It's Wednesday, July 16th, 2025.

From Peach Fish Productions, it's the gist.

I'm Mike Peska.

And I'm so allergic to conspiracy theories that maybe I've done a disservice to you, the listener, without tons of Jeffrey Epstein coverage.

I mean, there is a lot curious about Mr. Epstein.

In 2007, he was accused of and eventually convicted of,

recruiting dozens of girls, some as young as 13,

for sex and massages at his Palm Beach Mansion,

and then he took a plea deal,

two counts of solicitation of prostitution, one with a minor

under 18.

You might think that that was a big deal.

But he was given immunity from federal prosecution.

He served 13 months in a county jail and spent his days on work relief in his Palm Beach office.

And the guy who authored that deal with the government

at the time went on to be Donald Trump's first secretary of labor, Alex Acosta. That is curious,

is it not? How did Epstein get his money? I don't know. Did Epstein kill himself? This is where

the conspiracy resistant part of me kicks in. I really don't think so.

It's show there is no evidence that he did.

But, you know, it's a good story.

And sometimes a good story is just fun to follow or important to follow.

Without people being obsessed with this story, Epstein wouldn't have been subject to additional charges by New York
