Federal prosecutors revealed that Jeffrey Epstein wired $350,000 to two women described as alleged co-conspirators shortly after renewed media coverage reignited interest in his criminal conduct. The transfers, made in late 2018, included one payment of $100,000 and another of $250,000 — both sent within days of The Miami Herald’s exposé on Epstein’s 2008 plea deal. Investigators alleged the money was meant to keep potential witnesses silent or loyal as scrutiny mounted around his non-prosecution agreement. Prosecutors described the payments as “potential witness tampering,” noting that they were consistent with Epstein’s long history of using financial leverage to control those around him.
Court filings later confirmed that the recipients of the payments were women previously accused of helping Epstein arrange or manage young victims, but their names remain sealed by judicial order due to safety and privacy concerns. Federal prosecutors insisted that releasing their identities could compromise ongoing investigations and expose individuals who may themselves have been exploited. The revelation of the $350,000 transfers became a central element in arguments that Epstein’s wealth and influence made him a flight and obstruction risk, ultimately contributing to the court’s decision to deny him bail in 2019.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
One of the most confounding things about the whole entire
Jeffrey Epstein shit show is the fact that nobody, and
I mean nobody, really dug into the financials. You would
think that a man who is spreading the cheese all
over the bread the way he is would be looked
(00:21):
at from a financial point of view, but he was not.
And the only reason that I can come up with
for that not to occur is that the ties that
would have led to other people. They didn't want this
to become a Rico case. They didn't want you to
know all of the people that were involved. You want
(00:41):
to talk about an embarrassment for the federal government, hell
for the governments of the world. Let this turn into
a Rico case. And let's start following the money. I mean,
just take a look at all of the people Jeffrey
Epstein has donated to throughout history. We're talking just about
every politician that you could think of in New York
(01:02):
from the early nineties up until his first arrest. I mean,
he gave Chuck Schumer a whole ton of money. So
anyone who received money from Jeffrey Epstein should be on
the radar, but that never occurred, right, And that's because
there's a two tier justice system, folks, one set up
for them and one set up for me and you.
(01:23):
And in this article today that we're going to take
a look at from July of twenty nineteen, it's just
another example of that. Jeffrey Epstein wired three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to two people after a twenty eighteen
report and we all know what that money was. More
hush money. And is it any surprise that these co
(01:45):
conspirators haven't come out and went on the record. It's
because they were being paid off not to go out
on the record. And also, Epstein wasn't stupid when it
comes to his criminal enterprise. It's just like the mafia.
Right to get you're to get made, you have to
clip somebody so that you share in their crimes. And
(02:05):
that's what Epstein did with his assistants, the core four.
They all partook in the crimes so that they all
had the legal jeopardy that they were facing if things
went south. But the little add on on the top
of it was I'll give you some dough too, And
That's how Jeffrey Epstein was able to buy silence. And
(02:26):
still to this day, none of the Core four have
come out and spoken to authorities. None of the Corps
four have talked to the police. And you would think
that some of them would want to get on the
record at the very least and have their stories told. Now.
I know that there is some legal jeopardy for some
of them. I know, uh, Nadia marsen Kova especially has
(02:50):
some you know, issues she would have to deal with
if she wants to speak out. But where's Sarah Kellen Vickers,
Where's Leslie Groff, Where's Adriana Ross. We haven't heard anything
from any of them. And then the icing on the
cake is how Epstein was spreading this dough around. The
prosecutors knew and still didn't wrap any of these people
(03:10):
up with a bow. Today's article is from Business Insider
headline Jeffrey Epstein reportedly wired three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to two people after a bombshell two thy eighteen report.
Prosecutors say this article was authored by David Choi. Federal
(03:32):
prosecutors accused Jeffrey Epstein, The sixty six year old hedge
fund manager charged this week with sex trafficking and conspiracy
to commit traffic to commit sex trafficking of witness, tampering,
and alleged and and alleged he wired hundreds of thousands
of dollars to two potential witnesses, according to court documents
(03:52):
reviewed by The New York Times on Friday. So, if
this was a mafia trial and JEFFREYE. Epstein's last name
was let's say, Ruggero, all of the people that he
wired this money to would now be part of the case. Anybody,
if you received a dollar from him, could now be
(04:13):
part of this case and be part of the criminal conspiracy,
even if you have done nothing wrong. That gives the
Feds the ability to, you know, bug your phone, follow you,
look at your financials, get warrants on you, and all
the rest of it. And that's why the RICO laws
are so powerful, and that's why they go after the
mafia with them, because when you can start targeting people's families,
it changes the whole entire landscape of the prosecution. Prosecutors
(04:40):
claim Epstein wired three hundred and fifty three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars between November and December in twenty eighteen,
after the Miami Herald published its extensive investigation about his
previous plea deal with the US Attorney's Office in Miami.
