The documents also include the testimony of a second accuser who said (Prince)Andrew, 59, fondled her breast and made sexual advances on her and Giuffre with a puppet that looked like him.
Even Epstein’s chess set was enough to trigger major creep alarms. One visitor to the home told the newspaper the set featured “custom figurines dressed in underwear — each piece, he noted, was modeled after one of his staffers.”
Jeffrey Epstein may have escaped his day in court, but if the wealthy predators involved in his sex ring think they just got away with it, they’re WRONG.
The rich and powerful get away with raping young girls...again.
EPSTEIN FACTS
1) He told a journalist that for years he and Trump were "best friends"
2) He told a journalist he underwrote Trump's purchase of Mar-a-Lago
3) An associate told a journalist that Trump *went to Epstein's home* on 12/24/17

Baden continued: “One could have no air coming in for a period of time under these circumstances and that would be possible, but I have not seen it. But it is possible.”
Penis sizes vary greatly, Baden said, and accidental asphyxiation is possible due to those variations.
“Strange things can happen,” he told The Post.

With Epstein's Death, Accusers Seek New Legal Recourse
.......
That's a direction that at least some of Epstein's accusers appear to be heading toward. On Saturday, Lisa Bloom, an attorney for several of Epstein's accusers, posted to Twitter calling for the administrators of Epstein's estate to "freeze all his assets and hold them for his victims who are filing civil cases."
"Our civil cases can still proceed against his estate ... We're just getting started," she wrote.

@LisaBloom
Predator Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. On behalf of the victims I represent, we would have preferred he lived to face justice.
Our civil cases can still proceed against his estate. Victims deserve to be made whole for the lifelong damage he caused. We’re just getting started.

The exact size of Epstein's estate remains a mystery, but according to Bloomberg, the estate included a $77 million mansion on New York's Upper East Side, an island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a ranch in New Mexico and homes in Paris and Palm Beach, Fla. He had a net worth of at least $500 million, according to Bloomberg.
Lawrence says he thinks it will be difficult to proceed with a civil action since Epstein can't be put on trial for his alleged crimes. "He wasn't deposed, and now he's not available to defend himself," he says. "Any restitution that they might have sought for victims or forfeiture of assets in connection with the prosecution all effectively disappear."
The strength of any potential civil cases could hinge on what federal prosecutors uncover in what they say will be an ongoing investigation.
In a statement released Saturday, Geoffrey S. Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the investigation into Epstein's sex trafficking case will continue. Berman said his office's investigation into the "conduct charged in the Indictment — which included a conspiracy count — remains ongoing." The mention of the conspiracy count suggested prosecutors may be turning their focus to Epstein's past associates.

Recent security lapses with high-profile MCC inmates:
1) Reza Zarrab: The man behind the biggest money laundering scheme to Iran in U.S. history testified that another inmate pulled a knife on him in MCC because he was cooperating.
Story from 2017:
2) Victor Casado: Zarrab, who implicated Turkish President Erdogan in the scheme, bribed MCC guard Casado for contraband. Casado ultimately pleaded guilty to corruption.
Story from last year: https://www.courthousenews.com/us-priso ... y-charges/ …
DOJ release:
3) Joshua Schulte: Accused of the WikiLeaks "Vault 7" leaks of CIA files, Schulte somehow managed to allegedly spill new information from his MCC cell via multiple contraband cellphones – including at least one heavily encrypted device.
From last year:
4) Jeffrey Epstein: Accused of sex trafficking, Epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide. The DOJ, FBI and NYC Medical Examiner continue to probe the circumstances surrounding his death.
Put together, there are serious and longstanding questions about security at MCC, even in high-profile cases.
More to come, as I continue to research.

