Speaker 1: Maxwell will be in jail until at least her trial
- 11:41Speaker 1: date next July. Oreos said after she was denied bail,
- 11:49Speaker 1: knowing that she is incarcerated for the foreseeable future allows
- 11:52Speaker 1: me and my fellow survivors to have faith that we
- 11:56Speaker 1: are on the right path. Lawyers for Oreos did not
- 12:00Speaker 1: immediately return a request for comment. So again, we're still
- 12:05Speaker 1: seeing these lawsuits pop up even with the survivor compensation
- 12:11Speaker 1: fund in play. And it just makes me wonder what
- 12:14Speaker 1: is really going on with that survivor's compensation fund. I
- 12:19Speaker 1: know personally, I have zero faith in Darren Indyke and
- 12:23Speaker 1: Khan being executors of that fund.
- 12:26Speaker 2: And I don't care.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Who the administrators are, what other projects they worked on,
- 12:30Speaker 1: the 9-11 compensation fund, whatever it may be.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I don't care about any of that.
- 12:35Speaker 1: What I care about is that this fund is administered properly.
- 12:41Speaker 2: There are thousands of.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Dollars being spent to house Epstein's old planes.
- 12:47Speaker 2: And what is that?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Why?
- 12:49Speaker 2: Sell them ASAP. Get rid of them.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Put them on one of Jeffrey Epstein's huge properties. Why
- 12:54Speaker 1: do they have to be.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Put in storage somewhere?
- 12:59Speaker 1: And meanwhile, as these idiots in the executors of the
- 13:03Speaker 1: estate continue to play their games, money continues to be
- 13:07Speaker 1: siphoned off of the estate that could be going to
- 13:10Speaker 1: these survivors.
- 13:13Speaker 2: So I'd really like to see.
- 13:15Speaker 1: What's going on with that compensation fund. I'd like to
- 13:18Speaker 1: get an update. I'd like to see somebody come out
- 13:21Speaker 1: and talk about what's going on, where we're at with it.
- 13:25Speaker 1: But again, we're at the, you know, we got to
- 13:28Speaker 1: wait for the courts to do that. We got to
- 13:29Speaker 1: wait for the courts to say it's okay or whatever
- 13:32Speaker 1: the process may be. But this doesn't give me very
- 13:35Speaker 1: much faith that things are moving in a correct direction.
- 13:39Speaker 2: With Ms.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Reyes filing this suit on Monday, yesterday in New York,
- 13:45Speaker 1: you would think that it is not a good look,
- 13:48Speaker 1: at least from her point of view. And her and
- 13:51Speaker 1: her team have decided to move in a different direction.
- 13:55Speaker 1: And I wonder how many of the survivors and their
- 13:59Speaker 1: lawyers are looking at the offers from the compensation fund
- 14:03Speaker 1: and are not finding those offers acceptable. So it's going
- 14:08Speaker 1: to be pretty interesting to see what goes on here
- 14:11Speaker 1: in the next few weeks as far as the compensation
- 14:14Speaker 1: fund goes and to see what goes on with Jennifer
- 14:18Speaker 1: Arreos' suit here. Because if it keeps moving through the
- 14:22Speaker 1: courts and we see it doesn't get paused or halted
- 14:26Speaker 1: or anything like that, then that indicates to me at
- 14:29Speaker 1: least that the compensation fund is not off to a
- 14:33Speaker 1: very good start. So we will definitely keep our eye
- 14:37Speaker 1: on that. All the other things that are going on, obviously,
- 14:41Speaker 1: we're watching that closely as well. So as these things break,
- 14:45Speaker 1: we will continue to cover them. these lawsuits that we
- 14:50Speaker 1: see against Jeffrey Epstein, if the compensation fund, if that
- 14:53Speaker 1: happens to break down, we will see an enormous amount
- 14:57Speaker 1: of suits like this and from many, many, many survivors.
- 15:03Speaker 1: So I think it definitely behooves the estate to do
- 15:05Speaker 1: the right thing. But when you're dealing with Indyke and Khan,
- 15:11Speaker 1: you probably should never expect the right thing to be done.

- 15:26Speaker 1: also find me on Twitter at B-O-B-B-Y underscore C-A-P-U-C-C-I. We've
- 15:32Speaker 1: been talking about the lawsuit by Jane Doe who attended
- 15:38Speaker 1: Interlochen School in Michigan and how her attorney, Robert Glassman,
- 15:44Speaker 1: was not willing to be part of the compensation fund and,
- 15:48Speaker 1: in fact, was looking to push their cause via a
- 15:52Speaker 1: civil trial. Well, now we're hearing that the feds are
- 15:57Speaker 1: looking to have that civil lawsuit against Maxwell postponed because
- 16:03Speaker 1: they say that the information from that civil suit overlaps
- 16:08Speaker 1: the criminal one. So I can understand why they would
- 16:12Speaker 1: want to halt that civil case for now, put the
- 16:15Speaker 1: brakes on it, and focus on the criminal case, right?
- 16:19Speaker 1: I think that the criminal case takes precedent in this matter.
