He was once a financial giant on Wall Street and the top richest man in the United States. Buy real estate all over the world and own countless single-family villas. Own a private farm in New Mexico and a private island in the Caribbean.
There are even more than one private jet, ranging from helicopters to Boeing 747s.
As a person, she is a socialite in the upper class, and her friends are either rich or expensive: there are political and business elites like Trump, as well as entertainment tycoons like Weinstein.
Someone once praised him: the new "Gatsby" of New York today. Epstein's life does fit well with the protagonist in The Great Gatsby . They are all self-made inspirational examples, they are all roaming freely in the upper class, and they are all suave playboys...
But unexpectedly, this compliment is also a prophecy. Because Epstein and Gatsby ended up just as much— not a happy one. In 2003, a Vanity Fair reporter named Vickie Ward was assigned by the editor-in-chief to write an article on Epstein. This is a commonplace biography, but one of Vicky's informants has revealed a shocking secret: Epstein may have sexually assaulted underage girls.
Since then, there has been thunder on the ground. Vicky continued to follow the clues, but unexpectedly, she discovered countless appalling atrocities. The main sites of abuse were three of Epstein's favorite private homes -- the New York townhouse, the Palm Beach mansion, and Little St. James Island. In the past few decades, this place has been the nightmare of countless victims... 1. Townhouse in New York - Facing the camera many years after the first case, the painter Maria still clearly remembers the hot day she graduated from the New York Academy of Art in 1995 the afternoon.
Her work was bought by Epstein at the graduation exhibition. Epstein "appreciated" her artistic talent and offered Maria an internship. The naive Maria thought that she had met a nobleman, and in addition to being overjoyed, she also recommended her 16-year-old sister Annie to him.
Epstein readily agreed and fully funded Anne's international study trip. But before leaving, Epstein tricked Annie into his private house on the grounds of a student party. The next morning, he molested Annie.
Annie was frightened, but at that time she chose to hold back and did not dare to tell anyone. And soon, facing Maria, Epstein also showed his fangs. One night, Epstein's girlfriend, Hillaine, said Epstein wanted Maria to massage him. Maria was reluctant, but she had no choice but to go because of Epstein. Maria timidly squeezed Epstein's foot twice, and Epstein motioned for Maria to sit beside him. Hillayne then sat down, and the two molested Maria's chest together.
Maria was terrified and sat there silently, crying alone. The next day, Epstein called Maria, wanting to use the money to settle matters.
Maria refused. At this time, she also knew the situation of her sister. The two came to the New York Police Department together and wanted to bring the culprit to justice. As a result, the New York police said when they heard Epstein's name: We are not the relevant department in this case, please be smart!
In desperation, the sisters found the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI took the testimony of the two seriously and sent them home to wait for the result. The two had been waiting for eight years when Vicky Ward found them. This is also the first official report to date. 2. Palm Beach Mansion - Compared with the situation of other girls in the sexual assault industry chain, perhaps Maria and Annie are relatively lucky. At least they were only molested and not sexually assaulted in the true sense. And at Epstein's most resident home, his Palm Beach, Florida mansion, the violence never stopped.
I have to admit that although Epstein was a beast, he was also extremely smart. He put a price tag on himself, $200 a time as long as the teenage girl came to give me a massage. The 200-dollar bill was not a small amount back then, and countless girls came to Epstein's house with this name.
Of course, you can't go through the front door, you have to go around through the back door. During the massage, Epstein began to move his feet. At this time, the girls' reactions were also clearly divided into two categories: the first type of girls did not have the courage to refuse. After all, this is Epstein's private territory, and no one can guarantee that fierce resistance will lead to disasters.
The second category of girls expressly refused. But Epstein will not be angry, he will calmly negotiate terms with the other party: I can not sexually assault you, but you must help me develop more girls, otherwise you will look good. Under coercion and temptation, these girls were forced to lose their conscience and recommend their friends or classmates to come here.
The same caliber is still helping a kind and rich man do a massage. This way of developing offline, to put it bluntly, is pyramid selling. Epstein's cunning philistines are on display here. So far, no one can clearly know how many girls Epstein has left a lifetime of nightmares here. 3. Little St. James Island - The Devil's Paradise The subtitle of the film "Filthy Rich", literally translated, is "Dirty Fortune". But Shiro prefers another translation of it: "Rich Prostitution". Rich prostitution, homonym with "rich man".
This just alludes to the fact that there are many more rich people who are in sympathy with Epstein. Epstein had a private island, Little St. James Island in the Caribbean Sea. But many people gave it another name: Loli Island.
