With Mates Like Mandy… More Meetings Between Ponzi Scheming Paedo Jeffrey Epstein & ‘Prince Of Darkness’ Peter Mandelson Revealed

As new evidence of meetings between Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein after the latter got out of the clink emerges, one is left asking: “What continued to attract ‘Mandy’ to a known billionaire sex offender?”

In January 2022, The Steeple Times pointed out: “The key ‘classic question’ Lord Mandelson now needs to answer is a paraphrasing of that put to decidedly dippy Debbie McGee by the late Caroline Ahern (in her role as the bonkers but brilliant ‘Mrs Merton’) in 1997: ‘What, first, Peter, was it that attracted you to the multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein?’”

This morning – pouring petrol all over the fire of speculation about the most curious links between the very well connected and openly gay Labour peer and the sexually perverted Ponzi scheming paedophile – The Mail on Sunday’s Daniel Bates shared an “exclusive” in which he revealed that aside from the previously the known meetings and telephone calls between the pair from 2005 to 2009, it is now suggested that an additional four meetings were “scheduled” for them between 2010 and 2013.

“Organised” after a time when Epstein had been in the pokey for having sex with underage girls, the ex-Labour cabinet minister, it has also been observed from diary entries, even stayed in the Lenox Hill, New York ‘Paedo Palace’ that belonged to the ‘bestie’ of Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Of this, Bates observed:

“The disgraced billionaire was jailed for 13 months in June 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution as part of a sweetheart plea deal.”

“After leaving jail, Epstein had to register as a sex offender and was subject to a 12-month house arrest, which expired in July 2010. Despite this Lord Mandelson, a former EU commissioner for trade, appears to have met Epstein several times.”

“Lord Mandelson declined to confirm if the meetings had taken place – but other figures who appear on the documents have said their get-togethers did go ahead.”

“At the time, the peer was out of public office but being tipped to lead the IMF or the World Trade Organization.”

“The first two meetings were listed for Epstein’s New York townhouse on March 1 and March 3, 2010, when he was still under house arrest.”

“The March 1 entry says Lord Mandelson was due at 7.30pm while Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, referred to as ‘Peter’s friend,’ was due to arrive at 1pm.”

“Mr Wegg-Prosser was Lord Mandelson’s assistant and was previously Tony Blair’s director of strategic communications. He now works at Global Counsel, Lord Mandelson’s consulting company, as a managing director.”

“An entry for May 28 2012 said: ‘** Peter Mandelson to arrive in the evening from Shelter Island WILL HE STAY AT HOUSE?**’”

“Shelter Island is an island in The Hamptons, the millionaires’ playground east of New York.”

The entry for Wednesday, May 30 reads: ‘** Peter Mandelson possibly leaves today if meetings organised for Boston, otherwise depart Thurs for DC **’”

“The final entry is for April 4, 2014 and is a dinner with Mandelson, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, investor Mort Zuckerman and Jes Staley, the former head of JP Morgan, who has been accused of abusing Epstein’s victims.”

“Previous reports have shown photos of Lord Mandelson on Epstein’s island in 2005 and at his birthday in 2006, but the diaries are the first suggestions of meetings after his prison sentence.”

Mr Wegg-Prosser confirmed his meeting with Epstein did take place. He said: ‘I had the misfortune to meet Epstein on one occasion. It was a short meeting of no consequence and thankfully was never to be repeated.’”

Was it right for Labour politician Peter Mandelson to continue meeting & staying with Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein after the paedo got out of prison in 2009? New evidence: https://t.co/NsK7lklbDn #JeffreyEpstein #PeterMandelson #KeirStarmer #Labour #JesStaley #GhislaineMaxwell
— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) June 4, 2023

Today on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Was it right for Labour politician Peter Mandelson to continue meeting & staying with Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein after the paedo got out of prison in 2009?” By 1pm on Sunday 4^th June 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; very odd; dodgy.”

Lord Mandelson – at the time the European Union Trade Commissioner – holidayed with Epstein just months before the latter’s arrest in the Caribbean. The two “middle-aged holidaymakers” were photographed on 27th December 2005 in a fashion boutique where the former was snapped trying on a white belt whilst wearing a £21,000 ($28,500, €25,200 or درهم104,800) Patek Phillipe watch – which the ‘Daily Mail’ pointedly noted to be worth “almost two months of his post-tax income.” Opposite him, his clear ‘mate’ Epstein is captured giggling.

Peter Mandelson was quite happy to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein, a mutual mate of the since disgraced JP Morgan Chase & Co. banker 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. Whilst Lord Mandelson may or may not have seen newspaper reports about the arrest of his ‘chum’ just months earlier in August 2006, one is left questioning the standard of his judgment in hanging around with this subsequently convicted nonce. Pictured in a hoodie in his dining room blowing out candles on a cake presented by a diminutive butler named Valdson Viera Cortin is supposedly tee-total Epstein whilst ‘Mandy’ – whom features in the now infamous ‘black book’ we believe belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell with 10 phone numbers attributed – gawped rather over-enthusiastically, a glass of red wine in front of him. The pair appeared in the image perfectly at ease together, in spite of the fact that various newspapers had already reported on the horrific allegations against the Brooklyn born taxi driver turned teacher turned financier.