- 16:23Speaker 1: So that's why the feds are looking to get this
- 16:26Speaker 1: postponed here for a minute. So let's jump into this
- 16:30Speaker 1: article from ABC News and see exactly what the feds
- 16:35Speaker 1: have going on. This article says, was authored by James Hill. Headline,
- 16:42Speaker 1: Feds seek halt to civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell. Federal
- 16:48Speaker 1: prosecutors pursuing the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell in New
- 16:51Speaker 1: York are asking a judge to temporarily halt proceedings in
- 16:56Speaker 1: a civil lawsuit filed by an alleged child sex abuse
- 16:59Speaker 1: victim against Maxwell and the estate of the late sex offender,
- 17:03Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that there is significant risk that proceedings
- 17:08Speaker 1: with the case would adversely affect the ongoing criminal prosecution
- 17:13Speaker 1: against Maxwell.
- 17:15Speaker 2: And remember, these are.
- 17:16Speaker 1: The prosecutors who are asking the judge to halt this now.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I would think that they have recognized some significant overlap and.
- 17:29Speaker 2: They believe that it will work To adversely... Affect.
- 17:36Speaker 1: The criminal portion of this case... So therefore... They're asking
- 17:41Speaker 1: that this... Civil suit... Be postponed... Not cancelled... But postponed...
- 17:49Speaker 1: And I wonder... just exactly what is in that civil
- 17:54Speaker 1: case that is going to overlap. I mean, obviously, we're
- 17:58Speaker 1: going to find out, I'm sure, as the trial gets
- 18:01Speaker 1: closer and we get to discovery and we get to
- 18:04Speaker 1: see some of the evidence prosecution has, et cetera, et cetera.
- 18:10Speaker 1: But I'm pretty curious to see what is in that
- 18:15Speaker 1: suit as well. In a letter posted to the court
- 18:20Speaker 1: docket of the civil case this week, prosecutors from the
- 18:23Speaker 1: Southern District of New York asserted that there is a
- 18:26Speaker 1: factual overlap between the civil and criminal cases that could
- 18:30Speaker 1: result in premature disclosure of evidence and testimony from witnesses
- 18:35Speaker 1: who may be called upon in both cases. So basically,
- 18:39Speaker 1: this is confirming what we.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Talked about, right?
- 18:42Speaker 1: That the charges against Maxwell are based on what this...
- 18:49Speaker 1: survivor has told the prosecution so it's looking like from
- 18:53Speaker 1: where i'm sitting that everything lines up that this jane
- 18:57Speaker 1: doe that is represented by glassman is also the the
- 19:03Speaker 1: where the complaint stemmed that maxwell was involved in abuse
- 19:07Speaker 1: from 94 to 97 and that in turn is what
- 19:12Speaker 1: they ended up arresting her on so what they don't
- 19:15Speaker 1: want the the civil portion of that case and the
- 19:19Speaker 1: disclosure in the civil portion of that case to adversely
- 19:23Speaker 1: affect the chances of them putting Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Such witnesses may be forced to testify about any efforts
- 19:35Speaker 1: to assist the criminal investigation and prosecution, and may thereby
- 19:40Speaker 1: expose facts about the investigation, and could potentially expose witnesses
- 19:44Speaker 1: and or their families to harassment, the government's letter states.
- 19:50Speaker 1: And I think that's a good point. I think it's
- 19:52Speaker 1: definitely a good point that the criminal portion of this
- 19:55Speaker 1: case should take precedent. It's very important that none of
- 20:00Speaker 1: the evidence or witness statements are provided to the defense
- 20:08Speaker 1: before the criminal portion of this case. We don't want
- 20:11Speaker 1: them having themselves some time to find a way to
- 20:14Speaker 1: defend those charges, right? We want to make sure that
- 20:17Speaker 1: they don't have any sort of benefit of time. We
- 20:20Speaker 1: don't want them to have a leg up. So I
- 20:24Speaker 1: think it's important that the criminal case is what's focused on. Moreover,
- 20:34Speaker 1: permitting any discovery to proceed in this lawsuit would enable
- 20:37Speaker 1: Maxwell to seek a preview of trial testimony in the
- 20:40Speaker 1: criminal case and would afford her with a broader array
- 20:44Speaker 1: of discovery than she is entitled to in the criminal case.
- 20:47Speaker 1: And there it is right there. That's what the prosecution
- 20:50Speaker 1: is trying to avoid. It sounds sinister at first when
- 20:53Speaker 1: you read the headline, right? You read the headline of this,
- 20:56Speaker 1: you're like, what the hell is the federal government doing
- 20:58Speaker 1: trying to stop a civil case? But When you get
- 21:02Speaker 1: into the context of it and you start to read
- 21:07Speaker 1: and research what's really going on, you understand that it
- 21:12Speaker 1: is essential for the evidence in the criminal case to
- 21:17Speaker 1: be safeguarded. Absolutely essential. The civil lawsuit filed in January
- 21:25Speaker 1: under the pseudonym Jane Doe contains allegations that are substantially
- 21:29Speaker 1: similar to those contained in the criminal indictment against Maxwell,
- 21:33Speaker 1: who allegedly groomed three minor girls to be abused by
- 21:36Speaker 1: Epstein between 1994 and 1997 and, in some instances, participated
- 21:43Speaker 1: in the abuse herself, according to prosecutors. Maxwell has pleaded
- 21:48Speaker 1: not guilty to the charges and has denied the allegations
- 21:51Speaker 1: in the civil suit.
- 21:52Speaker 2: So right there, the.
- 21:54Speaker 1: ABC News is talking about the same thing I just mentioned.
