  • Epstein Victim Payouts Top £384m – JP Morgan Chase Finally Settle Over Enabling Evil Jeffrey Epstein

    Epstein Victim Payouts Top £384m – JP Morgan Chase Finally Settle Over Enabling Evil Jeffrey Epstein

    As the total payout in compensation to circa 150 known ‘victims’ of Jeffrey Epstein tops £384 million after JP Morgan Chase stummed up an astonishing £227 million settlement this week, isn’t it time that some of his clearly many associates (other than the grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell) were finally brought to justice?

    On Monday, JP Morgan Chase & Co. announced they’d pay £227 million ($290 million, €265 million or درهم1.1 billion) as a private settlement of a federal class action brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein against the firm.

     

    In May 2023, Deutsche Bank settled a £59 million ($75 million, €69 million or درهم275 million) lawsuit that alleged the lender should have done due diligence into evidence of sex trafficking during the period Epstein was a client. The firm did business with the Ponzi scheming paedophile from 2013 to 2018.

     

    In August 2021, the now closed Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program announced it had awarded £98 million ($125 million, €114 million or درهم459 million) to around 150 “eligible claimants” and now with this week’s settlement, the total paid out by these three entities now stands at an absolutely astounding £384 million ($491 million, €449 million or درهم1.8 billion).

     

    In article by Josh Russell for Courthouse News Service, published on Monday 12th June, a written statement from JP Morgan Chase & Co. is quoted. It reads:

     

    “We all now understand that Epstein’s behaviour was monstrous, and we believe this settlement is in the best interest of all parties, especially the survivors, who suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of this man.”

     

    Responding Brittany Henderson of victims’s lawyer Edwards Henderson Lehrman remarked:

     

    “A settlement of this size finally acknowledges the magnitude of the suffering of Epstein’s victims, the degree to which our system is broken, and the extent of Epstein’s influence to corrupt our system.”

     

    In further comment from the firm, Brad Edwards added:

     

    “We promised to bring full justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and this is a giant step toward fulfilling that promise. Holding a financial institution accountable for facilitating sex trafficking had never been done before now. Let’s hope it is the last time we ever need to do that.”

     

    Whilst the total paid out by the noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell to her victims is unknown because of her having settled privately with some of them, at sentencing in June 2022, she was quite deservedly fined £615,000 ($750,000, €715,000 or درهم2.8million) – the maximum possible.

     

    Elsewhere last Sunday, the DailyMail.com’s Daniel Bates shared an “exclusive” in which he revealed that the last ever person to speak to Epstein before he was ‘suicided’ was the very same person who was the only personal visitor he had during his 2019 incarceration.

     

    Belarus native Karyna Shuliak, “believed to be in her 30s” now, visited Ghislaine Maxwell’s one-time lover on 30th July 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York; she then spoke to him ten days later by telephone on 9th August 2019. Epstein was found ‘hanged’ in his cell on 10th August 2019 after prison guards ever so conveniently failed to perform adequate checks on him and slept through as he supposedly committed his final – and if he did it himself very cowardly – dastardly deed to thus evade’ justice.’

     

    Shuliak – who also very bizarrely married another female Epstein ‘associate’ named Jennifer Kalin as part of a “sham marriage” to “keep herself in the United States” in 2013 – arrived in the country first in 2009. She could, thus, shockingly have been as young as 16 at the time she first came to live with Epstein.

     

    Bates observed:

     

    “Epstein is said to have ‘bought’ one of his alleged co-conspirators, Nadia Marcinkova, from her parents in the former Yugoslavia, but there is no known indication that he did the same with Shuliak.”

     

    “After her marriage to Kalin in 2013, Shuliak stayed with Epstein for the next six years despite him admitting on his MCC health questionnaire that he had more than 10 sexual partners in the previous five years.”

     

    “Epstein is said to have paid for Shuliak’s mother’s expensive medical treatment, and may have helped fund the upscale home where her parents live in Minsk, the largely rundown capital of Belarus.”

     

    Now, as further twists and turns emerge in this sordid saga and with financial institutions paying down such huge sums hush money, isn’t it time also that the powerful individual associates that were the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his horrendous henchwoman Ghislaine Maxwell were finally also brought to justice?

    Payouts & Punishment – This morning in ‘The Steeple Times,’ Matthew Steeples asked: “As latest payouts to 150 known victims of Jeffrey Epstein take sum to £384m, is it enough that just grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail? Shouldn’t those they sex trafficked to be tried?” By 12 noon on Friday 16th June 2023, the very, very clear majority of respondents favoured the answer: “Yes; bring the lot to court.”
    Belarus native Karyna Shuliak Jeffrey Epstein girlfriend
    The expose on the involvement of Minsk, Belarus born Karyna Shuliak (also spelt ‘Karina Shaliak’) with Jeffrey Epstein between 2009 and 2019 most definitely deserves delving into further. The Ponzi scheming paedophile is said to have paid for Shuliak’s education at Columbia University and likely helped her become a registered dentist in Florida, California in the British Virgin Islands also; she was also on the ‘Lolita Express’ from Paris to Teterboro airport with Epstein when it returned there for his final arrest by the FBI prior to his death.
    Karyna Shuliak with sham wife Jennifer Kalin
    Karyna Shuliak’s “sham marriage” to “Epstein associate” Jennifer Kalin (pictured left) in 2013 also ought to be examined. How were these two able to get away this? Were powerful people connected to Jeffrey Epstein involved in enabling such?
    Debbie-Staley-Jes-Staley-1
    “I was her parents’ worst nightmare” – words once uttered by Jes Staley his very self. These words remain no doubt ringing in the ears of his swivel-eyed wife Debbie Nitzan Staley – as her husband continues to face the consequences of his 1,200 email trail with Jeffrey Epstein during his time involved with Jeffrey Epstein and his accounts at Barclays and JP Morgan Chase & CEO. Will he be a fall guy in this ongoing scandal?
    Donald-and-Melania-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Ghislaine-Maxwell
    What, if anything, did President Donald Trump know about what Epstein and Maxwell were upto? Was his now wife Melania Knauss trafficked by the deviant duo? These are questions that remain unanswered.
    Ghislaine-Maxwell-Jeffrey-Epstein-Bill-Clinton
    President Bill Clinton (pictured at the White House with the co-conspirator sex traffickers Epstein and Maxwell on 29th September 1993) faces further woes from the fallout also. Allegations that Clinton and Maxwell had sexual liaisons that became a full-blown affair have abounded, but remain unconfirmed by either party. Equally, Epstein and Clinton travelled together on multiple occasions and clearly shared a mutual liking for young girls also. The former POTUS was most certainly advised about the derelict and deviant actions of the nefarious former taxi driver turned financier, yet conveniently chose to ignore such and to instead accept the dirty devil’s dollar.
    Ghislaine-Maxwell-Jeffrey-Epstein-Jean-Luc-Brunel
    Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to jet around the world with two known paedophiles – Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel – and she was happy to take as much money as she could for her ‘services’ assisting them to sexually abuse and traffic young girls and boys allegedly also even. Will she now do the decent thing and name the names of others she associated with during this period who so viciously abused the sex trafficked unfortunates she so happily passed along? The chances seem low, but with this story, the truth can turn stranger than fiction.
    Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program
    The Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program closed its filing deadline on 25th March 2021 and has now concluded it claims process also.
    The Monsters
    As she attempts to appeal her sentence, will Ghislaine Maxwell turn on other ‘monsters’ connected to this case? Though none of them have been convicted of anything to date, could Jes Staley and Prince Andrew end up the firing line? What does this mucky madam convicted sex offender have to lose, after all? Well, she could get a slice off her 20 years likely in the clink…

    Names in the firing line most obvious from attention seeking Ghislaine Maxwell’s filthy ‘Little Black Book’ (if she decides to seek to minimise her sentence as she seeks an appeal)…

    Ghislaine Maxwell has until later this month to cooperate and thus “name names” if she wishes to see her sentence reduced.

