A lawyer for several women who say they were victims of convicted pedophile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> has sent a letter to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Justice</a> asking why the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> “utterly failed” to investigate the well-connected financier.
The letter, sent this week to FBI Director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christopher-wray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Wray</a>, Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/merrick-garland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merrick Garland</a>, and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, says that the FBI knew about allegations about Epstein back in the 1990s but failed to take any substantial action. 
“As counsel to many survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy, we write regarding the failure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to properly, adequately, or timely investigate the sex trafficking of hundreds of girls and young women,” a <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23795557/letter-re-jeffrey-epstein-calling-for-investigation-of-fbi-w-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> from lawyer Jennifer Freeman says. “The FBI utterly failed to investigate serious allegations involving Epstein’s, and perhaps others’, child sex abuse materials (CSAM), significant additional criminality which, until recently, has been disregarded, disrespected, and essentially denied.”
The women want an explanation for why it took so long for substantive legal action to be taken against Epstein and asked the DOJ to investigate the FBI over its handling of the Epstein case.
One woman, Maria Farmer, said she had told the FBI that Epstein and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ghislaine Maxwell</a> sexually abused her and that she had seen other signs that the two of them were “committing multiple, serious, sexual abuse crimes, including hands-on sexual abuse, against minors and vulnerable young women.”
While working for Epstein in New York City, Farmer, an artist, said that she witnessed young girls entering and leaving Epstein’s mansion, and said that she was later abused by Epstein and Maxwell while working on a project in Ohio. She said that they threatened to burn all her artwork after she confronted them about stealing photographs of her partially dressed 11-year-old sister. 
“Deathly afraid, on August 29, 1996, Ms. Farmer reported in detail Epstein’s and Maxwell’s criminality to her local police department, the NYPD Sixth Precinct. The NYPD said that while they could address the local fire threats, they were unable to do anything about other possibly illegal activities occurring outside their jurisdiction, such as the abuse and theft perpetrated in Ohio, and other illegal activities,” the letter says. 
Farmer says that she then filed a complaint with the FBI but did not hear back until 2006, roughly ten years later. During that investigation, the letter says that complaints about CSAM were overlooked.

“Amazingly, despite a plethora of evidence of a far-reaching conspiracy to traffic women, and numerous red flags concerning possible CSAM, federal law enforcement stood by silently and didn’t take action,” Freeman wrote. 
The letter says that hard drives from Epstein’s Palm Beach home went missing leading up to his 2008 conviction, and are still missing today. In 2008, Epstein <a href="https://apnews.com/article/epstein-maxwell-timeline-b9f15710fabb72e8581c71e94acf513e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was sentenced</a> to 18 months in prison for state level prostitution charges and received a secret non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors. 
“After the slap-on-the-wrist sentence, Epstein and others continued their criminal enterprise, while the FBI did little more for another decade,” the letter continues. “The FBI’s repeated and continual failures, delays, and inaction allowed Epstein and others to continue their sex trafficking conspiracy for nearly a quarter of a century.”
Referencing recent reporting that current CIA director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-did-bidens-cia-director-meet-with-jeffrey-epstein-after-his-conviction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Burns met with Epstein</a> in 2014, the letter suggests that Epstein may have links with the government. 
“There is strong circumstantial evidence in the public domain that Epstein’s special relationship with the government explains the FBI’s failure to investigate or prosecute Epstein in 1996, the special treatment he received from 2005 to 2008, and the failure to investigate the possible wrongdoing of important public officials and powerful businessmen,” the letter says.
Epstein died in August 2019 while being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, awaiting trial for sex trafficking related charges.

U.S.