- 21:58Speaker 1: It is quite apparent that these allegations are the same
- 22:02Speaker 1: one that are in the civil suit and that Jane Doe,
- 22:06Speaker 1: who is being represented by Attorney Glassman, is the person
- 22:13Speaker 1: who we're talking about here. Now, who that person's real,
- 22:16Speaker 1: what her real identity is, I don't know or care
- 22:19Speaker 1: until she's ready to release her identity. then we'll just
- 22:22Speaker 1: continue to call her Jane Doe, right? And as much
- 22:27Speaker 1: as I want all of these gals to be able
- 22:31Speaker 1: to pursue things in a civil manner as well, if
- 22:33Speaker 1: that's going to impede the criminal portion of this case,
- 22:37Speaker 1: I think that it's important that it's halted, right? Temporarily
- 22:42Speaker 1: halted until we can figure out criminally what's going on here.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Because these people need to go to prison. In its
- 22:54Speaker 1: letter to the court, the government declined to address speculation
- 22:57Speaker 1: Maxwell's attorneys have raised in court filings that Doe is
- 23:00Speaker 1: one of the alleged survivors identified in the criminal case.
- 23:04Speaker 1: But prosecutors offered to make additional information available to the
- 23:09Speaker 1: civil case judge privately if necessary. Doe's attorneys have declined
- 23:14Speaker 1: to comment on the apparent parallels to the criminal case.
- 23:17Speaker 1: And again, look, I'm not going to get too deep
- 23:19Speaker 1: into that. I'm not going to dig into that.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Right?
- 23:23Speaker 1: It's, it's, it's rather apparent what's going on here. It's
- 23:25Speaker 1: rather apparent that the, um, the parallels to the criminal
- 23:30Speaker 1: case and the civil case here are abundant. And it
- 23:34Speaker 1: is rather apparent to anyone paying attention that these cases
- 23:39Speaker 1: will have some overlap. And I thought that we'd see
- 23:43Speaker 1: this coming down the pipe, that there would be a
- 23:45Speaker 1: bit of a, um, a bit of a problem with
- 23:49Speaker 1: the two cases running concurrently, considering they're focused on the
- 23:52Speaker 1: same thing.
- 23:54Speaker 2: And I didn't know.
- 23:56Speaker 1: That the prosecution obviously would ask to halt one of
- 24:01Speaker 1: these cases, but I thought that we'd see something like
- 24:04Speaker 1: this at some point. By advocating for a stay in
- 24:08Speaker 1: the civil case, the government finds itself, in this instance,
- 24:12Speaker 1: aligned with Maxwell and the co-executors of Epstein's estate. who
- 24:15Speaker 1: have been arguing for months that the case should be
- 24:18Speaker 1: placed on hold while criminal investigations of Epstein's alleged co-conspirators
- 24:23Speaker 1: remain open. Absent a stay, Ms. Maxwell will be forced
- 24:27Speaker 1: to choose between her constitutional right to remain silent and
- 24:31Speaker 1: her active and vigorous participation in defending against and refuting
- 24:35Speaker 1: Dole's false claims in this case, wrote Maxwell's lawyer Laura
- 24:39Speaker 1: Menninger in a letter to the court last week. And again,
- 24:43Speaker 1: without knowing everything that's in both of these cases, I
- 24:47Speaker 1: think we have to take a step back and wait
- 24:51Speaker 1: for more information to come out, right? Now, again, from
- 24:55Speaker 1: what we know, I don't want the civil portion of
- 24:58Speaker 1: Jane Doe's case here giving Ghislaine Maxwell the upper hand
- 25:04Speaker 1: in the criminal case by giving her discovery early or
- 25:07Speaker 1: materials that her and her lawyers should not have.
- 25:11Speaker 2: So.
- 25:12Speaker 1: We're going to have to see how this breaks and
- 25:14Speaker 1: get a little bit more information here. But from what
- 25:18Speaker 1: I see now, it most certainly looks like they don't
- 25:21Speaker 1: want to put that criminal case in any jeopardy whatsoever.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Those lawyers have consistently opposed those efforts, arguing in court
- 25:32Speaker 1: filings that a stay would simply delay over long due justice.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Doe is seeking to hold defendant Maxwell accountable for the
- 25:41Speaker 1: heinous and sick sexual acts she committed against her over
- 25:45Speaker 1: the course of several years while she was just a child,
- 25:48Speaker 1: wrote her lawyer, Robert Glassman of Panish, Shea and Boyle, LLP,
- 25:52Speaker 1: in a letter to the court. She is best served
- 25:55Speaker 1: by pressing forward with her claims, not waiting even longer
- 25:58Speaker 1: for justice. Well, I don't, you know, again, I'm not
- 26:02Speaker 1: really privy to any of the information that Mr. Glassman
- 26:05Speaker 1: has or what, him and his client have discussed, but
- 26:10Speaker 1: I would think that if the goal is the pursuit
- 26:13Speaker 1: of justice, then the criminal case is the most important one.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Of more than 30 women who brought legal claims against
- 26:23Speaker 1: Epstein's estate following his death last year, Doe is the
- 26:26Speaker 1: only accuser who has thus far declined to put her
- 26:28Speaker 1: lawsuit on hold, to pursue an alternative resolution via the
- 26:33Speaker 1: Epstein Victims Compensation Fund, a voluntary non-adversarial program established by
- 26:39Speaker 1: the estate that began evaluating claims in June. And again,
- 26:43Speaker 1: I've been very clear. I believe that Doe has every
- 26:47Speaker 1: right in the world to pursue her claims in a