     

    Those Scott Borgerson’s now ex-wife has been known to associate with – none of whom The Steeple Times is suggesting at this time as having been involved in any of her crimes, but whom she might seek revenge against for not offering her what she might consider enough public or even private support – include:

  • Pay Up Fergie – Dopey, Deranged & Delusional Sarah, Duchess of York Hit With £19m Lawsuit

    Pay Up Fergie – Dopey, Deranged & Delusional Sarah, Duchess of York Hit With £19m Lawsuit

    As dopey, deranged and delusional Sarah, Duchess of York is hit with a £19 million lawsuit and is told to pay up, we again ask: “Did she ever repay the loans and other benefits she took from the known-to-her-to-be-a-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?”

    Sarah, Duchess of York is not known for having intelligence; Sarah, Duchess of York, in fact, is well known for being beyond stupid, but now with news that she’s being dragged into a £19 million ($23 million, €22 million or درهم86 million) lawsuit alongside Lord Grade comes proof that this prattling pillock – who is about to launch a new podcast with the uninspired name Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah – is nothing but beyond the pale.

     

    Now, once again as the wastrel wench formerly known as Sarah Ferguson (AKA the ‘Duchess of Dork,’ the ‘Duchess of Deranged’ and ‘Feckless Fergie’ amongst other things) faces questions of “unexplained” loans of around £500,000 ($617,000, €576,000 or درهم2.3 million) being “made out to her businesses,” according to the Daily Mail’s Dominique Hines, it is once again time to ask this noxious nitwit a very important question.

     

    That question? “Did Sarah, Duchess of York ever repay the loans and other benefits she took from the known-to-her-to-be-a-paedophile at the time she took said loans and other benefits Jeffrey Epstein?”

     

    According to Hines, the delusional duchess and Lord Grade “are among the directors [of the media investment company Gate Ventures] set to face the wrath of liquidators determined to recoup the sum [owed].”

     

    Going further, Hines added: “[The Sunday Times reported yesterday] that the loan [to ‘Fergie’] has not been repaid and that her recent offer of repayment was so low that it was rejected.”

    Today on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Today, as it’s revealed that Sarah, Duchess of York has been hit with £19m lawsuit alongside Lord Grade, is it time that delusional duchess revealed whether she ever repaid loans and other benefits taken from known-to-her-to-be-a-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?” By 11:30am on Monday 29th May 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the answer: “Yes; but she won’t, filth.”

    The Weird Words of “Greedy” and “Needy” Freeloader Wannabe Sherlock Holmes Sarah, Duchess of York… They Get Weirder By The Week (And Soon We’ll Have A Book Of Them)…

    Given the live-in ex-wife at Royal Lodge, Windsor of supposedly skint ‘Randy Andy’ – a non-sweating nuisance who got his long-suffering relatives to pay a supposed sum of circa £12 million to Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a woman he has previously claimed to have met – is in on a world tour to prattle on to anyone who pays to listen, perhaps she should be reminded of her own weird and even weirder warblings. They number:

     

    Of sex, herself and goats: “One of the worst headlines said 82% [of the population] would rather sleep with a goat than Fergie. It’s never left me.”

     

    Of her writing novels and her style: “Sherlock Holmes meets Peaky Blinders.”

     

    Of the royal family: “They tried to put the little redhead in a cage.”

     

    Of her own family: “I do believe in family unity. I think forgiveness is key.”

     

    Of the Duke of York: “A good man… In 1986, I married a very good man. Zip.”

     

    Of whether she might remarry Prince Andrew: “Oh bless your heart, no. I think we’re great as we are.”

     

    Of supporting her disgraced ex-husband financially: “I will always be there [for Prince Andrew].”

     

    “When Andrew went through a hard time, I used to be able to throw it to ‘The Boss.’”

     

    “Since he stepped back [from royal duties] he doesn’t actually take taxpayers’ money and I’m in a position where I can support him and the rest of the family through my work. And I’m really pleased and proud to do that.”

     

    “All I will say is that for many years now – it started with Budgie the Little Helicopter – I’ve really pushed to look after my girls and to contribute to the York family life.”

     

    Of where she and the Duke of York will end up living in the future: “Honestly, I operate from living in the present. You never get complacent and it makes for a better day because you never get disappointed, then. You look at life and you go, we can adapt, we can be flexible.”

     

    Of whether she might remarry someone else: “I think I’ve got too much baggage. I look at today and if suddenly I find love again, well, that’s another bonus, isn’t it?”

     

    Of her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie: “Exceptional… I love my girlies, I’m so proud of them. They are exceptional children… If mum’s OK, they’re OK.”

     

    “My daughters come first in my life, they always have. Because I lost my mum so early, I’m subconsciously very present with them. When I brought them up, I always left my problems at the door. Your problem is not their problem – it’s not their fault. We laugh together a lot. We are just very close.”

     

    Of her grandchildren: “I’m ‘Super Gran’… When my grandchildren see me, they immediately laugh because they know I’m going to be up to something, up to no good somewhere.”

     

    “Every time I think about about co-parenting and co-grandparenting and about divorce, marriage and all these different things, I still come back to the principle that the sun will come up tomorrow, and be grateful, just get on with it.”

     

    Of the late Queen Elizabeth II: “For me, she was more a mother than my own mother. Aren’t I the luckiest person alive to have had that great honour? When I was with her, I used to say: ‘I can’t believe it. People wait and put on their best dress to have an audience with you, and I’m wandering around the garden in wellies!’”

     

    “For the whole nation, for the world. Steadfast, consistent, iconic. [She had an] extraordinary ability to put someone at ease. I still now think it was such an honour [to have known her].”

     

    “During the last three years, her poor son [was] going through such a tumultuous time… And I think HM was very relieved I could help her with him, so we became even closer, then.”

     

    “I’m so lucky. All my life, I was lucky enough to know ‘The Boss,’ HM. Like the nation and the world, she was always there. It was like having a hand at your back. It just made you always strive for being better and trying to be better, learning from her, whenever you were with her just taking everything she said as a memory. She was such an incredible legend for us all.”

     

    Of the late Queen’s corgis: “They’re very good boys, they’re very gentle. I think they knew that they weren’t to jump up and be naughty. They used to sit and watch the racing with her. And when you give them a biscuit, they don’t snatch. They’re very special, they’re national treasures.”

     

    “They really make me laugh and the follow me around. Sometimes I break a little ‘biccie’ – a digestive biscuit – in the same way the Queen broke it into little pieces, and give it to them and tell them to remember their boss.”