According to The Times, unbelievable and nothing happened. You know,
(05:00):
we look at this in hindsight now and when it
was all happening in real time, I'm saying to myself,
oh yeah, someone's definitely getting nailed here. Look at all
this money flying every which way but loose. Look at
all of these wire transfers. Look at all of these
ill gotten gains being moved around in the financial sector.
Somebody as to catch this, right Surprise, three years later,
four years later, not a nothing ungats. The two individuals
(05:26):
who were alleged to have received the money were a
possible co conspirators, prosecutors said, according to NBC News and
The Times, So you have people you're involved with, right
and you're moving dough to them while you're under criminal prosecution,
while you're under investigation, and that doesn't lead the investigators
to go after the co conspirators as well. They had
(05:50):
everything they needed, folks, to go after these co conspirators.
They did not. And again I ask you, why not
that's a question you need to ask yourself. In two
thousand and eight, Epstein cut a plea deal with US
Attorney Attorney Office in Miami to avoid federal charges on
suspicion of sexually abusing underage girls at his mansion in
(06:12):
Palm Beach, Florida. Instead, he pleaded guilty to two state
counts of soliciting prostitution and avoided serving federal or state prison.
So this guy has been getting the king's end of
the deal for how long? And it's just so amazing
to me that we had institution after institution, law enforcement
(06:34):
group after law enforcement group not do a damn thing,
even though they knew who the guy was. Instead, he
registered as a sex offender and served thirteen months in
a private wing of a county jail for six days
of the week. He was allowed to work in an
office setting for twelve hours a day, and according to reports,
he was still abusing girls while he was out on
(06:55):
this work release. So who's responsible for that? Oh, that's right.
The Palm Beach officers who were supposed to be with them.
They destroyed a bunch of documentation and records about their
time minding Jeffrey Epstein so you tell me. Every time
we turn around when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, videos
are being erased, documentations being erased. This is being erased.
(07:15):
That's being erased. So it's all a coincidence. I guess
if you want to believe that all of this is
a coincidence, then that's fine. But for me, there is
obviously something bubbling under the surface here, and the idea
is to dig deep enough till we get to the sort. Maybe.
(07:35):
Epstein's attorneys reportedly asked the court that his client be
under house arrests with an ankle monitor. NBC News said
prosecutors are asking for Epstein's bell to be denied in
light of the new accusations of witness tampering. And this
was just old hat for Epstein, for people who might
not be aware, this is how he got off the
(07:55):
first time. It wasn't just a costa you think Acosta
has that kind of power. It was the whole, entire
broken system and Jeffrey Epstein's manipulation of it. This course
of action, and in particular its timing, suggests the defendant
was attempting to further influence co conspirators who might provide
information against him in light of recently re emerging allegations.
(08:19):
Prosecutors said in court filings. According to NBC News, now look,
if these co conspirators had signed three h two profits
and they were working as government informants and they were
helping the government take down Maxwell and Epstein, I could understand.
But that's not the case. And the only way anyone
should be given any sort of leniency that doesn't mean
(08:40):
get off completely, by the way, is if you help out,
if you give information that helps the authorities make arrests.
So why are the co conspirators still walking around and
living it up. None of this money that they received
from Epstein was tainted. Epstein is currently being held at
the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. He is pleading not
(09:02):
guilty to the charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to
commit sex trafficking. He faces a maximum sentence of forty
five years in prison. Even that sentence is ridiculous. How
is it again, ask yourself that Keith Rainier he gets
a buck twenty, but Epstein was only looking at forty five.
Why how is it that the system is so tilted
(09:24):
for people like Epstein when you and I not that
you would ever commit anything like this, I would hope,
but we would be thrown underneath a jail, forget about it.
The charging document alleged Epstein's sexually exploited and abused dozens
of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York,
(09:45):
and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. But what this
article shows you, once again, folks, is that there were
a lot of people in on this, and a lot
of people were you know, went in their beak on
Jeffrey Epstein's dime. And this guy was making his money
in a criminalistic way. So that means everybody who was
involved with him, well, they're involved in the conspiracy. So
(10:07):
how is it that he's able to send money to
co conspirators. He's able to send money to this one
and that one, and there's no forensic investigation. The SEC
and the IRS aren't over here with their bibs on
and you know, a fork and knife and a plate
because they're so hungry to eat the rich. Isn't that
the whole going mantra? That's what the IRS is going
(10:30):
to be doing moving forward. I have a hard time
believing it because guess what the track record says something different.
Do you think you'd be afforded all of these different
rights and different uh, you know, breaks in the system
that Jeffrey Epstein got. Of course you wouldn't be, but
he was. And guess what, that whole time that he
(10:53):
was catching those breaks, that whole time that he was
being enabled, he was raping and abusing children and women,
and all of the people who are involved in that
need to be held responsible. All right, folks, it's gonna
