Speaker 1 (00:08):
This is your last chance. After this, there is no
turning back. You take the Blue Pilm. The story ends.
You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you
want to believe. You take the Red Pill. You stay
(00:30):
in Wonderland, and the White Morpheus will show you how
deep the rabbit hole goes. Welcome to Blackstone Intelligence with
your host Jake Morefonios.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Thank you Katie Clark. Hello everyone tuning in from wherever
you may be out there in this beautiful country and
scattered around the world. Greetings to you all from the
heart of North Carolina. Today is Wednesday, August twenty eighth,
twenty nineteen. Welcome to the Blackstone Intelligence Report. I'm your host,
(01:08):
Jake Morphonios. I was going to do today's show on
Jeff Epstein's time that he served in the Palm Beach
County jail. But there's a little bit of additional information
that I want to add in first, information that leads
up to that jail sentence. So I have decided to
(01:29):
share that information with you first. So today's episode it's
going to be a little bit shorter than they usually are,
and then tomorrow we'll go into that jail story in
greater depth. What I'm going to present tonight will make
some of the information on tomorrow's jail episode make a
little more sense. I think so. In our last episode,
(01:53):
I covered the period of September to October of two
thousand and seven. That's back when federal prosecute alex Acosta
Marie Viefania. They had worked with Epstein's attorneys on that
non prosecution agreement. Right This was happening after Epstein had
secretly agreed to act as an informant for the FBI.
(02:17):
But Epstein's attorneys continued to press press hard against these prosecutors,
trying to get even better terms for Epstein beyond what
had been offered in this non prosecution agreement. So in December,
epstein attorney Ken Starr decided to try a delay tactic.
(02:39):
He escalated a complaint up to the Department of Justice
in Washington, d C. This is to buy Epstein more
time so that the attorneys can keep whittling away and
trying to get even more favorable outcomes for Jeff Epstein.
And so that brings us into January of two thousand
and eight. Epstein is now arguing that he he doesn't
(03:00):
want to have to register as a sex offender, which
is outrageous given the crimes that he committed. But what
he does is he dispatches his attorney, Jay Lefkowitz to
go talk to Alex Acosta about this. Remember left Kowitz
and Acosta had both served at Kirkland and Ellis together
(03:21):
the law firm, so they talk by phone and basically
what left Kuwitz says is that, look, my client is
going to back out of this agreement unless you can
get rid of this sex offender registration requirement. If you
don't eliminate that, we're going to pull out. So these
(03:43):
plea negotiations keep going, they go into February into March,
no progress whatsoever being made. Now in the meantime, while
that's happening, you do have some of the low level
FBI agents who are continuing to try and track down
(04:03):
more of Epstein's victims, more of the witnesses to the crimes,
and their investigation reveals that Epstein is continuing to go
after the victims. Not sexually necessarily, but Epstein is continuing
(04:23):
to send his intermediaries to harass these girls, to intimidate
them into silence because he knows that there's a lot
more of these girls out there than just the few
who are suing him at that point. Now we know
that Epstein's attorneys themselves were part of this harassment, that
(04:45):
they were personally harassing these girls. We know it because
the US Attorney's office mentions it in the court documents.
Some remember, some of the federal prosecutors that are in
Alex Acosta's office are our white hats. These are guys
trying to do their job. They know Epstein is bad.
(05:07):
They want to hold them accountable. Their bosses might not,
but they do. And they are still seething, remember, because
Epstein's attorneys had come after them and their families too,
So they see this as an ever growing travesty of justice.
(05:27):
So they're continuing to collect evidence to try and open
up a new federal grand jury proceeding. The old one
was closed via FANYA, and Acosta got the old one
shut down. Now they're trying to open a new one.
So this preparation that these federal prosecutors are making it
continues through April into early May of two thousand and eight.
(05:52):
So it has now been nearly eight months since Epstein
first agreed to enter a plea deal with as eight months.
But through all of these efforts by Ken Starr and Lefkowitz,
these other attorneys, Epstein has been able to delay the
whole process. He's put the brakes on the whole thing.
(06:16):
But finally in May, what changes is that the Department
of Justice in Washington, d C. They finally released their
conclusion that if Epstein and the federal prosecutors can't come
to an agreement on a plea deal, then the prosecutors
there in the Southern District of Florida can and should
(06:39):
go ahead and open a prosecution of him at the
federal level. Now, it had been Epstein's hope that his
cooperation with the FBI would have prevented him from having
to serve any time in prison, but you know, it
wasn't likely. He knew that he was probably going to
(06:59):
have to spend some time somewhere. So at this point
it is now clear that's it. He is not going
to completely escape justice. So he has to make a decision.
