The congressional order requiring the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files was build as a victory for transparency last month when it was signed into law

Since the files started being released a day laid in small increments and with heavy redactions, it's become a chaotic spectacle of incompetence, technical failure, and selective disclosure, making the most unhinged conspiracy theorists look reasonable

On Christmas Eve, it was announced that additional files had been uncovered and that it would likely take a few more weeks for the full data set to be released

The scale of the emission is staggering

To date, the Department of Justice has released just 11,034 documents

Yet, with this sudden request for delay, the department admitted that it has uncovered over a million additional records that still need to be reviewed

This admission is a humiliating reversal for Attorney General Pal Bondi, who in February told the public that the relevant files were sitting on her desk and ready for review

This pivot from ready to release to too much to process confirms the worst fears of transparency advocates

Simple math dictates that if a million documents remain hidden, the public has seen perhaps 1% of the total cash

Rather than the flood of clarity Congress demanded, we've received a muddy trickle, a disparity that critics argue amounts to a deliberate failure to comply with the law

The incompetence was absolute

Ordinary members of the public quickly discovered that some redacted text could be revealed by simply copying and pasting the document into a different format

These digital slipups exposed not sensitive victim data, but financial records and details that the law explicitly forbade the DOJ from hiding, proving that the censorship was often protecting reputations, not victims

Beyond the political theater, genuine scandals have emerged from the recently released files that contradict the official narrative that we've been fed

For months, administration officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel insisted that there was no client list and nothing to see in the files

Patel went further, telling Congress that there's no credible information, none, that Epstein traffked women to others

The documents prove otherwise

Buried within the release is a revelation that federal agents identified and attempted to contact 10 potential co-conspirators immediately after Epstein's 2019 arrest

While most names remain redacted, the existence of this list confirms that suspects beyond Epstein and Chellain Maxwell have been on the FBI's radar for years

Equally damning is the revelation of catastrophic institutional failure

We now know the FBI was alerted to Epstein's abuse as far back as 1996 when Maria Farmer reported that the then 43-year-old financier had stolen nude photos of her sisters aged just 12 and 16

The FBI report notes that Epstein was believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers, a chilling detail that hints at the very trafficking network Patel denied existed

These revelations, importantly, shatter a lingering myth perpetuated by commentators like Megan Kelly that Epstein was merely a playboy who took advantage of willing teenagers dazzled by his wealth and celebrity connections

The files depict a much nastier, more dangerous reality

a predator who threatened to burn down a teenage victim's house if she spoke out and whose victims were often small children, not party girls

Then there are the bizarre anomalies that feel pulled from a tabloid fever dream

Buried in the cache was a suicide note purportedly written by Epstein to disgrace gymnastics doctor Larry Nasser containing grotesque claims about the US president

The Department of Justice has officially labeled the letter's contents unfounded and false

And there are many reasons to believe that it might be a hoax, but they released it anyway

A decision that's only fueled the very speculation they seem to want to discourage

Before we dig into that, let me tell you about this week's video sponsor, Straight Arrow News

Welcome back to Trustworthy Journalism

To tell the full story, we have to look far beyond the government's muddy trickle of information

We'll combine the Department of Justice files with new data and photos released by the House Oversight Committee and groundbreaking reporting from the New York Times

While the FBI sat on its hands, reporters were digging through archives, interviewing people who had worked with Epstein and knew him socially to reveal the true source of his wealth, exposing him not as a financial wizard, but instead as a relentless scammer who built his empire on a lifetime of frauds, Ponzylike schemes, and the betrayal of friends

The contrast between the investigative success of the press and the abject failure of the state is damning

The government has all the tools needed to uncover the truth

The power to compel testimony, the ability to track the movement of every cent through the banking system and full access to the IRS tax records

Yet, it was journalists, not federal agents, who connected the dots

It's crazy that the ball has been dropped like this on such a high-profile case

And it's no wonder that conspiracy theories have bloomed because, as the files now prove, an actual conspiracy existed

