Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | FBI: Jeffrey Epstein Was a Child Sex Abuser But He Wasn't Running a Pedophile Sex Ring for the World's Rich and FamousI've said previously that the idea that some people have, that Epstein was literally running a child sex brothel and billionaires were paying him for sex, was almost certainly false. I know that people don't like to hear this, but some alleged conspiracies are just too big to believe that no one ever blew the whistle. He certainly does seem to have made young women available for the use of his pedophile pals. But this seems to have been a matter of ingratiation and favor-banking rather than a quid pro quo with billionaires paying Ghislaine Maxwell at the till before passing the turnstile and entering Pedo Island. The FBI also says it did not find blackmail photos or videos in the Epstein files. Ed Morrissey digests an AP story. I'll just quote some of the matter he quotes, and refer you to his post for more.The FBI pored over Jeffrey Epstein's bank records and emails. It searched his homes. It spent years interviewing his victims and examining his connections to some of the world's most influential people. But while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein sexually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a sex trafficking ring serving powerful men, an Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.I think this might depend on what the definition of "sex ring" is. The strong form of it didn't apparently exist. But a weak form it, with Epstein maintaining his value to wealthy and powerful men by making young women available to them, and subsequently getting very valuable insider information, probably did exist. Why did Peter Mandelson tell Epstein in advance of the then-nonpublic UK government decision to bail out the banks? What services was Epstein providing to him? Or was it just a cash transaction in that case, with Epstein paying Mandelson and his husband off? We know Epstein sent $75,000 to Mandelson, even if Mandelson "can't remember" if he received that sum or not, and another ten thousand pounds to his husband. Prosecution memos, case summaries and other documents made public in the department's latest release of Epstein-related records show that FBI agents and federal prosecutors diligently pursued potential coconspirators. Even seemingly outlandish and incomprehensible claims, called in to tip lines, were examined. ... Investigators said they confirmed that Giuffre had been sexually abused by Epstein. But other parts of her story were problematic. Two other Epstein victims who Giuffre had claimed were also "lent out" to powerful men told investigators they had no such experience, prosecutors wrote in a 2019 internal memo. "No other victim has described being expressly directed by either Maxwell or Epstein to engage in sexual activity with other men," the memo said.Yeah, I don't know. I do not believe that Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi have any incentive to lie about these things. The conspiracy theorists lose me when they start claiming that everyone who fails to support their conspiracy theories must themselves be in on the conspiracy. But, conspiracy theorists tend to do that. That's their go-to move. I don't exactly feel satisfied by this report. I still think there's gotta be something more there. But I don't know if I'd put much money on that.

ace, if you watched Mike Benz on Rogan, he put out the fact that when prosecuting an individual who is deeply tied into CIA or IC matters, the DOJ tends to prosecute and shallowly as possible, and drops anything that might expose the IC and what they are doing.
He talked about the prosecution of one of the organizers of the Cuban counter-revolutionaries, though it also matches Maxwell and P-Diddy Viva Frei called it "limited prosecution" as opposed to "limited hangout" Of course there is a catchier way to say it, since Viva Frei is a lame Canadian lawyer. Maybe "limited hangout to dry" Posted by: Kindltot at February 09, 2026 04:08 PM (rbvCR) 13
I believe the term for what Epstein and Maxwell did is 'pandering' with the rich and famous.
Epstein and Maxwell kept the underage girls for themselves. They didn't like sharing their shiny new toys with their pals, but the older, slightly used ones were fair game for people like Clinton and Randy Andy.

======= Remember...there was a trial. The women were interviewed as witnesses, and most couldn't be used as witnesses. Because they helped him get more women. And none of them were prepubescent. Epstein himself reportedly liked 'em young, but the sex part of his operation was nubile, mostly legal women. I think in the Bahamas they were all legal (16 is the legal age there, I believe).

