Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein, Jean Luc Brunel And The Mc2 Trap (9/11/26)

0:00Earlier today, we talked a little bit about the building that Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, supposedly owns on 66th Street in New York. And within that building, we talked a little bit about how the modeling agency, MC2, which Jeffrey Epstein provided the seed money to start up with John Luke Brunel, well, they also had some apartments there and an office. Now, I thought that we would add a little more context to the MC2 angle and talk a little bit more about their connection to some of the players within the retail world and some of the bigger companies that worked with them to provide them models. And we're not talking about just before Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, folks. We're talking about after. And it doesn't take more than a very basic Google search of Jeffrey Epstein and John Luke Brunel to understand the sort of people you're doing business with. And my question is, why would these people be involved with any sort

1:02of business ties with a company like MC2 that has such close connections to Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, he started the company with the seed money with Brunel. So of all the modeling agencies out there, why would these big retailers continue to use a company like MC2? It boggles my mind. And nobody can ever answer those kinds of questions, right? These companies that we're going to talk about, they never return emails, they never talk about what went on. They just figure if they ignore it, that it'll all go away. And people will, you know, they'll lose interest in it and they'll they'll stop asking questions. And I guess that's how it works with some of these outlets in the legacy media, right? The 24 hour news cycle, they got to have something so you know, something every night for them to run that's going to, you know, be a headline grabber. And getting down into the context of these sort of stories and down into the actual weeds to learn all of the facts, it doesn't resonate with the resonate with these outlets a lot of times, you know, they do drive

2:06by coverage and they leave it up to us, the audience or independent content creators to chase down the rest of the story, to figure out the context, to figure out the nuance of it. And so that's what we're going to do tonight. We're going to add a little more context to MC2 and we're going to talk about just how prevalent they were working with some of the biggest retailers in the business. This article was published by business insider and the headline is major retailers including Nordstrom, Macy's and JC Penney's reportedly joined Victoria's Secret in using a modeling agency with ties to Jeffrey Epstein. This article was published by Bethany Behron and it came out on August 19, 2019. It's a good question. Why would these retailers do business with an agency that has ties to Epstein? And it's not like Epstein was operating completely in the dark where nobody knew who he was or had

3:08any idea that he was involved with MC2 or Jean-Luc Brunel. It wasn't like people didn't know that. So how could they possibly use that excuse? Oh, we didn't know what he was involved in or we had no idea the scope of the crimes. It's such a cop out. It's such BS and all of these companies that were involved with these people, they should be called out on that. That shouldn't be allowed to fly because it's a cop out and it's BS. In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's death, discoveries of his wide-ranging ties to the retail industry only continue to grow. And again, I don't know how much of a discovery it was, right? How can people not know that Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel were very tight and they were close, they were business associates, and that Epstein ceded the original million dollars to get this company off the ground. How do people not know that? A basic Google search will show you that. Hey, all of these companies, they're not wise enough to do some basic research on people they're going into business with, people that are

4:11going to represent their brand. You're telling me they're not that smart? Well, if that's the case, then it's no wonder that all of these brick and mortar retailers are going out of business, because if they can't figure out that Jeffrey Epstein's a scumbag and Jean-Luc Brunel is no better, well, I don't know how they're going to balance a budget. Bloomberg reported on Monday that MC2 model management, the modeling agency accused of supplying underage women to Epstein's alleged sex trafficking operation, worked with several major retailers beyond Victoria's secret. And, you know, it's par for the course. Anyone who thinks that Jeffrey Epstein didn't have ties with to all of these people, they're being very naive. Anybody who was a power player in New York City at the very least bump shoulders with Epstein at some point, he was in sconce in those circles. He was always around the polite society crowd that I'm always talking about. He was always, always around those kinds of people. So, the executives who worked for these companies, you mean to tell me that these

5:16executives have no idea what sort of animal Jean-Luc Brunel is or the sort of animal Jeffrey Epstein was. Considering, during the 80s, there was a special run in the United States about Jean-Luc Brunel raping models. So, you're going to tell me that nobody had the good sense to do some research into the people that you're going into business with. It's either that, you're too inept to even do basic research or you knew the score and you just didn't care. According to a letter sent to Bloomberg by Brunel's business partner, Jeff Fuller, MC2's client roster also included Nordstrom, Macy's, Saxvith Avenue, Neiman Marcus, JC Penny, Coles, Target, Sears, and Belk. Fuller said he had warned MC2 owner Jean-Luc Brunel about Brunel's ties to Epstein, writing in the letter that he told Brunel in 2014 that he had received a tremendous amount of worry from our clients. Just about

