Mainstream Media Is Avoiding the Big Story on Jeffrey Epstein and Sealed Court Documents

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: January 3, 2024 ~

Over the past week, more than a dozen of the biggest mainstream news outlets have published articles about the possibility of scandalous news breaking this week from the unsealing of documents in a federal court case involving the sex trafficker of minors, Jeffrey Epstein.

Typically, responsible news outlets wait for the actual news to break before hyping the possibility of it breaking. At 5:59 a.m. this morning, Newsweek updated the story as follows:

“Some on social media are speculating that the public disclosure of more than 150 names associated with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been delayed.

“Judge Loretta A. Preska signed an order on December 18 for the public release of the identities of more than 150 people mentioned in court documents from a now-settled 2015 civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre that centered on allegations that Epstein’s associate and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated her sexual abuse.

“Several prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew are expected to be named. The list will also include sex abuse victims and Epstein’s employees.”

Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, and dozens of other prominent men in politics, finance and law have already been named, repeatedly, in the media as people who socialized or had suspect dealings with Epstein. So this is not a new story.

The real story that mainstream media refuses to investigate is why federal judges in New York have been allowed to secret away in sealed documents the puzzle pieces to how Epstein’s network of powerful men were able to run a sex trafficking ring for two decades with the “active participation” of the largest federally-insured bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase; and right under the nose of its Chairman, CEO and media darling, Jamie Dimon.

This is the Big Story that has been left to wilt on the vine by the likes of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and their peers.

The answers to this Big Story will not be found in the documents slated to be unsealed by Judge Loretta Preska in the Virginia Giuffre case. They have been sealed and locked up tight in Judge Jed Rakoff’s courtroom after he oversaw multiple Epstein-related lawsuits brought against JPMorgan Chase in late 2022 and 2023.

One case, Jane Doe v JPMorgan Chase, was a class action on behalf of Epstein’s sex assault and sex trafficked victims. Judge Rakoff approved its settlement for $290 million despite objections from 17 Attorneys General and the settlement’s unconscionable terms that included releasing claims for “harm, injury, abuse, exploitation, or trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein or by any person who is in any way connected to or otherwise associated with Jeffrey Epstein, as well as any right to recovery on account thereof.” Claimants were also required to sign the release form before they learned if they would get a dime from the settlement.

Attorneys for the victims were not left in any such doubt. The settlement terms provided them with $87 million in legal fees and $2.5 million in expenses.

Releasing claims against “Any person who is in any way connected to or otherwise associated with Jeffrey Epstein” conveniently includes a number of billionaires referred by Epstein to JPMorgan Chase as clients. There are also literally hundreds of high-profile individuals that were listed in Epstein’s little black book that could be considered “connected” to him.

Many of the individuals listed in Epstein’s little black book – a total of 1,571 – have had important banking relationships with JPMorgan Chase. In a court filing on July 26 of last year by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which has since settled its Epstein-related case against JPMorgan Chase for $75 million, it listed the following individuals as people Epstein referred as clients to the bank: Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates; Google co-founder and billionaire Sergey Brin; the Sultan of Dubai, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem; media and real estate billionaire Mort Zuckerman; and numerous others.

Epstein’s victims charged in their lawsuit that JPMorgan Chase had, for more than a decade, provided Epstein with cozy banking services, which included sluicing to him millions of dollars in hard cash from his accounts, sometimes as much as $40,000 to $80,000 a month. The bank failed to file the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that it is legally required to file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for those payments in cash. Epstein’s alleged quid pro quo with the bank included him referring valuable business deals and clients to JPMorgan Chase. These allegations were substantiated by 22 pages of internal bank emails released in the related case brought against the bank by the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A third Epstein-related case was brought against JPMorgan Chase in Rakoff’s court by two public pension funds that owned shares of JPMorgan Chase. That lawsuit named Dimon as a defendant as well as current and former members of JPMorgan Chase’s Board of Directors. It was brought by a prominent class action law firm on behalf of shareholders of the bank. The lawsuit’s theory of the case was that specific members of the Board of JPMorgan Chase “put their heads in the sand” and ignored that the bank had become a cash conduit for Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring because they were hoping that their own verifiable business ties to Epstein “would go unnoticed.” (We might add an attendant thesis: that Dimon takes very good care of his Board in return for them taking very good care of him.)

Mainstream media ignored the allegations that members of the JPMorgan Chase Board of Directors had business ties with Epstein and Judge Rakoff wasted no time in dismissing the case on technical grounds. (This was not the first time that a major scandal involving JPMorgan Chase received a news blackout by mainstream media.)

The other Big Story is why after 18 years of police and FBI investigations of Epstein and his wide sex trafficking ring, the U.S. Department of Justice has brought criminal charges against only two people: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

There is also no indication, at present, that the Justice Department is preparing to bring a criminal case against JPMorgan Chase, despite its recidivist history of felony charges (including two felony counts for money laundering) and a former FBI agent’s statement on how the bank “impeded” a criminal investigation of Epstein. (See: New Court Documents Suggest the Justice Department Under Four Presidents Covered Up Jeffrey Epstein’s Money Laundering at JPMorgan Chase.)

