The Anatomy of Jeffrey Epstein's Blackmail and Influence

STEP 1: Epstein compromised his existing network and the networks of his network in order to blackmail them and others, at first by association, then leveraged that with any follow up transaction, especially hypothalamic and criminal, and then like quicksand, what seemed to billionaires like the safe shallow end, was already the deep end, with Epstein drowning them. 

STEP 2: Epstein seized control of accounts of those he could blackmail, or involved them in his trafficking financing, investments, charities, gifts, fees, and the like to be able to levy heavy fees from billionaire victims and victims who were world leaders he knew he could blackmail into increasing Epstein's power.

STEP 3: Epstein blackmailed and influenced billionaires he controlled to weaponize their technology companies against other Epstein victims, especially those threatening Jeffrey Epstein and his financing, like the Editor (Roche, Foundation Medicines, Rosneft).

PROOF 1: Ghislaine Maxwell and sister conspired by email to “move blackmail materials” for Leon Black, specifying he was a “spigot” that they expected to “dry”.

This established by email that Edge Foundation financier Leon Black was being “tapped dry” or “taken for money” or blackmailed, and beyond a reasonable doubt, by Edge Foundation's Ghislaine Maxwell and her sister and a woman named Leah.

PROOF 2: John Brockman and Epstein email regarding blackmailing Edge Foundation members (Leon Black was the 2nd largest financier of Edge Foundation after Epstein) with photos and bad press, and they make reference to Bay Area billionaires at Roche, Google, Yuri Milner, and/or others, and Brockman suggested that photos and bad press be leaked to motivate Bay Area billionaires, in what they referred to as “The Prince Andrew treatment”, one of the consequences of not yielding to Epstein's blackmail scheming fast enough in time, the other being “suicided”, another being ruined financially, socially, or totally ruined.

This established by email that other Edge Foundation members were also subject to blackmail, leaking of photos, bad press, the Prince Andrew Treatment, criminal threats, death threats, and/or ruin, not just Leon Black.

PROOF 3: Someone, presumably Wexner, pled the 5th Amendment when asked in a deposition about Edge Group [Edge Foundation], implicating himself and all others in Edge Foundation in criminal enterprise or conspiracy, and so in alignment with Epstein blackmailing, comixing funds with, investing in and/or receiving shares from those he was blackmailing.

After his 2005-2008 conviction for prostituting children, anyone associating with him would immediately be subjected to reputation ruin linked to his conduct, and where there were plenty of other money managers, wealth managers, and the like able to better manage his money for much less, with much better training, much more experience, and so anyone associating with him had to be blackmailed by him, and if not blackmailed by association, then like quick sand, the record proves Epstein was forcing those already associated and a little tainted into heavy compromise, recording the same, and owning people with blackmail materials he was developing a little more every transaction with them. Then he would force them to commit even more crimes, including stalking and retaliation and intimidation of other Epstein victims, including the Editor of Uprights News, or else, The Prince Andrew Treatment, or worse, The Brunel Treatment.

PROOF 4: Epstein took control of Edge Foundation's Leon Black's and Wexner's accounts, and levied $100M-$500M in “fees” from each. He was also allegedly Putin's wealth manager, which supports he was blackmailing Putin (who ICC accused of trafficking children from Ukraine, to Russia, where Trump Jr., Kushner, Paul Manafort, and Russia's sanctions attorney discussed trafficking children from as adoptions, June 2016 at Trump Tower. And so Epstein had a toolbox of different ways to “associate” his misconduct with others, and then like quicksand, the more he transacted with billionaires and their networks, the more he could leverage what he was engineering into blackmail, leading up to the 2016 elections, which were totally controlled by Jeffrey Epstein via at least three countries, USA, UK, and Russia, truly in a full spectrum dominance manner).

PROOF 5: USVI AG lawyers specified all JP Morgan-Epstein transactions were for sex trafficking, and they subpoenaed Google and Musk, each from Edge Foundation, to learn if Epstein referred/blackmailed them for financing finder “fees”, some as great as $15 million.

PROOF 6: Before his death, Epstein threatened Bannon, “I am a firm believer of time is up”, was a reference to the blackmail of Bannon, Trump, and/or others.

“In what can only be described as a death blow to irony, Jeffrey Epstein told Steve Bannon that he supported a charity dedicated to ending sexual harassment. The financier and convicted sex offender sat for an interview with Donald Trump’s former chief of staff in 2019 for an upcoming documentary titled The Monsters. Epstein told Bannon, “I’m a firm believer and supporter of Time’s Up.”

This was a direct blackmail threat by Epstein waged against Epstein's Bannon, Epstein's Trump, and/or others, for not meeting a blackmail or influence deadline is certain here based on usage and circumstances.

And so the anatomy of Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail and influence scheme is clear, find someone with power that can be used, and control their power, to be able to control the power of others, to keep Epstein in power over us all.

The following is the AI research into Epstein files, which led us to these recent conclusions as victims of all of these people, seeking to understand why they harmed us, only to find Epstein lurking behind every step.
