    The Epstein Scandal (Epilogue?)
    After wrapping up the Epstein scandal series last week, a couple of things continued to irk me. So I’m back for an epilogue of sorts… an episode that may be the end of my take on the Epstein story for good, or maybe just for now. Only time will tell.

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Seven: The System)
    "If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files."

    Between his release from jail in 2009 and his arrest in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein maintained relationships with some of the most powerful people in the world. He traveled freely and regularly hosted gatherings at his properties. He gave money to institutions that accepted it without public acknowledgment. And he continued to position himself as a connector, someone whose value lay in his ability to bring people together.

    The evidence released in 2025 and 2026 following the surprising passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act confirms what many had suspected: that Epstein's network did not collapse after his conviction. Instead, it appears, this system adapted...

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Six: EDKH)
    "The evidence points to a combination of negligence and misconduct."

    In the early hours of 10 August 2019, correctional officers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan began their rounds. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., officers approached a cell on the ninth floor of the facility’s Special Housing Unit, a segregated area used for inmates who require administrative separation. Inside that cell was Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous sixty-six year old detainee facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors.

    When officers looked inside the cell that morning, Epstein was unresponsive. He was found hanging. Emergency measures were initiated, and he was transported to New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital where he was quickly pronounced dead...

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Five: The Island)
    "We told the truth back then. They just didn't care."

    Following his release from prison in 2009, Jeffrey Epstein set out to re-enter the inner circle of high society. Having been branded a sex offender by federal prosecutors, Epstein quickly found that there was little resistance to him moving around in the same crowd of wealthy and influential people he'd spent the past three decades cultivating. But still, the conviction threatened to complicate his life.

    So Epstein withdrew to Little Saint James, a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands he'd purchased back in 1998. He'd spent years renovating it to suit his lavish lifestyle, and 2009 became the perfect time for Epstein to reshape his life around it. Unfortunately for him, though, the case against him refused to go away quietly. And in 2019, the Miami Herald began publishing a series of articles centered around that original case...

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Four: The Deal)
    "Every day that passes makes it harder to hold him accountable."

    In the spring of 2008, inside the offices of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, a document was finalized that brought an end to the federal government’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The document was a Non-Prosecution Agreement, a type of agreement used to resolve cases without a trial. But this NPA in particular was handled outside of the normal public process. It was not filed in open court, and there was no public acknowledgement that it existed when it was signed.

    The individuals whose testimony had formed the basis of the federal case were not notified. They were not told that negotiations were underway, and they were not informed when the agreement was finalized. No court hearing accompanied the signing, and no press release announced that the investigation had been resolved.

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Three: Palm Beach)
    "I believed in the process. I thought that if we did our jobs the right way, the outcome would take care of itself. I learned that isn't always true."

    In October 2005, detectives from the Palm Beach Police Department arrived at 358 El Brillo Way. Residents assumed its owner, Jeffrey Epstein, was just another wealthy resident, but officers had been keeping tabs on the mysterious financier for months and had come to suspect that he was behind a strange sexual exploitation scheme involving minors.

    Evidence seized that day would form the backbone of one of the most complex sex crimes investigations in Florida history. But in that moment, detectives had no idea that what they would uncover would have ramifications far beyond what they ever imagined...

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Two: The Heiress & the Predator)
    "If Jeffrey was the enigma, she was the translator."

    On the morning of 5 November 1991, a body was found floating in the Atlantic near the Canary Islands. It was Robert Maxwell, one of Britain's most famous and controversial businessman. Hours earlier he had vanished from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, anchored off the Spanish coast. His death immediately became front-page news in the UK and across Europe, especially when it came to light that Maxwell's businesses had engaged in massive frauds.

    For Maxwell's youngest daughter, Ghislaine, the loss was more than financial. With her father dead and his business empire collapsing around her, she tried to escape the scandal and rebuild somewhere where she would not be defined by her family's collapse. So in early 1992, she moved to New York City...
