Jeffrey Edward Epstein

An American financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein posed for his last mugshot on July 6th, 2019, he was 66. He had been in the news for more than ten years when he was arrested for allegedly, sex trafficking underage girls in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005. If convicted he would have been looking at a maximum prison sentence of forty-five years. He hung himself while incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on August 10th, 2019.

Epstein had a knack for numbers. He started off teaching math and physics and then got into banking and finance. That led him to recover stolen money from crooked brokers and lawyers, working for clients who embezzled money and consulting very wealthy people, companies, and governments, including a Saudi Arabian businessman. He also charged ridiculously rich people a flat fee to help them avoid paying taxes. Epstein acquired his wealth from access and skill. At least that’s what I understand. Nobody really seems to know how he made all that money or if he truly was filthy rich.

Money, Power, and Sex

Supposedly, Epstein was a billionaire who maintained addresses in Manhattan, Paris, New Mexico, and Palm Beach. He even owned a mansion on his own island, St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additionally, he owned a couple of jets, a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, nine Mercedes-Benz, and several Harley Davidson motorcycles.

He was close friends with Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, heads of state, Nobel prize winners, and other billionaires. He once flew Bill Clinton to Africa on his own Boeing 727.

On March 15th, 2005, Palm Beach investigators sought to charge Epstein and two of his assistants with crimes tied to his sexual conduct with underage females in his home. Five alleged victims and seventeen witnesses were interviewed. He plead guilty in 2008 for procuring a juvenile for prostitution and felony solicitation of prostitution in Florida. Epstein served only thirteen months in county jail and he was allowed to leave for work six days a week. I guess it really is “Who you know”.

A Few Details From the Book

The book starts off with fourteen-year-old ‘Mary’ as she’s fussing about looking nice and making a good first impression. She is about to earn an incredible amount of money. She was headed to the mansion in Palm Springs to meet with Epstein and give him a “massage”. Mary was just one of many girls employed by Jeffrey Epstein, who claims he only has a ‘thing’ for massages.

One of the young girls claimed that Epstein would pay her just to hang around the house or swim in the pool but she had to be naked. Another said that Epstein would turn girls away for being too old or a little overweight. He once sent flowers to a girl at her high school.

He was a predator whos sex addiction and lust lead him to the abuse of hundreds of young girls. When police searched Epstein’s home in 2005 they found nude photos of some of the victims hung up on the walls and genital shaped bars of soap. There was a hidden camera in a clock that he used to snap pictures of all those girls. The photos were found on his computer. Epstein had a perverted sexual craving which eventually lead to his demise.
