Original investigations into the Epstein network. Every claim cites specific documents from our database of court filings, depositions, and government records.
Internal Deutsche Bank wealth management documents from the EFTA release show Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump appearing on the same Top 50 client revenue spreadsheet in 2014, with the bank authorizing business as usual for Epstein without compliance pre-approval after a Reputational Risk Committee review.
Court documents and financial records reveal that Jennifer Turner was a fabricated identity used by Ghislaine Maxwell for at least seven years, maintained across eight American Express sub-accounts, confirmed by FBI witness testimony, and investigated by federal prosecutors in the weeks surrounding Maxwell's arrest.
2,385 financial flows, 686 entities, $6.8 billion tracked. The forensic reconstruction of Epstein's financial network reveals shell companies routing 'art transactions' through aircraft entities, a 32-year banking relationship with zero enforcement, and a charity where 95.5% of funds never reached charitable causes.
In November 2015, Eva Andersson-Dubin sent Jeffrey Epstein an email about placing a young woman. She had a question first: 'Does it matter that this girl that I am asking is a very good friend of Ghislaine's?' Epstein's response was three words: 'it shouldnt.' That exchange, buried in the EFTA release, captures the operational reality of Eva Dubin's role.
On June 28, 2008, Ruslana Korshunova fell from the ninth floor of a Manhattan building. She was 20 years old. Two years earlier, she had boarded Jeffrey Epstein's private jet bound for Little Saint James. The man who would handle her estate paperwork at the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg went on to become Epstein's most prolific procurer of young women.
Mainstream coverage of the Trump-Epstein connection fixates on a handful of familiar data points: the 2002 quote, the Mar-a-Lago ban, the Jane Doe lawsuit. But buried across 3,932 documents in the EFTA release are at least seven evidence threads that have received little to no press attention.
Brad Wechsler asked Apollo staff to keep Jeffrey Epstein copied on tax materials for all three co-founders' family offices — not just Leon Black's. The instruction, uncovered by the Senate Finance Committee, reveals Epstein's role at Apollo extended far beyond his $158 million relationship with Black.
David Mullen spent 14 months as Jeffrey Epstein's private chef, living in his properties and flying on his jets. When the FBI interviewed him in 2006, he described seeing 4-5 teenage girls arriving at Epstein's Palm Beach estate every day for 'massages.' His testimony is among the most detailed firsthand accounts of daily life inside Epstein's operation.
Among the 3.5 million pages released in the DOJ's EFTA document dump, one name surfaces more than almost any other — not a president, a prince, or a professor. David Mitchell, a mid-tier NYC real estate developer, is linked to 9,600 documents. This investigation follows the money.
Christmas Day 2017 emails show Epstein reassuring Mottola — "You are safe" — after the music mogul panicked over a victims' attorney, then fabricated a cover story for his wife. Nearly 800 documents trace years of gifts, visits, and architectural plans.
DOJ-released EFTA documents contain email exchanges between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2009 to 2012. The correspondence, now part of the public record, includes references to social engagements, property arrangements, and business introductions that have prompted a UK Metropolitan Police investigation.
EFTA emails reveal a May 2018 dinner at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse planned for Ehud Barak, Steve Bannon, with an invitation extended to Noam Chomsky — three figures from opposite ends of the political spectrum, all connected through a convicted sex trafficker.
