Page 1 of 1 EPSTEIN'S SUBPRIME EXPOSURE By RODDY BOYD July 17, 2007 — Jeffrey Epstein, one of the world's most reclusive investors, appears to have gotten his ultra-rich clientele tangled up in one of the now infamous Bear Stearns hedge funds, Securities and Exchange Commission documents show. Known for hobnobbing with everyone from Bill Clinton to leading scientists and mathematicians, Epstein's Virgin Islands-based Financial Trust Co. is listed as a beneficial owner of 10 percent of the equity of the High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund. The SEC documents are not clear on the financial exposure that Epstein and his clients have to the Bear fund. Epstein is said to have fewer than two dozen clients, each of whom is worth at least $1 billion. The Bear fund set off a near-market collapse in the bond market - especially the mortgage-backed securities market - when it reported it was down 23 percent in April and was suspending efforts to pay back investors who wanted their money out of the fund. At its high-water mark, the fund had slightly more than $650 million in assets. While the fund's recent performance figures have not been released, many rivals assume that the fund's capital might have been completely wiped out, given margin calls and collateral seizures. Businessweek.com first reported news of Epstein's investment in the Bear fund. The normally press-shy Epstein shot into the limelight last year when Palm Beach, Fla., police filed an affidavit describing numerous sexual episodes between Epstein and several underage teenage masseuses at his mansion. His lawyers have denied the charges. Epstein did not return a call. NEW YORK POST is a registered trademark of NYP Holdings. Inc.

LOIN<Sa -a Thee Is To Know Aboul LonOm Jeffrey Epstein craved big homes, elite friends - and, investigators say, underage girls Contributed by Andrew 0.Iarra Wednesday. 16 August 2006 WINGED GARGOYLES guarded the gate at Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. Inside, hidden cameras trolled two rooms, while the girls came and went. For the police detectives who sifted through the garbage outside and kept records of visitors, it was the lair of a troubling target. Epstein, one of the most mysterious of the country's mega-rich, was known as much for his secrecy as for his love of fine things: magnificent homes, private jets, beautiful women, friendships with the world's elite. But at Palm Beach police headquarters, he was becoming known for something else: the regular arrival of teenage girls he hired to give him massages and, police say, perform sexual favors. Epstein was different from most sexual abuse suspects; he was far more powerful. He counted among his friends former President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, along with some of the most prominent legal, scientific and business minds in the country. When detectives started asking questions and teenage girls started talking, a wave of legal resistance followed. If Palm Beach police didn't know quite who Jeffrey Epstein was, they found out soon enough. Epstein, now 53, was a quintessential man of mystery. He amassed his fortune and friends quietly, always in the background as he navigated New York high society. When he first attracted notice in the early 1990s, it was on account of the woman he was dating: Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late British media tycoon Robert Maxwell. In a lengthy article, headlined "The Mystery of Ghislaine Maxwell's Secret Love," the British Mail on Sunday tabloid laid out speculative stories that the socialite's beau was a CIA spook, a math teacher, a concert pianist or a corporate headhunter. "But what is the truth about him?" the newspaper wondered. like Maxwell, Epstein is both flamboyant and intensely private." The media frenzy did not begin in full until a decade later. In September 2002, Epstein was flung into the limelight when he flew Clinton and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker to Africa on his private jet. Suddenly everyone wanted to know who Epstein was. New York magazine and Vanity Fair published lengthy profiles. The New York Post listed him as one of the citys most eligible bachelors and began describing him in its gossip columns with adjectives such as "mysterious" and "reclusive." Although Epstein gave no interviews, the broad strokes of his past started to come into focus. Building a life of extravagance He was born blue-collar in 1953, the son of a New York City parks department employee, and raised in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. He left college without a bachelor's degree but became a math teacher at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan. The story goes that the father of one of Epstein's students was so impressed with the man that he put him in touch with a senior partner at Bear Stearns, the global investment bank and securities firm. In 1976, Epstein left Dalton for a job at Bear Stearns. By the early 1960s, he had started J. Epstein and Co. That is when he began making his millions in earnest. Little is known or said about Epstein's business except this: He manages money for the extremely wealthy. He is said to handle accounts only of $1 billion or greater. It has been estimated he has roughly 15 clients, but their identities are the subject of only speculation. All except for one: ra0,50on v0µaa oro Poen+ J000)-34 Generoleci. 27 Aty.

retail& . Al Then) es To '<rev, Aboui Zwesn Leslie Wexner, founder of The Limited retail chain and a former Palm Beecher who is said to have been a mentor to Epstein. Wexner sold Epstein one of his most lavish residences: a massive townhouse that dominates a block on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It is reported to have, among its finer features, closed-circuit television and a heated sidewalk to melt away fallen snow. That townhouse, thought to be the largest private residence in Manhattan, is only a piece of the extravagant world Epstein built over time. In New Mexico, he constructed a 27,000-square-foot hilltop mansion on a 10,000-acre ranch outside Santa Fe. Many believed it to be the largest home in the state. In Palm Beach, he bought a waterfront home on El Effillo Way. And he owns a 100-acre private Island in the Virgin Islands. Perhaps as remarkable as his lavish homes is his extensive network of friends and associates at the highest echelons of power. This includes not only socialites but also business tycoons, media moguls, politicians, royalty and Nobel Prize- winning scientists whose research he often funds. "Just like other people collect art, he collects scientists," said Martin Nowak, who directs the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University and was reportedly the recipient of a $30 million research donation from Epstein. Epstein is said to have befriended former Harvard President Larry Summers, prominent law Professor Alan Dershowitz, Donald Trump and New York Daily News Publisher Mort Zuckerman. And yet he managed for decades to maintain a low profile. He avoids eating out and was rarely photographed. "The odd thing is I never met him," said Dominick Dunne, the famous chronicler of the trials and tribulations of the very rich. "I wasn't even aware of him," except for a Vanity Fair article. Epstein's friendship with Clinton has attracted the most attention. Epstein met Clinton as early as 1995, when he paid tens of thousands of dollars to join him at an intimate fund-raising dinner in Palm Beach. But from all appearances, they did not become close friends until after Clinton left the Oval Office and moved to New York. Epstein has donated more than $100,000 to Democratic candidates' campaigns, including John Kerry's presidential bid, the reelection campaign of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and the Senate bids of Joe Lieberman, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer. Powerful friends and enemies A Vanity Fair profile found cracks in the veneer of Epstein's life story. The 2003 article said he left Bear Stearns in the wake of a federal probe and a possible Securities and Exchange Commission violation. It also pointed out that Citibank once sued him for defaulting on a $20 million loan. The article suggested that one of his business mentors and previous employers was Steven Hoffenberg, now serving a prison term after "bilking investors out of more than $450 million in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American history." As he amassed his wealth, Epstein made enemies in disputes both large and small. He sued the man who in 1990 sold him his multimillion-dollar Palm Beach home over a dispute about less than $16,000 in furnishings. A former friend claimed Epstein backed out of a promise to reimburse him hundreds of thousands of dollars after their failed investment In Texas oil wells. A judge decided Epstein owed him nothing. "Ws a bad memory. I would rather not have ever met Jeffrey Epstein,' said Michael Stroll, the retired former president of Williams Electronics and Sega Corp. "Suffice it to say I have nothing good to say about him." Among the characteristics most attributed to Epstein is a penchant for women. He has been linked to Maxwell, a fixture on the high-society party circuits in both New York and London. Previous girlfriends are said to include a former Ms. Sweden and a Romanian model. "He's a lot of fun to be with," Donald Trump told New York magazine in 2002. "It is even said that he likes beautiful hillpihr.w.nopaliaifig Post ar Jetaidal Gmwelect. 27 A4.2007.0416 EFTA01682187
&Pedro • Al There b re Knew ANN Zionism women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life." Investigation leads to Epstein Although he was not a frequenter of the Palm Beach social scene, he made his presence felt. Among his charitable donations, he gave $90,000 to the Palm Beach Police Department and $100,000 to Ballet Florida. In Palm Beach, he lived In luxury. Three black Mercedes sat in his garage, alOngside a green Harley-Davidson. His Jet waited at a hangar at Palm Beach International Airport. At home, a private chef and a small staff stood at the ready. From a window in his mansion, he could look out on the Intracoastal Waterway and the West Palm Beach skyline. He seemed to be a man who had everything. But extraordinary wealth can fuel extraordinary desires. In March 2005, a worried mother contacted Palm Beach police. She said another parent had overheard a conversation between their children. Now the mother was afraid her 14-year-old daughter had been molested by a man on the island. The phone call triggered an extensive investigation, one that would lead detectives to Epstein but leave them frustrated. Palm Beach police and the state attorney's office have declined to discuss the case. But a Palm Beach police report detailing the criminal probe offers a window Into what detectives faced as they sought to close In on Epstein. Detectives interviewed the girl, who told them a friend had invited her to a rich man's house to perform a massage. She said the friend told her to say she was 18 if asked. At the house, she said she was paid $300 after stripping to her panties and massaging the man while he masturbated. Police interview 5 alleged victims The investigation began in full after the girl identified Epstein in a photo as the man who had paid her. Police arranged for garbage trucks to set aside Epstein's trash so police could sift through it. They set up a video camera to record the comings and goings at his home. They monitored an airport hangar for signs of his private jet's arrivals and departures. The uickl learned that the woman who took the 14-year-old girl to Epstein's house was In a sworn statement at police headquarters, en a mi e se a a ken a eas six gir s o v sf ps ein, alt between the ages of 14 and 16. Epstein par er or each sit, she said. During the drive back to her house, told detectives, "I'm like a Heidi Fleiss." Police interviewed five alleged victims and 17 witnesses. Their report shows some of the girls said they had been instructed to have sex with another woman in front of Epstein, and one said she had direct intercourse with him. In October, police searched the Palm Beach mansion. They discovered photos of naked, young-looking females, just as several of the girls had described in interviews. Hidden cameras were found in the garage area and inside a clock on Epstein's desk, alongside a girl's high school transcript. Two of Epstein's former employees told investigators that young-looking girls showed up to perform massages two or three times a day when Epstein was in town. They said the girls were permitted many indulgences. A chef cooked for them. Workers gave them rides and handed out hundreds of dollars at a time. One employee told detectives he was told to send a dozen roses to one teenage girl after a high school drama performance. Others were given rental cars. One, according to police, received a $200 Christmas bonus. The cops moved to cement their case. But as they tried to tighten the noose, they encountered other forces at work. In Orlando they interviewed a possible victim who told them nothing inappropriate had happened between her and Epstein. They asked her whether she had spoken to anyone else. She said yes, a private investigator had asked her the same questions. When they subpoenaed one of Epstein's former employees, he told them the same thing. He and a private eye had met at a restaurant days earlier to go over what the man would tell investigators. tilvAvmvempeetorg Pawed by Joental Generated: 27 Aly. 2C07, 04:35 EFTA01682188
reedie • NI There Is To VarreAbeut Vvtn, Detectives received complaints that private eyes were posing as police officers. When they told Epstein's local attorney, Guy Fronstin, he said the investigators worked for Roy Black, the high-powered Miami lawyer who has defended the likes of Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith. While the private eyes were conducting a parallel investigation, Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor, traveled to West Palm Beach with information about the girls. From their own profiles on the popular Web site MySpace.com, he obtained copies of their discussions about their use of alcohol and marijuana. He took his research to a meeting with prosecutors in early 2006, wheie he sought to cast doubt on the teens' reliability. The private eyes had dug up enough dirt on the girls to make prosecutors skeptical. Not only did some of the girls have issues with drugs or alcohol but also some had criminal records and other troubles, Epstein's legal team claimed. And at least one of them, they said, lied when she told police she was younger than 18 when she started performing massages for Epstein. After the meeting, prosecutors postponed their decision to take the case to a grand jury.ln the following weeks, police received complaints that two of the victims or their families had been harassed or threatened. Epstein's legal team maintains that its private investigators did nothing illegal or unethical during their research. By then, relations between police and prosecutors were fraying. At a key meeting with prosecutors and the defense, Detective , the lead investigator, was a no-show, according to Epstein's attorney.By then, relations between po ice an prosecutors were fraying. At a key meeting with prosecutors and the defense, Detective the lead investigator, was a no-show, according to Epstein's attorney. 'The embarrassment on the prosecutor's face was evident when the police officer never showed up for the meeting," attorney Jack Goldberger said. Later in April, Recarey walked into a prosecutor's office at the state attorneys office and learned the case was taking an unexpected turn. The prosecutoMlia. told the state attorney's office had offered Epstein a plea deal that would not require him to serve jai me or receive a e y conviction. Recarey told her he disapproved of the plea offer. The deal never came to pass, however. Future unclear after charge On May 1, the department asked prosecutors to approve warrants to arrest Epstein on four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and to charge his personal assistant, , now 27, for her alleged role in arranging the visits. Police officials also wanted to charge the se escn d Heidi Fleiss, with lewd and lascivious acts. By then, the department was frustrated with the way th office had handled the case. n the same day the warrants were requested, Palm Beach Police Chief wrote a letter to State Attorney suggesting he disqualify himself from the case if he would not act. Two weeks later, Recarey was told that prosecutors had decided once again to take the case to the grand jury.it is not known how many of the girls testified before the grand jury. But Epstein's defense team said one girl who was subpoenaed — the one who said she had sexual intercourse with Epstein — never showed up. The grand jury's Indictment was handed down in July. It was not the one the police department had wanted.The grand jury's indictment was handed down in July. It was not the one the police department had wanted. Instead of being slapped with a charge of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, Epstein was charged with one count of felony solicitation of prostitution, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. He was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail early July 23 and released hours later. Epstein's legal team -doesn't dispute that he had girls over for massages," Goldberger said. But he said their claims that they had sexual encounters with him lack credibility. 'They are incapable of being believed," he said. "They had criminal records. They had accusations of theft made against them by their employers. There was evidence of drug use by some of them? MulhwriaCedis.080 Pootted bf Jetta! nenlett. 2007. EFTA01682189