- 26:50Speaker 1: manner that she chooses. If she wants to pursue this civilly,
- 26:54Speaker 1: I am 100% for it. But with that said, I
- 26:58Speaker 1: don't think her civil case supersedes the criminal case as
- 27:03Speaker 1: a whole. I think that she should be able to
- 27:06Speaker 1: go after Maxwell criminally, but if the court decides to
- 27:10Speaker 1: halt her civil case, then I don't think that she
- 27:14Speaker 1: really has an argument that her civil case should be
- 27:19Speaker 1: moved forward before the criminal portion. Doe alleges in her
- 27:25Speaker 1: complaint that she was first approached at age 13 by
- 27:28Speaker 1: Epstein and Maxwell in 1994 at a summer camp at
- 27:32Speaker 1: the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, and that
- 27:35Speaker 1: a months-long grooming process by Epstein and Maxwell continued after
- 27:40Speaker 1: she returned home to Florida. And we went into detail
- 27:45Speaker 1: about this whole entire allegation, what Doe claims occurred, and
- 27:49Speaker 1: what supposedly happened to Doe by... Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Doe,
- 27:58Speaker 1: now 40, alleges that the sexual abuse by Epstein escalated
- 28:02Speaker 1: over the next few years as Epstein and Maxwell asserted
- 28:05Speaker 1: control over her life. She claims she was sexually abused
- 28:09Speaker 1: at Epstein's homes in Florida, New York, and his ranch
- 28:13Speaker 1: in New Mexico, and that she would often travel to
- 28:15Speaker 1: those locations with Epstein and Maxwell on one of Epstein's
- 28:19Speaker 1: private jets. Now, that's the same story we've heard from
- 28:23Speaker 1: all the other girls, basically, right? The ones that were
- 28:25Speaker 1: chosen to be abused by Maxwell and Epstein. It's the
- 28:29Speaker 1: same story. The grooming process, the normalization process, and then
- 28:34Speaker 1: the abuse starts. Epstein's system of abuse was facilitated in
- 28:42Speaker 1: large part by his co-conspirator and accomplice, Maxwell... who helped
- 28:47Speaker 1: supply him with a steady stream of young and vulnerable girls,
- 28:50Speaker 1: the complaint said. During Doe's time in New York, Maxwell
- 28:55Speaker 1: also regularly facilitated Epstein's abuse of Doe and was frequently
- 29:00Speaker 1: present when it occurred. And you wonder why I call
- 29:03Speaker 1: her general all-around scumbag, fellow child abuser, and a bipedal serpent.
- 29:11Speaker 2: That is why.
- 29:12Speaker 1: She was not just a procurer or a groomer or
- 29:15Speaker 1: anything of the sort.
- 29:18Speaker 2: She took part.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Maxwell formally requested a stay in Doe's case last month,
- 29:26Speaker 1: arguing that Doe had failed to articulate a cogent reason
- 29:30Speaker 1: for wanting to press ahead with her lawsuit while the
- 29:32Speaker 1: criminal case is ongoing and while Doe can choose to
- 29:35Speaker 1: present her claims to the estate's compensation fund. And again,
- 29:39Speaker 1: I think that Doe should be able to pursue this
- 29:42Speaker 1: in whatever means she wants to and whatever means are
- 29:46Speaker 1: available under the law, but I don't think her claim
- 29:50Speaker 1: supersedes the criminal one. If it's money she seeks, she
- 29:57Speaker 1: can pursue it in the claims program manager wrote in
- 29:59Speaker 1: a letter to the court last week. If it's justice
- 30:02Speaker 1: she seeks, the criminal case will resolve those issues one
- 30:05Speaker 1: way or the other. Those lawyers have countered that a
- 30:08Speaker 1: stay of the case would deprive her and the public
- 30:11Speaker 1: with an opportunity to learn long-hidden information about Epstein's alleged
- 30:16Speaker 1: criminal sex trafficking operation and Maxwell's alleged role in it. Well...
- 30:21Speaker 1: I would say that that would be the case if
- 30:23Speaker 1: we didn't have the criminal case running concurrently. But I
- 30:26Speaker 1: think that in discovery of the criminal case, everything that
- 30:29Speaker 1: we'll learn or would learn in this civil case, we're
- 30:32Speaker 1: going to learn in the criminal case. And you can
- 30:35Speaker 1: times it by 10 because a lot is.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Going to come out.
- 30:40Speaker 1: And obviously, they know that overlap would happen. So the
- 30:43Speaker 1: stuff that's in that civil case is going to be
- 30:46Speaker 1: in this criminal case as well, at least a good
- 30:48Speaker 1: portion of it, in my opinion. The continuation of this
- 30:56Speaker 1: last remaining civil avenue can furnish the public with critical
- 30:59Speaker 1: information as to defendant Maxwell's well-known criminal enterprise, how it
- 31:04Speaker 1: was operated, and all those involved. A stay of the
- 31:08Speaker 1: civil proceedings would provide what defendant Maxwell has sought for years,
- 31:13Speaker 1: concealing her heinous acts from public view, Glassman wrote to
- 31:16Speaker 1: the court last month. And again, if it wasn't for
- 31:21Speaker 1: the criminal case, I would 100% agree with Glassman here.
- 31:25Speaker 1: But if this is going to, in any way, jeopardize
- 31:31Speaker 1: Maxwell going to prison, then I have to side with
- 31:35Speaker 1: the criminal portion of this, with the portion of the
- 31:39Speaker 1: case that's going to actually mete out consequences. The government's
- 31:45Speaker 1: letter indicates that prosecutors... Recognizing Doe's interest in pursuing her
- 31:50Speaker 1: case had considered alternatives to its position before asking the
- 31:55Speaker 1: court to put the case on hold pending Maxwell's trial.
