Jeffrey Epstein
In the wake of his suspicious death, the Jeffrey Epstein (T-H-L) article is getting quite a lot of edits.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
I didn't run any stats on it, but it kinda looks like Jeffrey Epstein death conspiracy theories (T-H-L) is getting a bit more action at the moment. Both articles are semi-protected, which is probably just as well...
Another good example of how Wikipedia would benefit from having a rule that would force users to wait at least a week or two before even trying to cover topics like this, not that they'd ever consider such a thing.

The best way of enforcing it would be: Can't Edit Current News Until You're Bored.
The current, what, ~2-minute attention span should deal with the problem.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Also, why post this in "Off Topic"? Are we assuming this will be the thread in which we actually discuss which Epstein-suicide conspiracy theory is the most likely one to be true?
If so, my money's on the whole thing having been engineered by CrowsNest over on WikipediaSucks.co. Nice job, man! Nobody (other than me) even suspects!

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
As good a place as any to discuss the conspiracy theories.
The shadowy powers that be had him killed for knowing too much.
Suspiciously, no protocol was followed and there's no video of what happened, and he was taken off suicide watch apparently to aid with this.
Then there are those who believe he's not actually dead and it was an elaborate scheme to aid his escape.

Raising this again, as there is another angle on this:

Some soundbites from Jimmy there.
For those in the USA who are unaware, business figures are now deserting Prince Andrew in droves following an interview where he 'tried' to draw a line under his links with Jeffrey Epstein (T-H-L):

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
I expect that a few people were supporting HRH in the hope of appearing on the honours list - not that Jimbo could possibly have had such a motive. Anyway, up to now it was probably considered good publicity, but that may no longer be true.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Was Jimbo supporting Prince Andrew before Wikipedia as porn hustler? The timelines match. I wonder if any of the Epstein women/girls ended up on Bomis servers or vice/versa? Epstein as a Bomis subscriber and therefore indirect WP funder would be a predictable twist. Finally an answer to "Why Florida?"

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Presumably Jimbo wasn't stupid enough to have underage girls on Bomis, though Epstein apparently didn't restrict himself to teenagers. Lady Victoria Hervey (T-H-L) has said that she thinks Epstein was after her in 1999, when she'd have been 22 or 23. (Funny that the articles on her and her sister Lady Isabella Hervey (T-H-L) include the word "Lady" in the title.)

Child rapist is getting subpoenaed to the USA.
What do you say now...?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-an ... itter_page
Royal briefings are making it clear the duke was fired—and the termination is permanent, as he prepares to speak to investigators about his ties to the dead American pedophile.
In the end, of course, the interview had the opposite effect, and by his haughty manner, extraordinary denials, provably false claims, unwillingness to regret his friendship with Epstein, and failure to express any sympathy for Epstein’s victims, Andrew dug his own grave.
Andrew was told he would no longer to have any frontline duties representing the family. He was told he was to stand down immediately from his 200 charitable patronages. He was told that he would immediately lose his £250,000 per annum grant.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday that Buckingham Palace is braced for U.S. authorities to issue the duke with a subpoena, requesting he gives testimony under oath about his friendship with Epstein.
Following his statement, Andrew would have little choice but to comply.
Gloria Allred, the celebrity lawyer representing some of Epstein’s alleged victims, was quick to demand Andrew voluntarily contact U.S. authorities “without conditions and without delay,” asking the question: “Is he insisting that he be served with a subpoena to testify, or is he willing to speak to law enforcement without being legally required to do so?”

He is effectively being fired from the royal family.
Say what you will about the royals, but they have a first rate intelligence service working for them.
There's simply no way this sanction gets handed down by the queen to her second born son unless there's incontrovertible guilt.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
That's nonsense. They know that Prince Andrew is a colossal embarrassment. That does not mean that they know or think that he is guilty of any offences for which he has not even been charged; his incompetent interview was ample grounds.
One of Britain's most notable politicians, Alex Salmond (T-H-L), was in court this week charged with sex offences against umpteen women. However, nobody on this site is calling him a sex offender, maybe because he is not a member of the royal family.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
The story around Randy Andy is so bad that commercial and non profit are publicly distancing themselves from him.
For example,
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-yor ... e-50565190
That almost certainly means that the evidence will shortly become public.
Otherwise, what's the point of doing this publicly?

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Vanity FairAccording to a sworn deposition by Juan Alessi, a former employee at Epstein’s Palm Beach estate, Andrew attended naked pool parties and was treated to massages by a harem of adolescent girls. At least three of the girls were questioned under oath about whether Andrew had had sexual contact with any of the masseuses. One of them, Sarah Kellen, refused to answer, citing her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Another, Adriana Ross, was asked, “Has Prince Andrew ever been involved with underage minor females to your knowledge?” She reportedly replied, “I refuse to answer.”

Clinton certainly isn’t indiscriminate about what he sticks his dick into, but I can’t believe he’d plug a girl younger than his own daughter. If someone offered me that and could guarantee with metaphysical certainty there would be even no whiff of a blowback it would still make my skin crawl.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Ex-Prince Andrew the child rapist soon won't be able to travel to the US.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50633640
He better be very careful about any overseas travel.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Virginia Giuffre came off as being rather more believable IMO than Prince Andrew in her BBC interview, and a lot more sympathetic (though it would be hard not to be, really). The least credible thing she said was probably "I just didn't expect that from royalty" — though when you think about it, it's not completely implausible, especially since she's a product of the American secondary educational system and therefore probably has a deeply-held misunderstanding (and possibly no understanding at all) of British history, especially regarding the aristocracy.
That said, unless something pops up that proves he's lying, it's still likely to boil down to a "he said she said" situation in terms of dealing with any criminal charges. So as much as many of us would love to see it, not much chance of him ever seeing the inside of a jail cell.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
This thing still has long legs.Prince Andrew’s Accuser Takes Her Case to the BBC
For the first time Virginia Roberts Giuffre told a British television audience about a trip she took to London in 2001, during which she says she was ordered to have sex with Prince Andrew.
Dec. 2, 2019
Updated 8:52 p.m. ET
LONDON — Virginia Roberts Giuffre recalled a whirlwind trip to London with her employer, the financier Jeffrey Epstein, when she was 17. It began at a townhouse where Prince Andrew was talking about his ex-wife, the Duchess of York. It moved on to a club, where she said she and the prince danced, and he sweated profusely. And it ended when, she said, she was ordered to have sex with him.
“It was disgusting,” Ms. Giuffre said in an interview broadcast Monday by the BBC. “I sat there in bed and felt horrified and ashamed.”
“I had just been abused by a member of the royal family,” she continued. “These powerful people were my chains.”
Ms. Giuffre’s account of the trip in 2001, and of two other incidents when she said she had sex with Prince Andrew at Mr. Epstein’s homes in New York and in the Caribbean, was the first time she described her story for a British audience.
It is likely to deepen the scandal surrounding the ties between Mr. Epstein, a convicted pedophile who killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in August, and Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II.
The interview did not break new ground in the allegations against Prince Andrew, which are contained in legal documents. But it put a face to the woman who has accused a member of the royal family of being involved with sexual trafficking. And it drew another flood of revulsion from the British public, many of whom posted their reactions on social media.
Prince Andrew has denied the allegations, saying in his own recent BBC interview that he had no recollection of meeting Ms. Giuffre.
“I’m calling B.S. on this,” she said. “He knows what happened. I know what happened. There’s only one of us telling the truth, and I know it’s me.”
Ms. Giuffre acknowledged that the passage of time may have fogged her memory about the dates or places of certain events. But she said she had a vivid memory of dancing with Prince Andrew. “He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life,” she said. “His sweat was like, ‘it’s raining everywhere.’”
For Prince Andrew, whose public career has already been ended by the scandal, the interview may be most significant because it underscores his potential legal exposure in the criminal cases involving Mr. Epstein.
The BBC program, Panorama, reported that David Boies, a lawyer representing five women who say they were abused by Mr. Epstein, plans to serve subpoenas to force Prince Andrew to testify as a witness in those cases.
“One of the things we have tried is to interview Prince Andrew and to try to get what his explanation is,” Mr. Boies said. “He was a frequent visitor. They ought to submit to an interview. They ought to talk about it.”
Ms. Giuffre’s interview was a bookend of sorts to an interview Prince Andrew gave last month. In denying that he had sex with her, the prince offered as an alibi that he had taken one of his daughters to a pizza restaurant in suburban London on a night in March 2001 when she says they had the encounter.
He said her memory of him sweating on a dance floor could not have been accurate because he suffered from a medical condition, dating back to his combat duty in the Falklands War, that made it impossible for him to perspire at that time.
Prince Andrew evinced little sympathy for the victims of Mr. Epstein’s predatory behavior in the interview. He said he had stayed with his friend at his Manhattan mansion, even after Mr. Epstein had served prison time for soliciting a minor for prostitution, because it was “convenient.”
The reaction to Prince Andrew’s remarks was swift and overwhelmingly negative. Several charities with which he was associated distanced themselves from him, he was urged to testify under oath to the F.B.I. and his brother, Prince Charles, urged the queen to strip him of his public duties, which she did.
For the royal family, it was the worst public relations debacle since the aftermath of the death of Princess Diana in a car crash — stirring questions about the aging queen’s control over her family and drawing calls from the British news media for Prince Charles to take a more central role at Buckingham Palace.
For Ms. Giuffre, who described a history of abuse dating back to her childhood, the alleged encounters with Prince Andrew left her, she said, even more sickened than those with Mr. Epstein, whom she described as “having a sickness that could not be cured,” or with his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is accused of procuring teenage girls for him, and who Ms. Giuffre described as vicious.
“This is not some sordid sex story; this a story of being trafficked,” she said. “This is a story of your guys’ royalty.”