It also has returned the $90,000 Epste donated in 2004. In New York, candidates for governor and state attomey general have vowed to return a total of at least $60,000 in campaign contributions from Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein's powerful friends have remained silent as tabloids and Internet blogs feast on the public details of the police investigation. n Goldberger maintains Epstein's innocence but says the legal team has not ruled out a future plea deal.

In that case, evidence taken from the pan-time Palm Beacher's home showed that he knew from a high school transcript and class schedules that the girls were underage. The teens' presumed promiscuity also factored in Mr. Krischer's refusal to pursue cases involving men who impregnated girls. It took at least two additional accusations before the office charged Brian Joseph Taylor, the former athletic director of Pope John Paul II High School in Boca Raton, with a single count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Such decisions not only teat victims as though they deserved what they got; they free suspects to repeat crimes.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA IN RE GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS DUCES TECUM NUMBERS OLY-63 and OLY-64 FGJ 07-103(WPB) UNDERP,A DECLARATION OF state that the following is true and correct to the best of my information and belief: 1. I am currently employed as a detective with the Town of Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD") and have been so employed for the past 16 years. 2. Beginning in September, 2005, I was the lead investigator in PBPD's investigation ofJeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and his lewd and lascivious conduct with minors. 3. Prior to my involvement in that investigation, as part of my employment with PBPD, I was asked to go to Jeffrey Epstein's home in October of 2003, to assist in an investigation of a possible theft. While present in Mr. Epstein's home, I was asked to assist in the installation of some temporary surveillance cameras. I also observed the pre-existing security system, which included the automatic downloading of the images from the pre- existing security cameras onto a personal computer. This personal computer was located in an area that appeared to be office. I know from my investigation that EFTA01682194
=works as a personal assistant to Mr. Epstein. After completing the theft investigation, the temporary surveillance cameras were removed, but I believe that the pre-existing security cameras remained. 4. While present in the house, I also observed two other computers — one in an area I refer to as "Jeffrey Epstein's office," and the other in the pool cabana. 5. In October 2005, as part of my investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, I approached the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office ("SAO") about obtaining a search warrant. I know that, prior to that date, Mr. Epstein was aware of an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by the Palm Beach Police. Department. 6. On October 18, 2005, with the help of the SAO, I prepared a Search Warrant Application and Affidavit and presented them to Judge Laura Johnson for her signature. The judge granted the warrant and it was executed on October 20, 2005. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-1 is a true and correct copy of the warrant application and the warrant signed by Judge Johnson. Among the items that I was authorized to search for and seize was: (1) Computers, including any electronic magnetic, optical, electrochemical, or other high speed data processing device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions; data storage facilities such as magnetic tape, hard disk, floppy disk or drum, or cd rom; communications facilities directly relating to or operating in conjunction with such device; devices for printing records of data; and such records or data Page 2 of 4 EFTA01682195
produced in various forms; manuals, documents, or instructional material relating to such devices. (2) Computer, personal computers, computer peripherals, modems, computer printers, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, diskettes, tapes, computer printouts, software, computer programs and applications, computer manuals, system documentation. 7. When the search warrant was executed, several items were conspicuously absent. For example, there were several hanging file folders that had their contents removed, and the pre-existing security cameras that I had observed during my last visit to Mr. Epstein's residence were in place but were not connected to recording equipment. In addition, at each location where a computer had been present, computer monitors, printers, and other peripheral devices were present but the computers (CPU-Central processing unit) themselves were removed. 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-2 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was Jeffrey Epstein's office. 9. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-3 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was office. Also located in that office were cables connected to surveillance recording equipment located throughout the home. The cables were not connected to any computer, but were near Page 3 of 4 EFTA01682196
the area from which the CPU was removed, leading me to believe that they had been connected to the removed CPU. 10. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-4 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the pool cabana. 11. One older CPU was discovered during the search, which contained video segments showing the presence of various persons in the house, including possibly one or more victims from the security cameras. There also was a video segment showing Jeffrey Epstein working at his desk in his office. 12. In the Spring of 2006, I approached the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") about assisting in the investigation of possible federal charges against Mr. Epstein. The FBI began an independent investigation. I have been called upon to provide background information, but I have not been actively involved in the FBI's investigation. I am not aware of the present location of the computers removed from Mr. Epstein's home. I declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed this day of July, 2007.

