INTRO: THE FINAL LAYER

Welcome to the third and final deep-dive exposé on the Epstein network.

By now, you’ve seen the setup. You’ve seen how Epstein was protected. How the media lied. How the legal system went to great lengths to ensure he never spoke. But there’s still one question that cuts deeper than all the rest:

Who were the clients?

Not just the ones on the planes or in the photos, but the ones he worked for. The ones who funded, shielded, and benefited from the operation. The ones who gave him power, and the ones he compromised.

This final part ties up the last loose end.
We’ll name names.
We’ll follow the money.
And we’ll show you how Epstein’s network didn’t die, it evolved.

Because Epstein was never the real story.
He was the bait.

THE THIEL CONNECTION: EPSTEIN’S LAST GOLDMINE

Peter Thiel, Republican megadonor and billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, was one of the few willing to do business with Jeffrey Epstein long after his 2008 conviction.

🔍 While most distanced themselves after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, Thiel engaged him in multiple meetings in 2014, including a bizarre dinner with Woody Allen. Emails uncovered by The Daily Beast show back-to-back meetings between Epstein and Thiel throughout September that year.

Thiel didn’t just brush shoulders with Epstein.

He made him richer. Much richer.

  • In 2015 and 2016, Epstein invested $40 million into Thiel’s venture capital firm Valar Ventures, a stake that ballooned to $170 million, becoming the largest known asset in Epstein’s estate.

  • These investments were kept secret for years, only uncovered in a 2023 New York Times report.

  • Palantir went on to win $1 billion defense contracts and become a central player in government surveillance, vaccine logistics, and AI warfare.

  • Thiel’s reach expanded globally, including UK NHS pandemic software, DoD surveillance, and vaccine distribution in the U.S.

  • Epstein laid the groundwork for Palantir’s rise, and Thiel profited.

  • As of today, Thiel is still holding Epstein-linked funds in a growing trust, shielded from Epstein’s victims. Victims get nothing, Epstein’s estate profits millions.

And there’s more:

  • Epstein’s New Albany mega-project, now worth hundreds of billions, sits near Thiel’s other investments.

  • Epstein's VC portfolio, connected to Thiel, was unusually rare, raising red flags about why this deal was made and what Epstein had to offer.

Epstein didn’t just escape justice, he cashed out.

And Thiel helped him do it, knowingly or not.

If Epstein is still alive, Thiel is one of his last sources of money.

🇺🇸 THE TRUMP CONNECTION: “TERRIFIC GUY,” CLOSE FRIEND, AND CLIENT?

Trump’s defenders claim he “kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago”, a half-truth repeated endlessly. But the receipts tell a different story.


For decades, Trump and Epstein were close friends. They shared girlfriends, they went to parties, and Epstein was at Trump’s wedding. Years of partying, praise, business, and silence, even after Epstein’s conviction.

Trump didn’t just know Epstein.
He enabled, elevated, and protected him, until the end, even now.

📉 Here are the facts:

🛑 DOCUMENTED TIES, DISTURBING CLAIMS

  • A civil rape lawsuit filed in 2016 alleged that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse.
    • Later dropped after alleged threats.

  • President Donald Trump’s former chief of staff claims the president IS IN the Epstein files, and on a list of the child sex offender’s associates.

  • Photos show Trump repeatedly with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1990s.

  • This week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Trump gave Mr. Epstein a note for his 50th birthday in 2003 that included a sketch of a naked woman and a cryptic reference to a “secret” the two men shared. Mr. Trump has denied writing the message and filed a libel lawsuit on Friday, challenging the story.

  • In 2005, Donald Trump bragged about pressuring teen pageant contestants to sleep with him and walking in on them as they were changing. "As the owner of the pageant, it's your obligation to do that..."

  • One of the young women who later said Mr. Epstein groomed and abused her was recruited into his world while working as a spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

  • Another accuser recalled being eyed by Mr. Trump during a brief encounter in Mr. Epstein’s office, and claimed that Mr. Epstein had told Mr. Trump at the time that “she’s not for you.”

  • Esptein’s ex-girlfriend said that Mr. Trump groped her when Mr. Epstein brought her to Trump Tower in Manhattan to meet him. She said, “Jeffrey talked about Trump all the time.”

  • The organiser of the Mar’a’Lago event, where Trump is seen with Epstein, Mr. Houraney’s then-girlfriend and business partner, Jill Harth, accused Trump of sexual misconduct on the night of the party. In a lawsuit, Ms. Harth said that Mr. Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving.