     

    Of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: “I have been judged all my life, and I have no judgment on the Sussexes.”

     

    “It must be hard for Meghan and can I relate to her. I believe she is modern and fabulous. She was famous before. She is great. Why can’t Meghan be great? Why can’t she be celebrated? I have been in Meghan’s shoes, and I still am. There’s always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring… I abhor bullying and I feel desperately sorry for the pain they must be going through.”

     

    “I believe very strongly that I have absolutely no judgment on any other person’s life, and I look at how much she [Meghan] loves him [Harry] and loves the children and gives him a love that he’s never had before. That’s how I look at it… The most important thing is, Diana would be so very proud of Archie and Lili. She would have adored every moment of it.”


    Of King Charles III: “It’s incredible what he’s done for the environment. He was a trailblazer and many years ago, everybody said: ‘What’s he talking about?’ But he’s right. I’m a great believer and supporter of him, as I am of the Queen Consort.”

     

    Of herself and her life: “I have been in the gutter.”

     

    “I’m a brilliant mother. The best mother.”

     

    “I don’t believe that any single person has the right to judge another person. I’m not in a position myself to make any judgments.”

     

    “I’m very steadfast and stoic… I won’t let anyone down. I’m very loyal.”

     

    Being rather wishy-washy: “The most important thing is that the sun will come up tomorrow and the day will move on.”

     

    Of food, family and dining: “As long as it is hot, wet and goes down the right way, it’s fine with me.”

     

    “With every smell, I smell food. With every sight, I see food. I can almost hear food. I want to spade the whole lot through my mouth at Mach 2. Basta!”

     

    “We all sit round the table and eat together. Andrew and I believe in total parent unity. We’re best friends.”

     

    On the coronation of King Charles III: “Well I’ve decided the best thing about British around a coronation – although I’ve never been to one – I think we should, I should set up a tea room at the bottom of the drive with bunting and cakes.”

     

    “Never presume, never assume. I don’t know. But I’ll be there at the end of the drive with a cup of tea if I’m not there.”

     

    Of wanting to be a television star: “I would quite like to go on Dancing With The Stars. I would like somebody to teach me to tango. I do know the show and my children would be so proud of me.”

     

    On Americans: “I divorced, went to America, wrote a book, went on Oprah and did 12 years as the longest running spokesperson of Weight Watchers. I looked to America to support me and to help me and I really can’t thank the American people enough for what they gave me and what they did for me.”

     

    Of when she decided she wanted to bag a royal: “I met [Prince Andrew] when I was 12, and I said: ‘I’m going to marry him.’”

     

    Of marriage, divorce and work: “I left my marriage knowing I’d have to work. I have.”

     

    “I didn’t want a divorce, but had to because of circumstance.”

     

    “I wish we’d never got divorced. He and I both wish we’d never divorced, but we did. I wish I could go back and be the bride again, but I can’t.”

     

    Of her many, many mistakes: “I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake. Why have I made so many mistakes?”

     

    “You look at the devil in the face, which you do. Then you forgive, and you say: ‘OK, I’ve made almost a mistake that will never be forgotten,’ and forgive.”

     

    “I think the obstacles are the way, as opposed to in the way. I feel very strongly that I completely and utterly own my very naïve self and made endless different wrong decisions, whatever they may be, but in the end, it’s got me to today as an author. I’m a person in my own right, I’m Sarah.”

     

    “I was so out of control with desperation… I was looking for quick fixes in the places I wouldn’t normally look… I’ve been a huge overtrusting, idiotic, stupid woman that went to look for the perfect situation, and that’s all I can say really.”

     

    “I’ve done the work to get to myself. I’ve done masses of mental therapy. I probably reached to the wrong places and the wrong people and made, as you call it, mistakes. I don’t call them mistakes. I call them enormous learning curves.”

     

  • “Oh Boy!” – J. P. Morgan Executive On Evil Monster Jeffrey Epstein

    “Oh Boy!” – J. P. Morgan Executive On Evil Monster Jeffrey Epstein

    That JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive Mary Callahan Erdoes excused Jeffrey Epstein being a paedophile with “oh boy!” and “I don’t know what to believe” emails is proof of how rotten-to-the-core that finance house truly is

    On Friday, Inside Edition shared news that they’d obtained Jeffrey Epstein’s appointment schedules from his “longtime assistant” Lesley Groff and aside from mentioning the likes of the former treasury secretary Larry Summers and his wife Lisa meeting with the since croaked paedophile more than ten times between 2012 and 2016, the documents also mentioned the likes of Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby, the Crown Princess of Norway, and Rupert Murdoch’s now ex-wife Wedni Deng Murdoch.

     

    As ever, the rabbit warren that is the story of Epstein and his puppet mistress Ghislaine Maxwell is a gift that keeps on giving and elsewhere Friday, The Washington Post’s Jacob Bogage and Aaron Gregg published a fascinating report containing the deposition from J. P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s chief executive of its asset and wealth management unit Mary Callahan Erdoes about her dealings with her now deceased client.

     

    In it, they revealed:

     

    “When the banker learned a court had affirmed Jeffrey Epstein’s status as a sex offender likely to harm more victims, she had a terse response.”

     

    “‘Oh boy,’ Mary Erdoes wrote in a 2011 email to a fellow executive at JPMorgan Chase, where Epstein was a client for 15 years.”

     

    “It was at least the sixth time Erdoes, who leads the bank’s asset and wealth management division, had been alerted to Epstein’s criminal or civil legal trouble for sex crimes. She had also been informed as early as 2006 that JPMorgan flagged suspicious activity on his accounts.”

     

    “Erdoes’s statements in a nearly nine-hour deposition conducted in March shed new light on the actions of JPMorgan’s highest-ranking officials while Epstein’s conduct faced legal and public scrutiny.”

     

    “The Washington Post obtained the transcript of the deposition, much of which has been unreported until now. This report is based on Erdoes’s answers in that deposition, as well as emails and other internal bank documents that were read into the record during the deposition or introduced as evidence in other court filings.”

     

    “The deposition transcript shows Erdoes said she had been made aware of Epstein’s convictions for sexual offenses, his status as a high-risk sex offender, and public allegations of abuse of minors and human trafficking. But she said she didn’t think it was her responsibility to remove him as a client, launch an inquiry into his accounts or refer them to compliance officials. JPMorgan has a separate process for dealing with client-related legal issues, she said”

     

    “Jes Staley, Erdoes’s supervisor and one of Epstein’s close friends, did investigate the allegations against Epstein by asking the financier about them, according to records read during the deposition.”

     

    “JPMorgan in a statement said it was ‘unfair for The Post to draw these kinds of conclusions without context for the relevant processes at JPMorgan, the tens of millions of clients, and the many professionals involved.’”

     

    “On more than 100 occasions during the deposition, Erdoes said she did not recall details of her role helping supervise Epstein’s accounts, some of which date back two decades. She described Epstein’s crimes as “allegations” even though he pleaded guilty to procuring a child prostitute in 2008 and was declared a Level 3 sex offender – the most serious designation – by a New York state appeals court in 2011.”

     

    “Asked in the March 15 deposition whether she believed Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019, was engaged in sex trafficking, Erdoes said, ‘I don’t know what to believe.’”