Today, I'm going to break down the new data releases in three parts

First, we'll examine the new evidence of co-conspirators and the specific warnings that the FBI ignored in the 1990s

Second, we'll contrast the government's chaotic redacted dump with the forensic accounting done by journalists that finally explains the mechanics of Epstein's wealth

And finally, we'll ask the question that the DOJ is seemingly desperate to avoid

If the government knew in 1996 what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, why did it take 23 years and a billion dollars in stolen money to stop him

For months, the official line from Washington had been that the conspiracy began and ended with Jeffrey Epstein and his jailed accomplice Maxwell

The administration insisted that the circle of guilt was a closed loop

In sworn testimony to Congress, FBI director Cash Patel was unequivocal. >> Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to besides himself? >> Himself

There is no credible information, none

If there were, I would bring the case yesterday. >> This claim strained credul from the moment it was uttered

The public has long known, thanks to leaks like the birthday book, that Epstein did not operate in a vacuum

But what was once strong suspicion is now documented fact

The files prove unequivocally that Patel's testimony was at best a catastrophic failure of memory and at worst a lie

Buried in this week's chaotic document dump is a heavily redacted email chain from July 2019 sent just hours after Epstein's arrest

In it, an FBI agent asks a colleague for an update on the status of the 10 co-conspirators

This is not speculation

It's a timestamped federal record

The email confirms that from the very first moments of the 2019 investigation, the FBI had identified 10 specific targets

So, who were they and why were they never charged

The DOJ has redacted seven of the 10 names, citing privacy concerns, a justification the new law explicitly forbids for anyone other than victims

However, three of the names were left visible

Galain Maxwell, Jean Luke Brunell, the French modeling agent who died in prison awaiting trial, and Leslie Wexner, the billionaire retail tycoon behind Victoria's Secret

Wexner's inclusion is explosive

For decades, he was Epstein's primary patron, entrusting the former math teacher with total control over his billions

While Wexner severed his financial ties in 2007 and claims that he was never a target of the federal investigation, his presence on a verified FBI suspect list suggests that agents believe that the money trail and the abuse trail were intertwined

The most chilling evidence of a wider conspiracy comes not from 2019, but from 1996

Included in the files is a police report filed by Maria Farmer, an artist who worked for Epstein

She told the FBI explicitly that Epstein and Maxwell had stolen nude photographs of her younger sisters, aged 12 and 16, that she had taken for her own personal artwork

Crucially, the report notes that Epstein was believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers

This single sentence destroys the lonewolf narrative

If Epstein and Maxwell were selling photographs like this, then there were buyers

And if the FBI knew about potential buyers of this type of material in 1996 and co-conspirators in 2019, the question is no longer if others were involved

The question is why the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world decided to stop looking for them

While the co-conspirators list points to a cold, hard cover up, much of the release resembles a hall of mirrors, a chaotic junk drawer of evidence that mixes genuine leads with bizarre anomalies

Take the suicide note

Buried in the cash is a letter purportedly written by Epstein to Larry Nasser, the disgraced gymnastics doctor

Nasser is a true monster who was convicted of abusing more than 150 women and girls and sentenced to 175 years in prison

Some estimates of the number of victims goes beyond 300

Dear ln, the note reads, as you know by now, I've taken the short route home

Good luck

We shared one thing, our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they'd reach their full potential

Our president also shares our love of young new girls

It then makes a lewd reference to the president's treatment of women and signs off life is unfair

Yours, J

Epstein

While the existence of a letter to Larry Nasser has been public knowledge since 2023 when the Associated Press reported on a return to sender envelope turning up in the jail's mail room

There are compelling reasons to doubt the document's authenticity

First, investigators have never established a clear link between Epstein and Nasser

So, why would Epstein choose to send his final thoughts to a stranger in a different prison rather than to a friend or family member

