On January 3, local time, Federal Judge Presca in Manhattan, New York, issued a court order, requiring the disclosure of hundreds of sealed court documents in early 2024, including the disclosure of the identities of hundreds of people related to the case of Epstein, a "rich businessman" in the United States, which has aroused great concern in American society.
As a former billionaire, the "modern-day Gatsby" in the media's mouth, and a demon who organizes sex trafficking and trafficking underage women, more than four years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, the American political and business world is still living in fear of being dominated by his scandals. According to media reports, the first batch of public court documents is 943 pages long and involves at least 184 celebrities, including former US presidents Donald Trump and Clinton, former US Vice President Al Gore, and Britain's Prince Andrew. However, the mention of these names in the document does not mean that they face charges or prove that they have violated the law.
Celebrities in politics and business are on the list
Epstein's path to wealth is legendary, and in 1976, as a college teacher, Epstein befriended Ace Greenberg, a wealthy student's parent, who recruited him into his investment firm. Later, Greenberg found out that Epstein had violated the company's finances and fired him.
Since then, Epstein has embraced the laps of other entrepreneurs, gloved white wolves in the financial business, and roamed the edge of the law, but he can escape unscathed, and his assets have accumulated rapidly. In order to further win people's hearts, Epstein set his sights on a more crooked way - to build his own "empire".
Epstein Private Island
Epstein turned his private island in the Caribbean into an "" for the pleasure of the elite, teaming up with his ex-girlfriend, Maxwell, a British socialite, to abduct young girls, including several underage girls, under the pretext of recruiting masseurs.

In court documents, former U.S. President Bill Clinton was named "John Doe 36," a code name that is mentioned more than 50 times in the latest releases. According to the testimony of Johanna Scheberg, a victim of the Epstein affair, Epstein told her bluntly: "Clinton likes young [girls]." She said there were dealings between Epstein and Mrs. Clinton, and that there were certain "deals."
At one point, Mrs. Clinton had a very close relationship with Epstein, who visited the White House at least 17 times during his presidency. Clinton also flew on Epstein's private jet several times. According to local media reports, Epstein's small island mansion even harbors a portrait of Clinton's "women's clothing boss." Back in 2019, Clinton tried to distance herself from Epstein, saying she had no knowledge of the "horrific crimes" he had committed. On January 3, Clinton's spokesman reiterated that "it has been almost 20 years since the last contact between the two sides."

Former President Donald Trump appeared in the declassified documents at least four times and was also close to Epstein. In a newly disclosed confession, Mr. Sherberg said that at one point-by-minute time when Mr. Epstein's private jet landed in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mr. Epstein said, "We called Trump and went to his casino together." However, Scheberg denied that he had provided him with any "services". In 2019, Mr. Trump also said he had not been in contact with Mr. Epstein for 15 years.

With the release of the documents, Prince Andrew, who has long been discredited by the "Epstein case", has once again disgraced the British royal family. Ms. Sherberg said she hosted Prince Andrew in 2001 at Mr. Epstein's Manhattan apartment. As soon as they met, they made indecent acts and were photographed. Another victim, Virginia Giuffrey, sued, alleging that Epstein had three times forced her to provide "services" to Prince Andrew, saying that "whatever the prince asked, he did his best to meet it." ”

They are also on the list
Celebrities from all walks of life are also involved in the document, including magician David Copperfield, the late singer Michael Jackson, movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Kevin Spacey, supermodel "Black Pearl", and even the late famous scientist Stephen Hawking. Again, not everyone on the list was involved in the abuse, some were mentioned in passing when witnesses testified, some were mentioned in Epstein's conversations, and some were briefly intersected with Epstein.
According to previous reports, Epstein has been wandering the upper social circle in the United States before "overturning", and is also willing to do "scientific charity". Stephen Hawking participated in the Scientists' Charity Symposium sponsored and organized by Epstein, with the participation of 21 internationally renowned scientists, including several Nobel laureates. In addition to his activities at the resort, Epstein allegedly brought numerous scientists to what he later became infamous on the island, but there is no evidence that the workshop involved illegal activities.

A lawyer named Brad Edwards, who has been following up on the "Epstein" case for years, published a book in 2020 in which he mentioned that Jackson had visited Epstein's mansion in Florida. Court documents released this time corroborate this, with witnesses saying that she had seen Jackson at Epstein's home, but that she did not give Jackson a "massage" as she did with other guests.
According to Edwards' book, Copperfield was another frequent visitor to Epstein's Florida mansion, but the newly released documents do not contain Copperfield's charges. The witness, Mr. Sherberry, said that Mr. Copperfield had come to perform for Mr. Epstein's guests, and that he had spoken to Ms. Sherberg, asking her if she knew that "there was money to be paid for recruiting other girls for Mr. Epstein."

Epstein's bizarre death
In 2005, Epstein was criminally charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl, and after an 11-month undercover police investigation, Epstein was arrested in 2008, but was sentenced to 18 months of "detention and parole on duty" for "abetting underage girls in prostitution" by virtue of his power in law enforcement agencies, which means he can go for a walk outside the prison at any time. There are reports that Epstein installed surveillance cameras all over the island to collect the "handles" of celebrities for his own use.
However, Epstein, who had "black material" in his hand, was not so lucky when he was convicted for the second time. In July 2019, Epstein was arrested again in connection with sex trafficking cases with minors in Florida and New York. In August of that year, Epstein died in a controlled prison in Manhattan, officially by suicide, but there were many suspicions.

The autopsy revealed multiple fractures in Epstein's neck, one of which was a hyoid fracture. Jonathan Ardennes, president of the American Forensic Medical Association, analyzed that hyoid bone rupture is usually associated with murderous strangulation, but the possibility of suicide is not ruled out. In addition, a law enforcement officer said prison guards were supposed to check on Epstein every 30 minutes, but that didn't happen on the night of his suicide, and Epstein's former cellmates were transferred for unknown reasons.
"Epstein's suicide" quickly fermented on the Internet to ferment conspiracy theories, Epstein's brother Mark also expressed concern for his life, he believes that his brother was "killed" because "he knows too much". On January 3, Mark revealed in his latest exclusive interview that Epstein had a lot of black information about the former presidential candidates of both parties in the United States during his lifetime, and he told Mark in 2016: "If I shake the two candidates (Hillary and Trump) out of the matter, they will have to cancel the race outright." ”
According to some media, the "Epstein case" has severely revealed the systemic flaws of Western society and the urgent need for justice and transparency. Many people once thought that Epstein's death had taken away countless secrets of American political and business celebrities, but with the declassification of the documents this time, more and more dirty deals have gradually been exposed to the world, allowing people to see how many lice crawled inside this gorgeous robe.
