Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Now that the banks are back under the
microscope again and JP Morgan is sweating like Prince Andrew
after a BBC interview, it feels like the perfect moment
to revisit that little lawsuit that they got wrapped up in.
You know, the one filed by the Epstein survivors. You
remember that thing, right, the lawsuit that ended with JP
Morgan coughing up roughly three hundred million dollars like they
were clearing their throat after choking on the truth. Yeah,
that one the one they want you to forget as
quickly as possible. And isn't it incredible how fast these
institutions go into full blown memory hale mode the second
accountability knocks. Suddenly, everyone in the boardroom gets amnesia, nobody
knows who approved what, and the only thing left standing
is the stack of NDAs tall enough to block sunlight.
They'd love nothing more than for the public to blink
and move on, to treat that settlement like some routine
business glitch instead of the volcanic alarm bell. It truly was,
But unfortunately for them, some of us are not so
easily sedated by pr fluff and corporate xanax. Because if
it was all just a hoax, if Epstein was just
a myth invented by hysterical women and a handful of
conspiracy theorists, why would JP Morgan hand over that kind
of dough that countries go to war over. Why would
they peel off three hundred million like they were tipping
a valet. Doesn't that seem like a strange move if
this entire operation was nothing more than mass delusion and
overactive imaginations, Sure it does. It's almost like they're admitting
something without actually having to say the words out loud.
You don't pay out that kind of cash because you
feel bad. You don't drop a number like that because
you want to focus on the future. You drop that
kind of money because you're terrified of what discovery process
might vomit into the public domain. And trust me, whatever
was lurking behind those polished Mahogany doors must have been
uglier than a Walmart parking lot at two am, But
of course don't. The official statement was full of the
usual corporate ferry dust. According to JP Morgan, they were
just paying it to move forward and close a painful chapter.
Definitely not because they were caught red handed laundering money
for a human trafficking sex predator with his own private
island and a phone book that reads like a Forbes
billionaire list. Come on, perish that thought. They barely knew
the guy. He was just some random hedge fun wizard
who somehow kept fifty million in cash moving around inside
their institution like hamsters on a wheel. They want us
to believe that Epstein drifted into JP Morgan like a
fucking tumbleweed, opened accounts nobody monitored withdrew hundreds of thousands
in cash repeatedly for tips, and nobody at the highest
levels had the faintest clue. And on the Sultan of
Brunei dancing in platform heels on the deck of the Titanic,
and you'd think that maybe, just maybe, forking over three
hundred million dollars might convince the average person that the
allegations had merit. But no, The boot licking fan club
for the powerful Est still out there, insisting Epstein was
a hoax, that it's all blown out of proportion, and
that the real victims are the poor, misunderstood billionaires who
keep accidentally wiring money to pedophiles, poor things, thoughts, and prayers.
These same people would watch a man stab someone on
video and still say, we don't need to analyze this carefully.
This could be deep faked. There is no level of
evidence strong enough to break through a brain that's been
dipped in the concrete of hero worship and political delusion.
They would defend a billionaire if they personally watched them
loading screaming teenagers into a helicopter. Meanwhile, the survivors, the
actual human beings destroyed by Epstein and his network, are
still treated like inconvenient speed bumps in the road of
elite reputation management. Their lawsuit drag daylight across the inner
workings of the financial sector in a way these banks
never expected. JP Morgan wanted to pretend they barely recognized
Epstein's name, like you was some dude who wandered in
off the street asked for a debit card. But once
those depositions, documents, and testimony started spilling out, the picture
got a whole lot clearer. Suddenly the idea that the
bank had no idea who Epstein really was as a
rolex bought off a Tijuana street vendor. Suddenly that we
were shocked and devastated. Routine fell apart like wet cardboard.
You see. It turns out that JP Morgan had concerns,
and by concerns, I mean they had internal emails calling
Epstein high risk, warning that his transactions smelled like dirty booty.
And still they allowed him to transfer millions in cash
like he was buying scratch off lottery tickets, because when
there's enough money flying around, everyone suddenly comes down with
a bad case of moral blindness. Funny how that works.
Nothing makes a risk assessment disappear faster than a billionaire
waving investment opportunities like strip club coupons. The bank saw
the smoke pouring out of the building and decided, you
know what, maybe it's just fog. But don't worry. They said,
it was all just poor oversight, a clerical error, a
little whoopsie daisy. Happens all the time, right, people accidentally
enable a global child trafficking ring and then oops, guess
we'll pay out hundreds of millions and we'll call it
a day. No need for criminal charges, no need for prison.
Nobody needs to be frog marched out of a skyscraper
and handcuffs. God forbid. Anyone in a suit faces consequences.
We wouldn't want to upset the stock price in America.
