Mega Edition: Jes Staley Complains About Being Railroaded By The Epstein Allegations (7/25/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
0:04
Speaker 1: Jess Daly and JP Morgan are going back and forth
0:08
Speaker 1: over what's going on down in the Virgin Islands, and
0:11
Speaker 1: i'll tell you what, it's getting a bit contentious. The
0:14
Speaker 1: allegations that are being thrown this way and that by
0:18
Speaker 1: both parties are almost laughable at this point for me,
0:21
Speaker 1: considering both parties are obviously on the hook for what
0:25
Speaker 1: happened here, and instead of just owning up to that,
0:28
Speaker 1: they're trying to say, well, I might have been wrong,
0:31
Speaker 1: but this guy over here he was more wrong than
0:34
Speaker 1: I was, so you should focus on him more than
0:36
Speaker 1: you focus on us. It's a classic attempt to muddy
0:39
Speaker 1: the waters when the reality is both groups, meaning the
0:43
Speaker 1: management structure of JP Morgan and Jess Day and anybody
0:48
Speaker 1: around him, they all knew the deal. They knew what
0:50
Speaker 1: Epstein was up to. They knew he was a dirtbag, scumbag,
0:53
Speaker 1: son of a bitch, and they knew that he was
0:55
Speaker 1: molesting and hurting people. They didn't care. That's what it
0:58
Speaker 1: comes down to. They did not care that Epstein was
1:02
Speaker 1: engaging in all of this behavior because he was bringing
1:05
Speaker 1: other rich scumbags to the bank. And as long as
1:08
Speaker 1: that was happening and the money kept flowing in, then
1:12
Speaker 1: everybody who was very content to hang out with Epstein,
1:16
Speaker 1: they were all content to take his money, they were
1:18
Speaker 1: all content to do business with them. Well, guess what,
1:21
Speaker 1: now it's time to answer some questions. Today's article is
1:25
Speaker 1: from NBC News and the headline JP Morgan alleges former
1:30
Speaker 1: executive thwarted efforts to cut ties with Epstein. The bank
1:34
Speaker 1: claimed Jeff Staley knew of Epstein's sex trafficking and engaged
1:38
Speaker 1: in sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein. Staley
1:43
Speaker 1: has said he is being used as a PR shield,
1:46
Speaker 1: and honestly, all of that is true. They are using
1:49
Speaker 1: him as a PR shield, But he was engaged in
1:52
Speaker 1: all of Epstein's bullshit, and according to at least some reports,
1:57
Speaker 1: he was involved in the actual abuse of some of
1:59
Speaker 1: these girls. So that elevates him from just an enabler
2:03
Speaker 1: to absolute piece of shit status, right up there with
2:07
Speaker 1: guys like you know, Bill Richardson, Glenn Dubin, George Mitchell,
2:12
Speaker 1: and the rest of them. This article was authored by
2:15
Speaker 1: Chloe Atkins. JP Morgan Chase claimed its former executive Jess
2:21
Speaker 1: Staley repeatedly thwarted its efforts to cut ties with convicted
2:25
Speaker 1: sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during Staley's tenure at the bank,
2:30
Speaker 1: according to court documents filed this week. So you mean
2:33
Speaker 1: to tell me that Jess Staley could tell Jamie Diamond
2:37
Speaker 1: what to do, he could tell the executive board what
2:40
Speaker 1: to do. I don't buy that for a minute. And
2:43
Speaker 1: the fact that they're gonna get out here and try
2:45
Speaker 1: and pitch that to people is pretty laughable. I don't
2:48
Speaker 1: think people are buying that bullshit anymore. It's like when
2:51
Speaker 1: we were kids, right, well those of us that are
2:53
Speaker 1: older anyway, our parents could tell us anything and we
2:56
Speaker 1: couldn't fact check it. We'd have to go to the
2:58
Speaker 1: library to look something up. But now we can go
3:01
Speaker 1: right to the internet, take a look and know you're
3:04
Speaker 1: a bullshitting us. So Sam goes here. Nobody was thwarting anything, Okay,
3:09
Speaker 1: you weren't trying to get rid of Jeffrey Epstein. And
3:13
Speaker 1: in fact, what you're doing is lying to us. But
3:16
Speaker 1: unlike the old days, we can go and check now
3:19
Speaker 1: and verify well that you're lying. The Wall Street Giant
3:23
Speaker 1: sued Stay in March saying he should be held liable
3:27
Speaker 1: for any financial damages it might have to pay from
3:30
Speaker 1: two lawsuits that alleged it enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
3:35
Speaker 1: Now imagine just sit back in the cut for a
3:37
Speaker 1: minute and let that sink in. Not one bit of
3:40
Speaker 1: talk about criminal sanction, not one bit of talk about
3:44
Speaker 1: anyone going to prison. Once again, just another financial slap. Staley,
3:49
Speaker 1: who worked at the bank for more than thirty years,
3:52
Speaker 1: asked a federal judge last month to dismiss the lawsuit,
3:56
Speaker 1: saying the bank was using him as a public relation shield.
4:00
Speaker 1: In response, the bank this week alleged that Staley knew
4:04
Speaker 1: of Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise and engaged in sexual activity
4:08
Speaker 1: with young women procured by Epstein, but acted to protect
4:13
Speaker 1: himself and Epstein, who could have exposed Staley's misconduct. Court
4:17
Speaker 1: documents said. So they're going in all the way on
4:20
Speaker 1: jess Staley. According to JP Morgan, folks, everything was Jess
4:24
Speaker 1: Daley's fault. He's the only guy here who had anything
4:29
Speaker 1: to do with Jeffrey Epstein, and of course he made
4:32
Speaker 1: every decision for the company as well, according to this lawsuit.
4:36
Speaker 1: Now back to reality. We know that's not the case.
4:39
Speaker 1: We know that there are many channels that this sort
4:42
Speaker 1: of thing has to go through. We know that there's
4:44
Speaker 1: an auditing department, there's risk management, and all of these
4:49
Speaker 1: different levers of security, all of these redundancies were bypassed.
4:54
Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that Jess Staley had that
4:57
Speaker 1: kind of power. I mean, I guess it's pos possible.
5:00
Speaker 1: But if that's the case and you're a shareholder of
5:03
Speaker 1: JP Morgan, do you have any faith in Jamie Diamond
5:06
Speaker 1: at this point, Bro, you can't even control your underlings
5:10
Speaker 1: to not pallel around with Jeffrey Epstein. Why do you
5:13
Speaker 1: think that you should run this whole last company? Seems
5:16
Speaker 1: like a pretty straightforward question, right. Unfortunately, none of these
5:20
Speaker 1: goofballs in the legacy media will ever ask it. Staley
5:24
Speaker 1: persisted for years in protecting Epstein in the face of
5:27
Speaker 1: attempts by JPMC personnel to end the company's relationship with
5:31
Speaker 1: Epstein on reputational grounds, made misrepresentations in the process, and
5:37
Speaker 1: continued to do so to the end of his JP
5:41
Speaker 1: Morgan tenure, the bank said in the court filing. And
5:44
Speaker 1: Epstein victim has alleged that Staley sexually abused her while
5:48
Speaker 1: he was working at the bank. Court document said, and look,
5:52
Speaker 1: I believe the accuser who is saying this, especially if
5:55
Speaker 1: the accuser is who I think it is. If that's
5:58
Speaker 1: the case, the whole entire thing is about the fall
6:02
Speaker 1: in on the head of JP Morgan and Jess Staley,
6:05
Speaker 1: because this survivor was with Epstein all the time, from
6:09
Speaker 1: the time she was fourteen. And if that's the case,
6:12
Speaker 1: and it is who I think it is, she has
6:14
Speaker 1: all the keys to the kingdom. She knows everything, She
6:18
Speaker 1: knows all the people who are around, she knows all
6:20
Speaker 1: the people who are involved, and I'm sure she's found
6:24
Speaker 1: a very receptive audience to hear her stories. When we're
6:27
Speaker 1: talking about the United States, Virgin Islands and their legal team,
6:32
Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase said this week that it did not know,
6:35
Speaker 1: nor could it have reasonably known, of the woman's allegations.