Names of individuals allegedly tied to deceased sex offender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> will be released through unsealed court documents in the coming months, according to a new report. 
Previously sealed documents with information on alleged Epstein associates, perpetrators, victims, employees, and others will be made public, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11736361/Final-trove-court-documents-related-Jeffrey-Epstein-finally-unsealed.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Daily Mail, which first reported on the new court filings pertaining to Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit against former Epstein associate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ghislaine Maxwell</a>. 
 A total of 167 names could be made public when the documents are unsealed, according to a list of “non-objecting Does” <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1301.1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> this week. The Mail reported that Prince Andrew, who has been accused of sexual assault by Giuffre, is expected to be included in the documents. 
Several of the currently unidentified individuals from the list have reportedly already been identified through media interviews or previously publicly available documents, including a former employee and an alleged associate.
Other names reportedly to be included in the documents are employees of Maxwell, alleged victims, and law enforcement officials linked to the case. For example, John Doe 18, an assistant state district attorney, already appears in an available police report, according to the filing.  
John Doe 23, an alleged perpetrator, was accused of playing a role in Epstein&#8217;s sex-trafficking scheme and has since died after the original case. His connection to the case has already been reported in the media, according to the filing. 
Also dead is John Doe 24, allegedly an associate of Alan Dershowitz, who was sued by Giuffre before she dropped the case against him. Other names that will reportedly be unsealed are that of a journalist “who investigated Epstein,” a former U.S. assistant attorney, and a “former FBI director.”
The new documents, expected to shed light on individuals who have been linked to Epstein, come as information continues to trickle out as media organizations and others ask for full access to documents pertaining to Giuffre’s 2015 case against Maxwell. 
In previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-claimed-to-have-copies-of-blackmail-tapes-made-by-epstein-of-his-associates-hidden-in-europe-emails-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released documents</a> from the case, an alleged victim of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein">Epstein</a> said in unsealed emails that she had copies of blackmail videos that the deceased financier took of his associates.
“When my friend had sexual intercourse with [redacted] and [redacted], sex tapes were in fact filmed on each occasion by Jeffrey,” Sarah Ransome <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1296.17.pdf">claimed</a> in an email. “Thank God she managed to get ahold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes which clearly identify the faces of [redacted] and [redacted] having sexual intercourse with her. Frustratingly enough Epstein was not seen in any of the footage but he was clever like that.”

You haven&#8217;t forgotten about Ghislaine Maxwell, have you?
Well, she recently gave an interview from prison, and it was shocking to hear her say she believes Jeffrey Epstein <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-79-scientists-say-lithium-should-be-added-to-drinking-water-to-prevent-suicides-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not kill himself</a>.
As we all know, “Epstein didn’t kill himself” has become a bit of a punchline, but there are people who are actually saying he was taken out by other actors.
Now, it should be noted the circumstances surrounding his death are incredibly suspicious. When they removed Epstein’s dead body from prison in August 2019, for example, his face was left uncovered. When have you ever seen a person who committed suicide, taken out on a gurney — with their face uncovered?
Beyond that, there are obvious questions about how, in such a max-security prison, he was able to get away with it.
Given the rumors about who or what Epstein was, there certainly would be motives to take such a person out — possibly by governments or private actors.
Maxwell also thinks it’s all so utterly bizarre. Speaking from a Florida jail cell to a United Kingdom <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-says-she-believes-jeffrey-epstein-was-murdered" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broadcaster on TalkTV</a>, she said of Epstein’s suicide, “I don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s real for a second.”
Maxwell explained she understood that Epstein was going to appeal his conviction.
“I believe that he was murdered. I was shocked and I wondered how it happened because … he was saying to me … I was sure he was going to appeal and I was sure that he was covered under the non-prostitution agreement,” she said. “But I wasn&#8217;t in the indictment. So I wasn&#8217;t mentioned. I wasn&#8217;t even one of the co-conspirators,” she said. “I obviously wish I&#8217;d never met him. You know, looking back now, I probably wish I had stayed in England.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Ghislaine Maxwell speaks on Jeffrey Epstein&#39;s death, adding that she didn&#39;t know &quot;he was so awful&quot; and &quot;wishes that she had never met him&quot;.<a href="https://t.co/cpCBxt3SJV">pic.twitter.com/cpCBxt3SJV</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Later on in the interview, she implies how she has been victimized by this monster of the media. Her argument is that public opinion essentially wanted to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein, but now that he is out of the picture, the media still wants to see somebody held accountable.
Since the client list hasn’t been revealed, they&#8217;re going after her since she is now the face of the operation.
Is there some truth to that? Yes, absolutely. I believe there&#8217;s been such intense public interest in this story for good reason — because it&#8217;s completely horrific.
We’ve received no justice because Epstein has “killed himself.” 
Justice remains elusive because we know Epstein had a list of very important names connected to him. Yet, despite that, we don&#8217;t have a single name as to whom he was servicing. We know he was flying powerful figures to and from the island where his egregious sexual crimes took place. He has ties to Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and countless others — yet nobody has been arrested.
And so instead, Maxwell takes the fall completely.
Now, is she guilty of some awful things? Yes, of course. Still, I suspect she&#8217;s become the sole scapegoat for this entire operation. Many more people should have been arrested.
What else is bizarre about this story? Well, Maxwell apparently thinks the British Royal, Prince Andrew, is innocent of the claims against him.
Prince Andrew was allegedly photographed with Virginia Giuffre — allegedly one of the underage girls trafficked by Epstein. The story has been he had sex with her, though it has never been proven.
Maxwell, however, says the infamous photo is fake. 
“I don’t believe it’s real for a second,” Maxwell said of the photo. “In fact, I’m sure it’s not … there’s never been an original. Further, there’s no photograph. I’ve only ever seen a photocopy of it.”