Bruce McMahan, the 65-year-old dude who married his daughter in Westminster Abbey and who used to work with Jeffrey Epstein. The original reporter Kelly Cramer follows up in this week's issue of the Voice. with a profile of Elena McMahan, Bruce's fifth (non- blood-related) wife. We've pulled out all the good parts for you. And by good we mean really gross. • "It was at the Pelham house that Linda claims her father first began seducing her, in 1998. She testified that they had sex for the first time in a hotel in London that year on a business trip, and that they carried on an incestuous relationship practically up to the day she married another man, Sargent Schutt, in 1999. After breaking off their affair for a few years, Linda testified that it started up again when McMahan brought her to Fisher Island to recuperate after an illness." • "Most gruesomely, Schutt discovered a vibrator in Linda's luggage after one of her trips to Fisher Island, and had it analyzed for DNA. The sex toy tested positive for Linda's skin cells, as well as the sperm cells of her biological father." all next http://gawker.corn/news/flowers-in-the-attic/the-father+daughter-marriage-story-migrates-north-270616.php 7/10/2007 EFTA01682204
Flowers In The Attic: The Father-Daughter Marriage Story Migrates North - Gawker Page 2 of 7 • "According to Linda's testimony, it was the most intense time of a years-long illicit relationship with her father. Beyond simply having sex, she claimed that her father wanted to keep her away from Schutt, her legal husband in Mississippi, and wanted to formalize their affair. In June 2004, after purchasing Cartier wedding rings, Bruce and Linda flew to London and had some kind of ceremony performed inside Westminster Abbey, took photos outside like any other newly married couple, and then began referring to each other as husband and wife in their e-mails." • "Because McMahan keeps his wife locked out of the home's main wing, she can't show us the study and bedroom where, Linda testified, he seduced her by showing her the first half-hour of the movie Braueheart and wondering if the two of them had been married in past lives."

At some point in our careers, most of us are forced to work with someone whose people skills can only be described as atrocious. Sometimes our companies wisely get rid of these people, but they are like weeds. Pluck one, and within seconds another will sprout up in its place. The dread that comes with having to regularly interact with someone who is routinely negative, argumentative, stressed out, or mean can make your job a wholly unpleasant experience — if you let it. Your first instinct might be to go out of your way to avoid working with Mr. (or Ms.) Difficult, and if you can pull it off, more power to you. Often, though, this is not an option, and whether Mr. Difficult is your boss, a colleague, or a senior executive, you must prepare for each meeting with him like you are going into battle. Swallow your apprehension. Remind yourself that no one has the power to control how you feel and suit up your armor so that nothing he says or does wounds you deeply. Take a deep breath and walk calmly into Mr. Difficult's office. Speak to him in a controlled, cheerful, and reasonable tone. Get the information you need and get out. Negativity and stress can be highly contagious, so don't allow yourself to get sucked in. Mr. Difficult's arrows can be easier to deflect when he's an equal opportunity shooter. You might even joke about him with your other colleagues: "Oh, you're working with Mr. Difficult on that? I'm so sorry. I hear a bunch of people are getting a hitman if you want to contribute." It's easy to become demoralized, however, when Mr. Difficult saves his best poison just for you. One of my early bosses, for example, couldn't stand me. She was sweet as apple pie to the rest of our colleagues, and to the best of my knowledge, I didn't do anything specific to incur her wrath. Inexplicably, though, whenever I came around she turned into the wicked witch of the west.

How to Cope with the Jerk at Work - The Capessa Blog: Sharing the Wisdom of Women ... Page 2 of 3 Your best bet in this type of scenario is to sit down with your Mr. Difficult and have a heart to heart. Tell him how you are feeling. assume that he doesn't mean to act like the devil incarnate. and give him the benefit of the doubt Solicit his feedback regarding how the two of you can improve the relationship and then give him a chance to do right by you. If this doesn't work and he continues to regularly use you as target practice. remove yourself from the situation No job is worth your self-esteem One caveat to all this: Human beings operate with such different styles that it's impossible for us to get along with all of our colleagues all of the time. You could be the most agreeable person on earth, but I guarantee that someone at work will find a reason not to like you. Maybe she isn't blatantly obvious or malicious like Mr. Difficult, but you can feel her negativity just the same. She might walk right past your desk without saying good morning and probably doesn't engage in friendly conversation with you the way she does with other people in the office For those of us with a sensitive streak, this type of behavior can be hurtful too What did you do to her anyway? Why won't she give you a fair shot? As natural as it is to fixate on the situation, if it's not affecting your daily working life or your career path. refuse to take it personally and go about your business Focus on your reasons for being at work and save your energy for the people in the office who deserve it.

June 24. 2007 We've heard the expression that "any publicity is good publicity." but Palm Beach winter rez Daniel Borislow might beg to differ. The telecom billionaire and his Tenafly. N.J.-based D&K Charitable Foundation came under fire from the North Jersey Record recently, after allegations of improperly benefiting from tax breaks. inappropriately directing money to for-profit businesses. and excessively compensating two of its executives — one of whom is Borislow. Borislow set up the 10-year-old foundation with a stock donation worth $21 million, which would yield a tax deduction of $6 million to $10.5 million — and no capital gains to pay, the Record said. But nearly half of the foundation's spending over the past 10 years. it said. has gone to "pay" Borislow or George Farley. the chief financial officer — $1.7 million to Borislow and $1.2 million to Farley. Its actual charitable donations of $1.6 million were called "questionable" by the Record, including the attempted purchase of a horse farm and donations to a for-profit medical business. Borislow declined to comment for the Record article. Farley told the newspaper the pay was appropriate. citing the time and effort spent "trying to set up a conservation trust ... and giving the development rights away so the property would be conserved for all time and the foundation would maintain it." The property was a horse farm in New Hope, Pa.. near Borislow's then-home. But the project died and the foundation turned to health care, particularly indigent medical care. Clearwater Endoscopy Center and the Center for Digestive Healthcare in Clearwater — whose sole officer is Borislow's brother, David — received grants. Farley told the Record the foundation's focus has turned to donating to established charities — including http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/content/society/sdco10624.html 6/25/2007 EFTA01682214
His foundation pays $1.7M — to him Page 2 of 3 $2.75 million to two yeshivas and $173,450 to a private school in West Palm Beach. Borislow's children attended the Academy of the Palm Beaches, now the Palm Beach Day Academy. Hey, this is Palm Beach — where charity begins at home. Hallowed halls of (poison) ivy — A Rutgers University academic had his soapbox pulled out from under him, and he's blaming massage-loving millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Or maybe lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Or maybe both. Biologist Robert Trivers was scheduled to speak at Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, a curriculum established with a $6.5 million donation from Epstein. But after Trivers, peeved by what he called Dershowitz's "rationalization of Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians," called him a "Nazi-like apologist," the PED had second thoughts. Well, gee Bob, no wonder. It's not like you're sprinkling the place with fairy dust or anything like that. A PED bigwig refused to tell Harvard's Crimson who put the kibosh on the speech, but Trivers points the finger— one of them, anyway — at Dershowitz, who is on the Harvard faculty, or maybe Epstein, whom Dershowitz is defending against charges of soliciting underage prostitutes. A person who answered the phone at Epstein's house said he couldn't come to the phone because he was engrossed in the latest issue of Tiger Beat magazine. OK, that last part is a big fat lie. They remember Mama — A quarter-century after her death in a car accident, the children of Princess Grace are remembering their beloved mother in the most tender and respectful of ways. They're putting all her stuff out there for everybody to gawk at. Prince Albert, Princess Stephanie and Princess Caroline picked hundreds of items from their mother's possessions to go on display at Grimaldi Forum beginning July 12. The display ranges from the intensely personal — a poem Grace wrote for Albert's 18th birthday, home movies, letters from Alfred Hitchcock — to more public items, such as her much-photographed wedding gown, her 1955 Oscar dress and a dress from High Society. Don't want to make the jaunt to Monaco? Not to worry. A smaller version of the exhibit will be at Sotheby's in New York in October. They did — We hear there's a vacancy on the wedding schedule at Bethesda-by-the-Sea. Liz Finkle — granddaughter of the late David and Nettie — was supposed to wed at the landmark church on Nov. 3, but she and her fiancé Stephen Sans "decided to skip the fanfare, and do something completely different." Instead, the pair went to New York's City Hall to get the marriage license and "why not just get married then?" Liz said. "So I called my friend Melissa Ferguson at the Mayor's Fund to come down and witness. When she arrived, we all thought it was such a perfect day — sunny and in the mid-70s — that it would be nice to get married in Central Park. http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/content/society/sdco10624.html 6/25/2007 EFTA01682215

We called my mother, got the children" — Lizzie has two little ones from her previous marriage — "rounded up, and got married. I never even had time to change dresses!"

