Judge takes rare step to help serve elusive Ghislaine Maxwell with lawsuit

Jeffrey Epstein crony Ghislaine Maxwell is so impossible to find that a Manhattan judge has taken the rare step of allowing her to be served with a new lawsuit — by email, according to a federal court filing Friday.

Lawyers for Epstein sex-assault-accuser Annie Farmer had griped to federal Judge Debra Freeman that they’ve been trying to find the disgraced British socialite to serve her with the complaint, filed in November, but that she’s done such a good job of hiding that they haven’t been able to get to her, court documents show.

“Plaintiff has attempted to locate and personally serve Maxwell to no avail. Her counsel has conducted extensive public records searches and located various addresses for Maxwell,” Farmer’s lawyers wrote in a Jan. 27 motion imploring Freeman to allow them to serve Maxwell using “alternate” means.

On Wednesday, Freeman granted the motion, acknowledging that Farmer has “adequately demonstrated that personal service would be impracticable” and ordered Maxwell to be served by email and through her lawyers representing her in a lawsuit involving another key Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

Farmer’s lawyers promptly emailed a copy of the summons and complaint to Maxwell’s email, as well as to the attorneys representing her in the Giuffre case.

“Ms. Maxwell, Please see the below text order granting our motion to approve alternate service on you in Farmer v. Indyke,” reads the email, which was filed to the court as evidence.

If Maxwell’s camp doesn’t respond to the suit by March 6, a default judgment will be placed against her, Freeman ruled.

Hire me to serve her. She’ll be served, but you have to pay travel expenses. Seriously.

Who says she’s still alive?

She had dirt on Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton.

Critics of both have a nasty habit of inconveniently dying before they can ever testify ...

She is so gone I’m not sure anyone could find her.

The Israelis have managed to keep their nuclear program hidden in plain sight so long hiding her should be a piece of cake. If she is alive that is.

I’m less worried about those two degenerates than I am the people she has dirt on who are still in positions of power.

Doesn’t matter. What the judge is ruling is that she’s avoiding service, and is allowing email sent to count as “served”. There does not have to be proof that she saw it

She was spending Valentine’s Day with Slick Willy! This is their first Valentine’s Day without Epstein’s Island to celebrate!

You got to understand that she and Jeff ran a spying network that blackmailed powerful people and politicians. The spying was done on behave of several government intelligence agencies.

Those governments don’t want her served. They killed Epstein and will do anything to prevent being exposed in public for what they have done.

She could also be served by publication.

Why isn’t she on the top ten most wanted list??? She should be on Interpol’s list, too.