6:18Epstein though, come on. That's ridiculous. Again, I just said that Brunel was accused of rape on American television. I forget it was Dateline or Primetime TV, whatever the show was in the 80s. It escapes my mind right now. But he was accused on that show of raping models. He's been accused of all sorts of disgusting acts throughout his whole entire career as a modeling scout. For his partner here, Mr. Fuller, to say, oh, well, I warned him about the ties to Epstein. Well, what about your ties to Brunel and Brunel being an epic scumbag as well? So, you know, it's pretty gross anyway you chop it. Here's an idea you shouldn't be involved with anyone like Jean-Luc Brunel or Jeffrey Epstein in any capacity. Personal or business related. Brunel's connection to Epstein stems from at least 2002 when Flight Log show Brunel flew from Florida

7:18to the Bahamas on Epstein's private plane. Brunel also reportedly visited Epstein in jail while the while a pedophile was serving a 13-month sentence for his involvement in an underage prostitution case in 2008. Again, I must point out, underage girls cannot be prostitutes, okay? Why these articles would write these pieces like that is beyond me. And you see a lot of a lot more of it back in the beginning of the case when these articles were first coming out. You see them use that kind of language a lot more than they do now. So at least it's a step in the right direction. But it always bothers me when I see that underage prostitution. There's zero chance that that can occur, okay? And as far as Brunel goes visiting Jeffrey Epstein while he was in jail, not only that, there's all sorts of talk that he was living inside Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach Mansion while Epstein was in the Husqaw. So again, I find it ridiculous that these huge gigantic corporations that

8:22background check their employees even didn't have the good sense to background check people they were getting into business with. Really what it comes down to and in my opinion what it is, they don't care. The end of the day, money makes the world go around and being involved with somebody like Epstein and Brunel, if that can elevate your brand or you can get models cheaper or whatever it may be, hey, go for it. That's all these executives care about. These people don't care about you or I. These are the robber barons that I'm talking about. These dudes are funding our feudal lords, aka our politicians. And everybody's just okay with it. Everybody's walking around, heading the clouds, no big deal. And it was like that for a long time because the media was gaslighting the hill out of everybody. The media was continuously running all kinds of BS narratives. And now that people can connect with each other and they can get news from other places, that stuff is over, right? Nobody's fallen for their BS anyway. It's not clear how extensively or for how long the retailers worked with

9:30MC2, but the connections draw fresh scrutiny to the relationship retailers have with the modeling industry, which is largely unregulated Bloomberg wrote. We've talked about that in some previous articles as well. There's like zero regulation within that industry. And I'm certainly not some sort of expert on the fashion industry or the modeling industry, but there needs to be some sort of oversight and some sort of regulation that provides some protection for these young girls. These are very vulnerable young girls, right? They're already wearing skippy clothing in some aspects, doing swimsuit modeling or whatever it may be. And they're being vulnerable in that regard. And they're also vulnerable to these sick ass predators like Brunelle. So there has to be some sort of oversight in my opinion, especially with underage girls, like a parent onset all times. I don't know. Whatever it may be, there's people smarter than me that can come up with that. But in my opinion, there has to be some sort of oversight with these modeling agencies. Retailers often work with several modeling agencies using a casting director to determine who to book for fashion

10:35shows, catalog shoots, and other projects. I think that would be pretty interesting to find out just exactly who the casting director is for MC2 or was for MC2 during all of this. I'm going to look into that and see what I can come up with. Further, Bloomberg reported that a Nordstrom executive was involved in sponsoring Brunelle's application for an O1 visa. Isn't that nice? Well, there you go. There's your tie. So you're telling me this lady sponsored Brunelle, right? This executive sponsors Brunelle. And she has no idea who he is, what he's up to, what he's been accused of in the past, what he's still doing, the company he keeps. She had no idea, huh? Pretty interesting. According to the US citizenship and immigration services, this work permit is granted to the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television

11:36industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements. I mean, really, this is who you sponsor Nordstrom executive. This is who you step out onto the ledge for. This is who you vouch for. It's unbelievable. So she's going to come forward and vouch for this clown when everybody knows who he is. And then MC2 is also going to get business from Nordstroms where this person sits on the board. I mean, come on. According to Bloomberg, Nordstrom last worked with MC2 in January 2017, though the retailer declined to comment for the story. Of course, they didn't comment. They know that they look like garbage in this in this instance. They know that working with Jeffrey Epstein's partner all the way up till 2017 is not a good look. So they'll just they'll just keep quiet. They'll just be silent about everything. And they'll try and wait it out,

