From Cellmate to Storyteller: Nicholas Tartaglione And The Claim That Epstein Left A Note (5/1/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and his
• 0:08
  death at MCC, there is still more questions than there
• 0:12
  are answers. And now that we have access to the
• 0:15
  Epstein files, or at least some of them, and we've
• 0:18
  seen some of the depositions from people working at MCC,
• 0:22
  does anyone out there actually believe the official narrative? And
• 0:25
  I think that one of the biggest tells that their
• 0:28
  narrative is garbage is by how evasive everybody's been during
• 0:33
  the OIG interviews. You could tell that the lieutenant that
• 0:37
  we're talking about right now wanted nothing to do with it.
• 0:40
  Do you really think he had no idea about anything
• 0:42
  that happened? He had no idea how any other process
• 0:45
  worked in the shoe. Of course he did, but he
• 0:50
  was being evasive about it. He didn't want to give
• 0:52
  them the information they were looking for. And that's because
• 0:56
  I believe that either the facility let Jeffrey Epstein do
• 1:00
  what he did or somebody else did it. And when
• 1:05
  I say let him do it, I believe that Nicholas
• 1:08
  Tartaglioni was there to pass on a message, and that
• 1:12
  message was, look, we can reach out and touch you
• 1:14
  whenever we want, and either you're gonna do it or
• 1:17
  we're going to do it. And Epstein knew exactly who
• 1:21
  he was dealing with, and he knew that these people
• 1:24
  meant business. So if Epstein did take himself out, then
• 1:30
  I think he did so at the behest of the
• 1:32
  people who wanted him gone. But you know what, I
• 1:36
  don't believe for a single second that Jeffrey Epstein wrote
• 1:39
  any kind of suicide note while he was in that
• 1:42
  cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni. You can save that shit for
• 1:46
  somebody else, because I'm not buying it, not for one
• 1:48
  single second, especially considering nobody has taken responsibility for making
• 1:53
  the choice of putting Tartaglioni in his cell with Epstein
• 1:56
  in the first place. He should have never been in
• 1:58
  that cell. This is the guy who just got an
• 2:01
  infraction roughly a week earlier for having a phone in
• 2:04
  his cell, and then all of a sudden, you put
• 2:09
  him in a cell with Epstein, and Epstein just happens
• 2:12
  to almost commit suicide. Who was tartag Leoni talking to
• 2:16
  on that phone and instead of being punished. Why was
• 2:19
  he rewarded by being put in a cell with Epstein?
• 2:22
  And when you go through the depositions, it's a whole
• 2:24
  bunch of we don't know, we didn't make the decision,
• 2:27
  We have no idea ask the warden. Well, the warden's
• 2:30
  dead now, so nobody's asking him anything. And if I
• 2:34
  was a member of Congress, I wouldn't be wasting my
• 2:36
  time with Glenn Maxwell's ex boyfriend. Instead, I'd be calling
• 2:40
  up this unnamed lieutenant, the captains, all of the guards,
• 2:45
  everybody involved, any person that was involved in the decision making,
• 2:50
  I'd be bringing them before Congress and putting them under oath.
• 2:54
  Why are we wasting our time with people that have
• 2:56
  nothing to do with it, really, unless, of course, you're
• 3:00
  trying to play out the string. And as you know,
• 3:03
  I think that the GOP members of the committee are
• 3:06
  just trying to run the clock out, and I think
• 3:08
  that's what they've been trying to do from the start.
• 3:11
  So today we have an article from ABC News and
• 3:14
  the headline Excelmate says he found suicide note from Jeffrey
• 3:18
  Epstein following earlier suicide attempt. This article was authored by
• 3:23
  James Hill and Aaron Katerski. I'm gonna file this one
• 3:30
  under bullshit. I'll just be straight up with you. I
• 3:33
  don't believe a thing Nicholas Tartaglioni has to say. The
• 3:37
  guy's corrupt, He's a four time murderer, part of a
• 3:40
  drug cartel, and somebody that is just not trustworthy. You
• 3:44
  might as well listen to Glenn Maxwell too. A suicide
• 3:48
  note purportedly written by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
• 3:52
  is locked inside the case file of his former cellmate,
• 3:56
  convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglioni, who told The New York
• 4:00
  Times it was written on paper from a yellow legal
• 4:03
  pad and tucked inside a book. Okay, that's Tartaglioni's side
• 4:06
  of it, right, here's my side of it. Tartaglioni wrote
• 4:10
  that note, put it in the book, and had this
• 4:12
  whole plan ready to go. And I believe that there
• 4:14
  is sufficient evidence to back that up. Why would Jeffrey
• 4:17
  Epstein say that Nicholas Tartaglioni was threatening him, that Tartaglioni
• 4:22
  roughed him up. What did Epstein have to gain by that?