"Two other Epstein victims who Giuffre had claimed were also "lent out" to powerful men told investigators they had no such experience, prosecutors wrote in a 2019 internal memo.
___________ I have long said that 90% of the reporting and rumor-mongering on Epstein was wrong because it didn't jive with how this works in the real world. In the real world, girls aren't "lent out" to powerful men. The girls eagerly seek out other powerful men in the group. Rich guys with yachts have yacht girls lined up at the marina. Puff Daddy had 100x more girls (and guys) who desperately wanted to go to his parties than he could invite. Epstein surely had lines of girls waiting to get on the jet to the private island. This is hard for many people to accept, in part because they can't see girls selling themselves like that. But there are many many girls who can and do. Eagerly.

I dunno. Occam’s razor.
A rich Wall Street type guy attracts people looking to cash in, and trades in favors that sometimes involved young women. And I don’t mean to sound cruel, but it seems a lot of these women knew exactly what had to be done. We will leave it at that. I mean, this story is repeated hundreds if not thousands of times across the Wall Street population. And yet it intrigues a whole groups of people because some of those involved are in politics. Whatever. Posted by: Vengeance at February 09, 2026 04:13 PM (PM/iv) 37

I honestly don't think the island stuff is all that big of a deal. Many old regulars here have heard me talk about my niece (daughter of a cousin, really) who was approached by a woman (she's not sure if it was Maxwell) back in the 90s. These girls, underage though they were, knew exactly what they were going to the island for. She was told there would be unlimited drugs, alcohol, constant parties at night, all day on the beach, rich men everywhere.
Now, she said that it was presented more as happy endings and blow jobs, but there was no mistaking that sexual behavior, richly rewarded, was the intention. And some of those girls won't testify, because they got their very rich husband out of it. What I want to know is, what happened at that ranch. Because if half of what I've heard is true... it's way way way beyond old men chasing consenting teenagers. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at February 09, 2026 04:14 PM (Vvh2V) 40

right, rich and powerful men of supposed "standing" can't just be freaks and cultivate a group of 17 year old girls to have sex with. That's where Epstein comes in.

You don’t go out of your way to involve people like Bill Gates just because you think they’re fun to be around. He wanted something. I kind of agree except with the suggestion about there being an explicit blackmail threat. Plus, just making yourself valuable to these men is enough to get them to do favors. If they want to keep visiting your island, they have to act like "friends," and friends do "favors" for each other.

I thought the prevailing "conspiracy theory" was that Epstein was working for/with Mossad/FBI or other intel agencies. That was (is) my theory. By having some sort of evidence/blackmail on powerful people, he could find out things and/or influence outcomes. Just how that would have been accomplished, idk.

people who do serious drugs together usually don't freely rat on each other (until they get charged) because they know their drug-using confederates could also rat on them. That's a kind of compromise, but it's not an explicit compromise. You don't have to tell the guy you do heroin with "don't tell anyone I do heroin." It's implicit.

The explanation I heard from Benz makes most sense to me: Girls Juice Deals. Epstein was a deal-maker and money launderer, and dealt with the kind of trash that lives in that world. The girls were party-favors - not the subject of the deal. Incidental to the larger purpose.

So here is a question I'd like an answer to. Let's suppose the large form of the Epstein scandal is false.
He personally was a pedophile and got Ghislane and a couple of his flunkies to help him get underage girls. Why did he then share them with Prince Andrew and maybe Bill Clinton/Bill Gates and then no one else? For example did Kevin Spacey go to Epstein Island to get money from Epstein? To have sex with legal yacht boys? Posted by: 18-1 at February 09, 2026 04:22 PM (sKqQm) 77
My guess would be they go on to become yacht girls/OF types.

yeah that's what I think. Military contractors used to provide girls, by which I mean prostitutes, to generals and admirals and Congressmen at their weapons shows. It wasn't a quid pro quo exactly.

Like that old song, "It doesn't have to be one or the other." For some, the deal was the deal and the underage was just the sugar-rush on top. But I'm sure over time Epstein and associates figured out that for SOME, the underage was the deal, and money was just how somebody got access to the underage.