    • She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Mr. Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited…

  • Trump’s first wife was a friend of Ghislaine Maxwell…

👠 MELANIA, GHISLAINE & THE MODELING CIRCUIT

  • Melania met Trump at a party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell’s friend Paolo Zampolli.

  • Zampolli was Melania’s agent, Epstein-linked, ran modelling agencies, and served on Ghislaine’s TerraMar board.

  • Zampolli set Melania up with an Einstein visa, brought her to New York, got her an apartment in Union Square, and introduced her to the elite circle.

  • Zampolli came from a wealthy Milanese family and took over his father’s toy company (my pedo sense is ringing) & sold it to the notorious convicted PEDOPHILE billionaire Silvio Berlusconi, who went on to become prime minister, caught throwing regular orgies.

  • Trump appointed Paolo Zampolli as special envoy to Italy

  • Epstein told author Michael Wolff this about Melania and trump:

  • Epstein knew Melania before Trump did, and was involved in how they met.

    Melania and Zampoli in the apartment he got for her.

🛬 FLIGHT LOGS & FAMILY TRIPS

  • Trump flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times in the 1990s, per 2025 flight log releases.

  • His wife, Marla Maples, his young daughter Tiffany, and his nanny were on board.

  • Elon Musk says there was a bed on the plane, a crucial detail.

🤐 WHITE HOUSE SILENCE & COVER-UP APPOINTMENTS

  • Trump appointed Alex Acosta, who gave Epstein and his co-conspirators the 2008 sweetheart immunity deal.

  • Trump appointed Bill Barr as Attorney General.
    • Barr claimed Epstein’s death was “just suicide.”
    • Guards fell asleep. Cameras failed. No arrests followed.
    • Barr’s father, Donald Barr, hired an unqualified Epstein in 1974 at an elite school, Epstein’s first major gig.

  • Epstein claimed he had “so much dirt on Trump and Clinton, if revealed, the 2016 election would’ve been cancelled.”

🧨 BANNON, LUTNICK, AND TRUMP’S CIRCLE

  • Steve Bannon met with Epstein multiple times, in NYC and Paris, after his conviction.

  • Bannon even coached Epstein for a 60 Minutes appearance, then “freaked out” after Epstein died, changing all his numbers.

  • Elon Musk says Bannon is on the Epstein list.

  • Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, lived next to Epstein, in a building where Epstein was the trustee.

🎙️ “THE PHOTOS STILL EXIST…”

  • Author Michael Wolff says Epstein showed him Polaroids of Trump cavorting with topless girls by the pool.

  • Wolff says the FBI took those from Epstein’s safe and still has them.

👇 THE BOTTOM LINE:

  • Trump was never just a bystander.

  • He called Epstein a friend.

  • He partied with him for decades.

  • He appointed every official who protected Epstein, then helped bury the truth.

🧩 CONNECTIONS TO BIDEN

Silence is complicity, and Biden’s DOJ buried the case.

While Trump partied with Epstein, Biden helped bury the truth. His DOJ sealed the files, protected the network, and ensured no client list would ever be released.

The Details:

  • Hunter Biden was a business partner with Nathan Wolfe, a tech bio-surveillance figure who appeared in Epstein’s black book and had ties to Ghislaine Maxwell’s TerraMar project.

  • Biden appointed Merrick Garland as Attorney General, and Garland’s DOJ shut down the Epstein investigation without naming a single client.

  • Garland’s office sealed over 10,000 documents related to Epstein’s network, concluding in January 2024:

  • Garland also protected Bill Gates, refusing to act on ties between Gates and Epstein despite damning evidence.

  • Despite the global attention, Biden has never once acknowledged the Epstein case publicly. Not a press conference. Not a statement.

  • Biden is tied to the same elite donor circles and institutions that Epstein and his clients operated through, universities, banks, NGOs, and intelligence-tied tech foundations.

  • Under Biden, the federal apparatus functioned not to investigate but to terminate the narrative.

The cover-up was bipartisan.

🧨 CONNECTIONS TO BILL CLINTON

“Don’t write human trafficking stories about my good friend Jeffrey Epstein.”

Clinton wasn’t just connected to Epstein; he protected him. And when the media got too close, he showed up in person to shut it down.

