Matthew Steeples suggests the BBC’s ‘Murder in Mayfair’ provides the family of 2008 murder victim Martine Vik Magnussen with no concrete answers and certainly leaves them no closer to justice; cowardly cokehead Farouk Abdulhak should now be dragged to Britain kicking and screaming
In reality, whilst some will quite rightly argue that the programme’s presenter Nawal Al-Maghafi has brought something new to this tragic story by engaging with the on-the-run in Yemen only suspect in the case via Snapchat, I’d say that sadly she stopped engaging with Abdulhak at just the wrong moment and should have gone further.
In what was described to me afterwards as “teen drama stupidity presentation with all that Snapchatting” and a presentation that “cracked the nut open, but didn’t follow through and get a conclusion” by two beady eyed viewers with knowledge of the case, Al-Maghafi produced a documentary that The Sun’s Katy Docherty rightly pointed out “left more questions than answers.”
During the show, Abdulhak – the son of a deceased business tycoon named in the Panama Papers nicknamed ‘The King of Sugar’ and a rat himself prone to vulgarly using the moniker ‘DP’ because of his penchant for consuming vast amounts of Dom Perignon champagne – was shown to engage with Al-Maghafi and shared remarks that included:
“I don’t know what happened, it’s all a blur.”
“I have flashbacks every once in a while.”
“If I smell a certain female perfume, I feel uncomfortable.”
“I deeply regret the unfortunate accident that happened. I regret coming here [Yemen]. Should have stayed and paid the piper.”
“It was just an accident. Nothing nefarious.”
“Like told you, just a sex accident gone wrong.”
“No one knows because I could barely piece together what happened.”
He subsequently added that he blamed cocaine for what occurred and added: “Trust me I’m legally f**ked… Leaving the country and the body was moved.” Asked: “Why did you move the body?” by Al-Maghafi, Abdulhak cryptically answered in a very convenient “recollections may vary” style: “I don’t remember.”
Going further this spoilt brat former Regent’s Business School (RBS) pupil – who supposedly now spends his days playing on the Internet with just two bodyguards as ‘friends’ – arrogantly tried to justify his actions. He claimed he had not returned to Britain because:
“I don’t think justice will be served. I find that the criminal justice system there is heavily biased.”
“I think they will want to make an example of me, being the son of an Arab. Being a rich son.”
“I don’t know what answers they want to get. Nothing is going to bring their daughter back. There’s nothing that’s going to change what happened.”
Speaking to the presenter – who sadly missed an opportunity to delve deeper because she rather pathetically didn’t seem to feel comfortable doing such – subsequently, the victim’s father Odd Petter Magnussen shared that he had been offered £41 million ($50 million, €46 million or درهم184 million) to drop the case and “move on.” This courageous man remarked that he had rejected that and told Farouk Abdulhak: “You cannot hide forever.”
Today after airing of @BBCNawal's 'Murder in Mayfair' documentary on @BBCTwo last night about the 2008 slaying of Martine Vik Magnussen by alleged fugitive from justice Farouk Abdulhak, I ask: "Shouldn't the presenter have gone further in her questioning?" https://t.co/Uc99F4Xmgr
Today on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Today after airing of @BBCNawal’s ‘Murder in Mayfair’ documentary on @BBCTwo last night about the 2008 slaying of Martine Vik Magnussen by alleged fugitive from justice Farouk Abdulhak, I ask: “Shouldn’t the presenter have gone further in her questioning?” As of 13:30am on Wednesday 29th March 2023, the majority of answers favoured the answer: “She was muzzled by the BBC.”Nawal Al-Maghafi with Odd Petter Magnussen (left) and the latter speaking at a conference about his late, murdered daughter.Snapchat seems to be one of the ways that fugitive from justice Farouk Abdulhak keeps himself entertained whilst evading the British courts; the first in the series of messages between him and Nawal Al-Maghafi.Further missives reveal the arrogance of this son of a deceased billionaire.
Elsewhere, in a post on Facebook on 18th December 2022 on the ‘Justice for Martine Vik Magnussen’ group but something not examined in any real depth in Murder in Mayfair unfortunately, it was stated:
“On 7th December 2022, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that on 19th November Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt had a conversation with Foreign Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak in the Yemeni government-in-exile about Martine’s case.”
“Ahmed bin Mubarak confirmed that he had sent a letter to the Ministry of Interior for the authorities to do what they could to arrest Farouk Abdulhak. This also means that an arrest warrant has been circulated to the airports in the country. Following the meeting on 19 November, the Norwegian Foreign Service received a verbal note from Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirming that this has been done.”
“Foreign Minister Bin Mubarak also expressed great sympathy for Martine’s family.”
Going further, in January, lawyer Patrick Lundevall-Unger remarked in a post shared on the same Facebook group:
“The controversial state act by the then Sahle regime to harbouring an Egyptian fugitive wanted for rape and murder, should be corrected by the present authorities in Sanaa.”
“Most of all, however, we appeal to the suspect himself to voluntarily return from his residency in Sanaa to the UK.”
“Potential escape routes, such as going by speed boat from Yemen to Djibouti onwards to family in Ethiopia, will not work in the future.”
“Farouk, I therefore appeal to you to come to your senses and deliver on fundamental justice for Martine and beyond. Without justice in the world, we cannot have peace – the two are intertwined. The same applies to you Farouk! Farouk: you can contribute to justice thereby finding your own peace!”
Mr Lundevall-Unger is bang on the nail; it is time for Farouk Abdulhak to put away the Snapchat and the coke and it is time instead for him to man-up and face the fact that he’ll never be free of this saga until he returns to Britain and finally tells the truth about what happened that fateful night.

A post-mortem examination gave Martine Vik Magnussen’s cause of death as compression to the neck. In November 2010, an inquest recorded a verdict of unlawful killing. On a website seeking justice, her friends paid tribute to her life in a video shared on YouTube that also included a contribution from a Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Martine Vik Magnussen (6th February 1985 – 14th March 2008) was last seen leaving the Maddox Club, 3 – 5 Mill Street, Mayfair, London, W1S 2AU with Farouk Abdulhak (born February 1987 and also known as Farooq) around 2am on 14th March 2008. Her body was found in the basement of a residential building at The Armitage Apartments, 222 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5QR – where he rented a serviced apartment – two days later at 10.30am on 16th March 2008. She had been raped, beaten, strangled and attempts had been made to conceal her body in rubbish and rubble.Both the suspected rapist-murderer and his innocent, tragic victim were students at Regent’s Business School – known also as ‘RBS’ and a place which frankly should have its lavatorial areas tested daily for cocaine as it’d likely be found to have more on the premises than the Houses of Parliament even.Martine Vik Magnussen was a bright, attractive 23-year-old lady whose life was so reprehensibly taken from her. The courage and tenacity of her family in campaigning to bring her rapist-killer to justice is to be saluted.Farouk Abdulhak (also known as Farooq Abdulhak) lived a playboy lifestyle in London and no doubt lives in luxury courtesy of his family’s wealth. His alleged victim’s life was cut short when she was just 23 and it is beyond disgraceful that this spoilt tyke has not yet been prepared to assist police as they seek to solve the rape-murder that at occurred in the property where he lived in 2008.The arrogance of this scion of a billionaire is clear. Here is someone who lived off his father and was clearly never taught anything about developing a moral compass or the concepts of right, wrong and taking responsibilities for your own actions.Items missing from the victim’s body that were with her when she left the Maddox Club but not with her body when it was discovered, according to Scotland Yard, included: Christian Dior earrings, snakeskin shoes, a Marc Jacobs handbag, a Guess watch, a silver costume diamond ring and her jeans (described as blue and of a ‘skinny’ fit).Shaher Abdulhak (1938 – 2020) was a prominent Yemeni businessman and the founder of Shaher Trading. Nicknamed the ‘King of Sugar,’ this “media shy” individual “held a great deal of political influence” and “never granted interviews.” He died in Germany from cancer and is buried in Cairo, Egypt and in the wake of his son being accused of rape and murder in London, quite rightly amongst others Daimler AG ended their relationships with a man who harboured and protected a fugitive alleged killer.In 2016, it was reported that the victim’s father had “received an offer of the arrangement of Abdulhak being handed over to Interpol on the eighth anniversary of her death in exchange for Norway hosting peace talks when the Yemeni civil war was at its height.” Though this was unsuccessful, Mr Magnussen later remarked: “I found this encouraging. This was a strong message to the suspect that he can no longer rely on the total support of his own people. I hope he is not sleeping so well these days.”The funeral of Martine Vik Magnussen – a young lady whose life should not have been cut short at 23 and whose rapist-killer must be brought to justice.
As noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell’s batshit bonkers brother Ian Maxwell bizarrely bangs on about the ‘murder’ of Jeffrey Epstein on an obscure San Francisco news channel, Matthew Steeples suggests this desperado would do better to learn the art of silence
As she rots in the clink, further evidence comes that Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother is getting increasingly desperate. This week, illustrating he isn’t being taken seriously elsewhere, Ian Maxwell turned to an obscure San Francisco news channel named KRON4 to tell yet more yarns about his mucky madam sex fiend sister.
In comments, subsequently shared only by the now little read website MSN, Mr Maxwell supposedly told KRON4’s Vicki Livakis:
“She wishes she had never met Jeff Epstein, and because the havoc that relationship has caused, not just Ghislaine, but really everybody that came in touch with him.”
“Basically, it was a stitch up from after Jeffrey Epstein died in US government custody when Bill Barr was Attorney General.”
“The only person to actually take the fall is Jeff Epstein, and he’s dead of course.”
