What now for Prince Andrew? Royal faces scrutiny after Maxwell's arrest

"He's inextricably linked with this story, there is no exit strategy," PR guru Mark Borkowski said.

LONDON — As the lurid headlines swirl in the wake of the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein's longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell, questions again are surging over what comes next for Britain's Prince Andrew, who is caught up in the high-profile affair...

Meanwhile, the scandal that has for years dogged Andrew, 60, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, does not appear to be going away.

"It's a bit of a nightmare at the moment," British public relations agent Mark Borkowski told NBC News. "He's inextricably linked with this story, there is no exit strategy."...
The Truth is always an exit strategy.

I think there is a Pulitzer Prize waiting for an investigative journalist who can unravel the means by which JE made his money

Whoever those journalists are, they'll need to get past all the crooked lawyers/DAs/judges and the money behind them.

"Chris Everdell was a longtime SDNY AUSA (who I happened to supervise once upon a time). He will of course do what is in the best interests of his client, but no doubt he will be talking to her about the benefits of becoming a cooperating witness.

I keep wondering if JE put on some orgy parties
and provided 'nubile' young girls as party favors
and charge exhorbitant entrance fees.
He was known to be a "fun" guy and charismatic
and everyone wanted to be in his circle. Why??
Could he have just been an overpriced pimp/procurer?

According to a Daily Mail article, JE installed a 10 person shower in one of his mansions, for orgies.

An Independent piece notes that Virginia Roberts Guiffre accused Prince Andrew of taking part in an orgy on JE's island.

He appeared to have provided an assortment of experiences with underage girls.

Ghislaine Maxwell hires lawyer who helped bring notorious gangster El Chapo to justice

Ghislaine Maxwell hires lawyer who helped bring notorious gangster El Chapo to justice

James Crump

4 hrs ago
Ghislaine Maxwell has hired the lawyer who helped prosecute “El Chapo“ to defend her against charges of child sex trafficking.
...
Recent court filings show that Maxwell, 58, has hired Christian Everdell, who is the former assistant US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY AUSA), to represent her in court, according to the New York Post.

Mr Everdell and his team were awarded the True American Hero Award for their work in investigating and subsequently prosecuting the notorious former head of the Sinola Cartel, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, in 2019.
...
Jennifer Rodgers, who is a former colleague of Mr Everdell, suggested that he will try to get Ms Maxwell to turn over high profile names to get her a lenient sentence.

“Chris Everdell was a longtime SDNY AUSA (who I happened to supervise once upon a time). He will of course do what is in the best interests of his client,” she tweeted.

“But no doubt he will be talking to her about the benefits of becoming a cooperating witness.”
...
The 58-year-old will make her first appearance in federal court on Friday, for a bail hearing in Manhattan that will determine whether she will remain in custody during the trial.

Audrey Strauss, the acting US attorney in the Southern District of New York, filed a memo last week that argued that Ms Maxwell should be detained throughout the legal proceedings.

Nearly one year after Epstein's suicide in federal custody, Barr said he remains "livid" -- and made assurances that Maxwell would not meet the same fate.

Barr said he has asked those responsible for her safety to relay, "specifically the protocols they're following, and we have a number redundancy systems to monitor the situation."

How did Jeffrey Epstein make his money?

No-one knows the actual amounts involved but these are the main sources of his wealth that most are aware of. Blackmail or other highly illegal sources will probably remain secret forever. Alternative versions are in parentheses.

In 1976 he worked at Bear Stearns under the mentorship of Ace Greenberg and then-CEO James Cayne. He rose to the rank of limited partner, one step beneath full partner. He left the company abruptly in 1981 under a cloud of controversy (for purportedly breaking some rules). (Alternatively, he was sacked after a probe by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into one of JE’s wealthy clients found that he had committed illegal securities violations).

After leaving Bear Stearns he set up his own company – a consulting firm called Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. (I’ve also read it was called J Epstein & Co.) recovering lost or stolen money for the government or for very rich people (or from fraudulent brokers and lawyers).

He insists that ever since he left Bear Stearns in 1981 he has managed money only for billionaires who depend on him for discretion. “I was the only person crazy enough, or arrogant enough, or misplaced enough, to make my limit a billion dollars or more,” he tells people freely. According to him, the flat fees he receives from his clients, combined with his skill at playing the currency markets “with very large sums of money,” have afforded him the lifestyle he enjoys today.

1986 (1987 or 1989) He met Steven Hoffenberg, the then CEO at Towers Financial Corp, and was offered a job. SH claimed he was aware that JE had cheated and stolen money on his expense account in his previous employment and that this appealed to him because his company was running a Ponzi scheme, exaggerating the company’s value using false bank statements in a bid to bring investors on board.