Bear Stearns' Collateral Damage Page 1 of 3 t. HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP. The UPS Click It( n.; M(Grcu•Nctkcecnaa BusinessWeek Register Sign In TOP NEWS July 11, 2007. 12'01AM EST Bear Stearns' Collateral Damage Money manager Jeffrey Epstein, BNP Paribas, and other investors are mired in Bear's troubled hedge fund that bet big on subprime mortgages by Matthew Goldstein The implosion of a hedge fund often sheds some unwanted attention on the wealthy investors who chose to sink money into the venture. That's certainly the case with an 11-month-old Bear Stearns hedge fund that bet heavily on risky bonds backed by subprime mortgages and is teetering on the verge of collapse (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/9/07 "See Mutually Assured Mayhem:). One of the bigger investors in the troubled Bear Stearns fund is Jeffrey Epstein, a former Bear Steams trader turned money manager for the super-rich, according to regulatory filings. Over the past year, Epstein has garnered his fair share of notoriety and sensational headlines. Last July, prosecutors in Florida charged the onetime math teacher with soliciting sex from prostitutes at his Palm Beach (Fla.) mansion. Palm Beach police also alleged that the 53-year-old Epstein paid teenage girls to give him nude massages, but prosecutors did not charge him with that offense. "MONEY MAN OF MYSTERY" The racy allegations involving Epstein—once labeled New York's most eligible bachelor by the New York Post— have been good fodder for the New York tabloids and gossipy Wall Street Web sites such as Dealbreaker.com. Now it appears Epstein may have another public relations headache on his hands over an ill-fated big bet on a hedge fund set up by Bear Stearns (BSC) last summer—right around the time he was getting into trouble with the law. Epstein's Virgin Islands-based money-management firm, Financial Trust Company, is listed in the SEC filing as a "beneficial owner" of the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage fund. A January filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission describes Epstein's firm as having "the power to vote or dispose of 10% or more of the equity of the hedge fund, which raised $642 million from investors last summer. But the hedge fund's purchasing power was much bigger, given its ability to borrow billions of dollars from banks such as Barclays (BCS), Goldman Sachs (Q) Deutsche Bank (O), Citigroup (a), and Bank of America (BAC). Epstein, who splits his time between Manhattan, Palm Beach, and St. Thomas, didn't return several phone calls. Gerald Lefcourt, one of the criminal defense lawyers helping Epstein fend off the solicitation charge, had no http://www.businessweek.com/print/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2007/db20070710_434383... 7/11/2007 EFTA01682217
Bear Stearns' Collateral Damage Page 2 of 3 comment. Epstein, once described by New York magazine as an "international money man of mystery," reportedly won't take on any clients who aren't billionaires. One of Epstein's longtime clients is Leslie Wexner the billionaire founder and CEO of the Limited Brands (LTD) retail chain. BIG LOSERS Even beyond his money-management business, Epstein has cut a high-profile figure. Over the years, he has befriended powerful politicians, celebrities, and academics, including former President Bill Clinton, Cloak Trump and law professor Alan Dershowitz. Epstein isn't the only supposedly savvy money manager to the super-rich to throw money into the Bear Steams funds. A so-called hedge fund-of-funds managed by Paris-based BNP Paribas (BNP4Y) also is listed on an SEC filing as a beneficial owner of the same beleaguered Bear Stearns fund in which Epstein invested. A BNP spokeswoman declined to comment. A person familiar with BNP's Ozcar Multi-Strategy fund, which invests in a variety of different hedge funds, says the problems at Bear Stearns should have minimal impact on Ozcars performance. Still, this isn't the first time the BNP fund has made a disastrous bet on a hedge fund. The Ozcar fund, and other affiliated BNP funds, invested about $49 million in Wood River Partners, a onetime $127 million hedge fund that went bust in October, 2005, amid allegations of fraudulent trading. On May 30, John Whittier, the former manager of the hedge fund, pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to charges of carrying out a scheme to defraud investors in the fund. The Ozcar fund, of which little is publicly known, is looking at having invested in two big losers in its brief four-year existence. TAINTED REPUTATION? The hedge fund that Epstein and BNP invested in is barely holding on after using billions in borrowed money to buy risky bonds backed by ailing subprime mortgages. The fund was down 23% for the year as of the end of April. Bear Stearns says it will provide a full accounting for the funds' losses sometime next week. In June, Bear Stearns suspended investor redemptions. Some frustrated investors are offering to sell their shares in the beleaguered hedge fund for as little as 10 cents on the dollar in the secondary market. Other investors are contemplating litigation. The Securities and Exchange Commission, meanwhile, has launched a preliminary investigation into the events leading up to the collapse of the fund (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/25/07, " Bear's Big Loss Attracts SEC Atteritign:). r. A sister fund also run by Bear Stearns is faring a bit better, but that's only because the big Wall Street firm has opted to prop up that entity with $1.6 billion in loans (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/22/07, "Bear Stearnsicalle Rescue—Sort Of'). The four-year-old Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Leverage fund was down about 10% as of the end of April. Bear Stearns has suspended investor redemptions in that fund, too. The Wall Street firm, however, has decided not to provide any financing to the younger fund, which was more heavily leveraged and indebted. The near-collapse of the two Bear Stearns funds has sparked widespread concern on Wall Street because both hedge funds used billions in borrowed money to buy sophisticated securities called collateralized debt obligations. Popularly known as CDOs, these bond-like securities are hard-to-value investments that rarely trade. There is fear that the mass liquidation of the CDOs still held by the two hedge funds could cause a widespread devaluation in CDO prices. The trouble with the two hedge funds has already forced a management shakeup at Bear Stearns' asset management division and ultimately may end up sullying its reputation. http://www.businessweek.com/print/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2007/db20070710_434383... 7/11/2007 EFTA01682218

Bruce McMahan who, at the age of 65, married his 35-year-old daughter, Linda Marie Hodge McMahan Schutt. We'd rather not go into the details (save for the hit about their DNA being found on Linda's dildo), but the marriage ended in a nasty legal disaster. What makes this all relevant is an aside about one of McMahan's many ex-wives, Melinda Ewell, who herself had an ugly divorce from McMahan sometime before he tried to seduce her daughter: When Ewell made allegations in her divorce that McMahan had treated her cruelly, McMahan countersued and accused Ewell of engaging in affairs and "attempting to seduce mutual friends and associates," according to an appellate opinion in the case. Ewell tells New Times that one of those men was billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, \.% ho has been much in the news lately for allegedly hiring underaged women to strip topless and massage him at his Palm Beach mansion. At the time, in the earl• 1980s, McMahan and Epstein worked together at Bear Steams in New York. Epstein didn't return a request for EFTA01682222
comment. "Jeffrey Epstein worked with (McMahan]. He was, let's lust say, in the divorce proceedings," she says. "I was asked to stop by Jeffrey's apartment to pick up some papers for Bruce. It didn't feel right, so I didn't even go in. I stood outside the door. And then later, Jeff said I propositioned him. There were always allegations I was having to fight." Birds of a feather... Ron Burkle's Annus Horribilus It means "shitty year," though we're sure that modelizing supermarket billionaire/ wannabe media mogul Burkle's continuing legal troubles can't be conducive to healthy digestion and elimination. Anyway, we counted and realized that last week's latest Burkle lawsuit -- his kids' ex-nanny is suing him for accusing her of unauthorized credit card use -- is his eighth legal mishap of the year. That's a lot, even for a famously litigious fuck. Let's recap! There was that whole getting Jared Paul Stern fired fiasco in March. Then, the feds stepped in and Quizzed him about his ties to shady private dick Anthony Pellicano in April. And then, he battled his ex-wife over keeping their divorce records sealed and lost in May; his wife-ex's boyfriend sued him in June: and his daughter sued him in July. To wrap up the summer of fun, he threatened us over the comparing him to Jeffrey Epstein thing in August; and then he tried to dodge a deposition in his legal battle with ex-partner Mike Ovitz in October. Long story short? There are five suing-Ron-Burkle days left in 2006, people! Ouit sitting on your hands. EFTA01682223
Ron Burkle vs. Jeffrey Epstein: Probable Cause Considering why Ron Burkle now supposedly "detests" former dinner companion and alleged sex pery Jeffrey Epstein. the most obvious explanation was that Burkle passed judgment on Epstein's bedroom proclivities. However, the real reason for their split may go back to two particular forces responsible for so much anxiety in this town -- Bill Clinton and Radar magazine. In hindsight. it was all too obvious, really. First. it appears that Epstein might have been horning in on Burkle's most precious personnel acquisition, that perpetual charm machine known as William Jefferson Clinton. In the Burkle- fluffing Forbes article mentioned earlier, Burkle makes no secret how much he loves the access and visibility that Consultant Clinton grants his business ventures. (Clinton is said to sotto voce find this annoying, as it makes his post-Presidential lifestyle seem less about earnest causes and more about herding dollahs.) In any case. Epstein also recognized Clinton's asset value, taking the ex-prez for rides on his jet (like Burkle did and does) and organizing a dinner in Clinton's honor at Epstein's East Side townhouse. Burkle probably didn't appreciate all these overtures, even if Clinton maintained there was plenty Bill to go around. One of the other guests at that same dinner party was Radar 2.0 funder Mort Zuckerman. Back when Zuckerman and Epstein were both working that incarnation of Radar, Epstein was notoriously (and understandably, given his bedroom proclivities) secretive and hard to reach; supposedly, no one, not even Radar editor Maer Roshan, had his direct number. That didn't stop numerous public figures who received unflattering Radar coverage from calling Zuckerman and (eventually, through an assistant) Epstein, complaining to no avail. One of these complainants was Ron Burkle, and who should he have call Epstein on his behalf but none other than Bill Clinton. These frictions couldn't have endeared Epstein to Burkle, given the latter's notorious dislike of had publicity. After news of his alleged sexual misconduct broke, Epstein lost every friend he ever had, in a huffy. Rumor has it that Zuckerman might have been one of the few who had an early inkling, which may have contributed to his pulling the plug on Radar 2.0 as a way to completely disassociate himself from Epstein. For Burkle's part, whatever his feelings about Epstein then and now, he apparently doesn't feel the same about Radar -- his involvement with the 3.0 iteration is an open secret. Will Burkle protect his pals from Radar coverage? Too early to tell. We'll see if he's inclined to call off the dogs now that he's the one holding the leash. EFTA01682224