“We don’t really know, the extent of what happened [on the night of 10th August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York]. There, his own family thinks he was murdered. My sister thinks he was murdered.”
“If there are other people that have not yet come into the prosecution’s orbit, and who may be powerful people and don’t wish to be involved in this, somehow that they would find it. An ability to murder my sister or cause her to have an accident that looks like an accident but isn’t.”
“We are her family. We love her, we miss her, and we will support and defend her.”
Bizarrely also, Brian Basham, we can today reveal that the PR peddler the deviant daughter of the pension pot plunderer became so reliant on to push out piffle on her behalf prior to her conviction, has gone remarkably quiet in recent months. He appears to have given up on the paramour of his pen and left the donkey work to Ian and Kevin Maxwell instead.
In spite of threatening to confront me at the 2022 edition of CrimeCon in London (and then being a Cowary Custard no-show), Mr Basham seems to have given up on Twitter. Though not exactly popular there – a tittle-tattling spinner during the era of the British Airways ‘Dirty Tricks’ campaign against the equally rambunctious Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic – has not tweeted since 2nd July 2022 and not replied to a tweet since 14th September that year also.
Of this development, I today ask:
Is Brian Basham still ‘working’ and is he in the pay of Ghislaine Maxwell?
Has Basham been fired by the Maxwell family or did he quit before he was pushed?
Does Basham still believe in the innocence of the convicted criminal sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell?
Has Basham had an epiphany and realised that the wicked woman he so enthusiastically supported is actually just a monstrous sex trafficker and a boob groping audacious abuser?

Brian Basham (left) is a man who previously had no qualms about defending the sex fiend Ghislaine Maxwell – a batshit bonkers bisexual woman whose nefarious activities with the croaked Ponzi scheming paedophile Jeffrey Epstein resulted in the ruination of the lives of countless young girls and boys even. Mr Basham has been remarkably quiet in recent months. One is left wondering: “Why?”Mr Basham isn’t exactly popular on social media. On Twitter, he has just 240 followers in spite of following 57 accounts also and having previously shared rather a lot there.After the deservedly respected journalist and author John Sweeney shared a “current list of people who don’t like me” in 2020, Brian Basham attempted to belittle him by suggesting him to be an alcoholic before adding he “despised” rather than “disliked” him. He added: “I despise you for coating your investigation with the slime of click bait untrue sensationalism.”
The Truth & The Lies About Visitors To Little Saint James (AKA ‘Paedo Island,’ ‘Island of Sin’ and ‘Orgy Island’)
Jeffrey Epstein liked to call his island home ‘Little Saint Jeff’ rather than Little Saint James. He also owned the adjoining island of Great Saint James. Both remain for sale and though the price was £94.5 million ($125 million, €113.8 million or درهم459.1 million) in March 2022, it has now been revised to “price upon request.”
Rumours abound as to what went on the ‘Islands of Sin’ and false lists of names continue to do the rounds on social media. An analysis of such follows below:
Who has most definitely visited the ‘Paedo Islands’…
The following are confirmed to have been on the islands. This does NOT mean that they participated in anything nefarious, though, of course, several amongst their number have been convicted of exactly such:
Miles and Cathy Alexander – who ran the islands’ management for the since croaked paedophile between 1999 and 2007 and who later claimed: “Our job was about discretion.”
Prince Andrew.
Ehud Barak.
Per Bloomberg.
Jean-Luc Brunel (deceased).
Naomi Campbell.
David Copperfield.
Alan Dershowitz.
Clementine Hambro.
Stephen Hawking.
Victim Virginia Roberts-Giuffre.
Lawrence Knauss.
Adam Perry Lang – who, for a time, was Epstein’s chef and who is now known as a “celebrity chef” in California.
Lord Mandelson and his partner Reinaldo Avila da Silva.
Ghislaine Maxwell.
Victim Sarah Ransome.
Claudia Schiffer.
IT contractor Stephen Scully – who has identified various famous names he supposedly spotted whilst working there.
Kevin Spacey.
Jes Staley and his wife Debbie.
Leslie Wexner.
Who may or may not have visited the ‘Paedo Islands’…
The following are often listed amongst those “rumoured” to have visited. Some names suggested are more far-fetched than others. These people may or may not have actually visited, but these people have neither confirmed nor denied either way:
Enemim.
John Glenn.
George Mitchell.
President Obama.
Itzhak Perlman.
Roger Stone.
Chrissy Teigen.
Chris Tucker.
Oprah Winfrey.
Who has been accused of visiting but publicly denied having been to the ‘Paedo Islands’…
These individuals have been very clear in their comments about accusations they visited Little Saint James:
President Bill Clinton – who Virginia Roberts Giuffre recalls seeing there, but who has denied ever visiting.
Rosie O’Donnell – who went as far as to say “f**k no” when asked.
Kathy Griffin – who responded to suggestions by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that she’d been there with comments that included: “YOU GUYSSSSS? Ok, I guess I just gotta #laugh #Ridiculous… STILL WITH THESE NUT JOBS…I know. I know. I guess I just gotta laugh.”
Chelsea Handler – who has, however, admitted to having had dinner with Epstein at his New York ‘Paedo Palace.’
Who has been falsely accused of visiting the ‘Paedo Islands’…
These peoples’ names regularly do the rounds as having visited, but though they have not publicly responded, evidence suggests they did not actually visit:
President Donald Trump – who did, however, fly on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ and who spent time with him in Palm Beach on multiple occasions most definitely.
As the Epstein-Maxwell saga continues to unravel, Matthew Steeples looks at the forthcoming fallout for ‘The Monsters’ linked including Prince Andrew, Steve Bannon, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Jes Staley
The rotten rabbit hole that is the Epstein-Maxwell saga seems to never end. Barely a day goes by without new developments or old ones being revisited and in the last week, the prospects of further fallout for linked parties has only grown.
Aside from Prince Andrew whingeing and whining via third parties that he has been left “bewildered” and “in despair” after King Charles III cut him off from access to the £650 million ($782 million, €735 million or درهم2.9 billion) estate left by Queen Elizabeth II, the non-sweating ‘bestie’ of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is allegedly also ludicrously proposing a new television interview “telling his side” of the story. An unnamed source last week went as far as to claim now “feels there is little else to lose” and that “nothing is off the table… Andrew has been made to give up his job and now potentially his home.”
Turning to Maxwell and her appeal prospects, on Thursday The Guardian’s New York based ‘reporter of courts’ Victoria Bekiempis analysed the mucky madam’s prospects. Bekiempis argued Maxwell “faces [a] hard road in bid to overturn sex-trafficking conviction” with the help of her new lawyer, a representative also of Harvey Weinstein named Arthur L. Aidala.
Going further, Bekiempis added:
“[Aidala has] said Maxwell was a ‘proxy’ for Epstein who was prosecuted ‘to satisfy public outrage over an unpopular non-prosecution agreement and the death of the person responsible for the crimes’ … [His] comments might have been aimed more at generating sympathetic media coverage than being a predictor of the appeal’s likely success. Maxwell cannot mount an appeal based on her own claims that she was a hapless surrogate for Epstein, or too tired at trial.”
“Her legal team will have to argue instead that there were legal errors in proceedings against her that necessitate a verdict reversal, and that is where her bid to have her conviction overturned will succeed or – according to many legal experts – more likely fail.”
“‘The likelihood of the second circuit reversing her trial verdict is close to zero,’ said Ron Kuby, a longtime criminal defense attorney with a focus on civil rights. ‘The second circuit tends to uphold almost all criminal convictions as a general matter.’”
“In the rare cases the second circuit does reverse a trial court outcome, leading to a new trial, it is typically because prosecutors have over-stretched a legal theory – or because the US supreme court has made a decision that affects proceedings in lower courts, Kuby said.”
“‘But Maxwell’s trial was none of that – the Maxwell trial was all very well-plowed legal territory,’ Kuby said. The proceedings against Maxwell – which stemmed from serving as Epstein’s procurer of victims – were not complicated by racketeering counts, nor convoluted bribery charges.”
“‘It’s like very, very, very fancy trappings, but fundamentally, it’s the prosecution of a pimp, which is not that complicated,” Kuby said.”
“Rachel Fiset, co-founder of Los Angeles firm Zweiback, Fiset & Zalduendo, said she thought a successful appeal was ‘unlikely.’”
“While Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, will probably fail in her appeal, there is still a reason for her to try.”
“‘She’s looking at a very long sentence, and they are looking at ways to have it overturned, and there are not any options beyond an appeal,’ Fiset said. ‘She doesn’t have very much to lose other than the cost of the appeal.’”
“‘It’s not uncommon for people with a lot of means to appeal their conviction in the hopes that it’s overturned. Maxwell has remained very steadfast that she has not committed these crimes and that it’s not her fault, so the appeal is not surprising.’”
Elsewhere, interest in Epstein and Maxwell’s involvement with Donald Trump was revived yesterday in Business Insider. In an article titled: “Jeffrey Epstein said he stopped hanging out with Trump ‘when he realised Trump was a crook,’ according to his brother,” writer Jacob Shamsian quoted the croaked paedophile’s sibling Mark Epstein.
Referencing a still to be released video interview between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s disgraced White House advisor Steve Bannon, Shamsian shared:
“Mark Epstein told Insider he viewed a clip of the interview, conducted by Trump’s former White House advisor Steve Bannon, after his brother forwarded it to him in the spring of 2019.”
“At the time, Bannon was conducting filmed interviews with the now-dead pedophile financier. Bannon sent Jeffrey Epstein a Dropbox link to a clip, which he forwarded to his brother. The link is no longer active, according to Mark.”