As we’ve said of entries in the address book often misattributed to Jeffrey Epstein, which we instead believe is primarily the contacts of mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell, The Right Honourable The Lord Mandelson PC is someone closer to this deviant duo than most. With TEN phone numbers for him and his partner since 1998, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, this is someone who they clearly had regular contact with.

Whilst Peter Mandelson has been openly gay for many years and in a known relationship with a Brazilian, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, since 1998, it is lesser known whether Jeffrey Epstein liked ‘underage boys’ as well as ‘underage girls.’ Aside from allegations about an alleged ‘special relationship’ with his alleged benefactor, the aged Victoria’s Secret billionaire tycoon Leslie Wexner, it has been suggested the Ponzi scheming paedophile Epstein liked taking ‘little boys’ to his ‘Paedo Islands’ in the Caribbean as much as he enjoyed taking ‘little girls’ there for his own gruesome gratification. These images by an Instagram ‘artist’ going by the name @AIArtistKing have been proven fake, but rumours about what the former taxi driver turned teacher turned ‘billionaire’ did sexually with males continue to do the rounds.

Oxford educated Peter Mandelson (St Catherine’s College, 1973 to 1976, pictured with Matthew Freud) and Oxford educated Ghislaine Maxwell (Balliol College, graduated 1985, pictured with Rupert Murdoch) are connected in multiple ways. Of the pension pot plundering ‘Bouncing Czech’ that was Robert Maxwell, the Labour peer once remarked: “It was very strange because you’d simultaneously want to be at Maxwell’s parties and at the same time shrink away from him. Because he was such a bully and so unpredictable. To be honest, I was frightened of his company. He had that ability to make you feel completely small and inadequate, and that just scrambled my head.”

Seven Questions Lord Mandelson Ought To Answer…

In January 2009, Peter Mandelson called Jeffrey Epstein in the Palm Beach Stockade (jail) that Mr. Epstein had inhabited after pleading guilty to procuring a minor for sexual abuse. This phone conversation was reported by UK national broadcaster Channel 4 on the Dispatches programme aired in October 2019.

During the phone call, Mandelson sought Epstein’s assistance to set up a meeting with Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The sex offender referred to Mandelson by a nickname (‘Petie’) during the conversation.

“I must say I was astonished that a British cabinet minister at that time, probably the most powerful man other than the Prime Minister, was calling Jeffrey in jail to make an appointment, to seek an appointment with a very powerful banker in New York,” a whistle-blower subsequently told Dispatches.

Accompanying an iPetition – which has been signed by nearly 2,800 people since it was posted in December 2021 – someone named Petra Malkovich asked seven questions. They were:

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson called a convicted child abuser in jail?

In 2012, Peter Mandelson declared in a statement posted on the website of the TerraMar Project, an ostensible charity set up by Ghislaine Maxwell with financial support from Jeffrey Epstein, that he was “supporting” Ms. Maxwell’s organisation. U.S. law enforcement contend that the TerraMar Project was a fake charity slush fund for victims of Maxwell-and-Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson publicly supported Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged ‘fake charity slush fund’ for victims of sex trafficking?

On December 27^th 2005, Peter Mandelson took part in a shopping trip with Jeffrey Epstein in Saint Barthélemys (photos published by the Daily Mail on August 30^th 2019).

Peter Mandelson by this time had “known [Jeffrey Epstein] for several years, having previously once visited his Caribbean island for a holiday – when neither Epstein nor any of the girls were there,” the Daily Mail reported. Mandelson’s partner was also present for the earlier visit, according to eyewitness Cathy Alexander.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised in person and discussed business in person with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions [refer also to the events below]?

On a date falling after August 2006 and before June 30^th 2008, Lord Mandelson paid a social visit to Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s mansion in Paris [see the photo above].

At some point during this rendezvous in Paris of unknown duration, Mandelson and Epstein celebrated a birthday together – seemingly Epstein’s (Epstein was born on January 20^th, which could point to the photo having been taken in either January 2007 or January 2008).

Epstein and Mandelson were joined for this birthday celebration by an as-yet-unnamed individual described in the press as an Epstein “staff member.”

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised with Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s Paris residence after Epstein had already been charged with a sex crime (procuring a woman for prostitution)?

In March 2011, Virginia Roberts (now Virginia Giuffre) told the Mail on Sunday that Peter Mandelson had visited Jeffrey Epstein at his New York townhouse near Central Park, attending a dinner party with the sex trafficker. “I assumed they were in business together,” she recalled.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised and/or discussed business with Jeffrey Epstein in the same building from which Mr Epstein was operating his sex trafficking, paedophilia and blackmail operation with Ghislaine Maxwell, with minors routinely sexually assaulted on the premises by Mr Epstein?

In January 2001, Peter Mandelson joined his friend Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic theatre in London, becoming an Associate Director in or before this date (Daily Telegraph, January 5 2001). Spacey had joined the board of the Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000 just a few weeks earlier, in November 2000.

In 2002, Ghislaine Maxwell, another of Mr. Spacey’s close friends, accompanied the Hollywood star on a private tour of Buckingham Palace led by Prince Andrew. Mr. Spacey was using his tenure at the Old Vic to serially sexually assault young actors – at least 20 – with most of the allegations relating to the period up to 2009.

