On Saturday night, billionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on charges that he recruited dozens of underage girls into a sex-trafficking ring in Florida and New York between 2002 and 2005. The details of his indictment became public on Monday morning when federal prosecutors unsealed the sex-trafficking charges against him. Though Epstein is the only person named, many powerful people with ties to the 66-year-old are likely feeling a little nervous about the consequences of the billionaire’s arrest — including Ghislaine Maxwell, a confidante of Epstein’s who has been connected to him for more than two decades and is alleged to have played a critical role in recruiting and grooming underage girls into his sex-trafficking ring. Though Maxwell is a key figure in the Epstein case, she has not yet been arrested and has repeatedly denied accusations against her. As the details of Epstein’s alleged crimes become clearer, however, we’re likely to hear her name come up again and again.
Here’s everything we know about the alleged madam so far.
She’s a 57-year-old British socialite.
Maxwell is the daughter of publisher Robert Maxwell — in short, she comes from money. After growing up and attending university in England, she moved to the United States following her father’s death in 1991. Exactly how Maxwell and Epstein met is unclear, but the two reportedly dated for a short period of time, then remained friends after breaking up. Per a 2002 New York Magazine profile of Epstein, Maxwell — who has been linked to Epstein for more than two decades — “lent a little pizzazz to the lower-profile Epstein.” The story continues:
The Oxford-educated Maxwell, described by many as a man-eater (she flies her own helicopter and was recently seen dining with [Bill] Clinton at Nello’s on Madison Avenue), lives in her own townhouse a few blocks away. Epstein is frequently seen around town with a bevy of comely young women but there has been no boldfaced name to replace Maxwell. “You may read about Jeffrey in the social columns, but there is much more to him than that,” says Jeffrey T. Leeds of the private equity firm Leeds Weld & Co. She also, in 2012, founded the TerraMar Project, a nonprofit that advocates for protecting ocean waters.
She’s friendly with a number of notable figures, including Bill Clinton and British royal-family members.
Over the years, Maxwell has been photographed alongside many prominent, powerful people who are linked to Epstein, such as Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Maxwell was even a guest at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010.
She’s been accused of recruiting and grooming girls and women into Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring.
According to multiple court filings reviewed by the Miami Herald, lawyers for one of Epstein’s alleged victims have claimed that Epstein and Maxwell acted as the leaders of an “organized crime family” and that Maxwell helped traffic girls and women to powerful figures. Per the documents, Maxwell lured the alleged victims into the sex ring by offering them modeling, fashion, and educational opportunities.
Though Epstein is the only one named in the new indictment, there are court documents that could shed light on Maxwell’s alleged involvement: around 2,000 pages from a 2015 defamation case filed by a woman named Virginia Giuffre, who publicly claimed in a sworn affidavit the year earlier that Maxwell had recruited her into Epstein’s sex ring to be a “sex slave” when she was just 16. (After being recruited, she says, she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz.) In response, Maxwell called Giuffre’s claims “entirely false” on numerous occasions, compelling the latter to file the lawsuit. But the case never went to trial: In May 2017, it was settled the day before the trial was scheduled to start, and a U.S. District Court judge ordered a significant portion of the filings to be sealed; furthermore, the records that were made public were heavily blacked out. On July 3 of this year, though, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ordered that some of the aforementioned sealed documents be released. However, the court did not provide a deadline.
(Additionally, in 2017, a woman named Sarah Ransome alleged in a lawsuit that Maxwell and Epstein had threatened to physically hurt her or ruin her career were she to refuse to have sex with the pair’s clients. Ransome withdrew the suit in December 2018 for reasons that were not made public.)
Sanford L. Bohrer, the Miami Herald’s attorney, has urged the New York appeals court to prioritize unsealing the 2,000-some pages of documents related to the 2015 defamation case, as the allegations against Maxwell are “an issue of critical public concern.” And speaking of the potential consequences of Epstein’s indictment, David Boies, the lawyer representing Giuffre, told the Herald, “The one person most likely in jeopardy is Maxwell because the records that are going to be unsealed have so much evidence against her.”
Maxwell has not made any comment since Epstein’s arrest.
The world knows only half the story of British media magnate Robert Maxwell's well-publicized career. He was born poor but thrived on ruthless ambition, devoured his competitors and outsmarted his most formidable peers to build an international empire as a publisher, politician, and industrialist. For the first time, this well-researched book from best-selling author Gordon Thomas and terrorism expert Martin Dillon tells the other, long-secret half of Maxwell's story. We are shown how Maxwell achieved his topmost objective as a superspy for Israel's Mossad; sold PROMIS—America's state-of-the-art surveillance software stolen by Mossad—to the USSR and many other countries; recruited foremost Republican Senator John Tower to acquire for Israel top-secret, cutting-edge U.S. technology being developed at Los Alamos; cultivated his vast KGB connections and strove to involve Israel in a coup to oust Mikhail Gorbachev; and how Maxwell ultimately became Mossad's target in an elaborately prepared assassination plot. For in November 1991, as his yacht cruised offshore of the Canary Islands, the life of Robert Maxwell ended—officially, by drowning. The facts that the news media did not then report or know, what truths even the autopsies concealed, are now revealed. Eight pages of black-and-white illustrations add to this compelling work.