“‘Jeffrey showed me the link to one of these interviews,’ Mark Epstein said. ‘And in that interview, Jeffrey said he stopped hanging out with Trump when he realised Trump was a crook.’”
“Insider has not been able to independently view the video. Bannon could not be reached for comment.”
“For the documentary project, Bannon recorded more than 16 hours of footage, Mark Epstein said. In November of 2018, the Miami Herald ran a series detailing how Jeffrey Epstein secured a secret, lenient plea deal with federal prosecutors in Florida in 2007, even after law enforcement concluded at the time that he had sexually abused more than 30 girls.”
“‘Steve Bannon was working with Jeffrey to try to help Jeffrey rehabilitate his reputation,’ Mark Epstein told Insider.”
“Bannon and Epstein had become close in 2017, after Bannon left the White House, according to the journalist Michael Wolff. Bannon lived lavishly off Epstein’s vast wealth, using his Paris apartment and butler in 2018.”
“Bannon released a trailer in 2021 for his apparent documentary about Epstein, titled The Monsters [subtitled: ‘Epstein’s Life Among The Global Elite’]. The entire documentary has not yet been released.”
“Both Bannon and Trump now have their own legal issues. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has pending criminal charges against Bannon, alleging he participated in a scam nonprofit organization that raised funds to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. Trump pardoned Bannon on federal charges for the same scheme before he left office. Bannon’s lawyers in the federal case are suing him for allegedly not paying his bills. Bannon was also found guilty last year of contempt of Congress for defying a House January 6 committee hearing subpoena.”
“Trump, for his part, is facing a potential indictment from the Manhattan district attorney’s office for a hush-money scheme ahead of the 2016 election, a rape case headed to trial in April, and a litany of other legal woes.”
Turning to the Department of Justice investigation into Epstein’s death, in a separate and rather lengthy article for Business Insider last Thursday, Shamsian observed:
“Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a federal jail was seen as a shocking Justice Department failure. Over three years later, the DOJ inspector general hasn’t released the results of its investigation. Epstein’s accusers – and his brother – still want answers.”
“The officials said Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. Pressed for more detail, they just repeated themselves.”
“‘They didn’t give me any information other than ‘After a thorough investigation, we determined it was a suicide,’ Mark Epstein said. ‘It was like I was talking to a f**king robot.’”
“The meeting [on 28th October 2019, two months after his brother’s death] was the only time Mark got any answers from the DOJ about his brother’s death. Three years later, he still doesn’t know exactly how Epstein died and why it’s taken the government that long to share its answer to that question.”
“Mark Epstein told Insider that even though he’s Jeffrey’s next of kin, he hasn’t been able to obtain certain medical records, including the care reports filled out by EMTs who evaluated his brother’s corpse.”
“‘For many people, the death was suspicious, to say the least,’ said Gloria Allred, an attorney who represents 20 of Epstein’s victims. ‘Others have their own conclusions about what happened to Mr Epstein. But the speculation needs to be replaced by facts and evidence.’”
“Mark Epstein remains puzzled by the holdup. He’s convinced his brother didn’t kill himself and stands by the conclusions of Baden, who personally observed the four-hour autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein’s body.”
“‘We all took it by surprise,’ Mark Epstein told Insider. ‘Nobody thought he was gonna kill himself. Nobody.’”
“After losing all [his lavish life on his arrest in 2019], it was possible he found the prospect of life behind bars unappealing, Mark Epstein said. ‘When I first heard that my brother was dead, and found dead from suicide, I just figured, ‘OK, he decided to take himself out,’ he told Insider.”
“An Insider poll taken later that fall found nearly half of Americans believed Epstein was murdered.”
“When Mark Epstein saw Barr dismiss the possibility of a murder based on his review of security footage outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell tier, he wasn’t remotely satisfied.
“What I thought was, this is either a cover-up, or he’s the dumbest f**k on the planet,’ Mark Epstein said.”
“To Mark, [Attroney General Bill] Barr’s version of events suggests he came to the conclusion that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and then backfilled evidence from there.”
“Barr seemed to consider only the possibility that a murderer would have been someone who snuck into the jail. Mark told Insider he was gobsmacked that Barr didn’t seem to consider the possibility that someone else in Jeffrey Epstein’s block of cells killed him.”
“Mark Epstein told Insider that he spoke to his brother about once a month in the years before his death. The two caught up over the phone while Jeffrey Epstein was in Paris, the night before he flew to New Jersey and was arrested after his private jet landed.”
“Jeffrey Epstein had reasons to stay alive, Mark said. He didn’t leave a suicide note – or at least none that has been reported – and reportedly deposited money into other inmates’ commissary accounts in return for protection. People who spoke with him in the weeks leading up to his death believed he was optimistic about getting the charges dismissed.”
“Mark Epstein told Insider he built his wealth independently from his brother, founding a silk-screening business before pivoting to real estate with Ossa Properties, which at one point reportedly owned hundreds of apartments in New York City.
“At least one of Mark Epstein’s Upper East Side buildings, however, includes multiple links to his brother. Mark has said he purchased it from the business magnate Leslie Wexner, his brother’s longtime patron. Jeffrey Epstein owned about a dozen apartments in the building, which he used to house at least one of his sex-trafficking victims as well as his private pilots while they were staying in New York, according to testimony at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial. Right before Epstein died, his lawyers were preparing to appeal a judge’s decision to deny him bail. They had prepared a bond package valued at $100 million.”
“Mark Epstein agreed to guarantee the whole thing, he told Insider, meaning he’d lose that amount of money if his brother tried to flee authorities.”
“‘If you get bail, you’re gonna be home for a year – under house arrest, with an ankle bracelet, armed guards, video cameras, whatever the conditions were – but he’ll be in his house,’ Mark Epstein said. ‘So why kill yourself then?’”

Pictured Top – Steve Bannon’s likely shelved film ‘The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among The Global Elite’ would (or will) undoubtedly feature not only the croaked paedophile, but also his lover and co-collaborator Ghislaine Maxwell, his “heartfelt” friend and banker Jes Staley and the ‘bestie’ that came to “end their friendship in December 2010,” Prince Andrew.
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Who is going to “suffer” most next in fallout from Epstein-Maxwell sex trafficking saga given Jes Staley court case, Trump & Clinton revelations & Prince Andrew’s latest tantrums?” He added the hashtags: #GhislaineMaxwell #JeffreyEpstein #JesStaley #PrinceAndrew #BillClinton #DonaldTrump #SteveBannon and of the four options listed, by 11:30am on Sunday 12th March, the clear majority of respondents favoured the option that it’ll be worst for the “other famous faces linked” than anyone else.

The trailer for the as-of-yet still unreleased Steve Bannon film ‘The Monsters –Epstein’s Life Among The Global Elite’ lasts 2:02-minutes. Of the 16 hours of footage, many are still asking: “Where exactly is the film?” in which Bannon allegedly accused Jeffrey Epstein of being a spy even.Jeffrey Epstein looked at ease whilst being interviewed for a programme subsequently titled ‘The Monsters’ by Steve Bannon. Only a trailer for it has been released thus far (in 2021) and in it in October 2021, the ‘New York Post’ reported that late pedophile stunningly claimed “that he was a “’irm believer and supporter’ of the anti-sexual harassment Time’s Up movement.” Calling him out as a “pervert,” the paper added that he observed: “I made my living from old thinking. But the future is for the way women think. I’ve always believed that women will be, in fact, be able to take over.”That Steve Bannon supposedly spent around 16 hours recording convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as part of an attempt to allegedly help “rehabilitate” him at his Lenox Hill ‘Paedo Palace’ – sold subsequently for £36 million in March 2021 – sometime in 2018 speaks volumes as the lack of quality of his moral compass. Steve Bannon released his trailer for ‘The Monsters’ under the banner of Victory Films. In August 2020, ‘The Wrap’ shared details of “all 19 movies and shows [that he] wrote, directed or produced.” Amongst them were ‘The Indian Runner’ (1991) with Sean Penn, ‘Seinfeld’ (1992), ‘Titus’ with Anthony Hopkins (1999), ‘Reagan: In the Face of Evil’ (2004), ‘Border War: The Battle Over Illegal Immigration’ (2006), ‘Tradition Never Graduates: A Season Inside Notre Dame Football’ (2007), ‘The Chaos Experiment’ with Val Kilmer (2009), ‘Generation Zero’ (2010), ‘Battle for America’ (2010), ‘Fire from the Heartland’ (2010), ‘Sarah Palin: The Undefeated’ (2010), ‘The Hope & the Change’ (2012), ‘District of Corruption’ (2012), ‘Occupy Unmasked’ (2012), ‘Sweetwater’ with January Jones and Ed Harris (2013), ‘Rickover: The Birth of Nuclear Power’ (2014), ‘Clinton Cash’ (2016), ‘Torchbearer’ (2016) and ‘Trump @ War’ (2018). Other companies and organisations the Norfolk, Virginia born naval officer and investment banker turned media tycoon and political strategist wannabe has been involved in have numbered Bannon & Co. (sold to Société Générale in 1998), ‘Breitbart News,’ IGE, the Government Accountability Institute, The Movement and Cambridge Analytica.The noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell (pictured with her avaricious late mother Betty in 1991) appears incapable of accepting her sentence. Set to attempt to pile yet more misery on her multiple victims, this convicted sex trafficker should be made aware that in 2015 court administration data “indicated that less than 9% of federal appeals in reversals of lower courts,” according to ‘The Guardian’s’ Victoria Bekiempis.Meanwhile Jeffrey Epstein’s very, very rich brother Mark has again been spreading his thoughts about the demise of the Ponzi scheming paedophile. Mark Epstein is clearly very motivated and in suggesting his late brother believed Donald Trump (pictured with his wife Melania Knauss and Ghislaine Maxwell also) to be a “crook,” he is clearly trying to change the narrative in his own favour.President Bill Clinton (pictured at the White House with the co-conspirator sex traffickers Epstein and Maxwell on 29th September 1993) faces further woes from the fallout also. Allegations that Clinton and Maxwell had sexual liaisons that became a full-blown affair have abounded, but remain unconfirmed by either party. Equally, Epstein and Clinton travelled together on multiple occasions and clearly shared a mutual liking for young girls also. The former POTUS was most certainly advised about the derelict and deviant actions of the nefarious former taxi driver turned financier, yet conveniently chose to ignore such and to instead accept the dirty devil’s dollar.One of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest pals, ‘Snow White’ communicator James Edward Staley (AKA ‘Jes Staley’), faces his own woes with a summons on a third-party complaint from JPMorganChase Bank, N.A. and ‘Jane Doe 1’ in regard to his “activities” with and on behalf of his deceased chum. The late CEO of J. P. Morgan and Barclays – who resides at 930 Park Avenue, Unit GN/6S, New York, NY 10028 with his wife Debbie – is set to go down in history as a total disgrace.Meanwhile, the Pizza Express loving mate of the facing-a-trial-for-a-£400-million fraud Bernie Ecclestone that is the Duke of York must be called out as utterly nuts if he decides to give another interview. His last, with Emily Maitlis for the BBC, was an utter car crash of total epic proportions. No doubt encouraged by his money grabbing live-in ex-wife, ‘Feckless Fergie’ (AKA ‘Sarah, Duchess of York), and his dimwitted daughters, here is a needy and greedy berk who King Charles III should most definitely just “cancel.”
