Who Is Jennifer Turner? Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's Seven-Year Financial Alias

In late July 2010, a new name appeared on the American Express records tied to Ghislaine Maxwell's ELLMAX LLC corporate account. The name was Jennifer Turner. Over the next seven years, that name would appear on eight consecutive sub-account cards paired alongside Maxwell's own, accumulating charges for iTunes subscriptions, website hosting, and office furniture shipped to addresses matching Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan office and Maxwell's Upper East Side residence.

There is no evidence that a real person named Jennifer Turner was involved with Ghislaine Maxwell. According to a sworn FBI witness interview conducted on August 13, 2020, "Jennifer Turner" was Maxwell's "name of choice," one of several fabricated identities she used to conduct business, register domains, and move through daily life without detection. This investigation, built entirely from court-released EFTA documents and law enforcement records, traces the full arc of that alias from its first financial footprint in 2008 through its appearance in a federal subpoena issued the day of Maxwell's arrest.

The Financial Trail

The core evidence comes from three versions of the same AMEX tracking spreadsheet, filed as EFTA01654871, EFTA01654873, and EFTA00037703. These documents, produced by American Express under subpoena, track sub-account activity under Maxwell's ELLMAX LLC umbrella. They reveal a systematic pattern: every time Maxwell opened or renewed an AMEX card under her own name, a paired card was simultaneously created under "Jennifer Turner."

The pairing was consistent. In July 2010, Maxwell's card ending in 2-01009 was created alongside Turner card 2-01025. In September 2012, Maxwell card 2-02007 appeared with Turner still on 2-01025. By April 2013, Turner received a new card number, 2-02023, which remained active through May 2015. The pattern continued through November 2015, May 2016, and finally December 2017, when the eighth and final pair was created: Maxwell on card 2-08004, Turner on 2-05026.

The total span of paired accounts runs from July 2010 through at least December 2019, when the final Centurion Card statement (EFTA01654837) shows $88.80 in charges on the Turner card, including $48.81 in Apple iTunes purchases and $39.99 to a Florida-based website hosting service. Maxwell's own charges on the same statement totaled $890.06, including a $457.50 payment to a UPS Store in Boston and $15.88 to Network Solutions, a domain registration company.

The same AMEX tracking spreadsheets also reveal a previously unreported name on Maxwell's accounts: Danna Perry. A sub-account under this name appeared in April 2016. Whether this represents another alias or a real individual requires further investigation.

The FBI Witness

The most definitive evidence comes from EFTA01249968, an FBI FD-302 interview report dated August 13, 2020. The interviewee was a former Maxwell assistant who worked for her from approximately 2005 through October 2017, when Maxwell fired her. Over those twelve years, this assistant managed Maxwell's calendar, travel arrangements, interior decorating, and property repairs.

On page 12 of the interview, the witness stated: "While Maxwell was in Massachusetts, she went by a different name. 'Jennifer Turner' was Maxwell's name of choice. Sometimes Maxwell used 'G Max.' Sometimes Maxwell would go into a store and give [the witness's] name."

The witness also revealed that Maxwell committed identity theft against her own employee. Maxwell used the witness's Social Security number to add a card to her American Express account without permission. The witness discovered the fraud when she attempted to open a utility account and was questioned about an address in Massachusetts that she did not recognize. The address traced to a UPS Store in Boston, the same type of establishment that appears on Maxwell's December 2019 card statement.

When confronted, Maxwell told her assistant "there was something wrong with her credit." The witness reported the unauthorized card to American Express and told them she believed it was her boss who had opened it. The card Maxwell had opened under the witness's stolen identity bore the name "G Maxwell."

This witness also confirmed the financial relationship between Maxwell and Ted Waitt, the founder of Gateway Computers and Maxwell's boyfriend from approximately 2003 to 2010. Maxwell's salary, the witness said, was initially paid by Epstein and later transitioned to Waitt's payroll around December 2007. The witness's own compensation started at $20,000 and eventually reached $60,000 by the time of her termination.