The Details:

  • 🚨 LEAKED: Court documents expose that Clinton personally visited Vanity Fair’s newsroom to demand and threaten them to drop a story on Epstein’s trafficking.

  • Clinton Flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 26 times between 2001 and 2003.

  • Epstein’s staff testified that Clinton visited his Palm Beach mansion.

  • Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers, stated Clinton was on the island, directly contradicting Clinton’s denials.

  • Clinton was photographed smiling with Ghislaine Maxwell at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010, after Epstein’s conviction.

  • Maintained ties to Epstein’s donor and social circles via the Clinton Foundation, which received millions from people close to Epstein.

  • Picture evidence shows Chauntae Davies, a Jeffrey Epstein victim, giving a back massage to Bill Clinton in 2002.

Clinton’s network didn’t just enable Epstein — it helped rehabilitate him, post-conviction.

🧨 CONNECTIONS TO BILL GATES

“Well, he’s dead now.”

Gates met Epstein repeatedly after his conviction, lied about it, and lobbied to keep the client list sealed, yet he still lectures the world about “ethics.”

The Details:

  • 🚨 Kash Patel: “Bill Gates has been lobbying Congress night and day to prevent the disclosure of the Epstein list.”

  • Met with Epstein multiple times between 2011 and 2013, after Epstein was a registered sex offender.

  • Visited Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and flew on his private jet.

  • Lied about the meetings. Only admitted to them once caught, saying:

  • Melinda Gates reportedly ended their marriage because of his ongoing relationship with Epstein.

  • The Gates Foundation donated to the MIT Media Lab, which covertly funneled Epstein-linked money into academic institutions.

  • Despite all of this, Gates remains uncharged, still shaping global health policy and AI regulation as if nothing happened.

The media frames him as a benevolent billionaire, but his ties to Epstein, lobbying efforts, and secret meetings say otherwise.

🧨 ALAN DERSHOWITZ

The face of legal rot.

Accused of abuse, defended Epstein, pushed to lower the age of consent, and still paraded on TV as a “legal expert” and Israel’s champion.

The Details:

  • Virginia Giuffre accused Dershowitz of sexual abuse, stating Epstein trafficked her to him when she was 16.

  • Named in Epstein’s flight logs and confirmed to have visited Epstein’s various properties.

  • Admitted to receiving massages at Epstein’s homes…

  • Filed defamation lawsuits against survivors, only to quietly settle with Giuffre in 2022.

  • Has openly written and spoken about lowering the age of consent, including in op-eds and academic forums.

  • Continues to appear on major networks as a legal analyst, despite his proximity to one of the most prolific trafficking operations in modern history.

He remains uncharged, unrepentant, and utterly repugnant, a walking symptom of institutional decay.

DISHONOURABLE MENTIONS:

  • Prince Andrew - his case has just been dropped by the FBI, under Trump’s watch...

  • Ehud Barak - covered in Part 2

  • Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modelling agent who was Epstein's friend and in whose modelling firm Epstein invested $1 million. He has been accused of rape by numerous models. Virginia Roberts claimed to have been forced to have sex with him as well, and that Brunel was a key figure in Epstein's trafficking network.

  • Steven Hoffenberg, CEO, Chairman, President of Towers Financial Corporation, who hired Epstein in 1987 as a consultant for $25k a month; they travelled the world together on Hoffenberg's private jet. Hoffenberg pled guilty to running one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in US history and filed a lawsuit in 2018 calling Jeffrey Epstein an uncharged co-conspirator who "knowingly and intentionally utilised funds he fraudulently diverted and obtained from this massive Ponzi scheme for his personal use to support a lavish lifestyle." Hoffenberg says that this was what propelled Epstein to obscene wealth.

  • Charlie Rose, a famous TV journalist and talk show host who corresponded with Epstein dozens of times in the 2000s. Epstein gave Rose the names and phone numbers of 5 women he thought the anchor should hire as assistants, one of whom was a former Harvey Weinstein assistant. Rose hired 3 of the women Epstein recommended, one of whom would eventually be one of 34 other women to accuse Rose of sexual harassment, saying: "I was being offered up for abuse”. Rose also attended a dinner headlined by Prince Andrew in Epstein's NYC mansion in 2011 after Epstein's jail release.

  • Lawrence Summers, former US Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University, to which Epstein donate at least $30 million during Summers's tenure, and Epstein was given an office at Harvard for his personal use. The two served on foreign relations advisory panels together, and Epstein's special connection with Summers was the subject of an article in 2003: Mogul Donor Gives Harvard More Than Money, which describes Epstein cultivating a relationship with various Harvard elites.

