Prince Andrew’s handling of the now-infamous £750,000 payment came under renewed scrutiny when reports revealed he instructed bankers with questions about the transfer to “call Buckingham Palace.” According to coverage of the incident, when compliance officers at the bank sought clarification about the large sum—sent by Andrew’s associate to Sarah Ferguson, and widely viewed as suspicious—Andrew chose not to provide details himself. Instead, he deflected inquiries to the palace, implying that the matter was official or sanctioned at an institutional level. This response immediately raised internal red flags, as banks rely on clear justification for high-value transfers, not royal name-dropping.
The request to route all concerns to Buckingham Palace was seen by investigators as an attempt to use royal authority to sidestep standard financial scrutiny. Rather than easing the bank’s concerns, Andrew’s instruction heightened them, triggering further internal reviews and outside attention. The incident became one more example of how Andrew relied on the aura of royal privilege to manage controversies—an approach that ultimately collapsed once the Epstein scandal and subsequent civil case forced transparency. The £750,000 episode now stands as a pivotal moment showing how Andrew tried, unsuccessfully, to shield questionable financial dealings behind the palace gates.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
I'm not going to spend too much time monologuing this evening,
considering we're all aware at this point about Prince Andrew
and his newest problem with this Turkish fraudster. Now, this
episode's going to add a little more context, going to
(00:20):
talk a little bit more about the relationship here, and
then at the end we're going to talk a little
bit about Fergie and her refusal to give back the
two hundred and twenty five thousand pounds that she received.
So why don't we just jump right into this article
this evening from the Daily Mail and let's see what
(00:41):
Steven Wynn Davies, Jamie Phillips and Martin Robinson have come
up with. Headline, Prince Andrew told bankers to call his
Buckingham Palace office if they were concerned over seven hundred
and fifty thousand pounds payment from alleged fraudster. To call
my Buckingham Palace office. Huh, well that's nice. Imagine being
(01:03):
able to just say, hey, call the Royal Office to
check on what I have going on. Don't have to
take any personal responsibility, none of that. I just call
the palace. Prince Andrew told bankers to call his Buckingham
Palace office if they were concerned over seven hundred and
fifty thousand pound payment from an alleged fraudster. The Duke
(01:24):
of York received payments of more than one million pounds
from Selman Turk after they met through the Duke's gun
smuggler friend, Tarique Katuni, who attended Fergie's surprise sixtieth birthday
bash and Eugenie's wedding. The payments included a seven hundred
and fifty thousand pound wedding gift to Princess Beatrice. Now
(01:46):
sounds like someone who's pretty close to the family, huh.
Doesn't sound like just a plus one or somebody who
is on the outskirts. Obviously, him and Andrew have a
pretty deep relationship. Obviously they're pretty close. And that shouldn't
shock anybody that Andrew is associating with the scum of
the scum, considering well fellow travelers and all. According to
(02:13):
the Telegraph, mister Turk told officials looking into the seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars payment that Prince Andrew had
authorized him to pass on the details of palace aides.
Mister Katuni has previously boasted of his influence over the
Duke and attended the wedding of Prince Andrew's daughter, Princess
Eugenie in two thy eighteen. Now look, man, how many
(02:37):
types of relationships is this guy going to get engaged
in that are at this level? Meaning people who are
moving in a funky manner. I don't know about you, folks,
but I don't know any gun runners or child molesters
or abusers or anything like that. But somehow Prince Andrew
(02:57):
finds himself surrounded by the these kinds of people on
an everyday basis. Everywhere he goes. It seems he just
happens to attract these kind of people. No good people
want to be around Andrew. Well, yeah, it certainly seems
the case. And again it goes back to the whole
fellow traveler thing. The convicted smuggler is also understood to
(03:21):
have previously helped brokers secret meetings for the Duke with
the late dictator Colonel Gaddafi, and once told undercover reporters
he played a key role in the release of the
locker Bee bomber abdel Basset al Maghri. Now that's nice huh,
hell of a guy, get that dude released. I mean,
for real, do we forget what the locker bee bombing
(03:43):
look like? I mean, I'm old enough to remember that.
