Deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly played a key role in one of the largest known sexual blackmail operations connected to Russian intelligence, according to Daily Mail.
Journalists calculated that newly released documents in the Epstein case contain 1,056 references to Russia and Vladimir Putin, and 9,629 references to Moscow.
Citing intelligence sources, the British outlet reported on February 1 that Epstein’s private social network and parties were instrumental in collecting compromising material on high-profile Western political and business figures.

The materials obtained were allegedly funneled to Russian intelligence agencies. The report asserts that the operation involved Ghislaine Maxwell—currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking—who had ties to her father, Robert Maxwell, a businessman long suspected of cooperating with the KGB and Mossad in the 1970s.

The report references declassified US Department of Justice files and emails from Epstein’s archive. One email, dated September 11, 2011, mentions coordination for a possible meeting between Epstein and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. A person identified only as “Igor” was reportedly helping schedule a trip to Russia in mid-September.
Another email, sent in 2014 by Japanese entrepreneur Joi Ito, discusses a potential joint meeting involving Epstein, Putin, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. However, according to a follow-up email, the plan was canceled after the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 by Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine. Ito wrote: “Now, after the plane crash, it seems like a bad idea.”

Messages from Epstein’s files suggest that he claimed he could provide valuable intelligence on then-President Donald Trump ahead of Trump’s 2018 summit with Putin in Helsinki. Daily Mail does not confirm whether such materials were ever delivered or used.
The investigation also highlights Epstein’s apparent long-standing ties to Russian organized crime, which may have facilitated his ability to transport large numbers of women from Russia. Intelligence officials interviewed by Daily Mail believe these relationships were central to his operational capabilities and possibly served as leverage over him.

The source for this is the Daily Mail, a right-wing tabloid known for low reliability and conspiracy theories. References to it are even banned on Wikipedia. Let’s avoid becoming left QAnon.

Edit: and the OP is quite possibly a bad actor: https://lemmy.zip/post/57945099/24280649
I think the following is clear
- Epstein was a pimp
- he procured children and women to be used in awful, highly illegal acts
- he recorded these acts, using the information to extort and blackmail the rich into various schemes and scams, not to mention for information
- this explains how his net worth / wealth jumped several times, especially when he was young and somehow made millions with no clear explanation, at the time, as to where he got the money from.
- we have a huge amount of information from the victims that he used girls as currency
- considering the circles that Epstein, the people he was involved in, including heads of state, former heads of state, politicians, factional powerbrokers, scientists, actors, celebrities and a multitude of oligarchs.
These are the circles intelligence agencies walk in. But who he was involved with is probably gonna be harder to work out.
But who he was involved with is probably gonna be harder to work out.
Damn, who would he be involved with? Who who who? If only there were clues…
Hey, just apropos of nothing, anyone know who Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad was?
I mean, Mossad agents repeatedly stated at his apartment, and his main aide was the daughter of the most famous Israeli agent in history.
Agreed. Considering he was in contact with several high ranking officials of different states, it’s mostly speculation who exactly he was working for at this point.
I once got a temp ban I can’t remember if it was here or Reddit for pointing out that this website is trash and tabloid bullshit
still is.
“Jeffrey Epstein wearing a cap with a red Soviet star.”
It’s a chinese hat lmao.
according to Daily Mail
So, nothing from a credible source yet.
“Hey you stupid fucking libs, what if Epstein = Russia? You like that? Idiots.”
He advised PUTIN how to handle trump, thats why Trump looked so disheveled around 2019-2020 after speaking with putin, especially right after he lost the election.
TIL: USA is a Puppet state controlled by Russia and Israel. Change your fucking Anthem, it is not “Land of the free”, it’s “Land of the puppets”.
Who would have thought that having money as your sole and highest priority in your society would give rise to a bunch of traitors willing to sell out their own country?
So basically we can derive that the Lemmy devs and the tankie trinity is just a zionist Epstein op
To me, obviously the big winner here is Putin, who now must have the biggest blackmail filing cabinet in history.
they likely had it since 2016, but when epstein started advising, he probably got more krompomat, especially on other GOP, and billionares.
Yep. Russian. Totally not Mossad.
In that email about Trump blowing Bubba, the actual point was to ask whether Putin had the picture.
And it was asked so casually that it seemed like it was the normal course of things to leak incriminating pictures to the Kremlin.
Goddamn lol. This dude was fucked man
Why are there so many “but IsRaEl” comments in here?
Cause this is a “look, squirrel!” article. Learn to look for stuff like this. Source being The Daily Mail is a prime example.
Your comment is a “look, squirrel!” attempt, which is called a red herring btw. We already know the daily mail is shit.
You’re not seriously gonna “That’s interesting” everyone about Epstein ties to Israel, are you?
Daily Mail attributes its findings…
The source is the notoriously untruthful Daily Mail so take this with a big pinch of salt.
Yeah, but sometimes those are the only kinds of publications that will print stories that the standard media won’t touch, even if they’re true. For all their pearl clutching over Epstein, the mainstream media focuses on the mildest scandals. They never touch the really salacious stuff that would blow people’s minds.
Isn’t there heaps of evidence for his Mossad connections. Feels like this article is from the classic blame-Russia-instead playbook.
Yes, it seems like it could be a deflection to take the attention off Israel and muddy the waters. Everything else was pointing to Mossad.
propaganda
Remember when Lindsey Graham was so against the orange felon/pedo then suddenly very nice to him? Blackmail will do that.
Nah, lack of a spine is enough. Smae as Vance, cruz, McConnell, Rubio and basically every republican except two or three (McCain and Romney come to mind, kind of).
Makes you wonder what all Russia has on the GQP. Remember, they never let loose what they found on the RNC servers in 2015 when they and the DNC were hacked.
Makes you wonder why they’re trying to deflect attention from Israel to Russia.