As dimwitted dunce Sarah, Duchess of York again leaps to the defence of ropey ratbag Prince Andrew, we again ask ‘Feckless Fergie’ if she ever repaid loans taken from the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein; it is time for some answers
Sarah, Duchess of York would most likely rather a photograph taken of her on 13th February 2010 to forever disappear. It was taken at the now infamous Lenox Hill, New York ‘Paedo Palace’ where Jeffrey Epstein conducted so much of his abuse and it features the royal ratbag grinning like ‘The Cheshire Cat’ alongside the since croaked paedophile’s also since deceased maid, Jun-Lyn Fontanilla.
Epstein, at that stage, was a convicted sex offender who had been released from jail on 22nd July 2009 and one would have thought someone would have advised the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II that hanging around in places of perversion might not be a good idea.
Just as was the case with her non-sweating, mate of Putin loving Bernie Ecclestone ex-husband – who himself spent a few days, where he claimed he was “ending the friendship,” at the “house of horror” at 9 East 71st Street, Lenox Hill subsequently on or about 6th December 2010 – it is clear that here is a woman lacking in the good sense to see that hanging around with a paedophile and his staff was never going to be wise.
Now the proud ‘owner’ – though she can’t sell it without the permission of her daughters whom created a clause effective to such on it – of a £5 million pad in ritzy Belgravia, London, ‘Feckless Fergie’ is currently on yet another tour of America flogging her tawdry tat.
This time in New York promoting a bonkbuster “romance novel” titled A Most Intriguing Lady, the 63-year-old raced to the defence of the ex-husband she weirdly still lives with. She made no comment as to whether they’d be moving from Royal Lodge to Frogmore Cottage, but claimed: “I feel that he [Prince Andrew is] a very good man. Zip.”
Still showing no sign of realising how loathed the Duke of York is, the redheaded rotter added:
“He’s had a few difficult years… [He’s] been going through such a tumultuous time… Since he stepped back [from royal duties] he doesn’t actually take taxpayers’ money. And I’m in a position where I can support him and the rest of the family through my work. And I’m really pleased and proud to do that.”
On Twitter this morning, Matthew Steeples took a very different view. He asked of the former Sarah Ferguson:

As grasping grifter Sarah, Duchess of York defends Prince Andrew whilst answering chosen questions on latest moneymaking tour in NYC, should she answer as to whether she ever repaid loans taken from Jeffrey Epstein? #Fergie#JeffreyEpstein#PrinceAndrewhttps://t.co/F45XUUqitD
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “As grasping grifter Sarah, Duchess of York defends Prince Andrew whilst answering chosen questions on latest moneymaking tour in NYC, should she answer as to whether she ever repaid loans taken from Jeffrey Epstein?” As of 11:30-am on Tuesday 7th March, 42.9% of respondents agreed with the sentiment “yes; outraged she hasn’t.”A second photograph shows Prince Andrew’s ex-wife with Jeffrey Epstein’s maid and her husband Jojo Fontanilla also. Here was a woman who clearly liked spending time at ‘Paedo Palace’ and here was someone very comfortable to associate not only with her host, but also with his staff as well.In her defence, ‘Fergie’ was not the only famous person to pose with Jun-Lyn Fontanilla in Epstein’s New York mansion. President Bill Clinton (shown here with the maid and her husband Jojo, who also worked for Epstein) was another to get snapped with her whilst others included the actress Hilary Swank, the actor Chris Tucker and the politician John Kerry.‘Paedo Palace’ loan taking – The former Sarah Ferguson was snapped at Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion on 13th February 2010 with a maid named Jun-Lyn Fontanilla. She was clearly there to see this woman’s boss about her messy financial predicament or to accept his hospitality at the very least. It has been suggested that she took around £15,000 ($18,000, €16,900 or درهم66,100-) as a direct transfer from Epstein around this date and that she also got other “assistance” with her “problems” from him also. 9 East 71st Street (also known as ‘The Herbert N. Strauss Mansion’), Lenox Hill, New York, NY 10021, USA was sold for £36 million ($50 million, €42 million or درهم184 million) in March 2021, a sum 192% lower than the £69 million ($88 million, €74 million or درهم351 million) originally sought in September 2020.The “toe sucking twerp” that is ‘Fergie’ is someone whom many have excused over the years as “a bit simple” and “harmless.” She may well have taken everyone she met as “nice” and “kind,” but that she has repeatedly spent time hanging around wealthy sex fiends such as Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Peter Nygård shows she’s simply prepared to put money above all else.Drunk in a car, playing char lady and mopping the floors at Royal Lodge or making a fool of herself whilst also drunk; the ‘public looks’ that Sarah, Duchess of York are illustrative of a woman beyond badly advised. It is time that this pointless prattler finally realised the error of her ways; of course, actually, she never will.
Given the live-in ex-wife at Royal Lodge, Windsor of supposedly skint ‘Randy Andy’ – a non-sweating man who got his long-suffering relatives to pay a supposed sum of circa £12 million to Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a woman he has previously claimed to have met – is in America to prattle on to anyone who pays to listen, perhaps she should be reminded of her own weird and even weirder warblings. They number:
Of sex, her and goats: “One of the worst headlines said 82% [of the population] would rather sleep with a goat than Fergie. It’s never left me.”
Of the royal family: “They tried to put the little redhead in a cage.”
Of her own family: “I do believe in family unity. I think forgiveness is key.”
Of the Duke of York: “A good man… In 1986, I married a very good man. Zip.”
Of supporting her disgraced ex-husband financially: “I will always be there [for Prince Andrew].”
“When Andrew went through a hard time, I used to be able to throw it to ‘The Boss.’”
“Since he stepped back [from royal duties] he doesn’t actually take taxpayers’ money and I’m in a position where I can support him and the rest of the family through my work. And I’m really pleased and proud to do that.”
“All I will say is that for many years now – it started with Budgie the Little Helicopter – I’ve really pushed to look after my girls and to contribute to the York family life.”
Of her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie: “Exceptional… I love my girlies, I’m so proud of them. They are exceptional children… If mum’s OK, they’re OK.”
Of the late Queen Elizabeth II: “More my mother than my mother… The Queen was like a hand of support behind your back without being there.”
“For the whole nation, for the world. Steadfast, consistent, iconic. [She had an] extraordinary ability to put someone at ease. I still now think it was such an honour [to have known her].”
“During the last three years, her poor son [was] going through such a tumultuous time… And I think HM was very relieved I could help her with him, so we became even closer, then.”
Of the late Queen’s corgis: “They’re very good boys, they’re very gentle. I think they knew that they weren’t to jump up and be naughty. They used to sit and watch the racing with her. And when you give them a biscuit, they don’t snatch. They’re very special, they’re national treasures.”
Of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: “I have been judged all my life, and I have no judgment on the Sussexes.”
“It must be hard for Meghan and can I relate to her. I believe she is modern and fabulous. She was famous before. She is great. Why can’t Meghan be great? Why can’t she be celebrated? I have been in Meghan’s shoes, and I still am. There’s always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring… I abhor bullying and I feel desperately sorry for the pain they must be going through.”
Of herself and her life: “I have been in the gutter.”
“I’m a brilliant mother. The best mother.”
“I don’t believe that any single person has the right to judge another person. I’m not in a position myself to make any judgments.”
Of food, family and dining: “As long as it is hot, wet and goes down the right way, it’s fine with me.”
“With every smell, I smell food. With every sight, I see food. I can almost hear food. I want to spade the whole lot through my mouth at Mach 2. Basta!”
“We all sit round the table and eat together. Andrew and I believe in total parent unity. We’re best friends.”
On the coronation of King Charles III: “Well I’ve decided the best thing about British around a coronation – although I’ve never been to one – I think we should, I should set up a tea room at the bottom of the drive with bunting and cakes.”
Of wanting to be a television star: “I would quite like to go on Dancing With The Stars. I would like somebody to teach me to tango. I do know the show and my children would be so proud of me.”