We have had this discussion before. No one would attempt blackmail of the most powerful people in society since it would trigger a defense response from too many of those powerful people.

I suspect the whole Epstein p3do ring story was manufactured by the deep state and their propaganda arm to deflect from some other p3do (or whatever) story.
Like, maybe the p3do ring the deep state and the propagandists are actually involved in. Or the continued efforts to overthrow the Trump administration.

Continued from the previous Left-Wing "Scoop" thread (and I think relevant here):
140 >>Tulsi must have something on Warner. He has been squirming like a toad lately. During the Russia hoax, Warner was secretly communicating with Christopher Steele's lawyer Adam Waldman. Waldman was also the lawyer for Oleg Deripaska, at one time the richest oligarch in Russia. He also is heavily invested in businesses in Ukraine. A lot of those investments were seized after the war began. I've long believed that one of the main reason they wanted to get rid of Trump was they wanted the war in Ukraine and Trump did not. Posted by: JackStraw at February 09, 2026 03:24 PM (viF8m) I think it was overdetermined, with a vast constellation of reasons, and they all came down to this: Trump was proving that we didn't have to live like that. We didn't have to accept a "managed decline" into corrupt, bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny. And we didn't have to accept a two-tier justice system -- Epstein was Federally arrested in July 2019 -- where the wealthy and well-connected get away with serious crimes, while the little guy is mercilessly ground under the heel of the State for regulatory infractions.

(Possible allies implicated: UK, Israel, EU, etc...) Again, I'm pretty sure Trump would prefer to bring the IC to justice, so I doubt this theory, but that would be the answer, I believe.

I am not diving deep into this sewer of perversion and satanism:
1) Eptstein was an agent, whether CIA or Moussad 2) He created honey pots for politicians, royals, elites, and millionaires who would contribute to him...whether blackmail or what I obviously have no idea 3) Maxwell and others did the procuring of young girls (and boys?) 4) Pedophilia is real and apparently the taste of these wealthy demons 5) Trump was smart enough not to get involved, once he kicked Epstein out of Maralago. He is also a germaphobe, so I can't see him at orgies. Plus he dated supermodels of age 6) The Clintons were not as smart and Billy loved to party and wag his Peyronie's around. His hag, well, who knows what her proclivities are and I don't want to know what goes on with her, Huma or anyone else...and may tertiary syphilis rise up forever with a dash of herpes on the side 7) If the Dims had ANYTHING on Trump on Pedo Island they would have used this in 2016 9) I care deeply about stopping satanic child trafficking and all that goes with this evil 10) Many are caught now, big names in politics and Hollywood.

11 I think Epstein was routinely blackmailing politicos and billionaires to funnel money into his investment operation.
Whether that was at the behest of the CIA or MI5 or whoever is debatable. But his primary gig was getting money to invest. BAMN Posted by: Martini Farmer ======== Most of those billionaires had security peeps that actually screen people around them. Billionaires are not that naive, Andrew might have been due to the Royal Family shit but he kept up with Epstein willingly and Sarah Ferguson flirted with Epstein as well. Most of the emails don't indicate any nature of blackmail but more of shared enthusiasm in human sex trafficking. You aren't friendly with someone that is blackmailing you.

But while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein sexually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a sex trafficking ring serving powerful men, an Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.
---------- Bullshit. This guy was a pimp for the powerful disguised as a friend and financier, working on behalf of the XXX and the XXXXXX. He is exactly who we think he is/was. If I get my hands on curated blackmail of the worlds rich and powerful with all the leverage that entails, it's not being released to congresscritters and temps like Bondi or Bongingo.

Posted by: Frasier Crane ------------ I'm skeptical about this angle. This is common in industry as well because it is a form of exclusive and valued kickback -- the buyers "prefer" a certain supplier because they are feted.