6:39
Speaker 1: Staley's attorneys did not immediately respond to her request for comment.
6:44
Speaker 1: Stale has called the accusations baseless, but has expressed regret
6:49
Speaker 1: for his relationship with Epstein. Once again, he is not
6:53
Speaker 1: regretful that he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He's
6:56
Speaker 1: regretful that he was caught. He's regretful that all of
7:00
Speaker 1: you out there are putting his ass on blast on
7:02
Speaker 1: a regular basis. That's what he's worried about. That's what
7:05
Speaker 1: he regrets. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for
7:10
Speaker 1: prostitution in two thousand and eight. He died by suicide
7:13
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen at a Manhattan correctional center where he
7:17
Speaker 1: was being held on federal sex trafficking charges. Allegedly died
7:22
Speaker 1: by suicide. By the way, has anyone seen any real
7:25
Speaker 1: concrete evidence telling us he died by suicide? Or are
7:29
Speaker 1: we just going by what the medical examiner and good
7:32
Speaker 1: old Bill Barr told us? Because I don't believe either
7:35
Speaker 1: of them. JP Morgan Chase was sued by the US
7:39
Speaker 1: Virgin Islands and a woman identified as Jane doe Ie
7:43
Speaker 1: last year, claiming it turned a blind eye towards Epstein's conduct. Well,
7:47
Speaker 1: so do the Virgin Islands, right, the USVII has some
7:51
Speaker 1: audacity here, considering Epstein went down there, set up shop,
7:55
Speaker 1: got in bed with local officials, started doling out a
7:59
Speaker 1: bunch of dough, and committed all of these crimes down
8:02
Speaker 1: in your territory. Yet somehow you still come out smelling
8:06
Speaker 1: like roses, meaning the Virgin Islands with a big, fat
8:09
Speaker 1: bank roll and looking for more. Pretty amazing if you
8:12
Speaker 1: ask me. Internal emails and memos filed as exhibits this
8:17
Speaker 1: week revealed that the bank executives were concerned about the
8:20
Speaker 1: financial institution's relationship with Epstein, dating to two thousand and six.
8:25
Speaker 1: In October two thousand and six, the bank's Rapid Response
8:29
Speaker 1: Team issued a memo saying Epstein had banking asset and
8:33
Speaker 1: credit accounts with balances that amounted to thirty two million dollars.
8:39
Speaker 1: The memo also said cash withdrawals were routinely made in
8:43
Speaker 1: sums of forty thousand to eighty thousand, multiple times a month,
8:47
Speaker 1: totaling over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars year to date.
8:51
Speaker 1: According to the document, no big deal there, I mean,
8:54
Speaker 1: it's not like you was structuring those transactions right.
8:57
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he was?
8:58
Speaker 1: And here I was thinking, at least according to JP Morgan,
9:02
Speaker 1: that they had no idea what was going on, when
9:05
Speaker 1: that is demonstrably provable to be a lie. The memo
9:10
Speaker 1: said that after internal discussions with Jess Staley, Mary Airdos,
9:14
Speaker 1: Katherine Keating, John Duffy, and Mary Casey.
9:17
Speaker 2: It was decided that we will keep.
9:19
Speaker 1: Mister Epstein solely as a banking client and on a
9:23
Speaker 1: reactive client service basis, and that we will not proactively
9:27
Speaker 1: solicit new investment business from him. Another month later, and Borrowich,
9:32
Speaker 1: a JP Morgan Chase executive, emailed Staley with the subject
9:36
Speaker 1: line Epstein please call me. In the email, she said
9:40
Speaker 1: she had concerns on risk management with this client, and
9:44
Speaker 1: we have a bad track record internally on risk as
9:47
Speaker 1: you know. Is Jeffrey going to stay involved here? How
9:51
Speaker 1: are we managing risk here? Please call Borrowitch said in
9:55
Speaker 1: an email in twenty thirteen, Two bank directors emailed about
9:59
Speaker 1: the private bank risk unit, referring Epstein in two thousand
10:03
Speaker 1: and eight to its anti money laundering program because of
10:07
Speaker 1: excessive cash activity and media reports alleging his connection to
10:11
Speaker 1: sex trafficking. Epstein was marked as high risk at the time.
10:16
Speaker 1: That's all they did.
10:17
Speaker 2: Though.
10:17
Speaker 1: You can mark them whatever you want, but you have
10:19
Speaker 1: to take action. They did not take action. Remember That's
10:23
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. Another email exchange from twenty
10:27
Speaker 1: eleven indicates that the bank kept Epstein as a client
10:31
Speaker 1: due to Jess's personal relationship with them, even though other
10:34
Speaker 1: bank directors were not in favor of having retained them
10:38
Speaker 1: as a client. So they knew. JP Morgan knew, and
10:41
Speaker 1: they let Jess Daily do whatever he wanted. Remember, he
10:45
Speaker 1: was working for them at the time. So the buck
10:47
Speaker 1: stops at JP Morgan. One director in the same email
10:51
Speaker 1: correspondence reported having also looked into transactions of one of
10:55
Speaker 1: Epstein's assistants, which included lots of salon, lingerie shops, drug
11:00
Speaker 1: stores in New York, Palm Beach, and in Saint Thomas
11:04
Speaker 1: his places of residence, plus lots of video like Girls
11:09
Speaker 1: Gone Wild. There is no doubt that not only Jess
11:13
Speaker 1: Daly knew exactly what and who Jeffrey Epstein was, and
11:18
Speaker 1: so did JP Morgan in Chase. So the whole back
11:21
Speaker 1: and forth between JP Morgan and Jess Day is relatively laughable,
11:26
Speaker 1: and hopefully the court comes down on both of them
11:29
Speaker 1: like a ton of bricks. All right, folks, that's gonna
11:32
Speaker 1: do it for this one. All of the information that
11:34
Speaker 1: goes with the episode can be found in the description box.
11:38
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So,
11:44
Speaker 1: according to The New York Times, there were some provisions
11:48
Speaker 1: that were carved out inside of the survivors' compensation fund.
11:53
Speaker 1: That allows the survivors to go after people like Jess
11:56
Speaker 1: Daly and Leon Black. And that's exactly what at least
12:01
Speaker 1: one of the survivors is going to do. And that's
12:04
Speaker 1: according to a new article that's out in the New
12:07
Speaker 1: York Times. So let's dive into this article and let's
12:12
Speaker 1: see what's going on in the world of Jeffrey Epstein
12:16
Speaker 1: and his dirty ass scumbag friends. Today's article was published
12:21
Speaker 1: by The New York Times and the headline Epstein victim
12:25
Speaker 1: may pursue claims against two Wall Street executives. A carveout
12:30
Speaker 1: provision allows at least one sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey
12:34
Speaker 1: Epstein who settled with his estate, to pursue claims against
12:38
Speaker 1: Leon Black and James Staley. Other survivors may follow. This
12:44
Speaker 1: article was authored by Matthew Goldstein. At least one longtime
12:50
Speaker 1: sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey Epstein who received a monetary
12:54
Speaker 1: settlement from his estate, can also pursue separate claims against
12:59
Speaker 1: two powerful Wall Street executives who had ties to the
13:02
Speaker 1: convicted sex offender. According to two people briefed on the matter,
13:07
Speaker 1: and that's good, right. If there's other people who are
13:10
Speaker 1: liable here, they shouldn't be absolved of any sort of
13:14
Speaker 1: responsibility because Jeffrey Epstein's estate decided to pay out some money.