Of when she decided she wanted to bag a royal: “I met [Prince Andrew] when I was 12, and I said: ‘I’m going to marry him.’”
Of marriage, divorce and work: “I left my marriage knowing I’d have to work. I have.”
“I didn’t want a divorce, but had to because of circumstance.”
“I wish we’d never got divorced. He and I both wish we’d never divorced, but we did. I wish I could go back and be the bride again, but I can’t.”
Of her many, many mistakes: “I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake. Why have I made so many mistakes?”
“You look at the devil in the face, which you do. Then you forgive, and you say: ‘OK, I’ve made almost a mistake that will never be forgotten,’ and forgive.”
“I was so out of control with desperation… I was looking for quick fixes in the places I wouldn’t normally look… I’ve been a huge overtrusting, idiotic, stupid woman that went to look for the perfect situation, and that’s all I can say really.”
On Thursday 20th August 1992, the ‘Daily Mirror’ shared what they called “the pictures they didn’t want you to see.” In them, a topless Duchess of York was shown having her toes sucked in the South of France by a Texan millionaire named John Bryan. Of the incident, the ‘Mirror’ later reported: “Royal writer Richard Kay claimed in the ‘Daily Mail’ that he received a message via pager from Princess Diana the night before the photos hit the newspaper stands. Diana’s message was simple: ‘The redhead’s in trouble.’”Questionable Friendships – 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. Just as was the case for him and his ex-wife over Epstein, the Duke of York’s decision to keep Mr Ecclestone as a friend is something that he deserves to be questioned about given the ex-Formula 1 head honcho is due to go on trial in connection with a £400 million fraud by false representation case brought against him by His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on 15th November 2023.
Sarah, Duchess of York’s support for the Duchess of Sussex is another example of her backing the wrong horse. In 2019, the feckless live-in ex-wife of ‘Randy Andy’ remarked: “It must be hard for Meghan and can I relate to her. I believe she is modern and fabulous. She was famous before. She is great. Why can’t Meghan be great? Why can’t she be celebrated? I have been in Meghan’s shoes, and I still am. There’s always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring… I abhor bullying and I feel desperately sorry for the pain they must be going through.”
In 2018, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie had a temper tantrum on ’60 Minutes Australia’ when questioned about seeking out cash from what she clearly must have known to be illegitimate sources.
As shameless sex fiend Stephen Bear is deservedly jailed, it is shameful that his grubby girlfriend Jessica Smith continues to pile misery on his victim; here is a pair of gruesome grifters far worse than even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Homophobic horror Stephen Bear might find himself having a fair few problems in the prison showers. A man prone to exposing his privates and talking about his ‘todger’ in a similar way to Prince Harry, this filthy piece of toerag, however, won’t have the luxury of the aid of Elizabeth Arden cream anytime soon.
Jailed quite deservedly for 21 months on Friday for voyeurism, disclosing private, sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and harassment without violence, the Walthamstow born 33-year-old showed utterly no remorse as he arrived at Chelmsford Crown Court for sentencing for what he did to his ex-girlfriend and fellow reality television ‘personality’ Georgia Harrison on 2nd August 2020.
On arrival, Bear – who has also been required to sign the sex offender register and given a restraining order not to contact his victim for five years and also required to keep police updated with his address and whereabouts for ten years – filmed a segment subsequently shared on Twitter by his current squeeze, the self-declared “I’m Jess, your new favourite horny blonde” Jessica Smith.
In a 1:43-minute clip filmed by dimwitted dolly bird Smith and shared with her 117,600 followers, brain dead berk Bear delusionally declared:
“You see in this country, I think the saying is: ‘Innocent until proven guilty’ and unfortunately, through this whole turn of events, through the adverse media which has been printed and written about me, all they see me as this monster. So, how can you possibly give a fair trial just to adverse media?”
Adding a completely currently unproven as either true or false allegation, Bear continued:
“Secondly, at the very beginning, before the jury was picked, they were asked a series of questions and one person should be accountable for contempt of court. Hopefully, I can speak to the police about this and give them all the evidence.”
“You see, if you’ve got one bad apple, the whole jury should be slung out in my opinion.”
Attempting to very predictably play the Prince Harry “mental health issues” excuse, the convicted sex offender blubbed:
“And, do you know what, the only good thing that’s come from this whole situation is that I got a psychiatric report written about me and they’ve told me that I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, depression and anxiety. So, hopefully I can get some treatment and some help, maybe some talking therapy. I just need some help really because going through mental health, I live through this every single day.”
Ending in a Spare-esque whinge, Bear concluded:
“I just hope I can speak to the news or something about what’s happened… I just hope I can give, just my side of the story. An honest, just my side of the story and hopefully it just comes out and it gives just a different opinion on me and hopefully we can spin the narrative… I can see everyone has already made their minds up about the narrative.”
Approached then by members of the press, in videos filmed by others including news presenter Dan Walker, Bear was seen to tell Smith “just keep recording babe” as he was asked by a journalist: “Do you wish to apologise to Georgia Harrison?”
Ignoring questions from her and others, the noxious nitwit continued:
“There’s no point me even answering any questions. As you can see everyone, this is it. Fingers crossed it goes well today and maybe I get some sort of justice from this whole situation. Thank you so much.”
Outrageously, then, after noticing a clearly very young female ‘fan’ standing amongst the press pack, Bear summoned her over by asking: “Do you want a picture? Do you want a selfie? Come then, come over. I’m a man of the people” just as another journalist stated: “You’ve been called a self-obsessed show-off. You’ll do anything to be front page. Do you have any response to that?”
He then gave the V-sign and proceeded to ask another female journalist dressed in a red coat: “What made you dress in red today?” before bizarrely singing: “Lady in red is talking to me, cheek to cheek, I wanna know why she’s by my side, my lady in red, lady in red, she’s talking to me, cheek to cheek. I wanna know why she’s by my side.”
“I love you [Stephen Bear]. I’ll always be by your side, stay strong babe. The truth will come out… You never had a fair trial.”
“Through thick and thin my love. I’ll see you soon.”
In a weepy whine of Meghan Markle-esque qualities, she then concluded last night:
“What event the point anymore? I’ve lost half of my heart. I feel empty.”
Here is an example of a most contemptible pair of grifters, a pair of grifters far worse even than ‘MeGain’ and her drip. Here is a couple incapable of realising the error of their ways. Shame on Stephen Bear and shame on Jessica Smith; long may this cretinous convicted criminal rot.

Pictured Top – Profiteering from personal appearances and sick sex tapes will have to pause for Stephen Bear for 21 months now he’s hit the clink; he even mocked such by dressing up in an orange jump suit.
On Twitter this afternoon, Matthew Steeples asked: “Which of these grubby money grabbing grifters is the worst of the lot?” He gave the options of Stephen Bear, Jessica Smith, Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex and accompanied this with the hashtags: #StephenBear #JessicaSmith #DumbPrince #DukeOfSussex #MeghanMarkle #DuchessOfSussex #Meghan #greed #realitytv #TV #television #BigBrother #Netflix #Spare #scum #vile #grifter #grifters.Victim Georgia Harrison, speaking outside the court, stated: “I am happy and relieved that this matter is finally over. Today’s sentence is a vindication of what I’ve been put through and sends a clear message that the police and the courts take this matter very seriously. I want to let all other victims of this crime know that I stand in solidarity with them and I have absolutely no regrets on waiving my anonymity. I hope that this puts anyone off committing this sort of crime and I hope for anyone else who has been a victim of it [that] it gives them some sort of justice.” Hannah von Dadelszen, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS East of England, added: “I want to commend Georgia Harrison for the bravery and determination she has shown throughout this case. By contrast, Stephen Bear showed a complete lack of remorse by never accepting responsibility for his abusive behaviour, even going so far as to place the blame on Ms Harrison. Although she lives a public life, Georgia Harrison has the right to privacy. But that was taken away by Bear to make money in the most egregious way.”In the past, Bear has been called out as a conman after running fake competitions. He’s also been accused of animal abuse and after he was sent down on Friday, he turned and waved from the dock and dimwittedly declared: “Have a good evening. Enjoy the weekend everyone.”
When you consider how Stephen Bear is acting outside court and the crime he committed… it is hard to get your head around the person who is delighted to get a selfie with him #TheCultOfCelebrity 🤢pic.twitter.com/2Cm4sCbYdK
On Friday, television presenter Dan Walker shared a tweet with his 792,200 followers on Twitter. It read: “When you consider how Stephen Bear is acting outside court and the crime he committed… It is hard to get your head around the person who is delighted to get a selfie with him.”
Wastrel wazzock Stephen Bear’s NOT so ‘finest’ quotes…
On why he thought he shouldn’t have had to pay attention to lockdown rules:
“I am God. Rules do not apply to me. I have super human powers and I am part of the Illuminati.”
“Everyone else should stay at home and not go M&S and buy some food. They should sit at home and starve.”
About those he “claimed” owed him money:
“Yeah, so this one’s called the Monday rant. I’m owed a lot of money from three different people. First one is Rustlers, where’s my £3,000 you owe me? It’s been five months.”
“Second one, Good For Nothing, you owe me 16 grand, my contract isn’t finished until April, you owe me £16,000. Where is it?”
“And the third one is for you Charlotte, listen, reply back to the emails. I haven’t received 1p from the business which I started with my money. Okay?”
“Tell your dad to reply to the f**king emails, do you understand? Make sure he gets back to him because what’s going on at the minute is b******s and it’s embarrassing.
“Do you understand? Because I’ve had enough now. That’s the Monday rant over, I want all my f**king money from all three of you, do you understand?”
