Nearly 200 names linked to Jeffrey Epstein expected to be made public

List could be released as soon as Tuesday after deadline for objections to unsealing of names passes midnight Monday

Nearly 200 names connected to the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy could be released by a New York judge as soon as Tuesday, exposing or confirming the identities of dozens of associates of the disgraced financier that until now have only been known as John and Jane Does in court papers.

A deadline for objections to the unsealing of the names passes at midnight on Monday, nearly nine years after victim Virginia Giuffre filed a single defamation claim against Maxwell, daughter of the late British press baron Robert Maxwell, in 2015, that in turn produced the names in legal depositions.

A year later, in 2016, US district court judge Robert Sweet rejected Maxwell’s motion to dismiss the case, finding that “the veracity of a contextual world of facts more broad than the allegedly defamatory statements” and that Guiffre “was a victim of sustained underage sexual abuse between 1999 and 2002”. The parties settled out of court in 2017.

RoosterBoy,

The fact that any names are redacted at all is proof that the only real solution is the guillotine.

Something_Complex,

Let’s rob the guillotine in the Museum of the Prefecture of Paris, and place it back on the street.

I personally recommend Epstine’s old street as a warning or a promise.

Asafum,

I’m getting big “the reddit safe” vibes with this one. Going to be waiting a long ass time to see absolutely nothing.

rckclmbr,

The what safe? No idea what you’re talking about

Some redditor found an old safe (in his basement?) and everyone was excited to see what was inside but it turned out to be basically nothing

Filthmontane,

I’m really concerned as to what names have been redacted from that list.

Something_Complex,

Wich president’s and national security advisers, wich business magnates and wich organised crime affiliate fucks.

Oh I hope those 200 people are very uncomfortable

Reddfugee42,

Seeing as some of them are the victims, probably.

reverendsteveii,

the names will come out, people will make a big deal for a couple days, the authorities in charge will go “now now, you’ve got to understand”, then people will move on to the next thing and the people in charge will go back to very publicly fucking children.

nucleative,

I think you’re right. We’re going to see some expected names, some unexpected names, and some randoms.

The unexpected names are already working on how they’ll publicly say they weren’t involved like that and without any further evidence it’ll all just fade.

We’ll say yeah, we kinda expected that guy to be an Epstein island tourist. But hey, there are still-sitting politicians who we know this kind of thing about and their positions are unaffected.

werefreeatlast,

This is going to be interesting for the news cycle! Trump obviously, but who else? So Bill Clinon, Bill Gates, who else!

More importantly, where did they touch and how long did they touch for?

h3rm17,

Miley Cyrus, the entire democrat party ever, most holliwood

werefreeatlast,

Probably most ceos.

h3rm17,

Yeah, a couple of the were in it as well

4lan,

I didn’t know Russian troll farms have made it to Lemmy…

h3rm17,

Pero que ruso ni que pollas, panoli, a ver si aprendemos que al resto del mundo vuestros democratas y vuestros republicanos nos parecen igual de mierdas.

psmgx,

Been here since day 1 mon ami.

Extra effective here, too, since there is less established rules, established mods, and corporate structure to fight.

Goblin_Mode,

Come on man, if you’re gonna gaslight at least spell “Hollywood” right. “the entire democratic party ever”? You can do better than that. I know English isn’t your first language but you could at least plug it into grammarly or something.

smh this troll can’t even troll correctly. I guess enshitification applies to bait accounts too

h3rm17,

Not trolling though, the list was published, and Biden, Al Gore, Obama etc were on the island. Most hollywood as well. Trump was no surprise, we all knew he was friends with the guy. But the virtue signaling democrats are a fun sight there

And yeah, English ain’t my first language, at least I know more than 1 :) Not gonna use grammarly when typing fast from the phone, sorry.

Typing fast on the mobile, no

DagonPie,

Twat^

Goblin_Mode,

at least I know more than 1 :)

Moi aussi.

I was not aware that Biden, Al Gore, and Obama were “the entire democratic party ever”? Strange how that list of under 200 names somehow includes all 250+ federal democratic congressman and presidents AND most of Hollywood?? Wow my apologies, I clearly hadn’t realized that over half of the 10s of thousands of people who work in the movie industry were also on that list of under 200!

Good catch on that one!

Perhaps you should try actually engaging in discussion instead of just mouthing off complete nonsense and hoping no one calls your bluff?

frezik,

Miley was a minor herself while most of Epstein’s “business” was going on. Jesus Christ, find a better target besides right wing hate person of the week.

h3rm17,

No idea about it (meaning how old she was when she visited) but she was on the list as visitor to the island

Something something Panama Papers… 🤬🖕🏼

They led to over 150 cases of severe consequences in Germany. Beginning with very high tax “recalculations”, company closures, heads rolling (firings in some of the affected companies or the end of some political careers, like Bert Meestadt or Nawaz Sharif’s dismissal from office) to actual imprisonments. 71 Million Euros of “additional” Taxes have already been payed, Mossack is wanted by Europol, and many many more.

Many cases are still open - justice takes time.

To say nothing happend due to the Panama Papers is just blatantly misleading and utterly untrue.

pete_the_cat,

That’s cool, but it has zero impact on everyone that isn’t in Germany.

littlebluespark,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

in Germany

… How myopic.

To say nothing happened

And hyperbolic. Cute.

  1. That’s a couple quiet drips into the pissbucket, and
  2. No one even implied that “nothing” was done, FFS.

The entirety of the Panama Papers’ consequences worldwide is so abysmally, shamefully miniscule by comparison to the crimes inherent that your “um akshually” comes off as pedantic AF.

reverendsteveii,

this is the sanitized list. all the child rapists who matter will continue to rape children with impunity.

Perfect time for the media to release a bombshell news about aliens to divert attention

xc2215x,

Glad the names are being released.

Nix,

That took a while… enough to have double/triple/quadruple checked and “removed” most high profile names with any modicum of power and/or financial backing 🤔

Well I reserve my judgment until the names are published. We already know some of the entourage from previous journalists and reports.

If most names published are of unknown, foreign or already passed away individuals it would be quite suspicious indeed.

Pratai,

Amazingly, they all changed their names to [REDACTED].

There might be breadcrumbs in the redactions. Like

  • Squee
  • [REDACTED]
  • Donkeydong Doug
Sanity_in_Moderation,

Not Donkey Doug! He’s my boy! I don’t think of him as my boy, I think of him as my boy! Yeah, but it’s more like… “That’s my son right there, son.” But not, like, “son-son”, but, like, “my boy”. But not, like…

salami0,

That guy is always up to things

PlasmaDistortion,

That Redacted guy sure is a bad dude!

afraid_of_zombies,

Yes well to be fair he never recovered from his service in every war since WW2 across multiple theaters plus special ops stuff. I would like to see you be perfectly ethical after 9 million man-hours of combat stretched over 7 decades.

Frigid,

What’s the point of redaction if everyone can so easily figure out it’s Steve Rogers?

andrew_bidlaw,

Why now?

paraphrand,

To distract from alien disclosure. /s

Kase,

Aliens? Are you telling me you think space is real??

Kbobabob,

They are from 2015 and…

U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled earlier this month there was no legal justification for continuing to conceal the ex-president’s name and more than 150 names other “John and Jane Does” mentioned in the records.

pete_the_cat,

It’s ridiculous how long “justice” takes.