13:19
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. If I was abused by Leon Black and
13:23
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, both of those scumbags are paying up end
13:26
Speaker 1: the story, and that's the way it should be. Richard Kahn,
13:31
Speaker 1: an executive of mister Epstein's estate, testified in a deposition
13:35
Speaker 1: in May that the victim's settlement included a carve out
13:39
Speaker 1: provision involving Leon Black, a billionaire private equity investor.
13:43
Speaker 2: And James E.
13:45
Speaker 1: Staley, a former top executive at JP Morgan Chase and Barclay's.
13:51
Speaker 1: Said the people who were briefed on the deposition and
13:54
Speaker 1: spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not
13:57
Speaker 1: authorized to publicly discuss the matter, Well, we had not
14:01
Speaker 1: heard that Richard Khan had been deposed, So that's a
14:04
Speaker 1: good thing. Getting that guy under oath was a very
14:08
Speaker 1: very important matter to get handled. And I wonder if
14:13
Speaker 1: he perjured himself at all during that testimony. We know
14:16
Speaker 1: that Darren Endyke and Richard Kahan were key pieces of
14:20
Speaker 1: what Epstein had going on. They were around from the
14:23
Speaker 1: very beginning. In Dyke's name and signature is everywhere on
14:28
Speaker 1: documents as well as Cohn's. And then just listen to
14:31
Speaker 1: what the survivors had to say about these two dudes,
14:34
Speaker 1: and it's certainly a head scratcher how they ended up
14:36
Speaker 1: as the executors and not as defendants. The exceptions made
14:42
Speaker 1: for mister Black and mister Staley show how the two
14:45
Speaker 1: men continue to be dogged by their social and business
14:48
Speaker 1: dealings with mister Epstein four years after he killed himself
14:53
Speaker 1: in a federal jail allegedly mister Goldstein while awaiting trial
14:57
Speaker 1: on sex trafficking charges. You know what's so funny all
15:00
Speaker 1: of these people that are so gung ho to believe
15:03
Speaker 1: what the OIG wrote in that ridiculous report, but out
15:07
Speaker 1: of the other side of their mouth, they're criticizing this
15:10
Speaker 1: ruling or that ruling, and then they say, well, that
15:13
Speaker 1: was just a bad decision by the court or a
15:16
Speaker 1: bad decision by the Supreme Court. Well, how about a
15:19
Speaker 1: bad decision by the OIG. But that would run directly
15:23
Speaker 1: in the face of the narrative that they're trying to
15:25
Speaker 1: spin and that narrative is. Look, everybody's a conspiracy theorist,
15:30
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Epstein most certainly killed himself. How do we
15:34
Speaker 1: know that, Well, we're telling you that. Meanwhile, the OIG
15:37
Speaker 1: report did nothing, nothing, not one single thing. Just to
15:42
Speaker 1: be clear, Okay, you wanted an Italian, I'll give it
15:44
Speaker 1: to you an Italian too. It did ugats when it
15:47
Speaker 1: comes to furthering any sort of reliable narrative about what
15:52
Speaker 1: happened inside of that jail cell, and furthermore, what happened
15:56
Speaker 1: the first time around inside of the jail cell with
15:59
Speaker 1: Nicholas Tartak. You notice the New York Times and mister
16:03
Speaker 1: Goldstein here and the rest of the reporters that cover
16:07
Speaker 1: this case. I'm using air quotes. They never bring that
16:09
Speaker 1: part of it up. And the reason that they never
16:12
Speaker 1: bring up tartag Leoni and what happened in that jail
16:15
Speaker 1: cell is because it absolutely destroys the rest of the
16:18
Speaker 1: narrative moving forward. The arrangement could set a precedent for
16:23
Speaker 1: other victims of mister Epstein, potentially exposing mister Black and
16:27
Speaker 1: mister Staley to further scrutiny and the liability they deserve.
16:32
Speaker 1: All of it all the scrutiny, all the liability, and
16:35
Speaker 1: hopefully all of the repercussions that comes with it. She
16:40
Speaker 1: was a victim potentially to these individuals, mister Kahn said
16:44
Speaker 1: in the deposition. According to one of the people, mister
16:47
Speaker 1: Kahn said that mister Epstein's estate agreed to the carve
16:50
Speaker 1: out provision so that the unnamed woman could potentially sue
16:54
Speaker 1: for harms that she incurred. Well, as much as I
16:58
Speaker 1: hate Endike and Khan, I'm glad to see that the
17:01
Speaker 1: estate acquiesced to.
17:03
Speaker 2: This portion of it.
17:04
Speaker 1: That way, the woman here doesn't just have to say,
17:08
Speaker 1: you know what, I got a payment from Epstein's estate,
17:11
Speaker 1: so everybody else is off the hook. Screw that. Enough
17:14
Speaker 1: of that nonsense. Everybody who was involved has to be
17:18
Speaker 1: brought in, prosecuted if they've done something criminal, and arrested.
17:23
Speaker 1: I don't understand what the hold up is here and
17:25
Speaker 1: what the problem is. In the deposition, mister Kahn, who
17:30
Speaker 1: was mister Epstein's longtime accountant, said at least one other
17:33
Speaker 1: victim had sought a similar carve out from the estate.
17:36
Speaker 1: According to the person, he suggested in testimony, without providing details,
17:42
Speaker 1: the other victims might have asked for the provision with
17:45
Speaker 1: regard to other men, The person said it was unclear
17:49
Speaker 1: from mister Kahn's deposition whether either of the women had
17:52
Speaker 1: pursued claims against mister Black or mister Staley, or what
17:57
Speaker 1: their specific claims might be. The people briefed on the
18:00
Speaker 1: deposition said, well, we know what the claims are. We
18:04
Speaker 1: know what women are saying about Leon Black and Jeff Staley,
18:08
Speaker 1: and then we have Jeff Staley's own emails that are
18:12
Speaker 1: more than suspect, talking about Snow White, Beauty and the Beast.
18:17
Speaker 1: Come on, do you really think they were talking about
18:19
Speaker 1: Disney movies or were they talking about something a lot
18:23
Speaker 1: more sinister. In settling claims with victims, mister Epstein's estate
18:27
Speaker 1: had sought to limit the potential for litigation against anyone
18:31
Speaker 1: with ties to mister Epstein, something that should have never
18:34
Speaker 1: been allowed by the way, that should have never been
18:37
Speaker 1: allowed by the government. But you know, the USVII and
18:40
Speaker 1: the government down there, they care so much about the victims, right,
18:44
Speaker 1: give me a break as there's stuffing money in their
18:46
Speaker 1: pockets like Scrooge McDuck. Both mister Black, co founder of
18:50
Speaker 1: the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, and mister Staley
18:54
Speaker 1: had been frequent visitors to mister Epstein's Manhattan residence. Mister
18:59
Speaker 1: Black paid mister Astein one hundred and fifty eight million
19:02
Speaker 1: dollars for tax and estate planning services, outsize payments that
19:06
Speaker 1: are now drawing scrutiny from the Senate Finance Committee. Oh,
19:10
Speaker 1: they finally got around to it. Huh, that's nice of them.
19:14
Speaker 1: Why they're too busy playing political fuck the football before? Oh,
19:18
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they were doing. The whole lot of
19:21
Speaker 1: them discussed me. By the way, all of our elected officials,
19:24
Speaker 1: I don't look at any of them and say to myself, Man,
19:27
Speaker 1: this is somebody I can trust, This is somebody that's
19:30
Speaker 1: gonna do the right thing. And why do I take
19:32
Speaker 1: such a cynical outlook when it comes to our politicians. Well,
19:36
Speaker 1: take a look at the way they behave, take a
19:38
Speaker 1: look at all of this shit going on, all of
19:41
Speaker 1: the things that are wrong in this country, and they
19:43
Speaker 1: can't even figure it out. They can't come together, they
19:46
Speaker 1: can't work together. Everything's a big argument. Everything has to
19:50
Speaker 1: be absolutely politicized. That way, they can continue to divide
19:54
Speaker 1: me and you so they can continue to do what
19:57
Speaker 1: they want to do without any scrutiny. That's the pla.
