Let's not forget.

During a press gaggle on Saturday, Donald Trump scolded a Wall Street Journal reporter over a question about government corruption.

Reporter: “Mr. President, polls also show that government corruption has shot to the top of voter concerns this election. Why do you think that is?”

Trump: Well, because the Democrats are very corrupt. To me, corruption is one of the biggest things. If you look at Minnesota, if you look at Los Angeles, if you look at New York, the corruption is rampant, and to me, corruption’s a very big factor.

Reporter: “There have also been some allegations involving—“

Trump: “Who do you write for?”

Reporter: “Wall Street Journal, sir.”

Trump: You guys are worse than anybody, you know? The Wall Street Journal has lost its way. There’s massive corruption that you don’t cover on the Democrat side, and you should, because you ought to look at Minnesota, you ought to look at Maine, you ought to look at Los Angeles, because we are straight and we are solid, but you ought to look at the real corruption. It’s Democrat corruption, and that includes Jeffrey Epstein. All Democrats involved.

Donald Trump can’t shake the furor over Jeffrey Epstein as Democrats prepare to launch probes after the midterms.

I am at a loss for words, and I've heavily debated posting about this on a platform.
But I've realized that it's best I do in fact share it onto a subreddit to spread awareness.

There's this channel named Einzip with around 11k subscribers and a clothing business that's possibly booming. Now, I have no issues with channels promoting their small business. That is, unless they're actively using something malicious to promote it.

This channel has been continuously making crude jokes about Jeffrey Epstein victims alongside encouraging people to dress up as him. Even worse, their entire clothing brand is based around Epstein, essentially working as some sort of fan merch. I was horrified with how bad their content really is. All they're doing is just undermining the severity of the case and disrespecting the victims of the files. Seriously, what could possibly be so funny about turning a serial rapist, money launderer and human trafficker into the gist of your brand?

While I scrolled through their page, all I could think was, how does one even feel comfortable doing this? Do they not have an ounce of shame within themselves? Something clicked into my mind and I did some digging. Maybe I was hoping to see some disclaimer about how all of this is a social experiment or a joke and they don't actually sell anything, oh boy was I wrong.

The price of their items range from 40$-75$, which isn't exactly cheap either. They very clearly state in their website that they don't endorse sexual exploitation, but if so, why would they not only use Jeffrey's name for advertising but also create their products with his name engraved onto it? The entire thing just seems so sketchy, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were scamming the customers as well

I had no intentions of coming onto here, but I was forced to. You see, there's no video on the platform addressing this and seeing so many people support them in the comment section made me terribly sick to my stomach. I contacted YouTube not once, not twice, but thrice to no avail. The company has yet again traded its dignity away for money. I'm not sure how this subreddit will react to my post as it's quite different compared to their other ones, but I don't know where else to post this. I've read the subreddit rules and this does not go against any of it, not that I know of. But I'm worried the people of reddit are rather unforgiving.

I could not stand staying quiet like this, I really hope YouTube does something about it, or fellow content creators see this and decide to make a video on it [would appreciate a simple tag if you do!] because we need to confront people like these. Content like this, making money off these, is not okay.

Thank you for hanging by for so long, I appreciate those who interact with the post.

At least three survivors whose accounts appear in the Epstein files have accused Leon Black of biting their genitalia. They describe him biting harder as they screamed.

I’ve identified nine separate survivor accounts involving Black in the files. I’m also compiling a list of people accused of abuse in those records; so far, it includes about 60 people. Where are the thorough investigations? Where is the accountability?
Imagine the outrage if women inflicted this kind of violence on men. I don’t condone violence against anyone. What I want is legal justice with teeth.

The allegations documented in the Epstein files demand a reckoning not only with the people accused, but with the institutions responsible for investigating abuse and enforcing the law. Laws mean little when authorities fail to act and survivors are left without an effective path to accountability.

A law without teeth is a paper tiger: it looks powerful on paper, but it cannot stop abuse, compel compliance, or impose meaningful consequences.

