Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Madam Reportedly Attended Retreat Hosted By Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos

British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the long-time acquaintance and alleged recruiter for sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, reportedly attended a retreat hosted by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in 2018.

Following Epstein’s arrest earlier this year, Maxwell’s role in his crimes came into focus, as many victims claimed she recruited and groomed for Epstein and his many co-conspirators.

Vice broke the news Friday based on off testimony from two anonymous attendees of the same retreat. As described by the outlet, these “Campfire” retreats are hosted by Amazon and Bezos every year, allowing high-profile figures from the worlds of literature and entertainment to mingle, with the goings-on of each event being kept intensely private.

Maxwell is reported to have attended three of the retreats.

In 2011, Epstein reportedly attended another highly secretive dinner in California where Bezos and numerous other tech industry heavy-hitters, such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, were also in attendance.

There have been no comments on the story from both Amazon and Blue Space, a space travel company that Bezos also operates.

Epstein, 66, died Aug. 10 after hanging himself in his cell at a special housing unit in New York and while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. There have been reports that Maxwell is in Brazil.

Epstein and Maxwell were known to keep close contact with many high-profile figures, including politicians, celebrities, executives, and even royalty. Many of these figures have recently been accused by victims of taking part in Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls for sexual acts.

Some notable figures linked to Epstein include Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Attorney General Bill Barr, Prince Andrew, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, media mogul Mort Zuckerman, Trump campaign adviser Tom Barrack, and writer-director Woody Allen.