Why is a Mossad-connected spy the procurer, handler, and girl Friday for Epstein?
Where did Epstein's money come from?
Her sisters are interesting too.

“lent a little pizzazz to the lower-profile Epstein.”
Hmmm, what does one get when they remove the last 2 letters of “pizzazz”? Perhaps a coded message?
“Well if you are being blackmailed, you can’t really explain why you are paying millions of dollars to some guy who shows up out of nowhere, and the guy who shows up out of nowhere can’t explain why he’s suddenly being paid huge sums.
So instead of paying him hush money you give him money to manage for you, and then he takes his management fee typical for hedge funds.
He figures this scheme out and then learns who the marks are”
GUESS where Esptein got the List Of Marks..?
From Les Wexner, his old mentor from Victoria Secret, The Limited, Guess Jeans, etc. the older guy who sheparded Epstein into the darker reaches of their shared hobby.
Wexner is much older, had longstanding contacts in the billionaire community and in the smaller clutch of wealthy people with purient interests not easily satisfied:
Hair-twirling, giggly p*ssy wearing braces and bobby socks, selling girl scout cookies in front of the grocery store. Or, more darkly, Cub Scout boy butt p*ssy.
Wexner had years to casually learn who was like him, and in order to monetize his knowledge, turned that data over to his younger ambitious darkly-hobbied friend. Wexner already had a client list in his head, he simply had to hand it over to his friend.
Maybe Wexner even got a cut of the action..? Dunno. Plus, foreign goverments would also be interested, if they needed sudden favors for intel ops pronto, no questions asked; moving money around, opening accounts, etc.
Epstein’s “genius investing talent” is simply his management of a deeply average investment fund populated by deep-pocketed people who permitted themselves to be ensnared in his trap.
Ghislaine is an accomplished pilot with VFR, IFR ratings for both fixed wing and rotary.
When people say “she took the girls out there” they mean that in many cases her own hands were ON THE FLIGHT CONTROLS.
I have no proof but I think it’s extremely likely she was a Mossad operative, like her dad.
They always have to get the Donald Trump in, don’t they?
D J T is at fault.
fill in the blanks.
Liberal/communist plan
I’m seeing this:
GHISLAINE NOELLE MAXWELL
Certificate: PRIVATE PILOT
Date of Issue: 10/2/2007
Ratings:
PRIVATE PILOT
ROTORCRAFT-HELICOPTER
Don’t see the other info. Wonder what the FAA records of “Lolita Express” show. Might be some trips not in the existing log.
Btw, the man who tried to get $50,000 for Epstein’s “Little Black Book” spent more time in jail (so far) than Epstein did!

Maxwell was a ruthless bon vivant. He acquired a company with which I am deeply familiar and he knew my Dad.
I don’t know about his Zionism or being a “treacherous Jew” (There are more and more reports here on FR, it seems,) but he was yet another Jew who was inordinately successful in his chosen field.
Regarding “international connections” one develops thousands per year in scientific publishing; this is all very titillating for journalists in cubicles.
What does a ‘handler’ procure? Rachel Chandler, the Clintons, and Prince Andrew appear to be linked to blackmail, human trafficking, and numerous other crimes.
Let’s shine a little sunlight on this: when now-AG Bill Barr’s father, Donald Barr, was headmaster at the Dalton school in NYC, he hired a two-time college dropout to teach physics and calculus to high school students.
That teacher’s name was Jeffrey Epstein.
Probably...of course, daughters can be extreme rebels too. Theresa Heinz, Jane Fonda, Reagan’s daughter and limpwristed son, etc...

So, is his daughter one of ours, Russian, or Israeli spy? Or just a good old fashioned pimp?
****
PING
See # 11.
Thanks, TigerClaws.
Or all of the above? Side note: one name in Epstein’s black book was Edgar Bronfman, Jr., brother of Clare Bronfman of NXIVM fame; their father Edgar Sr. like Robert Maxwell was actively involved in both Russian and Israeli affairs, in addition to having mob ties.
