From: Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 12:19 PM To: Subject: Request for Official Comment on an Investigation Hello EFTA00213890 My name is Elle Reeve and I'm a fact-checker with the news website The Daily Beast. We're running an article stating that the FBI has re-opened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, that the investigation has been widened to include Epstein's associate Jean Luc Brunel plus Brunel's modelling agency, and that investigators are looking for evidence of child trafficking. Would you be able to give us an official response to these claims? Thank you, EFTA00213891

Jeffrey Epstein communications reveal alleged police payoffs, modeling‑agency trafficking links, and possible DA leniency

Jeffrey Epstein communications reveal alleged police payoffs, modeling‑agency trafficking links, and possible DA leniency The passage compiles a range of specific allegations – cash payments to Palm Beach police, a $1 million wire to Jean‑Luc Brunel’s offshore account, recruitment of under‑age girls via the MC2 modeling agency, and claims that Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. ignored housing‑guideline rules for a Level‑3 sex offender. These details provide concrete leads (names, amounts, dates, agencies) that could be followed up with FOIA requests, financial record analysis, and interviews with law‑enforcement officials. While many claims repeat publicly known narratives, the inclusion of alleged police donations, the $100 k police equipment grant, and the DA’s alleged inaction add new investigative angles, raising moderate controversy and sensitivity. Key insights: Epstein allegedly gave $100,000 to the Palm Beach Police Department for equipment, then was asked to return it.; A $1 million wire transfer to Jean‑Luc Brunel’s offshore account in September 2004 is cited as a possible back‑door investment in the MC2 modeling agency.; Staff members were reportedly instructed to keep $2,000 cash on hand for recruiting girls and paying them for massages.

Allegations of Child Sex Trafficking Linked to Modeling Agency Founder Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein Connections

Allegations of Child Sex Trafficking Linked to Modeling Agency Founder Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein Connections The passage cites specific individuals (Jean‑Luc Brunel, Jeffrey Epstein, Eileen Ford) and a deregulated modeling agency (MC2) allegedly involved in underage sex trafficking. While it provides names and a corporate entity, it lacks concrete transaction data, dates of alleged crimes, or direct ties to high‑level government officials, limiting its immediate investigative utility but still offering a moderate lead for further probing. Key insights: Jean‑Luc Brunel, long‑time associate of Jeffrey Epstein, runs MC2 modeling agency with offices in Florida, New York, and Tel Aviv.; MC2 is described as deregulated and allegedly facilitates the recruitment of underage girls from abroad.; Media reports claim Eileen Ford stopped working with Brunel after a CBS 60 Minutes segment on a sex scandal.

Document references Epstein's alleged $1 million payment to model‑agency founder Jean‑Luc Brunel and ties to underage recruitment via MC2

Document references Epstein's alleged $1 million payment to model‑agency founder Jean‑Luc Brunel and ties to underage recruitment via MC2 The passage provides a specific financial figure ($1 M) linking Jeffrey Epstein to Jean‑Luc Brunel, who was starting the MC2 modeling agency that recruited minors for Epstein’s flights. This is a concrete lead (amount, names, agency) that could be followed up with financial records, travel logs, and agency documents. While the claim has been reported before, the explicit dollar amount and timing add actionable detail, making it a strong investigative lead but not a completely novel blockbuster. Key insights: Epstein allegedly gave $1 million to Jean‑Luc Brunel around the launch of MC2 modeling agency.; MC2 recruited underage girls from Eastern Europe and South America, some of whom flew on Epstein’s private jets.; The document includes a lawyer’s denial of any pending criminal investigation, citing a non‑prosecution agreement.
