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

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

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

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

The paper’s Jamie Phillips surmised:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The mansion – known as the ‘Paedo Palace’ and situated at 9 East 71st Street, Lenox Hill, New York, NY 10021, USA – was sold for about £36 million in March 2021 after being placed for sale for £69 million in September 2020. 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.

No Excuses Dick – Shame On Those Trying To Suggest Dame Cressida Dick As Little Miss Innocent
Ghislaine Maxwell’s schoolmate Dame Cressida Dick’s bleating about her deserved demise should be called out as the disgrace that it truly is; with her turfed out with the trash it is now time for institutional change at the Met Police; no excuses should be accepted

“She felt intimidated by the Mayor of London” before her resignation claimed some blithering bore of Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM on Radio 4’s ‘PM’ last night in spite of the fact that all this useless woman achieved between 2017 and 2022 as Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.

Born in 1960, just like her Oxford school and university mate Ghislaine Maxwell – both were taught by Dame Cressida’s father Marcus Dick, a senior tutor at Balliol College – the now deservedly binned former Metropolitan Police chief’s bleatings should be treated with the contempt they well and truly deserved given she presided over and did nothing about racism and misogyny.

Responding this morning on Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme Leroy Logan MBE, a founding member in 1994 and longtime chair of the Black Police Association, quite rightly slammed Dame Cressida’s tenur and added:

“[It is time for the Met Police to adopt a] culture that embraces a more positive culture of embracing whistleblowers… It is time for them to go against the ‘don’t grass on your colleagues’ culture.”

“They have been marking their own homework during the tenure of this last government… They have to acknowledge that they got things wrong.”

Whilst protocol was completely ignored during Dame Cressida’s tenure and public trust in law enforcement in London was very badly damaged as result, it is now time for better vetting of officers. It is also time that the Metropolitan Police spoke the truth to the powerful politicians who’ve had overly too much influence over it for far too long and with “bye, bye Boris” (and “good riddance” also) being sung in the streets on Monday, it is time for a new era of honesty and transparency.

Pictured top – The now deservedly disgraced former Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis with the equally disgraceful Mayor of London who so loathed her, Sadiq Khan.

The Met’s Catalogue of Failures – Shame on Them

There is unsurprisingly currently zero public confidence in the frankly incompetent Metropolitan Police and of it one Twitter user, June Sim, rightly stated in January 2022: “The Met has always been a byword amongst regional forces. We used to joke if you were rejected, they’ll take anybody. Not helped by the reputation confirmed by the Daniel Morgan report. Reputation already tarnished.”

Amongst the many failings of what ought to be the nation’s premier police force – aside from multiple allegations of racism and racial bias against its officers, its failure to deal with spiralling teenage murders and the many allegations of corruption and incompetence levelled at it – are:
- 1987 – Botched investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan.
- 1993 – Botched investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
- 1994 – Botched investigation into allegations that Ghislaine Maxwell operated a brothel in South Kensington.
- 2009 – Unlawful killing of Ian Tomlinson during his arrest by Met Police officers.
- 2005 – Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes by Met Police officers on the orders of Cressida Dick.
- 2013 – Strip searching of Dr Koshka Duff during her arrest for intervening during a Met Police stop-and-search of a black teenager.
- 2014 – Bungled investigation into allegations of historic child abuse made by Carl Beech.
- 2014 to 2015 – Failure to stop Stephen Port committing subsequent serial killings in spite of his already being linked to the death of a man outside his home.
- 2019 – Farcical mismanagement of policing of Extinction Rebellion protests leading to a bill of £37 million in policing costs.
- 2020 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.
- 2020 – Found to be 2.17 times as likely to issue fines to black people relative to the rest of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
- 2021 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the disappearance of Richard Okorogheye.
- 2021 – Met Police officer Ben Hannam found to be a member of a banned terrorist group.
- 2021 – Shocking conduct of Met Police officers after the murder of Sarah Everard by one of their own colleagues.
- 2022 – Apparent collaboration with Boris Johnson and his government to delay report into ‘Partygate.’
- 2022 – Decision of Met Police to not bother continuing their investigation into the London activities of the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Former Metropolitan Police chief Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM (pictured with two other incompetent horrors, Priti Patel and Boris Johnson) quite understandably came under fire over crises under her watch that numbered the disgraceful shooting and killing of an innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes. She was also slammed over the Met’s use of stop and search tactics, the handlings of recommendations made after the botched Operation Midland, the arrests of attendees at a candlelight vigil for murdered-by-a-serving-Met-officer Sarah Everard and complaints by the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel that she obstructed their inquiry into police corruption. Is it any surprise that by the end the public had no faith in her?

