Jeffrey Epstein denied bail and ordered back to prison ahead of sex trafficking trial [tr]

Jeffrey Epstein was denied bail on Thursday, and will remain at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan ahead of his criminal trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The decision comes after two court filings submitted by his legal team were shown to have false or misleading information.

On Tuesday, Epstein's defense team appeared to be throwing down the gauntlet when they declared prosecutors had no proof Epstein had ever used an official Austrian passport with his photo and an assumed name that was found in a safe at his $77 million mansion.

'He never used the document to travel internationally and never presented it to any immigration or customs authority,' claimed attorney Marc French.

One day later, prosecutors filed their own letter which not only denied that claim, but also listed the specific countries where Epstein, 66, had used the passport.

Considering the powerful people who are at risk, someone must be willing to pony up to have Epstein eliminated.

I'd say the only latest tidbits that have made me really think is the one about Epstein naming his secluded LSJ cove

"The Grotto"

That's clearly a reference to The Grotto at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion, and what would famously happen there on a very grand scale every year on Mid-Sommer's Night, all night long, involving many people.

All manner of powerful people went there and participated.

So it makes me wonder who really was Hugh Hefner, did he have any other secret role or loyalty, and what kind of powerful work product might secretly have come out of the Playboy Enterprise, all those years back.

It went on for DECADES.

I cannot believe that Blackmail is some type of really new invention.

Epstein's public product involved investment returns but it now turns out his main product was blackmail.

All the same infrastructure was in place for Hugh Hefner.

Was Epstein the first time this happened in the USA recently..?

I have my doubts.

MCC New York is a federal facility, not state.

Epstein is under the control of the federal BOP.

Of course, when Clinton was in charge, that meant someone like Jim McDougal could have die of a "heart attack" in BOP custody, and no one said boo (except here on FR).

That's not the case today, and I think Epstein will make it to trial.

I bet he's in protective conditions, which I think effectively means solitary.

He's innocent until proven guilty, so he's a little bit less restricted than he'll be after he's convicted.

The other day the “fake passport” was Saudi.

Presto, change-o..!!!

Now it’s AUSTRIAN.

So which is it, and if it really IS Austrian, what and who was the force behind the claim that it was SAUDI..?

Or are there two fake passports, the Saudi one outdated/invalid and the Austrian one newer?

Pretty silly legal ploy to claim he'd never used the passport when said passport was in the Court's hands already and:

In fact, the passport contains numerous ingress and egress stamps, including stamps that reflect use of the passport to enter France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s.

One can hardly blame Epstein for wanting to exchange his jail cell for a multi-million-dollar mansion, though. I'll bet every inmate in the place would jump at the chance.

A comment at that time said it was so he could travel to SA. They don’t accept people with Israeli passports. Suspect that is the third passport.

Maxwells father was reported to be Mooooosad. Look into the billionaire Jewish group in Manhattan MEGA (and its connections to NXIUM.)

Hmmmmm.…you brought up an interesting point about this being connected to the Jewish group involved in NXIVM!! And Wexner and Epstein are both Jewish also.

Oh, yes..!

Robert Maxwell's funeral featured 6 former and then current high ranking members of the Mossad, including commanders.

The Eulogy was delivered by no less than Yitzak Shamir, who point-blank said, "Maxwell did much more for Israel than we can say today..."

Here is his grave, on a Jerusalem hillside:
