Jeffrey Epstein was a controversial American financier.

He was convicted of sexually exploiting women and girls who were below the legal age of consent, in FLorida, in 2005.[1]

One of the controversies that Epstein's conviction and sentencing triggered, was that he was allowed a kind of day parole, right from the start, where he continued to be allowed to go to the office, or any other activity, so long as he was back in jail by a curfew hour.

Another controversial fact was that other wealthy men did not shun him, after his conviction.

Rumors continue to circulate as to the extent his wealthy friends were allowed to take advantage of his stable of vulnerable underage women and girls.

Epstein was convicted a second time, in New York. Rumors circulated that, eventually, other wealthy men, who had taken advantage of the women and girls he supplied, would also face charges. However, in spite of directions that he should be kept under special scrutiny, to make sure he did not commit suicide, he was found dead, in his cell, and his death was ruled a suicide.

Craig Unger wrote a book, in 2021, entitled "American Kompromat", about whether or not Russian intelligence agencies had acquired evidence that could have been used to blackmail or compromise President Donald Trump.[2] He asserted a renegade former Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Officer, John Mark Dougan, who sought asylum in Russia appeared to have brought with him evidence that could be used to blackmail Epstein's wealthy associates.

However, it also covered claims that Dougan had brought with him evidence that could be used to blackmail friends of Epstein in addition to Trump. The New York Post, citing The Times of London, reported that Prince Andrew is one of the individuals against whom Dougan is believed to have evidence.[1]
