  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: where we left off with the Maritza Vasquez deposition about
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: MC Squared, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Jeffrey Epstein. Once again, Bradley
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Edwards is asking the questions, and Ms. Vasquez is doing
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the answering. Question. The last time we talked, I have
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: just the investigative report, which basically... Was just typed up
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: from the things that you said. It was written that Ms.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Vasquez advised that she, herself, submitted the documents to renew
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Nadia's foreign visa on at least two occasions. Vasquez. No,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: not me. It was Evelyn Valenzuela. I never did her visa.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: That visa was done by Evelyn in New York. Question.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: When's the first time that you learned that Nadia Marcinkova
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was involved with Jeffrey Epstein? I believe in 2007, after
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I was out of the company. Question, you didn't know
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: when you were in the company that they were involved? Vasquez, no. Question, alright.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: At some point in time, did you get in trouble,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: criminal trouble related to MC2? Vasquez, they accused me in 2006. Question,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: who accused you? Answer, Jeff. Question, Jeff Fuller. Answer, yes. Question,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: what did he accuse you of? Answer, of stealing money.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And I had a letter from Jean-Luc Brunel authorizing me
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to get the money that I had, you know? Question,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and did you ultimately have to plead to criminal charges
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: because of that? Answer, that was my, that's what my
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: attorney told me to do. Question, yeah. Answer, Vasquez, yeah. Question,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: so now you're on probation or something? Answer, yes. Question,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: how long does the probation last? Vasquez, they did it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for 20 years, so I'm just trying to reduce that. Question,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: 20-year probation? Answer, yeah. Question, and other than Jeff Fuller,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: who else was, who else is making these accusations? Vasquez,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: only Jeff. Question, how about Jean-Luc? Answer, I never. My
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: attorney told me that Jean-Luc was never interviewed. Nothing. Question,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein? Vasquez, no. Question, have you talked to Jean-Luc
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Brunel about the whole situation? Vasquez, I spoke with Jean-Luc
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on two or three times. I spoke with Jean-Luc like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: two or three times during, prior, to the middle of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the process. I did. And I still have an email
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that he sent me because he wanted to talk to me.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to him. And I never made
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the time because Jeff Fuller didn't allow him to talk
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to me. So we never got together to talk. Question,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and they prosecuted the case in federal court here in Miami? Vasquez, yes. Question,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and your entire sentence was probation, there was no prison,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: or house arrest? Answer, by Vasquez, house arrest one year.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That it was already done, and then probation. Question, the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: last time I have a lot of other notes about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: some of the other models that were being brought in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and signing visas, as if they were going to work here,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but really they were living in the apartment and didn't
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: really do any modeling work. Vasquez, yeah, that's true, that's true,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I told you that. Many, many girls were coming here.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Many girls were coming here without a visa, without a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: working visa. Most of the girls, they were coming into
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the States as tourists. They were working. Whenever they work,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they were collecting 30% from their income when they were
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: not even legal. They didn't even have social security or nothing,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but they never pay it. Neither to the government, neither
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the girls, you know. And within the time, I believe,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Jean-Luc started getting pressure from Mr. Epstein that he didn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want to get in trouble, and he put some pressure
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: on Jean-Luc. So he wanted all the girls to have
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a visa. So they start working on the visas of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the girls. Question, okay. Vasquez. And they were making, like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: contracts or things like that, because prior to that, they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: didn't have it. Prior to that, when Jean-Luc, prior to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Jean-Luc getting money from Mr. Epstein, Jean-Luc was doing whatever
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he wanted. Question. Okay. Vasquez. And later, you know, Mr.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Epstein put the money that he had to start taking,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, all the invoices from Mr. Epstein. Question. Does
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein know that Jean-Luc is a coke addict? Vasquez.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know that Mr. Epstein
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: knows that Jean-Luc lied to him all the time because
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: when he, when I gave the line of credit to Jean-Luc,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Jean-Luc presented false statements to him. You know, Mr. Epstein
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to see that the company was profitable, and we
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: had to hide all those numbers, and we had to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: give him, like, positive numbers so he can see what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the company was making money, but in belief, always was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the red. Question, what do you mean by that?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein said, hey, I'm going to give you money
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as long as the company is positive. Vasquez, yeah, Mr.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Epstein wanted to see, I believe, I believe, since he's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a very successful person money-wise. He was not stupid to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: put his money, even though he knew he was able
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to get girls or whatever, you know, if that was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the case. But deep inside, he wanted to see if
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: these people really, if this company was profitable for him
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to put a million dollars. So maybe Eric Granny at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the time was one of his advisors and they wanted
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to see the profit and loss statements and, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the balance book or whatever. I told you the name
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of the accountant that you could go and look at
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: all those papers. you know, make a subpoena, whatever, of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Richard Fernandez, that he could give you all the information, 98, 99, 2000,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: after 2005, that he did everything, and you could see
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the company was always in the red. Always. Question, so
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the company wasn't profitable, but Jean-Luc falsified documents to show
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein? Vasquez, yes. Question, and you have seen