Tone Deaf Dwarf – Skinflint Billionaire Bernie Ecclestone Curiously Claims He Can’t Hear In Court

Tone deaf Putin and Prince Andrew bestie Bernie Ecclestone’s claim that he couldn’t hear in court is yet more evidence that this dwarf-like billionaire is completely off-the-scale arrogant

“I’m not ignoring you… I’m practicing selective hearing” is description used of individuals when they selectively choose to ignore anything they don’t want to actually hear. Clearly, at Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday, 91-year-old Bernie Ecclestone clearly practiced just such.

Speaking on behalf of this notorious skinflint and one of the few remaining friends of the non-sweating Duke of York during the short 5-minute hearing, Ecclestone’s barrister, Clare Montgomery QC, told chief magistrate Paul Goldspring that her client “was having problems hearing the proceedings.” He was thus allowed not to have sit in the dock. How terribly swell.

Responding on Twitter of a tone deaf, dwarf-like man his own daughters allegedly call ‘The Grinch,’ Matthew Steeples of The Steeple Times yesterday remarked:

“Bernie Ecclestone claimed he couldn’t hear when he appeared in court on a £400 million ($470 million, €474 million or درهم1.7 billion) fraud charge this morning. Strangely he hears whatever Putin and Prince Andrew have to say to him, yet he can’t hear prosecutors and a judge. Who on earth does this coffin dodger think he is?”

In spite of his ability to jet off anywhere on his private plane, Ecclestone was surprisingly granted unconditional bail by the judge before the next hearing at Southwark Crown Court on 19^th September.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, in Leeds the trial of his ex-son-in-law James Stunt and 12 other defendants, relating to an alleged £266 million ($313 million, €315 million or درهم1.1 billion) money laundering and forgery ‘scam,’ has been ongoing since April. God only knows how much that has cost the nigh-on-empty public purse.

Both Stunt and Ecclestone deny the clearly very serious charges against them, but one thing’s for clear in all of this – millions in money has brought no kind of joy to either of these individuals.

Pictured top – The court sketch of the ex-F1 head honcho was anything but flattering and gave the impression of someone haggard who hadn’t slept in decades.

Yesterday, arriving at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the 91-year-old – who curiously gave his address as being in Rutland Gate, Knightsbridge rather than Chelsea Square, Chelsea – looked like he hadn’t slept in decades or even bothered to have combed or washed his hair. The grey matter resembled, in fact, a decrepit bird’s nest.

In February 2020, ‘The Steeple Times’ reported on croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s chum (and his wife Sarah, Duchess of York’s financial sponsor) Prince Andrew having Bernie Ecclestone over to Royal Lodge, Windsor to celebrate his birthday. Whether this man “with qualities that would make Leona Helmsley look generous” brought Sloppy Giuseppes from Pizza Express (Woking branch) for the bash remains still unknown.

At the 31st birthday party hosted for Naomi Campbell by her then lover Flavio Briatore on 19th May 2001 in St Tropez, France, Bernie Ecclestone (pictured top right) got to hang out on a gin palace with not only the since convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell but also the woman Prince Andrew paid £12 million to in spite of having never met – Virginia Roberts (now known as Virginia Giuffre). The now former F1 boss and alleged fraudster featured in the infamous address book credited to Epstein but most likely was actually a contact of the mucky madam Maxwell primarily.

The 91-year-old father of four and son of a Suffolk fisherman has most recently been quite rightly deservedly slammed for his support for the world’s worst living leader, President Vladimir Putin. Calling such a tyrant “a good guy” and someone he’d “take a bullet for” about sums this nasty little piece of toerag up for what he is – an utter braindead berk.

In June 2019, the now nonagenarian attended a Spice Girls reunion concert at London’s Wembley stadium with his third wife, Fabiana Flosi, and ‘Ginger Spice’ Geri Halliwell’s husband, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. Though he’s enjoyed many such more outings in the years since, if his trial doesn’t go well this autumn, he might be instead find himself enjoying porridge. Diddums.