How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was so closely involved with Kevin Spacey and the Old Vic during the period of widespread sexual abuse concerned, yet encountered no reports of these recurring serious sexual abuse episodes involving his friend and colleague?

In or before 2013, Peter Mandelson was brought on to the board of the Alfred Herrhausen Society of Deutsche Bank, according to a July 14 2013 report in ‘Der Spiegel’ of Germany. The report identified Anshu Jain as the executive responsible for Mandelson’s appointment. Deutsche Bank executives approved Jeffrey Epstein as a client in 2013 and then kept working with him.

“[In 2013] Deutsche Bank was aggressively expanding its U.S. wealth management business under its new co-chief executive, Anshu Jain… Deutsche Bank executives ignored repeated red flags, including suspiciously large cash withdrawals and 120 wire transfers totaling $2.65 million to women with Eastern European surnames,” the New York Times reported.

Subsequently, Mr Jain “was forced to step down from the top job at Deutsche Bank after a series of regulatory mishaps.” In 2017 Mr Jain was hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s next-door-neighbour, Howard Lutnick of Cantor Fitzgerald, whose sister, Edie Lutnick, was (in common with Mandelson) a prominent self-declared supporter of Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘TerraMar Project’ charity.

How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was closely involved at Deutsche Bank with the rogue DB executive who was financially enabling Jeffrey Epstein in the exact same period?

“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.’”

Was @jpmorgan exec 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!”? #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #PrinceAndrew #JPMorgan #crime #truecrime (Article to follow at 12 noon GMT)

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 28^th May 2023, the very, very clear majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; cares only about £££.”

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.’

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.

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.”

“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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 22^nd January 1997 and sold by her representatives on 19^th 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

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 11^th July whilst the latter grubby gifter’s ‘The Maxwell Files’ website has not even had any form of update since 18^th 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. 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.’

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 recently 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 22^nd January 1997 and sold by her representatives on 19^th 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.”

Banking On Epstein – Jeffrey Epstein Victims Sue Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan

As victims of Jeffrey Epstein sue Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan, we ask: “Why aren’t they also going after Barclays and Jes Staley also?”

Whilst yesterday grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell got to get out of her cell for a few hours to max out on a novel nosh-up consisting of a vegan turkey replacement named Tofurky®, news was breaking that Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were being sued by two unnamed women in connection to her late lover, Jeffrey Epstein, being enabled by them.

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.

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

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.

Ghislaine Maxwell – You’re Fired!

As mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s murky mate Kevin Spacey tries to get a psychologist connected to her case barred from his case, her own lawyers tell her: “You’re fired!”

When the sordid sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced on 28^th June, many hoped that would be that and that she’d fade away quietly. Frankly though, let’s get real, that was never, ever going to happen in a story so sordid and one that seems to just be rabbit hole after rabbit hole.

Supposedly now owing a sum estimated by legal experts as high as £3 million ($3.2 million, €3.4 million or درهم11.8 million) in unpaid fees to various lawyers alongside her estranged husband – who it can now be revealed she “married in or about August 2015” and not later in 2016 as has been claimed previously – croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s mucky madam mistress, her strangely secretive husband Scott Borgerson and her brother, Kevin, have now incurred the wrath of one firm of lawyers to the point that they’ve rather ironically gone all Donald Trump and declared: “You’re fired!”

With Quinatiros, Prieto, Wood & Boyer having given up on her and her cohorts after “repeated requests” for payment, Maxwell now has 60 days to find new attorneys, but, as the DailyMail.com pointed out earlier this week, “it is unclear where will find the funds to pay them.”

In documents filed in the US Virgin Islands it was also shockingly revealed that Epstein had agreed he “would always support Maxwell financially” and that Borgerson had made “suspiciously timed [property] transfers” through companies named Tidewood LLC and Granite Realty LLC.

HMF’s current lawsuit alleges: “Granite, Mr. Borgerson and other entities associated with Mr Borgerson including Tidewood LLC, acquired several high-end properties including two condominiums in Boston, an estate in Manchester, Massachusetts [‘Tidewood’], and an estate in Bradford, New Hampshire [‘Tuckedaway’].”

Meanwhile elsewhere yesterday, Law & Crime reported that actor Kevin Spacey is trying to distance himself from his former chum and clearly wouldn’t be averse to chucking her under the bus Frank Underwood style.

According to the paper’s Meghann Cuniff, lawyers for the actor “are trying to bar an expert who testified in Ghislaine Maxwell‘s criminal sex trafficking trial from testifying about the credibility of Spacey’s accuser in a civil sexual assault trial scheduled to begin next week.”

Going further of the court documents, Cuniff adds:

“A memorandum filed Monday in the Southern District of New York calls psychologist Lisa Rocchio‘s expected testimony ‘a thinly-veiled plan’ to vouch for accuser Anthony Rapp‘s credibility under the guise of expert testimony. It also calls for Rocchio to be prohibited from testifying about what motivated Rapp to publicly accuse Spacey in 2017 and from opining about Spacey’s psychological state and whether she believes he assaulted Rapp.”