    This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Was J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. executive Mary Callahan Erdoes right to excuse Jeffrey Epstein being confirmed as a paedophile in emails reading ‘I don’t know what to believe’ and ‘oh boy!’? By 11:30am on Sunday 28th May 2023, the very, very clear majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; cares only about £££.”
    Mary Callahan Erdoes
    Mary Callahan Erdoes is clearly a woman who failed to take seriously the allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. Here is a woman who DID NOTHING about a man with £98 million ($121 million, €113 million or درهم444 million) in his accounts with J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. in 2008 and whom also “sought to bring the bank more business, according to legal filings, and profit from fees associated with the work” according to ‘The Washington Post.’

    Jamie Dimon
    J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. chief executive officer Jamie Dimon provided a formal statement in two lawsuits relating to his firm’s relationship with the now deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week. Of such, yesterday, the BBC reported: “The nearly 15-year relationship extended from 1998 to 2013, five years after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the bank ignored warning signs about their lucrative client and continued profiting off him. Both Mr Dimon and his employer have denied any wrongdoing and liability. JP Morgan said on Friday evening that Mr Dimon stated he had never met or communicated with Epstein and did not recall discussing Epstein’s accounts with others at the bank. Mr Dimon’s statement was taken in a private legal meeting known as a deposition at the bank’s New York headquarters earlier in the day.”
    Debbie-Staley-Jes-Staley-1
    “I was her parents’ worst nightmare” – words said by James Staley his very self – will be ringing in the ears of swivel-eyed Debbie Nitzan Staley in the wake of her husband’s former company Barclays’s decision to not (yet) payout £22 million the couple were expecting. No doubt that’ll mean one less holiday for her and her two daughters on their 90-foot long gin palace ‘Bequia’ in the coming years.

    Matthew Steeples suggests Barclays is not taking the Jeffrey Epstein – Jes Staley scandal seriously enough; greed and deviancy should not be protected at LSE listed companies and the firm’s latest baloney shows the firm as not fit for purpose

    Today on Twitter, in the wake of a feature published by Yahoo! Finance’s Sinead Cruise at 7:05am GMT+1, I asked:

     

    “Were the Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) right to recommend Barclays investors re-elect all board members at the firm’s AGM next month in spite of the ongoing scandal of former CEO Jes Staley’s beyond weird relationship with the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?”

     

    In her article, Cruise highlighted:

     

    “[ISS’s decision has resulted in the] sapping the momentum of protests against bosses for supporting former CEO Jes Staley who is being investigated over his links with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.”

     

    “The influential proxy advisor said in a report published on Monday that ‘questions may be posed’ as to the board’s judgment in its decision to back Staley between 2019-2021, but it may be too soon for those questions to influence director elections.”

     

    “Investors should instead await the outcome of various investigations into the matter, ISS said.”

     

    “In a pre-meeting notice to investors last month, Barclays said that since Staley resigned in November 2021 it had received ‘no material new evidence’ from authorities to challenge the findings of a regulatory investigation into how Staley characterised his relationship with Epstein.”

     

    “At the time of his resignation, Barclays said the preliminary conclusions of investigations by British financial regulators into how truthful Staley was about his ties to Epstein made ‘no findings that Mr Staley saw, or was aware of, any of Mr Epstein’s alleged crimes.’”

     

    “Staley has acknowledged having been friendly with Epstein, but expressed regret for their relationship and has denied knowing about the financier’s criminal activities.”

     

    “The notice also said Staley’s unvested long-term bonuses remained suspended pending further developments, adding that the board would ‘consider further action as appropriate.’”

     

    In spite of Staley having holidayed repeatedly on Epstein’s ‘Paedo Island’ and partied with him in New York and likely elsewhere, Cruise referenced that “Staley’s lawyers have dismissed allegations that he hid what he knew about the late disgraced financier as ‘slanderous’and ‘false.’”

     

    She did not, however, reference the trail of 1,000s of emails between the Ponzi schemer Epstein and the ex-JP Morgan and Barclays CEO Staley. The weirdest and most creepy of them read:

     

    Staley: “Maybe they’re tracking u [sic]? That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.”

     

    Epstein: “[W]hat character would you like next?”

     

    Staley: “Beauty and the Beast.”

     

    Epstein: “Well, one side is available.”

He was clearly a very close associate of the dodgy duo, whatever he may continue to claim.

    Acccording to Dirt.com, “the banker with nine lives” Jes Staley and his wife Debora Nitzan Staley purchased a Hamptons property for £10.7 million ($13.2 million, €12.1 million or درهم48.5 million) in October 2021 in spite of already owning a smaller 1-acre “spread” in Southampton. Of it, Dirt.com remarked: “The new place, in the snooty Murray compound in Southampton, sports the essential deeded beach access by way of a hedge-lined grass path. Also, at 2.6 acres, the property is much larger than their current one-acre spread. While the house itself is reportedly a teardown, there’s a sunken tennis court with pavilion, and a gunite pool. The building envelope for the new house is 12,400 square feet, plus a full basement. (Here in the Hamptons, we call the basement the ‘lower level.’ It usually includes a home theater, wine storage, gym, and rooms for staff.) At $1,000 a square foot for high-end building work… well, you do the math for a 12,000 square foot house. The listing says the land has potential to be an important Southampton estate.’ Guess that’s where the Staleys are going with it. Just don’t mention Epstein at the housewarming.”

    Jes Staley (pictured here visiting Downing Street in London when he was the CEO of Barclay’s and still considered ‘Mr Acceptable’ in polite circles) has also been named in a separate lawsuit brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein. In it, one victim, named only as ‘Jane Doe 1,’ has claimed Staley watched on willingly as Epstein “sexually grabbed young women in front of him” and “benefitted from their close relationship in the receipt of massages, private jet flights with victims or co-conspirators of the operation, and other things of value.” Going further, ‘Jane Doe 1’ added: “[Staley] was the key to making all of Epstein’s depraved dreams of sexual abuse and sex trafficking of countless young women possible.”
  • The Stench of ‘Snow White’ Staley – When Will Anything But Innocent Casino Banker Jes Staley Finally Fall?

    The Stench of ‘Snow White’ Staley – When Will Anything But Innocent Casino Banker Jes Staley Finally Fall?

    As “serious and new” allegations emerge against disgraced banker Jes Staley, when will the sickening stench of his links to Jeffrey Epstein finally result in his being taken down

    In May 2018, the casino banker and very, very, very close chum of the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that is James Edward Staley (AKA ‘Jes’ to this greedy sod’s few remaining mates) was forced to pay a fine of £642,300 ($793,127, €730,016 or درهم2.913 million) and return of £500,000 ($617,000, €568,000 or درهم2.3 million) of his bonus also after being caught out for “breaching the standard of care required” when he attempted to unmask a whistleblower whilst CEO of Barclays.

     

    Now, as JPMorgan Chase proceed with their case against this 66-year-old Boston, Massachusetts born man who was also their group chief executive between October 2018 and November 2021, Barclays have further sought to distance themselves from Staley.