Prince Andrew has maintained his innocence through it all. Many people do not believe him.
Personally, I don&#8217;t know where I stand on it — not enough information has been revealed for me to have a well-formed opinion on it. A picture can be worth a thousand words, or it can be just a picture being entirely misconstrued.
Of course, if Prince Andrew is involved in this, then he should go to prison as well.
Needless to say, this isn’t over. Maxwell’s latest interview raises more questions than it answers.

Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, died at the age of 66 in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after being arrested on sex trafficking charges involving young girls.
A New York City medical examiner <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/16/jeffrey-epstein-cause-of-death-coroner-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined he died by suicide</a>, but &#8220;Epstein Didn&#8217;t Kill Himself&#8221; quickly became a meme that persists this day.

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Believes Jeffrey Epstein Was Murdered

Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a 20-year-sentence in prison, is reportedly holding “etiquette” classes for female prisoners that allegedly include guidance on &#8220;moral&#8221; behavior.
Maxwell, 52, is serving her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida.
“Taught by Mrs. Maxwell this course teaches the three principles of etiquette – focusing on respect, consideration and honesty,” a flyer for the twice-weekly sessions read, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11606861/Ghislaine-Maxwell-hosting-etiquette-classes-inmates.html">according</a> to The Daily Mail, which quoted sources at the prison saying Maxwell taught good manners and how to conduct oneself in a business interview. Maxwell teaches about “women’s empowerment and the need to ‘maintain high moral standards,’” The Daily Mail reported.
Maxwell is reportedly conducting the classes in both English and Spanish as a Colombian inmate translates for her.
“It&#8217;s less about balancing books on heads and being ladylike, and more about having confidence in yourself – how to behave and talk in a professional manner, the secrets of success in the corporate world, that sort of thing,” a source told The Daily Mail. “Miss Maxwell&#8217;s message is, so what if you&#8217;re a woman and a convicted felon, you&#8217;re not a second class citizen. She&#8217;s an unlikely role model but she&#8217;s very passionate about this.”
Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five federal sex trafficking charges, including conspiracy to entice individuals under 17 to travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in &#8220;illegal sexual activity,&#8221; conspiracy to transport individuals under 17 to travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in &#8220;illegal sexual activity,&#8221; transportation of an individual under 17 with intent to engage in &#8220;illegal sexual activity,&#8221; conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of individuals under 18, and sex trafficking of an individual under 18.
One of Maxwell&#8217;s accusers, a woman testifying under the pseudonym  “Jane,” testified that Epstein and Maxwell abused her together when she was just 14 years old. Maxwell took her on shopping trips, asked her about her life, and discussed sexual topics with her, “Jane” said.
Three other women who say they were groomed or abused by Maxwell also testified. A woman testifying under the name “Kate” told the court that Maxwell set up meetings for girls to give Epstein sexualized massages. Another woman, Carolyn, testifying only under her first name, said that she was 14 when Maxwell touched her breasts and behind and told her she “had a great body for Epstein and his friends.” Annie Farmer, testifying under her real full name, last testified on Friday and said Maxwell massaged her naked breasts when she was 16.