Countless underage girls have been brought here and used by the powerful to vent their animalistic desires. For decades, the island served as an outcast for Epstein and his friends to indulge in. Public figures known to have visited here include former US President Bill Clinton, current US President Donald Trump, Hollywood PR magnate Harvey Weinstein, superstar Kevin Spacey, and British Prince Andrew of the Royal Family and more.
Seeing this list, Shiro couldn't help but sigh, it really is like people gather together, people are divided into groups. During Clinton 's tenure, there was a scandal of cheating on a White House intern;
Weinstein was also sacked for sexual assault and will now spend the rest of his life in prison.
Kevin Spacey was also banned from the global entertainment industry for homosexual harassment.
As for Trump , before Epstein's scandal was exposed, the two had a close personal relationship.
Now, his front foot denies knowing the existence of Loli Island, and his back foot says he knows about it, but he has never been there. Every move, like a primary school student who was caught by the teacher and didn't finish his homework.
Although Prince Andrew did not fall under the law, there are witnesses and material evidence, and the victims are still seeking to confront him in court. The upper-class Ukiyo-e, who was embarrassed, was clearly seen in this incident.
In 2008, Vicky and the victims, after thinking they had enough evidence, brought Epstein to court with a complaint. Before that, they had been threatened more than once. Even Vicky's boss once picked up a kitten's head and a bullet at the door of the house.
In court, Epstein's arrogant behavior was equally outrageous. Epstein panicked when the trial accused Epstein of sexually assaulting three 12-year-old foreign girls on their birthdays.
But when the private lawyer made a sophistry for him, he showed a fox smile again, wanton provocation of the judge.
Ultimately, Epstein was charged with just two misdemeanors and sentenced to 18 months in prison. What's more jaw-dropping is still behind - Epstein not only has a high-standard private cell treatment, but he also works outside of prison six days a week, seven days a week.
Under such circumstances, he was still released on parole in the 13th month. What's the difference between sitting and not sitting in this prison? The victims were heartbroken and utterly hopeless.
Everything turned around in 2019. With the rise of the "Me too" movement, the criticism of Epstein has intensified. Police reopened their investigation and searched Epstein's New York townhouse, where a large number of obscene images of underage girls were found.
Finally, Epstein was charged with sexual crimes and conspiracy. The victims stood shoulder-to-shoulder, arm in arm, ready to attack Epstein.
The situation is very good. Unexpectedly, Epstein escaped punishment again. The reason is actually because... he, died. In the early morning of August 9, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in prison.
This is an ending that everyone is unwilling to accept, and even more unwilling to believe. After all, this is a prison dedicated to preventing suicide, and there have been few mistakes for decades. But just in the early morning of that day, the guard fell asleep just right, and the camera was broken just right. After the incident, a forensic doctor re-examined Epstein's body and found three scars that can only be caused by homicide.
The truth is confusing, and for a while, conspiracy theories abound. When the talk show host directly confronted Hillary Clinton how she murdered Epstein, Hillary smiled back. Some people also pointed the finger at this man——
But in short, dust to dust, dust to dust, Epstein just died. After all, the victims still waited for an unhappy ending. They are unwilling, they are angry, they are helpless.
At the beginning of this year, the reporter paid a return visit to Maria. She is currently working on creating a performance art painting for every Epstein victim. She wants to use her actions to bring courage and encouragement to these sisters. But some scars, perhaps, take a lifetime to heal.
The devil is dead, but the haze left by the devil is still there. Epstein secretly transferred all of his assets before he died. But Epstein did not get married, let alone have no children, and the inheritance was uninherited. So a family tree service agency started a campaign to "find Epstein's heirs" under the commission of a legal agency . So far, more than 386 informants have contacted agency officials. Among them, nearly 130 people said they were Epstein's illegitimate son and wanted to share a "legacy". Shiro has to say that this man's blood steamed buns are more energetic when they are made and more fragrant when they are eaten.
In addition, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and accomplice in the case, Hillaine , successfully cleared himself of the crime. And Acosta , the justice official who let Epstein go unpunished , later took the post of U.S. Secretary of Labor. After the incident, he just resigned, but he was not punished by law.
The aftermath has not subsided, and the truth has a long way to go. Fortunately, there will always be Vicky, there will always be Maria, there will always be lawyers and journalists who are running for it, and there will always be victims who are not afraid of power and resist desperately.
Here, Shiro also wants to support another case. It has been two months since Bao Yuming 's case was exposed on April 8. It seems... it seems, there is no movement. I hope that the truth will not be buried, and that justice will never fade away.