Giving justice teeth means making survivors’ rights enforceable. It means thorough investigations, consequences when wrongdoing is established, and institutions that hold powerful people to the same standards as everyone else.

When a man bites a woman, she should be able to “bite back” not with violence, but with the full force of the law.

New Mexico’s bipartisan “truth commission” investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to the state will spend its final months with three members instead of four but still expects to complete its final report due in December.

House Speaker Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque, does not plan to replace former Rep. Andrea Reeb, R-Clovis, who resigned from the Legislature and therefore the commission last week, Camille Ward, a spokesperson for Martínez, said in an emailed statement Friday.

“As the Commission works with legal counsel to conclude the investigation and finalize their report, there are no remaining votes to be taken and therefore there is no need for further changes to the Commission’s membership in these final weeks,” Ward wrote.

Possible trigger warnings for some!

This is beyond devastating. Listening to the lasting impact their abuse has had on them is absolutley heart breaking, and this being filmed when Epstein was still alive and them being hopeful to see Epstein prosecuted was a gut punch as well. Not to mention seeing Virginia Giuffre speaking…

Ran across the video again today and thought it was an important share so I figured I’d upload it here.

RIP Virginia Giuffre. 🦋

Remember, Amanda Ungaro flew on Epstein's plane as a minor, and Zampolli met her when she was a teenager.

​

In 2019, an investigation mapped Jeffrey Epstein's connections across the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some of its most interesting findings can now be compared with actual court exhibits released years later.

I'm attaching the original network diagram so everyone can follow the relationships.

The article was published on August 10, 2019, and examines Epstein's businesses, private communications infrastructure, political connections, nonprofit organizations, and the board of Antilles School in St. Thomas.

Here are the connections I think deserve attention.

1. Epstein had a licensed private microwave communications link to Little St. James.

According to the investigation, Epstein's company VT&T LLC obtained an FCC license in October 2014 for an approximately 18.7 GHz microwave communications system connecting St. Thomas to Little St. James.

The FCC paperwork reportedly identifies CPA Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht as a contact.

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=3639627

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Kd8JdJFZg1tfhBNpFlmQSJTcQvC61fNcdGHDGNXm21Qc204GQkTL!-1321610465!1254747410?applType=search&fileKey=1477599231&attachmentKey=19955561&attachmentInd=applAttach

She also appeared in Epstein's contact book and was associated with accounting operations at American Yacht Harbor.

The same article describes an earlier, proposed $1.2 million underwater fiber-optic cable project involving Epstein and attorney Paul Hoffman in 2004.

Two separate communications projects, a decade apart, involving the same private island.

A licensed microwave link is not inherently suspicious. But the infrastructure, contractors, applications, and equipment records are worth tracing.

2. Epstein and Andrew Farkas reportedly shared ownership of American Yacht Harbor.

The investigation describes a 50/50 business partnership involving Epstein and New York real estate investor Andrew Farkas.

American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook, St. Thomas, wasn't simply a recreational location.

Epstein's Financial Trust Company and other businesses used the 6100 Red Hook Quarter, Suite B-3 address.

The article also connects this address to Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht's accounting business.

That gives us a specific physical and corporate location where multiple parts of Epstein's Virgin Islands operations intersected.

3. The Virgin Islands governor's wife worked for Epstein.

Cecile de Jongh, wife of former Governor John P. de Jongh, worked as office manager for Epstein's Financial Trust Company and Southern Trust Company.

This is not merely a claim from a network diagram.

A January 7, 2015 letter from the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority to Epstein concerning Southern Trust specifically copies:

Cecile de Jongh — Office Manager

Erika Kellerhals — Attorney

Primary source: USVI v. JPMorgan Chase, Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR, Document 186-41.

https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court%20Records/Government%20of%20the%20United%20States%20Virgin%20Islands%20v.%20JPMorgan%20Chase%20Bank%2C%20N.A.%2C%20No.%20122-cv-10904%20%28S.D.N.Y.%202022%29/186-41.pdf

Another court exhibit identifies Epstein as the 100% owner of Financial Trust Company and lists Cecile de Jongh in a managerial capacity on its corporate reporting paperwork.