Ghislaine Maxwell and Scott Borgerson – Known Assets

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

Convicted criminal and mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell is a wicked wastrel woman whose avarice and greed knows no bounds.

Her brother Kevin has variously been labelled a “slippery eel” and someone whose associations with honesty can at the very least be labelled “curious.”

Equally, the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter’s now estranged husband, Scott Borgerson, is not someone known for transparency.

Miss Maxwell’s mate Kevin Spacey (pictured left with his alleged victim Anthony Rapp, right) – an associate also of the rotten ratbag royal Prince Andrew and the known to be partial to an untruth or five Bill Clinton – awaits his own trial, but is trying to distance himself from his former chum. No surprises there…

Death By Ponzi – Jeffrey Epstein Associate Steven Hoffenberg Found Dead And Decomposing
Ponzi scheming associate of Jeffrey Epstein and chairman of Towers Financial Corporation Steven Hoffenberg found dead and decomposing; revealed first on Twitter by crusading author Kirby Sommers
- Decomposing body of Jeffrey Epstein’s Ponzi scheming cohort Steven Hoffenberg found in grotty house in Connecticut after bizarre “welfare call” to police from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Maria Farmer yesterday.
- Crusading author Kirby Sommers first to call out the news on Twitter ahead of mainstream media.
- After serving 18 years for theft from 200,000 investors, grifter Hoffenberg ludicrously dared suggest he was a victim of Epstein himself and even sought out a new career in the media.
- Hoffenberg claimed to have been introduced to Epstein by a mysterious British “arms dealer” with links to Adnan Khashoggi and the Saudi royal family and briefly owned the ‘New York Post’ in 1993.
- This deviant criminal grifter’s American connections numbered Clintons, Kennedys and Trumps.
Not one of the four most infamous Ponzi schemers in history – Bernie Madoff, Jeffrey Epstein, the eponymous Charles Ponzi and Steven Hoffenberg – died either respected or renowned. In fact, all four will simply be noted in history as grubby grifters who caused mayhem and misery for all they encountered.

On Twitter, yesterday, prior to it being picked up in the mainstream media, crusading author of Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography Kirby Sommers revealed that the latest of this number to be found dead was Steven Hoffenberg – a conman credited by some as being the individual who helped Jeffrey Epstein on his path from taxi driver to trader from 1987 onwards.

In the years that followed, Hoffenberg went on to become a man who ultimately came to blame his protégé for his own imprisonment for twenty years in 1997 for his £404 million ($475 million, €479 million or درهم1.7 billion) Towers Financial Corporation fraud – which became known as the largest Ponzi scheme in history until Bernie Madoff was exposed in 2008.

Brooklyn born, originally Jewish and later rather predictably a born-again Christian, Hoffenberg – whose exact date of birth remains unknown and whose first suspected brush with the law, which he always claimed to be a case of mistaken identity, was connected to the theft of a £12,800 ($15,000, €15,100 or درهم55,100) diamond ring in 1971 – made his first fortune buying debt in the 1970s. He is said to have been introduced to Jeffrey Epstein through the British “arms dealer” and intelligence asset Douglas Leese (1927 – 2011) in 1987 – a man said to be the former’s “mentor” since they had first met in London in 1981. Leese’s son, Julian, however, span the tale of the introduction slightly differently when he spoke on the Defiance podcast and claimed it was he, himself, who did the introducing and not anything like that that Hoffenberg repeatedly purported in his many media interviews.

At that time, whilst Leese was not only fraternising with the likes of Adnan Khashoggi and Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud doing billion dollar arms deals, he also is said to have recommended Epstein to Hoffenberg by tellingly, given what was to come in future years, supposedly shared: “The guy’s a genius, he’s great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass.”

With Epstein brought into his orbit as first an employee – though remarkably never his patsy – Hoffenberg embarked on a series of corporate raids that included failed bids for Pan Am and the Emery Air Freight Corp and finally very briefly in 1994, ownership of the New York Post.

This period was key to Hoffenberg’s downfall and of such, Sommers shared with The Steeple Times what she termed “a fabulous article that I’ve kept under wraps for a few years now” from an April 1993 edition of The New York Times in a direct message.

The feature, by a journalist named Diana B. Henriques, revealed that Hoffenberg was scuppered in a similar fashion to Madoff – whose failure to repay the small investment of the cleaner of the feeder fund honcho Frank Avellino’s resulted in her going to the FBI and the beginning of his end – by a small-time amateur newsman and “self-taught muckraker” from Rushton, Louisiana named John Hays.

“Hard-drinking, chain-smoking, cowboy-booted… blunt back-country publisher who [loved] to raise a ruckus” Hays had long claimed Hoffenberg was trying to pull a Ponzi-like scam in his neck of the woods, but had been met with mockery, resistance and disinterest. His hunch, however, paid off when “whatever money could buy” private jet possessing Hoffenberg’s decision to buy the New York Post threw him before nationwide limelight and scrutiny that ultimately resulted in the crook’s conviction on five counts of securities fraud, tax evasion and obstruction of a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry.