12:38like I said. Meanwhile, everybody understands everybody knows that these retailers, these executives, these board members, they don't care about the rest of us. They don't care about nothing but increasing their power and making more money. It's pathetic. Honestly, look, I'm not somebody that knocks people for success. I think that the fact that all of us in the United States of America, especially are able to chase their dreams, whichever way they want. And then if you succeed, you're able to cash in on those dreams. I think that's a good thing. But at what point do you get rid of your moral compass in in in in in a in place of greed? Right? Where do you trade your your moral compass for greed? You see you see it time and time again in these stories we talk about with these executive, these billionaires, and it's just it's gross. It's just so gross. I'm just skeptical. I at this point, if you're part of New York, so-called polite society and you're super rich, I am absolutely skeptical of who you are. And I believe that the onus is on you to prove you're not

13:41a scumbag at this point because everything we have read leading up to this point, all of the articles that them and mind you, these are the articles that the mainstream outlets are producing that we read on the podcast. We're not searching out some sort of obscure article on info wars or some other crazy ass site. We don't do that here, right? So we're using their own articles. And you know, it's it's crazy to see. It's just crazy to see how this whole thing is unfolded as we've covered it. Business insider did not immediately receive responses to requests for comment from Nordstrom's Macy's, Sax 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus, JC Penny, Coles, Target, Sears, and Belk. Yeah, again, like the like I said a second ago, there's no way they're going to answer because they know they're going to look bad. It's a bad look for them and they want nothing to do with looking that terrible. The optics are already bad. But if you open your mouth, you just make things much worse. Just ask Prince Andrew, AKA the Joe exotic of the Windsor family, how that worked out for him.

14:48Victoria's Secret has already been embroiled in controversy after news arose that Elbran's CEO, X CEO, boy, it feels good to say that, huh? Les Wexner had ties to Epstein and had formally employed the pedophile as his money manager. Though Wexner claims to have severed ties with Epstein 12 years ago, Victoria's Secret continued to use MC2 models for in its 2015 fashion show as well in catalog and website photography. Oh, I bet you that would be an interesting look for a forensic accountant, huh? How much of that money funneled back to Jeffrey Epstein? How much of that money was washed? How much of that money was legit? How much of that money was taxed? How much of that money can be traced back to good old Les Wexner, him and his wife and their charities and all of the other nonsense that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in? How much of this money can be traced back there? Because like I told you, several times now, if you trace the drugs, you find the drug dealer.

15:52If you trace the money, you find the distributor and whoever else is involved at the top. And the same works here. You got to follow that money, follow the money, and if you follow the money, you're going to eventually come to a place where you're going to expose the whole entire thing. If you'd like to contact me, you could do that at bobbycapucci at protonmail.com. That's bio, bbycapucci at protonmail.com. You can, we're going to keep pulling on this Jean-Luc Brunel thread. And today we're going to talk about his ties to Steve Manuchin. Steve Manuchin is currently the treasure secretary in Donald Trump's administration. And a guy that has always run in these circles, right? He was producing movies, always had big bucks, and has always been rubbing elbows with people in so-called polite society. But isn't it strange that so many people in so-called polite society have these ties to Jeffrey

16:57Epstein and his toe-dass associates? It's all just a big coincidence though, right? That's what they would have you believe. But in reality, folks, both sides of the aisle, all of our leaders, everybody held up on a pedestal, seems to be a scumbag. And the sooner we understand that as a populist, the sooner we stop arguing with each other about which turd smells less like shit, the better off we're all going to be. But as of now, we've fallen right into their trap. They want you to hate your neighbor, they want you to hate your cousin, they want you to hate your friends, all for what reason? So we're easier to control. That's what this is all about, folks. Do you doubt it? We're talking about the CIA here, okay? The same people who brought in Japanese scientists who were engaging in biological experiments on human beings. Look up Unit 3731.

18:03Now, what about all of the Nazis that they brought in to help them out? And they just expunged all their records because guess what? It's for their greater good. The means justifies the end. And we see it over and over again throughout history. These are the same people, the CIA, the intelligence agencies, the FBI, our politicians. That were okay with bringing in these war criminals from Japan and Germany. Because you know, the greater good know. These are the same people that are busy protecting Jeffrey Epstein throughout the decades. So again, they don't have a track record of being honest or honorable, the intelligence agencies. In fact, it's the complete opposite. And then you add in all of these dumb ass rich billionaires that are so willing to be involved with these scumbags and you have a recipe for disaster. And that is exactly where we