• 4:26
  Not a damn thing. On the flip side, What did
• 4:30
  tartag Leoni have to gain? Well, he didn't get the
• 4:33
  death penalty, right, did that have anything to do with it?
• 4:37
  Did one of his buddies pull some strings after Tartaglioni
• 4:40
  completed his task at MCC what that's not plausible? I
• 4:45
  think it is, especially considering what we've heard from all
• 4:48
  the employees. I think somebody was paid off. I don't
• 4:52
  know who, but I think that a good place to
• 4:54
  start would be Toauvin Nowell and Michael Thomas, and then
• 4:58
  of course some of these other lieutenants that we've talked
• 5:00
  about might have been in on it. Who knows. And
• 5:03
  I'm not saying they murdered Epstein? But did they set
• 5:06
  the scene? Did they make sure the time was right?
• 5:11
  I don't know. These were questions that the OIJ should
• 5:14
  have been asking, but instead we see how they work.
• 5:19
  According to the Times, Tartaglioni found the note in July
• 5:22
  of twenty nineteen, after Epstein unsuccessfully tried to kill himself, allegedly,
• 5:28
  about two weeks before Epstein died by suicide allegedly in
• 5:32
  his Lower Manhattan jail cell. Boy, they sure are quick
• 5:35
  to just jump on board with that narrative. Huh. Epstein
• 5:38
  died in his jail cell. Nicholas Tartaglioni wrote, found a note.
• 5:42
  What why would you believe what Tartaglioni has to say?
• 5:47
  And don't you realize that this is something that's self serving?
• 5:49
  It helps him out, helps his case out, makes it
• 5:52
  look mysterious. There's no mystery here. Tartaglioni is a vile
• 5:57
  murderer who murdered four people and in my opinion, also
• 6:01
  assaulted Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was found in his cell on
• 6:05
  July twenty third, twenty nineteen, with a homemade noose fashioned
• 6:09
  around his neck, according to a Bureau of Prisons incident report.
• 6:14
  Is that true, though? What did Michael Thomas say in
• 6:16
  the deposition? Well, I don't know what was around his neck.
• 6:19
  I can't recall, I don't remember. Oh, I don't know
• 6:22
  if that was it. And then they show us a
• 6:25
  picture of a noose and it wasn't even the noose
• 6:27
  that was supposedly around old Boy's neck. So if you
• 6:30
  want to believe that shit, that's cool. As I've told
• 6:33
  you a million times, I'm not here to convince anybody
• 6:36
  of anything. Here's the evidence. If you want to follow
• 6:39
  it wherever it leads. Cool. If not, that's fine too.
• 6:42
  The days of me trying to convince people of what's
• 6:45
  going on here long over. So now I just show
• 6:48
  up with a handful of receipts. Epstein was lying in
• 6:54
  a fetal position on the floor of his cell, wearing
• 6:56
  a T shirt and boxers. He was breathing heavily and
• 6:59
  was snor His neck was red with no abrasions. The
• 7:03
  report said. Epstein was determined to have sustained a circular
• 7:07
  line of arrhythmia at the base of his neck and
• 7:11
  friction marks on the front of his neck. Yeah, because
• 7:14
  you know Epstein decided to try and kill himself with
• 7:16
  Tartaglioni sleeping on the floor, sounds like a great plan
• 7:20
  in a plot like Epstein's. A lot of things, or
• 7:24
  was a lot of things, stupid wasn't one of them.
• 7:28
  And if he was going to take himself out, I
• 7:29
  think he'd have a better plan. So, in my opinion,
• 7:33
  and I've said this from the very beginning, Nicholas Tartaglioni
• 7:37
  was there to send a message and considering what happened,
• 7:40
  a few weeks later, it would seem like that message
• 7:43
  was heard loud and clear. According to the report, Epstein
• 7:48
  alleged that it cell mate Tartaglioni had tried to kill him,
• 7:51
  an allegation he did not repeat. He later said he
• 7:54
  could not recall what happened. Tartaglioni has denied attempting to
• 7:58
  harm Epstein. Well, okay, well that's the end of it, right,
• 8:01
  Let's just trust Tartaglioni. People that are grasping for straws
• 8:06
  to try and have the official narrative be true are
• 8:10
  looking real foolish right now, because if you're relying on
• 8:13
  Nicholas Tartaglioni as your source here, then I'm telling you
• 8:17
  right from the jump, I don't believe what you're saying.