  • Glenn Dubin, a hedge-fund billionaire who has close ties to Epstein and who Virginia Roberts alleges was the first powerful man Ghislaine Maxwell directed her to have sex with in 2001. Glenn's wife Eva Andersson-Dubin, a model and former Miss Sweden, was Epstein's ex-girlfriend and a close friend of Ghislaine Maxwell. Former house manager for the Dubins, Rinaldo Rizzo, described a horrifying 2005 encounter when the Dubins brought a 15-year-old girl to work as a nanny, the girl was shaking and crying as she described to the house butler and his wife about her dealings with Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein's personal assistant, Sarah Kellen, in the US Virgin Islands. Maxwell pressured the girl to have sex and took her passport when she refused, threatening the girl not to speak about the incident. A month into her employment, the Dubins took the girl with them to Sweden, where she was dropped off at an airport. The couple remained close friends with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, with Eva writing in an email to Epstein’s probation officer in 2009: "I am 100% comfortable with Jeffrey Epstein around my children”.

  • Kevin Spacey, prominent American actors who flew with Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Chris Tucker on Epstein's private jet "Lolita Express" to Africa in 2002 (and, according to flight logs, the Azores). Kevin Spacey is accused by multiple people of sexual assault/harassment of minors.

  • Joi Ito, former director of MIT Media Lab who invited Epstein to the lab after meeting him in 2013 (after Epstein's 2008 conviction as a sex offender) and that the lab accepted money through foundations controlled by Epstein. Ito himself visited Epstein's residences, including Epstein's home in the Caribbean, twice, according to NYT. Most likely met Epstein via his literary agent, John Brockman.

  • George Mitchell, former US Senator and Senate Majority Leader, with whom Virginia Roberts claims to have been forced to have sex. Mitchell said back in 2002: “I would certainly call [Epstein] a friend and a supporter.” Epstein's black book lists a dozen numbers for him under the heading “Piper, Rudnick,” the name of the Washington law firm where Mitchell was a partner.

  • Bill Richardson, former US governor, Congressman, Secretary, and Ambassador to the UN, with whom Virginia Roberts alleges she was forced to have sex. Richardson visited Epstein’s 7,000-acre Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, and Epstein donated $50k to Richardson’s 2002 and 2006 gubernatorial campaigns, and Bill Richardson's name appears in Epstein's black book.

  • Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO of Microsoft and co-founder of Intellectual Ventures, has been close with Epstein for years. Sources mention Epstein visited Myhrvold’s investment firm Intellectual Ventures, and brought along “young girls” who looked like “Russian models", and that Myhrvold spoke openly about borrowing Epstein’s private jet and staying at Epstein’s houses in Palm Beach and Manhattan. Myhrvold has also been accused of having underage sex by Alan Dershowitz, of all people.

  • Marvin Minsky, a prominent MIT scientist with whom Virginia Roberts alleges she was forced to have sex, and who received a $100k research grant from Epstein in 2002, the first from Epstein to MIT. He most likely met Epstein via his literary agent, John Brockman.

  • There are many confirmed names on the flight logs, fake lists are flying around online, but hereis an accurate one with some of the names:

🎬 CONCLUSION: THE NETWORK

This was a network.

A blackmail operation entangled with intelligence agencies, mainly the Mossad.
A pipeline for power, access, and leverage.
A global syndicate of billionaires, politicians, and operatives using trafficking as currency.

Nearly every institution, from the DOJ to the media to Silicon Valley, played a role in shielding and facilitating it.

Presidents.
Prime ministers.
Tech oligarchs.
Elite academia.
Major banks.
No client list.

After three articles, the truth is undeniable:
Epstein was the frontman for something much darker.

END OF THE SERIES

This concludes our three-part series on the Epstein cover-up:

  1. Part One: The Cover-Up — DOJ interference, FBI manipulation, and the metadata games.

  2. Part Two: The Origins — Mossad, Wexner, Donald Barr, and the intelligence ties behind Epstein’s rise.

  3. Part Three: The Web — The elite connections still profiting, still protected, and still silent.

When I have time, I will be sending out a deep dive on two more things:

  1. Is Epstein still dead

  2. The non-trafficking impacts of his network (which are huge).

  3. The connections to 9/11