So you got this guy working as a go between
to get the bomber freed, and at the same time
he's over there with Prince Andrew ingratiating himself to Prince Andrew,
and lord knows what kind of manipulation he has going on,
what sort of blackmail he might have over Andrew Again,
(04:06):
I don't know that for sure, but when you're dealing
with information brokers and you're dealing with people on this
sort of playing field, it is no holds barred, no
gloves required. Katuni introduced Andrew to Selman Turk thirty five
(04:27):
in the early summer of twenty nineteen, before the pair
became friendly and shared dinners at the alleged fraudster's South
Kensington home. It previously emerged that fergie surprise sixtieth birthday party,
which took place just months after their introduction, was partially
funded by mister Turk. The Sunday Telegraph reported, Now we
(04:48):
talked about this yesterday and how the mister Turk was
involved with all of this stuff, and the question we
asked then and it's the question I'll ask now for
so what reason? What was mister Turk receiving in return?
My guess is he was getting the favor of Prince Andrew,
and Prince Andrew was, you know, manipulating things that he
(05:11):
could in favor of mister Turk. That's the only logical
explanation here. We know that mister Turk wasn't doing it
out of the kindness of his heart. None of these
people do that. They don't just show up when you're
sick or something and say, hey, here's a million bucks.
Everything is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum with these people.
(05:38):
And months later, mister Turk and Kituni took a selfie
photograph together during a visit to what appears to be
Frogmore House, the Royal Residence in Windsor Great Park in
February twenty twenty. Look, they've had them all there at
the Royal Residence. Ah gun runners, child molesters, human traffickers, rapists,
(05:58):
the whole mind hell of a place. Since their introduction
less than three years ago, mister Turk is alleged to
have made payments totaling one point one million pounds to Andrew,
of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds to Sarah, and
twenty five thousand pounds to Princess Eugenie. Of some allegedly
(06:19):
paid to the princess. Fifteen thousand had been listed as
a birthday gift, but it is understood to have actually
been used to pay for the surprise party. So Prince
Andrew's out here, you know, manipulating his relationships and getting
people to pay for his daughter's birthday party. Right, she's
a princess. You need other people to pay for her
(06:40):
birthday party. Maybe if you weren't such a scumbag, Maybe,
if you weren't up to your neck in sexual assault allegations,
you'd have a couple of bucks to spread around for
your kid's birthday party. But instead you have to get
money from a gun runner, a fraudster. However, it is
(07:00):
alleged that this money was stolen by mister Turk from
Turkish millionaires Nebahat eviyap Isbelin, who had entrusted him with
helping her move eighty seven million out of Turkey as
she attempted to avoid political persecution. So Prince Andrew's scumbag
assd is getting money from a lady who was being
politically persecuted on the grift. Now Andrew, he'll say he
(07:23):
had no idea about any of this. I thought the
money was on the up and up. I thought that
mister Turk, the notorious gun runner in Scumbag, was a
legitimate man, and I was just doing the honorable thing
and hanging out with him. Prince Andrew and his family
have been named in the High Court battle. The Telegraph
reported the complex case is ongoing, no trial has taken place,
(07:47):
and the allegations have not yet been resolved. Mister Turk
denies all allegations of wrongdoing. In preliminary hearings, it was
alleged substantial sums were paid to the Duke and Duchess
of York, but there has been no suggestion that they
have any involvement in the allegations. Isn't that nice You
can receive a bunch of stolen money and it's no
big deal. Oh, we didn't know, So maybe that's what
(08:11):
everybody should say who gets caught up in a rico
ca So I had no idea where this money came from.
I didn't know that this was ill gotten gains. You
mean to tell me that the money that Prince Andrew
received from mister Turk wasn't from ill gotten gains. Mister
Turk didn't get this money from manipulating relationships, or from
gun running or a bevy of other illegal activities that
(08:35):
I'm sure he was involved in. The party was attended
by the likes of Ellie Golding, Robbie Williams and Julian Fellows.
Princess Eugenie has said she believed the payments to be
gifts from family friends to assist with the cost of
the surprise bash. Here's an idea. If you don't have
(08:57):
the money to throw a bash for your daughter and
then you should probably roll it back and not make
it a bash, or go to your mom the queen.