19:05are, folks. Both sides of the aisle, both groups of politicians and everybody in between is busy gaslighting us. They're so, they're so concerned about making sure that the populist is always looking for a boogie man so that we don't see what they're doing behind the curtain. And when you read articles like this with Steve Manuchin, Acosta, then on the other side, you have Bill Clinton, you have Ron Berkel, it goes on and on, right? The point is, if you're sitting at the buffet of confirmation bias, especially with this case, and you think it's just one side or the other, you are doing yourself a disservice and you are doing the case a disservice. Both sides of the aisle, Democrat, Republican,

20:06and all of the intelligence services and all of their minions, they all hold responsibility for what happened in this Jeffrey Epstein case. Remember, folks, for different presidencies, this has happened under four administrations and still no arrests. Well, today, today is Steve Manuchin's turn to have the spotlight put on him. And for the questions to be asked, why were you involved in a relationship, business or otherwise with John Luke Brunel? Today's article is from the Daily Beast and the author is Emily Sugarman. And again, the Daily Beast has done great work here, folks. Emily Sugarman has done fantastic work. Kate Bricklellett has done incredible work. She's a very good journalist. And you know, the list goes on over here at the Daily Beast. And for me, I might not agree with their politics

21:08in some regard and some articles, but I don't care about any of that. All I care about is that they're being truthful when it comes to this story, that they're doing their due diligence when it comes to this story and that they're holding people to account because you see, that's what journalists are supposed to do. They're supposed to hold people in power to account, not cover for them. Headline, Steve Manuchin's mysterious link to Creepy Epstein Model Scout. Author, Emily Sugarman. In the late 1980s, before he was a member of Donald Trump's cabinet, or even a high-rolling hedge fund manager, Treasury Secretary Stephen Manuchin served in an official capacity for a business run by one of Jeffrey Epstein's most infamous associates. How has Manuchin not had to answer for this? I mean, this is a serious situation. He has to answer for his relationship with John Luke Brinnell. In official records, Manuchin is listed as the

22:12official state point of contact for next management corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling, industry insiders, John Luke Brinnell, and Arnod Brinnell. At the time, John Luke Brinnell had just been the subject of a 60-minute documentary accusing him of drugging and raping at least three models. Later, he would be accused by two women of supply and girls to Epstein to be sexually abused. Brinnell has denied the allegations, so not only was Manuchin involved with this scumbag clown, it was right around the same time that the allegations were first breaking that John Luke Brinnell was drugging and raping girls. And yet, Steve Manuchin thinks it's a good idea to engage in business with this man. He thinks it's a good idea to be involved as a front for this company or as point of contact for the next management corporation, really? Records accessed by the Daily Beast List Manuchin as the New York Department of State Process for

23:13Next Management Corporation. According to Department officials, the DOS process is the person who files a company's registration papers and receives lawsuits and other official documents on their behalf, usually a lawyer or some other legal representative. So, Manuchin was in charge of receiving any sort of lawsuit or document on the behalf of John Luke Brinnell's company next, and this isn't a bigger story. More people aren't talking about this. Look, people like Steve Manuchin and the rest of these billionaires, I don't want them in presidential cabinets. I don't want them in public office. You need to tell me there's nobody better to be in the Treasury Department secretary than this man. We have no better people to do this job in a country of 300 and what, 60 million people. I'm sorry, but I don't buy that. And furthermore, I'm pretty sick and tired

24:15of all of these billionaires sliding into these presidential cabinet positions with no sort of experience at statesmanship. A Treasury Department official said Manuchin did not know he was listed as the TOS process for next management corporation before the Daily Beast Inquiry. He said it was not clear how Manuchin wound up serving in that role and added that the secretary did not recall ever meeting either Brunelle brother and had never done business with either of them. Oh yeah, your name just magically appeared. On the document, it just showed up one day on the document. You know what, your pen, your crossman pen, dot up and walked from your desk and went and signed the paperwork. Is that what you would have us believe there? Mr. Manuchin. How is it? How aren't more people digging into this? How come these aren't questions that are being asked at a huge rate and a fast clip? Manuchin's office did confirm that he was longtime friends with

25:20Faith Cates, the owner of the next modeling agency. Well, how about that? Does it shock you that he's great friends with Faith Cates? Another one of Jeffrey Epstein's confidence. Another person that procured girls for Jeffrey Epstein. Did the Trump transition team even bother to do their job or where they just like, all right, whoever wants a job, come on down. You guys want a job? Come on down. That's basically what it looks like. Did they call like a service, an employment service to get these cabinet positions, uh, it filled? This is the best we got, huh? Steve Manuchin is the best we have. The best America has to offer for this position. If that's the case, folks, then forget it. We're done as a civilization. We might as well pack it in now and call it a day. The Brunell brothers co-founded the next agency with Cates in 1989 and their company next

