Super High Five Me!

A comprehensive investigation reveals that the story of Jeffrey Epstein is not merely a sordid chronicle of sexual predation, but the anatomy of a sophisticated, transnational influence operation. Operating for decades, this network served as a nexus for financial power, foreign intelligence, geopolitical agendas, and, crucially, a system of blackmail and protection that reached the highest echelons of global power. The newly released documents, while heavily redacted, confirm the outlines of an operation whose primary currency was not sex, but access, information, and leverage.

### **PART I: THE FINANCIAL & GEOPOLITICAL ORIGINS**

#### **The Patron: Les Wexner and The "Mega Group"**

Jeffrey Epstein's transformation from an obscure college dropout into a man of vast, unexplained wealth hinges on his relationship with one man: Leslie "Les" Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria's Secret and The Limited. In the late 1980s, Wexner granted Epstein sweeping control over his personal fortune and philanthropic foundation, including **power of attorney**, a staggering act of trust for a man with no formal financial pedigree.

This relationship was not random. Wexner is a central figure in the **"Mega Group"** (originally the Study Group), an informal, secretive consortium of Jewish-American billionaires founded in 1991 by Wexner and Seagram's heir Charles Bronfman. Its mission was described by a member as devotion to the state of Israel. The Mega Group is described as having contacts with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and serving as a "vehicle for influence operations in the United States". Epstein used this pro-Israel, intelligence-adjacent network as his primary entry point into the global elite, using Wexner's money and credibility to build his own identity.

#### **The Intelligence Bridge: Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine**

Epstein's introduction to the world of intelligence is personified by **Robert Maxwell**, the British media mogul and father of Ghislaine Maxwell. Multiple intelligence sources confirm Robert Maxwell was a **confirmed Mossad asset**. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1991 after being accused of plundering his employees' pension funds; Epstein reportedly helped him hide millions in offshore accounts.

Before his death, Robert Maxwell reportedly gave Epstein his imprimatur. When Ghislaine Maxwell began seeing Epstein, her father didn't run a background check; he called his friends at Bear Stearns, Jimmy Cayne and Ace Greenberg—both deeply connected to the same pro-Israel circles—who vouched for Epstein despite knowing he had been fired for fabricating credentials. Through Ghislaine, Epstein inherited not just a socialite accomplice, but direct access to a legacy of intelligence service.

### **PART II: THE OPERATION: BLACKMAIL, BROKERING, AND THE HONEYPOT**

#### **The Core Model: Kompromat as Currency**

Survivors, employees, and lawyers have consistently described Epstein's properties as being wired with **24-hour surveillance cameras in every room**, including bedrooms and massage rooms. The purpose, according to victim testimony and investigative analysis, was not security, but the production of **kompromat**—compromising material. This is the hallmark of a classic "honeypot" intelligence operation.

Epstein's own words support this. In a 2011 deposition, victim **Virginia Giuffre** testified that Epstein told her he had **"compromising" information on Bill Clinton and that the former president "owes me a favor"**. The operational goal was to ensnare powerful individuals, creating unspoken debts and leverage.

#### **The First Cover-Up: The 2008 Plea Deal**

This leverage first manifested in **2008**. Facing a 53-page federal indictment that could have sent him to prison for life, Epstein secured a shockingly lenient plea deal. He pleaded guilty to minimal state charges, served **13 months in a county jail with 12-hour daily work release**, and—critically—the federal government granted immunity to him and all unnamed "potential co-conspirators".

The architect of this deal, then-U.S. Attorney **Alexander Acosta**, later revealed to Trump White House interviewers that he was told to back off because **Epstein "belonged to intelligence" and to "leave it alone"**. The system, it seemed, was already protecting its own.

### **PART III: THE NETWORK: POLITICAL, INTELLIGENCE, AND GEOPOLITICAL TIES**

#### **The Israeli Intelligence Nexus: Ehud Barak and Yoni Koren**

Leaked emails and calendar entries prove that from 2013 to 2017, former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister **Ehud Barak** visited Epstein's Manhattan mansion on a **near-monthly basis**, meeting him at least 36 times. Their correspondence shows Epstein acting as Barak's unofficial **financial adviser, business broker, and geopolitical fixer**. He advised on investments in Israeli cybersecurity and drone companies and attempted to set up a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian civil war.

Even more telling, a senior Israeli intelligence officer and Barak's longtime aide, **Yoni Koren**, lived for weeks at a time in Epstein's New York apartment between 2013 and 2015. At the same time, the NSA was surveilling both Barak and Koren. This was not a social visit; it was a node of intelligence activity hosted by an American financier.

#### **The U.S. Political Axis: Clinton and Trump**

Epstein cultivated bipartisan political access. White House logs show he visited **Bill Clinton's White House 17 times**, often with a different young woman. Flight logs show Clinton took at least 17 trips on Epstein's "Lolita Express" private jet.