Bill Gates should have been able to walk through any building on his campus, pick a girl, fuck her in the break room, and then have HR and Legal pay off anyone around and cover his tracks.

Having spent time on Wall Street I can tell you this is the MO for a lot of people. Epstein didn’t make the mold. He took what he learned at Bear Stearns advising wealthy people and parlayed it into an enterprise. There are a lot of people who make him look like an amateur. They all have the same formulations including people who “procure” participants in whatever needs to be done. They all cause the wealthy clients for the money. Period. This isn’t that hard.

good point, guys. It is well known, among people like garrett, that you can strangle yourself with a necktie and a doorknob. Those claiming you couldn't do the same thing with a bedframe and bit of string are just, I don't know, talking shit. The other thing I can't stand is when they go "hyoid bone! hyoid bone!" And this goes back to ME's saying that usually in hangings, the hyoid bone isn't broken, but in strangulations it is. But then they start leaving out that word "usually," and claim that no hangings EVER result in a broken hyoid bone. Which is just false and why I just cannot deal.

88 >>>The explanation I heard from Benz makes most sense to me: Girls Juice Deals. Epstein was a deal-maker and money launderer, and dealt with the kind of trash that lives in that world. The girls were party-favors - not the subject of the deal. Incidental to the larger purpose.
yeah that's what I think. Military contractors used to provide girls, by which I mean prostitutes, to generals and admirals and Congressmen at their weapons shows. It wasn't a quid pro quo exactly. But people like people who do nice things for them, like introduce them to young girls who are for some reason very, very interested in 60 year old fat congressmen. Posted by: ace ------- Not that my take means much but I have read all the depositions from the Palm Beach days plus a lot of what has been revealed. I don't think that Epstein was himself an actual agent for any party but he was very useful as an IC asset. Benz had provided quite a bit of background on Epstein the trader at Bear Stearns and its relationship with BCCI. BCCI, for those not around in the 80's, was an IC dominated bank out of Pakistan that did all kinds of money laundering for the intel community. Look up the Safari Club.

I don't want to be a poopy head but running a sex ring where people paid him to have sex with kids is IMO not much different than providing an island where the rich and famous could go and have sex with kids and not get caught amounts to basically the same thing.
no but a more casual thing like I suggest would leave little evidence of it behind, which is, apparently what accords with the evidentiary record we have, which doesn't show that kind of a quid pro quo blackmail/extortion ring Posted by: ace at February 09, 2026 04:31 PM I agree with that, he was probably not extorting or blackmailing people he invited to his island to get their freak on.

Posted by: David Carradine and Michael Hutchins at February 09, 2026 04:32 PM (6rdCx)/i] Epstein didn't have an overhang to use to properly hang himself. The argument from the prison was that he fashioned a rope from his sheets, then tired it to his bed, that angled himself so that created enough tension to choke himself and break his hyoid bone. Essentially if you can't hang from something above you it makes things way harder to do. Crowder tried it and couldn't get enough force to break the hyoid bone and the other problem is you had to push to generate the needed tension so when you pass out you lose the tension which means you won't die.

An intel asset is kind of like a criminal informer for the Feebs. They may in fact be criminals, like Whitey Bulger, and their handlers can go so far as to cover up crimes their CI did in Mass for teh alleged greater good. Mueller got dirtied in that particular op and the FBI handler ended up going to prison over it. Three innocent guys were named for a murder that Whitey's gang committed and went to prison for it resulting in a huge settlement of the lawsuit when it came out.
For the IC folks, an asset is someone not an employee but useful for advancing missions (like untraceable money laundering, providing information to agents, connections as to get close to someone for actions by a real agent, or to influence others to play ball via recruitment etc. for the true agents. Most informed speculation on IC matters have pointed at Epstein as a financier and an asset of influence. If there was an agent handler, that would probably be Ghislaine as her dad was definitely one to the extent that through his publishing of Breznev's books in the West, Robert Maxwell got up to private chats with Breznev for MI-6 that the KGB actively fought against.