- 31:59Speaker 1: So that means Allison Moe and the rest of the
- 32:03Speaker 1: prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, they took a look at all
- 32:07Speaker 1: of this and I'm sure that Allison Moe did her
- 32:10Speaker 1: due diligence, right? Of all of these prosecutors we have
- 32:13Speaker 1: dealt with, Allison Moe seems to be the most trustworthy.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And if she is taking a look at this and
- 32:21Speaker 1: she sees the overlap here and she thinks that it's
- 32:24Speaker 1: going to hurt the criminal case, then I totally understand
- 32:29Speaker 1: why she would be asking to put this on hold.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Nobody's saying that Doe can't pursue these claims. What they're
- 32:37Speaker 1: saying is they want the criminal case to happen first.
- 32:42Speaker 1: After carefully considering the issues in this case... And the
- 32:46Speaker 1: pending criminal case, the government respectfully submits that nothing short
- 32:50Speaker 1: of a full stay of this matter would address the
- 32:53Speaker 1: government's concerns and preserve the public's substantial interest in avoiding
- 32:57Speaker 1: interference with prosecution of the criminal case, prosecutors wrote. The
- 33:03Speaker 1: judge overseeing Doe's case has yet to issue a decision.
- 33:08Speaker 1: So again, it's all about the criminal case, right? as
- 33:12Speaker 1: far as we know here, as far as we can see,
- 33:16Speaker 1: this is all about preserving the criminal portion of this case.
- 33:21Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, that is really what matters
- 33:25Speaker 1: when it comes down to it right now. What matters
- 33:28Speaker 1: is the prosecution of the people who were involved in
- 33:32Speaker 1: the criminal enterprise. And that all starts with making sure
- 33:36Speaker 1: that Ghislaine Maxwell has no loopholes or technicalities such as
- 33:42Speaker 1: overlap from two concurrent trials to give her the wiggle
- 33:48Speaker 1: room she needs to get off of the hook. This
- 33:51Speaker 1: has to be ironclad. All of the T's must be crossed.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Everything must be locked in. And it must be completely
- 34:03Speaker 1: and utterly unassailable by the defense. That is why I
- 34:07Speaker 1: think you see the prosecution coming out here and asking
- 34:11Speaker 1: for the hold, the stay. And that is why I
- 34:14Speaker 1: think you will see the hold and this stay of
- 34:19Speaker 1: the civil portion of the case be granted by the judge.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I think that everybody is on the same page here
- 34:26Speaker 1: when it comes to the prosecution of Maxwell and the co-conspirators.
- 34:30Speaker 1: And I think that that needs to be the number
- 34:35Speaker 1: one goal in this whole entire making sure that these
- 34:41Speaker 1: people who were involved in all of this abuse, in
- 34:44Speaker 1: the running of this criminal enterprise, in the facilitation of
- 34:49Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, are held accountable. If you'd like to

- 35:17Speaker 1: And we have a new situation with two of Ghislaine
- 35:23Speaker 1: Maxwell's accusers. Now, we know that Jennifer Arreaz was somebody
- 35:30Speaker 1: who says that she was assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and
- 35:34Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell. And she was not involved in that compensation fund,
- 35:39Speaker 1: at least last we heard. According to her and her lawyer,
- 35:41Speaker 1: they were going all the way to the mattresses, and
- 35:44Speaker 1: they were going to see this out to the very end. Well,
- 35:47Speaker 1: it looks like Jennifer Oreos and one of the unnamed
- 35:53Speaker 1: accusers have dropped their lawsuits against Ghislaine Maxwell. And that
- 35:59Speaker 1: looks like, and it seems like, They would do that
- 36:02Speaker 1: because they are a part of that compensation fund now.
- 36:06Speaker 2: That would be my guess.
- 36:09Speaker 1: And that would be the guess of most people who
- 36:12Speaker 1: are following the story, right?
- 36:14Speaker 2: There's no reason for them to just drop their cases.
- 36:17Speaker 1: So maybe we'll hear about some movement from the compensation
- 36:21Speaker 1: fund in the next few days.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Not too sure one way or the other. Hopefully we do.
- 36:27Speaker 1: We know that they're getting a nice injection of cash
- 36:29Speaker 1: considering the Palm Beach mansion. has been sold and it's
- 36:33Speaker 1: looking like about 18 million will be coming their way
- 36:37Speaker 1: for the Palm Beach mansion alone. Now you add in
- 36:40Speaker 1: the New York townhouse, if they're going to be able
- 36:42Speaker 1: to flip that anytime soon, figure it's sitting on the
- 36:45Speaker 1: market at 77 million. If I was making an offer,
- 36:48Speaker 1: I'd come in at about 73.5 and see if they bit.
- 36:53Speaker 2: But again, who the hell knows?
- 36:54Speaker 1: I think it's a different situation. then in Palm Beach,
- 36:58Speaker 1: you're not just going to go into that place and
- 37:00Speaker 1: tear it down and rebuild it. I mean, that's not practical.
- 37:05Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. So I really don't know
- 37:08Speaker 1: who they're going to get to purchase that place. There's
- 37:11Speaker 1: a lot of bad memories there, a lot of bad
- 37:14Speaker 1: juju around it, and who the hell wants to live
- 37:16Speaker 1: in that townhouse and have a bunch of people outside
- 37:18Speaker 1: gawking at it all the time?