We don't prosecute the wealthy. We rename a conference room
after them and send them off with a retirement package
that could fund a small country. Because once again, when
all the chips were pushed to the center of the table,
the banks walked away clean. They always do. They could
be caught with a severed head in the trunk and
a chainsaw dripping on the leather seats, and somehow the
police would apologize for interrupting them on their way to
a charity luncheon. The system bends like it's made of
rubber whenever money is involved, and justice is always the
first thing that gets punted into the river, wearing men's
shoes and yo. Even with all the information laid out publicly,
even with the truth sitting there like a dead elephant
in the living room, nobody was held accountable. Not a
single executive arrested, not one indictment, not even a forced
resignation done with fake dignity and a golden parachute. Instead,
they cut a check and moved on. The survivors barely
got the ashes, while the bank kept the estate house
and the yacht. Accountability died somewhere between page fifty seven
of a settlement agreement and decatered lunch break. But here's
the thing, the renewed interest, the press attention, the political
pressure building again. However tiny that window is, it's still
a window. Somebody accidentally left the curtain cracked, and now
we can see the rot that Epstein let flourish for decades.
The spotlight is creeping back toward the people who actually
enabled them, funded them, protected them, and profited off the
misery that he manufactured. They can feel the light heating
their skin, and they're already scrambling for shape like vampires
at sunrise. And guess where this coven of bloodsuckers live. Oh,
that's right. The financial sector, the industry that treats morality
like bitcoin, volatile, disposable, and completely imaginary unless there's profit attached.
The same sector that funded Epstein, defended Epstein, dined with Epstein,
invested with Epstein, and now pretends they barely knew him,
like he was the janitor who passed through once. If
the Nile was a commodity, that have it listed on
the New York Stock exchange already, and it's certainly wild
how quickly narrative shift. One minute, Epstein's the golden goose
who introduces billionaires to teenagers and offshore accounts, and the
next minute he's the ghost everyone swears they never met,
like there weren't endless photos, flight logs, dinners, boardrooms, and
email chains thicker than the Bible. And now watching the
powerful rewrite history in real time is like watching a
dog drag a turd across a beige carpet. You can
scream stop, but the damage is already happening, and you
can tell that the banks are nervous. You can smell it.
It's the scent of fear mixed with cologne, worth more
than a mortgage payment, because they know people are asking
questions again, questions the media worked overtime to bury and
politicians sprinted away from like the building was on fire.
Questions that make shareholders sweat and PR teams cry into
their overpriced ergonomic office chairs. Is it going to end
differently this time? I'm not naive enough to say yes.
I'm not here blowing smoke like a DC lobbyist on
a donor funded cigar cruise. I've watched the circus long
enough to know that the trapeze artists always fall into
the net and the clowns always run the show. Hope
is the drug they feed the masses to keep them
from flipping the tables. But I do think that this
moment matters. I think that shining a light again matters.
I think refusing to let these bastards fade into the
darkness matters, because the truth is, nobody gets away with it.
Forever empires, crumble walls, crack, the wrong whisper reaches the
right ear, and one day the dominoes fall, not because
of justice, but because someone more powerful wants a different outcome.
And even if we only pry open a sliver of daylight,
that's enough to burn. Darkness is strong, but sunlight is
a goddamn flamethrower. It only takes one ember to start
a wildfire. So yeah, let's get them spotlights back on
the financial sector. Spotlight on the bankers, Spotlight on the
elite architects of human suffering who pretended to be shocked
now what Epstein was doing while they were wiring them millions.
So yeah, let's put their feet back over the fire
and see how fast the truth boils. Let's see which
executives starts sweating, which lawyers start blinking too fast, and
which politicians suddenly develop selective laryngitis. Because if they can
pay three hundred million to make silence, imagine what the
real bill should be. Imagine the cost if justice ever
stopped being a costume and became a weapon. And I'm
not talking about money anymore. I'm talking about something they
actually fear. And what they actually fear is not prison
bars or orange jumpsuits or mugshots that circle the internet
like vultures. They've already calculated that risk, budgeted for it,
ensured it, and buried it under enough legal paperwork to
choke a landfill. What they fear is something far simpler
and far more lethal to their power structure, exposure. They
fear the oxygen of public scrutiny more than any judge,
jury or grand jury. They fear the light, because the
light is the only thing that makes these roaches scatter,
and these people, they are roaches and tailored suits, crawling
across polished marble floors, pretending to be eagles. So we
once again find ourselves at the edge of that window
they prayed would stay shut forever. The cracks are forming,
the lights getting in, the questions are multiplying. So maybe
the system finally snaps, Maybe the truth finally bleeds all
the way through. Maybe the people they thought were beneath
them rise up and demand something real. Or maybe it
collapses back into silence again. Another cycle of rints launder
and repeat, and look, there's no inspiring conclusion here, no
dramatic promise of justice, no swelling string section, just to
slow grind to truth, pressing forward inch by inch, refusing
to die. Maybe it leads somewhere, Maybe it doesn't. Maybe
they skate again, champagne in hand, laughing all the way
to the bank and their next board meeting. Wouldn't be
the first time, and it wouldn't be surprising, but for
the first time in a long time, they're blinking. They're uncomfortable,
they're adjusting their callers, they're glancing over their shoulders a
little too often, and the one thing they can't purchase, silence,
is getting more expensive by the minute. All right, folks.
So that's going to lead us into the actual lawsuit
that was filed by the survivors, and we're going to
begin getting a look at that later on today. As
for this one, well that's gonna do it. All of