Epstein can either finalize some kind of agreement in the
state level case that the federal prosecutors are helping to
(07:20):
work out, or Epstein can roll the dice, take his
chances go to trial. In a federal case and try
and get off completely. But that's a high risk, very
high risk. So final negotiations are conducted in June, and
(07:45):
on the thirtieth June thirtieth of two thousand and eight,
Jeffrey Epstein walks into the Palm Beach County Courthouse and
he pleads guilty. He pleads guilty to one count of
solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution
with a minor under the age of eighteen, not child rape,
(08:10):
which is what he did, but soliciting a prostitute. Judge
Deborah Pussillo is the judge in the case, and she
listens to Epstein's testimony on this day and she kind
of grills him. She asks him and his attorney's a
(08:30):
host of questions. She gets right down to what medicines
he takes, and Epstein tells her that he doesn't take
any prescription medication except for a cholesterol pill. During the questioning, though,
Epstein kind of opens up or at least gives his
story to the judge. He says that he earned his
(08:51):
income as an investment banker, that what he does is
he manages the money of very wealthy clients, and he's
trying to dazzle the judge. He's hoping to gain leniency
by dropping names of some of his powerful, wealthy friends,
including Epstein tells the judge, Hey, you know, I'm friends
(09:14):
with former President Bill Clinton. He's a personal friend of mine. Now,
something else came up in that hearing that I'm going
to go ahead and mentioned now, but I'm going to
discuss it in greater detail in tomorrow's episode. Epstein had
agreed through his attorneys to the plea deal. Remember this
(09:35):
was in September of two thousand and seven, the twenty
fourth to be exact. Epstein knew back then that it
was possible and even probable that he was going to
have to spend some time behind bars somewhere somehow, and
his attorneys would have told him that they thought, you know,
(09:58):
they could maybe keep him out of state prison. They
could possibly get a more desirable accommodations right there in
Palm Beach at the local jail through their negotiations with
the federal prosecutors. But he was probably going to have
to spend some time in jail. So in anticipation of
that outcome, Epstein and his attorneys hatched to plan. Just
(10:21):
over a month after his September agreement, Epstein created a
new business entity. This was on November one, a business
which he named the Florida Science Foundation. Now I pulled
the state records on the foundation. I have scoured the
(10:42):
internet for articles about the foundation, and I will tell
you that the Florida Science Foundation was not a real business.
It was a fake charity that Epstein used to try
to get a work release from the County jail. He
knew this in advance. He needed to set something up.
(11:04):
And when you hear the details about this charity tomorrow,
you'll see why I'm saying that this whole thing was
bull But during that June thirtieth hearing, Epstein told the
judge that he planned to use his time after he
had served his time in jail. He was going to
(11:24):
use his time to do charitable work through this Florida
Science Foundation, you know. Tooting his horn, he tells her
that his background was in physics. He said, I'm going
to use the Florida Science Foundation to provide grants to
organizations in the fields of science and research because I'm
just such a great guy. But in other words, what
(11:47):
he's saying that he's going to do through this charity
is write checks to various groups that he likes. But
given his long standing links to technology corporations that specialize
in espionage for Israel and for private intelligence agencies, I
suspect that some of Epstein's charitable donations through this foundation
(12:12):
were of very questionable, very dubious character. And we'll talk
more about some of these links between Epstein and the
intelligence tech corporations in another episode. But still, Epstein's story
to the judge was that he's a good guy. He's
(12:32):
got a background in physics despite never having graduated college.
Of course, don't forget that, remember that the most Epstein
ever did related to physics was that he taught some
high school level classes to rich kids for a little while.
But he says he's going to pour his heart into
doing good in the world through this wonderful science charity.
(12:55):
The truth is that Epstein's Florida Science Foundation was no
more legitimate than the Tara Mar charity that Glenne Maxwell
founded some years later. But we'll get into Taramar in
another episode as well. I'll tell you I am just
I have got so much material to go over with you. Guys,
(13:16):
it is going to take We'll probably be doing this
series for at least another month. A lot of information
to go through.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
As I noted previously in the last episode, the judge
in this case is going through all of this and
she asks the state attorney Lana Bellalovic, who's there in court,
if all of Epstein's victims had been properly notified of
(13:47):
the plea agreement because it's required by the Crime Victims'
Rights Act. Have the victims been notified of this plea
agreement that you guys have worked out with Epstein's attorneys, Yes,
or no? Bellaalovic says yes, which was not true because
not one of the victims had been told about the
(14:08):
plea deal. But trusting what she was being told and
having heard no objective objections to the plea agreement from
the attorneys for the victims, remember they were not aware
of the secret deal, the judge goes ahead, accepts the
guilty plea, and she sentences Jeff Epstein to eighteen months
(14:33):
in jail. Now that sentence is just shocking, considering the
fact that the Florida sentencing guidelines for these crimes that
he pled guilty to carried a potential maximum of fifteen
years in state prison, but he gets eighteen months as
(14:54):
a sentence, and he didn't even serve that. He only
served thirteen months. But we'll talk about that. So Judge
Passillo already she also sentenced them to in addition to that,
she sentenced them to a year of house arrest. But
the house arrest was very liberal. He would be able
(15:17):
to go out to work. Really. The only thing that
made it house arrest was that he would have a
nightly curfew. He would be required to be at home
from ten pm to six am the next morning. How
that was a problem for him. Why that was included,
I don't even understand. Because Epstein was committing all of
(15:38):
these crimes in his homes, so restricting him to home
at nighttime really accomplishes nothing, but whatever. Judge also said
that he needed to keep an hourly daily activity log.