Second, the letter was postmarked 3 days after Epstein's death, which could theoretically be explained by the delays inherent in the prison mail inspection system

However, the markings indicate it was mailed from Northern Virginia, hundreds of miles from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where Epstein died

Even if the note was written by Epstein, he would have known that it would be read by the prison mailing system and may be given extra attention after his death

So even if authentic, the note could still have been a final act of revenge on his old friend Trump

The DOJ may have dismissed the note as a forgery based on handwriting analysis, but its contradictions guarantee it'll be dissected by conspiracy theorists for decades to come

It feeds the conspiracy that there was a celebrity ring of abusers who were all in touch with each other

But it also contradicts the conspiracy that many believe that Epstein was murdered in prison to silence him

The Department of Justice took the unusual step of labeling the letter unfounded and false upon release, yet included it anyway

Then there's the bizarre footage of Epstein appearing to choke himself in his prison cell

A video that circulated online for years and is now formally included in the files simply because someone emailed it to the FBI asking if it was real

But if the noise is distracting, the silence regarding the president is deafening

Administration officials have repeatedly claimed that they're prioritizing transparency

Yet, the process has been dogged by accusations of bias

Internal documents reveal that the FBI referred to the effort as the Special Redaction Project, an initiative that racked up over $850,000 in overtime costs in a single week back in March

So, who knows what the total cost of the reductions has come to by now

But the return on that investment appears to be a sophisticated form of obstruction

Upon release, users reported a bizarre technical anomaly

Searching the digital files for Trump yielded almost zero results, making it look like the president didn't appear in the files at all

People eventually worked out that his name could only be found if you searched for Trump with a space at the end, a coding glitch that rendered him invisible to the general public

Meanwhile, specific files, including a photo of a desk in Epstein's home displaying two pictures of the president, were quietly removed from an online database and then re-uploaded only after a public outcry

Perhaps the most telling was the DOJ's framing when releasing the documents

The department included an unusually specific disclaimer warning that the files contained untrue and sensationalist claims about President Trump

No such warning was offered for the other well-known figures mentioned in the files

And then there's the incompetence

At least 550 pages were released entirely blacked out, a move that critics argue violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act

But some of the censorship was as poor as it was heavy-handed

Ordinary members of the public quickly discovered that some redactions were merely black bars placed over live text which could be revealed by copypasting the document into a text file

These hacks didn't all expose sensitive victim data, which was supposed to be what was being redacted, but instead financial records and details about Epstein's estate, proving that the censorship was designed to shield the powerful from embarrassment rather than to protect victims from further harm

If the technical failures were absolute, the political weaponization was strategic

But before we dissect the politics, we must address the sheer scope of the orbit

The files feature a surreal cast of characters that spans the entire spectrum of the global elite

The names dragged into the sunlight range from rock stars like Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, and Michael Jackson

A Jagger was photographed with Clinton and a redacted image of a woman

While he hasn't made any statements about the release, there's no suggestion that he was involved with or aware of any of the actions of Bill Clinton or Jeffrey Epstein

There were Hollywood A-listers in the files like Kevin Spacy and Leonardo DiCaprio, titans of science and industry like Bill Gates and Nam Chomsky, and even David Copperfield, the magician, the creepiest style of entertainer

It's important to state clearly that appearing in a photograph with Jeffrey Epstein or flying on his jet does not inherently imply criminal wrongdoing

For many, Epstein was simply a fixture of the social circuit, a wealthy donor whose sinister reality was hidden in plain sight

But for others, the association was far deeper

Former President Bill Clinton featured heavily in the first batch of release documents

While the files contain no evidence of specific crimes, they confirm a long comfortable friendship that Clinton has spent years trying to downplay

He's seen relaxing in hot tubs and swimming with Chellain Maxwell

Images that are embarrassing, if not indictable

Yet for the current White House, embarrassing was not enough

In a move that stripped away any pretense of impartiality, a deputy press secretary tweeted a photo from the files showing Clinton with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and three small children