20:00
Speaker 1: I can't believe more people don't see it. But that's
20:02
Speaker 1: what they've been doing forever, and that's what they continue
20:05
Speaker 1: to do. Do you really think that these politicians that
20:08
Speaker 1: are out there talking all this trash about the other
20:11
Speaker 1: politicians really mean that it's like wrestling. Oh sure, they
20:15
Speaker 1: hate each other when the cameras are on, but when
20:18
Speaker 1: the camera goes off, they all work together again to
20:20
Speaker 1: continue to plunder your future and your wealth. Meanwhile everybody
20:24
Speaker 1: stands on the sidelines and cheers them on. Susan Estrich,
20:28
Speaker 1: a lawyer for mister Black, said, the leak of mister
20:31
Speaker 1: Kahn's deposition testimony is baseless character assassination, involving anonymous women
20:37
Speaker 1: who have never brought a claim against mister Black. So
20:40
Speaker 1: you know that this is a heavy claim. If Susan
20:43
Speaker 1: Estrich is trying to get out in front of it
20:45
Speaker 1: the way she is, she knows that this is going
20:47
Speaker 1: to have blowback, and she knows that the writing is
20:50
Speaker 1: on the wall for Leon Black to now face other
20:54
Speaker 1: civil suits. Sarry Boyd were prohibited by lack team plus
20:57
Speaker 1: terms and conditions applag see website for details. Lawyers from
21:01
Speaker 1: mister Staley did not respond to a request for a comment.
21:04
Speaker 1: A lawyer for mister Kahn declined to comment. The deposition
21:08
Speaker 1: from mister Kahn was in connection with a class action
21:11
Speaker 1: lawsuit filed last year by mister Epstein's survivors against J. P.
21:16
Speaker 1: Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, and
21:20
Speaker 1: a related lawsuit against the bank by the US Virgin Islands.
21:25
Speaker 1: The lawsuits contend that the bank turned a blind eye
21:28
Speaker 1: to mister Epstein's trafficking of teenage girls and young women
21:32
Speaker 1: to and from his residences in the Virgin Islands, Manhattan, Florida,
21:36
Speaker 1: and New Mexico because he was a wealthy client with
21:40
Speaker 1: famous and powerful friends. Don't even get me started on
21:44
Speaker 1: New Mexico. What occurred down in New Mexico as far
21:48
Speaker 1: as an investigation, is straight up embarrassing and everybody involved
21:53
Speaker 1: down there, Baldaris and everybody else should hang their heads
21:56
Speaker 1: in shame for the rest of their lives. In June,
22:00
Speaker 1: JP Morgan agreed to pay two hundred and ninety million
22:03
Speaker 1: dollars to settle the class action lawsuit, but it continues
22:06
Speaker 1: to contest. The suit by the Virgin Islands, which seeks
22:09
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety million and damages. JP Morgan is
22:14
Speaker 1: also suing mister Staley in connection with that suit, claiming
22:17
Speaker 1: he could be liable for damages. So basically, what we
22:21
Speaker 1: have here are a bunch of monkeys banging a football.
22:23
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. Okay, lawsuits coming from every side.
22:27
Speaker 1: This one's liable, that one's liable. Breaking news, You bunch
22:31
Speaker 1: of dicks, You're all liable. In a court filing on Monday,
22:36
Speaker 1: JP Morgan said it continued to do business with mister
22:39
Speaker 1: Abstein because it relied on mister Staley's representations that mister
22:43
Speaker 1: Abstein had turned the page on his past conduct. So
22:48
Speaker 1: his past conduct he was fixed from that. He was
22:51
Speaker 1: no longer a molestor, he was no longer a child abuser.
22:55
Speaker 1: We all know that people that do what Epstein did,
22:57
Speaker 1: don't stop.
22:58
Speaker 2: What are you even talking?
23:00
Speaker 1: He turned the page. It's not like this guy didn't
23:03
Speaker 1: pay his taxes and got nailed for that. We can
23:06
Speaker 1: all forgive that, right Ah, Yeah, the guy didn't want
23:08
Speaker 1: to pay his taxes. Shitty, but I get it. Hurting children,
23:13
Speaker 1: trafficking women, yeah, sorry, not the same thing. An internal
23:18
Speaker 1: review of mister Staley's company Emails conducted by JP Morgan
23:23
Speaker 1: following mister Epstein's twenty nineteen arrest found that the two
23:26
Speaker 1: men had shared sexually suggestive emails. Lawyers from mister Staley
23:31
Speaker 1: in court papers have said he did nothing wrong and
23:35
Speaker 1: he was unaware of any sex trafficking by mister Epstein.
23:38
Speaker 1: He had no idea, folks, none of them knew anything.
23:41
Speaker 1: They had no idea. In twenty twenty one, mister Black
23:46
Speaker 1: resigned as chairman and chief executive of Apollo over his
23:51
Speaker 1: ties to mister Epstein. This year, he quietly agreed to
23:54
Speaker 1: pay sixty two and a half million dollars to the
23:57
Speaker 1: Virgin Islands to head off a potential lawsuit that would
24:00
Speaker 1: have claimed his large payments to mister Epstein helped finance
24:04
Speaker 1: the sex trafficking operation in the US territory. And you
24:08
Speaker 1: see why they don't use rico right because if they did,
24:11
Speaker 1: they'd have to arrest Leon Black. They'd have to arrest
24:14
Speaker 1: all of these scumbags that hold the keys to the kingdom.
24:17
Speaker 1: And when I say the keys to the kingdom, I
24:19
Speaker 1: mean the financial sector. Who do you think puts your
24:22
Speaker 1: favorite politicians in office? You think it's you. You think
24:27
Speaker 1: it's all those ballots that were sent in.
24:29
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
24:30
Speaker 1: It's these people that are pulling the strings of their puppets.
24:34
Speaker 1: They're the puppeteers, people like Leon Black. Okay, so keep
24:38
Speaker 1: that in mind when you're arguing about your favorite politicians.
24:42
Speaker 1: Mister Black is also being sued by two other women
24:45
Speaker 1: who say they were raped by him roughly two decades
24:48
Speaker 1: ago at mister Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Miss Estrich called those
24:53
Speaker 1: allegations false and frivolous. Lawyers from mister Epstein's survivors have
24:58
Speaker 1: estimated that He's second actually abused hundreds of teenage girls
25:02
Speaker 1: and young women over two decades. More than one hundred
25:06
Speaker 1: and twenty five women have received one hundred and fifty
25:09
Speaker 1: three million dollars in settlement payments from either a restitution
25:13
Speaker 1: fund set up by the estate or in deals negotiated
25:17
Speaker 1: directly by the estate, as was the case with the
25:21
Speaker 1: two women mister Kahn was asked about during his deposition.
25:25
Speaker 1: All right, so, as you can see here, Leon Black
25:28
Speaker 1: and Jess Staley certainly aren't out of the woods when
25:31
Speaker 1: it comes to getting sued. Survivors who have taken money
25:35
Speaker 1: from the Survivor's fund. Well, they're still going to be
25:39
Speaker 1: able to sue Jess Staley and Leon Black, according to
25:42
Speaker 1: the deposition of Richard Kahn. And that's a big development
25:46
Speaker 1: because now that means that they're personally liable for their bullshit.