- 37:20Speaker 2: I think I'd pass on that.
- 37:22Speaker 1: So I'm thinking there's going to be a little bit
- 37:24Speaker 1: of difficulty flipping the house in New York. The island, obviously,
- 37:28Speaker 1: I think that should be an easy sell. I don't
- 37:30Speaker 1: know why that hasn't been sold yet. If I had
- 37:33Speaker 1: the sort of money that these bipedal serpents have, I
- 37:36Speaker 1: would have purchased that island already. And then I would
- 37:40Speaker 1: have turned it into a retreat. for survivors of abuse
- 37:45Speaker 1: and disease and whatever. Survivors in general would have been
- 37:49Speaker 1: welcomed on my island if I was a billionaire and
- 37:51Speaker 1: I was able to purchase Little St. James. And that
- 37:55Speaker 1: island would be opened for free to anybody who has
- 37:59Speaker 1: suffered trauma, PTSD, whatever. And I would make sure that
- 38:03Speaker 1: I had it staffed accordingly with the right people to
- 38:06Speaker 1: try and help people through this. I mean, is that,
- 38:09Speaker 1: where are all of these billionaires that act like they care,
- 38:12Speaker 1: that pump all this money into elections and get up
- 38:15Speaker 1: there and bullshit you and act like they really give
- 38:17Speaker 1: a shit about you, but they don't. Do you really
- 38:21Speaker 1: think that if you couldn't pay your rent and you
- 38:23Speaker 1: went to insert celebrity here, they'd give a shit about you?
- 38:27Speaker 2: They would not.
- 38:29Speaker 1: That's why I don't understand the whole entire hero worship
- 38:33Speaker 1: type of situation. It's just, it's always been foreign to me.
- 38:36Speaker 1: It will always be foreign to me. And I will never, ever,
- 38:39Speaker 1: ever understand it.
- 38:41Speaker 2: All right.
- 38:42Speaker 1: So let's jump into our article. This article is from
- 38:46Speaker 1: the Daily Mail and the headline. Two Jeffrey Epstein accusers
- 38:50Speaker 1: dropped their case against his estate and Ghislaine Maxwell, indicating
- 38:54Speaker 1: they have been awarded money under Victim's Compensation Fund. The
- 38:59Speaker 1: author of this article is Matthew Wright. And if that
- 39:02Speaker 1: is the case, and it does look like that, right? Again,
- 39:06Speaker 1: there's no good reason for these two gals to drop
- 39:10Speaker 1: their cases in the middle of the case, unless, of course,
- 39:14Speaker 1: there's something going on on the back burner.
- 39:16Speaker 2: And that is very possible.
- 39:18Speaker 1: I would say it's probably likely, to be honest with you,
- 39:22Speaker 1: because I really just don't see these gals dropping their cases.
- 39:26Speaker 1: It just does not ring as something that is... Two
- 39:20Speaker 1: women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein... have both independently
- 39:24Speaker 1: dropped their cases... against the pedophile's estate and Ghislaine Maxwell...
- 39:27Speaker 1: according to new court documents. Jennifer Oreos sued Maxwell... said
- 39:47Speaker 1: to be Epstein's madam, co-conspirator, general all around scuzzbag and
- 39:50Speaker 1: bipedal serpent, in September for allegedly assisting in her recruitment
- 39:55Speaker 1: as a sex slave when she was 14. Now, remember,
- 39:59Speaker 1: Oreos was and her lawyer were very adamant that they
- 40:02Speaker 1: were going to see this through to the very end.
- 40:05Speaker 1: So something must have come up. They must have gotten
- 40:08Speaker 1: or received a very, very, very favorable determination from this
- 40:13Speaker 1: compensation fund. and decided it was in their best interest
- 40:17Speaker 1: and in the best interest of Jennifer herself to take
- 40:20Speaker 1: the offered money. Now, again, I don't have inside information
- 40:24Speaker 1: on that, right?
- 40:25Speaker 2: I don't have a line. I don't know Jennifer or
- 40:27Speaker 2: her lawyer.
- 40:28Speaker 1: But this is what the logical thought pattern leads you
- 40:33Speaker 1: to the fact that they're probably starting to pay out
- 40:36Speaker 1: some money from this compensation fund. Now, I don't know
- 40:40Speaker 1: if that's ever going to be announced. I doubt it
- 40:43Speaker 1: will be as far as details, right? I'm sure it's
- 40:46Speaker 1: going to be a pretty private matter. And then at
- 40:48Speaker 1: some point they will come out and say that they've
- 40:51Speaker 1: dispersed X amount of money or something like that.
- 40:54Speaker 2: That would be my guess.
- 40:55Speaker 1: But I'd really like to start seeing some of these
- 40:59Speaker 1: survivors get made whole. Got plenty of money in the estate.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Got 18 million on the way. Let's start getting some
- 41:06Speaker 1: of these claims paid out. And let's start letting these
- 41:09Speaker 1: gals move on with their lives and start to rebuild
- 41:13Speaker 1: what has been stolen from them. So I think this
- 41:17Speaker 1: might be a positive sign in that direction, knowing that
- 41:21Speaker 1: Jennifer Oreos and the unnamed Jane Doe have both dropped
- 41:26Speaker 1: their suits, especially considering how adamant Ms.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Oreos was.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Oreos dropped her lawsuit against the British socialite, co-conspirator, general
- 41:39Speaker 1: all-around scuzzbag and bipedal serpent on Monday, according to a
- 41:42Speaker 1: Manhattan Supreme Court filing, the New York Post reports. So
- 41:47Speaker 1: it was filed in the Supreme Court of New York.
