Jeffrey Epstein is going to name names — again. A mysterious “black book” believed to belong to the late pedophile financier, which revealed the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed people, is going up for auction — and bidders are being assured that their identities will be kept secret. It could fetch up to $200,000 — or more, the auction house owner told the Daily Beast, which first reported the story. **SNIP** The book was reportedly found on Fifth Avenue in the East Village by a female musician in the 1990s, but how it came to be there remains...

In a recent development in the case between Virginia L. Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, a transcript of a videotaped deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell taken in New York in 2016 was released on Friday. The deposition, held at the law offices of Boies Schiller & Flexner, contains confidential information and has brought crucial details regarding the allegations and legal proceedings surrounding the case to the forefront. Some key points: Maxwell confirmed she began working for Epstein around 1992. Her role evolved over time, including overseeing construction projects and staffing for Epstein’s properties. Her active involvement decreased around 2002-2003, although she occasionally...

Hillary Clinton's name has appeared in court documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for the first time, with a newly-published tranche requesting 'all communications' from her and 12 other people. The former Secretary of State's surprise entrance on the Epstein stage - her husband has been mentioned multiple times, and was known to associate with the late pedophile financier for several years - came as lawyers asked whether the Clinton Foundation was bankrolling Maxwell. Maxwell, the only person convicted for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking network, refused to answer. Hillary Clinton was not known to be close...

The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night. He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff. While he is mentioned only fleetingly in the new files - an Epstein victim asked whether she'd ever given Barak a massage - there has long been speculation surrounding his relationship with the financier. Barak met with...

U.S. District New York Judge Loretta Preska’s ordered release of 187 names that had been previously withheld from court records in a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice and lover, have finally been unveiled. Their release was ordered by Judge Preska in December, but she allowed the Jane and John Does to file an appeal. Among the figures listed were Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Doug Band, a longtime advisor to former President Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who killed himself last year.

New evidence from one of Prince Andrew's accusers is due to be presented in a US court this week. The legal documents relate to Johanna Sjoberg and could reveal more details of her alleged encounter with the royal. Ms Sjoberg has previously claimed the King's brother put his hand on her breast at the Manhattan home of multi-millionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2001. She alleged this happened during an incident in which a latex Spitting Image puppet of the Duke of York – a present from Epstein's then-lover Ghislaine Maxwell – was used to touch the breast of Virginia Roberts....

Robert Kennedy Jr. was on such good terms with Jeffrey Epstein that he had free use of the billionaire pedophile’s Manhattan office in 1993 — and partied with him ... Bobby never could keep dates or wives straight... They were irrelevant to him. ... Oxenberg’s account which may raise most questions over RFK’s attempt to minimize his Epstein connection — because it describes how Maxwell was part of Kennedy’s family circle long before his affair with Mary Richardson began. Oxenberg is a member of the deposed Serbian royal family — Britain’s Prince Andrew is a second cousin — while her...

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell has mysteriously died. Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this year. Maxwell worked as Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp for years and the DOJ knew they were running girls as young as 12 but they refused to act. Carolyn Andriano, one of Epstein’s victims who testified against Maxwell, was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel earlier this year. There was no funeral or obituary and West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an...

The controversial ex-CEO of Barclays will pay a major fine after texts and emails showed the extent of his relationship with the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Jes Staley, who ran the major U.K. bank between 2015 and 2021, was hit with a £1.8 million ($2.2 million) fine by the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and banned from holding senior positions in the financial services industry. The FCA released a 79-page dossier outlining its extensive three-year investigation into the U.S. banker’s ties with Epstein.

The settlement caps a months-long legal saga in which JPMorgan faced claims of facilitating Epstein’s trafficking of underage women.

Deutsche Bank has paid $75 million to resolve similar claims involving Epstein, who died in jail...

For those who think the truth about the crime and slime associated with Jeffrey Epstein has been deep-sixed down the memory hole, there may be another bite at this rotten apple. Mimi Lui, an attorney representing the U.S. Virgin Islands, has filed suit in federal court against JPMorgan Chase. Lui charged that over $1 billion in suspicious transactions have been reported to the U.S. Treasury since Epstein’s death and that JPMorgan Chase ignored sex-trafficking red flags over many years, thus enabling these crimes. ...

NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - A lawyer for the U.S. Virgin Islands said on Thursday that JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) told U.S. authorities it processed more than $1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein over 16 years. JPMorgan reported the transactions as suspicious to the U.S. Treasury Department following Epstein's suicide in 2019, Mimi Liu, a lawyer for the territory, said at a hearing concerning its lawsuit against the largest U.S. bank. Reuters did not view the bank's disclosures to the Treasury, which are not public. A JPMorgan spokesperson declined to comment. Epstein had been a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013,...

Recent reports from The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, as well as new court filings in U.S. Virgin Islands civil suit, have revealed a number of additional prominent people who were associates of Jeffrey Epstein’s. Their ties to the notorious sex trafficker and longtime high-society hobnobber were not previously known, having not appeared in Epstein’s infamous black book or in the public flight logs of passengers who traveled aboard his private jet before his jailhouse death in 2019 while awaiting trial. The new reports also deepen public understanding of the ties between Epstein and some boldfaced names...

The remote Zorro Ranch where Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave has claimed she was flown as a teenager to meet Prince Andrew alone has finally been sold. None of the late paedophile’s victims will benefit from the multi-millionaire dollar sale. However, shockingly, his partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, could get some of the money. Last night, one of Epstein’s victims branded the possibility “beyond deplorable”. The now 35-year-old, who was abused by the financier when she was a schoolgirl, told Daily Express US: "Is there no depth Ghislaine will stoop to? Not happy with inflicting abuse on young girls with Jeffrey,...

Inmates inside the prison where disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is to be held during his trial have previously been stuck in freezing cells with limited power for a week. The Metropolitan Detention Center houses more than 1,600 inmates and is situated near the waterfront in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. As well as new inmate Bankman-Fried, the prison had previously held high profile individuals including R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell and Martin Shkreli.

Ghislaine Maxwell is so broke she may have to represent herself in her legal appeal against her conviction on child sex-trafficking charges, it was claimed last night. The disgraced socialite has told friends she is penniless and has no money to hire lawyers. Maxwell's former marital home in Manchester-by-the-Sea in Massachusetts was sold last week for £4.5 million but it is unlikely that she will see a penny from the sale. While she alleges that her money was used originally to buy the property, it was in the name of a company controlled by her ex-husband Scott Borgerson, who has...

Ghislaine Maxwell groomed a 16-year-old autistic girl with mosaic Down syndrome, calling her 'beautiful darling' and comparing her to a 'doll' after receiving her from a trafficker, according to bombshell new court documents. The girl, who is not named, is in her 30s now. She is suing Leon Black, a 71-year-old billionaire and Epstein associate, claiming he sodomized her with sex toys in 2002 when she was just 16 at Epstein's home. He denies the allegations through his attorney. In court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the girl's attorneys describe in detail how she allegedly came into Epstein and Maxwell's sordid...

Behind bars, his most famous accomplice – and the only one that has faced any repercussions – is so afraid to be targeted, she can’t even brave taking showers. Disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is constantly in hot water with FCI Tallahassee prison administration, ever since she used the prison’s video visit system to give an interview claiming that the infamous photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake. After lodging over 400 complaints, she has earned the nickname ‘prison Karen’ in the low-security federal prison where she’s serving a 20-year sentence. In her lastest episode, Maxwell...

Sunday July 2, 2023 – The US government has urged the appeals court to uphold Ghislaine Maxwell’s s3x trafficking conviction and 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein se3ually abuse teenage girls. This is coming after the disgraced socialite launched a bid to dismiss the case. In a filing with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Thursday night, federal prosecutors said none of Maxwell’s legal arguments about the fairness of her trial held merit. ‘The government’s evidence at trial established that over the course of a decade, Maxwell facilitated and participated in the sexual abuse of multiple...