26:21management corporation owned a 25% stake in the agency for several years. The address listed under Manuchin's name is the State Department Records is the first address for Cates company next management company. So again, he can say he doesn't know Brunell or his brother. He can act like he has no idea or anything like, uh, or anything about any of this, but the reality is we know the truth. The evidence is right here. Your name just doesn't appear on a document like this Steve Manuchin. Reached by the Daily Beast, Cates denied any involvement with setting up next management corporation and said she had nothing to do with Manuchin serving as the DOS process. Nobody knows anything. They can't hear nothing. They saw nothing. They know nothing. How dare you for even asking? Don't you know that? I'm faith Cates. Given that, she never designated anyone, including Secretary Manuchin to be DOS process or any officer or director of next management

27:24corp. Again, I guess his name was just picked out of a hat. They were like, you know what, let's go through the yellow pages. We'll write down some names and let's just yank one of them out of a hat. Really, you think that's what occurred or do you think that Mr. Manuchin is not being honest with us? The spokesperson added that Cates agency sued next management corporation 25 years ago over allegations that the Brunell brothers had rated the agency and said Cates had not had any contact with them since then. She said Cates had no knowledge of why her company's address was listed in official records for next management corporation. I mean, really, you don't know why your company's listed, huh? Well, maybe it's the fact that, you know, Jeffrey Epstein and your boy there, Jean-Luc Brunell, were pony and updo to you. Maybe it's the fact that they were closer to you than you would like to admit. And maybe it's the fact that what you're trying to do now is nothing but damage control. You ever think about that? Miss Cates? Cates has her own connections to

28:25Epstein as the Daily Beast previously reported. Former employees say the finance here, petafile, regularly dropped in on the agency's New York offices and tax filing show he donated tens of thousands of dollars to charities connected to Cates and her family. At least two former next models have been romantically linked to Epstein and a third appears in his infamous address book. A spokesperson for Cates said neither she nor the next agency had any business or financial ties to Epstein and that Cates never introduced the finance here, petafile, to any models that is such a lie. That is such a lie we read earlier that the employees said something completely different, that there'd always be a girl waiting for them there. That Brunell would send girls there to wait for Epstein, therefore acting as a hub for human trafficking. And this is what Steve Manuchin's name's on. This is what Steve Manuchin was involved in. We got to do better, America. Come on, we have to do better. And when I say we have to do better, believe me, I don't mean Joe Biden,

29:25okay? We have to do better, selecting our candidates, selecting the people that are going to govern us. Manuchin has been friends with Cates for approximately 30 years according to the Treasury Department official and once helped Cates set up a business as a friend. Boy, that's nice. I wish I had some friends that would come over and help me set up some businesses without expecting anything. I'm sure that Mr. Manuchin didn't expect anything from Cates if he was setting up the business for. He's just a friend. A spokesperson for Cates confirmed the two had been friendly for decades. She said Manuchin had offered Cates business advice when she started next management company and served as a real estate broker. Man, Manuchin is a man of many talents real estate broker, treasure secretary, hedge fund manager. Guy that signs for John Luke Brunell, I guess he got that to his resume as well. Manuchin spokesperson said the secretary had no ownership in any of

30:25Cates businesses or serve them in any business capacity. The records say differently. And if it's not the case, then who's committing fraud by putting their name down there, sir? The Daily Beast was unable to read John Luke or R.N. Brunell for comment. The ties between John Luke Brunell and Epstein, however, have been widely reported. Flight records show Brunell flew on the on the pedophiles private plane more than 20 times between 1999 and 2005. And how staff said in depositions that the modeling agent was a regular presence at Epstein's Palm Beach estate. So just for context for a second, Brunell flew on the plane 20 times between 1999 and 2005. Good old Bill, my Guamad is D-Layne Maxwell, he flew on the plane at least 26 times according to reports. So again, if you think this is just one side of the aisle, if you think it's just the Republicans or you think it's just the Democrats,

31:27well, you're wrong. When Epstein was arrested in 2008, Brunell visited him nearly 70 times in jail. I don't even think I've had my friends come and visit visit me at my house 70 times. Never mind in jail. One of Epstein's first public accusers, Virginia Roberts claimed Epstein forced her to sleep with Brunell and many other powerful men in the years he kept her as his prisoner. She also accused Brunell of using his modeling industry connections to supply Epstein and other wealthy men with foreign girls to abuse. And we know for a fact that this was occurring. Not only the very credible statements of Virginia, but we have all of the other corroborating evidence here, the employees, etc., etc. I mean, the cops from Reno 9-1-1 could prosecute this case. A former bookkeeper for one of Brunell's agencies told the FBI in 2010 that Brunell used the