25:51
Speaker 1: But unfortunately it's not going to matter because at the
25:54
Speaker 1: end of the day, they're just going to break out
25:56
Speaker 1: their checkbook and pay their way out of whatever trouble
26:00
Speaker 1: they find themselves in. And that's what happens when everything's
26:03
Speaker 1: civil and nothing is criminal. So here we are talking
26:07
Speaker 1: about a sec O case that should have been a
26:09
Speaker 1: RICO case, and all of Jeffrey Epstein's pals and fellow
26:13
Speaker 1: travelers are doing nothing more than pulling out their checkbook
26:16
Speaker 1: and buying their way out of trouble, while the rest
26:19
Speaker 1: of us are left aghast wondering if any real justice
26:23
Speaker 1: is ever going to arrive. All right, folks, that's gonna
26:26
Speaker 1: wrap it up for this one. All of the information
26:28
Speaker 1: that goes with this episode can be found in the
26:31
Speaker 1: description box. What's up everyone, and welcome back to the
26:35
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. One of the more ridiculous claims in the
26:40
Speaker 1: new legal filings by Prince Andrew is him actually trying
26:45
Speaker 1: to tell us that him and Glaine Maxwell weren't homies.
26:49
Speaker 1: It is one of the most absurd claims I've heard
26:52
Speaker 1: in quite some time, and folks, we've heard them all
26:56
Speaker 1: since we've been following this case. But Prince Andrew is
27:00
Speaker 1: adamant in these court filings that him and Glean Maxwell,
27:03
Speaker 1: you know, they were just casual friends, you know, pass
27:06
Speaker 1: you by in the bar, give you a nod of
27:08
Speaker 1: the head as you're going to get a pint and
27:10
Speaker 1: keep it moving type friends.
27:11
Speaker 2: I guess.
27:12
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the facts tell a completely different story. Tonight, we're
27:17
Speaker 1: going to talk about an article from The Mirror that
27:20
Speaker 1: points to nine different times Gleann Maxwell and Prince Andrew
27:24
Speaker 1: we're looking pretty chummy. But we're also going to discuss
27:28
Speaker 1: an article from the New York Post about Jess Staley
27:32
Speaker 1: before we even dive in about Prince Andrew and his
27:35
Speaker 1: cozy relationship with Glen Maxwell. Now, Jess Staley is well,
27:43
Speaker 1: I guess I should say was one of the most
27:45
Speaker 1: powerful men in the financial world. This dude was the
27:49
Speaker 1: gatekeeper over at JP Morgan for a very very long time.
27:56
Speaker 1: He ran the investment banking division over at JP Morgan,
27:59
Speaker 1: and that is where all of the big shots come,
28:02
Speaker 1: you know, to do their wieling and dealing with their money.
28:06
Speaker 1: They come in and you know, these guys manage the
28:08
Speaker 1: money for them, make transactions whatever it may be. This
28:12
Speaker 1: is what the division is there for. And Jess Staley
28:16
Speaker 1: was the guy who was the big shot over there,
28:19
Speaker 1: mister head honcho, mister dud in charge, and him and
28:23
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein.
28:24
Speaker 2: Were really close.
28:25
Speaker 1: Another one of those relationships that doesn't get the kind
28:29
Speaker 1: of spotlight that it deserves, and it certainly does deserve
28:33
Speaker 1: a whole lot of spotlight, just like the situation with
28:35
Speaker 1: Leon Black. When you have somebody like Jeffrey Epstein and
28:39
Speaker 1: he has access to movers and shakers like this in
28:42
Speaker 1: the financial world, what are we supposed to think when
28:46
Speaker 1: these people are lobbying for him, when these people are
28:49
Speaker 1: giving them one hundred and fifty eight million dollars for
28:52
Speaker 1: I'm using air quotes right now, folks, advice, What are
28:55
Speaker 1: we supposed to think that it's all on the up
28:58
Speaker 1: and up, that these guys are just you know, chums
29:01
Speaker 1: and they're hanging out having a chat like the rest
29:03
Speaker 1: of us. Over you know, Crispy taco night. Nobody's buying it.
29:08
Speaker 1: Nobody believes that bs. And I'm not gonna sit here
29:11
Speaker 1: and tell you that. You know, there's a room full
29:14
Speaker 1: of six people who are sitting around, you know, controlling
29:17
Speaker 1: the world or anything like that.
29:18
Speaker 2: I'll leave that to other people.
29:20
Speaker 1: That's out of my lane. But what I will tell
29:23
Speaker 1: you is this, people like Jess Staley, people like Leon Black,
29:27
Speaker 1: those people really hold the keys. If you're in control
29:30
Speaker 1: of the financial world, if you're the in control of
29:33
Speaker 1: the way you know the money is moving through the
29:37
Speaker 1: banking system, that would give you a lot of power,
29:41
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. And when you have some of the biggest
29:43
Speaker 1: people in the world in this industry hanging out with
29:50
Speaker 1: Epstein and facilitating his financial malfeasance, what are we supposed
29:54
Speaker 1: to say? Are we just supposed to just say forget it,
29:57
Speaker 1: turn our heads and say, ah, no big deal.
30:00
Speaker 2: Usually that's what we would do.
30:01
Speaker 1: Right, if it was just the usual stealing and evading
30:04
Speaker 1: taxes and all of that jazz, shrug our shoulders and
30:06
Speaker 1: move on.
30:07
Speaker 2: We have bigger problems.
30:08
Speaker 1: All of us got to feed our families, and we
30:11
Speaker 1: got to continue to pay the poor people's tax right,
30:13
Speaker 1: But they messed up. They're really messed up. When they
30:16
Speaker 1: thought that they were going to get over on us
30:18
Speaker 1: with this one, when they thought that the Jeffrey Epstein
30:21
Speaker 1: stuff was just gonna blow over and everybody was gonna
30:23
Speaker 1: forget about it. That's not the case. Nobody's forgetting about it.
30:29
Speaker 1: People want answers, and people like this who were connected
30:32
Speaker 1: to Epstein, who were lobbying for him at a huge
30:37
Speaker 1: firm like JP Morgan should be held to account. And
30:40
Speaker 1: I know he lost his job at Barclays, right, that's
30:43
Speaker 1: a good first step. But why haven't we had a
30:46
Speaker 1: real look into the financials here? You mean to tell
30:49
Speaker 1: me all of the financial transactions Epstein was moving through
30:53
Speaker 1: this bank. We're on the up and up. We already
30:55
Speaker 1: know that's not the case. We've already seen the finds
30:58
Speaker 1: that these banks have got slapped with for their malfeasance,
31:02
Speaker 1: for not respecting the fins in process. But none of
31:07
Speaker 1: these bankers, the men in charge, the women in charge,
31:10
Speaker 1: the people at the top, When do any of them
31:12
Speaker 1: get held accountable. Nobody goes to prison. None of these
31:16
Speaker 1: people ever go to prison. And that's because they're the
31:19
Speaker 1: ones that are holding the bag. And we all know
31:23
Speaker 1: what happens when a president gets elected in America, Inevitably
31:27
Speaker 1: his whole entire cabinet, transition staff, all of it is
31:31
Speaker 1: filled with people from the financial sector, and then you
31:34
Speaker 1: wonder why the wheel just continues to go around and round.
31:39
Speaker 1: All right, So we're going to talk about this article
31:41
Speaker 1: real quick from the New York Post and Jess Staley.
31:44
Speaker 1: It's a relatively short article. That's why we're doing it
31:47
Speaker 1: at the top end here of this episode and not
31:50
Speaker 1: doing an episode for this article alone. I don't think
31:53
Speaker 1: there's any point in doing an eleven minute episode, so
31:56
Speaker 1: we'll just tack it on here and then.
31:58
Speaker 2: We'll add the other article here to the back end.
32:02
Speaker 1: This article was authored by Lydia moynihan and it was
32:08
Speaker 1: posted in the New York Post headline OUs did Barclay CEO?