She's willing to give you money to pay for sexual
assault allegations. Pretty sure she'd pay for her granddaughter's little
chare here, unless, of course, it wasn't about the money
and it was about building the relationship. We all know
(09:19):
how Prince Andrew rolls folks, and we all know that
he likes to have his hands in the pockets of
many scumbags. In a statement she said in early October
twenty nineteen, I had received a call from our family
friend saying that he wanted to make a financial contribution
towards my mother's birthday party to assist with the catering costs.
(09:42):
I suggested that any contribution could be made directly to
the caterers, but in the event provided my account details
to which two payments were made, totaling twenty five thousand pounds,
which I then transferred on to the company organizing my
mother's party. So again, these rich people can and even
pay for their own parties. You people are richer than
(10:02):
God himself, and you're out here cavorting with people like
mister turk All because you're so damn greedy. That's what
it comes down to, greed. Prince Andrew can pay all
this money sixteen pounds, twenty thousand pounds whatever it is
to go watch a golf game, you can't come up
with the money to throw your little chuare here. Kaituni
(10:25):
was among one hundred guests at the party and enjoyed
regular access to Andrew, with photographs showing the duke sitting
near him at the event. Andrew first became involved with
Katuni in two thousand and five, the same year he
was caught trying to smuggle a submachine gun from the
Netherlands to France. Kaituni has previously demonstrated his willingness to
(10:46):
trade on their friendship and has claimed he could influence
Andrew into backing commercial projects. Well that's gonna be worthless
from here on out right, I mean, Andrew has no
more say so, that's a wasted relationship. All of that
money that Kaytuni and Turk used to try and lather
up mister Prince Andrew here all going to waste, it
(11:10):
would seem. The Libyan once gave Eugenie A. Eugenie's sister Beatrice,
an eighteen thousand dollars diamond necklace, months before the Duke
allegedly lobbied a British company on his behalf. Sure looks
(11:33):
like pay for play to me. Sure looks like nepotism
to me. But what do I know. I'm just some
guy sitting in his studio running in his fat. Yet
mister Turk currently lives in a multimillion pound flat in
a prestigious Mayfair property owned by the Queen. I mean
that's just a coincidence, right that the Queen owns This
spot that this dude's living in has nothing to do
(11:55):
with the relationship he has with Andrew. Hauh. How many
of us out there can afford to live in a
spot owned by the Queen. I'm guessing not too many
of us. But it's crazy to think that there's all
of these ties, all of these connections, and Prince Andrew
would still be out here acting like, oh, I don't
know who this guy is. He just gave me some money,
just like you didn't know who Virginia Roberts was, right,
(12:18):
mister Prince. He has understood to have been introduced to
Kaitani in early twenty nineteen, then before then meeting Andrew
for the first time in May or June later the
same year. Mister Turk, Kaitani and the Duke subsequently met
on at least two occasions, including a dinner with potential
investors at the alleged fraudsters South Kensington home in West
(12:41):
London in December of twenty and nineteen. Can you imagine
all the griff that was going on there boy to
be a roach in the rushes and to have access
to that conversation with all of these morons the only
time Andrew and mister Turk have been pictured together in public.
Was when the latter won an award at the Duke
(13:02):
of York's Dragon Deen style competition Pitch at Palace in
November of twenty nineteen. In a video posted to the
Pitch Palace Twitter account, he outlined how he was creating
a new consumer focused digital bank aimed at millennials named
Hayman Ai. Okay, so basically, what this fraudster is saying
(13:23):
is that he's creating a bank aimed at millennials to
pill for your wealth. Because this guy is an obvious fraudster,
a scumbag, and certainly not somebody I'd be comfortable putting
my money with. I mean, for real, you're starting a bank, bro.
The next evening, Hayman Ai won the People's Choice award
(13:44):
and he was photographed shaking hands with the Duke who
hosted the event. But days later, mister Turk told an
official from miss Isbelin's private bank that the seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars payment was a wedding gift. In
court documents, Missus Bellin, who also attended the Pitch at
Palace event, has suggested the transfer could be connected to
(14:05):
the award, mister Turk one that evening. The Prince has
since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam.
