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.”

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?
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples 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?” By 11:30am on Monday 17th April 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; cover-up.”Jes Staley, at the time a senior JP Morgan executive (left), with former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers and Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 at the latter’s Lenox Hill, New York mansion.“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.The now left-out-in-the-cold banker was listed in the infamous ‘Little Black Book’ sometimes wrongly accredited to being Jeffrey Epstein’s – but mostly that features the addresses of contacts of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter Ghislaine Maxwell – and had six contact numbers as well as an email there. He was clearly a very close associate of the dodgy duo, whatever he may continue to claim.Mr and Mrs Staley have owned two apartments at 930 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10028 (#6N and #6S) for some years now. The 22-unit building is described by StreetEasy.com as “an elegant Renaissance Revival style building comprised of Roman brick, terra cotta, limestone, and granite.” The landmarked, “intimate” pre-war cooperative building was designed by Schwartz & Gross and “offers full services amenities including a full-time doorman, canopied entrance, fitness room and storage.” Conveniently for the Snow White and Beauty & The Beast loving banker: “Pets and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted.” 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.”Allegations about Mr Staley and blackmail and corruption have been doing the rounds for some years now.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.”
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.
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.”
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?”

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.“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’s decision to not (yet) payout £22 million the couple were expecting.

On 25th March, one user named David remarked: “They’ve got the goods on [him]… He’ll likely be the star of the 3rd chapter in the #Epstein saga due to the sheer volume of accusers and documented dirt on him.”
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.

Epstein got it “free” from his close “chum” Leslie Wexner, but claimed to have paid £14.5 million for it in 1998. He met with Staley there on multiple occasions.“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’s decision to not yet payout £22 million the couple were expecting.

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.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.”
As further details of Jes Staley’s 1,200 very, very, very strange emails to Jeffrey Epstein emerge, the relationship between the banker and the Ponzi scheming paedophile is show to be very, very, very pally
“I owe you much” enthused the since disgraced ex-JPMorgan and Barclay’s chief executive officer Jes Staley in an email to the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking of his own wife, Debbie Nitzan Staley, at around the same time, the former “fat cat” banker declared: “I was her parents’ worst nightmare” and clearly now, he is morphing into something worse than even that.
Going further and revealed only because of the unsealing of 1,200 emails sent between the pair between 2008 and 2012 in the context of a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) against JPMorgan Chase & Co., Staley wrote in November 2009 of a visit to Epstein’s now notorious ‘Paedo Islands’:
“So when all hell breaks lose [sic], and the world is crumbling, I will come here, and be at peace. Presently, I’m in the hot tub with a glass of white wine. This is an amazing place. Truly amazing. Next time, we’re here together. I owe you much. And I deeply appreciate our friendship. I have few so profound.”
Even more bizarrely and especially telling of their very, very close relationship, in December 2009, Staley sent another missive to Epstein – who held about 55 accounts containing hundreds of millions of dollars with JPMorgan in the period between 1998 and 2013. It read:
“I realize [sic] the danger in sending this email. But it was great to be able, today, to give you, in New York City, a long heartfelt, hug.”
Replying the next day, Epstein – who Staley visited whilst he was in prison even in 2008 and 2009 – stated: “You were with Larry, and I had to put up with…” and included a photo of a young woman.
“Don’t tell me a French wine,” answered Staley whilst Epstein punched back: “Always thoughts of alcohol.”
Later that month, Epstein sent Staley an email featuring only a picture of a young woman and by January, the banker was off sailing his yacht for one of many visits to the Ponzi scheming paedophile’s islands.
On arrival, in January 2010, Staley wrote: “Arrived at your harbor [sic]. Someday, we have to do this together.” Here indeed was indication of a relationship stronger than that simply of banker-client and one of a seemingly very close friendship and mutual ‘appreciation’ of one another.
Worse still, in July 2010, Staley began a chain of emails with Epstein in what has become the most notorious communications between this pair of deviants yet. It went as follows:
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 has 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.”
The USVI takes a very, very different view and argues that Staley’s emails reference the young girls that Epstein was procuring for sexual abuse. They argue that JPMorgan, as Staley’s employer at the time, is liable for facilitating Epstein’s abuse in their territory.

Pictured Top – Disgraced banker Jes Staley is someone who’d now like everyone to “shush” about his “Snow White” emails; croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein is probably looking up from hell and laughing at the hell he’s causing for those he sucked into his evil web.