     

    In a statement released earlier this week to its shareholders, the firm suggested the latest allegations concerning how bankers financed and enabled the sex trafficking operations of Jeffrey Epstein (and thus also in reality Ghislaine Maxwell): “The board has noted the recent allegations made in the context of proceedings involving Mr Jes Staley’s former employer, and against Mr Staley himself, in relation to events a few years prior to his joining Barclays. These allegations are serious and new.”

     

    This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Are Barclays taking the allegations against their “Snow White” and “Beauty & The Beast” loving former CEO Jes Staley and his involvement with the late paedo Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein seriously enough?” As of 11am on Thursday 30th March 2023, the majority of respondents unsurprisingly favoured the answer: “No; new CEO should speak.”

    Attempting to stop further fuel being added to this toxic fire, however, they added: “Barclays itself has received no material new evidence from regulators or law enforcement agencies since Mr Staley left in November 2021.”

     

    Worse still were recent revelations that, in July 2010, Staley had begun a 1,200 strong chain of emails with Epstein featuring all sorts of deviancy. The worst of it included codewords that allegedly related to young girls and included correspondence that numbered:

     

    Staley: “Maybe they’re tracking u [sic]? That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.”

     

    Epstein: “[W]hat character would you like next?”

     

    Staley: “Beauty and the Beast.”

     

    Epstein: “Well, one side is available.”

     

    Asked of the “Snow White” correspondence previously, Staley’s lawyer stated: “[The emails were innocuous]… We wish to make it expressly clear that our client had no involvement in any of the alleged crimes committed by Mr Epstein, and code words were never used by Mr Staley in any communications with Mr Epstein, ever.”

     

    Going further himself in 2020, the 66-year old, Massachusetts born Boston Red Sox fan and Democratic Party donor whined: “Obviously, I thought I knew [Epstein] well and I didn’t. For sure, with hindsight with what we know now, I deeply regret having any relationship with Jeffrey.”

     

    Current JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon – described by CNBC as “one of the most powerful titan’s of Wall Street” and a billionaire who received the Legion d’Honneur courtesy of President Macron in November 2022 – is now about to face a grilling in connection to the scandal also.

     

    Though his spinners are painting Jes Staley as “the rogue employee” and trying to salvage the reputation of Dimon – who has a £393 million ($485 million, €446 million or درهم1.8 billion) stake in the firm he’s been in charge of since 2005 – an attorney for the U.S. Virgin Islands in the case against JPMorgan Chase this week stated:

     

    • “If Staley is a rogue employee, why isn’t Jamie Dimon?”
    • “Staley knew, Dimon knew, JPMorgan Chase knew.”
    • “They broke every rule to facilitate his sex trafficking in exchange for Epstein’s wealth, connections and referrals.”

     

    Responding, Patricia Wexler, a spokesman for JPMorgan pointedly prattled: “Jamie Dimon has no recollection of reviewing the Epstein accounts.” Mr Dimon, a 67-year-old New York born father of three, faces an under-oath interview in May in early May, Banking Dive yesterday reported.

     

    Discovery continues in this case and further hearings will continue into the autumn of 2023, but frankly, the question on everyone’s lips is: “Will Jes Staley finally be thrown to the wolves and end up as one of the very few exposed in a case that clearly involves many, many, many other very famous faces?”

    Jamie Dimon Prince Andrew
    In November 2013, Jamie Dimon dined with his firm’s then client Jeffrey Epstein’s former ‘bestie’ Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace. Of this ritzy escapade, the ‘Financial Times’ reported: “It must have been a welcome spot of light relief for Jamie Dimon. Only days after he finally agreed to a $13bn settlement with US mortgage regulators, the boss of JPMorgan – and dozens of his corporate clients – were sitting back amid the splendour of Buckingham Palace, enjoying a fine dinner and performances by the Royal Philharmonic and the English National Ballet. The event, hosted by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reflects growing enthusiasm by the Royal Family to use its premises to promote business interests. But it also risks stoking criticism over its apparent commercialisation and its intimacy with business.” Other guests included the former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Indian industrialist Ratan Tata and the event was organised by another “close personal friend” of the Duke of York, “the veteran City dealmaker” David Mayhew.

  • Staley Sued – Disgraced Banker Jes Staley Pursued By J. P. Morgan

    Staley Sued – Disgraced Banker Jes Staley Pursued By J. P. Morgan

    As disgraced ‘casino banker’ Jes Staley gets sued by J. P. Morgan, Matthew Steeples calls for other noxious names linked to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to also face justice

    Father of two James Edward Staley (AKA ‘Jes Staley’) is facing further woes in the wake of the death of the friend he once wanted to give a “heartfelt hug,” the late paedophile Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein.

     

    Yesterday, with news shared by Anna Wise in Independent.ie, that his former employers, the New York based bankers J. P. Morgan, “wants “to hold Mr Staley personally liable for any financial penalties that J. P. Morgan may have to pay in two related cases,” came further woes for a man exposed as somewhat sinister after revelations about his bizarre ‘Snow White’ referencing emails to his croaked chum emerged in February.

     

    Of the latest development, Wise observed:

     

    “It also wants to force Mr Staley to repay wages that he earned during the time he was allegedly aware of the abuse and repeatedly ‘personally observed’ Epstein’s behaviour.”

     

    “‘In light of Staley’s intentional and outrageous conduct in failing to disclose pertinent information and abandoning (J. P. Morgan’s) interests in favour of his own and Epstein’s personal interests, (the bank) is entitled to punitive damages,’ J. P. Morgan said in its lawsuit. A lawyer for Mr Staley had no comment.”

     

    “J. P. Morgan’s case was filed after the bank was sued by the government of the US Virgin Islands, as well as by a woman identified as Jane Doe, who was allegedly abused by Epstein.”

     

    “Previous lawsuits have shown Mr Staley and Epstein exchanged hundreds of emails and text messages over the years, and they were seen to have a close relationship that went beyond the professional relationship a banker would have with a wealthy client.”

     

    “The bank continues to deny the allegations in its lawsuit but appears to allege Mr Staley may have committed sexual assault.”

     

    “It notes in its lawsuit that the anonymous Ms Doe described a ‘powerful financial executive’ who could ‘use his clout within JPMorgan to make Epstein untouchable.’”

     

    “Mr Staley left J. P. Morgan in 2013 to become CEO of London-based bank Barclays.”

     

    “He resigned last year after a report by British regulators into his past links with Epstein.”

     

    Going further, in a statement to The Guardian’s banking correspondent Kalyeena Makortoff, J. P. Morgan additionally added:

     

    “While the conduct Epstein was accused of is despicable, the lawsuits against JPMC are misplaced and without merit. The plaintiffs have made troubling allegations concerning the conduct of our former employee Jes Staley, and if true he should be held responsible for his actions.”

     

    “At the time, we could not have imagined any of our employees would engage in the type of conduct alleged. We expect all of our employees at every level of the firm to act with honesty and integrity. If these allegations against Staley are true, he violated this duty by putting his own personal interests ahead of the company’s.”

     

    Now, again today, I remind readers of a key fact in this matter: Why haven’t those that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficked to yet to face justice? The clock is still ticking and there is still time for the many other powerful, pugnacious people linked to this sordid story to be brought to justice.