“I’m here to find someone new… Are all your minges shaved? I’m just saying, clean nails, clean minges.”
On being arrested for “on suspicion of disclosing private sexual photographs or films without consent with intent to cause distress, harassment, and obstructing a police officer”:
“Where do I f**king start? I’m back from Dubai and I’ve actually got a criminal case of my head.”
“While I was in the police cell they have gone into my house, smashed open the door. I’ve had to get everything fixed – they’ve busted my front gate too.”
“Obstructing a police officer. What do you reckon I did? Do you reckon I got in his way? I think voyeurism because I’ve been to Dubai and I’ve gone on a voyage.”
In January 2021, ‘The Steeple Times’ made “tattooed twerp” Stephen Bear its ‘Moron of the Moment’ after we decided the “shameless scumbag sex pest and dog abuser” had shown himself as “the finest example of all that is wrong in once Great Britain.” With his jailing last week, he has now sunk to an even lower level.Naked audacity – Mr Bear – who used to be a roofer and probably should have just stuck to playing with tiles – is clearly beyond vain and self-obsessed. His naked photos and videos of both himself and with others, however, illustrate him as nothing other than a revolting scumbag and total waste of space.The days of Rolls-Royces (borrowed, not actually his, please note) for this grifter are now over; the equally vacuous Jessica Smith might do best to simply now walk away. Being as pathetic and pointless as her “lost half of her heart,” that does, however, seem unlikely. Shame on her in the same way that the feckless fool Ferne McCann (also from Essex and also involved in ‘reality television’) continued to pile misery on the victims of her acid chucking baby dada Arthur Collins.
Matthew Steeples examines whether the recent suicide by gunshot of “the envy of Wall Street” billionaire Thomas H. Lee was in any way linked to a clear association with Bill Clinton and a possible one with Jeffrey Epstein
Thomas H. Lee did not appear in the 95-page infamous ‘Little Black Book’ associated with Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. Now, however, after his apparent ‘suicide’ this billionaire financier has not only described as “considerate, generous and unpretentious” and a “constant presence” in her life by Hillary Clinton, but also as having “links” to Jeffrey Epstein.
Sparking rumours of yet another example of the ‘Clinton Body Count’ – the much disputed conspiracy theory that as many as fifty people with close links to the Clintons have died in nefarious circumstances – Stephen M. Lepore for the DailyMail.com shared a photograph of Lee at a New York shindig with another billionaire named Robert Kraft and a couple named Glenn and Eva Dubin. Swedish Ms Andersson-Dubin dated Jeffrey Epstein prior to his 2008 conviction and continued to “socialise with [him] after his time in jail,” Bloomberg reported in 2019.
The 78-year-old Harvard graduate and founder of Lee Equity Partners and Thomas H. Lee Partners was best known himself for having bought the soft drinks brand Snapple Beverages in 1992 for £112 million ($135 million, €127 million or درهم496 million) and sold it for a 334% profit to Quaker Oats for £1.4 billion ($1.7 billion, €1.6 billion or درهم6.2 billion) in 1994.
Known also for being an “avid art collector,” father of five Lee also served as a trustee of Lincoln Center, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Brandeis University, Cardozo Law School at Yeshiva University, Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, Harvard University, the Intrepid Museum Foundation, NYU Medical Center, and Rockefeller University.
In a statement currently opening the homepage of their website, Lee Equity Partners shared:
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Founder and Chairman, Thomas H. Lee. He was a great partner and wonderful friend whose vision will continue to influence us for many years to come.”
“Tom’s determination, commitment and strategic vision will continue to inspire all of us at Lee Equity Partners. He was a leader, a friend, a partner, and our mentor. We know he will be proud as the firm continues on, with strength. We will work every day to meet the high standards he has set for us and the entire industry. On behalf of our employees, management teams and investment partners, we mourn his loss and extend our deepest sympathies to his family.”
Clearly illustrating that something might be amiss in the financial community, a member of the Wall Street Oasis forum last week remarked of Lee’s death:
“Self-inflicted gunshot wound. Wonder if he knows something about the future…”
Another added: “Perhaps another private equity guy with Epstein connections about to get exposed.”
Going further on Monday, Fortune shared an article with the headline: “Thomas H. Lee’s sudden death shocks partners at his $3 billion private investment firm – with a $1 billion fundraise in the balance.”
For the publication, Dawn Lim and Amanda Gordon added:
“Since then, Lee Equity’s executives have been forced to confront a difficult moment. In at least one conversation, they discussed the importance of reassuring clients that there’s no connection between his death and Lee Equity’s financial health or fund performance.”
“Lee’s death has ushered in a new level of public attention for a shop that manages £2.5 billion ($3 billion, €2.8 billion or درهم11 billion) and doesn’t have a formal media-relations team. It also comes at a critical juncture for the 40-person firm, which is raising a £833 million ($X billion, €942 million or درهم3/7 billion) fund just as investors have become increasingly reluctant to part with their cash amid volatile markets. The firm has raised the vast majority of that fund, other people said.”
“The suicide also presents a test for key partners Mark Gormley, Benjamin Hochberg, Yoo Jin Kim and Joseph Rotberg. They’re among eight executives who climbed the ranks to take bigger leadership roles and steered the firm into financial services and health care.”
“Some investors have taken comfort in the fact that succession is largely complete, people said. They pushed for the firm to spread its wealth more evenly among partners and had sway in the years after the financial crisis, when buyout firms struggled to raise new money. Lee’s cut of the profits was less than 10% for the firm’s last fund.”
“In recent days, several institutions extended condolences and provided expressions of support to the firm. Investors such as Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. committed money to the new fund. The firm’s backers have said they hope Lee’s death doesn’t rattle new investors.”
Returning to the story of the mystery surrounding the supposed ‘suicide’ also by gun shot of Bill Clinton aide turned Jeffrey Epstein associate and wannabe “international deal-maker” Mark Middleton, speaking exclusively to The Steeple Times this morning, Shaun Attwood provided comment to follow up by our two articles this week by Kirby Sommers and Matthew Steeples. The author of Who Killed Epstein? Prince Andrew or Bill Clinton? shared:
“Yet another ‘suicide’ in a long line of suicides #ClintonBodyCount. No surprises here when it comes to the Machiavellian behaviour of the Clinton crime family who’ve left a trail of corpses behind them from Arkansas when Bill was governor to the White House. It is a trail that continues to this day with Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel.”
Separately, in developing news about the possible move of the “simple shooting party” bestie of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell that is Prince Andrew to Frogmore Cottage and possibly taking over Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle’s home, Matthew Steeples and Shaun Attwood will be live at 7pm GMT on YouTube tonight to discuss this in the fourth episode of Meghan Markle Expose. Follow the link below to tune in.

Pictured Top – Former U.S. President Bill Clinton enjoying a jolly on the golf course with Thomas H. Lee and enjoying a bit of a bash at the White House with the sex trafficking fiends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Was the suicide of billionaire friend of Bill Clinton and financier Thomas H. Lee in any way connected to matters about financiers linked to Jeffrey Epstein?” He accompanied the feature with the hashtags #ThomasHLee #ThomasLee #BillClinton #HillaryClinton #ClintonBodyCount #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #EvaAnderson. As of 11:30am on Friday 3rd March, 50% of respondents favoured the option: “YES; Eva Andersson etc.”
To watch ‘Meghan Markle Expose – Part 4’ click this YouTube link. The 1 hour 15 minute episode first airs at 7pm GMT on Friday 3rd March 2023. Issues covered primarily focus on the ‘FORGXIT’ saga of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from Frogmore Cottage, but there is also discussion of Prince Andrew and his grifting wife, Sarah, Duchess of York – a woman who has still never confirmed if she repaid the loans she so disgracefully took from the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.Mr Lee’s body was found in a bathroom at his office at 767 Fifth Avenue, New York at around 11am on 23rd February. The 78-year-old was pronounced dead shortly after. A “family friend and spokesperson” named Michael Sitrick later shared: “While the world knew him as one of the pioneers in the private equity business and a successful businessman, we knew him as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, sibling, friend and philanthropist who always put others’ needs before his own.” Just prior to the time of his passing, ‘Forbes’ estimated his worth at £1.7 billion ($2 billion, €1.9 billion or درهم7.3 billion).The now deceased billionaire (second left) partying with the billionaire businessman CEO of the Kraft Group Bob Kraft, the billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin and his “allegedly racy” wife Dr Eva Andersson-Dubin. Back in April 2022, ‘The Steeple Times’ featured the story of neighbours of the “decidedly dubious Dubins” slashing the price of their Upper East Side apartment from £25.1 million to £21.2 million. Of this news, a New York realtor told us: “1040 Fifth Avenue certainly has a perky past, but whilst Jackie Kennedy and Generoso Pope Jr. were unlikely bedfellows when they both lived there at the same time, the stench of the Epstein-Maxwell connections of Glenn, Eva and Celina Dubin is actually very off-putting to buyers. Who on earth would want to live next to them? It’s no wonder no one is biting-at-the-bit to snap up the apartment currently on offer and I can only suggest the sellers perhaps put off marketing until these two social misfits move off elsewhere.”In February 2021, ‘The Steeple Times’ shared an exclusive story courtesy of information supplied by the crusading author of ‘Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography’ Kirby Sommers concerning Glenn and Eva Dubin. In it, we featured pictures of the vile paedophile Jeffrey Epstein with one of the couple’s daughters on his lap on his notorious sex trafficking private jet. We titled the article: ‘PLANE PERVERTED.’The house Mr Lee – who went by the self-assigned nickname ‘Tomcat’ as he believed he had “nine different lives” – shared with his second wife Ann Tenenbaum in East Hampton, New York. Of it, the ‘New York Post’ observed: “‘He was regarded as having one of the most admired houses in the Hamptons – Bill and Hillary Clinton were frequent guests, they would regularly stay there,’ the source told ‘The Post.’ The Clintons famously holed up at Lee’s East Hampton pad after the bruising 2008 Democratic primary. ‘He was a regular at Maidstone golf club,’ also, the source noted.”Both Hillary Clinton and her husband attended the New York funeral service for Brooklyn born Thomas Haskell Lee (27th March 1944 – 23rd February 2023) on Monday 1st March 2023 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Remarking, Hillary Clinton commented: “Tom was a constant presence. “We’ve shared births and weddings and anniversaries, state dinners at the White House, lively parties from New York City to Martha’s Vineyard to the Hamptons during good times and tough ones. We’re here expressing our gratitude for years as friends, as colleagues and certainly as family members for his long, successful life.” Mr Lee leaves five children – Jesse, Zach, Nathan, Robbie and Rosalie as well as Ann Tenenbaum, the second wife he married in 1996.Ghislaine Maxwell with Jeffrey Epstein and President Bill Clinton at the White House on 29th September 1993.