Epstein's Ex-Girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell Reportedly Teaching Etiquette Classes In Prison 

Prison

An alleged victim of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> claimed in newly unsealed emails that she had copies of blackmail videos that the deceased financier took of his associates.
Sarah Ransome made the claims in emails that were <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/giuffre-v-maxwell/?filed_after=&amp;filed_before=&amp;entry_gte=&amp;entry_lte=&amp;order_by=desc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unsealed</a> on Monday alongside other documents connected to Virginia Giuffre&#8217;s 2015 lawsuit against former Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as details about Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-orders-release-of-court-documents-that-may-shed-light-on-alleged-epstein-associates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continue</a> to trickle out.
“When my friend had sexual intercourse with [redacted] and [redacted], sex tapes were in fact filmed on each occasion by Jeffrey,” the email <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1296.17.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a>. “Thank God she managed to get ahold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes which clearly identify the faces of [redacted] and [redacted] having sexual intercourse with her. Frustratingly enough Epstein was not seen in any of the footage but he was clever like that.”
In the same email, she also claimed that her friend sent her the footage, which implicated the men who had allegedly had sex with her friend. Ransome, who released a book about her experience, said that she would be willing to testify in court over the videos’ validity.
“I will be more than willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these sex tapes,” she said. “It will break your heart into a million tiny pieces Maureen when you watch this footage.”
She added that she had backed up copies of the videos on USB sticks, which she had kept hidden at undisclosed locations throughout Europe. Ransome said that she told one individual where to find the evidence, “in case anything happens to me before the footage is released.”
She went on to claim that her friend had gone to the police and had been &#8220;humiliated&#8221; before a redacted entity &#8220;heavily intimidated her, roughed her up,” and made her promise secrecy. In the following paragraph, Ransome said her friend was &#8220;1000% certain that the FBI did a cover-up&#8221; and that a redacted name had threatened to kill her.
It is unclear when this email was written, but it appears to have been written to New York Post reporter Maureen Callahan. In other emails from October 2016 to Callahan, Ransome claims that she had reached out to Russian authorities to publicize her story, that the U.S. government refused to help her, that her fiancee&#8217;s life was in danger, and seemed to suggest that the CIA had hacked her emails.
However, in an October 23 email, she wrote back to Callahan claiming that she would &#8220;like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this.&#8221; She said she believed that it didn&#8217;t pay for her to come forward because bad things would happen to her. Her email concluded, &#8220;I wish you the best of luck on catching Epstein and company.&#8221;
Two other alleged victims of Epstein, Virginia Guiffre and Maria Farmer, have also made claims that the convicted sex criminal recorded videos of his wealthy friends having sex with girls he procured to have blackmail on them.
An FBI agent <a href="https://www.insider.com/fbi-used-saw-open-jeffrey-epstein-safe-hard-drives-diamonds-2021-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> in December 2021 that police had found hard drives in a safe during a raid on Epstein’s Manhattan home in July 2019. It is unclear what was found on the hard drives.
Ransome has also claimed that she had been forced to have sex with high-profile lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a claim Dershowitz has vigorously denied. She dropped her lawsuit against the lawyer in November.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has retained attorney Mark Cohen, the former prosecutor who recently defended <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> confidant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ghislaine Maxwell</a> and drug lord Joaquín &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzmán, as his insolvent cryptocurrency companies face legal scrutiny.
FTX recently filed for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bankruptcy</a> after users discovered that trading firm Alameda Research, a company run by former Bankman-Fried love interest Caroline Ellison, had allegedly been using funds from FTX to make bets. The entrepreneur appears to have lost billions in clients’ money, yet has not been charged with any crimes, although the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department are currently investigating his defunct empire.
Bankman-Fried spokesperson Mark Botnick confirmed in a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/ftxs-bankman-fried-hires-white-collar-defense-attorney-mark-cohen-2022-12-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to Reuters that the disgraced former billionaire has officially retained Cohen, a former assistant United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York. David Mills, a professor at Stanford Law School, where Bankman-Fried’s parents both teach, will serve as a consultant.