A spokeswoman for the Duke of York said, we will
not be commenting on an ongoing legal matter. So since
he paid the money back, it's all good. There's no
you know, no penalties for it, for accepting stolen money
or stolen goods. Maybe I should just run a fence
(14:28):
shop out of my garage and when the cops come,
I could just say, oh, I had no idea any
of this was stolen. I'll just pay the money back.
I wonder how far that would get me. I'm guessing
it would get me right into a fucking jail cell.
Sarah Ferguson has no plans to hand back the two
hundred and twenty five thousand pounds, as it was a
(14:49):
fee for her work as a brand ambassador for a
green energy firm. Sources say, what a bunch of hot air.
The Duchess of York does not plan to repay the
two hundred twenty five pounds she received from the company
of Selman Turk, whom she regarded as a perfectly bonafide
banka it is understood perfectly, perfectly bonafid huh sure, just
(15:11):
like Jeffrey Epstein. Hell of a guy, another person who
lent you money. I mean, what's next, Who's gonna lend
her money next? Does she have a connection to bin
Laden's estate? Perhaps maybe she can go get some money
from you know, insert scumbag here, because she has a
list of people who she's gotten money from who are
absolute pieces of shit. Sarah got the payment from Alphabet
(15:36):
Capital Limited, which the High Court heard was a fraudule
in front for a parent money laundering. In legal documents
before the court, Turks claimed to be a con man
who set up Alphabet to move dirty money around the world.
He denies the allegation. You know, it's funny because London
is a hub for money laundering. It's a huge place
(15:57):
to wash dirty money. And I wasn't even aware of
that really until a few years ago when we first
started digging into this. But the deeper you dive and
the more you look at it, New York and London
both are just filled with absolute scumbags. The Duchess has
not issued any statement about the money she received, but
(16:18):
sources close to her have offered an explanation. They say
it relates to her work as a brand ambassador for
US green energy company Pegasus Group Holdings two hundred and
twenty five thousand pounds for Fergie to be a brand ambassador.
Are they hiring? I'm looking to be a brand ambassador.
I'll take half that dough. Turk was suggested as someone
(16:40):
who would take on the debts and pay the Duchess
in full, with Pegasus then paying him in installments. Insiders
say she knew Turk through the Duke and regarded him
as a banker and a perfectly bonafide person to deal with.
A spokesman for Sarah said the Duchess was completely unaware
of the allegations that have since emerged against mister Turk.
(17:01):
She is naturally concerned by what has been alleged against him.
Pegas's was unavailable for comment. Well, if she was really concerned,
don't you think she'd be giving that money back. Don't
you think she'd be falling over herself to try and
make people a whole because obviously that money was stolen
from somewhere. That's how this works. A grifter like mister Turk,
you know, he's ganking this money from somewhere. So now
(17:23):
you're in possession of ill gotten gains. And if we
lived in a world with any justice, if we lived
in a world where people like you were held accountable,
you would be in big trouble for that. But unfortunately,
that's not the reality we live in. We live in
a reality where these people can do whatever they want,
but you and I, well, we have to play by
the rules that they make. And on and on the
(17:50):
wheel turns, folks, The question is when are the spokes

All right, folks, I will talk to you all later

What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

my Buckingham Palace office. Huh, well that's nice. Imagine being

the palace. Prince Andrew told bankers to call his Buckingham

would still be out here acting like, oh, I don't
know who this guy is. He just gave me some money,
just like you didn't know who Virginia Roberts was, right,
(12:18):
mister Prince. He has understood to have been introduced to
Kaitani in early twenty nineteen, then before then meeting Andrew
for the first time in May or June later the
same year. Mister Turk, Kaitani and the Duke subsequently met
on at least two occasions, including a dinner with potential
investors at the alleged fraudsters South Kensington home in West
(12:41):
London in December of twenty and nineteen. Can you imagine
all the griff that was going on there boy to
be a roach in the rushes and to have access
to that conversation with all of these morons the only
time Andrew and mister Turk have been pictured together in public.