Epstein's allies countered by attacking the chief personally and professionally. s department investigated Epstein for 11 months. Police sifted repeatedly through his trash and conducted surveillance on his five-bedroom, 71/2-bath, 7,234-square-foot home on the Intracoastal Waterway. Police said Epstein paid women and girls as young as 14 to give him erotic massages at his home. Police thought there was probable cause to charge him with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation. Epstein responded by hiring a phalanx of lawyers. One of them, Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz, provided the state attorney's office with information about alcohol and marijuana use by some of the girls who said they were with Epstein. Prosecutors then referred the case to the grand jury rather than file charges directly against Epstein. Epstein's attorneys deny he had sex with underage girls. The lawyers say the girls' stories are not credible. But if the court file is any indicator, they've made no effort to depose the girls. Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys have sought to question said Dutko, her attorney. She recruited teenage girls to visit Epstein or massages and sexual activity, Palm Beach police said, and presumably would be a key witness. Epstein's attorney Jack Goldberger did not return phone messages. A source close to the case suggested it is languishing pending a decision by the FBI on whether to refer it to federal prosecutors. "We still have a pending case," FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said Monday. State Attorney Krischer did not return a call for comment. His spokesman, Mike Edmondson, declined to say whether federal investigators are delaying the Epstein case. But, he added, "if another agency is looking at something, we wouldn't want to step on their toes." http://palmbeachpost.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Delays+in+Epstein... 3/13/2007 EFTA01682227
Delays in Epstein case unusual, lawyers say Page 4 of 4 Attorneys say inertia in a criminal case often points to a pending plea deal. "It would not surprise me if something has happened that's not reflected in the court file," said Dutko, such as an agreement that will be formalized later. Defense attorney Marc Shiner said defense attorneys sometimes put off overtly conducting discovery - deposing witnesses, requesting documents and the like - because doing so creates more work for harried prosecutors who may become angry and not offer a plea deal. "Sometimes defense lawyers, knowing that, will try and do discovery without taking depositions," said Shiner, a former prosecutor for 13 years. Instead, they may conduct a below-the-radar probe such as having a private investigator check out leads, he said. Shiner and others say a plea deal for Epstein probably would result in pretrial intervention, in which a defendant may be ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation, counseling or other conditions in return for dropping the charge. Edmondson, spokesman for State Attorney Krischer, said there is no plea offer and no request for the prosecution to show its cards. "To my knowledge, it's never happened before on a filed case," he said.

s It Turns Out, Jeffrey Epstein's Case Is Unusual Remember Jeffrey Epstein? Just in case last summer's nastiness has escaped your mind here's a quick refresher. Epstein is a mysterious Palm Beach money manager. Last year he was accused of soliciting prostitution. The charges could have been much worse. His dream team of high powered lawyers hit the sunshine state and headed-off far more serious charges related to the accusations that he had paid women and girls as young as 14 to give him erotic massages at his home. (Never mind the hints of rape and sex slaves contained in the police reports.) So, yeah, we're talking about that guy. Why are we talking about him? Well, its been eight months since he was indicted, and so far nothing has happened. Nothing. Not a thing. Even less than that. The Palm Beach Post has the No Gnus Is Bad Gnus update: Nearly eight months after Palm Beach tycoon Jeffrey Epstein was charged with felony solicitation of prostitution, there has been no discernible progress in his case. No witnesses deposed. No trial date set. Nothing, save for routine court hearings reset without explanation.

Backdoor witch hunts - James Studdard Page 1 of 2 Stockbridge., liampttm, McDonough. I otos, Crow Heralde014111 ISSban SI ii ,Sknonotql),G Backdoor witch hunts - James Studdard - Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the Democrats' new wonder boy, has laid out a heavenly plan for all those left-wing zealots, who want to master Republican bashing. Here's how the Super Duper (Dupe for the Democrats) Prosecutor does it. First, he finds some fishy (not necessarily illegal) goings on in, or about, the Bush White House. The fishiest piece of political shenanigans extant is the outing of Valerie Name as a covert agent for the C.I.A. Super boy calls a hasty meeting of his staff, and as quickly as you can say, "indictment," Lewis "Scooter" Libby is charged. It matters not that any couch potato, who, even with inadvertent channel surfing, would have bumped into Hannity, O'Reilly or Greta and known that it was Richard Armitage and not Libby who outed Plame. All right, having established the way the hunt began, we now have to understand the underlying motive for the hunt. Joe Wilson, Plame's husband, was undermining the president by discrediting the White House's claim that Saddam Hussein was purchasing weapons-grade material from Niger. So naturally, when Plame was outed, a hue and cry went up from the usual Democrats that Libby was a Bush agent seeking revenge for Wilson's criticism of the president. They claimed Libby had compromised national security and almost got Wilson's wife bumped off. "It's outrageous", they bawled. "Why, it's treasonous," they yelped. "I'll drink to that," mumbled Teddy Kennedy. Libby was subsequently found guilty of obstruction of justice, and perjury. Now this story begs the question, "Why wasn't Richard Armitage indicted?" The answer, of course, is that an Armitage indictment would have been antithetical to ginning up political hay for the Dems. Understand this: There was no crime committed. Valerie Plame was not a covert agent. But did that deter Fitzgerald? N0000000! His plan was to subpoena as many high-level Bush operatives as he could; bring them before a grand jury; shine the big interrogation light on them; question them ad nauseum and hope for a slip of the lip. Such was the case with Libby. He was indicted for simply having a bad memory. My heroine, Ann Coulter, reminded me that the Democrats enjoy relatively safe haven from this sort of prosecution. Remember that infamous nocturnal swim of Ted Kennedy's that left a young woman about eight liquid feet below the Chappaquiddick bridge. The explanation given by the eldest, living son of Massachusetts' First Family of Bootlegging, was that some dastardly Republican switched the road signs at Martha's Vineyard. Case closed. No prosecution. Then, a nephew of the Massachusetts dream family, Patrick Kennedy, got all liquored and pilled up, hit a few cars and ran up a telephone pole. Young Pat, (after crashing into things in a drug-induced stupor) was given no sobriety test (though he was staggering) and, in fact, was escorted home. Yep, Pat summed it all up when he stopped at the door of the Hawk and Dove watering hole, and slurred, "By God, it's great to be a Kennedy!" Entered rehab. No prosecution. Jeffrey Epstein, fat cat, and frequent visitor to the Clinton soirees, got all caught up in a Palm Beach sting targeting Johns, who hired underage school girls for sex. The prosecutor in this Clintonesque sex scandal, Barry E. Krischer, obtained as many as five video-taped interviews with young girls and dozens of signed affidavits, which named Epstein as the procurer. Epstein got a lecture on morals and a few hours in play-like jail. The same prosecutor, Barry E. Krishcher, dogged Rush Limbaugh for three years for allegedly abusing prescription medication for back pain. Finally, out of frustration and fatigue, Limbaugh entered a no- contest plea (no conviction.) http://www.henryherald.com/columns/local_story_073231004.html/resources_printstory 3/15/2007 EFTA01682235
Backdoor witch hunts - James Studdard Page 2 of 2 Democrats' peccadilloes range from lying under oath, DUI, obstruction, perjury, tax evasion and sex with underage girls. Bubba Clinton's rap sheet of sexual indiscretions would wall-paper a fairly good sized bathroom. And don't forget former security advisor Sandy Berger's attempt to steal classified security documents by stuffing them down his pants. He was sentenced to a little community service work. And, hey, here is the topper: Nancy Pelosi, the second smartest woman in the world, has just recently given a seat on the Homeland Security Committee to none other than that keeper of cold cash, Rep. William Jefferson. Jefferson, you will recall, was subjected to a nasty FBI investigation, wherein one of the agents stumbled upon $90,000 cash in Jefferson's refrigerator. Jefferson claimed the whole thing was just a bunch of (pardon the pun) bologna, that is, until two people pleaded guilty to bribing Jefferson.

Jeffrey Epstein's Pimp Assistant Re-Emerges Hello I, is been a while since we last heard from you but according to the website for Patrick McMullen . Company-and more specifically, caption writer Anita Sarko—you made an ppearance at a party for luxury brand Allegra Hicks thrown at the home of Ghislaine Z6. Maxwell on Tuesday, March 13, 2007. Wno are these people? Of course you remember Jeffrey Epstein, the mysterious money manager who was indicted for sOicibrig prostitution after a police investigation allegedly uncovered nim employing local high school girls for naked rub-down sessions. (Epstein, of course, defends hirnW by saying he's just "very passionate" about massages.) Ghislaine Maxwell is Robert Maxwell's daughter. She had a long-running relationship with Epstein that no-one has quite figured out. And She was—or perhaps is—Jeffrey Epstein's assistant. In the pollee documents released at the time of Ed. ctment, she was accused of helping Epstein acquire his underage lady-friends. This is the first time been spotted in what they used to call "New York society" since the allegations against her and Epstein made headines. could not be reached for comment, of course. EFTA01682237