According to a federal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/two-presidents-and-a-prince-epsteins-former-pilot-testifies-famous-men-flew-on-sex-offenders-plane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indictment</a>, Maxwell “assisted, facilitated, and contributed” to Epstein’s abuse of minor girls between 1994 and 1997, even though both individuals knew that their victims were not adults. Maxwell was accused of “normalizing” the abuse by undressing in front of a victim, discussing sexual topics with other victims, and prompting them to give “sexualized massages” to Epstein. She allegedly tried to befriend victims by taking them on shopping excursions and asking about their lives.
Larry Visoski, who formerly worked as a pilot for Epstein’s private jet, testified in court that Maxwell was the sexual deviant’s “number two.” Influential world leaders and celebrities such as former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Prince Andrew of Britain, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and actor Kevin Spacey were among the individuals who allegedly flew on the aircraft, according to the aviator’s testimony.
Joaquín &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzmán, the mastermind behind the Sinaloa drug cartel, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/el-chapo-couldnt-escape-one-found-guilty-all-kassy-dillon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> three years ago on multiple charges related to narcotics distribution, illegal firearm possession, and money laundering. He had formerly escaped prison two times.
Although his lawyer has represented high-profile criminals, Bankman-Fried denies all accusations of wrongdoing. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sam-bankman-fried-denies-wrongdoing-in-ftx-implosion-during-live-streamed-new-york-times-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin last week that he is “deeply sorry about what happened,” and claimed that a “failure of oversight” on his part was responsible for the cryptocurrency venture&#8217;s implosion rather than any overt intention to defraud customers.
FTX emerged three years ago as an overnight success. Based in the Bahamas and incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda, multiple executives within the cryptocurrency empire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-democrats-and-republicans-who-received-campaign-cash-linked-to-bankrupt-crypto-empire-ftx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated extensively</a> to Democratic and Republican campaigns. Bankman-Fried was the second-largest contributor to the Biden campaign during the 2020 election cycle and the sixth-largest overall contributor during the recent midterm elections.
Many reporters were surprised that Bankman-Fried has been offering comments to media outlets given the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings for FTX, which the attorney who once oversaw the fallout from Enron described as the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawyer-overseeing-ftx-fallout-never-in-my-career-have-i-seen-such-a-complete-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">worst case</a> of corporate failure he has ever witnessed. In one message to a Vox reporter, Bankman-Fried admitted that his persona as an “effective altruist” was largely a ploy meant to earn the trust of “woke westerners.”

Sam Bankman-Fried

The estate of disgraced financier <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> agreed Wednesday to pay more than $105 million in settlement claims to the U.S. Virgin Islands after Epstein allegedly ran a sex trafficking operation and caused environmental damage from the property he owned in the territory.
Epstein, who died at a federal jail in New York in August 2019, was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls as young as 14. Epstein pleaded not guilty before his death.
Denise N. George, the attorney general for the U.S. Virgin Islands, told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/30/business/jeffrey-epstein-settlement-virgin-islands.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> in a statement from the beginning of the case that she met with three &#8220;very courageous&#8221; young women Epstein allegedly trafficked and sexually exploited on the infamous Little St. James Island.
&#8220;Our work has been inspired, humbled and fortified by the strength and courage of all of those who survived Epstein&#8217;s abuse,&#8221; George said, adding that authorities owe it the victims who were &#8220;so profoundly hurt to make changes that would help avoid future victims.&#8221;
George, whose office filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against Epstein&#8217;s estate in January 2020, settled after a year of negotiations.
Epstein&#8217;s estate must now repay more than $80 million in cash for one of his companies receiving tax benefits, which U.S. Virgin Islands officials told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/crime-caribbean-puerto-rico-jeffrey-epstein-us-virgin-islands-1d477010df10e24122c58b498d5b2f92" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Associated Press</a> Epstein and his co-defendants &#8220;fraudulently obtained to fuel his criminal enterprise.&#8221;
Officials also said the Epstein estate must pay half of the proceeds from the 70-acre Little St. James island sale, which real estate professionals have listed for $55 million, and the 160-acre Great St. James island sale for another $55 million, to the Virgin Islands.
Authorities said Epstein had ruins of colonial-era historical structures of slaves removed from Great St. James, which will cost the estate another $450,000 in environmental repairs.
&#8220;This settlement restores the faith of the people of the Virgin Islands that its laws will be enforced, without fear or favor, against those who break them,&#8221; George told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/jeffrey-epsteins-estate-agrees-pay-virgin-islands-105-million-settle-c-rcna59491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>. &#8220;We are sending a clear message that the Virgin Islands will not serve as a haven for human trafficking.&#8221;
Daniel Weiner, an Epstein estate attorney, told The Associated Press that co-executors deny any allegations of wrongdoing on their part.
&#8220;The co-executors ultimately concluded that the settlement is in the best interests of the estate, including its creditors and claimants, to avoid the time, expense and inherent uncertainties of protracted litigation,&#8221; Weiner told NBC News. &#8220;The settlement is consistent with the co-executors&#8217; stated intent and practice since their appointments to those roles — to resolve claims related to any misconduct by Jeffrey Epstein in a manner sensitive to those who suffered harm.&#8221;
Weiner further noted that Epstein&#8217;s estate paid more than $121 million to 136 victims through a compensation fund.