Was when the latter won an award at the Duke
(13:02):
of York's Dragon Deen style competition Pitch at Palace in
November of twenty nineteen. In a video posted to the
Pitch Palace Twitter account, he outlined how he was creating
a new consumer focused digital bank aimed at millennials named
Hayman Ai. Okay, so basically, what this fraudster is saying
(13:23):
is that he's creating a bank aimed at millennials to
pill for your wealth. Because this guy is an obvious fraudster,
a scumbag, and certainly not somebody I'd be comfortable putting
my money with. I mean, for real, you're starting a bank, bro.
The next evening, Hayman Ai won the People's Choice award
(13:44):
and he was photographed shaking hands with the Duke who
hosted the event. But days later, mister Turk told an
official from miss Isbelin's private bank that the seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars payment was a wedding gift. In
court documents, Missus Bellin, who also attended the Pitch at
Palace event, has suggested the transfer could be connected to
(14:05):
the award, mister Turk one that evening. The Prince has
since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam.
A spokeswoman for the Duke of York said, we will
not be commenting on an ongoing legal matter. So since
he paid the money back, it's all good. There's no
you know, no penalties for it, for accepting stolen money
or stolen goods. Maybe I should just run a fence
(14:28):
shop out of my garage and when the cops come,
I could just say, oh, I had no idea any
of this was stolen. I'll just pay the money back.
I wonder how far that would get me. I'm guessing
it would get me right into a fucking jail cell.
Sarah Ferguson has no plans to hand back the two
hundred and twenty five thousand pounds, as it was a
(14:49):
fee for her work as a brand ambassador for a
green energy firm. Sources say, what a bunch of hot air.
The Duchess of York does not plan to repay the
two hundred twenty five pounds she received from the company
of Selman Turk, whom she regarded as a perfectly bonafide
banka it is understood perfectly, perfectly bonafid huh sure, just
(15:11):
like Jeffrey Epstein. Hell of a guy, another person who
lent you money. I mean, what's next, Who's gonna lend
her money next? Does she have a connection to bin
Laden's estate? Perhaps maybe she can go get some money
from you know, insert scumbag here, because she has a
list of people who she's gotten money from who are
absolute pieces of shit. Sarah got the payment from Alphabet
(15:36):
Capital Limited, which the High Court heard was a fraudule
in front for a parent money laundering. In legal documents
before the court, Turks claimed to be a con man
who set up Alphabet to move dirty money around the world.
He denies the allegation. You know, it's funny because London
is a hub for money laundering. It's a huge place
(15:57):
to wash dirty money. And I wasn't even aware of
that really until a few years ago when we first
started digging into this. But the deeper you dive and
the more you look at it, New York and London
both are just filled with absolute scumbags. The Duchess has
not issued any statement about the money she received, but
(16:18):
sources close to her have offered an explanation. They say
it relates to her work as a brand ambassador for
US green energy company Pegasus Group Holdings two hundred and
twenty five thousand pounds for Fergie to be a brand ambassador.
Are they hiring? I'm looking to be a brand ambassador.
I'll take half that dough. Turk was suggested as someone
(16:40):
who would take on the debts and pay the Duchess
in full, with Pegasus then paying him in installments. Insiders
say she knew Turk through the Duke and regarded him
as a banker and a perfectly bonafide person to deal with.
A spokesman for Sarah said the Duchess was completely unaware
of the allegations that have since emerged against mister Turk.
(17:01):
She is naturally concerned by what has been alleged against him.
Pegas's was unavailable for comment. Well, if she was really concerned,
don't you think she'd be giving that money back. Don't
you think she'd be falling over herself to try and
make people a whole because obviously that money was stolen
from somewhere. That's how this works. A grifter like mister Turk,
you know, he's ganking this money from somewhere. So now
(17:23):
you're in possession of ill gotten gains. And if we
lived in a world with any justice, if we lived
in a world where people like you were held accountable,
you would be in big trouble for that. But unfortunately,
that's not the reality we live in. We live in
a reality where these people can do whatever they want,
but you and I, well, we have to play by
the rules that they make. And on and on the
(17:50):
wheel turns, folks, The question is when are the spokes
going to break? If you'd like to contact me, you
can do that ad Bobby Kapuchi at ProtonMail dot com.