32:13
Speaker 1: Jess Daley reportedly back Depstein at JP Morgan. I mean
32:18
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. JP Morgan's like this gigantic house, you know,
32:22
Speaker 1: big time financial institution, and this is the sort of
32:27
Speaker 1: stuff they're really getting up to when all of the
32:30
Speaker 1: nonsense and you know, the curtains are pulled back and
32:34
Speaker 1: you peel their face off when they're talking about.
32:36
Speaker 2: How woke they are or whatever.
32:38
Speaker 1: Really what they're doing is they're trying to refocus all
32:42
Speaker 1: of our energy and all of our oh you know, rage,
32:46
Speaker 1: if you will, at each other as opposed to them.
32:50
Speaker 1: And they got a good glimpse of what was going
32:52
Speaker 1: on during Occupy Wall Street, and they understood that there
32:56
Speaker 1: was a ground swell coming against them, so they changed
32:59
Speaker 1: their tactics in corporate America, right, and places like JP
33:03
Speaker 1: Morgan and these banking institutions, let's put on a friendlier face.
33:07
Speaker 1: But just because they say that that's what they are,
33:10
Speaker 1: just because they say that they're, you know, hipped to
33:12
Speaker 1: the times, we all know.
33:13
Speaker 2: That BS walks right.
33:17
Speaker 1: It's a lot of BS from these companies because when
33:20
Speaker 1: you look at the way they conduct business, it's the
33:23
Speaker 1: same old or even worse than usual. Recently, oust did
33:29
Speaker 1: Barclay CEO Jess Staley went to bat for convicted sex
33:32
Speaker 1: offender Jeffrey Epstein when he ran the investment banking division
33:36
Speaker 1: at JP Morgan. According to a report, JP Morgan was
33:40
Speaker 1: examining whether to boot Epstein as a client because of
33:43
Speaker 1: his thirteen month prison sentence tied to soliciting sex from
33:46
Speaker 1: a minor, meaning having sex with an underage girl. Soliciting
33:50
Speaker 1: sex from a minor. What an absolutely ridiculous charge. An
33:54
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous charge. There's no such thing as soliciting sex
33:58
Speaker 1: from a minor. You're committing you know, if under a
34:03
Speaker 1: certain age, you're committing a rape, statutory rape at the
34:07
Speaker 1: very least. But Staley, who ran the Giant's investment bank,
34:16
Speaker 1: argue that Epstein had paid his debt to society and
34:19
Speaker 1: should remain a client. According to the report Wednesday in
34:22
Speaker 1: the Financial Times, I mean, yeah, he really paid his
34:24
Speaker 1: debt to society.
34:25
Speaker 2: Huh.
34:25
Speaker 1: Folks had to check into the jail for a couple
34:28
Speaker 1: hours a day, was able to run around, still conduct business,
34:31
Speaker 1: go to his office and according to some survivors, continue
34:35
Speaker 1: to abuse people while there was a riff on duty.
34:37
Speaker 1: But na, nothing was a miss down there in Palm
34:40
Speaker 1: Beach either. I mean, really, he paid his debt to society.
34:43
Speaker 2: Huh.
34:44
Speaker 1: There's not enough punishment on this planet for this dude
34:48
Speaker 1: to repay his debt to society and forget that his
34:52
Speaker 1: debt to these survivors. Staley's efforts came after Epstein was
34:58
Speaker 1: convicted in two thousand and eight. According to the ft
35:01
Speaker 1: JP Morgan eventually severed its relationship with Epstein in twenty
35:05
Speaker 1: and thirteen, the same year Staley departed the JPM for
35:10
Speaker 1: a new job at the hedge fund at a hedge fund,
35:12
Speaker 1: before rising to run Barclays in twenty and fifteen. Now,
35:18
Speaker 1: I guess it's just another coincidence, right, That's what people
35:21
Speaker 1: who want to That's what they'll tell you. Oh, it's
35:22
Speaker 1: just another coincidence. Me, I don't know what to call it. Sure,
35:27
Speaker 1: are a lot of coincidences. In this case, camera's not
35:29
Speaker 1: pointing at the jail cell. He happens to leave in
35:32
Speaker 1: twenty and thirteen, right when the relationship with Epstein ends.
35:35
Speaker 1: You know, just a coincidence, I guess, folks. But really
35:38
Speaker 1: what's going on here is you see the correlation, the
35:42
Speaker 1: relationship with Epstein and Jess Staley. It was a tight
35:46
Speaker 1: one and Staley was a huge, huge deal when it
35:49
Speaker 1: comes to making the money move. Staley's support for Epstein
35:54
Speaker 1: at JP Morgan underscores his long standing ties to the
35:58
Speaker 1: disgraced financier pedophile and how he advocated on Epstein's behalf
36:02
Speaker 1: well before it resulted in Staley's exit from Barclay's late
36:06
Speaker 1: last year. In November, report surface that Staley and Epstein
36:10
Speaker 1: had exchanged around twelve hundred emails during Staley's thirty year
36:13
Speaker 1: tenure at JP Morgan. Some emails revealed questionable and unexplained
36:18
Speaker 1: phrases like snow white, according to the FT, and we
36:21
Speaker 1: talked about this too, snow white. I mean, look, you
36:25
Speaker 1: can delve into a lot of different things when you're
36:28
Speaker 1: talking about code words and find yourself down a lot
36:31
Speaker 1: of rabbit holes. But they're obviously using some kind of
36:34
Speaker 1: code here.
36:35
Speaker 2: Okay.
36:36
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not one of the wind talkers. I'm not
36:38
Speaker 1: going to sit here and tell you, oh I've I
36:40
Speaker 1: got my little decoder ring out of the cheerio box
36:42
Speaker 1: and I figured it all out. But they're obviously up
36:45
Speaker 1: to something. Staley stepped down from Barclays in November after
36:49
Speaker 1: he reviewed initial findings from a probe by UK regulators
36:53
Speaker 1: into whether he had mischaracterized his relationship with Epstein as
36:57
Speaker 1: purely professional. According to the FT, Staley is contesting the findings.
37:02
Speaker 1: JP Morgan declined to comment to the FT. A spokesman
37:06
Speaker 1: for Staley also declined to comment. Shocking right, and they'll
37:10
Speaker 1: get away with it. Nobody will hand these people no way,
37:12
Speaker 1: they're too busy covering the Stormy Daniels case. Staley has
37:18
Speaker 1: stated his relationship with Epstein fizzled following the banker's departure
37:21
Speaker 1: from JP Morgan. And that's an ongoing theme too, right, Oh,
37:25
Speaker 1: our relationship fizzled, Our relationship ended, shocking. But even after
37:30
Speaker 1: he left the bank, helmed by Jamie Diamond, he visited
37:33
Speaker 1: Epstein at his private island in the Caribbean, Little Saint James,
37:37
Speaker 1: according to reports. And I you know, Jamie Diamond will
37:39
Speaker 1: never get called on the carpet for this either.
37:42
Speaker 2: Never. He's you know, one of the golden boys.
37:45
Speaker 1: For all of the political class. Remember, folks, who's holding
37:48
Speaker 1: the bag here?
37:49
Speaker 2: It ain't you?
37:49
Speaker 1: Well you think your one hundred two hundred dollars donation
37:52
Speaker 1: to insert politician here is moving the needle. They're not
37:55
Speaker 1: accepting your call when you call their office, are they?