• 8:21
  And in my opinion, he wrote, whatever note was found,
• 8:25
  but we'll never know, right because the camera has just
• 8:28
  happened to not be working that night that we're pointing
• 8:31
  at the cell. No big deal, just another coincidence, just
• 8:35
  another thing that happened to happen when it comes to
• 8:38
  Jeffrey Epstein. Tartaglioni first mentioned the existence of the purported
• 8:44
  suicide note in a podcast last year. Why is he
• 8:47
  on a podcast? First of all, Second of all, why
• 8:49
  does anyone care what Tartaglioni has to say. It's unbelievable.
• 8:53
  It's truly unbelievable. It said something like, FBI, you know
• 8:59
  you looked into me for months and found nothing. Then
• 9:01
  he wrote what do you want me to do? Cry
• 9:03
  about it? And he was weird because he wrote a
• 9:06
  smiley face and then he wrote time to say goodbye.
• 9:08
  Tartaglioni said on the podcast, you mean you wrote it right, Nick,
• 9:13
  you fucking clown. And if anybody's out here supporting this dude,
• 9:16
  fuck you too. Is that clear? Four time murderer? Oh yeah,
• 9:20
  he got screwed by the system. No, just another scumbag
• 9:25
  involved in the drug game and decided that he had
• 9:28
  to be the big shot and take out his rivals
• 9:30
  for them stealing from him. And then you put that
• 9:34
  dude in a cell with one of the most prolific
• 9:37
  inmates in the country. That doesn't even happen in movies.
• 9:42
  That's like some shit from tangoing cash right. Oh, we'll
• 9:47
  send them to the jail and then we'll have people
• 9:49
  kill them. I mean, what are we even doing here? There?
• 9:54
  Was nobody else in the facility to put Epstein in
• 9:56
  a jail cell with he had to use Nicholas Tartaglioni.
• 9:59
  And the wild part is people are buying it. People
• 10:01
  are actually out here buying what Tartaglioni has to say.
• 10:04
  Crazy work, crazy ass work. The note is now part
• 10:09
  of a sealed file in Tartaglioni's criminal case. The New
• 10:12
  York Times on Thursday filed a petition with a federal
• 10:15
  judge to have the alleged note unsealed, arguing that Tartaglioni
• 10:20
  has publicly discussed it and that a two page chronology
• 10:23
  document about the alleged note was included in the Justice
• 10:26
  Department's recent disclosures of the Epstein files. US District Judge
• 10:31
  Kenneth Carris ordered the parties to the case to respond
• 10:35
  to the Times unsealing request by May fourth. Federal prosecutors
• 10:39
  from the Southern District of New York did not know
• 10:41
  of any suicide note written by Epstein, sources familiar with
• 10:45
  the matter told ABC News, but a two page chart
• 10:48
  contained in the Justice departments Epstein files referenced it sometime
• 10:53
  between seven twenty three and seven twenty seven and T
• 10:56
  found the note, the chart said, referencing Nicholas Tartaglioni by initials,
• 11:01
  The chart said. Tartaglioni's lawyer, Bruce Barkett, authenticated the note
• 11:06
  in January twenty twenty, but did not say how so.
• 11:09
  The only people who have authenticated this are Tartaglioni's team,
• 11:13
  And you want me to believe that? Now for the
• 11:16
  regular people out there who are new to the story, Oh,
• 11:18
  it's this a big story, right, It's a big bombshell.