Prince Andrew's billionaire friend is accused of preying on girl of 14 I the Daily Mail Page 6 of 13 Police in Florida are so concerned by claims that the bachelor financier had sexual encounters with under-age girls at his exclusive Palm Beach villa that they have passed the case files to the FBI. Epstein, 54, leads a hedonistic lifestyle that has troubled Royal courtiers ever since he was introduced to the Prince by their friend Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell. During his Thai holiday with Epstein, Andrew was photographed surrounded by topless women on a yacht. And Epstein was a guest at the Queen's birthday party in 2000 at Windsor and has attended a weekend house party at Sandringham. According to official documents seen by this newspaper, Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter has asked the FBI to determine whether Epstein broke laws designed to protect children from prostitution and pornography. Some such offences carry minimum sentences of ten to 15 years. The documents reveal that Epstein was the subject of an 11-month undercover investigation by police after a complaint in 2005 from the stepmother of a 14-year-old girl, who claimed she was paid £150 to give him an erotic massage at his flamingo-pink villa. The girl is said to have been taken there by , who claims in a sworn statement that she was recruited at the age o to provide t e bt ionaire with a £100 nude massage. She told police he grabbed her after she began to rub him with oil. i `After the massage,' according to a police department affidavit, `Epstein stated that he understood she was not comfortable, but he would pay her if she brought over some girls. He told her the younger the better.' The student claims she found at least six girls aged 14 to 16. `Every girl knew what to expect,' the affidavit continues. `They were told they would provide a massage, possibly naked, and allow some touching.' One of the girls `cried hysterically', according to a police report, as she recalled how she was recruited to provide services for Epstein when she was 16. She claims in a sworn statement that he introduced her to a woman whom he said he had brought from Yugoslavia `to be his sex slave'. The girl claims that Epstein persuaded her to have sex with the woman. He allegedly also `forcibly' held the girl's head as he tried to have sex with her, but stopped after she `screamed no'. `Epstein apologised for his actions and paid her £500 for that visit,' the records claim. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_idr-451372&in_... 4/30/2007 EFTA01682245

The allegations came to light after Epstein was accused of soliciting a prostitute. He is due to stand trial next month. Palm Beach police believe that the relatively light charge, which makes no mention of sex with minors, was the result of intimidation by private inves-tigators and high-powered lawyers representing Epstein. Police claim that local prosecutors were deterred from aggressively pursuing the case. One of his legal team, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, told The Mail on Sunday that Epstein had passed a lie detector test showing he was innocent of all allegations. The financier had paid for massages, but had not engaged in sex or erotic massages with any minors, the lawyer insisted. He said that the girl who accused Epstein of forcible sex 'had a long record of lying, theft and blaming others for her crimes'. The hidden cameras, he said, had been installed at the behest of Palm Beach police following a theft from the villa.

House of Windsor: Hemophilia? No Bigeie. Sexually-Charged Massages with Minors? Get out of town -A new layer from the Onion o' Epstein was peeled this weekend and. unsurprisingly, it connects The Man with Strong Proclivities for Both Fourteen Year Old Girls and Spa Treatments with the British Royal family. Turns out that Jeffrey Espstein. the guy whose police report necessitated smoking at least one cigarette after reading. is best buds with Prince Andrew—and the Brits are shocked and appalled (that they didn't get some PR flak to bury the story sooner.) The bosom buddies were reportedly introduced by mutual friend Ghislaine Maxwell (who probably has her own cornucopia of what narrow-minded individuals might call "issues"). Andrew has shacked un at Epstein's New York pleasure palace "at least twice": Epstein has reportedly stayed at one of the Prince's family's jiomes—Sandrineham—and "holidayed" with him in Thailand. The Royals are apparently -troubled" by Epstein's lifestyle, and especially by the photographs that were taken of Andrew surrounded by topless ladies on a yacht while he was on vacation with The Ep. They will likely schedule a sit-down between the Oueen and her Second Greatest Pisappointment (no one bounces back from marrying Camilla Parker Bowles. ever). to cut the grown man off at the knees (though they'll pronounce it -shedj-yool,' just to be contrary).

Surprise party cost no mere truffle - Business - Business - smh.com.au Page 1 of 3 I3usiness Day • MARKET DATA • MONEY • PORTFOLIOS 13t WATCHLISTS • QUOTES • BUSINESS _NETW_QRK Sur cost no mere truffle Invitation only ... Conrad Black threw a surprise birthday party for his wife and then sent a $U542,869.57 bill to his company. Photo: Reuters Andrew Clark in Chicago May 12, 2007 EVEN by the exacting social standards of Conrad Black, it was a gathering of quite staggering opulence. There were six billionaires in the room - plus a Rockefeller, a Rothschild, a selection of America's top broadcasters and a comedian famed for dressing in drag as an ageing Australian dowager. Court documents in America have shed new light on a surprise 60th birthday party thrown by Lord Black for his wife, Barbara Amiel, in December 2000 at a cost of $U562,869.57 ($76,600). To the ire of shareholders and prosecutors alike, Lord Black only tossed $US20,000 into the pot and billed $U542,869.57 to his company, Hollinger International, as a "business expense". For many of the 94 people present, paying the bill would barely have warranted a footnote in a monthly bank statement. The richest man in the room was Michael Bloomberg, the financial information wizard turned mayor of New York, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes magazine at $US5.5 billion ($6.6 billion). hup://ww‘A.smh.com.au/noAs/business/surprise-parly-cost-no-mere-truftle/2007/05/11/117... 5/14/2007 EFTA01682253
u e f son6ymeteria-usix - Justness - Justness - smh.com.au Page 2 of 3 He broke bread at the same table as the private equity magnate Henry Kravis, who is worth $US2.6 billion - although both of them, apparently, only turned up for dessert. Elsewhere in the room was the flamboyant property developer Donald Trump ($US2.9 billion) and Donald Lauder ($US3 billion), the philanthropist son of the late cosmetics tycoon Estee Lauder. Completing the billionaires club were the New York Daily News publisher Mort Zuckerman, who has $US2.8 billion to his name, and A. Alfred Taubman - the then Sotheby's chairman worth $US2 billion who was sent to jail in 2002 for price fixing. The restaurant, La Grenouille, was recently described by the New York Times as "one of the last bastions of haute cuisine" in the Big Apple. It pulled out all the stops for the Blacks' soiree. To tickle guests' appetites, there were amuse bouches of Beluga caviar, lobster and cucumber salad, beef carpaccio and cheese puffs washed down with $US320-a-bottle 1993 Dom Perignon champagne. The well-heeled revellers tucked into lobster ravioli or veal with herbes and gnocchi, followed by a chocolate "coppelia" and truffles. In total, the party got through $US13,000 of wine including 26 bottles of 1998 Chassagne Montrachet Prosper Maufoux (a snip at $US130 each) and 23 bottles of Clos Vougeot Prosper Maufoux, priced at $US205 each. The seating plan gives clues on just how everybody fitted into the social ranking. Lord Black, who claims he was striking business deals at the event, was surrounded by the Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the Dame Edna Everage impersonator Barry Humphries and a clutch of celebrity wives - including Sir Evelyn de Rothschild's spouse, Lynn, and Henry Ford II's widow, Kate. Birthday girl Barbara Amiel chose slightly more heavyweight companions. Her table included the legendary statesman Henry Kissinger, who was a Hollinger director and is now listed as a possible prosecution witness in her husband's trial. They exchanged pleasantries with Donald Trump, the news anchor Peter Jennings who subsequently died in 2005, the former New Yorker editor Tina Brown and Bill Clinton's one-time close adviser Vernon Jordan. Just how much business took place during the evening is a moot point. Prosecutors say the party was little more than a lavish social event at Hollinger shareholders' expense. But Lord Black's lawyer, Ed Genson, has pointed out that many of those present were "media people" and thus, he maintains, there was legitimate networking to be done by the then Daily Telegraph owner. With the possible exception of Lord Black's nephew, Matthew Doull, and a couple of senior Hollinger executives, barely anybody at the event could be described as a "civilian" member of the public. On one table, television presenter Barbara Walter ate with Drue Heinz, widow of the ketchup boss HJ Heinz II, and the then president of New York's Federal Reserve, William McDonough. Others in the room included the New York Review of Books' founder Robert Silvers and Midge Decter - an ultra-conservative writer known recently for writing a book in defence of Donald Rumsfeld in which she argued passionately for the former defence secretary's "manliness". http://www.smh.com.au/news/business/surprise-party-cost-no-mere-truffieJ2007/05/11/117... 5/14/2007 EFTA01682254
Surprise party cost no mere truffle - Business - Business - nfli.co a , age 3 of 3 The publisher Lord Weldenfeld was there - as was Henry Grunwald, the late editor of Time magazine, and Elaine Wolfensohn, wife of the then World Bank boss, James Wolfensohn. Like Lord Black, some guests have since suffered a taste of scandal - Jeffrey Epstein, a mobile phones millionaire on table three, was charged last year with soliciting prostitutes for sex in Florida and, according to lurid newspaper reports from police investigation documents, has highly unusual tastes in massage. For light relief, Lord Black invited his Spectator columnist Taki Theodoracopulos - who has since written that before the event, he spoilt the surprise by drunkenly blurting out warning of the party to Ms Amiel. In his Spectator column, Taki recently made it clear that he was unimpressed by the evening: "The party, as far as I was concerned, was a flop. No loose women around. It was full of businessmen, people Conrad did business with, like Leonard Lauder, who was a big advertiser in the Black papers, Donald Trump, the ghastly Richard Perle and others prominent in Wall Street and D.C. If that party wasn't a legitimate business expense, I am Monica Lewinsky." Guardian News & Media When news haeoens: send photos, videos & tip-offs to 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764) or end us.