The children's faces were redacted, implying that they were possible victims

The implication was a lie

The photo had been taken at a public charity event and the children belonged to Jackson and Diana Ross

The fact that the White House deputy press secretary felt the need to manufacture a scandal when the reality of Clinton's association with Epstein was already damaging enough speaks volumes about how low political figures will go to discredit each other

We're also left with the question of whether prior administrations kept these files sealed, not to protect justice, but because Epstein was a bipartisan embarrassment who compromised everyone he was involved with

This question of protection then brings us to Alexander Acasta, the former labor secretary who has long sat at the center of the Epstein saga's darkest theory

As the prosecutor who signed off on Epstein's sweetheart plea deal in 2008, Aosta famously claimed he was told to back off because Epstein belonged to intelligence and was above his pay grade

He later denied saying this, but if true, this suggests that for decades, the US government didn't just ignore a predator, it shielded one

The cost of that protection is made viscerally clear in the new photos released by the House Oversight Committee

These images destroy once again the party girl myth once and for all

They show young girls with lines from the novel Lolita written in black marker across their bodies on their chests, feet, and spines

It's a grotesque display of branding that turns literary pretention into evidence of systematic abuse

While most of the press has been about Clinton and Trump, the public figure who emerges most damaged by the New Files is not a politician, but a prince, or at least a former prince

Welcome peasants

This is diary of a professional eminent duke and orator. >> The documents about Andrew contain what might be the closest thing to a smoking gun in the entire release

An email exchange between Chellain Maxwell and a sender signed simply a who has widely been identified as Prince Andrew

In the emails, the former prince writes from Bal Marl to ask Maxwell if she has found him any new inappropriate friends, later discussing an upcoming trip to Peru

Maxwell instructs an associate to organize two-legged sightseeing for the prince, specifying that the women should be intelligent, pretty, fun, and from good families

The revelation that a member of the royal family was using official travel budgets to procure women via Epstein and Maxwell is a scandal that no amount of redaction can hide

If the failure to investigate the sexual crimes was a tragedy, the failure to investigate the financial crimes was a farce

I made a whole video about this a while back

Tracking the sources of Epstein's wealth would answer many questions about him and his co-conspirators

If there's anyone capable of working out how a high school math teacher transformed into a billionaire, it should be the Department of Justice

After all, the government possesses the ultimate investigative toolkit, the power to compel testimony, the ability to track the movement of every cent through the global banking system, and full access to IRS tax records

Yet, in more than 40 years of suspicious activity, federal agents failed to uncover the answer to the most basic question of the Epstein saga

Where did all the money come from

It took a team of journalists from the New York Times digging through dusty archives and interviewing forgotten associates, financial victims, and ex-girlfriends to finally dismantle the myth

I'll leave a link to the article in the description as it's well worth a read

As the journalists point out, for decades, Epstein sold himself as a financial doctor to the ultra wealthy, a renegade genius who could see patterns in the market that others missed

and an expert in taxes who could even sell tax planning services to people as financially sophisticated as private equity tycoons

The Times revealed a much grubbier reality

Epstein was no wizard

He was instead a relentless scammer who built his empire on a foundation of Ponzylike schemes, fraud, and a systematic betrayal of friends

He always seemed to know who to rip off and who it was more valuable to keep on as a friend

He started his career at Bear Sterns in 1976, having been hired by the firm's chairman, Ace Greenberg, specifically because he fit the profile of what Greenberg called PSD, someone who was poor, smart, and had a deep desire to become rich

He rose quickly even after he was caught lying about his education, claiming to have degrees from two separate colleges despite never graduating

He basically treated his resume like a creative writing assignment

And on Wall Street in the 70s, that was apparently a passing grade

He got away with a lot at Bear Sterns because his supervisors knew he was dating the chairman's daughter and viewed him as protected