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
It seems that nobody is saying that Prince Andrew himself received massages, still less that he had sex with anyone.
Ms Giuffre is reported as saying "He is the most hideous dancer I've ever seen. It was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere." I have seen film of Prince Andrew dancing, and he looked OK. Obviously, that would never have been on TV if he were a horrible dancer. And has anyone ever seen anyone sweating like that?
She also said "In the car Ghislaine tells me that I have to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey". i tis not clear that this is having sex. but even if it were, this was in London and she was 17 while the age of consent is 16. Obviously, forcing someone to have sex against their will is rape, but in this case it could not have been child rape.
I suggest that accusing a living person of a crime for which he has not been charged, much less tried, is defamatory, and anyway this thread has long ceased to be relevant to Wikipedia, so it might be better in the Off-topic forum.
People who like to accuse others of child rape seem to be oblivious of the person who is, according to Elon Musk, a "pedo guy" and child rapist. But maybe that's less fun?

Did Eppstein and Ghislaine have control of the passport of the 17-year-old?
Did they go through normal customs, or did they have a way to avoid customs?

Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Today as in the years of our forefathers, British law shall fairly judge the virtue of Prince Andrew, a man who has devoted his life to the defense of Britain and to charity for its people, and the scurrilous, defamatory, slanderous allegations by the dirty foreign tart.
Peter Cook wrote: “We have heard for example from a Mr Bex Bissell, a man who by his own admission is a liar, a humbug, a hypocrite, a vagabond, a loathsome spotted reptile, and a self-confessed chicken-strangler. You may choose if you wish to believe the transparent tissue of odious lies which streamed on and on from his disgusting, reedy, slavering lips. That is entirely a matter for you ...
We have been forced to listen to the whinings of Mr. Norman St. John Scott, a scrounger, a parasite, a pervert, a worm, a self-confessed player of the pink oboe, a man, who by his own admission, chews pillows ...
The so-called hitman, Mr. Olivia Newton John, is a piece of slimy refuse, unable to carry out the simplest murder plot ...
You are now to retire, as indeed should I, carefully to consider your verdict of Not Guilty.” Peter Cook's satiric interpretation of a judge during the Jeremy Thorpe trial (1979)