The illegal scheme was a huge success and SH and JE made millions from it. The rapid rise of Towers drew the attention of the SEC who investigated the company and discovered it was an illegal operation. SH was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 20 years in prison but, for reasons that remain clouded in mystery, JE was not prosecuted for his involvement in the billion dollar scheme. (One article states JE didn’t face charges as he was only a consultant. Another states that he cut a deal to cooperate with prosecutors)

I saw an interview with SH where he stated that he couldn’t understand why JE hadn’t been charged because “all the evidence was there”. He described JE as a ruthless, social-climbing psychopath with “no moral compass” who was “very manipulative, very controlling. He had no boundaries.” “He was a brilliant, seductive, criminal mastermind.” He said the scam wasn't enough for JE who also stole cash from Towers by “transferring the legal monies directly to his own account.”

In the late 1980s he had an alliance with Les Wexner, founder of L Brands which includes Victoria’s Secret. The two quickly became close friends. LW gave JE a power of attorney over his financial affairs but later accused him of misappropriating in excess of $46M of his funds. Director Lisa Bryant said, “As we learned, he stole money right out from under him – a man who is rich and powerful in his own right. But Epstein managed to steal him blind”. According to The Times, “what is clear is that during the period in which he worked closely with Mr Wexner, Mr. Epstein became extraordinarily rich.

Strangely, very, very strangely, LW reportedly never took legal action against him.

An interesting side note:
Wexner used a trust to buy the Manhattan mansion for $US13.2 million in 1989. The trust transferred ownership of the townhouse to an Epstein-owned company in 2011 for $US10 according to the deed filed with the Office of the City Register. Epstein signed the document for both sides. Prosecutors are in the process of seizing the house, which they allege is the scene of some of the crimes Epstein is accused of, according to Bloomberg.

Shouldn’t that be kept secret?

Federal prosecutors said that GM had been hiding in New England since last July, when Epstein was arrested.

She changed her phone number to one registered under 'G Max,' changed her email address, moved at least twice and when she ordered delivery packages had them delivered to a different name, which they did not specify.

In a court document arguing that she should be refused bail, prosecutors said that she had at least 15 bank accounts which she owned or was associated with in the last four years.

It said that she had declared a foreign bank account in 2019 with a balance of more than $1 million, and that she has French and British passports as well as an American one, having become a U.S. citizen in 2002.

Reddit’s former boss has been slammed for saying she “knew about” the shocking GM child abuse claims nine years ago but didn't speak up.

Ellen Pao, the ex-CEO of the social news site, revealed the Brit socialite was at a glamorous Christmas party she went to, which was hosted by the venture capitalist firm she was working for at the time.

“We knew about her supplying underage girls for sex, but I guess that was fine with the ‘cool’ people who managed the tightly controlled guest list,” she added.

“To be clear, the press had described her as supplying underage girls for sex, but she had not been charged so I guess it would be more accurate to say we ‘suspected’ v ‘knew,'” she tweeted later.

When asked if everyone at the party was okay with Maxwell being there, Pao replied those that drew up the guest list were fine with it.

Per How Ghislaine Maxwell lived a 'life of privilege' on the run

Snipped for relevance:
"....
156-acre property in Bradford, New Hampshire.

“This stunning custom-designed Timber Frame home is an amazing retreat for the nature lover who also wants total privacy,” one website said, describing it as a four-bedroom, four-bath home totaling 4,365 sq ft. Two real estate websites claim this estate sold for $1,070,750.



The purchase price for that house makes no sense to me. That's way too cheap. 165 acres plus that fancy home for just over $1M? Including a hoedown barn? Maybe it came with furnishings, too?
If she got it that cheaply, someone cut a deal for a reason. A payoff.
Guesstimate price per acre of land in NH is $5k: https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Todays_Reports/reports/land0819.pdf
And that home had spectacular views and was in the neighborhood of Sunapee, site of fancy fancy.. and easy on/easy off the interstate, not too far from Boston. 156 x $5k = $780k just for cheap land. See what I mean?
Follow the money....

Wow. A few minutes research proved you are very correct re the price.

GM got that NH property for peanuts? I completely missed this aspect of the GM/JE saga until Jax49 responded to RickshawFan! There are too many layers to this international rotting onion. I wonder if Deutsche Bank had an invisible hand in the transaction. Maybe it didn't cost GM a penny? It reminds me of the deal where Trump flipped a Florida property for an absurd markup, only, the other way around. See Miami Herald article for refresher.