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the real documents and the falsified documents? Vasquez, yes. Question,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so you know that they were falsified? Vasquez, yes. Question,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: is it your understanding that Jeffrey Epstein is still involved
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: from a financial aspect in MC2? Vasquez, I believe so,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: because as far as I know, the line of credit
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't paid. The million dollars wasn't paid. Question, and Jean-Luc
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and Epstein are still friends? Vasquez, yes. Jean-Luc is still
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: living in Jeffrey Epstein's apartment in New York. Question, how
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: do you know that? Vasquez, well, because, because I know. Question,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: from Evelyn. Vasquez, yes. Question, is Evelyn still working for
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: MC Squared? Vasquez, no. Question, do you know who is
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: working for MC Squared? Vasquez, it was working until not
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: too long ago. A very Evelyn's granddaughter, Jobelyn, she was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: working there. Question, how do you spell that? Answer, J-O-B-E-L-I-N. Question, okay,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: anybody else? Vasquez in Europe? Question, yes, or here? Answer, no,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that was related to Eve? No, Evelyn? Joblin? Question, who
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: works in the MC Squared office here? Answer, here I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: know other things because Amanda Grant and I gave you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: her name more than one time. Amanda was working with
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: them until 2008. And she got a lot of information
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and she wanted, you know, she call. I arranged the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: call with Immigration. because they screw her. And actually, they
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: made her leave the company because she has, she's a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: single mother, four kids, and they were giving her a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: lot of bad, bad times. Question, how do you spell
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: her name? Amanda Grand? Answer, no, Amanda Grant, with a T. Question,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and do you know her address, phone number, something like that? Vasquez,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I have, you can get it in Facebook, she's in Facebook,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Amanda Grant. Question, do you have it? Vasquez, not in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this phone. My other phone broke, so I don't. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: can get it for you if you want. Question, yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I would appreciate that. Vasquez, yeah, Amanda also had the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: information of monies. As I told you before, she took
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: monies that they were transferred to the Virgin Islands. Question,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: monies transferred to the Virgin Islands? Answer, yes. Question, from
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: what account to what? Vasquez, yes. Jean-Luc opened an account
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: there because Jeffrey told him that it was better to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: open an account there. So there was money. Like, for example,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: if the monies were going to Manuel Cruz to do
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a shoot or something, Jean-Luc was negotiating with the girls
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and say, okay, if you go to the sunny photos,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I give you 2,000 cash. No reports, whatever. So Jean-Luc
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: had a billing that had company from another company or
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: from the Virgin Islands So he was neither paying taxes here,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and maybe he was making $ 20, 000 on that shooting, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he was giving the girl only $ 2, 000, and that money
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: never came to be reported here. Question, okay, other than
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you saying that you know that a 15-year-old or so
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: went to Jean-Luc's house with him, how else do we
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: know that Jean-Luc or Jeffrey Epstein, I'm more concerned with
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, were involved sexually with underage girls? Answer, how
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: do I know? I cannot tell you that. I saw it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: That I was there because that's not true. I never
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: saw anything. Question, right, but sometimes you just know. Answer, yeah, sometimes.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And that's what I can tell you I know because
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I can tell you about Jean-Luc that I know because
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I met him for 10 years, okay? I can put
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: my hand on fire and I can tell you that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he did it. About Jean-Luc, I can say it. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: don't know about Mr. Epstein because I was never, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: met him once in my life. I saw him once
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in my life. And after that, when I saw him,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was in the newspapers, that's it. Question, and otherwise, you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: just heard that Jeffrey Epstein likes underage girls? Vasquez, underage girls, yeah. Question,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and there was a time where Sergio, well, I've talked
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to Sergio, so I'll talk to him about whatever the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Ecuador trip was. Vasquez, yeah. Question, all right, do you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: know of his company? C-O-U-Q, answer, no. Question, foundation, all right,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: do you know somebody by the name of Gypsy? Answer, no.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And that's interesting. Just interject, because there's somebody named Gypsy Gita.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: who Shantae Davies said was the one who brought her
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: into the belly of the beast. So just keep that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: name in mind for later on. Question, somebody who provided
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey girls? Answer, no. Question, how about Joletta? Answer, no. Question,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: never heard that name? Answer, no. Question, Dana Burns? Vasquez,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I believe I heard that name. Question, she works up
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: in New York? I believe she works for Jeffrey Epstein
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in some capacity. Do you know who that is? Answer.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I believe so. No. Question. Okay. Vasquez. The person who

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They were always like that, Corrado and Luke. I met
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Jean-Luc's friends in Ecuador like people that had to be.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: People that they were involved with modeling agencies in Europe,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in South America, but very different people. Very different people.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I met some people from France. Pero, really. Even if
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they were guys or whatever. Gentlemen. You know, like very

  Speaker 1: How about Simon Perra? You know who that is? Answer.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Simon Perra. Yeah. Question. How do you know him? Answer.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I met him through Jean-Luc. Question. And what's his story? Answer. Mr.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Apara is very good friends of the office. I cannot
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: say of Jean-Luc because he was only a friend of him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He was a very good friend of the office because Mr.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Apara is a gentleman. He was lending money to the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: office whenever I requested. He always gave it to me
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: for the office. You know, that I signed. I had
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to sign papers for him or whatever to do the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: payroll or whatever. But Mr. Parra is the guy. He
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: likes to be surrounded by girls, but not underage girls.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: All right, folks, we're going to wrap up right there.
