Brad Edwards repeatedly held Courtney Wild up as one of the clearest examples of how badly Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were failed by the federal justice system. Wild was only 14 when she was drawn into Epstein’s Palm Beach operation, and Edwards represented her for years in the legal fight over the secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement. He described her as extraordinarily determined and central to...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner was not just financial—it was the foundation of Epstein’s rise from a mysterious money manager to a figure embedded in the world of extreme wealth and power. Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria’s Secret, granted Epstein unprecedented access to his fortune, his homes, and his reputation. Epstein was given power of a...

The circumstances surrounding Jean-Luc Brunel’s death are extraordinarily difficult to separate from the unanswered questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s own death.

Larry Visoski was far more than Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime pilot. For nearly three decades, he occupied a critical logistical position inside Epstein’s world, flying him between New York, Palm Beach, New Mexico, the Virgin Islands and other destinations while gaining firsthand familiarity with Epstein’s properties, travel patterns, employees and associates. Visoski’s importance was underscored by...

Day four of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing, held July 9, centered on some of the prosecution’s most consequential evidence yet, including a recorded interview with Robinson’s former roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. In the interview, Twiggs described Robinson’s behavior after Charlie Kirk was killed and authenticated text exchanges in which Robinson allegedly admitted responsibili...

Deadline reported that the mystery surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent head injury at FCI Fort Dix deepened after the Federal Bureau of Prisons flatly denied reports that he was injured during a fight with convicted Jamaican drug trafficker Christopher “Dudus” Coke.

The piece argues that Ghislaine Maxwell’s U.S. citizenship could potentially be challenged because of answers she gave on her naturalization application before becoming a citizen in 2002. According to the story, Maxwell answered “no” when asked whether she had ever committed an offense for which she had not been arrested and whether she had been involved in procuring prostitution or related conduc...

Newly released High Court documents showed that Thames Valley Police feared Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could obstruct searches of his properties by arguing that officers needed permission from King Charles because the residences or property belonged to the Crown. Police searched Royal Lodge in Windsor and Andrew’s home on the Sandringham Estate in February while investigating allegations that he i...

A bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Robert Garcia, with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also backing the measure, introduced the Epstein Wall Street Records Act, legislation aimed at forcing federal regulators to examine the financial institutions and executives that maintained ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The bill would require agencies including the Federal Reserve an...

The Supreme Court has repeatedly declined to step into some of the biggest legal fights connected to Jeffrey Epstein, leaving lower-court rulings in place without issuing full opinions of its own. In February 2022, the Court refused to hear Courtney Wild’s challenge over the secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement, effectively leaving intact the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling that the Crime Victims’ Righ...

A guy like Jeffrey Epstein was able to move and hold enormous amounts of money offshore because the modern financial system gives wealthy people access to layers of secrecy that ordinary depositors never see. Offshore trusts, shell companies, private foundations, nominee directors, foreign banks and entities registered in secrecy-friendly jurisdictions can all be stacked together so that the perso...

Jane Doe #2’s 2007 statement to Marie Villafaña and federal investigators described a pattern of recruitment, abuse, and normalization inside Jeffrey Epstein’s operation, beginning when she was a minor. She said she was introduced to Epstein under the guise of paid “massage” work and quickly realized the encounters involved sexual acts, including being directed to perform sexual contact on Epstein...

Newly surfaced records show that Jeffrey Epstein maintained and actively pursued connections with Arab royal circles, particularly in Saudi Arabia, in the years after his 2008 conviction. The documents detail how Epstein received a high-status religious gift from Mecca and positioned himself as someone with access to elite international networks. Among the more revealing details is his attempt to...
