Exclusive: Epstein hid secret files in storage units across US

[douglas9]

Jeffrey Epstein hid computers and photographs from United States authorities in secret storage lockers across the country, The Telegraph can reveal.

Documents uncovered by this newspaper show the paedophile paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding it.

The documents also show that he rented six storage units across the US and used them to house items from his properties, including computers from Little Saint James, his private island in the Caribbean.

He leased at least one unit from 2003, when he was part of a Florida social set that included Donald Trump. Credit card receipts obtained by The Telegraph show regular storage payments continued until 2019, the year of his death.

Search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph suggest US authorities never raided the lockers, raising the possibility that they may contain unseen evidence relating to Epstein and his associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson.

1. The rich and powerful may have thought they destroyed all the evidence?

Now we are hearing about secret files.

I hope some of the rich SOBs are a bit nervous this morning.

[LymphocyteLover]

5. Indeed. May panic abound. I just hope honest people are the ones who get to take the evidence

[Irish_Dem]

6. Billionaires are trying to figure out how to get the files as we speak?

[democrank]

2. K & R

[Simeon Salus]

3. Love to see THIS on Storage Wars!

It would be such a tragedy if this accidentally made it onto television where it can't be unseen.

[crud]

15. This was also my first thought

It would be quite an episode!

[Ms. Toad]

21. Ditto. n/t

[IronLionZion]

4. last year they kept saying there are no files

yet we keep finding out about tons of files.

They said there is no "list". Yet we have seen tons of names listed and some have faced career consequences in other countries.

The Dow is under 50,000 so we better get those files before it goes above 50,000 again.

7. I bet that was part of Ghislaine's conversation with Cankles's henchman that got her transferred to the country club

prison.

Which means, I bet Cankles is featured in them.

[Bluetus]

17. I doubt it. That kind of evidence would get her

either completely released with a fortune in hand, or killed.

I don't understand why she is still "incarcerated" if you want to call it that.

[niyad]

8. The "authorities" never raided the lockers, never looked at his ranch,

ignored his Paris place, missed the "secret" room/safe in his NY place, etc., etc., etc. One would think it was done on purpose. Either that, or we were paying some of the most incompetent people in those departments ever. No writer of fiction could have ever gotten away with such a cast of incompetent assholes. No editor would have passed it. Fiction has to at least touch plausible reality.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. All true, but I thought the FBI accessed and opened his safe in NYC? confiscating hard drives and discs?

[lastlib]

9. Well, I for one, fully expect this DOJ will pursue.....

getting search warrants for those lockers, like yesterday, right?



OTOH, EvaBlondi may want to get that evidence so she can further conceal it......

[Bluetus]

18. I wonder if the family has this stuff.

They have been very quiet.

Obviously Epstein would have given the access to SOMEBODY, as his own personal protection (which didn't really work out for him.

[orleans]

29. that bitch will eat the files if she has to just to prevent anyone from seeing them nt

[Gaugamela]

10. If payments stopped in 2019 the storage units would have been liquidated soon after.

The computers would have been wiped and any documents destroyed.

[Sanity Claws]

11. I think some of the videos would be considered porn

Depending on the person who got the videos, they might have been reported as child porn to local authorities, not that they did anything about it.

[Bluetus]

19. It seems likely that Epstein would have given instructions to somebody he trusted

Is that Maxwell? His brother? An attorney?

It seems like somebody is sitting on this.

This is a high-stakes game.

[dalton99a]

12. Kick

[thesquanderer]

14. Have they checked all the bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago? (n/t)

[usonian]

16. I think you are correct in your suspicion.

The wealthy are loss-averse.

Orange Julius has plenty to lose, as do a boatload of billionaires.

[wnylib]

27. Or Ivanna's casket?

[Sogo]

20. Whoa....

That'd make a great episode of Storage Wars!

[catrose]

22. And what happened when the payments stopped?

Did someone pick up the stuff or was it left for the storage company to deal with?

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Watch them try to find and bury (catch and kill) these storage lockers. It is a corrupt cabal after all.

[Buddyzbuddy]

25. Anybody who might have these items in their possession

might consider their life in danger or see the potential of being very rich. Neither of which are encouraging to those seeking justice.

[Ocelot II]

26. And a bathroom at Mierda-Lardo?

[wnylib]

28. Dropped off with Putin during Congress members' visit?
