The Epstein Files

Island Investigation

The Epstein Files is the first AI-native documentary podcast to systematically analyze the Jeffrey Epstein case at scale. With over 3 million pages of DOJ documents, court records, flight logs, and public resources now available, traditional journalism simply cannot process this volume of information. AI can.  This series leverages artificial intelligence at every layer of production. From custom-built architecture that ingests and cross-references millions of pages of evidence, to AI-generated audio that delivers findings in a consistent, accessible format, this project represents a new model for investigative journalism. What would take a newsroom years to analyze, AI can process in days, surfacing connections, patterns, and details that would otherwise remain buried in the sheer volume of data.  Each episode draws directly from primary sources: unsealed court documents, FBI files, the black book, flight logs, victim depositions, and the DOJ's ongoing document releases. The AI architecture identifies relevant passages, cross-references names and dates across thousands of files, and synthesizes findings into episodes that make this information digestible for the public.  The series covers Epstein's mysterious rise to wealth, his network of enablers, the properties where crimes occurred, the 2008 sweetheart deal, his death in federal custody, the Maxwell trial, and the unanswered questions that remain.  This is not sensationalized content. It is documented fact, processed at scale, and presented with journalistic rigor. The goal is simple: make the public record accessible to the public.  New episodes release as additional documents become available, with AI enabling rapid analysis and production that keeps pace with ongoing revelations. Our Standards AI enables scale, but journalistic standards guide the output. Every claim is tied to specific documents. The series clearly distinguishes between proven facts and allegations. Victim testimony is handled with dignity. Names that appear in documents are not accused of wrongdoing unless documents support such claims.  This is documented fact, processed at scale, presented for the public.

    File 80 - How Mar-a-Lago and Five-Star Hotels Became Epstein's Recruiting Ground

    In 1998, Virginia Giuffre was a teenager working at Mar-a-Lago when Ghislaine Maxwell walked in and pitched paid massage work for Jeffrey Epstein. That recruitment was the front end of a repeatable system built inside elite service venues. This episode follows how luxury hotels and private clubs became recruitment infrastructure where service hierarchies and deference to wealthy clients reduced scrutiny.

    File 79 - The $18 Million Transfer That Proves Maxwell Was Not Just a Girlfriend

    Government Exhibit 505 shows an $18.3 million transfer from Epstein's Financial Trust Company to a Bear Stearns account benefitting Ghislaine Maxwell on a single day in October 1999. JP Morgan executive Patrick McHugh walked the court through this and other transactions that reveal the financial architecture of a recruitment pipeline. This episode follows how capital was converted into cash for recruiters, how victims became recruiters, and how the 2008 non-prosecution agreement shielded the entire operation for another decade.

    File 78 - FBI Found a Painting of Bill Clinton in a Blue Dress at Epstein's Mansion

    When FBI agents executed a search warrant at 9 East 71st Street in July 2019, they cataloged the contents room by room. Among the items they found: a painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels, hanging in a hallway of a $77 million townhouse. It was one piece in an art collection spread across every Epstein property - Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. This episode follows the art collection through bail hearings where prosecutors disclosed $559 million in assets including art, cash, and diamonds across multiple jurisdictions, through estate probate filings that itemized art valuations at each residence, through EFTA financial records showing large cash movements that could facilitate art purchases without standard AML reporting. Before 2020, the art market had virtually no anti-money laundering regulations - dealers were not required to file suspicious activity reports, making art one of the last unregulated financial asset classes. Freeport storage facilities allowed high-value art to be held in tax-free zones indefinitely, with ownership transferring through private sales that left no public record.

    File 77 - Southern Trust: Epstein's $233M Bank Reported $200M Revenue With No Clients

    Southern Trust Company appears in Epstein's estate inventory valued at $233.6 million. Over five years, it reported $200 million in revenue. The USVI Attorney General investigated and asked: where did the money come from? Who were the customers? The answers were never clear. This episode follows the offshore banking network around Southern Trust - from USVI tax incentive structures and Economic Development Commission approvals, to Swiss private banking relationships and cross-border wire flows, to British Virgin Islands shell companies and entity layering, to JPMorgan's 134 Epstein-linked accounts processing $1.1 billion, to compliance failures where Suspicious Activity Reports were filed but risk reviews never escalated. The documents show how jurisdiction, banking structure, and weak AML controls operated together to move money across borders while reducing transparency and accountability.

    File 76 - The Corporate Boards That Gave Him Legitimacy

    A man who falsified his resume at Bear Stearns in 1976 ended up as Chairman of Financial Trust Company, member of the Trilateral Commission and CFR, Rockefeller University board member, and Harvard Visiting Fellow. This episode traces how Epstein manufactured corporate credentials through transitive legitimacy - from resume fraud to Wexner power of attorney to purchased board seats - and how the collapse triggered CEO resignations at L Brands, Apollo, Barclays, and MIT.

    File 75 - The Charitable Foundations That Funded Him

    In 2003, Epstein pledges $30 million to Harvard. Only $6.5 million arrives - but it buys him an office on campus and 40+ visits after his conviction. This episode pulls apart three charitable foundations controlled by Epstein and his lawyers, the MIT cover-up where staff called him Voldemort, Leon Black s $158 million in payments, and the phantom philanthropy where 10 major institutions denied ever receiving his claimed donations.

    File 74 - The Insurance Mystery Nobody Can Explain

    In November 2024, JPMorgan Chase files a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court against its own insurance companies - Liberty Mutual, Chubb, Federal Insurance, Westchester Fire. The bank had already paid $290 million to settle with nearly 200 Epstein victims, and now it wants its carriers to cover the tab. The insurers said no. Their argument: you do not get to facilitate a sex trafficking operation and then file a claim. This episode follows the insurance trail - the unprecedented coverage quagmire where professional liability excludes intentional misconduct and general liability requires an accident, Deutsche Bank's $150 million fine for KYC failures, the Victims Compensation Fund that paid $121 million from the estate with zero dollars from insurers, stigma damages that wiped $26 million off Epstein's assets, and Southern Country International - the offshore bank Epstein created in the USVI that never commenced normal operations.

    File 73 - The $577M Trust Epstein Created Two Days Before He Died

    A deed gets recorded in Manhattan for 9 East 71st Street - one of the largest private homes in New York, valued at roughly $77 million. The transfer price is zero. The seller is a Virgin Islands entity tied to Les Wexner. The buyer is Maple Inc, another Virgin Islands entity controlled by Epstein - and Epstein signed both sides of the transaction. This episode maps Epstein's real estate empire - six properties across four countries, held through more than 25 shell companies and offshore trusts. A $636 million estate inventory. Southern Trust Company reporting $200 million in revenue with no explanation of who the customers were. JPMorgan processing $1.1 billion across 134 accounts. And the 1953 Trust, created two days before his death, that poured $577 million behind a legal wall.
