Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell employed ex-British military personnel to hide from FBI

Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite charged with aiding the late Jeffrey Epstein in the sex trafficking of minors, employed former British military personnel as security at the New Hampshire estate where she was arrested earlier this month, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Monday.

The office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said Maxwell, in addition to the security detail, wrapped her cell phone in aluminum foil to avoid detection. FBI agents had to break down the door of the facility and found her hiding inside a room in its interior, prosecutors said, according to The Washington Post.

The FBI added that Maxwell sent the security personnel out to make “purchases for the property” with a credit card, and that the guards worked in rotating shifts.

The U.S. attorney’s office has argued Maxwell is a flight risk, citing her citizenship in three countries, including her birthplace of France, which does not extradite citizens.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe cited these precautions as further evidence Maxwell, who has denied the charges, is a flight risk. “As these facts make plain, there should be no question that the defendant is skilled at living in hiding,” Moe wrote, according to the Post.

It certainly is not limited to Prince Andrew. The UK, in my opinion, is very deep in this.

Does wrapping your phone in tin foil even do anything??
If she was in France why would she leave and come back to America?

I misspoke:

The wretched hive of scum and villainy known as SDNY: criminals prosecuting criminals...

Topped off with "straight-arrow" Fibbie agents arresting Ms. Maxwell, and bragging about Their Manly Selves...  face with tears of joy face with tears of joy

That makes no sense. If she was wanted by authorities, and in the USA, she would eventually be found (or ratted out), especially given her high status and priority.

Why would she stay in the USA? She has a French (and probably Israeli) passport. She could have gone anywhere to hide. Why stay in New Hampshire?

How many British children made their way to Epstein’s island via Muslim child sex-slavers?

She’d be sitting pretty in France. She was born in France. No extradition to the USA.

Unless this is all in coordination with the FBI to look like she was hiding and they have already made an agreement with her, it doesn’t make sense for her to have stayed here.

Fake news. She wasn’t hiding from the FBI. She was hiding from the media, and Hillary. Her lawyers were in contact with the feds.

US feds had been tracking her, and picked her up once a warrant was issued June 29.

I’m going to be a crazy conspiracy nut and suggest that the UK has been interfering in US elections and politics.

The timing of the FBI locating and taking her into custody is suspicious. My concern is that the ONLY big name she will roll on will be the President, true or not. It will give the Democrat controlled media to run it constantly until the election. If anyone has watched the Epstein documentary on Netflix, during the first episode (I could only get through one) they showed only ONE photo of Clinton. And they showed the same two pictures of Trump at least 10 times, implying a close relationship. They even said numerous times that Epstein’s house in Florida was close to Trumps.

That is my guess: she already made a deal with FBI to turn herself in. I don’t see why else she would leave France.

Hey TX Gator, I just took my tinfoil cap off wrapped my phone. Give me a call and I will check it out. Of course, if I do not hear from you then I know for sure it works.

Maybe legal advice.

It has been reported that the feds had IDed her financial accounts around the world. Once she was actually wanted, she would lose access to the money she can’t live without.

BTW, Ghislaine didn’t kill herself.

A microwave oven is a Faraday Cage. You can store your phone in one of those (preferably unplugged). Would work better than tinfoil.

I think if you wanted to hide in full view...the US is probably the easier of countries to do so.