After getting out of jail after serving 18 years for a con that resulted in 200,000 investors losing vast amounts of money, “still deviant to his core” Hoffenberg conveniently found God and illustrated his continuing ability to cross political and social divides by marrying outside Trump Tower in 2014. That the body of this one-time associate of others linked to Bill Clinton was found alone and left decomposing in a grotty flat in Derby, Connecticut after a welfare call from Jeffrey Epstein accuser Maria Farmer also speaks volumes as how the once mighty can well and truly fall.

As Kirby Sommers rightly concluded of someone with the same moral compass as Bernard L. Madoff and Charles Ponzi himself: “To be frank, I didn’t trust him. He lied throughout his life… Throughout the last couple of years, he spoke of the money left in Epstein’s estate as ‘belonging to him.’ [He] claimed the money that disappeared in Towers Financial was stolen by Jeffrey Epstein. And, his goal was to get a piece of the money Epstein left behind.”

Steven Hoffenberg most certainly failed in that goal and like Charles Ponzi probably died delusionally believing: “Even if they never got anything for it, it was cheap at that price. Without malice aforethought, I had given them the best show that was ever staged in their territory since the landing of the Pilgrims! It was easily worth fifteen million bucks to watch me put the thing over.”

The ‘Curious’ Deaths Connected To Jeffrey Epstein That Continue To Stack Up…

People who’ve moved in the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein do have a habit of coming to ‘sticky ends’ – amongst them:
- Pension pot plundering tea leaf Robert Maxwell (death by ‘falling off the back of a boat’ in the Canary Islands, Spain on 5^th November 1991).
- Palm Beach based Ponzi schemer and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein (death by ‘suicide’ in prison in New York, USA on 10^th August 2019).
- Palm Beach based Ponzi scheming crook Bernard L. Madoff (death as a result of chronic kidney disease on 14^th April 2021 in Butner, North Carolina).
- Palm Beach based Marvin Weiner and his wife Sondra, the sister of Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff (death by murder-suicide in Boynton Beach, USA on 17^th February 2022).
- Molester model agent and alleged paedophile Jean-Luc Brunel (death by ‘suicide’ in prison in Paris, France on 19^th February 2022).
- Convicted Ponzi scheming Donald Trump associate and self-publicist Steven J. Hoffenberg (death by causes yet unknown on date yet unknown in Derby, Connecticut, USA, decomposing body found on 24^th August 2022).
Derby Police Department announced the news on their Facebook page on Thursday. They posted: “On Tuesday, August 23 at approximately 8 PM Derby police officers responded to 201 Mount Pleasant Street in Derby, CT on a requested welfare check. Upon arrival the body of a white male was found deceased and in a state where a visual identification could not be made. The body was transported to the office of the chief medical examiner (OCME) where an autopsy was performed on Wednesday, August 24. The initial autopsy revealed no trauma sustained by the decedent. Official cause of death is pending further toxicology study. A subsequent dental record comparison is underway to make a positive identification and subsequent notifications to appropriate next of kin. This page will be updated once OCME confirms the identity. Thank you for your patience.” Responding, Facebook users commented: “It’s a multi-family property so the neighbours probably couldn’t put up with the smell any longer” and “well, well, well… Another Epstein fan gone. Ciao!”

Bidding for the ‘New York Post’ was undoubtedly a stupid move on the part of the Towers Financial Coporation chief as the public attention it brought left him open to the scrutiny of his other very dodgy affairs.

The Hoffenberg’s gathered their small wedding party outside Trump Tower on 10th July 2014 (left to right: Associate publisher of ‘Post Publishing’ Flo Anthony, Steven Hoffenberg and his new wife ‘Post All Star News’ president Maria Santiago, best man Steven Jude, pastor Copper Cunningham and a video photographer. The ‘happy couple’ had met only one month earlier, but where Mrs Hoffenberg was at the time of her now late husband’s death – or whether they were still in contact even – remains unknown.

Epstein’s associate Hoffenberg joined Twitter in February 2014 and declared that he was making himself available for interviews to his 3,278 followers. He bragged to have known the since croaked paedophile for 9 years also.

Of Steven Hoffenberg claiming to have been introduced to Jeffrey Epstein to Douglas Leese, the latter’s son responded: “Hoffenberg seems to be very confused. What happened was this: The year was 1988. By 1988, my father had had no communication with Jeffrey for a number of years. Jeffrey did call me up. I was a very young man at the time and he asked whether I would be interested in having an internship with Towers Financial and I agreed to do it, so it was, in fact, me and I want to reiterate this: It was me who introduced Steven Hoffenberg to my father and not to Jeffrey.”

Virtually nothing appears about “incredibly well connected” yet “understated” Douglas Leese (born in 1927 in Elstow, Bedfordshire to an “affluent” tractor cam gear manufacturer) on the Internet. He has, however, been described by Hoffenberg as “Epstein’s mentor,” owned a large manor house in Wiltshire and was referenced in the House of Commons on 24th January 1996 by George Galloway MP (pictured above) as “a British businessman” with “close connections with an offshore bank, the Bank of NT Butterfield in Bermuda.” On the very same day, Galloway mentioned also “bribes and commissions” relating to the Al-Yamamah deal, British Aerospace, Astra, Orbit Communications, Thorn EMI, Vickers, Vosper Thorneycroft, Sikorsky, Saudi Arabia and “middlemen” and decision makers including Prince Sultan, Prince Mohammed, Colonel Thomas Dooley, Fahd al-Athel, King Fahd, Wafic Said, Jonathan Aitken, Michael Gay, Sir Colin Chandler and Mark Thatcher amongst others. “Something of an enigma” Mr Leese at one time had a flat in The Dorchester Hotel and reportedly had “fingers in many pies” but those that describe him as ‘Sir Douglas Leese’ are actually incorrect – though he did win two Queen’s Awards for Industry in the 1970s and 1980s.