Matthew Steeples called out the businessman for his selective hearing on Twitter on Monday 22nd August.

Last week, Steeples asked who’d turn up at court to support the skinflint. Surprisingly, the majority of those that voted opted for Tony Blair – who, as Labour leader, had to return a £1 million donation from the then F1 head honcho back in 1997 after a scandal about tobacco companies sponsoring teams. In the wake, “doing a Bernie” unsurprisingly became synonymous with giving a bung of £1 million.

A-17 – Did Donald Trump Raid Involve A Document About Ghislaine Maxwell?

After Ghislaine Maxwell blamed an imaginary cellmate she named ‘A-17’ when told off in the clink, amongst documents seized from Donald Trump by the FBI is one titled ‘A-17’

In November last year, in a “world exclusive” interview with the Mail on Sunday’s Daphne Barak, the since convicted and deservedly jailed for 20 years mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell bizarrely declared:

“Strange things happen [in my prison cell]. The toilet flushes, the shower turns on when no one is nearby. When it happens, it alarms the guards so I created a ‘cellmate’ called A-17 so when something strange happens I blame it on A-17.”

“I play peek-a-boo, hiding behind pillars and the guards join in. There are always smiles all round. Then I have a ‘monster move’ where I raise my hands and growl and they do it back. We laugh.”

Though the invention of ‘A-17’ were written off as the odd antics of a delusional deviant in denial of the serious crimes she committed along with her since croaked Ponzi scheming cohort and ex-lover Jeffrey Epstein at that time, now with the FBI’s recent raid on their former friend Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida that codename has again raised its ugly head.

Featured amongst 27 boxes, 11 sets of classified documents – which included amongst other things a grant of clemency for Trump’s mate Roger Stone and information on the President of France – seized is one listed as a box that has been referenced as ‘A-17.”

Kan M. Nawady, a former Southern District of New York federal prosecutor turned “seasoned trial, investigations and criminal defence lawyer” and ABC News contributor remarked late last week:

“This is exactly the same espionage that [Edward] Snowden was charged with… What that is, that is that it means they think that there was mishandling of top-secret information that was transmitted to unauthorised persons. This is the exact same statute that Snowden was charged with.”

“[These are documents that] if they get out there, it can cause exceptionally grave damage to our national security – so it’s really important stuff, it’s sensitive stuff.”

Could the 45^th POTUS’ words of August 2020 about Maxwell be coming back to now haunt him? At the time, he remarked:

“Firstly, I don’t know that, but I do know that her friend or boyfriend Epstein was either killed or committed suicide in jail.”

“She’s now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I’d wish you well, I’d wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove that somebody was guilty. Do you know she was guilty?”

“Her boyfriend died in jail and people are still trying to figure out how did that happen. Was it suicide? Was he killed? And I do wish her well and I’m not looking at anything bad for her. I’m not looking bad for anybody.”

“And they took that and they made such a big deal and all it is is that her boyfriend died in jail. Was he killed? Was it suicide? I wish her well.”

One thing is sure and that right-minded people everywhere will continue to remind both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton that links to Maxwell and Epstein should not be left to fade away quietly. It is time that both former presidents explained at the very least why they were both so happy to spend time with and jet around the world with these two very wicked wastrels.

Receipts for property taken by the United States Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation from Mar-a-Lago, 1100 South Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach, Florida, FL 33480 on 8th August 2022 tellingly includes the codename used by Ghislaine Maxwell whilst she was in the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York awaiting trial.

Donald Trump, Robert Maxwell, cable news executive Steve Ross and CBS reporter Mike Wallace in the wheelhouse of the Lady Ghislaine yacht during a party in New York in the spring of 1989.

Donald Trump, then-girlfriend Melania Knauss, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida on 12th February 2000. Both paedophiles attended multiple events over many years at Trump’s club including one in 1992 where he celebrated being single after divorcing Ivana Trump and breaking up with Marla Maples. In addition, in 1997, Trump flew from Palm Beach to Newark with Epstein and Maxwell and attended a dinner for Prince Andrew at the taxi-driver-turned-Ponzi schemer’s New York mansion in in 1999.

Phone numbers for the late Ivana Trump and her daughter Ivanka both feature in the now infamous ‘black book’ so often wrongly credited as being Epstein’s. The majority of contacts that ‘The Steeple Times’ have corresponded with listed there claim to instead have known Maxwell primarily. Some go as far as to claim to have never even met Epstein. Curiously but likely completely unrelated, both Ivana and Ivanka’s phone numbers contain the numbers 17.