32:31company to bring in teenage models from around the world and house them in Epstein's upper Eastside apartment. The bookkeeper claimed the girls were loaned out to wealthy clients for as much as $100,000 a night and were not paid if they were refused to be molested. We talked about that earlier and it just defies reason that these disgusting ass so-called members of polite society are willing to pay $100,000 a night to abuse these girls. What in the F is wrong with these people? I mean, are they all inbred in suffering from some sort of mental deficiency? French authorities are currently seeking Brunell as part of their probe into Epstein, and recently interviewed two women who say there were victims of the modeling agent in the late 70s and early 80s according to French newspaper La Paris-Saint. Brunell has denied all claims of sexual misconduct as well as any knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoings. In legal filings, he said the

33:32former bookkeeper had been fired from his agency for inbezzling company funds. Yeah, it's always the same story, right? Oh, this one's lying. That one's lying. I'm the only one telling the truth. Meanwhile, you're the biggest scumbag in the room, Mr. Brunell, and I wouldn't believe you if you told me the sun was going to rise tomorrow. I strongly deny having participated neither directly, nor indirectly in the actions Mr. Jeffrey Epstein is being accused of. Brunell said in 2015 statement, I strongly deny having committed any illicit or any wrongdoing in the course of my work as a scouter or a model agency's manager. Yes, okay, sure. Right. Just like Baghdad Bob said that the American troops weren't on their, they weren't in Baghdad, right, during the Iraq invasion. That's basically what you look like, Mr. Brunell. Oh, yeah, nothing to see here. Meanwhile, there's evidence that's mounted up, piled high all around you so high that you'll suffocate in it if you walk into a room. And you mean to tell us that you had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,

34:35huh? You of all people had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, sir, the evidence and many, many different girls and witnesses, they all say you're a liar. And guess what? I believe them. If you'd like to contact me, you can do that at Bobby Kapuchi at protonmail.com. That's B-O-B-B-Y underscores capu cci at protonmail.com. You can also find me on Twitter at b-o-B-B-Y underscores capu cci. What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. I know there's a lot of talk about Kalayan Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein right now. But understand who Jeffrey Epstein was and understand how he was able to do what he did. You have to know about one of the key players that's not even being talked about by the legacy media.

35:36And that key player is Jean-Luc Brunel. Now Jean-Luc Brunel was a model scout who worked for a Karen models previously. And then after meeting Epstein, he opened his own company called MC and his partner in that venture was none other than Jeffrey Epstein. And the reason that Jeffrey Epstein provided the money to Jean-Luc Brunel to get this all off the ground and started is because it gave him that pipeline directly to these aspiring models that were coming through and coming over from other countries, Brazil, Eastern Europe, Ecuador, Guatemala, you name it. And they were coming to America to try and become models. But instead they'd come here and they'd be farmed out by Jean-Luc Brunel and some of the girls, depending on what their level was, depending on how well they were thought of by Jean-Luc Brunel and the people around them. While those girls, they'd get to go live with Jeffrey Epstein. Oh and by the way, those girls I'm talking about. 14, 15, 16 years old. And all of them

36:43were foreigners. And you know when I talk about the girls with no names, this is what I'm talking about. And after we do this bit of a reintroduction of Jean-Luc Brunel to the conversation, we're going to move to a deposition that was given early on about Jean-Luc Brunel, Jeffrey Epstein and MC Squared. And you'll get a better idea of what I'm talking about. Because like usual, I don't go with the just trust me, bro, shit. I show up with receipts. This article was published by the Daily Mail and the headline, Jeffrey Epstein's French Connection. Jean-Luc Brunel, model scout friend of billionaire pedophile, is accused of raping model and supplying girls to American sex-lavering. Well, yeah, that was his job. He was the pipeline, the conduit. And he was the other piece of the puzzle that could have really blew things wide open. Nocklaine Maxwell. Do you think it's a coincidence that the two people that could have led us directly where we needed to go are both dead now? This article was authored by Jessica Green.