As part of a podcast series titled ‘Defiance’ that was released on Apple Podcasts on 12th October 2020, Tom Pattinson interviewed “international ‘Mr Fixit’” Douglas Leese’s son, Julian, for 3 hours. Reviewing it, Epsteinsblackbook.com remarked: “This is interesting indeed, as he tells of his friendship from the time young Jeffrey Epstein (pictured above with Lord Mandelson) visited his family outside London to learn about the British upper-class life. Julian taught Jeffrey how to shoot a hunting rifle, and Epstein taught young Julian about maths, and probably how to pick up girls. Douglas Leese taught Epstein about how to live like an aristocrat, and possibly about shady dealings with corrupt regimes. Leese describes Epstein as very charming, very bright, very ambitious, and very interested in sex. He does not excuse any of Epstein’s acts, but claims to be completely unknowing of any illegalities from either Epstein, himself, or his father Douglas Leese. He further describes Epstein as a tragic character in his later years, after he got arrested in 2008, and that his suicide was not surprising. Julian Leese says the reason he did the interview was to clear the Leese name from what he called nonsense Internet discussions and slander from a confused Hoffenberg. Julian, like anybody else in this story, in all likelihood has an agenda of his own. In addition to interesting stories from one of Epstein’s oldest friends, his statements do possibly provide some more background into Epstein’s dealings with Hoffenberg and Towers Financial. As well as an almost chilling remark saying something about Ghislaine making the otherwise self-assured Epstein unusually meek. After being taken into the warmth by the Leese family, Epstein did ruin his relationship with Douglas Leese by going on a spending spree with his expense account. Flying on Concorde Jets and booking 5-star hotels was what Epstein did with other people’s money before he got hold on his own. This behaviour seems to be a pattern for Epstein. Befriending powerful people before ruining their relationship and moving on. This does strengthen the theory that Epstein was completely amoral, saw relationships as merely transactional, and was extremely charming.”

Of Epstein – who fell out with his father over expenses that the British businessman thought were “not quite right” in 1984 to 1985 – Julian Leese – who himself last met with the since croaked paedophile in New York in 2013 but communicated with him up until days before his 10th August 2019 death – observed: “Given the personality that he was, I think he wanted to try and get as many contacts as possible. I certainly believe that he gave my father some advice, but I think that he was doing that for a lot of people too… He was very keen on the stock market, financial transactions. I think my father took some of his advice, but as I said to you before, I absolutely believe that it was mutual. Jeffrey was trying to get as many connections as possible and to learn as much as possible about the world from my father, who throughout his career travelled extensively and had many connections internationally… I have never, ever heard my father talking about introducing Jeffrey to [Adnan] Khashoggi (pictured). Indeed, during my conversations with Jeffrey, I’ve never heard him talk about Khashoggi and actually, even though it’s many, many years ago, I just don’t think the datelines, erm, I think my father actually met Khashoggi after he fell out with Jeffrey, so I really don’t understand the connections that people are making.” Going further Julian Leese added: “There are always many, many rumours about Jeffrey. Jeffrey, as I told you before, loved to be mysterious, I did hear him talking about being a bounty hunter. I have to say we all took it with a pinch of salt… Because of Jeffrey’s mysterious [ways], today, if he were alive, he’d be rather pleased that there are so many press reports with these sorts of aspersions, but do I believe it, no.”

Towers Financial Corporation paid for a lavish lifestyle for Hoffenberg that included a Long Island mansion as well as homes in Sutton Place, Manhattan and Florida. He had numerous chauffeur driven cars, two private planes, a yacht and a Fifth Avenue office. His board included a “bipartisan entourage” according to ‘The New York Times’ that included “Ben Barnes, a business ally of former Texas Gov. John Connally, and Thomas B. Evans Jr., a former co-chairman of the Republican National Committee. In Louisiana, regulators got calls on his behalf from attorney Victoria Reggie, daughter of a powerful state judge and future wife of Senator Edward M. Kennedy (pictured). A legal wrangle in California was handled by Mickey Kantor, now President Clinton’s trade representative.”

As ‘The Steeple Times’ pointed out earlier this week, the Metropolitan Police’s failure to proceed with their investigations into the activities of Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1990s in London is telling, but so also is that they shuttered an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s London activities more recently. Why is this and what on earth could the since croaked paedophile have been upto on his visits to the capital to see to the Leese family in the 1980s and Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey, Jes Staley (pictured) and others in the years beyond? The plot, as it always does with this sordid story, thickens, but one thing is for sure: The British authorities have certainly engaged in some kind of cover-up in order to protect the powerful and the privileged from the fall-out of the death of Jeffrey Epstein and the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Barclays Bonus Banished – Jes Staley Down On The Wonga

Barclays puts a stop to £22 million of bonus payments to ex-CEO and Jeffrey Epstein associate Jes Staley as investigation continues; meanwhile frozen-out Barclays customer Ghislaine Maxwell’s mum’s former Belgravia home faces the wrecking ball

Shamed American “casino banker” Jes Staley’s latest spin on the roulette wheel, it seems, hasn’t paid off (yet) with news that £22 million ($29.5 million, €26.2 million or درهم108.4 million) he was expecting from Barclays has been frozen until the regulatory investigation into his connections with the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein is concluded.

