Brock Pierce—child actor turned Bitcoin billionaire—exchanged emails with Jeffrey Epstein about 'Ukraine's finest' on a boat in Antigua.

1. Puestos pa' la Mañana, a Puerto Rico morning radio program on Radio Isla 1320, devotes its February 2, 2026 edition to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl slot, the Epstein document release, Puerto Rico's fiscal crisis, and Caribbean Series baseball. 2. The episode features at least two recurring co-hosts whose voices drive the conversation; no external guests are introduced by name in the available transcript. 3. The episode's core thesis is that Puerto Rico is experiencing a rare cultural-political moment—Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, Epstein documents naming the island, and a governor whose signature domestic policy just publicly collapsed. 4. The hosts argue Bad Bunny's latest album contains 17 tracks that deliberately reference Puerto Rican musical traditions—plena, salsa, and the cuatro—and that this has measurably increased international bookings for Gilberto Santa Rosa and others. 5. They connect Bad Bunny's Super Bowl appearance to the Yo Te Quiero Puerto Rico campaign launched by the governor, arguing cultural pride and political affiliation need not be contradictory. 6. A New York Times Sunday edition (Dominguero) was entirely dedicated to Bad Bunny, and one of its culture reporters claimed the artist plans to keep his performance musical while posting a separate pre-made political statement after leaving the stage. 7. The hosts transition to the Jeffrey Epstein DOJ document dump, noting the Justice Department this time mounted the files in a searchable database—a change from previous releases. 8. A search for 'Puerto Rico' in the database surfaced: two Puerto Rico bank accounts, a 2006 meeting between Epstein and then-Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá at La Fortaleza (referred by New Mexico governor Bill Richardson), and a banking license issued in 2016 by Puerto Rico's OSIF regulator to SOIS Financial. 9. The hosts link SOIS Financial's license to Cypress Inc., the company that held all of Epstein's real estate properties and paid property taxes in Puerto Rico, and note wire transfers to Puerto Rico accounts with property-tax notations. 10. Call logs in the documents show dozens of contacts to the San Juan metro area—Isla Verde, Condado, and Old San Juan—between 2000 and 2005, suggesting Puerto Rico served as a financial and logistical base. 11. Journalist 'Vaquero2XL' (identified as Carlos) was first to notice an email chain from November-December 2018 between Epstein and Brock Pierce, the child actor from The Mighty Ducks franchise who became a Bitcoin billionaire. 12. Pierce's emails invite Epstein to connect over Puerto Rico investment and mention a boat trip in Antigua 'full of Ukraine's finest'; Epstein responds that 'there are very few things I wouldn't do for you, Brock.' 13. The hosts note Pierce holds one of the earliest Ley 60 (Act 60) investor decrees in Puerto Rico and has left a trail of failed projects on the island—including a hospital in Macao, the Miss World franchise, and the Hotel W in Vieques. 14. As recently as the days before broadcast, Pierce reportedly met with officials at Puerto Rico's Department of Health to propose reopening a medical facility his entities previously operated—a facility shut down for failing minimum patient-safety standards. 15. On the fiscal front, the Fiscal Oversight Board sent a letter to the governor on the preceding Friday rejecting her proposed tax reform, saying projected solar-panel revenues were 'in chaos' and estimated at a maximum of 600,000 pesos rather than the amounts assumed in the plan. 16. Columnist Díaz Olivos, who had praised the governor's renewed energy in a December 7, 2025 column, published a follow-up six weeks later calling the reform 'improvised' and arguing one-time checks do not generate lasting political loyalty. 17. The hosts point out the governor withheld the prior-year refundable tax credit—promising to accumulate funds for a 'holistic' reform—and now the Board has publicly declared that reform inadequate, leaving the funds effectively unspent. 18. The episode is conversational, fast-moving morning-show radio: the hosts interrupt each other, use sarcasm freely (joking that 'Claude is better for budget math'), and shift segments abruptly with ad breaks. 19. Puerto Ricans who follow the island's political economy, celebrity culture, and investigative journalism will find the most value here. 20. Listeners seeking structured analysis, non-Spanish content, or deep single-topic episodes will likely find the format too fragmented.