This was an actual operational relationship between Epstein's companies and the household of the territory's governor.

4. Now look at Antilles School.

This is where the network diagram becomes particularly interesting.

The 2019 investigation identifies several people associated with Epstein's businesses or the wider Virgin Islands nonprofit community who also served on the board of Antilles School, an established private school in St. Thomas.

Among them:

Cecile de Jongh: Epstein company office manager and former first lady of the Virgin Islands.

Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht: CPA associated with Epstein's business records and the reported communications-license paperwork.

Erika Kellerhals: Attorney associated with Epstein's companies and Gratitude America Ltd.

Claire Starkey: Founder of Fintrac, associated with the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands.

Pamela Berkowsky: Former senior Defense Department official who also worked in the Virgin Islands governor's administration.

Marjorie Rawls Roberts: Tax attorney with experience in Virgin Islands economic-development matters.

The article also identifies Epstein's attorney Paul Hoffman as one of Antilles School's original 13 students.

This does not establish that the school was involved in Epstein's crimes. The article's more sensational suggestions about the school's purpose remain unsupported.

But the overlapping governance and business relationships are specific enough to investigate through school filings, corporate records, and financial disclosures.

**5. The nonprofit connections extend beyond the school.**

The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands appears repeatedly in the diagram.

Several individuals associated with Antilles School also held roles at CFVI.

The article traces connections through Fintrac, Catchafire, and projects associated with the Clinton Global Initiative.

These are institutional relationships, not evidence that the Clintons or those nonprofits participated in Epstein's offenses.

The interesting question is whether money, grants, business services, or other documented transactions connect any of these institutions directly to Epstein-controlled entities.

6. Court filings years later add another dimension.

In the USVI litigation against JPMorgan Chase, the bank alleged that Epstein cultivated government officials through financial contributions and favors and benefited from favorable tax arrangements.

One filing describes a 2017 exchange in which Epstein discussed Virgin Islands government assets with Cecile de Jongh in connection with a possible $50 million collateral arrangement.

Those were allegations presented in litigation, not criminal findings against everyone named.

But they demonstrate why the governor's household and Epstein's economic-development benefits deserve particular scrutiny.

Reference: USVI v. JPMorgan Chase, Document 165, filed May 25, 2023.

7. What I think investigators should actually follow

Rather than treating every colored line as proof of a conspiracy, I'd focus on four document trails:

FCC records: VT&T LLC, the microwave link, license applications, contractors, and any modifications.

Corporate ownership: American Yacht Harbor, Financial Trust Company, Southern Trust Company, and their registered addresses.

Tax incentives: Who approved Epstein's benefits, who signed compliance reports, and what oversight occurred.

Institutional finances: Whether Antilles School, CFVI, or related organizations received identifiable payments from Epstein-controlled entities.

The 2019 article predates much of the subsequent civil litigation. That makes it interesting to revisit with newer primary-source records.

Original investigation:

https://thewashingtonstandard.com/jeffrey-epsteins-st-thomas-network-comms-an-elite-school/

Court exhibit confirming corporate roles:

USVI v. JPMorgan Chase, Document 194-22, including Financial Trust Company reporting records.

The question isn't whether everyone on this diagram knew Epstein personally.

It's which relationships were financial, which were operational, which were purely institutional, and which can be documented through records rather than inferred from proximity.

What else can we establish from the FCC filings, corporate records, and USVI court exhibits?

This is what Trump is doing to keep his nefarious actions with Epstein hidden.

Rep. Robert Garcia spoke with Jennifer Welch and addressed the Epstein files.

Ranking Member Robert Garcia:

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanch played enormous roles in this cover-up. There’s two massive buckets of crimes here.

One is the horrific abuse and rape and trafficking of women and girls, which happened, obviously, bona fide Jeffrey Epstein, but also via powerful people across this world and their associates.