With the bank declaring it had “exercised its discretion” to suspend share payouts related to his deferred bonus and long-term incentive plan “pending further developments in respect of the regulatory and legal proceedings related to the ongoing FCA and [Prudential Regulation Authority] investigation regarding Mr Staley,” the Boston born fat cat will now no doubt be regretting his decision to communicate with Epstein using codewords still to be deciphered including “snow white.”

Staley – who reportedly last met with Epstein along with his wife Debbie when they sailed to ‘Paedo Island’ Little St James in 2015 and whom also visited the sex mad monster whilst he was serving a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2009 – continues to claim his innocence and is continuing with his plans to challenge the investigation’s findings.

Meanwhile, in other news, it’s finally D-day for the former Belgravia home of mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s late mother, Dr Elisabeth Maxwell-Meynard (AKA ‘Betty Maxwell’). Dr Maxwell – whose daughter had her Barclays account frozen a day after £130,000 ($174,000, €155,000 or درهم640,000) was deposited in it by the buyer of her Kinnerton Street mews house in February 2021 – lived in Lockmore House, Cundy Street in the wake of her husband’s death and exposure as a crook.

Lockmore House and its neighbours – which at one-time counted the Duchess of Cornwall, Baroness Boothroyd and Patricia Routledge as residents – is being razed to the ground by the new Duke of Westminster to make way for far ritzier residences.

“I was her parents’ worst nightmare” – words said by James Staley his very self – will be ringing in the ears of 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’ this year.

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 now claims.

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.

Ghislaine Maxwell is like a rotten curate’s egg – she is a woman of multiple parts, but sadly most of them are bad, very bad in fact. On the one hand there’s the sexually deviant mucky madam who sex trafficked and abused young girls with Jeffrey Epstein and then there’s the clearly very intelligent daughter of an abusive father and a less abusive mother. That mother, Dr Elisabeth Maxwell-Meynard (or Betty to her friends), once arrogantly declared: “My name is my name and what can I do about it? I don’t give a fig what people think of me.” Try telling that to the pensioners of the company her husband plundered to the tune of £500 million.

Lochmore House, Cundy Street, Belgravia, London was Betty Maxwell’s last home in the United Kingdom. It is now being demolished by the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Estate to make way for far more luxurious residences much to the distress of existing residents turfed out. The neighbouring Stack House – also being demolished – was where the then 25-year-old Camilla Shand (now the Duchess of Cornwall) first entertained her now husband Prince Charles, at the time 23, over coffee in the early hours after a night out at Annabel’s in 1972.

Ponzi & Paedo – The links between Jeffrey Epstein, Bernie Madoff and Ghislaine Maxwell
Matthew Steeples delves into the connections between the Palm Beach Ponzi schemers Jeffrey Epstein and Bernie Madoff, the money motivated mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell and the recent supposed ‘suicides’ of their associates
- Jeffrey Epstein and Bernie Madoff participated in two of the largest Ponzi schemes in history.
- Some of the still missing £500 million stolen by Robert Maxwell likely passed through the hands of one or both of these monsters-not-men.
- Ghislaine Maxwell, her father’s favourite child, undoubtedly hooked up with Epstein at the instruction of him for reasons financial; she clearly benefitted given she was able to offer up £22 million when seeking bail in spite of having been broke in the 1990s.
- Jeffrey Epstein had known connections to the pension pot plunderer Robert Maxwell prior to his rather too convenient suicide in 1991.
- Epstein was a guest of honour at a memorial lunch for ‘The Bouncing Czech’ in New York in 1992 and sat at the top table with widow Betty Maxwell.
- Both Epstein and Madoff maintained homes in Palm Beach and “most definitely had business associations.”
- The rather too convenient suicide of the Epstein and Maxwell associate Jean-Luc Brunel in Paris comes days after the rather too convenient murder-suicide of Madoff’s sister Sondra Madoff Wiener in Palm Beach by her husband.
“Buckingham Palace isn’t half as flash as this” enthused Giles Coren of London’s ritzy The Lanesborough hotel in the final episode of his and Monica Galetti’s BBC series Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby last night.

Continuing of a hotel “not so known as The Dorchester or The Ritz” and “extra discreet” when it comes to protecting the privacy of its very, very, very wealthy and often very, very, very secretive guests, Coren and Galetti waxed lyrical about a rather large guest book.

That book featured not only Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, but also entries from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Madonna and Stevie Wonder – the latter played the piano in the bar in December 1994. They rather conveniently forgot to bring up, however, two of the property’s more notorious and now deceased Barry Big Bollocks bigspenders, the late convicted criminal Ponzi schemer paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the late Ponzi schemer ex-NASDAQ chairman Bernard L. Madoff.