the Mail online Page 1 of 5 Click here to print Battu 'Rail - 24 HOURS A DAY - 18/05/07 - Femail section Ghislaine Maxwell is 'just like her Daddy' By WENDY LEIGH On the wealthy Upper East Side of Manhattan, 80 well-connected guests gathered in a grand £6 million town house to celebrate the opening of a new shop belonging to designer Allegra Hicks, granddaughter-in-law of Earl Mountbatten. The night before the party, the hostess had been Inundated with calls from disgruntled socialites, irked that they hadn?t received an invitation. The hostess greeted their objections with her customary charm, but remained unmoved. As always, her list had been carefully edited, and she intended it to stay that way. Among the select few were Hollywood star Matthew Modine, Kennedy family member Mrs Anthony Radziwill, Peggy Siegel, PR consultant to the stars, and Julie Janklow, heir to a literary dynasty. There was a Rockefeller on the list, as well as the inevitable countesses, billionaires and New York luminaries. The guests spent the evening sipping vintage Dom Perignon champagne from cut crystal glasses before toasting their hostess ? the woman whose immaculate society credentials had drawn them all together. As the glasses of such an elite set were being raised in her honour, she must surely have felt as if she had finally made it in New York. After the toast, she took the guests into the townhouse?s imposing library. There, they were confronted with yet more evidence of how seriously their hostess took the social pecking order. She had stuck fake spines on the books, with titles referring to her best friends. According to an eyewitness, this led to something of a scramble among the guests as they struggled to see if they had made it as'one of her book titles: "There was ferocious competition between guests as they compared how far up the friendship pecking order they were." So just who is this superstar society hostess who has New York?s rich and talented clamouring for admission to her inner circle? Scroll down for more None other than Ghislaine Maxwell, the youngest daughter of the late newspaper tycoon and fraudster, Robert Maxwell. It was in 1991 that Maxwell plunged from the deck of his £15million luxury yacht ? a 180ft vessel http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/text/printhtml?in_articlejd=455902&in_page_id=1879 5/21/2007 EFTA01682263
the Mail online Page 2 of 5 named Lady Ghislaine after his daughter ? and soon afterwards it was discovered he had stolen £440 million from the Mirror Group pension fund. Ghislaine?s reputation, like that of the rest of her family, was in tatters. As it became clear that Maxwell?s employees had lost their pensions because he had raided them, any member of the Maxwell family seen living the high life provoked contempt and fury. Ghislaine soon caused outrage by being photographed boarding Concorde while at the same time publicly speaking of her financial struggle ? her father, she lamented, had left her only an annual £80,000 trust fund to live off. She compounded the error when she maintained she could not understand why people felt anger towards her. Increasingly, she was seen to be resolutely unsympathetic to Maxwell?s victims and, astonishingly, sought to defend her father?s behaviour even after it became clear he had defrauded so many of his employees. Before long, there was the inevitable speculation that she was living off stolen money and Ghislaine was said to have taken to wearing a disguise in Britain to avoid recognition. But it was a different story in America, where Ghislaine found she could do as she pleased ? and over the years she has taken full advantage of this attitude. As her party for Allegra Hicks shows, Ghislaine has now managed to manoeuvre herself into the very heart of New York?s business and Hollywood elite. But given the straitened circumstances she complained of, the crucial question is: How has she done it? The answer almost certainly comes in the shape of a once glamorous American billionaire financier named Jeffrey Epstein ? a man now waiting to stand trial in Florida after being accused of paying underage girls for tawdry sexual encounters. Epstein, it seems, took Ghislaine under his wing when she arrived in New York a broken and lonely woman and helped her not only back on to her feet but also to become one of the most sought- after members of the city?s social elite. I Ghislaine, 46, first met Epstein, 54, in New York in 1991, the year of her father?s death and a time when she was said to be desperately lonely. She was instantly attracted to him ? a man as flamboyant, dominant and rich as the father she had just lost. In no time, she was appearing at Epstein?s side as the "celebrity" guest at the opening of a glamorous Manhattan restaurant. She was also a regular guest at his Upper East Side apartment. Very soon, a friend reported that "her dependence [on Epstein] is pretty total". At one time, there were even rumours they would marry. Epstein provided for Ghislaine a life of glamorous parties, exotic vacations and well-connected •friends. http://www.dailymail.co.uldpages/text/Print.html?in_artiele_id=455902&in_page_id=1879 5/21/2007 EFTA01682264
the Mail online Page 3 of 5 He showered her with gifts: £300 bottles of champagne, grand holidays and offered her the use of his mansions and seven cars. Together, they lived life to excess. But most important, Epstein helped Ghislaine forget her past. Through him, she began to build a respectability in New York that would have been impossible in London, where Maxwell?s crimes were less easily forgotten. Epstein was not, however, altogether straightforward. He may have been a firm fixture on the social scene but he had, to say the least, an opaque professional history ? a little like Robert Maxwell. He is rumoured to have worked either for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, the CIA or even both. On one occasion, he arrived in London at the home of a British arms dealer bringing a "gift" ? a New York police-issue pumpaction shotgun. "God knows how he got it into the country," said a friend. He has been described as a one-time maths teacher at a private school for girls and as a concert pianist. More recently, he has been given the vague title of "property developer". And while his assets include a £3million Palm Beach mansion, a 26,000-acre Mexico City estate and a priceless Picasso, the exact origins of his fortune are not clear ? although through his company, J. Epstein and Co, he manages the fortunes of around 15 clients with at least £500million in assets. But while he Indulged Ghislaine financially, Epstein ? like Maxwell ? could be cruel. "He is a strange man," one friend is reported to have said early on in their relationship. • "Not dislikable but difficult to understand. He can treat her very well or very badly. He can be impatient, demanding and extremely critical of her. At the same time he is kind and protective." Ghislaine was madly in love with Epstein ? and said to be desperate to marry him ? but Epstein would not commit himself and openly dated other women. Inevitably, their romance fizzled out but Ghislaine remained firmly in Epstein?s life. Ghislaine is said to have repaid him for his kindness to her when she first arrived in New York by introducing him to high society and potential business clients through contacts she made during her school days at Marlborough, and through her father?s illustrious friends. Thanks to Ghislaine, Epstein partied at Sandringham and Windsor with Prince Andrew, and attended a birthday party for the Queen. Thanks to Epstein, Ghislaine scaled the heights of New York society. It has been a very successful partnership. But he is not the sole reason for her success. Just as her father in his heyday was feted by high society and dubbed "the Bouncing Czech" because of his resilience, so she is every bit as steely. The similarities between Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine are striking. Like her father, Ghislaine has verve and energy but above all she shares his lethal brand of charm. http://wvvw.dailymail.co.uk/pages/text/print.html?in_article_id=455902&in_page_id=1879 5/21/2007 EFTA01682265
the Mail online Page 4 of 5 Even Maxwell?s enemies have been forced to concede that he had an unbridled charisma which was in part responsible for his success. "She is able to entrance anyone she chooses. She is very manipulative and winds people round her finger," a friend reveals. However; it was not until Maxwell?s death that she began to exhibit her father?s ambition. Ghislaine had always preferred socialising to working. Yet when left with virtually nothing after her father drowned, she came into her own. Boarding the yacht with her mother Elisabeth, shortly after her father?s death, Ghislaine appeared griefstricken, yet totally in control. VJearing a red tartan suit, she coolly walked into her late father?s office and ? according to journalist John Jackson who is said to have witnessed the scene ? shredded all incriminating documents on board. Ghislaine denies this ever took place, but Jackson has never retracted the claim. If true, those documents were the key to Maxwell?s financial empire and Ghislaine, astutely, was making sure they would never come back to haunt the Maxwell family. In the aftermath of his death, she was defiant in the face of the criticism and jibes levelled at her father ? such as the joke made by a Maxwell employee that, on the morning he left for the boat, he was "buoyant". Like Maxwell, who never betrayed the fact that his empire was crumbling, Ghislaine was adept at masking her emotions. But today, just as Ghislaine?s social cachet is enjoying an all-time high, her association with Epstein threatens once again to mar her reputation and even to destroy all she has achieved. Epstein is due to appear in court in November following an 11-month undercover investigation by police after the stepmother of a 14-year-old girl claimed she was paid £150 to give him an erotic massage at his flamingo-pink villa. The underage girl is said to have been taken there by an 18-year-old student, who told police she was recruited at the age of 17 to provide the billionaire with a nu e massage for a fee of £100 ? and later was asked by Epstein to provide him with a series of young girls. While Epstein has robustly denied the charges, friends have rallied around him, including Doniald Trump, who once said: "He likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Jeffrey Epstein?s life may be about to crash as resoundingly as Ghislaine?s father?s once did. If convicted, he faces a lengthy prison sentence. And while no longer romantically involved, Ghislaine and Epstein are still inextricably bound together socially and in business. So what will Ghislaine Maxwell do if she is once more faced with the man in her life losing http://www.dailymail.co.uldpages/text/print.html?in_article_id=455902&in_page_id=1879 5/21/2007 EFTA01682266
the Mail online Page 5 of 5 everything? The answer is simple. Born of a tyrannical, dishonest but charming father whom she never deserted, Ghislaine will inevitably stand by her man. No matter how reviled, or disgraced Epstein finds himself, friends of Ghislaine are in little doubt about her loyalty to him. And judging by her past form, she will survive ? even if Epstein doesn?t.