37:47Three former models said they were sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein's associate Jean-Luc Brunel. Alligations and misconduct against the French model scout 72 date back decades, but he is face no action and is now back in the headlines as attention turns to friends of the deceased billionaire sex offender. And Jean-Luc Brunel has been able to operate under the radar for the most part. Unless you're somebody who's followed the story and somebody who's followed along with how this is all broke, chances are you're not really aware of who Jean-Luc Brunel is and what he was up to. But he was a man that was responsible for that revolving door of young girls coming in and out of Jeffrey Epstein's house in New York for sure. He was also the one who was in charge of placing those girls in various apartments and locations throughout New York City, especially the building at E66. She also claimed she was forced to have sex with the scout numerous times in Epstein's home, but Brunel is denied both allegations. Oh yeah, Jean-Luc

38:51Brunel missed her co-catic himself. I mean it's hard to find somebody as smarmy as Epstein, but Jean-Luc Brunel is right there with him. We're talking about a disgusting, degenerate mother-fucker. A dude that was rapin' models, a dude that was bringin' 14-year-old girls as presents to Jeffrey Epstein, and I'm not even kidding when I say this, but Jean-Luc Brunel led a lot of these girls directly into the belly of the beast. And he's somebody that I've said from the beginning is even more culpable than Golanne Maxwell. I think that Jean-Luc Brunel was somebody that really had the keys, somebody that was going to the meetings, somebody that was playing the real middleman. Golanne Maxwell, she was the groomer, right? Her job was to make sure all the girls felt comfortable. Her and her stupid ass, high-posh ass accent, and the way that she normalized everything, that was her role. Well, Jean-Luc Brunel, his role was something completely different. And this is a man that spent most of his time traveling the world to fill that pipeline,

39:52to feed Jeffrey Epstein, and his own desires. And that's not my opinion. That's a fact. Several associates Epstein's who died in a parent's suicide in New York jail last week, age 66, are facing renewed scrutiny from US investigators according to the Guardian. And three former models told the publication that they were sexually assaulted by Brunel, in and nearby Paris throughout the 80s, and the 90s. I can only imagine what this dude was up to in Brazil, what he was up to in Guatemala, what he was up to in Ecuador, what he was up to in places like Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia, you name it. Anywhere there was suffering, you can bet your ass that this piece of shit Jean-Luc Brunel would be close by. They thrived on it, pain, suffering, people that were in situations that were untenable. Sure, I'll give you 10 grand for your daughter. That's the kind of shit these pieces of garbage did. And nobody's talking about

40:54Jean-Luc Brunel's bitch ass and the fact that he died in prison too. You want to talk about conspiracies? You want to jump down some rabbit holes? I promise you that it'll be more fruitful than talking about adrenal chrome and people being locked in Gitmo Bay. Brunel, his attorney, and MC squared the Miami-based model agency he founded, reportedly with backing from Epstein, did not respond to requests for comment from the newspaper. In 2015, Brunel denied involvement directly or indirectly in Epstein's crimes, telling the Guardian, I strongly deny having committed any illicit act or any wrongdoing in the course of my work as a scouter or a model agency's manager, meanwhile over a dozen people have come forward saying that he molested them, that he raped them, that he did unspeakable things to them. And never mind the girls with no names. And when we talk about Jean-Luc Brunel, that's really what I'm talking about. How many poor girls were dragged into this nightmare

41:55by Jean-Luc Brunel and delivered directly to the belly of the beast? Countless numbers, I wish I had a number to give you, I wish I had an estimate to give you, I don't. All I can tell you is that the number is ungodly and it needs to be a bigger topic of the conversation. MC2 also denied any connection to Epstein's crimes and previously said Brunel no longer actively worked with the firm, despite the scout saying he still owned it in a 2015 legal case, which remains open. And I have a whole deposition by somebody who worked directly for Jean-Luc Brunel at MC Squared. And what you hear in this deposition I promise you is going to have you asking yourself how the fuck could this all go down with nobody being the wiser? And then inevitably you're going to come to the conclusion I would guess that there's no way that people didn't know. There's too many moving parts here and too much going on, especially financially,

42:56for people not to know that something was amiss. Brunel firmly established himself as one of the fashion industries top players in the 1980s, when working as a scout at the Karen Models Agency in the French capital. He claims to have launched the careers of Jerry Hall, Angie Everhart, and Christy Turlington, some of the most popular models of the era. Fame for his lively parties, you have lively parties on. It was such a one evening in September 1991 that Tissia Huismann then aged 18 began feeling light headed after being given a drink by Brunel. The Dutch model who was staying at Brunel's apartment near the Karen Headquarters on Avenue Housh was then allegedly taken to his bedroom. Well that's how he operated. This piece of garbage, piece of shit motherfucker, that's what he did. He'd get these girls faded, give them drugs, whatever, and then eat molestin and rinse and repeat. Time and time again, every trip he was on, this dude was molesting people.