Two different stories, draw your own conclusions, the rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

The Deepest Dive on the Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy, Part 2 Photodump

Episode 177: The Deepest Dive on The Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy, PART 2 *IS LIVE*! Image 01: In the summer of 2022, Ghislane Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in a federal prison for sex trafficking minors to Jeffrey Epstein. Image 02: Ghislane’s father, Robert Maxwell, was a war hero turned publishing tycoon. Robert was rumored to be a super spy, using his publishing companies as a network to garner intelligence. Image 03: Only a few months after being accused of outing the identity of an anonymous Israeli whistleblower, Robert was found floating naked and dead in the sea. Upon his death, it was revealed that Robert’s companies were in over 1 billion dollars of debt. Although Robert’s death was ruled a “heart attack combined with drowning,” the explanation never sat well with the public. Image 04: In quite possibly the hardest book ever forged, authors Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillion allege that Robert was a super spy who sold intelligence mining software to every agency on the globe. Image 05: When this infamous photo of 17 year old Virginia with Prince Andrew’s arm wrapped around her waist went public, The Duke of York claimed the image was a fake. Later, the image was found to be real by the FBI. Image 06-07: In an interview with the BBC, Prince Andrew denied ever having been with Virginia the night she claimed they had sex. Image 08: After Prince Andrew’s claim he was “too big” for bathtub sex did not quiet the rumors, Ghislane’s family published a photo of 2 people wearing masks in a bathtub to “clear his name.” Image 09: Ghislane staged photos of her in public reading a book at IN-N-OUT in Los Angeles. The photos were released to the public through her PR team. Ghislane had not been photographed in public since 2016. Image 10: The book Ghislane staged her photos with. Coincidentally, Ghislane’s 2 sisters were the developers behind software that aids “anti terrorism” efforts by law enforcement in the United States. What do you guys think? Is Prince Andrew evil or just dumb? Is Ghislane a spy? Is the FBI full of Haunties now?

1. Ghislaine Maxwell's father had an agreement with Elton John to buy Watford

They had something else in common:

Maxwell & John — plus Richard Branson (who lauded Ghislaine's TerraMar — and Lord Janner (serial pedophile) — were ALL clients of George Carman

2. A client of Dr Joan Coleman told the psychiatrist that ELTON JOHN's details had been seen on a list of financial contributors to a group involved in ritual sexual abuse and murder.

The alleged list was reportedly on a laptop owned by Hambro's Mark Davis:

3. Graham X claimed to have supplied ELTON JOHN & Elton's pal BILLY GAFF with 10 boys for an alleged 1986 pedo party at Gaff's home

Gaff had managed the career of Elton John's other bestie: Rod Stewart

4. Separately, a 19-year-old complainant (Malcolm X) told the Sun that, in the early 1980s, ELTON JOHN and a man thought to be John's then-partner, Vance Buck, had raped him as an underage youth at Woodside after plying him with cocaine.

5. The Guardian 1988:

"A man who supplied boys was found guilty

Charles Springall and codefendant Tony Bowles were links in a chain

The parties took place at the home of BILLY GAFF where the ex-manager of Rod Stewart watched boys have sex

6. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ELTON?

Robert Maxwell

-- ruthless, volatile, defiant; a man of gargantuan appetites, for food, wine, women, power, money

-- unabashedly bared his ambition to the world, as he strove to build a publishing empire. But, throughout his career, Robert Maxwell also nurtured another, more driving, and

-- until now

-- altogether hidden ambition and that was to spy for Israel's Mossad.

.

In the end, as Gordon Thomas, an author who has long been trolling the murky waters of international intelligence, shows in this gripping narrative, the conflict between the tycoon's public interests and the spy's secret pursuits led to his mysterious death, officially by drowning, in November 1991, offshore of the Canary Islands.

.

According to Thomas's well-placed sources in Israel, Washington, and London, Maxwell first came into Mossad's orbit in the 1970s, when the crack Israeli spy organization stole from the United States its most sophisticated piece of intelligence-gathering software, Enhanced Promis. Of it, Mossad made an electronic Trojan horse, secretly amassing strictly classified information from inside the organizations they were selling it worldwide .

.

Mossad's representative for these susceptible transactions costing tens of millions of dollars in China, Russia, India, and twenty other countries was Robert Maxwell. Only Maxwell was also helping himself to some of Mossad's profits

-- as well as 750 million from his employees' pension fund

-- in desperate attempts to maintain his empire and to meet the demands of increasingly intolerant creditors.

.

Aboard his yacht [Lady Ghislaine] that November night in 1991 Maxwell no doubt still clung to the hope of a bailout by Mossad. But Mossad's spymasters could not afford to smile on blackmail. This book reveals all the shocking reasons why.

.

Eight pages of black-and-white photographs add to this astonishing tale of international intrigue, espionage, the Mossad, and murder.