Originally St George’s Hospital and subsequently converted into a 93-room – 47 of which are suites – hotel in 1991, The Lanesborough, Coren pointed out, was decorated “with no expense spared” by Alberto Pinto. Mr Pinto happened to also be the decorator of Jeffrey Epstein’s homes in New York, New Mexico and Paris and thus one can see why that the creepy taxi driver turned sex trafficker likely felt that The Lanesborough was his favoured “home-away-from-home” when in London.

With his non-sweating bestie Prince Andrew effectively a “neighbour” – if traversing the 39 of acres of ‘Buck House’s’ gardens was ever on his agenda – and Ghislaine Maxwell’s Kinnerton Street mews house just a block’s walk away, one could see why the location suited Epstein a treat. The now notorious leaked ‘Little Black Book’ credited as belonging to the since croaked paedophile, but actually mostly containing the connections of the now convicted mucky madam contains three numbers for the hotel and its then manager – one of which tellingly is listed as “private.”

Whilst staff at the palatial property that is The Lanesborough have not openly declared anything of Jeffrey Epstein’s preferences – the hotel keeps notes on all its guests and even has motion sensors in every room to help them predict their wants and needs – in January 2009, Insider reported on what the notoriously demanding Madoff liked to have when visiting.

Of him, after his arrest, his London office manager, Julia Fenwick, claimed “two of his vices are cigars and pork sausages, even though he is Jewish, he loves pork sausages” and told Insider: “There is still a trunk full of his clothes [at The Lanesborough]. They stored it for him and would clean and press the clothes and hang them in his suite in time for his arrival, as though he had a wardrobe there.”

Said to be a “terrible flirt” but not “really lecherous,” unlike the clearly sex crazed abuser Epstein, Madoff shared using the “F-word liberally” and being a “cheeky chappie” with his fellow New Yorker. Beyond that, there is much, much more that connects this pair of once uber wealthy men of money, mayhem and mystery.

Equally secretive in their business dealings and both known for having obsessive compulsive disorder tendencies about how their homes were run, both monsters-not-men maintained residences in Palm Beach, Florida and of them an investor formerly connected to Madoff just yesterday told us: “They most definitely frequented the same establishments and they most definitely had business associations.”

Like the world’s most infamous Ponzi schemer Madoff, Epstein, of course, was involved in another of “the largest Ponzi schemes in history,” that that occurred at the bill collection agency founded by Steven J. Hoffenberg, Towers Financial. Though he wasn’t himself jailed at the time, Epstein clearly benefited substantially from being participant in that particular nefarious scheme.

Now, with news of Bernard L. Madoff’s sister Sondra Wiener being killed on Thursday 17^th February by her husband Marvin in a supposed murder-suicide in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County just days before Epstein’s grubby supplier of 12-year-old twins for his sexual gratification Jean-Luc Brunel’s suicide in a Paris jail on Saturday 19^th February, the plot undoubtedly thickens.

With suicide by hanging being a seeming connector in terms of it allegedly – though questioned by some – being Epstein’s choice of death and that also the choice of one of Madoff’s sons – though once again that has been questioned by some – here are two now dead deviant men who are known to have pandered to the desires of equally demanding money motivated women, Ghislaine Maxwell and Ruth Madoff (née Alpern).

The timing of the latest ‘suicides’ are undoubtedly curious and given that in the wake of Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction in December, the judge in her trial was appointed to a higher court by President Biden as America seeks to protect America by protecting other associates of Epstein and Maxwell including Presidents Clinton and Trump, there is a certain stench of a bit of final “cleaning up” apparent.

With Prince Andrew having supposedly paid upto £12 million to a sex trafficked woman he supposedly never met, Jean-Luc Brunel dead and Jes Staley removed as CEO of Barclays – which curiously also turfed Maxwell out as a client – this “stain” that has for too long now upset royals, politicians and financiers is being put out to pasture.

Equally, with Bernie Madoff dead of “natural causes” and conveniently cremated in April last and his sister and children passed also, the embarrassment caused by the Wizard of Lies having duped the wallies of Wall Street will soon be a chapter closed if the powers that be get their way.

Today, it is time to remind these people that that will not be the case. In this, the Internet age, there are still people out there searching and as I have previously urged in these matters it always a case of one thing: “Follow the bloody money.”

Convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell pictured on the ‘Lolita Express’ living it up with her associates Jean-Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein. Now, with both alleged and awaiting trial sex offender Brunel and convicted and deceased whilst awaiting a second trial Epstein having supposedly both committed suicide whilst in jail, many are questioning how such could have been allowed to come about and whether such events were really actually even suicides.

On Monday, crusading author of ‘Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography’ shared her thoughts about how she believes Bernie Madoff was linked to Jean-Luc Brunel, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Of such people, she observed: “All connected. Now Bernie Madoff’s sister, Sondra and her husband, are dead.

Sondra Madoff Wiener and her husband Marvin Wiener’s ‘murder-suicide’ at this time seems a little oddly timed given though they lost their fortune when her brother’s scam came crashing down in 2008. This couple lived for 14 years with the shame and loss of their Palm Beach mansion, so the question must be in the wake of the death of Bernie Madoff in 2021 and the suicides of Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel: “Why now?”