43:58And you want to talk about somebody as prolific as Jeffrey Epstein? Well, in my opinion, Jean-Luc Brunel's it. I recall him lying on top of me, me trying to push him off, she said in an interview. I remember trying to move, but not being able to, like almost being paralyzed. I heard the sound of my blouse, a black blouse, ripping. I had a black skirt too. I felt him, this is difficult between my legs and pushing. The rest, twice, men said, was a blur and the next morning she woke up in a kimono that didn't belong to her, with bruises on her inner thighs. And we have heard this same story about Jean-Luc Brunel from multiple people. I felt like we had sex, the now 46-year-old said I knew I know. Disoriented the model quickly gathered her belongings and fled the apartment for the train station. Weaseman didn't report the incident to police, but would eventually tell her current partner who confirmed to the Washington Post that she explained the full story around two

45:02years ago after revealing some details six years prior. And look, you can't really take that for much, right? It's embarrassing as fuck. A lot of people don't come forward and ever talk about their abuse, especially back then. There was no internet to go to, right? No social media, nobody to back you up. If the media didn't pick up your story, forget it. And chances are, the media is not going to pick it up because they're friends with the person you're accusing. So yeah, I'm not shocked for a second. That she didn't go to the authorities. A second former model, now 55 from America, spoken anonymously to the Guardian, to alleged that Brunel assaulted her outside Paris after scouting her in 1984. She recalled being alone with the Frenchman on a night out after he falsely told her they were going to meet other people. She believes they drove to a fountain blue southeast of the capital to a grand estate with big iron gates. He got undressed, put on a towering robe, and took a shower, she said. He kept being all over me,

46:06and I was trying to fight him off. He was grabbing my breasts and my crotch. I kept trying to talk to him and say, why are you doing this? I don't want to do this. The former model claims to have fled by climbing out of a window onto the ledge and staying there for the remainder of the night as Brunel slept. She said she told a roommate about the incident and an aunt who died in recent years. The former model didn't tell her parents as they would have been devastated. A third model, Courtney Sorenson, from Stoneboro, Pennsylvania headed to Paris in April 1988 at age 19. In an interview, she alleged that Brunel subjected her to several incidents of unwanted touching, hounded her for sex, and ruined her career once she rejected him. He would get very handsy, start crowding me, try to kiss me, try to get me to lay down on the bed, just to try it out, recalled Sorenson, who now lives in California. He would try to untuck my shirt, wanting to see my abs, he would grab my breasts and put his hand on my bottom.

47:09There was one time where he rubbed himself up against me. She first publicly accused Brunel more than 30 years ago during an interview for CBS 60-Minute Show, working on a story titled American Girls in Paris. The broadcaster has declined to release the recording of the transcript of the December 1988 story with a spokesman for the program, Kevin Tedesco, this week saying that story is still on legal hold. Oh, isn't that nice, huh? Look, the system has protected people like Jean-Luc Brunel for years and years and years. And his connection to Jeffrey Epstein has only heightened that and helped him out along the way. Despite Epstein being jailed in Florida for 13 months after pleading to procuring an underage girl for prostitution, Brunel's friendship with the sex offenders survived. He visited Epstein in prison in 2008, according to court reports. However, by 2015, Brunel sued Epstein claiming

48:12he and MC2 lost multiple contracts and business in the modeling business as a result of Epstein's illegal actions. And we'll talk about that lawsuit a little bit more later on, but I feel like that was all employee. Kind of to help Jeffrey Epstein out a little bit? Well, you sue me and it'll look like we aren't friends, and therefore it'll look like I had nothing to do with MC2, and you'll be able to protect yourself too. Say what you want about Jeffrey Epstein, but do not ever underestimate his deviousness. This is a man who has no doubt a sick and twisted son of a bitch. But he knew the game, and he knew what he was doing, and he knew how to manipulate people into doing what he wanted them to do, and the key cog and all of that when it comes to all these girls that were staying at Epstein's house, that were being trafficked, that were being brought in, look no further than Jean-Luc Brunel. And while Jean-Luc Brunel might be dead, this newfound interest in Jeffrey Epstein has brought his story back to life. And like I said in

49:14the opening, I think it's crucial that you understand who Jean-Luc Brunel is because he's one of the key parts of what Epstein was up to. And I think by the time that we're done talking about Jean-Luc Brunel and his role within Epstein's organization, it'll be clear that Jean-Luc Brunel wasn't just some recruiter, but a key component in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire. All right folks, that's going to do it for this one, but have no fear, like usual, plenty more is on the way. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