    In times past Labour peer Lord Mandelson – ‘Mandy’ to his dear and always very wealthy muckers – described the former Barclay’s boss Bob Diamond as “the unacceptable face of banking.” Peter Mandelson, meanwhile, was quite happy to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein, a mutual mate of his successor Jes Staley, at his £10 million Paris paedo pad circa 20th January 2007 in spite of the taxi driver turned sex trafficker having been charged with soliciting a woman for prostitution in August 2006. Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein are pictured here celebrating the latter’s birthday with wine and a cake presented by a diminutive butler named Valdson Viera Cortin. Clearly, Epstein owned the bankers and their cohorts more than they owned him.

  • Shushing Staley – Jeffrey Epstein’s Fat Cat Barclays Banker Jes Staley Faces Claims He “Personally Observed” Sexual Abuse

    Shushing Staley – Jeffrey Epstein’s Fat Cat Barclays Banker Jes Staley Faces Claims He “Personally Observed” Sexual Abuse

    As Jeffrey Epstein’s “fat cat” banker Jes Staley faces allegations that he “personally observed” his chum abusing young women, isn’t it time that his shameless shushing simply stopped? Silence is certainly not golden in this sordid saga

    Ponzi peddling paedo Jeffrey Epstein and noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell went to see Pope John Paul II in 2003, but though they likely sought his blessing, it was always a case of “follow the money” for these two. Far more important in enabling their nefarious activities were big-baller bankers and now one of the most important of that number, former Barclays and JPMorgan head honcho Jes Staley, is facing fresh woes over his connections to the decidedly deviant duo.

     

    “Obviously, I thought I knew him well and I didn’t. For sure, with hindsight with what we know now, I deeply regret having any relationship with Jeffrey” whined Staley in 2020 of his links to the croaked sex fiend abuse. Last night though, the MailOnline shared that the former boss of Barclays is now additionally being accused of ‘personally observing’ Jeffrey Epstein abusing young women, according to a victim’s lawsuit filed against JPMorgan.

     

    The paper’s Jamie Phillips surmised:

     

    “He has now been named in a lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s victims, a woman known only as Jane Doe 1. She is suing JP Morgan, where Staley was chief executive until 2013 and had Epstein as a client.”

     

    “The lawsuit, filed at Manhattan federal court, alleges that Staley was aware of Epstein trafficking women and witnessed him abusing them… The woman also claims Staley would often visit Epstein at his homes, which included ‘the massage room’ within his townhouse in New York, as well as his private island in the US Virgin Islands and a ‘victim stash house’ in Manhattan.”

     

    Staley – who also took his wife on their 90-foot yacht named Bequia to Epstein’s ‘Paedo Islands’ in 2015 and whom exchanged 1,200 emails with the paedophile from his JPMorgan email account between 2008 and 2012 alone and goodness knows what communications elsewhere – stands accused in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan specifically of:

     

    “[Being] a regular visitor of Epstein’s … and personally observed Jane Doe 1 as a sexual trafficking and abuse victim at times including through his departure from JP Morgan in 2013.”

     

    “To be clear, during his years as a top executive at JP Morgan, Staley was not only one of Epstein’s closest pals, but more importantly, he was a frequent visitor at Epstein’s townhouse, including visiting the massage room; Staley met many of Epstein’s trafficking victims, including Jane Doe 1; Staley visited the Epstein-owned victim stash house apartments at [an address on the Upper East Side], and Staley personally observed the sexual abuse of young women, including Jane Doe 1.”

     

    “These actions were within the scope of Staley’s employment at JP Morgan.”

     

    “As a result of Staley’s direct and actual knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking venture, JP Morgan had direct and actual knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking venture.”

     

    Curiously Barclays had also previously counted Ghislaine Maxwell as a top-drawer client. The firm turfed out the pension pot plunderer’s dodgy daughter unceremoniously in February 2021, a day after the ‘buyer’ of her Kinnerton Street, Belgravia mews house deposited £130,000 there.

    In times past Labour peer Lord Mandelson – ‘Mandy’ to his dear and always very wealthy muckers – described the former Barclays boss Bob Diamond as “the unacceptable face of banking.” Peter Mandelson, meanwhile, was quite happy to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein, a mutual mate of his successor Jes Staley, at his £10 million Paris paedo pad circa 20th January 2007 in spite of the taxi driver turned sex trafficker having been charged with soliciting a woman for prostitution in August 2006. Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein are pictured here celebrating the latter’s birthday with wine and a cake presented by a diminutive butler named Valdson Viera Cortin.
    Little-St-James-Paedo-Island
    Little St James – now quite understandably better known as ‘Paedo Island’ – was not only the scene of meetings between the now former Barclays CEO and the now croaked paedophile in 2015 and likely on other occasions also. It was also allegedly one of the locations where Prince Andrew abused the woman he paid £12 million to in spite of claiming to have never met, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Since Epstein’s rather suspicious death in 2019, various “garish” items on the island have been removed – amongst them gargoyles and sculptures of cockatoos and a cow. Unsurprisingly, the island remains for sale and currently Margo Lynch of Christie’s International Real Estate is laughably attempting to flog this hellhole and neighbouring Great St James as “an island hopper’s dream” for £91.3 million – down from £94.5 million in March 2022 and prior valuations of £181.8 million. One is simply left asking: “Who’d call places where countless people were abused a ‘dream’? They’re more like a ‘nightmare’!” Margo Lynch must be on either crack, acid, the hooch or all of the aforementioned.
  • Crypto Crook’s Big Short – Will Sam Bankman-Fried Story Be Turned Into Blockbuster?

    Crypto Crook’s Big Short – Will Sam Bankman-Fried Story Be Turned Into Blockbuster?

    Crypto crook Sam Bankman-Fried astonishingly gets to hang out with the author of ‘The Big Short’ in spite of being on £207 million bail and now has not only Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer onside but also Prince Andrew’s judge to face also

    Sam Bankman-Fried is one of those marauding millennials with an ability to simply not behave himself. Even after being arrested after allegedly defrauding investors by ‘losing’ £8.2 billion, deported from the Bahamas to the United States of America and managing to persuade a judge to let him out on a bail bond of £207 million, he’s continuing to seek attention.

     

    Incapable of piping down and learning the art of silence, which might be wise given he’s upset a lot of very, very rich people by plundering their pockets, the aptly named Bankman-Fried has supposedly been having meetings with the author of the blockbuster The Big Short and getting tips about rap music and haircuts from the ex-con and ‘pharma thief’ Mark Shkreli.

     

    Having also hired the very expensive lawyers the noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell owes a packet to in spite of himself having less than £80,000 left himself, this 30-year old is back living off the ‘bank of mum and dad’ and had author Michael Lewis round to his parents £3.3 million pad for “several hours on Friday,” according to Associated Press.

     

    Lewis, who in addition to The Big Short penned Moneyball and The Blind Side – all of which were turned into Hollywood blockbusters – spoke of how he’d found a new “character” back in August with the Financial News.

     

    At the time, he remarked:

     

    “I really don’t want to reveal exactly what I’m writing about, but I found a character through whom I can write about. It weirdly links up Flash Boys, The Big Short and Liar’s Poker.”

     

    “I guess it is possible it will be framed as a crypto book, but it won’t be a crypto book.”