“If he killed himself someone had to have helped him,” said Lewis Kasman, a onetime close confidant of the Dapper Don who visited the godfather several times at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 1992.
“There are cameras going 24/7 and they’re watching 24/7. Someone had to give [Epstein] the equipment to kill himself and he had to pay for it dearly,” said Kasman, who has kept abreast of conditions in the lockup.
Kasman added: “That facility for years had issues of corruption, with correction officers bringing in food or cellphones for wealthy people.”
The former Gambino bean counter noted that Gotti, who did time both in the jail’s 9 South and 10 South units, its most secure wings, still managed to get his favorite steak dinner sneaked in: “He had Peter Luger’s whenever he wanted.”
Kasman said he heard US Attorney General William Barr personally made a hush-hush trip to the MCC two weeks ago, about the time Epstein was found in his cell with bruises around his neck.
“When does that happen?” he asked. “The attorney general never visits jails. Something’s not right there.”
Kasman said the facility was “totally disgusting — worse than Guantanamo Bay.”
“There are roaches crawling all over you — in every orifice — when you sleep. The Bureau of Prisons’ answer to that is that they can’t spray. It’s toxic.”

In a two‐and‐a‐half page letter dated July 13, Dr. Ferrer charged, among other things, that last Feb. 3 Dr. Baden spoke at “grand rounds” at Lenox Hill Hospital and presented “details not previously presented in such fashion as to indicate” that Governor Rockefeller “had died during sexual intercourse.”
The term “grand rounds” refers to a formal hospital meeting, often addressed by a guest speaker, in which physicians discuss unusual medical cases.

Mr. Morgenthau's complaints cover five pages, single‐spaced. In his letter, dated July 12, he said that “dissatisfaction with the Medical Examiner's office in general and with Dr. Baden in specific is very widespread among the assistant district attorneys who handle homicide cases.”

Becoming the chief medical examiner of New York City [in 1978] was a fulfillment....I envisioned the office as independent, scientific, apolitical. Pure. Robert Morgenthau, the district attorney of Manhattan, saw it as an arm of the DA's office, with a malleable medical examiner doing his bidding. But if the DA needs a rape in order to prosecute, should the ME somehow find evidence consistent with a rape? If the police say their prisoner died of a heart attack and not a choke hold, should the ME oblige with a death certificate that says cardiac arrest? What is really wanted is an elastic man, one who will stretch and bend his findings to suit the DA's needs and the political climate. Truth and excellence play no part in this arrangement. Numbers are what count, getting convictions for the DA, and the ME's office exists for that purpose. Its own purposes are always subordinate to somebody else's agenda. The DA and his numbers look good for a while, but the ME is degraded and his work suffers. The office succumbs to creeping corruption, a little bit here, a little bit there, until it begins to resemble the old coroner system it replaced.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN DEATH: A LITTLE SKEPTICISM IS WARRANTED
How and why did Jeffrey Epstein die? Did he commit suicide to escape an embarrassing trial and a lengthy prison sentence as a child rapist? Or did he know too much about too many powerful people who did not want to be implicated? In any case, any serious person would admit that the timing was most convenient.
It is also curious that he supposedly attempted suicide once before. So shouldn’t the authorities at a federal facility have been monitoring him? Amazingly, Epstein reportedly had been taken off “suicide watch” a few days ago. Could somebody whose power extended into a federal prison have used that first attempt as cover for an “involuntary suicide?”
Are we allowed even to talk about such possibilities? Ever since the CIA in 1967 issued a memo recommending the use of terms like “conspiracy theorist” to discourage inquiries in non-consensus directions, the corporate media has marched in lockstep to that tune.
It has continuously deployed this disparaging term to cast a cloud over a diverse range of individuals who have nothing in common. These range from those who accept the most outrageous default explanation for almost everything, to serious investigators who wonder if it is possible that, say, every powerful politician in America has been killed by a “lone nut” — this, while in other countries, people assume a reasonable probability that more may have been going on.
Besides, we know that actual conspiracies happen all the time. Just a few examples of notorious conspiracies include long-denied and covered-up but ultimately documented plots by America’s intelligence services in which elected foreign leaders were deposed and murdered. Then there are large conspiracies of the sort found in the Iran-Contra Affair. And all the price-fixing conspiracies And of course the stuff of “true crime,” in which everyone from spouses and lovers to business partners and enemies get together with others and secretly work out how to snuff someone.
What of Epstein? Does he seem like the sort that someone else might want out of the way?
Not only did association with him hang over a former and a current president, a corporate titan and a member of the British royal family, but also all manner of wealthy and famous people, plus a particularly voluble and litigious lawyer and constant TV talking head.
Also, anyone who has looked at Epstein’s relationships and inner circle over the years has to wonder if his operation was ultimately about blackmail. Besides domestic possibilities, it must be noted that intelligence services of other countries, including notably Israel and Russia, were either prospectively connected to the Epstein circle or were at least aware of the implications of the kind of information Epstein had, and its value. Not to mention things we’ve heard, including the possibility that Epstein’s premises were wired for surveillance.
It took years for the Epstein story, already well known to many journalists, to make its way to the public. The federal authorities went suspiciously easy on Epstein until recently.
Can we now please have some real, fearless, investigation without those who dig deeper being called names for doing our jobs?https://whowhatwhy.org/2019/08/10/jeffrey-epstein-death-a-little-skepticism-is-warranted/
L Brands CEO Les Wexner has been giving documents to investigators showing alleged Jeffrey Epstein theft
Brian Schwartz
Published an hour ago
Updated an hour ago
L Brands founder Les Wexner and his legal team have been providing documents to federal investigators that they believe show Jeffrey Epstein misappropriated funds while the child predator was Wexner’s money manager.
Wexner believes the evidence demonstrates “all sorts of irregularities and theft,” one person with direct knowledge of the matter said.
“There were things that were completely wrong and transactions that weren’t appropriate,” this person added. The person would not divulge details beyond that description.
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have accused Epstein of trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of underage girls at his homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.
L Brand’s stock was down 2.5% on Monday. Its share price has slid about 15% since The New York Times first reported about Wexner’s connection with Epstein on July 25.
Wexner’s cooperation with authorities started before Epstein’s apparent suicide on Saturday in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York. Despite his death, prosecutors said they would continue their investigation and called on more alleged victims to come forward.
Attorney General William Barr has called on the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general to evaluate the circumstances of Epstein’s death.