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.”

Epstein got it “free” from his close “chum” Leslie Wexner, but claimed to have paid £14.5 million for it in 1998.“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’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.The now left-out-in-the-cold banker was listed in the infamous ‘Little Black Book’ sometimes wrongly accredited to being Jeffrey Epstein’s – but mostly that features the addresses of contacts of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter – and had six contact numbers as well as an email there. He was clearly a very close associate of the dodgy duo, whatever he may next claim.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 – 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.
Matthew Steeples reports that both Bentley and Rolls-Royce saw sales boom in 2022 in spite of the war between Russia and Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis
Whilst 2022 saw Russian oligarchs having their assets seized and the cost-of-living crisis kicking-in in Britain and beyond for more regular folk, it seems the ultra-high-net-worths (UHNWs) with a penchant for a ‘prestige motor’ didn’t put their pennies away. Yesterday, Bentley Motors revealed their sales last year increased by 4%; Rolls-Royce Motor Cars increased by 8%.
With Bentley selling a total of 15,174 cars and Rolls-Royce a total of 6,021, both marques achieved milestone numbers beyond all expectations. Pacific Asia in general and China in particular as locations were key to the expansion of sales of each and electric models were notable in their growth especially.
Of his firm’s success, Adrian Hallmark, chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors remarked:
“In what was another year of unpredictability, the business overcame significant headwinds and demonstrated great resilience to deliver the third consecutive record sales year. This underlines our brand strength, operational excellence and strong global demand by market and model.”
“The reaction to the market introduction of our hybrid models, Flying Spur joining Bentayga last year, demonstrate the path the luxury sector is heading, and we are positioned firmly at the forefront. These numbers are validation that we not only lead the sector in sales and market share, but also investment in electric technologies and commitment to being net carbon neutral in 2030.”
Of his firm’s success, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars added:
“2022 has been a momentous year for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Not only did we reveal Rolls‑Royce Spectre, our marque’s first ever fully-electric series model to the world, it was also the first year we ever delivered more than 6,000 cars in a single 12-month period, with strong demand across our entire product portfolio.”
“But as a true ‘House of Luxury,’ sales are not our sole measure of success: we are not and never will be a volume manufacturer. Bespoke IS Rolls-Royce, and commissions were also at record levels last year, with our clients’ requests becoming ever more imaginative and technically demanding – a challenge we enthusiastically embrace. The unrivalled ‘Bespoke’ creativity and quality achieved by our team here in Goodwood means that on average, our clients are now happy to pay around half a million Euros for their unique motor car.”
“As we mark the 20th anniversary of the ‘Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood,’ these results confirm Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars as a great British success story. Our business is built on extremely strong foundations, and we have secured advance orders stretching far into 2023. And while we are not immune to global challenges and economic headwinds, thanks to our balanced worldwide sales strategy, we are cautiously optimistic that 2023 will be a strong year for Rolls‑Royce.”
The Bentley Motors range starts at a base recommended retail price of £233,235 ($283,082, €263,348 or درهم1.03 million) whilst the Rolls-Royce range begins at £162,500 ($197,197, €183,490 or درهم724,280).

Accompanying their 2022 sales announcement, Bentley Motors shared a regional breakdown of where the 15,174 vehicles they produced were sold. Whilst the largest number was in the Americas, their biggest growth was in Asia Pacific – where they increased sales by 23%.Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited did not supply a similar breakdown of figures, but instead a series of bullet points illustrating the success of this BMW Group controlled entity.Torsten Müller-Ötvös with his firm’s forthcoming Spectre model. The car is being marketed as the marque’s first ever all-electric “super coupé.” First client deliveries will take place in the fourth quarter of 2023 and of it, the firm declare it to be “the marque’s first step towards building only fully-electric cars by the end of 2030” and that demand for Spectre has “exceeded the company’s most ambitious expectations.”Of demand for their models, Rolls-Royce surmised: “In 2022 Cullinan (pictured) consolidated its position as the most in-demand Rolls-Royce, while Ghost was the marque’s best-selling model in the Asia-Pacific region. Black Badge, Rolls‑Royce’s more rebellious alter ego, has witnessed extraordinary growth.” The growth had knock on effects at the firm’s Goodwood, Sussex facility and during the year, 250 new jobs were created there – taking the firm’s total employees to 2,500, “representing over 50 nationalities.”The Phantom Series III is the latest incarnation designed for “luxury limousine lovers.” For a time, the Phantom was the single model a firm that built just one vehicle per day produced, but now, this self-declared ‘House of Luxury’ has expanded both its range and markets.Bentley’s base price model, the Bentayga, is some £71,000 cheap than the base price model Rolls-Royce. Of this “luxury SUV,” the firm declares: “It remains our number one selling model, selling more in its sixth year of sales than ever before, accounting for 42 per cent of total sales and establishing itself as the most successful luxury SUV in the world.”The Flying Spur accounted for 28% of the firm’s total sales in 2023. Of sales of this model, 30% were as hybrids and in the UK, 65% were hybrids.The Continental GTC convertible is the perfect vehicle for touring the South of France. It and the GT coupé accounted for nearly 30% of sales during 2022 and of it the firm declared: “They have consistent appeal.”
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.
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.”
‘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.