The 62,500 square foot, 126 room mansion raided was built between 1924 and 1927 by the breakfast cereal heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. It has been owned by the brash businessman turned 45th POTUS since 1985 and is the 24th largest mansion in the United States of America.

Kan Nawady appeared on ABC News show ‘NewsLive Prime’ with Linsey Davis to discuss the FBI raid and the implications of it. He emphasised the seriousness of it and compared the situation to that of the in-exile in Russia ex-National Security Agency (NSA) employer turned dissident ‘whistleblower’ Edward Snowden.

Philbrick to Phil-Nicked! Inigo Philbrick Hits The Clink

As “vain” and “greedy” Inigo Philbrick gets deservedly jailed for 7 years, we remind readers that he remains a pretentious pillock whilst his bird-brained ‘baby mama’ Victoria Baker-Harber remains a mouthy moron

Inigo Philbrick used to look the part, but yesterday The New York Times told that this condescending conman now only sports “tan jail garb.” It, frankly, rather suits this wretched wazzock.

Previously clad in £5,000 a pop suits and often in favour of sporting handmade shoes, this truly nasty piece of toerag was on Monday deservedly thrown in the clink for 84 months for conning art collectors out of over £73 million.

Known most widely for otherwise hanging around with the mouthy meddler and harbour of haranguing that is his latest ‘baby mama’ Victoria Baker-Harber – herself a bargain basement version of the ‘aristoprat’ Lady Victoria Hervey – Philbrick is lauded as a “mini Madoff” but frankly, let’s be truly honest, he was nothing but a tawdry, out of touch with reality seller of tripe.

Prone also to dining at the pretentious favourite of only the Ecclestone trashbag sisters that is C-London – where he tellingly put his bills on account whilst even the Putin apologist coffin dodger’s dodgy daughters coughed up – Philbrick will now dine on only luncheon meat slices and gruel for the next 2,555 days.

The rotten ratbag Inigo Philbrick deserves all he gets and sane people everywhere will now join with us in celebrating that he’s no longer able to perform the art of fraud on anyone else (for at least seven years).

Pictured top – Podgy pillock jailbird Inigo Philbrick with his loudmouth lover Victoria Baker-Harber in happier times.

As he was sent down, according to ‘The New York Times,’ rotten-to-his-core Philbrick pretentious to the very end: “Lowered a face mask that he was wearing, turned to face his supporters in the gallery, held a hand to his chest then blew a kiss.” The paper added: “Mr. Philbrick, wearing tan jail garb, told Judge Stein that he felt deep shame and embarrassment over his actions and that he would work the rest of his life to restore the trust he had squandered and repay the debts he owed. ‘I apologize without reservation or restraint,’ he said, calling his conduct “outrageous and inexcusable.’”

‘ARTnews’ added of the drug using fraudster: “In an emotional statement of his own read aloud to the court, Philbrick expressed ‘remorse and sorrow for the damage’ that he had caused to those around him. He said that he had been in solitary confinement when his daughter was born in 2020 and that the sentencing on Monday would help him in “closing a door on an almost-10-year-long period of my life. Referring to the internship he got at White Cube when he was in his early 20s, he said, ‘Twelve years ago, I was offered a role in the art world that came with great prestige. It also required deception.’ Later, diverging from his prewritten statement, Philbrick said, ‘The only goal I have is to make the people who believed in me whole.’”

Amongst those conned by the slimy toad was the art collector Kenny Schachter. Of him, braindead berk Baker-Harber showed no regret for her association with Philbrick – a trashbag who ferried her around in a private jet at the expense of others – in retweeting an attack on Schachter by someone named ‘Koogs’ on Twitter on 14th June 2020. They opined: “Who quotes themselves?? Get over it! Your wife is a billionaire! Are you crying about cash or cock?”

Like fellow swindler Angela Gulbenkian, here is an entitled twerp who thought he was above the law. Long may this ratbag rot.

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.

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.

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.