The Domain Connection

On August 12, 2019, one day after Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a citizen named Nate Victor called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center. His tip is recorded in EFTA01249796.

Victor told the FBI he had performed reverse research on the domain ellmax.com, which had been mentioned in Epstein's black book. At the time of his search, the domain's WHOIS registration was not set to private. Three names appeared on the registration: David Lampert, Jennifer Turner, and a third name that was redacted from the released document.

Victor went further. He told the FBI he had successfully reset Epstein's Delta Airlines account using the "forgot password" feature, answering security questions with Epstein's publicly known home address and an email address listed on the ellmax.com registration associated with Turner.

The FBI formally processed this tip. On August 19, 2019, the National Threat Operations Center forwarded Victor's information to the FBI's New York Field Office, noting: "Per a review of Sentinel, this looks like it should get routed to you." The routing is documented in EFTA00174878.

David Lampert, the other named individual on the ellmax.com registration, appears elsewhere in the Epstein files as a technology contractor. EFTA00585886 documents Lampert installing an iPod docking station in Epstein's Bentley. EFTA00727077 references "Dave Lampert" in connection with IT services for Epstein's properties.

The Amazon Subpoena

On July 2, 2020, the same day federal agents arrested Ghislaine Maxwell at a secluded property in Bradford, New Hampshire, prosecutors issued Subpoena 20 Mag. 6216 to Amazon. The subpoena, documented in EFTA00152258, contained three categories of requests.

Part A sought shipping and delivery records to the Bradford, New Hampshire address where Maxwell was hiding. Part C specifically requested records for two names: Ghislaine Borgerson and Jennifer Turner.

Amazon's legal team responded that they had no responsive orders for either name during the relevant time frame but asked prosecutors to "provide any available identifying information for Ms. Turner." The request is revealing. Federal prosecutors clearly knew about the Turner alias and considered it significant enough to include in their subpoena alongside Maxwell's married name, yet even Amazon could not identify who "Jennifer Turner" was without additional biographical details. There was no Social Security number, no date of birth, no prior purchase history to match. The name, it appears, existed only on paper.

The Email to Ted Waitt

One document captures the alias in a personal context rather than a financial one. EFTA00576953 is a brief email from "Jennifer Turner" to Ted Waitt with the subject line "Boo" and a single line of text: "from your other girlfriend!"

The timestamp on the email is garbled in the EFTA metadata, but the content makes the relationship clear. Maxwell, writing under her Turner alias, playfully refers to herself as Waitt's "other girlfriend." The use of the alias in personal correspondence with someone who obviously knew Maxwell's real identity suggests the Turner name had become habitual, a default identity she slipped into naturally across both financial and personal contexts.

Furniture and Physical Addresses

EFTA02309011 documents a Topdeq office furniture order placed under "Company: Jennifer Turner." The order included a Spirit Mobile Pedestal Hanging File in chrome ($4,641), a Spirit Printer/Scanner Cart in glass and chrome ($2,046), and additional items totaling $10,561. The billing address listed ZIP code 10022, which corresponds to the 457 Madison Avenue area where Epstein maintained his office. The delivery address listed ZIP code 10065, corresponding to the East 65th Street area where Maxwell kept her residence at 116 East 65th Street.

The order was forwarded by Bella Klein, a member of Epstein's office staff, to Richard Kahn in June 2012, suggesting it was being reviewed or accounted for well after the original purchase date.

A July 2019 AMEX customer demographics pull (EFTA01326039) provides the most complete picture of the Turner identity's administrative footprint. Under the primary account of G Maxwell, with a listed address of 139A Charles Street, Apt 233, Boston, MA 02114, the supplementary cardholder Jennifer Turner appears on card ending 05026. The card's anniversary date is listed as July 2010, matching the first appearance in the sub-account tracking documents. The card was suspended on October 1, 2018, with suspension code 09. The AMEX record lists Maxwell's occupation as "socialite" and her income as $500,000 as of April 2019. Customer references on the account include Bella Klein and Eric Gany.