So far, I've not been able to find any evidence
(15:59):
that Epstein fulfilled that requirement. I haven't seen any references
in any court documents or any anywhere in articles or
anything referencing this daily activity log. The judge said also
that Epstein was not to possess or view any quote obscene,
(16:21):
pornographic or sexually stimulating material relative to your deviant behavior.
Judge Pacio told Epstein that he was not to contact
the victims in any way. Don't contact them in person,
not by phone, not over social media, don't email them,
(16:43):
don't send them text messages. And she said quote that
means no messages through carrier pigeons, no messages through third parties.
Is that clear? And you know, I'm sure Epstein was
cowering in his boots. So, like I said, Epstein didn't
(17:07):
want to be registered as a sex offender, but the
attorneys weren't able to stop that. The judge did adjudicate
him as a convicted sex offender, which means that after
serving his jail sentence, Epstein would be required to register
in Florida as a sex offender and report in twice
(17:29):
a year. Well after the cases over, after the guilty plea.
After all of this, one of the attorneys, Jeffrey Herman
from Miami, he was representing victims. He tried to put
a positive spin on the outcome. He said that the
(17:50):
guilty plea validated the claims that had been made by
the girls, which is true. He said that it was
good that Epstein would have to register as a sex offender,
but he didn't really have anything positive to say about
the sentencing because it was truly bizarre. It wasn't until
(18:14):
after this day, after June thirtieth into July, after Epstein
had already reported to the local jail. It was only
after this that the victims and the attorneys learned that
the federal and state prosecutors had screwed everybody, that they
had been hiding a secret deal that had been struck
(18:34):
with Epstein behind all their backs. So immediately upon learning
about this deal, the victims attorneys file an emergency position
petition and they cite the violation of the Crime Victim's
Rights Act because the Act makes it clear victims have
the right to be informed about any plea agreements that
(18:57):
are entered into by the criminal offenders who harmed them,
and this act also mandates that the victims have a
right to attend the sentencing of the criminal. But they
were not there for the sentencing. They were not told
they didn't have the option. These young women were victimized
not only by Epstein and his co conspirators and the
(19:19):
hired private eye goons that he sent after them, they
were victimized by his vicious lawyers. But on top of
all that, these girls were victimized by the very government
prosecutors who were supposed to be on their side. All right,
So the sentencing of Epstein takes place Monday, June thirtieth.
(19:42):
He spends his first full day in jail on July one,
two thousand and eight. So jail. It makes me sick.
What Jeff Epstein got away with during his jail sentence
is shockingly deplorable. So in tomorrow's episode, we're going to
go through that period of time and I'll present a
(20:05):
lot of information to you, probably including some material that
you've not heard anywhere else before. So I want you
to make sure and join me again tomorrow night as
we go through that. Until then, this is Jake Morfonios
with the Blackstone Intelligence Report. Thank you for listening. Have
a great night, everyone,

with Epstein behind all their backs. So immediately upon learning
about this deal, the victims attorneys file an emergency position
petition and they cite the violation of the Crime Victim's
Rights Act because the Act makes it clear victims have
the right to be informed about any plea agreements that
(18:57):
are entered into by the criminal offenders who harmed them,
and this act also mandates that the victims have a
right to attend the sentencing of the criminal. But they
were not there for the sentencing. They were not told
they didn't have the option. These young women were victimized
not only by Epstein and his co conspirators and the
(19:19):
hired private eye goons that he sent after them, they
were victimized by his vicious lawyers. But on top of
all that, these girls were victimized by the very government
prosecutors who were supposed to be on their side. All right,
So the sentencing of Epstein takes place Monday, June thirtieth.
(19:42):
He spends his first full day in jail on July one,
two thousand and eight. So jail. It makes me sick.
What Jeff Epstein got away with during his jail sentence
is shockingly deplorable. So in tomorrow's episode, we're going to
go through that period of time and I'll present a
(20:05):
lot of information to you, probably including some material that
you've not heard anywhere else before. So I want you
to make sure and join me again tomorrow night as
we go through that. Until then, this is Jake Morfonios
with the Blackstone Intelligence Report. Thank you for listening. Have
a great night, everyone,