Even still, his time on Wall Street didn't last

He left in 1981 after he was caught breaking federal rules

He had abused his expense account without consequence, but he was finally cornered for lending money to a friend in violation of regulations and funneling lucrative hot IPO shares to a girlfriend

After the firm fined and suspended him, he resigned

After leaving Wall Street, Epstein told people that he was a bounty hunter who could track down lost assets

But the reality was often just fraud

In 1982, for instance, he convinced an acquaintance named Martin Stroll to invest roughly 10% of his net worth, around $450,000, into a crude oil deal

The money vanished and Epstein essentially ghosted him

at one point sending Stroll a single quart of oil as a mockery when he demanded proof of the investment

He then moved on to partner with Steven Hoffenberg at a firm called Towers Financial, being paid $25,000 a month as a consultant

Hoffenberg would later claim that Epstein helped orchestrate the massive Ponzi scheme there that defrauded investors of nearly $500 million

Huffenberg went to prison and Epstein walked free

He also used the facade of highstakes corporate raiding to mask simple market manipulation

In 1988, he and some partners executed a pump and dump strategy with a chemical company called Penwald, driving up the stock price with a takeover bid

They then sold their shares for a large profit, but Epstein refused to return the investment to the friends he had recruited to fund the deal, effectively stealing their capital

His biggest source of wealth, however, was retail billionaire Leslie Wexner

Despite warnings from Wexner's own financial advisor, who told the billionaire he smelled a rat, Epstein managed to gain power of attorney over Wexner's entire fortune

Wexner later claimed that Epstein misappropriated vast sums of his money, which Epstein used to buy mansions, planes, and perhaps most importantly, credibility

He used his access to Wexner to open doors to the highest corridors of power, infiltrating the Clinton White House and sitting on boards for prestigious institutions like Rockefeller University

The documents also show just how close he got to the establishment through the people he trusted to manage his estate

Newly released Justice Department documents revealed that two of the biggest names in finance and policy were named as executives in his wills

Jess Staley, the former Barkley CEO, was listed as an executive in wills from 2013 and 2014

This compounds the scrutiny that Staley faced for being banned from the UK banking industry for acting without integrity regarding his ties to Epstein

Even Larry Summers, the former US Treasury Secretary, was named as a successor executor in the 2014 well

While Summers claims he had absolutely no knowledge of this and is deeply ashamed of the association, his inclusion in the document highlights just how effective Epstein's fraud really was

In the end, Epstein didn't get rich because he was a market genius

He got rich because regulators looked the other way while he looted the accounts of those who trusted him

If money was the fuel, the destination was legitimacy

The New York Times investigation makes it clear that Epstein didn't just want to be rich

He wanted to be untouchable

And to do that, he needed to embed himself so deeply in the establishment that no one would dare question him

His most ambitious target was the Clinton White House

In February 1993, just weeks after Bill Clinton was inaugurated, Epstein walked into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue alongside Leslie Wexner

He didn't just show up empty-handed, either

Epstein had become a political donor, having contributed $10,000 to help refurbish the White House

A donation that secured him a spot at a reception with the president

Obviously, nowadays, presidential meetings are much more expensive and paid for in crypto

Money was only part of the equation

He also used people as currency

The Times reports that Epstein leveraged a connection with Lynn Forester, a successful executive who would later marry into the Rothschild family

Epstein reportedly convinced her that he could help her in her divorce settlement, insisting that he was the only one who could protect her assets

Through Forester, who was an appointee to the White House Advisory Commission, Epstein had his foot in the door

The strategy worked and by 1995 Epstein was close enough to the president that Clinton wrote a personal get well soon note to Epstein's mother scrolling hang in there on a yellow post-it note that Epstein kept

Once he had political access, he aimed for social prestige, setting his sights on the Rockefeller family