37:58
Speaker 1: You're getting a staffer? You think Jamie Diamond gets a
38:01
Speaker 1: staffer if he calls the office of whatever politician he's
38:05
Speaker 1: looking to talk to. Staley worked at Blue Mountain Capital
38:09
Speaker 1: from twenty and thirteen to twenty and fifteen before nabbing
38:13
Speaker 1: the top job at Barclays in twenty and fifteen. Meanwhile,
38:17
Speaker 1: Epstein began working with Deutsche Bank in twenty and thirteen,
38:21
Speaker 1: according to the FT, after being cut off by JP
38:24
Speaker 1: Morgan following Staley's departure from JP Morgan. Epstein died in
38:28
Speaker 1: twenty and nineteen in prison as he awaited trial on
38:32
Speaker 1: charges he's sex trafficked miners. Now, Deutsche Bank is just
38:36
Speaker 1: a den of scum and villainy, and they've been slapped
38:39
Speaker 1: with so many fines that it's not even funny. And
38:42
Speaker 1: now my question is how many people have they hit
38:45
Speaker 1: with the poor people tax? And what I mean by
38:48
Speaker 1: the poor people tax is the inflated rates of borrowing
38:53
Speaker 1: the finance rates. How many people have they absolutely hammered
38:58
Speaker 1: with a twenty percent rate on a car for a
39:00
Speaker 1: piece of garbage car that's hardly gonna last. These people
39:05
Speaker 1: are just gross. Honestly, at this level, when we're talking
39:08
Speaker 1: about this level of banker and the way they conduct themselves,
39:11
Speaker 1: you think they care about the survivors or that Jeffrey
39:14
Speaker 1: Epstein was a convicted sex offender. No way, he brought
39:18
Speaker 1: more money to their pockets, more prestige, opened some more doors,
39:22
Speaker 1: had some more relationships built for them, and like I
39:26
Speaker 1: always say, with people like this, the means always justifies
39:30
Speaker 1: the ends, and to the rest of us, we look
39:32
Speaker 1: around and we just shake our heads, like, really, one's
39:34
Speaker 1: enough enough. Don't you people have enough money? Don't you
39:37
Speaker 1: have enough power? But for them the answer is always no. Now,
39:42
Speaker 1: Jess Daley is somebody I've been talking about for a
39:45
Speaker 1: long time, and before the pandemic, I said that he
39:48
Speaker 1: was in big trouble back then, and it took a
39:51
Speaker 1: little while. Obviously Barclays was trying to write the ship,
39:55
Speaker 1: if you will, during the pandemic and didn't want to
39:58
Speaker 1: upset the apple cart. But the writing was on the wall.
40:02
Speaker 1: And it's no shock to me that he's out, especially
40:04
Speaker 1: considering we know how much deeper his relationship with Epstein
40:07
Speaker 1: went then they even let on. So that's where we're
40:11
Speaker 1: at with Jess Staley and the situation he finds himself
40:14
Speaker 1: in currently. Now onto our next article from The Mirror.
40:21
Speaker 1: This article was authored by Alana Kindred headline nine times,
40:26
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew and Glainne Maxwell looked like good pals as
40:30
Speaker 1: he denies closeness. Now, we talked about this a little
40:34
Speaker 1: bit earlier. What a ridiculous claim, How are you gonna
40:36
Speaker 1: say to anybody that you and Ghlainne Maxwell weren't close.
40:40
Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous that his lawyers would even add this.
40:44
Speaker 1: I just don't even know what to say about it, honestly,
40:47
Speaker 1: Prince strongly as excuse me, Prince Andrew is strongly denied
40:50
Speaker 1: he was close friends with now convicted sex trafficker Glainne Maxwell.
40:55
Speaker 1: At least they got it right and called her a
40:56
Speaker 1: convicted sex trafficker here, that's a good start. The Duke
40:59
Speaker 1: of York reported attempt to distance himself from Maxwell comes
41:03
Speaker 1: as he has demanded a trial by combat, I mean
41:05
Speaker 1: a trial by Jerry, denying to a New York court
41:08
Speaker 1: a catalog of sex abuse allegations brought by his accuser,
41:12
Speaker 1: Virginia Roberts. So obviously that was the first salvo for
41:18
Speaker 1: him answering these accusations and giving us this ridiculousness that
41:22
Speaker 1: we're talking about still tonight. On December twenty ninth, Maxwell sixty,
41:27
Speaker 1: was found guilty of offenses relating to her work as
41:30
Speaker 1: a fixer for the Duke's associate Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted
41:33
Speaker 1: pedophile and billionaire. She faces up to sixty five years
41:37
Speaker 1: in prison. So a couple things. Duke's associate Jeffrey Epstein.
41:42
Speaker 1: There were both of the Duke's associates, okay, and I
41:45
Speaker 1: would say that he was probably closer to GLEAINN. Maxwell
41:47
Speaker 1: than he was to Epstein. Even let's remember Glaiinne Maxwell
41:50
Speaker 1: was the gatekeeper to the Miss Roberts claims that Epstein
41:57
Speaker 1: and Maxwell made her have sex with the Duke three
41:59
Speaker 1: times when she was seventeen, including once in London. Prince Andrew,
42:03
Speaker 1: who has always strongly denied the allegations, but up until
42:07
Speaker 1: now it was a very generic version of denial. Right, Well,
42:11
Speaker 1: he dropped his formal denial, and I guess you can
42:14
Speaker 1: see why he kept a generic for so long, because
42:17
Speaker 1: he has nothing to go on. In an eleven page
42:20
Speaker 1: response to Miss Roberts lawsuit yesterday, Andrew denied wrongdoing, but
42:25
Speaker 1: he did say in this document that he met Epstein
42:28
Speaker 1: in or around nineteen ninety nine. The Prince refuted her
42:32
Speaker 1: major claims while admitting to befriending Epstein, but denied he
42:37
Speaker 1: was ever a close pal of British socialite Maxwell. Trafficker Maxwell,
42:41
Speaker 1: you mean and again, absolutely ridiculous, ludicrous, moronic, stupid, gaslighting whatever,
42:49
Speaker 1: you want to call it, it's all of that, because
42:51
Speaker 1: we know it's not the case. We've seen the pictures.
42:55
Speaker 1: The Duke sixty one said it was not true and
42:58
Speaker 1: he was a free that it was not true that
43:00
Speaker 1: he was a frequent guest of Epstein's various homes around
43:03
Speaker 1: the world, including New York City, where he's sexually abused
43:06
Speaker 1: Virginia Roberts at Epstein and Maxwell's invitation when she was
43:10
Speaker 1: a minor. Andrew's strenuous denials of not being close with
43:14
Speaker 1: Maxwell comes years after the pair have been photographed together
43:18
Speaker 1: on multiple occasions around the world. I mean yeah, around
43:22
Speaker 1: the world. Everywhere you can imagine. These two have been
43:25
Speaker 1: photographed together. They had a long history together, folks. And
43:29
Speaker 1: you don't have access to the palace the way she did,
43:32
Speaker 1: or to the property of the way she did, if
43:34
Speaker 1: you're not close to somebody. Epstein and Maxwell at Balmoral.
43:42
Speaker 2: The photo of.
43:42
Speaker 1: Epstein and Maxwell sitting in the Queen's log cabin in
43:45
Speaker 1: glenn Beg, Balmoral was taken in the late summer or
43:48
Speaker 1: early autumn of nineteen ninety nine. So there's one for you.
43:51
Speaker 1: You know, you got the picture of these two at
43:53
Speaker 1: Ballymoral certainly not a good look for them. The next instant,
44:00
Speaker 1: Andrew Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Epstein and mar A Lago.
44:04
Speaker 1: February two thousand, Andrew was photographed with Donald Trump and
44:07
Speaker 1: his wife Malania Trump. In the background, you see Epstein
44:10
Speaker 1: looking directly at the camera and Maxwell's face is scene
44:13
Speaker 1: peering into the frame on the right hand side. I mean,
44:16
Speaker 1: we all know that these people were all paling around together.
44:19
Speaker 1: It's not even a debate at this point. Now we
44:24
Speaker 1: don't know exactly the specific roles of every single person involved,
44:30
Speaker 1: but we do know anyone that was hanging out with
44:33
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein knew what he was about, knew that he
44:37
Speaker 1: was not a normal guy. And if you were hanging
44:39
Speaker 1: out with him after the first conviction, you knew he
44:41
Speaker 1: was a convicted sex offender. Andrew and Maxwell at Ascot.