- 41:50Speaker 1: That was where the original lawsuit was filed, remember? It
- 41:53Speaker 1: wasn't filed in the SDNY or with Judge Nathan or
- 41:57Speaker 1: anything like that. There was a completely different judge. It
- 42:00Speaker 1: was a completely different case. And it was being heard
- 42:04Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court of Manhattan. So now that it's
- 42:09Speaker 1: been dropped, I'm very interested to see what sort of
- 42:13Speaker 1: movement we have here. and if this starts the ball
- 42:15Speaker 1: rolling on some information trickling out. Now, I don't know
- 42:19Speaker 1: if there's some sort of stipulation within the compensation fund
- 42:23Speaker 1: as far as the survivors not being able to talk
- 42:26Speaker 1: about the amount they receive. There's always some BS in
- 42:32Speaker 1: the little words at the bottom of the page, right?
- 42:36Speaker 1: There's always some nonsense. So I'm curious if there's any
- 42:39Speaker 1: sort of restrictions on them talking about the amounts that
- 42:43Speaker 1: they received if they.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Wanted to, right?
- 42:47Speaker 1: An unidentified woman who sued Epstein's estate in December has
- 42:51Speaker 1: also dropped her claims, according to court records from Friday.
- 42:55Speaker 1: The woman who anonymously sued under the name Jane Doe
- 42:59Speaker 1: 7 was part of a group of nine accusers in
- 43:01Speaker 1: the suit. She claimed in the lawsuit that she was
- 43:04Speaker 1: sexually abused by Epstein in 2007 when she was 22
- 43:06Speaker 1: years old. So, again, that's the unnamed doe that we've
- 43:14Speaker 1: talked about. This is all context for us. We've talked
- 43:17Speaker 1: about all of this. We've covered this. And we are,
- 43:21Speaker 1: you know, all up to date when it comes to
- 43:25Speaker 1: these lawsuits and where we're going. The only thing we
- 43:27Speaker 1: really don't have any idea of as far as particulars
- 43:32Speaker 1: is the compensation fund. But This story tonight just adds
- 43:37Speaker 1: more context and follows along with the thread of Jennifer Arreos,
- 43:43Speaker 1: the unnamed Jane Doe 7, and the other girls in
- 43:46Speaker 1: the suit.
- 43:47Speaker 2: This is just.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Another avenue, right? We know that there are many layers
- 43:51Speaker 1: to this case and it gets confusing. So my goal
- 43:55Speaker 1: is to try and keep things as organized and locked
- 44:00Speaker 1: in as we possibly can. to try and swim through
- 44:04Speaker 1: the muck and get to the good stuff. The two
- 44:11Speaker 1: dropping their cases could reflect that they were awarded money
- 44:14Speaker 1: from the victim's compensation fund set up for Epstein's accusers. Again,
- 44:19Speaker 1: that definitely is what it looks like. I can't confirm
- 44:21Speaker 1: that one way or the other, but if history is
- 44:26Speaker 1: a roadmap to the future, and a lot of times
- 44:30Speaker 1: it is, then I would guess that there are payments
- 44:33Speaker 1: being made and that we'll hear more about it in
- 44:37Speaker 1: the coming weeks or months. In a separate suit against
- 44:42Speaker 1: Epstein's estate, Arreos claimed that the pedophile raped her when
- 44:46Speaker 1: she was just 15. The case is still pending. Okay,
- 44:51Speaker 1: so it's a separate suit against the state and for
- 44:53Speaker 1: Jennifer Arreos, that suit is still pending. That's interesting. So
- 44:57Speaker 1: I wonder how this is all going to turn out. Obviously,
- 45:00Speaker 1: I'll keep my eye on it And as soon as
- 45:02Speaker 1: a report hits the news, we'll be here, we'll add
- 45:05Speaker 1: it to the catalog, and we'll see what sort of
- 45:07Speaker 1: context that provides. Last week, Arreos launched a foundation to
- 45:12Speaker 1: help other victims of sexual abuse, which is a really
- 45:16Speaker 1: great idea. You should check into that. Just look up
- 45:19Speaker 1: Jennifer Arreos and her foundation if you're interested in something
- 45:22Speaker 1: like that and see what she has to offer over there.
- 45:26Speaker 1: The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell is not scheduled to start
- 45:29Speaker 1: until July. but prosecutors must turn over evidence to our
- 45:33Speaker 1: lawyers by Monday. And that's what we discussed last night, right?