Nasty Noxious Nabbing Naomi Campbell

As Naomi Campbell gets called out for pulling a ‘Catherine Meyer’ at the charity she runs, we remind her that her “rum chum” choice of friends including convicted sex offenders Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein do her no favours

Naomi Campbell just cannot help herself. When she’s not nabbing blood diamonds, chucking cigarette butts or assaulting airline workers, this decidedly deranged piece of toerag, it was this morning revealed by MailOnline’s Adam Luck, spends her time pulling a ‘Catherine Meyer’ by using charity for her own benefit.

Like the now Baroness Meyer – a quite hideous harridan elevated to the peerage by her fellow footwear loving chum Theresa May in spite of having been exposed by Richard Eden in The Telegraph in May 2011 for taking “all but £9,500 of the money that [the charity she ran, PACT] received in donations” as pay and in expenses – 51-year-old Campbell, it turns out, has allowed her charity, Fashion For Relief, to spend £1.68 million of the £1.89 million it raised on glitzy parties but allocated just £205,000 to actual charitable activities.

Guffawing gadabout and notorious grabber of money from anyone who’d give him a dime Prince Andrew pictured with the ghastly guffawing ex-charity tinbanger Lady Meyer and her pompous pillock husband Sir Christopher Meyer in New York on 14th October 2001.

Lady Meyer was exposed by ‘The Telegraph’ over a number of days in May 2011 for having received “almost 70 per cent” of the funds raised by the charity she then ran, Parents & Abducted Children Together (PACT). Though she technically broke no law, the public outrage that followed was quite understandable.

Streatham born model Naomi Campbell’s charity Fashion For Relief (FFR) – charity number 1159995 – seems to have adopted a very similar approach to Lady Meyer in allocating the funds it raises.

In the past Adam Luck has called out the notoriously temperamental “drama queen” model out for the “rum chum” company she keeps. He remarked of her as she turned fifty: “No doubt Campbell plans to celebrate her half century in style, but she’d be wise to strike some old acquaintances from the guest list.”

Now listed as having a “regulatory alert” on the official Charity Commission for England and Wales website, Fashion For Relief – which curiously claims to “raise funds via events and donations to help prevent poverty, sickness and distress, to advance education and training and improvements in conditions of life” yet seems to just spend money on brash bashes – Luck revealed is “currently under investigation.”

An artist named Pierre Musa, who donated to Campbell’s ‘charity,’ told the paper he was “infuriated” by the shocking figures. He added:

“The reality is that the FFR donations are a fraction of the money raised. Instead, the money has gone on extravagant events and ‘other expenses.’”

“FFR gathers the richest, most influential personalities in the world to raise funds. I have seen the donor lists and we are talking private wealth in the dozens of billions.”

“It is difficult to see any philanthropic ambition in these numbers.”

“I have now cut all ties with Naomi’s charity and I have contacted the Charities Commission to offer to help them with their investigation.”

In response, a spokesman for Fashion For Relief arrogantly answered: “FFR is not solely a fundraising charity.” In doing so, they proved only one thing and that is that this so-called ‘charity’ – just like the then Lady Meyer’s before it – is nothing but an opportunity for a self-promoter to do yet more self-promotion. Shame on Naomi Campbell.

Ghislaine Maxwell – Follow The Missing Money

Matthew Steeples suggests prosecutors at the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell are right to follow the money; where did the £500 million her father plundered disappear to?

Earlier this week at the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, a JPMorgan Chase banker named Patrick McHugh testified that Jeffrey Epstein transferred at least £22.8 million ($30.7 million, €26.6 million or درهم110.4 million) to the alleged mucky madam between October 1999 and June 2007.

Speaking of this potentially filthy money, at a time when it was estimated at lower sum, to Time magazine in July 2020, Jordan Waxman, managing partner of New York wealth management firm Nucleus Advisors, said: “£15.2 million ($20 million, €17.7 million or درهم73.5 million) seemed a low amount for someone using offshore accounts. It was possible that was just the tip of the iceberg.”

Going further, Waxman added:

“I would venture to say 20 is probably what they found so far and that the net worth would be substantially more. The other thing is Jeffrey Epstein allegedly was worth £432-or-so million ($570 million, €505 million or درهم2.1 billion). What was she doing as his No. 2 and only with $20 million?”

“It could be an elaborate shell game – where the peanut’s underneath the shell and it keeps moving around and there are more and more shells.”

Whilst Mr McHugh was called to the stand on Monday to describe the transactions his firm conducted between the on-off couple, what prosecutors have not yet been able to unravel – aside from the fact that Epstein likely transferred funds from other sources to Miss Maxwell also – is how the deviant actually originally met and who actually introduced them.