Epstein was once friends with President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that Epstein’s finances could become a focal point of the remaining investigation. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the Wexner family has been cooperating with the government’s investigation in recent weeks by providing information related to Epstein’s role as their financial advisor.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to confirm or comment, citing department policy on ongoing investigations.

Representatives close to Wexner, who is chairman and CEO of L Brands, did not deny the efforts to give over evidence against Epstein. A spokesman for Wexner declined to comment, and an L Brands spokeswoman did not return a request for comment. Wexner’s attorney and a legal representative for Epstein did not return repeated requests for comment.
Since Epstein’s arrest last month in New Jersey, Wexner and his company have been trying to publicly distance themselves from someone whom Wexner had once given power of attorney.
In a letter released to members of his charitable foundation, Wexner gave a general synopsis of how he walked away from Epstein in 2007 after the child predator was initially placed under investigation in Florida for similar allegations. Epstein was sentenced to 13 months behind bars in that case but spent much of his time out on work release.
“By early fall 2007, it was agreed that he should step back from the management of our personal finances. In that process, we discovered that he had misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family,” Wexner said in the letter. “This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now.”
Wexner later noted that they were able to recover some of the money Epstein allegedly stole from Wexner’s family charity, saying that Epstein refunded part of the sum to the YLK Charitable Fund. Epstein’s repayment came in the form of a $46 million contribution in Apple stock and other assets shortly before he went to jail in 2008.
A representative for Wexner’s foundation declined to comment.
Wexner signed over power of attorney to Epstein in the summer of 1991, a legal document shows. Soon after Epstein was brought on board, The New York Times reported, Wexner started to distance himself from many of his associates within his inner circle. Epstein reportedly used his position as Wexner’s money manager to act as a talent recruiter for Victoria’s Secret, an L Brands company. While pitching himself as a recruiter, he would lure women into his hotel room and attempt to assault them, the Times reported.
L Brands also owns fragrance company Bath & Body Works and clothing line PINK.
Wexner’s business has started an internal review of their own and has hired outside counsel to review their prior relationship with Epstein.

Nearly every article in this thread assumes the narrative that Epstein is dead. So why would we consider this assumption to be valid? Indoctrination by repetition?
Good luck with all the detective work.
