A judge in New York, named Loretta A. Preska, released more than 170 names connected to Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their Caribbean island and Long Beach homes as part of hundreds of files being declassified and released to the public.
Two of those names mentioned are Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz, but other names include Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawking, Kevin Spacey, Cate Blanchett and Bruce Willis.
Whilst being on the list isn’t a slam-dunk to say any name there was involved with, or even knew about, what was really happening behind Epstein‘s closed doors, it isn’t something that anybody wants to be associated with.
For example, some witnesses recalled that Epstein, “Would be on the phone a lot at that time,” and once said, “Oh, that was Leonardo, or that was Cate Blanchett or Bruce Willis.”
It didn’t just include lists either, the documents had eye-witness accounts of who Epstein was talking with, who was present at the island and what they reportedly said and did and to underaged girls although it had been known from as early as 2005 that Epstein was connected to sexual relations with minors.
Why are so many big names on Epstein’s list?
Whilst being on the list is far from desirable for the reputations of anyone named, although some like Prince Andrew have done enough damage on their own, it doesn’t mean they’re guilty thanks to the nature of Epstein‘s professional work.
Epstein was a billionaire who constructed his fortune by working as a financier after starting as a mathematics teacher in Manhatten before briefly working in banking in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
From there he became a prominent financial advisor, investor and debt collector, and began to move into the elites of society through his association with politicians and wealthy people, later coming to be surrounded by celebrities.
Epstein, known for his charisma and personality before the sex scandals, invited many of the guests to his islands including the names logged on flight lists and contemporary documents.