His relationship with **Donald Trump** was deeper and more long-standing. A former Trump casino executive stated Epstein was Trump's **"best friend"** for years in the late 80s and early 90s. A 2020 prosecutor's email confirms Trump flew on Epstein's jet **"many more times than previously...reported,"** with records of at least eight flights between 1993-1996. On some flights, the other passengers were young women later identified as "possible witnesses" in the Maxwell case.

In 2002, Trump praised Epstein to *New York Magazine*: **"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy... It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"**. Their falling out, Trump claims, occurred when he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for harassing a member's teenage daughter. Notably, this was also the primary recruitment ground for Epstein's victims, including Virginia Giuffre.

### **PART IV: THE TECH AND CRYPTO INFILTRATION**

#### **Buying the Future: MIT, Bitcoin, and Silicon Valley**

Even after his 2008 conviction, Epstein deepened his ties to the architects of the digital age. He was a member of the **Edge Foundation**, a private "brains trust" for founders like Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, and Elon Musk. Through it, he connected with **Joi Ito**, director of the MIT Media Lab, who solicited donations from Epstein despite him being flagged in MIT's own donor database. Between 2013-2017, Epstein donated at least **$525,000** to the Media Lab.

In **April 2015**, a pivotal event occurred. Ito emailed Epstein an internal summary: the Bitcoin Foundation, which funded the cryptocurrency's core development, had collapsed. Ito wrote that MIT had **"moved quickly," using "gift funds"**—Epstein's money—to hire three of Bitcoin's five core developers, including lead developer Gavin Andresen. **"This is a big win for us,"** Ito told Epstein.

Months later, Ito and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman invited Epstein to a dinner in Palo Alto with **Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Peter Thiel**. Epstein had already invested **$40 million** in Thiel's Valar Ventures by 2016. Thiel, who would become a key Trump adviser, is a vocal proponent of Bitcoin as a tool to bypass state control. This circle placed Epstein at the intersection of cryptocurrency, Silicon Valley power, and the emerging "tech right" that would merge with Trump's political project.

#### **The PayPal Mafia and Political Power**

This connection became political reality. Thiel, Musk, and their "PayPal Mafia" associate David Sacks became central figures in Trump's second administration. Musk became a senior advisor and head of a new government efficiency department, while Sacks was named "AI and Crypto Czar". The network Epstein financially supported and socially cultivated was now in direct control of U.S. policy on the very technologies he had sought to influence.

### **PART V: THE FINAL ACT: DEATH, COVER-UP, AND THE FIGHT FOR FILES**

#### **A Convenient Death**

On **August 10, 2019**, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell. Officially ruled a suicide, the circumstances ignited immediate suspicion: malfunctioning cameras, guards who fell asleep, and broken bones in Epstein's neck more consistent with homicide. His brother hired a private pathologist who found evidence suggestive of strangulation. The death permanently silenced the man who could name names and reveal operational secrets.

#### **The Political Cover-Up: A Broken Promise**

During the 2024 campaign, Trump and his Attorney General-designate, Pam Bondi, **promised to "release the Epstein files"** and expose the client list. This pledge energized his base. Once in office, the administration reversed course. In July 2025, the Trump Justice Department announced **no more files would be released** and that no "client list" existed. Trump began calling the matter a "hoax".

Under massive bipartisan pressure, Congress passed the **Epstein Files Transparency Act**, which Trump signed. It required full disclosure by December 19, 2025. The DOJ missed this legal deadline. The released documents were **heavily redacted**, with over 550 pages fully blacked out. An FBI email from 2019 discussing **10 possible "co-conspirators"** was released, but seven names were redacted. Two that were not: Ghislaine Maxwell and Les Wexner.

Most provocatively, files briefly posted online then disappeared. One was **File 468**, an image of a desk drawer containing a photo of Trump, Melania, Epstein, and Maxwell. The DOJ offered no explanation for its removal. Bill Clinton's spokesman accused the administration of using old photos of Clinton to distract while **"shielding themselves from what comes next"**.

### **CONCLUSION: THE IMPLICATIONS**

The evidence reveals a coherent, terrifying picture. Jeffrey Epstein was not a lone predator. He was the hub of a **multi-purpose influence network**:

1. **Financed** by pro-Israel billionaires via the Mega Group.

2. **Protected** by intelligence connections, first through Robert Maxwell and later through his operational relationship with Ehud Barak and Mossad.

3. **Operated** as a blackmail factory, producing kompromat on powerful figures like Clinton and, by proximity, Trump.

4. **Extended** into the future of power through Silicon Valley and Bitcoin, embedding himself in the networks of Thiel and Musk.

5. **Shielded** by the ultimate political power: first via a suspicious plea deal, and later by an administration that promised transparency but delivered obstruction.