Kirby Sommers’ tweet about the Maxwell memorial evidence.

First highlighted by crusading author of Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography Kirby Sommers, ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ dodgy daughter was pictured sitting next to evil Epstein at a memorial lunch to the pension pot plunderer on 24^th November 1991. This image is telling in that the pair clearly were connected prior to Robert Maxwell’s death as if Epstein hadn’t known the tyrant tycoon, why would he a) have been there and b) why would he have been given such a prominent place on the seating plan?

Going further of this image and suggesting the pair met “as early as 1988,” in September 2020, Broken: Seeking Justice podcaster Emily Saul remarked:

“In addition to these accounts, there’s also a photo, snapped a mere 19 days after Robert Maxwell’s death [on the 19^th November 1991], that intimately links Epstein and Ghislaine. Shot at the Plaza Hotel during a memorial event for Robert Maxwell, the picture shows Ghislaine and Epstein in conversation. Wearing a blue silk jacket, Ghislaine smiles coyly at Epstein, who is seated to her right, wearing a white bowtie and an enormous grin. It doesn’t look like a first date.”

“If this is true, then the power dynamic between them shifts significantly. Perhaps she was the boss and Epstein did her bidding. Or, at the very least, they may have been equals.”

“Chronologically, geographically, the idea that Robert Maxwell setup his daughter with Epstein makes sense. Epstein and Robert Maxwell both had offices at the same address, the historic Helmsley Palace Hotel in Midtown Manhattan… Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did business together.”

As I have always suggested of this case, there’s a key detail that most miss the point on and that is missing money. After Robert Maxwell’s death in 1991, £500 million ($660 million, €585 million or درهم2.4 billion) vanished from his company’s pension fund and his daughter, Ghislaine, moaned about penniless and that even her knives and forks had been seized, yet within a year was living in a New York mansion and the beneficiary of at least fifteen bank accounts with balances “as high as £15.2 million ($20 million, €17.7 million or درهم73.5 million).”

Interested parties should finally examine the matter of where that money actually originated and whether this charade actually centres on the matter of a Maxwell to Maxwell transaction with Epstein simply as a financial functionary. As is always the case with this story, the truth is stranger than fiction and yet again I would suggest that this evil empire was a very dirty laundry.

Whilst unsuccessfully trying to get bail for Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover and clear associate, Maxwell’s family and her ‘secret’ husband since 2016, Scott Borgerson, offered to pony-up £21.6 million ($28.5 million, €25.3 million or درهم104.7 million) in assets. The key question is: “How did this supposedly ‘broke’ in 1991 woman amass this vast fortune and how much else does she really have to her name?” Equally: “Where is Mr Borgerson now and why isn’t he in court to support his wife?”

Tough Over Toff – Paul Dacre’s Back With A Bang

‘Daily Mail’ returns to “tough over toff” in ousting Geordie Greig and bringing back “daily hater’s” favourite’s bruiser Paul Dacre

The ongoing power play at the Daily Mail’s parent company took another Succession-like twist yesterday with the return – after just a few weeks away from the company – of Paul Dacre as editor-in-chief of DMG Media, the trust’s media arm.

Coming just days after “toff over tough” Geordie Greig’s ousting as editor of the Daily Mail, “tough over toff” Dacre’s reappointment will no doubt annoy the likes of Polly Toynbee, a woman whom once described him as a “bully” who “targets underdogs, imposing on the country racism, homophobia and philistinism, and shunning complexity and evidence.”

“Highly influentially politically” Dacre – a man with a house in Belgravia, a Sussex cattle farm, a house in the British Virgin Islands and a vast 17,000 Scottish estate – had previously sought to become chair of Ofcom, but was firmly rejected as “not acceptable.”

In a letter to The Times, of the interview process orchestrated at Ofcom, Dacre declared it was an ““infelicitous dalliance with the blob” and added:

“To anyone from the private sector, who, God forbid, has convictions, and is thinking of applying for a public appointment, I say the following: the civil service will control (and leak) everything; the process could take a year in which your life will be put on hold; and if you are possessed of an independent mind and are unassociated with the liberal/left, you will have more chance of winning the lottery than getting the job.”

Of Dacre’s reappointment in an email to staff, DMGT chairman Lord Rothermere commented:

“I am delighted to announce that Paul Dacre, who has a huge and distinguished history with this company, is being appointed editor-in-chief of DMG media.”