Using his foundation funded largely by other people's money, Epstein began donating heavily to Rockefeller University and the Trilateral Commission, buying himself a seat at the table

In 1995, David Rockefeller welcomed Epstein to the board of Rockefeller University

He parlayed this into yet another lie, telling people that he managed money for the Rockefellers, a claim that the family's actual financial advisor say was completely false

Perhaps the most strategic relationship he purchased was with the legal scholar, Alan Dersuitz

In 1996, Epstein met Dersuits in Martha's Vineyard, dropping names of Harvard elites like Larry Summers

He worked hard to ingratiate himself, even flying Dersawitz to Ohio to a birthday party for Less Wexner

But the Times uncovered a transaction that was far more significant than a party invite

Epstein had convinced a hedge fund manager to let Durowitz invest in his fund

When the fund suffered massive losses and wiped out Dersawitz's investment, Epstein stepped in

He bullied the fund manager into making Duruititz whole, threatening to pull Wexner's $30 million investment from the fund if the fund manager didn't sort it out

The fees on Wexner's investment more than covered the cost of making Duruits whole, so it went through

It was a master stroke of manipulation

By using Wexner's money as leverage, Epstein ensured that a prominent legal mind owed him a big favor

That favor paid dividends years later

When Epstein was finally arrested in 2005 in Florida, Durowitz helped engineer the now infamous Sweetheart deal that allowed Epstein to escape federal prosecution and serve a light sentence

In hindsight, it wasn't just generosity

it was an insurance policy paid for with stolen money

In the end, when you step back and look at the reality exposed by these documents, you're left with a single uncomfortable realization

Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a ghost in the machine

He was a product of it

Perhaps the most haunting quote in the New York Times investigation comes from Michael Tenenbomb

Tenonbomb was the senior executive at Bear Sterns who supervised Epstein's early rise after Ace Greenberg hired him

Looking back on the man he promoted the college dropout who lied his way into a job and then scammed his way into a fortune, Tenebomb admitted, "I didn't realize that I was creating one of the monsters of Wall Street." Of course, he didn't do it alone

It took a village of billionaires, bankers, and politicians to raise this monster

And that brings us to the uncomfortable truth that I've spoken about in my previous videos

The Epstein files are the ultimate proof that there's a two-tier justice system in the United States

One set of rules for you and me and a completely different set for the well-connected elites

For years, this scandal has been treated like a political football

But the reality is that both parties had reasons to keep these files under lock and key

On the right, you had Republicans desperate to cover up Donald Trump's 15-year friendship with a man he once called a terrific guy

On the left, you had Democrats willing to turn a blind eye to Bill Clinton's association with Epstein, largely to protect Hillary Clinton when she was seen as the future of the party

Today, the Clintons are seen as being less politically relevant, and for that reason, the shield is slipping

A newly released email from a federal prosecutor reveals that flight logs show Trump flew on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously reported, including on flights where Gilain Maxwell was a passenger

We have to remember that what we're looking at today is just the tip of the iceberg

The files that have been released so far are only a fraction of the total evidence

We also need to ask serious questions about the redactions that are in place

Are these documents being blacked out to protect victims or are they being blacked out to protect the personal reputations of important people

There is a final bitter irony buried in the files from the US Virgin Islands

In 1999, when Epstein was applying for the tax breaks that would save him millions, he was asked if he would consider teaching a course at the local university

Epstein replied that he would love to

He said that his priority would be to educate young people on the ethics of business

He told the commission the ethics of business is very difficult nowadays

Epstein teaching a course like this is a little bit like the iceberg teaching a course on maritime safety

For Jeffrey Epstein, ethics weren't difficult

They were non-existent

And until we see the rest of these files, and until something is done about the two-tier justice system that protected them, the story isn't really over

I don't usually ask people to like, subscribe, or share my videos, but I'm fairly sure that this one will be demonetized right away, as the last video on this topic got my entire channel demonetized with no explanation given