- 45:38Speaker 1: When we were talking about the evidence and how discovery phase,
- 45:44Speaker 1: the deadline is coming up Monday and how the prosecution
- 45:49Speaker 1: needs to have all of the documents turned over to
- 45:51Speaker 1: the defense by then. Now they've already turned over like
- 45:55Speaker 1: some 350,000 pages of But we're talking a tranche of
- 45:59Speaker 1: like 1.2 million documents. So it's going to be a
- 46:02Speaker 1: bunch of documents that have to be sent over and
- 46:06Speaker 1: processed by the defense. And that's on schedule for Monday,
- 46:12Speaker 1: according to the prosecution. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to
- 46:17Speaker 1: charges alleging that she recruited three girls in the mid-1990s
- 46:20Speaker 1: for Epstein to abuse. Epstein killed himself, allegedly, in a
- 46:25Speaker 1: Manhattan federal lockup in August 2019 as he awaited trial
- 46:30Speaker 1: on sex trafficking charges. On October 30th, prosecutors sent a
- 46:35Speaker 1: letter to a Manhattan federal court judge that they will,
- 46:39Speaker 1: in the next week, give Maxwell's lawyers over 1.2 million
- 46:43Speaker 1: documents from devices seized from Epstein's residences. So, again, there's
- 46:49Speaker 1: the prosecution... coming out on record once again and saying
- 46:52Speaker 1: they will meet that deadline, that the defense will have
- 46:55Speaker 1: the documents that they've been promised and those documents will
- 47:00Speaker 1: be delivered by the date specified by the court. And
- 47:04Speaker 1: that is this coming Monday. So we'll keep our eye
- 47:07Speaker 1: on that as well. I'm pretty interested to see what
- 47:10Speaker 1: goes on there. And usually there are some really, really
- 47:15Speaker 1: juicy tidbits in discovery phase, right? So I'm wondering about leaks, etc.
- 47:20Speaker 2: etc.
- 47:20Speaker 1: We'll have to keep our ear to the ground and
- 47:23Speaker 1: see what turns up. They say they've turned over more
- 47:27Speaker 1: than 350,000 pages of documents, including search warrants, subpoena returns,
- 47:32Speaker 1: and some records related to law enforcement investigations of Epstein.
- 47:37Speaker 1: So again, 350,000 documents, that is not a small amount.
- 47:42Speaker 1: They have turned over roughly what, a third or so
- 47:46Speaker 1: to Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers. And with the deadline looming, I
- 47:50Speaker 1: am sure that there is going to be a mass
- 47:52Speaker 1: dump very soon.
- 47:54Speaker 2: So we'll see. We will see.
- 47:56Speaker 1: And also remember, there is some evidence that the prosecution
- 47:59Speaker 1: does not want to turn over until two months away
- 48:03Speaker 1: from the start of the trial. So I'm interested to
- 48:06Speaker 1: see how that works out as well. And if Judge
- 48:08Speaker 1: Nathan acquiesces to their request and lets them do that.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Very interesting stuff. I'm fascinated by the way all of
- 48:15Speaker 1: this is working in the federal courts. You know, again,
- 48:18Speaker 1: I've never really followed a case this closely as it
- 48:21Speaker 1: winds its way through the court system. So there's a
- 48:24Speaker 1: lot of things I'm learning right along with you folks, right?
- 48:27Speaker 1: Certainly not a lawyer, definitely not a lawyer. But when
- 48:31Speaker 1: you dive in and you start trying to make heads
- 48:34Speaker 1: or tails of it, the only way to properly do
- 48:36Speaker 1: that is to have the right context. And for me,
- 48:40Speaker 1: it's been just hugely, Hugely valuable to have all of
- 48:46Speaker 1: these articles that we have went through and we've read
- 48:49Speaker 1: together and we've put into the catalog because it paints
- 48:52Speaker 1: the picture, right? It builds the whole entire blueprint of
- 48:56Speaker 1: what's going on. Defense lawyers have complained since Maxwell's July
- 49:01Speaker 1: arrest that prosecutors are slow walking the turnover of evidence
- 49:06Speaker 1: the defense needs to prepare its arguments to challenge charges
- 49:09Speaker 1: against the 58-year-old bipedal serpent. The arguments are due December 21st.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Epstein died in jail, allegedly. awaiting his sex trafficking trial
- 49:22Speaker 1: in August 2019. So December 21st is creeping up, folks.
- 49:27Speaker 1: That is going to be something. I am really looking
- 49:30Speaker 1: forward to that. The arguments and discovery phase, always going
- 49:34Speaker 1: to be exciting. And obviously, if We have access to
- 49:38Speaker 1: the phone system to call in and listen to the proceedings.
- 49:42Speaker 1: I will obviously do that because, as you all know,
- 49:45Speaker 1: I like to get it directly from the source if
- 49:47Speaker 1: I can. So we got a lot of things going on.
- 49:50Speaker 1: A lot of things are cooking. There's a lot of
- 49:53Speaker 1: frying pans over the fire. And like usual, we have
- 49:58Speaker 1: more questions than answers. So all we can keep doing
- 50:02Speaker 1: is keep, you know, fighting our way upstream, trying to
- 50:06Speaker 1: avoid the bullshit. and trying to process the actual information
- 50:11Speaker 1: that is tangible to the case. So we'll just keep
- 50:15Speaker 1: doing our best at, you know, reading between the lines
- 50:18Speaker 1: and analyzing the news in this Epstein case as best
- 50:23Speaker 1: that I can. As for tonight and the Daily Drop,
- 50:28Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm going to have a Daily
- 50:30Speaker 1: Drop tonight. I might just have a flashback episode. Obviously,
- 50:33Speaker 1: there's a lot going on with the election still and
- 50:36Speaker 1: I just have stuff going on today. So I'm not
- 50:39Speaker 1: positive about a daily drop. There might be one. But
- 50:42Speaker 1: if not, there definitely will be a flashback episode. So
- 50:45Speaker 1: either way, if there's no daily drop, obviously I'll be
- 50:48Speaker 1: back tomorrow morning to kick it back into overdrive and
- 50:51Speaker 1: see where we're at. If you'd like to contact me,
