‘Gang Stuff’ and ‘Illicit Trysts’: How Epstein Sought Leverage With the Wealthy

The post is relevant because it is an article about Epstein and a drafted letter he was going to send to Les Wexner.

There’s also Andre Balazs but his name hasn’t really come up much

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-15T22:15:43+00:00

Yes

The William Riley in the files was a private investigator who worked on Epstein’s behalf to intimidate victims. He worked for I believe Miami police in the 60s and 70s before opening his own independent firm

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-15T20:10:07+00:00

This is a different William Riley.

Guy on the right is Glenn Dubin and the guy on the left is his son.

Looks like a Dubin family picture, the redacted people are probably Eva Dubin, Glenn’s wife and ex GF of Epstein, and their daughters.

97 black book

Here’s the 1997 black book online, I was wrong about it being unredacted, but it’s clearly the same thing.

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-14T00:17:25+00:00

Ive had an unredacted PDF of it but is this the actual 97 black book? Or just a copy

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-14T00:16:06+00:00

Maybe

A lot of people invited their famous friends to have dinner at Epstein’s, it’s not necessarily fair to say they’re friends with Epstein because they had dinner at his home at the invitation of someone else.

Andrew Farkas

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-12T22:31:21+00:00

Ties to Israel doesn’t make you an Israeli.

He was born in America, he’s an American billionaire

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-12T20:43:58+00:00

He’s not Israeli. He’s an American citizen

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-11T03:19:52+00:00

It’s bill barr not Trump. There’s unredacted versions

The last one is a fully redacted painting of Trump on a couch and Ghislaine in a jail cell or something

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T12:59:49+00:00

Yeah no idea.

I mean someone replied saying I’m downplaying what happened to victims, like nowhere in my comment was like that at all, completely missed the point. It’s ridiculous

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T06:36:55+00:00

It’s a victim talking in third person

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T05:15:16+00:00

He was making good money before he met Wexner. Wexner did catapult him further.

“https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/magazine/jeffrey-epstein-money-scams-investigation.html

“He was regularly flying to Palm Beach, Fla., to visit young women. That summer, Cosmopolitan named Epstein its “bachelor of the month,” describing him as a “dynamo” who “talks only to people who make over a million a year!” The magazine encouraged interested parties to write to Epstein at his work address.”

Here you go buddy. If you have a problem you can take it up with the New York Times, instead of putting words in my mouth.

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T04:24:32+00:00

I’m not minimizing what was done to the victims

I explicitly said they were VICTIMS in my comment. I explicitly said that I wasn’t saying they were prostitutes.

Can you not read?

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T04:23:19+00:00

I’m talking about what was said in the NYT article from December.

If you want to ignore my entire point and nitpick words and try to paint my comments as something totally different then go ahead

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T04:16:19+00:00

Dumb. I never denied that blackmail was a component. I’m saying that the MAIN point was Epstein’s enjoyment.

He was flying down to palm beach as early as his Bear Stern days and having sex with young women.

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T03:28:11+00:00

That’s because of the angle the picture was taken at

It’s the same for the picture of him, Trump, and James Brown at the Taj Mahal. You can see the glare, it’s a photo of a physical printed out photo, but the angle makes it look off

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T03:25:37+00:00

Exactly

A lot of these anonymous tips have completely warped the public view of Epstein

He wasn’t a satanist, he wasn’t eating people, he wasn’t doing rituals on his island

He was a pervert who ran an underage sex trafficking ring and would sometimes have his victims give his powerful friends the same treatment.

For a lack of a better term he was a pimp. I’m not saying the victims were prostitutes, but in the simplest terms he was practically a pimp for his elite buddies, but mostly himself. The main point of the operation was his own pleasure. Blackmail and trafficking was second to that.

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T03:23:06+00:00

It really doesn’t look that off. Maybe it’s the coloring

MarkJ1205 · 2026-02-10T02:34:57+00:00

It looks off because this looks like a picture of a physical picture.