Crusading author Kirby Sommers follows up on the theories surrounding the mystery of the ‘murder v suicide’ death of Clinton-Epstein associate Mark Middleton
When looking for clues as to why Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein associate Mark Middleton – whose clearly strange demise featured in The Steeple Times earlier this week – suddenly decided to commit ‘suicide’ (in quotes because I personally believe he was murdered), I place it under what I refer to as my “Arkansas lenses.”
When Bill Clinton became Attorney General from 1977 to 1979 and then Governor of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 (and then again from 1983 to 1992), he was already involved with shady men and shady deals.
Mena, the small airfield in Arkansas, had been associated with the Washington-sponsored guns for drugs under the CIAs multiple covert operations. The most well-known connection is to the Iran-Contra affair; although Mena itself became infamous when it made into the Hollywood film American Made starring Tom Cruise in the role of drug-smuggler Barry Seal.
Mark Middleton belonged to the trusted group of men Clinton brought with him from Arkansas to Washington, D.C. During my research of Clinton’s time in Arkansas, state and local police were alleged to be corrupt answering only to him. There were consequences for those who went against him.
Middleton kept Clinton’s secrets – extra-marital affairs and other less talked about matters. This is evidenced by the fact that he is the person who gave Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell access to the White House seven out of the 17 times they are known to have visited the residence. Middleton also flew with Clinton, Epstein, Maxwell, and a couple of unidentified females aboard the now infamous ‘Lolita Express’ private jet.
Did Middleton know too much? Clearly, the answer is yes.
However, Middleton left the White House in 1995. This is where things take a turn, because while he was attempting to become an international dealmaker, he found himself suddenly barred and without access unless he obtained high-level approval. Formally, Middleton was the aid to presidential advisor Thomas F. ‘Mack’ McLarty. McLarty is one of Clinton’s oldest friends having attended the same kindergarten class in Hope, Arkansas.
While McLarty gave Middleton the bad news – it really came from Clinton.
After leaving his job, Middleton was initially allowed to continue using his business cards, had a voice-mail message on the White House telephone system and met with business clients at the dining room in the White House.
Clinton has been known to accept gratuities in exchange for his patronage. Did Middleton forget to thank him properly?
With his dreams of becoming a wheeler-dealer scratched, Middleton moved back to Arkansas and began a family owned air conditioning company.
It is my belief that were it not for the intense publicity the Epstein and Maxwell case received that Middleton would be alive today. After all, it had been a long time since he had accompanied Clinton anywhere.
Suddenly, however, the long-forgotten photos of Clinton shaking hands with Epstein and his lady-friend Maxwell were in newspapers around the world and his name was prominently displayed as the person who gave Epstein access.
Too many people, including Clinton, have much to hide about their involvement with Epstein.
On 7th May 2022, the 59-year-old Middleton was found hanging from a tree with an extension cord around his neck and a wound to the chest. His death was ruled a suicide. Was this a message to others to stay silent?

25th February 1993.
29th September 1993 – Epstein attended a White House party along with Ghislaine Maxwell.
17th December 1993.
21st December 1993.

The since exposed as paedophile pair were admitted on that occasion by Mark Middleton. Allegations that Clinton and Maxwell had sexual liaisons that became a full-blown affair have abounded, but remain unconfirmed by either party.Since croaked paedophile and Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein with President Clinton. The pair travelled together on multiple occasions and clearly shared a mutual liking for young girls also. The former POTUS was most certainly advised about the derelict and deviant actions of the nefarious former taxi driver turned financier, yet conveniently chose to ignore such and to instead accept the dirty devil’s dollar.Questions remain as to what involvement President Bill Clinton had with Mark Middleton in the years since he left office. Was this death a case of a man who knew too much being added to the ‘Clinton body count’ list?
The “mysterious” death of Clinton-Epstein associate Mark Middleton may have been ruled suicide, but rumours that he was murdered are clearly not going away
“I’m not saying the Clintons kill people, I’m saying a lot of people around the Clintons turn up dead” remarked early Bill Clinton associate turned critic Larry Nichols after five people associated with them died in bizarre circumstances between 22nd June and 2nd August 2016.
Now, in spite of Zachary Stieber of The Epoch Times last week revealing that the death of the Bill Clinton aide Mark Middleton has now been officially ruled a suicide, suggestions that he was instead murdered are now again being recirculated by some with grave suspicions about this odd case.
59-year-old father of two Middleton – who was responsible for admitting Jeffrey Epstein to the White House on seven of the seventeen occasions the since croaked paedophile visited between 1993 and 1995 – is described on Wikipedia as having been an “Arkansas business leader, mutual friend of Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein, and former finance director for Clinton’s presidential campaign and later special assistant to Clinton.” He was found dead on 7th May 2022 at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, an hour west of Little Rock.
Before he died, Middleton, who was also assistant to Clinton chief of staff Thomas F. ‘Mack’ McLarty, is said to have texted his wife, Rhea. His messages supposedly told her that he had found “the perfect place for a nap in the sun.” He added: “You are a great mom and wide babe… Please be happy today and get some sun. It will make you feel better. I love you.”
“He had a gunshot wound to the chest and an extension cord wrapped around his neck. The cord was tied to the limb of a tree directly above his body.”
“Upon searching Middleton’s vehicle, officials found three boxes of buckshot and a gun case, but no weapon.”
Going further and adding immediate mystery that aroused suspicion, the Daily Mail emphasised the “no sign of a weapon” story whilst Clinton.news argued the death to be “baffling.”
Middleton – who is known to have flown on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet on several occasions – left the White House in February 1995 and most recently worked for his family business in Little Rock. Of him, the DailyMail.com’s Daniel Bates alleged: “[He] was accused of setting himself up as an international deal-maker, exactly the kind of person that would appeal to Epstein… Middleton’s life in recent years was a world away from the power he enjoyed in the 1990s.”
Adding fuel to the fire of conspiracy last week, Bates added that the death scene was “grisly” and the method of death “mysterious.” He argued:
“The sheriff’s report into Mark Middleton’s mysterious death raises more questions than answers as it rules he died by suicide – despite no sign of the weapon that killed him.”
“Release of the report was held up after members of his family petitioned a judge. They were worried that pictures from the gory scene would be made public. The judge eventually ruled that details could be released but photographs could not.”
Middleton’s bizarre end continues to be discussed online. On the Wikipedia page devoted to the “Clinton body count conspiracy theory,” is a statement that reads: “The coroner’s report ruled the death a suicide even though he was tied to a tree and no weapon was found near the body.”
Countering this point, The Poynter Institute’s Politifact – which is funded by amongst others the billionaire Charles Koch and which was created by the Tampa Bay Times newspaper in 2007 – last week observed: “The family was ‘shocked’ by conspiracy theories that emerged Middleton’s death… We rate claims that a Clinton aide was murdered False.”

Republican President Donald Trump fell for his charms also and once even had a party with him where the only guests were them and 28 girls. Apologists for Trump make hay out of their claim that Trump distanced himself subsequently yet rumours abound that his current wife, Melania, was potentially trafficked on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet.

Noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell complains that prison guards are “screwing” with her; she should be reminded she was the one who has been convicted after “screwing” her victims
Ghislaine Maxwell (AKA ‘prisoner 02879-509’) used to enjoy ‘screwing’ the young girls that she used to pick up to sex traffic to Jeffrey Epstein and her other creepy cronies. Now, the worm has turned and this noxious nonce is allegedly getting a ‘screwing’ by prison guards at FCI Tallahassee, the supposedly “cushy country club-esque” prison where she deservedly will rot for the rest of her twenty-year sentence.
Yesterday in the DailyMail.com, Daniel Bates shared a supposed “exclusive” in which a “prison consultancy company” founder named Holli Coulman told him that guards are “not easy” on Maxwell and that she has been forced to “keep close to her pod mates.”
Going further, Coulman, the founder of Pink Lady Consultants and a woman “who has a number of clients serving time inside the same prison,” added:
“She rarely associates out of that group. I am told that the guards like screwing with her by shining their lights at night, clanging their keys and talking really loud and derogatory at her. I know that the guards at night are not easy on her when they come by her bunk and check that she’s there.”
“They don’t like her because of her entitled attitude. I’m sure it’s something she can’t change as she has a different demeanor than let’s say an inmate serving time for drugs. Her upbringing was upper class.”
Clearly not content with buckling down and getting on with her sentence silently, mucky madam Maxwell has not stopped moaning since her arrest on 2nd July 2020 in Bradford, New Hampshire.
