So basically every government is connected via JE. This is absolutely wild.

I don't think we can take that as fact. It's the only mention of him being Putin's wealth manager in the entire lot of documents. And Epstein famously couldn't even get a Russian visa (Mandelson offered to help in this regard but it never happened).
Brrrrrrrrr, looks chilly in Moscow
'Meet the Russian women’s-rights activist exposing predatory oligarchs—all while staying loyal to Vladimir Putin and the late Jeffrey Epstein.' Oooerrr.
An Epstein B.F.F. Turned Russia's Top Feminist
As a model in New York, Kira Dikhtyar was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Then she launched Russia's version of #MeToo.

Many, not all.
I would think that he would not have been Putin's wealth manager as such though it's entirely likely that he had a hand in brokering deals or even to handle investments, channelling money through western institutions etc but this would have been in addition to Putin's own dodgy money handlers that he already had available.
That said, there's still a huge stack of unpublished files potentially full of buried evidence...
Which raises questions about Mandelson failing to get him a visa, seems like either this ended up not being a problem or someone else managed to get it for him or he got it for himself, or only needed a tourist visa anyway and not whatever special sponsored visa Mandelson might have been offering.Brrrrrrrrr, looks chilly in Moscow
We know he had fake passports too.
This article goes through what we know (so far) about his Russian connections https://www.france24.com/en/america...les-reveal-jeffrey-epstein-build-russian-ties
I do think he wanted to get more access there, but I'm just not sure he managed it.

I’ve just finished it. It’s weird with her Mum, VG suggested that her mother was aware of the abuse but turned a blind eye because she was an alcoholic.
They came over and lived with near her father for a while, but they fell out because she disclosed the abuse to her brothers because she thought they should know so they could take appropriate steps to shield their children from him. Then they moved on to stay near her mother in Colorado and seemed to get on well with her and her mother apologised about the abuse.
There seems to be very little information out there on her mother and she doesn’t speak publicly. If I had to bet, I’d say her mother has taken some sort of action against the media that stops her being discussed.
So did he sell his shares knowing it was going under?
I think he had to sell his interest when he became Ambassador to the US.

Thanks for sharing....
Bit of a random non direct link that I thought of, see attachment and below....
Have you ever seen a film called Sunshine and Oranges? It's based on a true story of a social worker in Nottinghamshire in the 80s, who found out that children were being shipped to Australia and being abused. They were in children's homes, some had only been placed there temporarily, but when parents went to get them back, they were lied to about where they were. It's years since I watched the film and read about it, but I think the Government knew about it all and helped cover it up.
I know that's not related to Epstein, but basically it's why non of this surprises me. It's happened for years on varying levels. Children treated as objects and used and abused, especially the ones from vulnerable families.

And especially during war time. Kids often go missing during or when trying to escape countries at war. Recently there's the awful syrian (?) story of nasty folks paying to shoot kids for fun.@Dotty Merton

I haven't seen that film, it's an important story.
Fairly sure it's a rule even if not an absolute one, but if the headline is a question the answer is pretty much always 'no'.

Also links to the DoJ letter/statement that had all those useful names on it.
Though here's one I spotted while looking to confirm copies of the letter
IBTimes: DOJ Quietly Takes Down FBI Interview of 13-Year-Old Victim Accusing Trump ...

substack.com
Which details a file that was missing a few days ago but has reappeared since then - the files are different sizes and the early one starts its fonts listing with Times New Roman and the later one doesn't so they are definitely not the same.
So I did a quick side-by-side EFTA00095751 archived 20260131 (left), EFTA00095751 just now 20260222 (right) finds on page 17 one particular name, noting they missed an incorrectly spelled 'Leslie'.
Why redact someone whose name is pretty much everywhere?
Does anyone believe Pam Bondi when she says it’s case closed on the Epstein Files? | The News Agents
Pam Bondi, US attorney general in Trump’s MAGA administration, has released what she claims is the complete list of people named in the Epstein Files, and says no more action will be taken. But with key names missing, and no prosecutions, what’s her plan here?

I wonder if that was one of the mysteriously disappearing and reappearing files (though again, we don't know if 'reappear' actually means reappearing unchanged or if the number went up because some disappeared and returned with some unspecified differences of content).
Though further rummaging got this
DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows
The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

Why redact someone whose name is pretty much everywhere?
Lesley Groff was JE's executive assistant for years and I believe she was offered immunity in exchange for information. Maybe that's why they went back in and redacted her name (although clearly too little too late because everyone knows her name is all over the files by now).
I had wondered - it must have been one hell of a deal, the information she provided leading to the arrest of hundreds of Epstein's associates, and enabling victims to be contacted such that they could give evidence for a successful prosecution...?
End result - one dead guy, one woman in a holiday camp, and a primary enabler let off for 'only obeying orders'.
And the DoJ says there's nothing more for it to do.
'Jeffrey Epstein hid hard drives and photos from authorities in multiple storage lockers across the country, a report said.
The pedophile rented at least six units, the majority of which were in Florida, paying thousands between 2003 and 2019, according to an investigation by The Telegraph.
The lockers remained uncovered by US authorities, suggesting they held never-before-seen evidence in Epstein's long string of horrific crimes.'

Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway is probably more entangled in this than she wants people to think. She has issued about two or three apologies now for "not knowing" who he was (a lie, she googled him according to emails) and the usual "I was totally innocent" and blah blah.
Norwegian newspaper VG has looked into a suspicious money transfer from Epstein to Mette. And after these articles in January 31, the palace has had to backtrack and admit that she was in contact with Epstein longer than they first admitted.
www.vg.no
www.vg.no
Btw, Eva Dubin mentioned in the article is the same one who asked Epstein if he was interested in participating in an event by Childhood, a charity by Queen Silvia of Sweden where Princess Madeleine also works, that focuses on protecting children from sexual abuse as well as helping those who have already fallen victim, with a concentration on girls and young mothers. He answered "nope" and she replied "same here
"...
There's a strange anomaly when I try to search for the files for "Mette". I cannot see all the results. It lists around 60 pages of results but I can only see until about 30 and then the last three pages. If I try to see the rest of it, it goes to "no results" and I have to search again. Soooo... there's about 30 pages of results that for whatever reason, I cannot see. Also, I swear I've seen a contract emailed where it was detailed MM got 20 000 but I guess that particular file is now deleted.

Palm Beach-ferien: Hvem betalte for tannlegen, frisøren og sjåføren?
Slottet har fortsatt ikke svart på om kronprinsessen mottok varer eller tjenester fra Jeffrey Epstein, utover at hun lånte huset hans i Palm Beach i 2013.
www.vg.no
So basically no-one cares if she did anything unlawful and she is expected to carry on as usual, visiting her son in prison (I wonder if this whole thing has anything to do with him turning into a sex offender)... In other words, there will be no consequences for her whatsoever.Palm Beach vacation: Who paid for the dentist, the hairdresser, and the driver?
The palace has still not responded to whether the crown princess received goods or services from Jeffrey Epstein, beyond the fact that she borrowed his house in Palm Beach in 2013.
Several people are now under investigation for benefits they may have received through their friendship with multi-billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Crown Princess Mette-Marit is not among them.
The palace stated in late January that she borrowed Epstein's Palm Beach residence for four days in 2013.
In this regard, VG asked whether Epstein had in any way financed other expenses for the Crown Princess.
The palace then replied that she had not received any monetary gifts:
– The Crown Princess has not received money or agreed to receive money from Epstein, neither for her personally nor for funds or foundations she has been involved with.
VG has since sent several inquiries to the Palace to get an answer as to whether the Crown Princess has received any other forms of benefits, such as goods or services.
In response, VG receives the following from Communications Manager Guri Varpe at the Royal Court:
– The Crown Princess herself wishes to tell about what happened and explain herself in more detail. In the meantime, we do not wish to respond to details related to the case.
More services during your stay
Released documents in the Epstein case show that he arranged several services for the crown princess during her Palm Beach stay in 2013.
VG and other media have previously asked the Palace whether it is true that Epstein helped the Crown Princess with a dental appointment for teeth whitening. Communications Manager Varpe then replied:
– Epstein recommended a dentist, but teeth whitening was not part of the treatment.
However, the palace has not answered questions about who paid for the dental treatment.
VG has met the dentist, Andrew Adelson, who had the Crown Princess as a patient in 2013. He remembers the consultation well, but states that he does not know who paid for the appointment.
The documents also show that the crown princess agreed to be picked up by Epstein's driver at the airport. It also appears that Epstein's regular hairdresser was called to cut her hair at the house in Palm Beach.
The Palace has also not responded to who paid for the driver service and the hairdresser.

The hairdresser, Phillipe Barr, has told VG that he has been the Crown Princess's hairdresser on at least two occasions.
Shopping in New York
The documents in the Epstein case also show that Epstein planned a shopping trip for "Princess Mette" and his former Swedish ex-girlfriend, Eva Andersson-Dubin, on March 27, 2013.
From bank statements, TV2 found that Epstein paid $3,950 that day to the exclusive department store Bergdorf Goodman:
VG has not received a response from the Palace as to whether Mette-Marit received any goods from Epstein that day.
...
Professor of criminal law, Jo Martin Stigen, has previously stated that he believes it is unlikely that Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be investigated.
– I don't think that will happen. Nothing that has come to light indicates that she has committed anything criminal, Stigen has said.
Law professor Eivind Smith shares this assessment. He cannot see that any information has emerged that suggests that the Crown Princess had anything to offer Epstein in exchange for any gifts or services.
– Apart from the shine she casts on him, then. A Norwegian crown princess has no public authority and decides over little else but her own life, according to Smith.
In addition, princes and princesses have special protection under the Constitution , which in practice means that the King must approve any investigation:
"The royal princes and princesses shall not be responsible for their persons to anyone other than the King or whomever he appoints as judge over them."
Both professors nevertheless believe it is unlikely that the king would oppose an investigation if the prosecution were to find grounds to initiate one.

I'll admit to not being a database/search expert but the search facility really does seem to have some of the oddest quirks, how normal is it that a search will fail not by dropping dead but by limping back with only the stuff it could throw in a bag in a hurry?
It's certainly not normal that files are disappearing and then coming back different.
I wonder if the database is “live” in that it’s being constantly updated and documents being redacted and unredeacted dependent on law suits !
are their men in black holding files back and hiding stuff !
iv been listening to some great podcasts , it does take you down some terrible rabbit holes , my view on the world now is very shaken, im not a naive person but i cant get my head round that elite people that run the world so to say, are just using and abusing the vulnerable ! Makes me so sad to think the vast majority of us mean nothing .. absolutely nothing to them all