44:46
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew and Maxwell attended the Royal Ascot in June
44:49
Speaker 1: two thousand. They were photographed with Epstein, another one of
44:52
Speaker 1: the Duke's former girlfriends, Carolyn Neville and her husband Edward Stanley,
44:57
Speaker 1: Andrew and Maxwell leaving the wedding of a former girlfriend
45:00
Speaker 1: September two thousand. The Duke attended the wedding of his
45:03
Speaker 1: former girlfriend or really a cecial with Maxwell. The pair
45:06
Speaker 1: arrived together but walked in separately, according to reports at
45:10
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, look, all of these different examples
45:14
Speaker 1: are just more evidence of the BS he was trying
45:18
Speaker 1: to run on us. The next one Andrew and Maxwell
45:21
Speaker 1: partying at a Halloween party. The pair were photographed together
45:25
Speaker 1: at supermodel Heidi Klum's Halloween party in October of two thousand.
45:29
Speaker 1: Now remember how close they were at this point in time.
45:32
Speaker 1: And now Andrew will tell you, oh, well, we weren't close.
45:34
Speaker 1: So what are you doing at the Hookers in the
45:38
Speaker 1: Pimps and Hose party, Hookers and Pimps theme bash at
45:40
Speaker 1: the Hudson Hotel, Because that's what you were doing at
45:43
Speaker 1: the Halloween party with at Howdi Klum's Halloween party. So
45:48
Speaker 1: you're there with Maxwell, but you're not close, you don't
45:50
Speaker 1: know her. You just go to hookers and Pimps party,
45:53
Speaker 1: Pimps and hose party. I mean, when I worked in
45:57
Speaker 1: the joint here in Las Vegas, those parties were absolutely
46:01
Speaker 1: insane types of parties invited on a shooting weekend at Sandringham.
46:08
Speaker 1: Photos from December two thousand have shown Maxwell and Epstein
46:11
Speaker 1: on a pheasant shoot with Andrew. They spent the weekend
46:14
Speaker 1: in Norfolk at the Sandringham estate. Andrew spoke to the
46:17
Speaker 1: BBC Newsnight in twenty nineteen about his links to Epstein
46:21
Speaker 1: and when he was asked about that weekend, he said,
46:23
Speaker 1: it was a straightforward shooting weekend. Whatever that means. Anyone
46:27
Speaker 1: want to explain to the rest of us what that
46:28
Speaker 1: means a straight forward shooting weekend. What you have bent
46:31
Speaker 1: shooting weekends, crooked shooting weekends. What is a straightforward shooting weekend?
46:37
Speaker 1: Andrew photographed with Roberts and Maxwell in London. Now we
46:41
Speaker 1: all know about this photograph. I'm not even gonna go
46:43
Speaker 1: into it. Maxwell and Kevin Spacey's tour of the palace.
46:48
Speaker 1: So we know Kevin Spacey and Maxwell had a tour
46:50
Speaker 1: of the palace, got the pictures, the whole nine. So again,
46:55
Speaker 1: how are you going to tell us that you're not
46:57
Speaker 1: close with Glene Maxwell? And then fine for this article,
47:01
Speaker 1: but certainly not the last time they were hanging out Andrew, Maxwell,
47:04
Speaker 1: Epstein and Harvey Weinstein at Andrew's daughter Beatrice's birthday in
47:09
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Beatrice's eighteenth birthday party was held
47:12
Speaker 1: at Windsor Castle. Photos published in the Sun on Sunday
47:15
Speaker 1: shows now convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein with Epstein and
47:19
Speaker 1: Maxwell talk about the Three Stooges, the three gross disgusting morons.
47:25
Speaker 1: Maxwell wore a feathered mask as she smiled and in photos
47:28
Speaker 1: taken at the bash that was attended by some four
47:31
Speaker 1: hundred guests. Epstein was being investigated by US authorities at
47:34
Speaker 1: the time he attended the party. Two months later, he
47:37
Speaker 1: was issued a warrant for sexual assault of a miner.
47:40
Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that nobody warned the Prince.
47:42
Speaker 1: Nobody in the Foreign Affairs Office called over and said, hey, look, dude,
47:46
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's sick fuck boys. What are you guys doing?
47:51
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't, but I'll tell you what. Either way,
47:54
Speaker 1: what's Prince Andrew doing? I mean, here's an idea. Why
47:56
Speaker 1: don't you google the people you're hanging out with. During
48:01
Speaker 1: a newsnight interview in twenty nineteen, Andrew claimed he didn't
48:05
Speaker 1: know about the proceedings and that Epstein had attended because
48:08
Speaker 1: he had invited Maxwell. So again, he says in the interview,
48:11
Speaker 1: he invited Maxwell, but all of a sudden, him and
48:14
Speaker 1: Epstein were the close ones. None of it makes sense,
48:17
Speaker 1: all right, the whole story he's pitching, and this whole
48:20
Speaker 1: entire line that him and Maxwell weren't close might be
48:23
Speaker 1: what sinks him here. And that's why I wanted to
48:25
Speaker 1: focus on this again tonight. Pretty sure Judge Kaplan's going
48:29
Speaker 1: to take a look at this and say the same
48:30
Speaker 1: thing I'm saying, what are you talking about, Buddy? I
48:33
Speaker 1: see the evidence here. You were obviously close to her,
48:36
Speaker 1: And if you can't be truthful about the very basics,
48:39
Speaker 1: the small little nuance, then you're definitely not being truthful
48:44
Speaker 1: about the overall story either. So that's where it's at
48:47
Speaker 1: with Prince Andrew. And when you look at the rebuttal
48:52
Speaker 1: he put forward here, it is absolutely ridiculous. And for
48:57
Speaker 1: him and his legal team, I mean maybe they were
49:00
Speaker 1: excited when they put that together. They all had a toast,
49:03
Speaker 1: maybe clanked a couple of glasses, thought they did a
49:06
Speaker 1: good job.
49:07
Speaker 2: But boys, tell you.
49:08
Speaker 1: What, barely getting a C grade here, and lucky to
49:13
Speaker 1: get that, because this whole entire response was not the
49:18
Speaker 1: right way to go about it in my opinion. Anyway,
49:21
Speaker 1: I guess we'll have to see, we'll come back and
49:23
Speaker 1: we'll check this episode after all is said and done,
49:27
Speaker 1: and we'll see if I was close to the mark
49:29
Speaker 1: or not. But so far, when we're talking about these
49:32
Speaker 1: people and the way they've gone about defending themselves, this
49:36
Speaker 1: has not been the right way to do it. They've
49:38
Speaker 1: all failed, and I would expect to see Prince Andrew
49:41
Speaker 1: fail as well if he keeps this up. Especially so
49:44
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning we'll pick back up and we'll see what's
49:47
Speaker 1: going on with Maxwell and Epstein and Andrew and the
49:51
Speaker 1: rest of them. And you know that we're going to
49:53
Speaker 1: have a couple of curves in the road, if you will,
49:56
Speaker 1: and some more bumps before we get to the end,
50:00
Speaker 1: because there is so much more we do not know.
50:04
Speaker 1: For everything that we do know, there's a ton more
50:06
Speaker 1: that we don't know. And every day more becomes available,
50:10
Speaker 1: and as we get more document dumps and more things
50:13
Speaker 1: are unsealed, hopefully we'll get more information and the picture
50:18
Speaker 1: will become more clear. All right, everybody that's gonna do
50:22
Speaker 1: it for tonight. I will be back tomorrow morning with
50:26
Speaker 1: a morning update. Obviously some context episodes come in your
50:29
Speaker 1: way in the meantime, and we'll be off and running.