The Internal Panic

On January 22, 2016, AMEX's fraud detection systems flagged activity on both the Maxwell and Turner cards. The resulting email chain (EFTA02062598 and EFTA02062851) reveals how Epstein's staff managed Maxwell's finances even years after their romantic relationship had ended.

Lesley Groff, Epstein's executive assistant, wrote: "I rec'd 2 messages from Amex last night re Ghislaine's amex card and possible fraud... does she still have a card under JE account? or should I tell [name] about this?"

Bella Klein responded: "Hi Dana, Please call Amex. All GM cards on JE account should be closed as far as I know..."

A subsequent message noted: "Call Account Security re Amex ending in [redacted] for G Maxwell (also rec'd a call re a card for Jennifer Turner OR G Maxwell account ending in [redacted])."

The casual handling of the Turner name alongside Maxwell's is telling. Epstein's accounting staff treated the two identities as interchangeable. There was no confusion, no explanation needed. Everyone in the operation knew that Jennifer Turner was Ghislaine Maxwell.

A Pattern of Aliases

The Turner identity was not isolated. A law enforcement background report generated on December 5, 2019 (EFTA00038329) lists 19 known aliases for Maxwell drawn from TransUnion, Experian, Equifax, and other databases. These are largely spelling variants: Ghislaine Noelle Maxwell, Ghislainne Maxwell, Glislaine Maxwell, G Max, and Ghislaine Borgerson, her married name after a 2016 ceremony with tech CEO Scott Borgerson.

Jennifer Turner does not appear in this credit bureau compilation. The alias was compartmentalized, kept separate from Maxwell's official credit history. This is consistent with a deliberate effort to maintain a clean parallel identity rather than the sort of name variant that accumulates naturally through data entry errors.

Court records from Maxwell's arrest reveal additional aliases. She purchased the Bradford, New Hampshire property where she was ultimately captured under the names Janet Marshall and Scott Marshall, posing as a married couple. Other EFTA documents link Maxwell to the name Dana Burns, which appears on an NYC apartment registration and a JPMorgan check.

What This Means

The Jennifer Turner alias operated across at least four dimensions: financial (AMEX sub-accounts from 2010 to 2019), digital (ellmax.com domain registration), commercial (furniture orders, iTunes, website hosting), and personal (email to Ted Waitt). It was maintained for a minimum of seven years and likely closer to eleven, from the 2008 furniture order through the December 2019 card charges.

The existence of this alias matters because it demonstrates a sustained, deliberate effort by Maxwell to create and maintain a parallel financial identity during the exact period when she was, according to prosecutors, working to conceal her role in Epstein's operation. The AMEX sub-accounts were not one-time uses. They were renewed eight times. The identity was treated as routine by everyone in Epstein's inner circle, from Lesley Groff to Bella Klein to Maxwell's own personal assistant.

When the FBI finally caught up with Maxwell in July 2020, they already knew about Jennifer Turner. The name appeared in their Amazon subpoena alongside Ghislaine Borgerson. An FBI tip from a year earlier had connected the name to Maxwell's corporate domain. And a witness who had worked alongside Maxwell for twelve years confirmed it all under oath: Jennifer Turner was Maxwell's name of choice.

The question that remains is whether law enforcement has fully traced every transaction, every account, and every digital footprint associated with that name. The AMEX records released in the EFTA documents cover only the accounts that were subpoenaed. There may be bank accounts, property records, vehicle registrations, or other financial instruments that have never been examined. The Danna Perry name that appears on the same AMEX tracking spreadsheet has received no public scrutiny at all.

For seven years, Ghislaine Maxwell walked through the financial system under a name that belonged to no one. The documents are now public. The trail is there for anyone willing to follow it.