• 11:22
  Five pages of Google news about this stupid note that
• 11:26
  Nicholas Tartaglioni wrote. Yeah, that's right, I said it. I
• 11:29
  don't believe his story. Okay? Is that clear? Everybody out
• 11:32
  there got that? Good. Reached by ABC News on Thursday,
• 11:37
  Barkett declined to comment because the matter is sealed. The
• 11:41
  entire Epstein affair as it relates to Nick is under seal,
• 11:44
  not just a supposed note if there is one, Barkett said,
• 11:48
  And why is that? Why is that? What does that
• 11:51
  have to do with Tartaglioni's case overall? Why would they
• 11:54
  seal it to protect their boy? Right? Okay? Seems to
• 12:00
  me that that's the case, and in my opinion, that's
• 12:03
  what we're looking at. Just another cog in the machine,
• 12:07
  just another hustle performed on the American people, just another
• 12:12
  aspect of the ongoing cover up. After the first possible
• 12:17
  suicide attempt to Epstein himself denied he was suicidal during
• 12:21
  a suicide risk assessment he underwent while in jail and made.
• 12:25
  Epstein denied any past or presence suicidal ideation, intention, or plan.
• 12:30
  He denied ever engaging in any suicide attempts or a
• 12:34
  self injurious behavior in the past, the evaluation said. He
• 12:38
  stated he lives to have fun, to enjoy life, and
• 12:41
  to learn. He said his future plans include fighting his
• 12:44
  case and going back to his normal life. Sounds like
• 12:47
  a guy that's trying to commit suicide. Huh, So, who
• 12:50
  are you gonna listen to Nicholas Tartaglioni or what Epstein
• 12:54
  was telling his lawyers. I'm gonna go with what Epstein
• 12:56
  was telling his lawyers. Epstein was taken off so a
• 13:00
  side watch the following day, July twenty fourth, twenty nineteen,
• 13:04
  but was kept under psychological evaluation. Mister Epstein stated, I
• 13:09
  have no interest in killing myself. A staff psychologist at
• 13:12
  the Metropolitan Correctional Center, wrote in a report. He explained
• 13:17
  although his situation is not perfect due to his being incarcerated,
• 13:20
  he noted he has lots to do for his legal case.
• 13:24
  He described having a wonderful life to include interactions with
• 13:27
  interesting people and projects. He said it would be crazy
• 13:31
  to take his life. He furthered I would not do
• 13:34
  that to myself, and I have talked to literally a
• 13:38
  dozen people who knew the men who have said the
• 13:40
  same thing. Epstein, a wealthy financier who owned two private
• 13:46
  islands in the Virgin Islands, came under investigation for allegedly
• 13:49
  luring minor girls to his seaside home in Palm Beach,
• 13:53
  Florida for massage that turned sexual. Allegedly, no, he did it, Hey,
• 13:57
  James Sill, the fuck is wrong with you? Do you
• 14:00
  get allegedly here? You want to use allegedly cool talk
• 14:03
  about Prince Andrew, But there's no allegedly here. These girls
• 14:09
  were brought to the island, they were brought to Florida,
• 14:12
  they were brought to New York, and they were abused.
• 14:16
  He served thirteen months of an eighteen month sentence for
• 14:19
  sex crimes charged after reaching a controversial non prosecution agreement
• 14:23
  in two thousand and seven with the US Attorney's Office
• 14:26
  in Miami. In twenty nineteen, Epstein was indicted on charges
• 14:31
  that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls
• 14:35
  at his homes in Manhattan, New York, and pom Beach, Florida,
• 14:39
  among other locations, and use cash payments to recruit a
• 14:42
  vass network of underage victims, some of whom were as
• 14:46
  young as fourteen years old. Epstein died in jail while
• 14:50
  awaiting trial on August tenth, twenty nineteen. His death was
• 14:54
  ruled a suicide by hanging by the New York Medical
• 14:57
  Examiner's Office and the Justice Department can occurred with that finding.
• 15:02
  Tartaglioni was convicted in twenty twenty three and sentenced in
• 15:06
  twenty twenty four to four consecutive terms of life imprisonment.
• 15:10
  His appeal is currently pending before the Second Circuit of
• 15:14
  the Court of Appeals. Yeah, good luck, buddy. Enjoy your
• 15:17
  stay because you're not going anywhere. If you remember, we
• 15:21
  followed that trial and the evidence was overwhelming, just like
• 15:25
  I think the evidence is overwhelming. That Tartaglioni assaulted Epstein
• 15:29
  in that gel cell, and not only that, my guess
• 15:32
  is my speculation is that he also wrote that note.
• 15:36
  So we'll keep on keeping on, and when we have
• 15:38
  some more information about Tartaglioni and this fougazy note, we'll
• 15:43
  get it added to the catalog. All the information that
• 15:46
  goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