Epstein still faces a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution. He was indicted in July following an 11-month investigation by Palm Beach police. But there has been virtually no activity in the case since the indictment. The last two routine court hearings were reset. His next hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16. Police say Epstein, 54, paid underage girls for massages and sometimes sex at his El Brillo Way home. After completing the investigation, Palm Beach police turned the case over to State Attorney Barry Krischer's office with a probable cause affidavit stating that Epstein should be arrested on four counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation, all second-degree felonies. But rather than filing those charges directly, Krischer's office took the case before a grand jury, which indicted Epstein on a lesser charge of solicitation of prostitution, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was so upset with Krischer's handling of the case that he suggested in a May 1, 2006, memo that Krischer disqualify himself. Reiter said in letters to the alleged victims and their parents that justice was not served by the indictment. Reiter referred the case to the FBI to determine whether any federal laws had been violated. Epstein surrendered at the Palm Beach County Jail on July 22 and has been free on $3,000 bail.

Page 1 of 1 BLAME GAME June 21, 2007 — DID legal eagle Alan Dershowitz and alleged pervy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein use their clout to get a speech canceled at Harvard? That's the belief of Rutgers University biologist Robert Trivers, whose talk at Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) was axed after he called Dershowitz a "Nazi-like apologist" for his "rationalization of Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians." Trivers told the Harvard Crimson a PED official said he was "sworn to secrecy" about who pulled the plug. But Trivers blames Dershowitz, who sits as a faculty affiliate on PED, or Epstein, who donated $6.5 million to create PED and has retained Dershowitz as a defense lawyer against his 2006 indictment for soliciting underage prostitutes. Epstein's lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, had no comment. Dershowitz told us Trivers "has a reputation as a barroom brawler and has threatened to beat me up"- but he insisted he had nothing to do with the cancellation.

4 A8 Palm Beach Daily News, Sunday, June 24 through Wednesday, June 27, 2007 SOCIETY His foundation pays $1.7M — to him W e've heard the expression that "any publicity is good publicity," but Palm Beach winter rez Dan- id Borislow might beg to differ. The telecom billionaire and his Tenafly, N.J.-based D&K Charitable Foundation came under fire from the North Jersey Record recently, after al- legations of improperly benefiting from tax breaks, inappropriately directing money to for-profit businesses, and ex- cessively compensating two of its execu- tives — one of whom is Borislow. Borislow set up the 10-year-old foun- dation with a stock donation worth S21 million, which would yield a tax deduc- tion of $6 million to $10.5 million — and no capital gains to pay, the Record said. But nearly half of the foundation's spending over the past 10 years, it said, has gone to "pay" Borislow or George Farley, the chief financial officer — $1.7 mil- lion to Borislow and $1.2 million to Farley. Its actual charitable do- nations of $1.6 million were called "questionable" by the Record, including the at- tempted purchase of a horse farm and donations to a for- profit medical business. Borislow declined to comment for the Record ar- tide. Farley told the newspa- per the pay was appropriate, citing the time and effort spent "trying to set up a con- servation trust ... and giv- ing the development rights away so the property would be conserved for all time and the founda- tion would maintain it." The property was a horse farm in New Hope, Pa., near Borislow's then- home. But the project died and the foundation turned to health care, par- ticularly indigent medical care. Clear- water Endoscopy Center and the Center for Digestive Healthcare in Clearwater — whose sole officer is Borislow's broth- er, David — received grants.

By MICHELE DARGAN Maly News Staff IV i bcr The 124th National Horse Show will move to Jacksonville if devel- oper Mark Bellissimo fails to sign a permit required to run the show in Wellington Dec. 5 through 9, ac- cording to Gene Mische, president of the show. "We hope he will sign the special•use permit without any con• ditions attached to it and honor his lease and, through his actions, show he is really committed to Wellington as a world-class horse show destina- tion," said Mische, who is also CEO of Stadium Jumping Inc., producer of the National. But Bellissimo, who bought the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in August, called Mische's threatened move a "scare tactic." Stadium Jumping needs a special- use permit to construct tents to house the thousands of horses on the prop- erty. Bellissimo said he will sign the permit — if Mische will honor a Sept. 16 agreement Bellissimo said he and Mische reached on several issues. But Bellissimo also said Stadium Jumping can run the National --- one of the nation's most prestigious horse shows - without the permit because there is plenty of stabling available on nearby properties. Stadium Jumping would have to gain approval from the United States Equestrian Federation, the sport's governing body, before taking the National elsewhere.

Page 1 of 2 'UNHAPPY ENDING' PLEA DEAL By DAN MANGAN October 1, 2007 — Big-time Manhattan investment manager Jeffrey Epstein has agreed to plead guilty to soliciting underage prostitutes at his Florida mansion in a deal that will send him to prison for about 18 months, The Post has learned. Epstein, 54, will admit to felony charges in the next month or so in a Florida state court, sources said. The silver-haired moneyman also is expected to be ordered to serve a shorter period of house confinement in his pink Palm Beach mansion after release from prison. Sources said state prosecutors, who in 2006 charged Epstein with solicitation of prostitution, will upgrade the offense because the females were under 18, the age of consent in Florida. But Epstein, who denies knowing any of the girls were under 18, is not going to be charged with having sex with underage girls, sources said. The feds have agreed to drop their probe into possible federal criminal violations in exchange for the guilty plea to the new state charge, with the understanding that he will do prison time, sources said. A former business partner of Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman who also has socialized with former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew, Epstein owns what is reportedly the largest home in Manhattan, a 51,000- square- foot Upper East Side mansion. Epstein, a bachelor who has been romantically linked to Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late, disgraced newspaper owner Robert Maxwell, also has a New Mexico ranch and a 100-acre private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Epstein, who reportedly manages money for billionaires, keeps his client list secret and is notoriously publicity shy. But his solicitation arrest last year exposed salacious details of his private life, including an obsession with massages. The underage girls who told Florida cops they gave Epstein massages for hundreds of dollars per session at his home have said they had claimed to be 18 or older, sources said. "Recorded interviews of the girls confirmed that Epstein insisted the girls that would be referred to him be 18 or over," a source said. But one girl was described in court documents as just 14 when Epstein allegedly used a "purple vibrator' on her during a 2005 massage in which she partially stripped. A source noted that the girl's MySpace Web page indicated she was 18. Other girls were said to be 16 or 17 when they gave Epstein massages. http://www.nypost.com/php/pfriendly/print.php?url=http://www.nypost.com/seven/100120... 10/3/2007 EFTA01682273
Page 2 of 2 Some of the girls, legal documents indicate, were recruited by , now 21, who described herself as "like Heidi Fleiss," the notorious Hollywood madam. Police also alleged that Epstein's assistant, helped arrange massage sessions. Cops had wanted to charge and for their alleged roles in procuring the girls, but a grand jury did not indict them. Epstein's lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, had no comment. Epstein's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, said the money manager had no comment. "I've known him for a few years, and know that for 30 years, he's been one of the most charitable individuals I've ever met. He's given tens of millions of dollars without seeking publicity for it, and he's also known as a brilliant financial adviser,* Rubenstein said. "So this was clearly out of character for a man who's led a very decent life." Palm Beach prosecutors had no comment. datimangan@nypostcom NEW YORK POST is a registered trademark of NYP Holdings, Inc.

The charge capped an 11- month investigation by Palm Beach police that began af- ter a woman told police that her 14-year-old stepdaughter might have been molested by a man in Palm Beach. Police said Epstein paid five under- age girls for massages and sometimes sex at his El Brillo Way home.

But rather than fil- ing those charges directly, Krischer's office took the case before a grand jury.

That's too bad for him, because the Post is reporting this morning despite the best efforts of his lawyer Ken Starr, Epstein has made a deal with Florida state authorities and will soon be going to prison for up to eighteen me for soliciting underage prostitutes. This means Epstein will have to leave his massive Upper East Side mansion, his pink Palm Beach spread, his New Mexico and his too-acre private island in the U.S. Virgin islands behind for one of three places: the West County Detention Facility, a spacious spread located 45 mil of West Palm Beach in the city of Belle Glade, Florida; the Palm Beach County Stockade, a seventeen-acre compound adjacent to the South Florida Fairgroun (although, as an inmate, you can't go to the fair, the Stockade does offer Culinary Arts and Drug Education classes); or the Main Detention Center.

Oh my God, we heard that Bill Clinton came into 4 Times Square and told Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter that this expose of Epstein must not run and of course Graydon folded like a paper doll. And also we heard alleged former Epstein alleged friend Ron Burkle is Danny A's backer on every club he opens and Burkle does that to harvest pretty young things then flies them to L.A. and allegedly sells them to Epstein and alleged movie- producer Steve "Bing Laden" Bing and it is this cabal of partying hedonists that has prevented the piece from running! And also we heard that Prince Andrew (the one who divorced Fergie!) and the royal family interceded, promising to shut down Graydon Carter's restaurant The Waverly Inn if this piece runs and that is all why it has not seen the light of day yet! We've heard all this and more for a while now—and we haven't believed any of it or thought any of it was true. Sure, we wouldn't put anything past any of these tin-eared mini-masters of the universe and their surround-sound systems of yes-men publicists and self-important lawyers either, particularly the ones with a taste for the flavor of teen girl.

When Epstein went for a plea deal earlier this year and it became public in July, well, hi, it's September. It's not like Vanity Fair moves that fast.