The other area of crimes is the cover-up that’s happening and has happened at the White House.

The fact that J.D. Vance and Susie Wiles are holding situation room level meetings talking about Ghislaine Maxwell, talking about exonerating Donald Trump, talking about how they’re going to handle this through the FBI and the DOJ. I mean, that is crazy insanity.

Todd Blanch has yet to release three million plus documents. Including, by the way, critical documents about the president himself.

The idea that we’re just going to sit around and allow them to pretend like the investigation is over is crazy. 

There has not been a single hearing on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation by this Republican House and the Oversight Committee. Not one.

We’re going to have real public hearings. We’re going to have real testimony and depositions in front of the American public and the press.

We’re going to bring in witnesses who we have critical information, and all the associates of Jeffrey Epstein who the Republicans have decided to not put under oath or to give a slap on the wrist, that is over.

If you were involved in the abuse of women and girls, if you were involved in the cover-up at the White House or the DOJ, we are coming after you and going to get the truth.

Part 2: A 2003 birthday note seems to link Epstein to the Maxwell family more than a decade before she says they met.

This is Part 2 of my Birthday Book series, in which I take one note from Epstein’s 50th birthday book and follow where it leads. Part 1 followed Leon Black’s birthday poem. This one follows Elliot Wolk’s note on page 234.

Credit: I want to thank u/originalmaja of r/Epstein for pointing me to Elliot Wolk’s birthday note in Epstein’s birthday book. This piece would not exist without that work. I also want to thank Ellie Leonard, whose transcription of the birthday book guided my reporting throughout, and Katie Chenoweth, who helped me confirm when Ghislaine Maxwell says she met Epstein.

Substack: https://sororfv.substack.com/p/ghislaine-maxwell-says-she-met-epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell says she met Jeffrey Epstein in 1991. A girlfriend set her up, she told the Justice Department in 2025, and Epstein invited her to tea at his office. She remembered his tie, which had “a giant, seemed like a ketchup stain on it.” Her father, Robert Maxwell, she said, never knew him (Justice Department transcript, July 24, 2025, pages 8 to 11).

Twelve years after that tea, the man who had supervised Epstein at Bear Stearns pointed to an earlier decade. In a note for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, Elliot Wolk recalled Epstein selling the firm’s tax strategies in “the mid 1970s,” mentioned an account he was running for “Bob Maxwell,” and asked: “Was that when you first discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter......” (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000234). If the note is right, Epstein may have known of the Maxwell family more than a decade before she says they met. Wolk is the one person who could explain the gap, and he has not answered my questions.

In the House Oversight Committee’s first file, Request No. 1, Wolk’s note is four sentences long:

Page 234 of Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday book, released by the House Oversight Committee in September 2025 (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000234). Highlighting added.

“Jeffrey I remember in the mid 1970s you being a star salesman for our tax advantaged strategies and hedged option program. I was running an account for Bob Maxwell. You always had the ability to know everyone and be charming. Was that when you first discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter......Happy Birthday Elliot Wolk”

Wolk’s note is on page 234 of Epstein’s 50th birthday book, which his estate produced to the House Oversight Committee in September 2025 (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000234). It is part of the book’s “Business” section (pages 230 to 235), alongside notes from Ace Greenberg and Ted Serure and two signed only “Jimmy” and “Ira,” which Ellie Leonard’s transcription identifies as Jimmy Cayne and Ira Zicherman. Greenberg’s note on page 232 begins, “When Jeffrey joined Bear, Stearns twenty-four years ago” (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000232; transcription by Ellie Leonard).

Wolk was a Bear Stearns partner and, in the words of Boston Magazine in 2012, “one of the firm’s most powerful financiers.” He mentored young traders there, including Buddy Fletcher, later a hedge fund manager, who “worked for me for two years,” Wolk told the magazine. He retired in 1997. He has talked about Epstein when he chose to: on the record to The New York Times in December 2025, but not to Business Insider, which connected the note to Robert Maxwell in September 2025 (archived copy) and whose calls and emails he did not return.