Pictured Top – Even after being told he was deported from the Bahamas to America, Bankman-Fried got to live-it-up in luxury on a plane back to face justice. Krug anyone?
‘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.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.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.
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?

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.
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. 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.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.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.’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 (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, 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, 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.”
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.
“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? 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.He’s definitely moved on… Scott Borgerson clearly doesn’t miss his old ‘missus’ Ghislaine.

He said: ‘I want my Prince Andrew shot.’ I told him to bugger off.”
Clearly making a stramash out of the fact that there’s still plenty of Epstein cash floating around, two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District for the Southern District of New York on Thursday allege the financial institutions knowingly benefitted from “assisting, supporting, facilitating, and otherwise providing the most critical service for the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking organisation to successfully rape, sexually assault, and coercively sex traffic” the women in spite of their having knowledge about Epstein’s nefarious activities.
Going further the anonymous plaintiffs allege that both firms were happy to “earn millions of dollars” facilitating a since croaked and already convicted paedophile criminal and “chose profit over following the law.” Here were institutions, the alleged victims stated, ignored “red flags” and of them, Bradley Edwards, a lawyer in one of the cases, stated: “The time has come for the real enablers to be held responsible, especially his wealthy friends and the financial institutions that played an integral role. These victims were wronged, by many, not just Epstein. He did not act alone.”
They add that Epstein would have been unable to keep his sex trafficking operation going without “the assistance and complicity” of banking institutions and that the involvement of Deutsche and JP Morgan gave “the appearance of legitimacy.”
In another part of the filing, featured in the DailyMail.com, it was further observed that the two firms “knew that Epstein would use means of force, threats of force, fraud, abuse of legal process, exploitation of power disparity, and a variety of other forms of coercion to cause young women and girls to engage in commercial sex acts” and “also engaged in repeated acts of racketeering activity to support the Epstein organisation.”
Tellingly, the online title also shared: “[Deutsche] was fined $150 million by state regulators in 2020 for failings which included not intervening as Epstein paid women’s tuition and gave suspicious payments to Russian models and women with Eastern European names. The [firm] had a responsibility to monitor his accounts because he was a registered sex offender.”
Whilst Deutsche told The Hill that “this claim lacks merit” and JPMorgan “declined to comment,” one is left asking why these two women haven’t also gone after another key player in this matter, Barclays, and its quite rightly now disgraced Epstein ‘bestie’ former CEO, Jes Staley.

Disgraced Boston, Massachusetts born “casino banker” Jes Staley pictured living it up with his wild-eyed wife Debbie Nitzan Staley. The pair visited Little St James, the island owned by Jeffrey Epstein, just months before Mr Staley took up his role at Barclays in 2015 in spite of the now croaked paedophile’s 2008 conviction for sexual offences against minors. In 2020, shamelessly attempting to justify his position, the banker declared: “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.”The now left-out-in-the-cold American financier was listed in the infamous ‘Little Black Book’ sometimes wrongly accredited to being Jeffrey Epstein’s – but mostly that features the addresses of contacts of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter – and had six contact numbers as well as an email there. He was clearly a very close associate of the dodgy duo, whatever he now claims.Jes Staley, at the time a senior JP Morgan executive (left), with former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers and Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 at the latter’s Lenox Hill, New York mansion.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. 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 this year 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.
