Original investigations into the Epstein network. Every claim cites specific documents from our database of court filings, depositions, and government records.
A comprehensive analysis of IRS Form 990 filings from 16 Epstein-linked nonprofits reveals $557M in traced grants, $101.4M from Schwarzman to MIT, a Wexner Foundation revenue spike during the Maxwell trial year, and multiple shells that went dark around Epstein's 2019 arrest.
Barry Cohen appeared in 605 EFTA documents while simultaneously serving as Apollo executive, co-executor of Leon Black's estate, trustee of a $28M GRAT, and direct email correspondent with Epstein. One email contains a phrase that captures the entire relationship: "JEE has asked that we not do that."
Erika Kellerhals served as Epstein's USVI attorney while also becoming trustee of the Butterfly Trust, organizing the $8.175M Gratitude America shell, and introducing a sitting congresswoman to Epstein. Her sworn testimony is now prosecution evidence in USVI v. JPMorgan.
Bill Clinton sat for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee in late February 2026. Newly released records show investigators pressed him about specific photographs, flight log entries, and witness accounts that directly contradict his public claim that he knew nothing about Epstein's crimes.
The Justice Department quietly posted six documents about Donald Trump to its Epstein database during the first week of March 2026. The records include three protected-source FBI interviews with a woman who told agents Trump assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 years old. A friend reported the abuse to the FBI the day Epstein was arrested.
New Mexico's attorney general has sent investigators to Zorro Ranch, Jeffrey Epstein's 7,500-acre compound near Stanley, NM, as part of a reopened criminal investigation. FBI records describe the property in detail: a ranch manager, a ladies' residence designed by a firm that later resigned, and testimony from victims who say Epstein abused girls there on a daily basis.
Thomas Pritzker resigned from the Hyatt Hotels board in February 2026, calling his ties to Jeffrey Epstein a matter of 'terrible judgment.' But thousands of pages of recovered correspondence show Pritzker was not a casual acquaintance. He received property valuations on Epstein's island, forwarded political intelligence, and appeared on guest lists beside some of Epstein's closest financial allies.
JPMorgan filed a 29-page SAR documenting $1.08 billion in wire transfers for Jeffrey Epstein. Deutsche Bank labeled him "High Risk" and approved him anyway. BNY Mellon routed $378 million as an intermediary and has never been named in litigation. Internal compliance documents from all three banks are now public.
SEC whistleblower Christopher DiIorio filed 50 documents with federal regulators alleging that Cerberus Capital founder Stephen Feinberg operated within a financial network connecting Apollo, Epstein, and what DiIorio called "money laundering shells." Feinberg is now the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The Epstein archive contains 755 documents mentioning Cerberus.
The most expensive Suspicious Activity Report in the Epstein case flagged $1.08 billion across 4,725 wire transactions. It is the financial capstone of a multi-agency OCDETF investigation called Chain Reaction that produced sealed indictments, a 69-page target profile, and no trial.
FBI forensic records show MCC guard Tova Noel searched "latest on Epstein in jail" at 5:42 AM on August 10, 2019. Less than an hour later, Epstein was dead. Chase Bank flagged $11,880 in unexplained cash deposits to her account. The DOJ never asked her about either.
A 2017 email chain shows John Paulson personally soliciting Epstein for a $50,000 donation routed through a shell foundation. A Deutsche Bank "Top 100 Platinum" spreadsheet places Epstein's trust alongside Perelman, the Koch brothers, and Wilbur Ross. And a formal agreement reveals Mortimer Zuckerman paid Epstein's Southern Trust Company $21 million for unspecified "estate planning" services.