“Although he will not be involved in day-to-day editing, he will be taking an active role advising me and the editors.”

Going further, DMG publisher Martin Clarke added:

“Nobody has done more to make the Mail titles what they are today than Paul Dacre and I am honoured to be working with him.”

“His journalistic courage and judgment are beyond equal and editors and executives the length of Fleet Street can testify personally to how much they owe to his encouragement and counsel. DMG Media is extremely lucky to be able to draw on such a legendary talent.”

Now, as Lord Rothermere also moves to end DMGT’s 90 years as a listed company and seeks to retain the Daily Mail’s position as Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper, the return of “old bruiser” Paul Dacre marks one thing: “Geordie Greig’s nicer school of journalism” is about to be chucked out with the bathwater.

Pictured top: Paul Dacre – a man once described as a “poisoner in chief” and known for giving his readers “a daily hate.”

Geordie Greig was ousted from the ‘Daily Mail’ just days after his mate, the alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell, gave an “exclusive” to its sister paper ‘The Mail on Sunday’ about her life awaiting trial for sex trafficking and the enticement of minors.

Responding to critics, Dacre once remarked of “an unpleasant intellectual snobbery about the ‘Mail’ in leftish circles, for whom the word ‘suburban’ is an obscenity. They simply cannot comprehend how a paper that opposes the mindset they hold dear can be so successful and so loved by its millions of readers. Well, I’m proud that the ‘Mail’ stands up for those readers.” Previously he was most famous for headlines including: “Enemies Of The People” and “Crush The Saboteurs.”

In June 2018, Peter Oborne described Dacre as “one of the great., popular journalists, one of the great, popular editors.” He added: “He’s been one of the greatest editors of all time.” Of him, Lord Adonis countered: “He’s a [person] who feeds phobias.”

Epstein’s Fat Cat Finally Falls

Barclays CEO Jes Staley stands down 627 days after his links to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were exposed; ‘Epstein’s fat cat’ leaves with a £2.5 million golden handshake

It’s taken 627 days, but today James ‘Jes’ Staley has stepped down over his links to the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. A man cited as a “cat running out of lives” by Markets.com’s Neil Wilson on 13^th February 2020, the now former chief executive officer of Barclays has finally realised his days as a powerhouse are numbered.

Coming just prior to alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s New York trial commencing on the 29^th November, Staley’s fall from grace has interestingly come about not because of a decision by Barclays itself. Here, in fact, is a move that has occured because of regulatory bodies and public relations considerations.

It now transpires that Staley’s resignation followed the investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority reaching a preliminary conclusion that effectively condemned Staley as “unfit” to continue to act as the chief of a banking giant whose revenue was £21.766 billion in 2020.

Boston, Massachusetts born Staley now intends to contest the regulator’s decisions and in a statement this morning, Barclays announced:

“In view of those conclusions, and Mr Staley’s intention to contest them, the board and Mr Staley have agreed that he will step down from his role as group chief executive and as a director of Barclays.”

“The board is disappointed at this outcome. Mr Staley has run the Barclays Group successfully since December 2015 with real commitment and skill.”

Going further, the firm added that the investigation did not conclude that Staley “saw, or was aware of, any of Mr Epstein’s alleged crimes, which was the central question underpinning Barclays’ support for Mr Staley following the arrest of Mr Epstein in the summer of 2019.”

However, with the vultures unsurprisingly circling, clearly the financial giant have finally realised that negative media attention around both Maxwell and Prince Andrew’s links to Epstein – a man first convicted of sexual offences in 2008 – are about to return to haunt them also.

In October 2015, the Daily Mail published an article suggesting they had seen emails written by Epstein indicating he had “begun arguing for Mr Staley in financial circles in the summer of 2012″ while Barclays was searching for a new CEO.”

Astoundingly, Jes Staley will leave the firm with a 12 month golden handshake worth some £2.5 million. Who said associating with a paedophile doesn’t pay?

Mr Staley’s departure caused havoc this morning for Barclays’ share price. The revelation that the now former CEO visited Little St James, the island owned by the now croaked paedophile, months before he took up his role at the bank in 2015 were especially damning given Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sexual offences against minors. Last year, 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.”

Little St James – now tellingly 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 his civil case accuser 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.