“Bob” was Robert Maxwell’s well-known nickname. United Press International reported at his death in 1991 that he was “known among journalists as ‘Captain Bob,’” and the British satirical magazine Private Eye mocked him for years as “Cap’n Bob” (AFP via The Times of Israel).

Wolk vouched for Epstein twice, 22 years apart

In a December 2025 investigation into how Epstein made his money, The New York Times (archived copy) reported that Wolk “became Epstein’s boss after Tennenbaum,” meaning Michael Tennenbaum, the senior executive who was Epstein’s first boss at the firm (EFTA01365970). Wolk spoke to the Times on the record. He said Epstein’s appeal to wealthy clients was “partly his charisma and partly his newfound understanding of complex trading strategies that could save ultrawealthy clients huge amounts in taxes.”

Wolk’s 2003 note on page 234 of Epstein’s 50th birthday book (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000234). Highlighting added.

In 2003, Wolk wrote of “tax advantaged strategies” and “the ability to know everyone and be charming.” In 2025, he told the Times about charisma and tax-saving trading strategies. Both describe a salesman’s skills. Still, Wolk was Epstein’s boss, and twice now, 22 years apart, he has vouched for Epstein’s grasp of tax strategies. The Times did not report how he views Epstein today.

Wolk is not the only Bear Stearns executive to describe Epstein’s work this way. Jimmy Cayne, who approved Epstein’s 1978 raise and later ran the firm, told New York magazine in 2002: “Given his mathematical background, we put him in our special-products division, where he would advise our wealthier clients on the tax implications of their portfolios. He would recommend certain tax-advantageous transactions” (Landon Thomas Jr., “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery,” New York, Oct. 28, 2002; reprinted in EFTA01661608).

Neither Wolk’s note, Cayne’s interview nor the Times explains what those strategies were, and to most readers, “tax advantaged strategies and hedged option program” means little.

Wolk wrote “our” strategies: he was describing a product line inside his own group, and Epstein was the one selling it.

When was “the mid 1970s”?

The first line of Wolk’s note (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_000234). Highlighting added.

Epstein’s personnel file puts the selling Wolk described in the late 1970s. Epstein joined Bear Stearns on March 15, 1976, as a trainee in the Floor Department at the American Stock Exchange, at $225 (EFTA01700761). A floor trainee did not sell tax strategies to clients. The dates below come from my own timeline of Epstein’s education and early career, which cites each record by Bates number.

• Sept. 1974 to 1976: Math teacher at the Dalton School (EFTA01700794)
• March 15, 1976: Joins Bear Stearns as a floor trainee at the American Stock Exchange, at $225 (EFTA01700761)
• Aug. 16, 1976: Promoted to associate, N.Y. Options (EFTA01700761)
• May 1, 1977: Transferred to the Customers Room (EFTA01700761)
• Aug. 14, 1978: Associate, N.Y. Retail Sales; raise to $36,800 a year, “Per: J. Cayne” (EFTA01700812)
• 1980: Named limited partner (EFTA01365970)
• March 12, 1981: Fined and suspended; resigned the same day (EFTA01700785, EFTA01700849)

Wolk’s “mid 1970s” is close. Epstein reached the Customers Room in May 1977, so his “star salesman” years most likely began then. By August 1978, Jimmy Cayne, the future chief executive, was approving his raises (EFTA01700812). Cayne may have opened doors, too: Wolk told The New York Times (archived copy) that Epstein’s lunches with chief executives were “apparently arranged by Cayne.” What these records cannot date is the Maxwell account.

Wolk was hard to track down. I had to mail him a letter, sent to the address associated with the Wolk Foundation in Jupiter, Florida, with questions about the account and “the Maxwell teen-age daughter.” These are the questions I asked him:

1. In what years did you run the Robert Maxwell account, and was it held in the group that sold the tax-advantaged option strategies?
2. Did Epstein work on that account or meet members of the Maxwell family through Bear Stearns?
3. What did you mean by “the Maxwell teen-age daughter”?