A  judge has said that documents containing the identities of victims and alleged associates of deceased convicted pedophile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> can be made available to the public. 
Judge Loretta Preska said Friday that several documents from a 2015 defamation trial against Epstein associate and convicted sex trafficker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell">Ghislaine Maxwell</a> could be unsealed as a a matter of public interest. 
The judge’s ruling will <a href="https://www.insider.com/judge-unseals-john-doe-identities-in-ghislaine-maxwell-litigation-2022-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allow</a> the names of several “John Does” to be revealed from a  seven-year-old trial in which Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre had sued Maxwell for defamation. Preska said that a lot of the “purportedly sensitive information” included in the documents had already been made public through Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial. 
Under contention were the real names of “Does” 12, 28, 97, 107, 144, 147, 171, and 183. “Doe 183” got a temporary delay to allow that individual to appeal. 
&#8220;That Doe&#8217;s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been a subject of intent media coverage, and Doe 183&#8217;s name has appeared in numerous places in unsealed portions of Ms. Maxwell&#8217;s criminal trial transcript,&#8221; Preska said Friday, according to a report from Insider. &#8220;In the court&#8217;s view, there&#8217;s no reason to redact Doe 183 from the documents.&#8221;
The names that were revealed included several alleged associates and victims of Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in a New York City jail cell in August 2019. 
Billionaire Hyatt Hotel executive Tom Pritzker, a cousin of Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, was one of the individuals named in the documents. He had hoped to keep his name sealed as he said it would harm his reputation. 
Giuffre has <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epsteins-powerful-pals-will-face-new-revelations-in-soon-to-be-unsealed-docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> him of having sex with her as part of Epstein’s trafficking scheme, but Pritzker has denied the allegations. Pritzker’s name was referenced in the documents during a deposition. 
Emmy Tayler, who was once employed as Maxwell’s personal trainer, name was also included in the sealed documents. She has contested the nature of her relationship with Maxwell, and said that she is innocent from any allegation of wrongdoing. 
One victim, Sarah Ransome, was also included in the documents while another’s name was kept secret due to “ongoing trauma.” Another name that will remain sealed was <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11445113/Dozens-documents-relating-late-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epsteins-associates-unsealed.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> as a “classic outsider” by Preska. 
All of the information from the unsealed documents will likely be made public in the coming weeks.

Judge Orders Release Of Court Documents That May Shed Light On Alleged Epstein Associates

Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein">Jeffrey Epstein</a> confidant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell">Ghislaine Maxwell</a> has been moved to a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, has been relocated to the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) Tallahassee by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), The Daily Mail first <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11044677/Ghislaine-Maxwell-moved-prison-Florida-life-luxury-Epsteins-Palm-Beach-mansion.html">reported</a>.
In December 2021, Maxwell was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epsteins-former-girlfriend-found-guilty-in-sex-abuse-trial">found guilty</a> on five of six federal charges in relation to her dealings with Epstein, including conspiracy to entice and transport individuals under 17 to travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in &#8220;illegal sexual activity.&#8221;
During her trial, the public learned more about how Epstein and Maxwell would prey on the girls they abused.
One of Maxwell’s accusers, a woman testifying under the pseudonym &#8220;Jane,&#8221; testified that Epstein and Maxwell abused her together when she was just 14 years old. Maxwell took her on shopping trips, asked her about her life, and discussed sexual topics with her, &#8220;Jane&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epsteins-former-girlfriend-found-guilty-in-sex-abuse-trial">said</a>.
Maxwell&#8217;s attorneys requested that she serve her jail time in Danbury, Connecticut. Federal Judge Alison Nathan recommended that location, but BOP denied the request.
The Tallahassee prison is an all-female institution with a wide variety of recreational activities that Maxwell will be allowed to participate in while serving her time.
The Daily Mail noted that Maxwell would have access to events like yoga, pilates, weights, softball, flag football, and frisbee. The British outlet indicated that she could also partake in a prison talent show.
Likewise, Maxwell can enter into apprenticeship programs to learn skills related to several vocations if she so desires.
Maxwell is now 60 years old and has been kept in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
In June, Maxwell&#8217;s lawyers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inmate-in-same-prison-housing-unit-as-ghislaine-maxwell-was-offered-money-to-murder-her-attorneys-say">alleged</a> in court documents that another inmate in the same prison housing unit as Maxwell was offered money to murder her.
The explosive claim was revealed in a report from The New York Times. The lawyers said that following her conviction, Maxwell was moved to the prison’s general population and became a “target of a credible death threat from a fellow inmate.”
“A prisoner in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle Ms. Maxwell in her sleep, the lawyers wrote,” the Times noted. “The inmate who made the threat was moved to a different unit, ‘presumably to protect Ms. Maxwell,'&#8221; the lawyers said.

