After another large public release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, his case has once again drawn intense public interest over alleged acts linked to the convicted sex offender as well as some of his well-known email correspondents.
New details have emerged from files related to the billionaire, who in 2019 was found dead in prison while awaiting trial in the US on further charges of running a prostitution and sex trafficking network involving underage girls.
According to the files released last Friday by the US Justice Department, an email titled Confidential: Jeffrey Epstein was sent to a person named Eddy Aragon. The email claims that two foreign women were strangled to death during sexual encounters and buried near Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, allegedly on his orders.
The email, reportedly from a former employee at the ranch, claims the women were killed by suffocation during sex and buried near the ranch at the direction of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his onetime girlfriend and convicted accomplice.
The same email also alleges the sexual abuse of minors by Epstein and a woman’s confession of a suicide attempt.
The files also include an email sent to Epstein on Aug. 14, 2010, by his former girlfriend Eva Andersson-Dubin saying: “Come visit next week. (Dubin’s daughter) Celina’s 5 friends will be coming.”
- Radio personality, bestselling author, political activist
Another set of emails shows radio personality Bryan Bishop corresponding with Epstein and seeking funding for a possible cloning project.
Bishop said a research team is working on a new embryo-editing technique that does not involve testicular stem cells and does not require injections into the biological father. He describes the method as closer to cloning.
“We’ll talk again soon," he said in the e-mail.
Epstein replied: “I don’t have a problem investing. The problem is when it looks like I’m leading it.”
Among the released files is a June 30, 2014 email sent to Epstein by an unidentified person that says: “I give you permission to kill him … He lied to both of us.”
Epstein replied: “Uh oh."
“No one lies to you and gets away with it from me. No one. ‘Wow!’ is correct," the unidentified sender responded.
On social media, some users have claimed the sender was a person named Susan Hamblin, though this has not been officially confirmed. A person of that name had previously successfully sued British tabloid The Sun over libelous claims.
More than 3 million new documents related to the Epstein investigation were released, and over 3,000 of them mention bestselling Indian-American new age author Deepak Chopra.
One email from March 8, 2017, sent by Chopra to Epstein, has drawn particular attention.
“God is a fiction. Sweet girls are real," Chopra wrote.
Chopra, who is active on social media, has not yet issued an official statement on the email.
The documents also include a June 2014 email exchange between Epstein and Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal as well as a political activist, discussing US foreign policy in the Middle East.
Epstein referred to what Thiel often called the “intentionality argument,” suggesting that instability in countries such as Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt might align with what then-US President Barack Obama wanted.
Epstein wrote that if this were true, it would mean the strategy had been “extraordinarily successful.”
In his reply, Thiel said that the “intentionality argument” essentially means the US wants to be less involved in the rest of the world.
“The more bad actors there are and the more chaos spreads, the less we have to do," he said.
