Newly Released Epstein docs reveal fund scheme with Bill Gates, ties to Peter Thiel, and Wendi Murdoch.
Jeffrey Edward Epstein, a convicted sex offender and financier had powerful people on his list of contacts, according to new documents. It featured top officials, celebrities, and even royalty.
The findings from the Daily Mail are based on emails that were delivered to the government of the Virgin Islands by Epstein’s estate. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offenses, owned two Islands. The findings also show that Epstein tried to get JPMorgan involved in an elite donor fund that could be used by Bill Gates, among other discoveries.
According to LifeSiteNews, files newly released by the Daily Mail show late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein’s connections with media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s wife, Wendi, and tech investor Peter Thiel, as well as a fund scheme by Epstein that was to involve Bill Gates and JPMorgan, all after Epstein’s 2008 conviction of procuring a child for prostitution.
Some of the documents’ most important discoveries are former plans by Epstein to convince JPMorgan to work with Gates on an elite fund in which donors would contribute $100 million each. In April 2011, Bill Gates was scheduled for a dinner with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Jes Staley, who at the time was the head of JPMorgan’s investment bank.
Epstein suggested the fund would serve as a helpful alternative to what may be the well-established Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, claiming in an August 2011 email that the fund would “Allow Bill (Gates) to have access to higher quality people, investment, allocation, governance without upsetting either his marriage or the current sensitivities of the current foundation employees.”
The Daily Mail also shared, “At one point Epstein emailed Staley and Erdoes to complain that Gates is the ‘only person who counts.’”
The documents also indicated that Epstein appeared to comprehend personal details about the marriage of Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda. According to the records, he also rolled out the red carpets for Gates and Melinda at a dinner to persuade him to participate in a $100 million per person fund for the financial elite.
Conversely, JPMorgan Bank has been lately caught up in controversy about its scandalous links with Epstein, after the U.S Virgin Islands sued the bank for having “facilitated and sustained” Epstein’s expansive sex trafficking network. The legal complaint cites messages Epstein exchanged with Staley, who led a JPMorgan division that handled very wealthy clients, in which the two referred to presumed sex-trafficked girls by individual Disney Princess names.
The Daily Mail also shared discoveries from Epstein’s calendar and emails that indicate the child trafficker tried to use his friendship with Prince Andrew to convince big bank JPMorgan to permit himself to serve as a liaison for wealthy clients with a “checkered past.”
In accordance with Associated Press, in 2011, Epstein wrote bank executives, “I am also aware JPM has a colourful array of clients so a client relationship is much less problematic than an institutional joint venture.” In another email, Epstein wrote, “This will be very HIGH Profile…it will be the most exclusive of clubs.”
Touting his ties with Prince Andrew, Epstein offered himself as an intermediary who would prime the clients. He described it this way: “I cook it slowly, adding various ingredients, almost fully cook it and then want to turn it over to you.”
Jes Staley, who was the head of JPMorgan in the early 2010s, met Epstein 31 times in five years and on four occasions. During the meet-ups, Epstein’s schedulers were told to have “wine” ready for him as soon as he arrived, which could be a possible codeword for something else.
Epstein was also good friends with filmmaker Woody Allen as the files mention them having shared walks, diners, and private screenings, and they even seemed to have spent a New Year together at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.
The sex offender’s schedules featured personal numbers and email addresses that granted him to reach his associates every time he wanted. Epstein also had several dinners with the magician David Blaine and the sex criminal even had the remainder of the latter’s birthday on his calendar.
When Epstein sought to clear his image, he was scheduled to meet personalities like Chris Rock, Irina Shayk, and Richard Branson. Other personalities that appear in the documents are JPMorgan Chief Executive Jamie Dimon, early Facebook Investor Sean Parker, former Deputy Secretary of State and current CIA director William Burns, former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, and artist Jeff Koons.
Some of the high-profile individuals that met with Epstein include the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of Prince Andrew, Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who was also scheduled to meet with Epstein and former Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik.
Final thoughts
Given recent revelations, it is clear that Epstein was well-connected and had ties with several high-profile individuals in society. Epstein’s emails also suggested that he wanted to be linked to individuals with influence, and that’s why the documents include top officials, celebrities, and even royalties.
These revelations have sent shockwaves through the business and political communities, leaving us with more questions than answers. It serves as a chilling reminder to scrutinize further those in positions of power and influence that seem to hold full immunity no matter what they do.
Such revelations also serve as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining ethical standards and conducting thorough due diligence in our personal and professional networks. It is up to us to redefine the norms of conduct and demand accountability from those in positions of power.
Remember, in a world where information spreads rapidly, it is our duty to be vigilant and uphold the values we believe in. Together, we can build a world where integrity and transparency prevail.