_________________________ Sure, there's evidence that will never be seen. Take a closer look at Epstein's first arrest back in 2008. He had like 13 charges against him laboriously put together by Palm Beach Police. Then, the Feds stepped in and dropped all but two of the lesser crimes in days. They, ALSO, gave him a NPA (Non-Prosecution Agreement) despite Epstein having no leverage. They didn't even tell the victims that they agreed to that (which is very rare). Then, he was only sentenced to a half-way house with no records showing he even showed up. Occam's Razor suggests a deal to provide something to the Feds (or alphabet agency) in exchange for the dropped charges (Alexander Acosta gave him that deal for some reason). I don't think Epstein or Maxwell had any sort of list. I think they got assignments from a federal agency sporadically.

I mean, there is a lot we can infer about what Jeffrey Epstein was and what his main job was, I think he started out as an asset that could make bad paper go away and who could hide and acquire money in the time before the internet, he then morphed into an asset the ic could use to monitor and control the aspects of finance, tech and certain echelons of royalty and Hollywood.
The child pedo stuff may have been reserved for him and select members who were into that sort of thing. But I think his main purpose post, say 2006 was, the same thing that Carter Page was used for, Epstein is talking to these people, they can now be surveiled by the LE/IC. Again, his story starts by being hired by Donald Barr, his story ends with him dying in prison run by Bill Barr. That not irony. That's something else.

To repeat:
Neither Epstein nor any of his buddies were, technically, "pedophiles." What they were was "epheobophiles" There is a big difference. Just to get everyone caught up on the terminology: Pedophilia -- attraction PRE-PUBESCENT children (i.e. ages 0 - ~11). Hebephila — attraction to PUBESCENT and EARLY ADOLESCENT children (i.e. ages ~12 - ~14). Ephobophilia -- attraction to ADOLESCENT people (i.e. ages ~15 - ~1 Look it up if you don't believe me. I've never seen any proof, evidence or even suggestion that Epstein went for pre-pubescent children, or even that he went after 12/13-years olds. It has only ever been alleged that he went after, basically, teenage girls. Yes, it's illegal (in most jurisdictions), and it's considered morally wrong to seduce a minor, but the level of ephebophilia's immorality in our culture is considered much less than it is for actual pedophilia. The majority of adult males are capable of being attracted to a teenage girl, if she's mature-enough looking. People are acting like Epstein's actions are grotesquely perverted, but every rock song about "jailbait" says otherwise.

So did one of the Podestas, as did Jamie Lee Curtis seen in one such backdrop of an interview. Our elites are sick bastards by and large. But I think they hung with Epstein because he was a sick bastard too rather than being blackmailed by it.
I remember the Curtis one - she had a photo by Betsy Schneider of a naked pre-teen girl on her wall and it was noticed when she posted a picture of her office with it on the wall. Obviously as we see in the art threads here art is a very individual thing but why would you want a naked picture of someone's kid on your wall?

I think one of the most amusing email revelations was Bill Gates getting the clap from Russian hookers and then trying to get Epstein to give him anti-biotics he could slip his wife on the sly so she wouldn't know that Bill passed the clap along to her.

but some alleged conspiracies are just too big to believe that no one ever blew the whistle
This is such a weird default position for people who are living in a timeline in which astroturf politics, including protests and other organized mayhem, funding through government cutouts, like NGOs is a thing. Or one in which coordinated government censorship of social media and the internet took place behind the scenes. All without whistleblowers coming forward when it was occuring.

The explanation I saw for that was that Epstein went nuts on some keto fad, and was truly obsessed with it. I guess that could be plausible. No idea.

You'd think if he was running a straight child sex ring, he'd have the kids tested regularly so Bill Gates did not give his wife the clap.
If it was JUST a sex ring, then the harm to the client would have damaged that brand. Instead the pedo shit was rolled into the high roller lifestyle epstein was providing these guys. So Chris Tucker gives this girl the clap and she passes it on to Gates and he passes it on to his wife (as an hypothetical.) Fuck, thats horrible.