Ghislaine Maxwell Moved To Low-Security Florida Prison

Executors of convicted sex offender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein">Jeffrey Epstein</a>’s estate have been accused by authorities of funneling about $13 million of the disgraced financier’s money to a trust that could lead to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/corruption">payouts</a> for the two men.
According to authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, both executors of Epstein’s estate, could receive payouts linked to the Butterfly Trust, an investment tool set up almost ten years ago by the accused sex trafficker.
“The government discovered that substantial funds kept secret from the government were transferred for the benefit of the coexecutors in an apparent effort to enrich themselves and shelter these assets from recovery,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/22/business/jeffrey-epstein-estate-assets.html">said</a> a filing from the attorney general for the Virgin Islands Denise George.
Almost a year after Epstein was found dead in his New York City jail cell and authorities ruled his death a suicide, $13 million was transferred to the Butterfly Trust in April 2020.
This transfer came after one Epstein investment was liquidated, and then some of it was transferred to other holdings from the Butterfly Trust, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/22/business/jeffrey-epstein-estate-assets.html">according</a> to The New York Times. Two of the entities that were transferred money were tied to the executors.
Epstein estate lawyer Daniel Weiner denied that the allegations against Indyke and Kahn were true and that both “categorically reject the baseless assertions of wrongdoing made against them.”
“The 2013 Butterfly Trust mentioned in today’s filing by Ms. George has nothing whatsoever to do with Mr. Epstein’s estate or any funds available to it,” he said.
New York bank regulators have stated that Epstein utilized the Butterfly Trust to pay individuals linked to his grooming of young girls for sexual abuse.
Litigation brought by authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands has been ongoing against Epstein’s estate for several years as litigators claimed Epstein unfairly benefited from tax benefits. The deceased financier owned two islands there, one of them known as the so-called “pedophile island.”
The new filing against Indyke and Kahn comes almost a month after longtime Epstein companion Ghislaine Maxwell was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-epstein-sex-trafficker-ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced">sentenced</a> to 20 years in prison after being convicted on multiple conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
The sentencing comes two years after Maxwell, 60, was arrested at her secretive million-dollar home in New Hampshire and was brought to New York to face justice. She has been in federal custody ever since because she was denied bail.
Maxwell was convicted in December of conspiring with Epstein to recruit, groom, and sexually abuse young girls.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-ag-bill-barr-dispels-theories-that-jeffrey-epstein-didnt-kill-himself">reportedly</a> killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial for his sex crimes. His longtime companion and ex-girlfriend, Maxwell, was sentenced last month to 20 years in prison for helping Epstein recruit, groom, and sexually abuse young girls, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-epstein-sex-trafficker-ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced">The Daily Wire</a> reported.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t know, like that&#8217;s just weird, like how all that just doesn&#8217;t compute with me,&#8221; Adesanya added.
Epstein reportedly had ties to former President Bill Clinton, allegedly even visiting the White House with numerous women, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-repeatedly-visited-clinton-white-house-brought-numerous-women-with-him-report">The Daily Wire</a> reported.

Adesanya in February made headlines when he fiercely defended popular podcast host Joe Rogan, who the Left smeared as racist and a promoter of &#8220;disinformation.&#8221;
The fighter took on a question that was not directed toward him during a pre-fight conference, calling Rogan “one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherf***ers” in the industry.
A reporter asked UFC President Dana White about the “controversy” surrounding Rogan and controversial language the podcaster has used on his show. As White started to walk away from the podium, Adesanya said he wanted to take on the question, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ufc-fighter-jumps-in-during-presser-to-passionately-defend-joe-rogan-im-black-i-can-take-this-one">The Daily Wire</a> reported.

“Look, there’s a lot of c***s in this game,” he told the reporter. “There are a lot of snakes in this game. I’ve been in this fight game since 2008. Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherf***ers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Understand that.”
“F*** the noise,” Adesanya added. “You know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man. He’s got the biggest platform in the world right now. That’s my n**** Joe Rogan.”