Earlier, in April that year, the mendacious madam’s family complained she was being deprived of sleep, her hair was falling out and that she “was being treated worse than Hannibal Lecter.” The Metropolitan Detention Center responded to these clear falsehoods by declaring: “[We have] not observed the defendant experience any noticeable hair loss… Most recently, when the defendant was weighed last week, her weight was 137.5 pounds… [Maxwell wears an eye mask and] regularly sleeps through night-time wellness checks.”
In the time since, “boob groper” Maxwell has had her PR peddlers out complaining also. In May 2022, Ian Maxwell bleated: “There are nasty Internet trolls out there continuing the lynch mob against her… [Her] once-close friends have only disowned her because of cancel culture” whilst quite rightly, at sentencing in June 2023, United States attorney Damian Williams observed:
“Ghislaine Maxwell sexually exploited young girls for years. It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of her crimes and the harm she caused… The lenient sentence the defendant seeks would send the message that there is one system of laws for the rich and powerful, and another set for everyone else.”
“Maxwell was an adult who made her own choices… If anything stands out from the defendant’s sentencing submission, it is her complete failure to address her offense conduct and her utter lack of remorse. Instead of showing even a hint of acceptance of responsibility, the defendant makes a desperate attempt to cast blame wherever else she can.”
“Moreover, even now, at sentencing, the defendant has shown no acceptance of responsibility, and her submission fails to even mention, much less accept responsibility for, the harm she has caused her victims. Instead, her entire submission is an effort to cast herself as a victim: of her father, of Epstein, of the media, of prosecutors, of the Bureau of Prisons.”
Illustrating further that the ‘bestie’ of Prince Andrew had no concept of accepting what she had done and that all that this “remorseless” woman ever does is moan and groan, Williams added:
“At bottom, the defendant’s complaints about jail seem to come down to the vast gulf between the conditions of her confinement and the defendant’s lived experience up until her arrest and detention on July 2, 2020.”
“Until July 2020, the defendant spent her entire life living in extraordinary luxury. Her childhood and adolescence were filled with wealth and privilege. That access to wealth continued into adulthood when the defendant found a benefactor in Epstein, who provided her with millions of dollars and invited her to share in his luxurious lifestyle of mansions, house staff, private chefs, and private planes.”
“After leaving that relationship, the defendant remained exceptionally wealthy, residing in palatial estates and owning multiple homes. It is no wonder, then, that she found jail jarring. Going from being waited on hand and foot to incarceration is undoubtedly a shocking and unpleasant experience.”
“The massive difference between the defendant’s prior life and the life of an inmate may feel extreme to the defendant, but when compared to the experiences of other pretrial detainees in this District, her experience is by no means so shocking as to merit a downward variance.”
“If anything, the defendant’s privilege remained intact while at the MDC, as demonstrated by the exceptional benefits she received. No other inmate received the kind of access to discovery and to counsel that the defendant did. The defendant had her own shower, her own television, her own desktop computer, her own laptop, and her own space to spend the day outside of her cell.”
“The defendant was able to get any concerns, no matter how small, immediately brought to the attention of MDC legal counsel through her attorneys. Comparing that treatment to SAMS is out of touch with reality.”
“In many respects, the defendant’s conditions of confinement were preferential and more beneficial than those experienced by other inmates… At bottom, the defendant does not like jail.”
“… Finally, it bears emphasizing that the defendant has told blatant lies about her conditions of confinement. She repeatedly claims to have suffered significant hair loss, but anyone who has seen the defendant in court can easily see that is not true.”
“She repeatedly claims to have lost an extreme amount of weight, but, as noted above, BOP medical records make clear that she has not. The defendant is perfectly healthy, with a full head of hair.”
“The investigation uncovered that the defendant committed terrible crimes, and that is what this case is about. The Court should see the defendant’s attack on the Government’s motives for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to shift the blame for her own crimes and distract from the gravity of her offense conduct.”

Pictured Top – Ghislaine Maxwell liked ‘screwing’ around with the FBI and when caught had ludicrously wrapped her mobile phone in tinfoil (the trick, by the way does not work); in happier times she lived-it-up drinking Krug and fine wines with the likes of Mick Jagger; those days for this wicked wastrel woman are long gone and she now gets the punishment she deserves instead.
Moaning Maxwell and her soppy siblings have regularly suggested her conditions to be akin to those of Hannibal Lecter. Sadly for her, there’s no Chianti let alone Krug on tap.That this paedophile groomer was recently allowed to go on Jeremy Kyle’s TalkTV television show – courtesy of assistance from her PR peddler Daphne Barak and no doubt her old mate Rupert Murdoch, the channel’s owner – is frankly outrageous. It is not this evil monster that deserves a voice; it is, instead, her victims.
The Privileges The Pension Pot Plunderer’s Deviant Daughter Once Enjoyed…
Fast cars… In June 2019, in her last known public appearance, lived it up with Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason’s wife by driving from London to Monte Carlo in the Cash & Rocket ‘charity’ car rally. Ironically, the rally was meant to raise funds for victims of sex trafficking; a great pity that the organiser, Julie Brangstrup, clearly was someone who didn’t bother with due diligence and allowed a woman who’d already paid compensation to one of the victims of her sex trafficking activities to participate alongside Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury.Private planes… No more jetting around will be possible for Jeffrey Epstein’s enabler until at least 17th July 2037 as this is grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell’s earliest possible parole date. Instead, the only private jets she’ll see are the ones flying over FCI Tallahassee as she jogs around the jail’s running track.Floating gin palaces… Enya’s song ‘Orinoco Flow’ playing on her radio – if she opts to buy one off the prison commissary list – is about as close as this deviant will get to sailing away also. Meanwhile, the yacht that her daddy Robert Maxwell ‘fell’ off on 5th November 1991 was rebranded as ‘Lady Mona K (1993 to 2018) and has since been ‘Dancing Hare’ since 2018. It is ironically owned by the ex-wife of the disgraced media baron’s rival and now counts Anna Murdoch Mann as its mistress.
The ‘Privileges’ The Convicted Sex Offender Has Had Since Being Incarcerated…
On Twitter in April 2021, crusading author of ‘Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography’Kirby Sommers illustrated how privileged Jeffrey Epstein’s sidekick’s pre-trial prison conditions were. Whilst most prisoners make do with a bucket and gruel, the mucky madam had access to “perks in jail” that included both a desktop and laptop computer from which she can send and receive emails, had a television and a telephone in her cell and a private bathroom also. She was the sole inmate on the second floor of the jail, was fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and was allowed more time to communicate with her legal representatives than other inmates. Talk about a hard life!
Mugshot of half-an-earless criminal Dale Poppleton goes viral on social media; he’s got a look of Van Gogh meets Evander Holyfield, yet it’s still to be heard what his latest crimes actually are
The image, which has unsurprisingly gone viral on social media channels including Facebook and Twitter, was accompanied by the caption: “Have you seen Dale Poppleton? Wanted in connection with a serious offence in Bradford, could be in the North of England,” but it was the press release that it linked to that truly amused.
In it, the force shared a glaringly obvious observation about this 41-year-old individual. They ever so lackadaisically added: “[Mr Poppleton] is very distinctive due to the fact that he has half an ear (right side).”
Going further of a 6’1” tall, half-an-earless man previously labelled an “accomplished criminal” in 2020 when “he was sentenced to three years and nine months in jail for burglary,” the MailOnline’s Matt Powell mused: “During the trial Bradford Crown Court heard how Poppleton had 19 previous convictions for 99 offences, many of them for matters of dishonesty.”
Finishing their press release, West Yorkshire Police concluded:
“He is thought to have connections to not only the Bradford area but the North of England. He was last seen in East Yorkshire. Extensive enquiries have been carried out to locate Poppleton but he is deliberately evading Police. Anyone who sees Poppleton is asked not to approach him.”
The force failed to mention whether or not they are in possession of the missing piece from Poppleton’s ear. In 1997, after Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight, the former later apologised. In 2013, speaking to The Sunday Times, Tyson remarked: “I see Evander every now and again. We actually did an ESPN commercial together, and I gave him his ear back in formaldehyde.”

The worst ever ‘famous face’ mugshots…
In December 2016, Swiss born ‘Bride of Wildenstein’ Jocelyn Wildenstein (née Périsset) got her claws out and stuck them into her on-off lover Lloyd Klein at her apartment in Trump Tower, New York. She was arrested “after gouging her boyfriend’s face with her nails and stabbing him twice in the chest with her scissors.” She subsequently appeared in court later in the day charged with felony assault charges in the second degree and ‘The Steeple Times’ later reported: “She [was] accused of inflicting injuries with a weapon against 49-year old Canadian couturier Lloyd Klein and allegedly poured hot wax over him, ‘went for his face with her nails’ and ‘grabbed some scissors and stabbed them twice into his chest.’ The cat-like woman is to said to have been provoked into the violent frenzy after Klein allegedly failed to ‘pay her enough attention’ after an evening meal, according to an unnamed source who spoke with the ‘MailOnline.’”‘Hot mugshot guy’ Jeremy Meeks went viral on social media after people claimed the image taken after his July 2014 arrest was suggested to be “showing his smouldering model good looks.” This violent criminal got two Hollywood agents, given deals with big brands and subsequently got engaged to and had a brat with the repugnant ratbag Sir Philip Green’s fat pudding of a daughter. The couple unsurprisingly subsequently split up and whilst Meeks lived-it-up with other women, Chloe Green got herself up-the-duff by another geezer. Classy.Since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein didn’t show anyone contrition when snapped after his arrest on 6th July 2019 by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jeresey on sex trafficking charges.