     

    ‘It’ll be about this really unusual character. You’ll learn all about crypto and you’ll learn about what screwed up market structure in the United States and so on.”

     

    Curiously, also linking Bankman-Fried to the mucky madam Maxwell, his case was reassigned to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan last week – the very same judge who handled the civil case between Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Prince Andrew back in January this year.

     

    ‘Randy Andy’ subsequently paid a sum of £12 million to Giuffre in spite of claiming he’d never had sexual relations or even met her at Maxwell’s Belgravia, London ‘bonk pad’ back in March 2001; the non-sweating, Pizza Express loving royal will be mocked again tomorrow in a Channel 4 satire titled Prince Andrew: The Musical. No doubt, if he tunes in, he’ll end up throwing his teddy bears at the telly box.

    Prince Andrew The Musical
    ‘Prince Andrew: The Musical’ will undoubtedly be a “must watch” tomorrow, Thursday 29th December 2022, on Channel 4 at 9pm. It stars Kieran Hodgson as the Duke of York and an ensemble cast including Munya Chawawa as Prince Charles, Jenny Bede as Prince Andrew’s live-in ex-wife Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, Emma Sidi as journalist Emily Maitlis, and Harry Enfield and drag queen Baga Chipz as Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Maggie Thatcher respectively.
    Prince Andrew teddy bears
    The Duke of Edinburgh is known for his obsession with how his teddy bears are arranged. He may be even more so after the airing of a musical about him tomorrow; perhaps they’ll be the only thing left capable of bringing him comfort given his very own brother is currently doing all he can to send him to Siberia.
    Ghislaine Maxwell Martin Shkreli
    The world’s supposed biggest ever crypto crook may well find the experiences of Ghislaine Maxwell and Martin Shkreli helpful when and if he hits the clink. These equally arrogant once rich ratbags may be able to teach him a thing or two about how to survive alongside the poor, ordinary folk they once lauded it over.
    ‘The Big Short’ told the story of the years leading up to the 2007 housing market crash in America. It showed greed and avarice and illustrated such at its very worst. It is quite suitable a subject to remind not only Bankman-Fried, but also Maxwell and Shkreli of given they are personifications, all three of them, of such.
  • Lost & Linked Via Lawyers – Alleged Fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried Hires Fraudster’s Daughter Ghislaine Maxwell’s Lawyers

    Lost & Linked Via Lawyers – Alleged Fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried Hires Fraudster’s Daughter Ghislaine Maxwell’s Lawyers

    That the man who ‘lost’ his investors over £8.2 billion Sam Bankman-Fried has hired a lawyer used by the woman whose dad ‘lost’ £500 million of pensioners’ money Ghislaine Maxwell is telling

    Birds of a feather do tend to flock together and now it seems the daughter of the pension pot plundering thief Robert Maxwell’s lawyer has moved on and taken on another alleged scammer. Now, it seems, fresh from failing to keep her out of the clink in 2021, mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer Mark S. Cohen has taken on alleged cryptocurrency conman Sam Bankman-Fried.

     

    Said to once be worth as much as £21.5 billion ($26.5 billion, €25 billion or درهم97.3 billion) but now down to one working credit card with “maybe £81,000 ($100,000, €95,000 or درهم367,000) in that bank account,” self-declared “I didn’t ever try to commit fraud” Bankman-Fried is surely hardly a dream client but clearly Cohen, a former assistant United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, is banking on getting a win rather than a lose this time round.

     

    Given, however, that Bankman-Fried also spoke “against the advice of his lawyers” earlier this month at The New York Times’ Dealbook Summit, one is simply left questioning this managing partner at Cohen & Gresser’s rationale. In fact, let’s get to the point: Is Mark S. Cohen just a man who is actually a magnet for multimillionaire megalomaniacs who simply cannot and will not ever pay their bills?

     

    Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.

     

    Pictured Top (left to right) – Alleged fraudster and CEO of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried (better known just as ‘SBF’) and £3 million debtor-to-her-lawyers Ghislaine Maxwell with her late Ponzi scheming fraudster lover Jeffrey Epstein and with her late pension pot plundering papa, Robert Maxwell.

     

    Mark S Cohen Ghislaine Maxwell
    Fresh from failing for Ghislaine Maxwell, Mark S. Cohen, attorney and managing partner of Cohen & Gresser, has been retained by FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried (AKA ‘SBF’) – who is also said to be consulting David Mills, a professor at Stanford Law. Joseph Bankman, the father of ‘SBF,’ is also a Stanford Law professor.
    Sam Bankman-Fried
    Scruffy ‘SBF’ – born in March 1992 – remarkably achieved the almighty ‘accolade’ of building a personal fortune of £21.5 billion and then very quickly losing it in his 30 years on the planet. He’s said to be down to his last £80,000 and the chances of him being able to personally pay his new lawyer, Mark S. Cohen, seem as likely as Ghislaine Maxwell ponying up and paying her outstanding said to be £3 million plus legal bills.
    Mr and Mrs Scott Borgerson with Mr and Mrs Jeff Spruill
    In happier times… Mr and Mrs Scott Borgerson (pictured left and right with a couple named Vikki Spruill and Jeff Spruill “at a cake-cutting ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of the New England Aquarium on 20th June 2019) seemed like they were destined for a life of luxury and lavishness back when they met in 2015. Little did Mr Borgerson know what he was in for, or, did he plan it all along? Did he know what was coming and did he, like his fellow submarine pilot, have deviousness on the brain? They say that the “truth is stranger than fiction” and in the case of a couple who hid their union even from Ghislaine Maxwell’s siblings until she was arrested, something most definitely stinks to high heaven. Mr Borgerson now finds himself, along with his in-the-clink wife and her brother Kevin, chased by lawyers said to be seeking circa £3 million in unpaid fees.
    Scott Borgerson and Kris McGinn
    He’s definitely moved on… Scott Borgerson clearly doesn’t miss his old ‘missus’ Ghislaine. Though he clearly was never proud enough to be open with anyone (and nor was she) during their union – they married in either late 2015 or early 2016, depending on which source you might take as gospel – he’s now living it up with a sexually saucy “yoga enthusiast” with an “ass that could crack open a walnut” named Kris McGinn. On Instagram, she describes herself to her 149 followers as a “writer” and though she’s not posted since 19th October 2021, she previously bizarrely mused about ravens in October 2020. At that time, she quoted a bit of Edgar Allan Poe – “But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into smiling” – and stated: “Loved learning more about these marvelous creatures with Jim Benhke for this week’s Cricket.” Clearly, whilst she then got to “smile” when Ghislaine Maxwell got sent down on 29th December 2021, all the mucky madam got instead was an errant husband who, it seems, has run off with her ‘wonga wonga.’
    Sex trafficking to nobody
    Aside from unpaid lawyers, the Twitterati continue to point out that Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time lover remains “the first person ever to be convicted of trafficking children to nobody.” Isn’t it time, especially if she wants to see any reduction in her sentence, that the noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell offered up some of the very, very high profile names to whom she and her co-conspirators (including the also croaked Jean-Luc Brunel) ‘supplied’ girls and boys even?