Two things can be true, Epstein was a pervert and a sexual deviant who might have turned some of his friends and associates onto his freak and he was also a dirty money man that facilitated off the books shit like moving money and weapons with various political leaders.

317 Why is our local ABC affiliate reporting that DHS is going to be defunded by the end of the week?
Posted by: nurse ratched ===== Parts of it are. DHS funding was stripped out of the overall funding bills so it only got a two week extension of funding. Affects other parts of DHS like TSA and Fema. Border Patrol and Ice were funded under the BBB. But a lot of DHS falls under essential employee exceptions to furloughs. So we shall see.

Okay, so maybe Epstein wasn't Mr. Pimp for the Rich and Famous, but quite a few of them have been resigning lately as their names were found in the files. I can't even remember them all. So what gives? Posted by: Blonde Morticia ===== Other than Andrew in UK and Fergie, Peter Mandelson had to resign because it came out that he gave top secret information to Epstein about an impending bank bailout. Starmer's top aide man was also a protege of Mandelson and got some mentions in the files. Plus UK government in particular has a problem with rape and child trafficking in general. Starmer was the Crown Prosecutor over the Rotherham rape cases involving young white Brits and Pakistanis. Norway, the Crown Princess was a top level pervert and a skank and her son has been charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault. Apparently she was a perv herself apart from Epstein.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards yeah, there is "something" to all those weird messages, and iirc, the phrasing was directly from the real pedo language, used to find kids. Then there was the strange art of Podesta, several "not right" factors. Hastert was Speaker of the House for 8 years, then found to be a "pedo". How big a club is it? We'll I'm not in it, so idk.

They did not find blackmail photos or videos, because they did not secure the materials when they raided the island. They came back later, and what they saw the first time was not there anymore.
Also, the Epstein email have nearly a thousand references to pizza, but you should not think this is code. Posted by: MikeN at February 09, 2026 05:22 PM (8uQGY) 339

Jeffrey Epstein as an investor.
He was doing this stuff in the 80's and 90's. People forget that. So, he would do stuff like get people into European bank accounts etc. It sounds so dumb and boring now. But in 1982 that wasn't so easy to do. No internet. So he could make his money by just running a very basic fund like that. Now it sounds so easy and dumb we assume he must have been doing something shady. Posted by: coba at February 09, 2026 05:25 PM (IuIym) 342
Look, I just want the Stephen Paddock files. Is that too much to ask? Deadliest mass shooting in American history. Epstein is scandalous, but much less so than the FBI looking like they're doing a coverup for the IC.
Am I the only one who remembers? The local police stalled on answering questions, using their technically open investigation as an excuse; then when the two-year limit was reached and they had to close it, they didn't make a new excuse for continuing to refuse. It was just, yeah, we got nothin'. It seriously looked like the FBI was forcing the locals to clam up and they resented it, so they just did the bare minimum compliance, without even trying to make it look good. I will never, ever trust the Feds after that, and so those are the files we really need to see, for national healing and restoration of trust.

"He walked away with a wrist slap on something serious that you or i would still be in jail over. The US attny said the deal was IC related. He then winds up dead in max security. The video was off, then years later here it is, wait its missing a minute, no, here it is. Who is walking in the tier in orange?? Nobody knows.

I am not all the way there, but i sure has hell aint pointing and laughing at them either.
Full stop. Posted by: Soooooo at February 09, 2026 04:28 PM (6rdCx)" Concur. And I don't know anyone who thinks Epstein's primary modus operandi was charging rich men to have sex with underage kids. The kids were the lingua franca, the thing that brought these evil people together, the shared interest that made them one of the members of the club. There are hundreds of emails already unearthed that are either totally nonsensical, or are made up of code language talking about something else. And those emails point to horrors too hideous to imagine. Posted by: Sloucho at February 09, 2026 06:12 PM (B9ht/) 347
