What about Epstein?

[nomadpete]

After all our angst about the crazy state of politics, I can't believe we haven't got a thread about Epstein. 

 

So, here goes....

 

I'll kick off with a link to a news mob I've never heard of.

My curiosity is particularly piqued by the fact that nobody has officially delved into Epstein's banking records. I did think that it would be an important part of analysing any (possibly) corrupt/criminal case?

I DID this  a while ago for my own Interest. I also subscribe to the View He was Disposed of and didn't suicide as HE "knew too much" Gislaine is being treated like ROYALTY in Gaol. Funny that.  Nev

For those who find the article too long to read, here is a short AI summary

Very Short Summary (Bullet Points)

• Recent revelations—including documents from Epstein’s estate—show deeper ties between Epstein and powerful political figures such as Lord Peter Mandelson.

• A U.S. bill to release the Department of Justice’s Epstein files is unlikely to pass due to political obstruction.

• The article argues that enough public evidence already exists to understand Epstein’s operations without the files.

Epstein’s Network (Transnational Overview)

• UK:

  • Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, had suspected Soviet intelligence ties and may have used social events for blackmail.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell may have procured girls even in the 1980s.

• Canada:

  • Epstein allegedly became involved with sex-trafficking circles in Montreal in the early 1970s.

• Europe:

  • Epstein was mentored by people in arms-trafficking circles, gaining access to elites and criminals.

• France:

  • Jean-Luc Brunel, a modelling agent and serial rapist, collaborated closely with Epstein and ran agencies used for trafficking.

• USA:

  • Epstein used Les Wexner’s companies as a front to recruit victims.

  • Mike Jeffries (Abercrombie) and Donald Trump are described as part of overlapping networks using modelling fronts to access young women.

  • Trump’s modelling agency was widely viewed as linked to trafficking.

• Russia:

  • Epstein interacted with Russian intelligence (FSB) via officer Sergei Belyakov.

  • He had relationships with women with intelligence backgrounds.

  • He engaged in blackmail involving Bill Gates and a Russian woman.

  • The St Petersburg Economic Forum is portrayed as a centre for prostitution and kompromat gathering.

Main Conclusion

• Epstein’s network was global, involving sex trafficking, organised crime, financial fraud, and espionage with substantial Russian links.

• The U.S. government cannot be relied upon to fully investigate it—particularly under political figures with ties to these networks.

• Europe should take a larger role, as the case reflects broader threats to Western democracy from illiberal leaders aligned with Russia.