    Ghislaine Maxwell and Scott Borgerson – Known assets that should be sold (and one that has already been sold) that should fund the payment of the lawyers they hired with the help of Kevin Maxwell

    Linked by their mutual love of submarines and protecting assets and their identities in a secretive fashion, Scott Borgerson and his very much estranged wife – it is not known if they have yet divorced – are known to have most recently together been connected with the following properties:

     

    The-Phippen-Smith-House

    The Phippen-Smith House (AKA ‘Tidewood’), 301 Summer Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Cape Ann, Essex County, Massachusetts, MA 01944, United States of America

     

    Currently for sale for £6.52 million ($6.95 million, €7.28 million or درهم25.52 million). Purchased by a limited liability company controlled by Ghislaine Maxwell’s then “secret husband” Scott Borgerson for £2.294 million ($2.450 million, €2.564 million or درهم8.998 million) on 30th June 2016. During the transaction, decidedly deviant Ghislaine Maxwell is said to have used the pseudonym ‘Jennifer Ellmax.’

     

    Tuckedaway

    Tuckedaway, 338 East Washington Road, Bradford, New Hampshire, NH 03221, United States of America

     

    Purchased for £1.004 million ($1.070 million, €1.121 million or درهم3.932million) in a cash transaction on 13th December 2019 by a shell company formed on 18th November 2019 named Granite Realty LLC.

     

    Approached in November for comment as to the current status of this property by The Steeple Times, a representative selling agent at the time of Maxwell’s purchase, Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty, cryptically responded: “We have no information on this property and unfortunately have no contact information for the owner. Sorry we could not be of more help.”

     

    44-Kinnerton-Street-Belgravia

    44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, London, SW1X 8ES, United Kingdom

     

    Purchased by Ghislaine Maxwell in 1997 for £290,000 ($310,000, €324,000 or درهم1.1 million) on 22nd January 1997 and sold by her representatives on 19th April 2021 for £1.75 million ($1.87 million, €1.96 million or درهم6.87 million).

     

    A neighbour, approached recently by The Steeple Times, shared: “We are sick of ghouls coming to look at this house. They bang on the door and when they don’t get an answer as it is clearly empty, they pester us. One even asked me if I could help him get in as he wanted to take a picture on the landing. He said: ‘I want my Prince Andrew shot.’ I told him to bugger off.”

     

  • Minus Money Mucky Madam – Ghislaine Maxwell’s Flat Broke; Cut Off Financially By Estranged Husband Scott Borgerson

    Minus Money Mucky Madam – Ghislaine Maxwell’s Flat Broke; Cut Off Financially By Estranged Husband Scott Borgerson

    As noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell is revealed to be flat broke, has not paid her lawyers the £3 million she owes to date and has been financially cut off by her estranged hubby Scott Borgerson, will she even be able to afford an £845,000 appeal?

    Nasty, noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell used to consider herself to be the female equivalent of ‘Barry Big Bollocks,’ but now it seems the once very, very wealthy socialite is now completely penniless.

     

    If reports, published first at the weekend in The Sun on Sunday and then more recently in The Mirror, are to be believed the mucky madam’s estranged husband has completely pulled the plug on funding and thus likely wrecked her chances of even getting lawyers to represent her at the appeal she and her brothers keep claiming her to be bringing.

     

    Supposedly, as we revealed in September, at least £3 million to the various lawyers she hired in conjunction with both her husband Scott Borgerson and brother Kevin Maxwell, the former lover of Jeffrey Epstein now needs another £845,000 to even begin working on any appeal against her 20-year prison sentence.

     

    Of where the money of a once very, very wealthy woman who most definitely has links to the ownership of the not currently on the market £1 million ‘Tuckedaway’ in Bradford, New Hampshire and the very much still for sale £6.5 million ‘The Phippen Smith House’ in Manchester-by-the-Sea is, The Mirror’s Alahna Kindred suggested:

     

    “Mr Borgerson controls almost all of Maxwell’s funds through a trust fund, which includes what she has left from the £12.6 million sale of her New York home.”

     

    “It was previously reported that the firm was repeatedly told by Kevin Maxwell that Borgerson was in control of Maxwell’s assets and that it was because of him the payments were delayed.”

     

    “Mr Borgerson, who married Maxwell in 2016, reportedly met with her brother Kevin and her US lawyers to discuss the appeal.

     

    “A source claimed to the paper that Mr Borgerson was ‘being difficult’ but promised to send the funds. However, in a separate instance, the firm later accused him of acting under ‘false pretenses’ after not receiving the money.”

     

    “The source added: ‘Her lawyers have not been paid. That is a serious matter in itself. Worse, she needs to come up with another $1million to fund the appeal. Right now, Scott’s given her nothing.’”

     

    “When contacted by The Mirror, Mr Borgerson pointed to a court document from September that showed Colorado law firm Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, which acted for Maxwell in the trial, said Mr Borgerson ‘expressed cooperation, transparency and honesty’ in regards to the ‘alleged transfers of property.’ He refused to comment further.”

     

    Going further, we today suggest, it is time for forensic analysis of what other funds Miss Maxwell has managed to stash away with the help of Borgerson and her family. Again, we ask: “What happened to the £500 million plundered from pensioners and funneled by Jeffrey Epstein – a man who met Robert Maxwell long before his daughter did – to build a lifestyle beyond ludicrous for his daughter in America and elsewhere?” Evidence suggests this money was managed not only by the since croaked Ponzi schemer, but also held in locations including Jersey and Lichtenstein and it is now pertinent that the relevant authorities do their due diligence and locate these funds.

     

    Meanwhile elsewhere, it seems that others who’ve fallen victim to ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter’s inability to cough up include her pugnacious PR peddlers Brian Basham and Jay Beecher. The former hasn’t even managed a tweet on any subject since 11th July whilst the latter grubby gifter’s ‘The Maxwell Files’ website has not even had any form of update since 18th April.

     

    Pictured Top – Scott Borgerson pictured speaking at a conference about capital (he certainly has plenty of that whilst his estranged wife, it seems, has zilch, zero, nowt); Ghislaine Maxwell (AKA the estranged ‘Mrs Scott Borgerson’) meanwhile once had millions courtesy of her father, many still ask what happened to the £500 million he plundered; the question now is: “What does Scott Borgerson know about this money?”

     

    Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.

     

    One-time ‘columnist’ (though crafting a sentence ain’t up there in his skill set) for the far-right rag ‘Politicalite’ Jay Beecher’s last missive on Twitter about Ghislaine Maxwell – a wicked woman whose brothers he clearly arselicked a little too much even for their own liking that they’ve now turned him off – came on the 9th November. He referenced Alan Dershowitz reaching an agreement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre and then tried to make the whole thing about himself in claiming ‘The Daily Beast’ had “branded” him a “paedophile protector” in “smear articles.” This clear believer that he’s ‘The Big I Am’ just cannot accept that even a tinpoint tattling title like ‘Politicalite’ doesn’t even want him anymore – his last mention (in an article by Jordan James, not an article by him) there came on 15th May.
    In happier times… Mr and Mrs Scott Borgerson seemed like they were destined for a life of luxury and lavishness back when they met in 2015. Little did Mr Borgerson know what he was in for, or, did he plan it all along? Did he know what was coming and did he, like his fellow submarine pilot, have deviousness on the brain?