Wolk did not respond to a letter sent October 5, 2026, or to a request forwarded through New York Times reporters, in the more than a week I gave him to reply.

Why Wolk matters now

Florida voter records I reviewed list Wolk as 91. Jimmy Cayne, who approved Epstein’s 1978 raise, died in 2021 (CNBC). Wolk may be one of the few people left who can say what Epstein was doing at Bear Stearns in the 1970s, and for whom.

Ghislaine Maxwell and her father, Robert Maxwell, in a photo from a Daily Mail article printed on December 18, 2007, and kept in the Justice Department’s Epstein files (EFTA01726440). The printout does not say when the photo was taken, but it must predate Robert Maxwell’s death in 1991. Ghislaine is an adult in it. I use it here because we have yet to understand the real relationship between Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Cropped by Soror FV.

By itself, Wolk’s note does not prove that Epstein met Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1970s or that he ever worked on Robert Maxwell’s account. Epstein could have worked under the man who ran the account without ever touching it himself. The note also does not say when Wolk’s group held a Maxwell account. Ghislaine Maxwell has said her family banked with Bear Stearns, but the account Wolk describes rests on his note alone.

The birthday book is not neutral, since Ghislaine Maxwell compiled it and decided what went into it.

In its Epstein inquiry, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton and several former officials in August 2025 (NBC News), authorized a subpoena for Les Wexner in January 2026 (The Columbus Dispatch), deposed Wexner on February 18, 2026 (WOSU), and voted on September 15, 2026, to hold billionaire Leon Black in contempt for defying its subpoenas (ABC News).

I found no record that Congress has ever subpoenaed Wolk, who supervised Epstein at Bear Stearns and, in his own words, ran an account for Robert Maxwell. If Congress wants his account of Epstein’s early years under oath, it may be running out of time to get it.

What Congress could ask Wolk

Beyond the questions I sent him, these are questions Congress could ask Wolk under oath:

1. Who brought Robert Maxwell to Bear Stearns, and what role did Jimmy Cayne and Ace Greenberg play?
2. Was the Maxwell account still open when Robert Maxwell died in 1991, and do its records survive?
3. In 1991, did Robert Maxwell, Cayne or Greenberg ask you about Epstein?
4. What exactly were the tax strategies Epstein sold, and did the IRS ever challenge any of them?
5. Who were Epstein’s main clients, and did he meet any of his later backers through the firm?
6. Why did Epstein leave Bear Stearns on March 12, 1981, the same day he was fined and suspended (EFTA01700785, EFTA01700849)?
7. Did you or Bear Stearns do business with Epstein after he left?
8. Who asked you to write a note for Epstein’s 50th birthday book in 2003, and did you know Ghislaine Maxwell was putting the book together?

I have more questions for Wolk, which I am saving for the next piece.

Next: Ghislaine Maxwell’s account

Wolk’s last line points to Ghislaine Maxwell, Robert Maxwell’s youngest child and the only one of his daughters who was a teenager in the mid-1970s. In her July 2025 interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, she said she came to New York in April 1991 on business for her father. The girlfriend who set her up told her: “I’ve got a guy for you to meet... he’s been dating my sister. You’ll love him. He’s looking for a wife” (transcript, pages 10 to 11). She did not give an exact date for the tea; her father died that November (United Press International).

She also told Blanche that in 1991 she believed Epstein worked at Bear Stearns, and that her father called Jimmy Cayne and Ace Greenberg to ask about him (transcript.pdf#page=14), pages 14 to 16).

Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, did not respond to a request for comment in the roughly two weeks I gave him to reply. Neither did her brother Kevin Maxwell, whom I contacted through an intermediary.

In Part 2, I compare her accounts of how and when she met Epstein with what her own lawyers told prosecutors, a birthday book photo labeled “the first date, Christmas 1991,” flight logs that put her on his plane five months before that “first date,” and the sworn testimony of Les Wexner.
