Mark Epstein: The Man Who Could Inherit Jeffrey's Millions

After Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a jail cell, the public and his alleged victims have turned their focus to his co-conspirators and his younger sibling, Mark Epstein.

Mark, who is currently a real estate magnate, raised eyebrows by providing his condo in Florida as collateral for Jeffrey’s bail. He has officially denied ties to any of his brother’s businesses, even though one of his properties is a keynote in one of the sex trafficking charges.

There is also the matter of his unexplained wealth, considering he has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity and is almost retired.

The victim’s legal team said this week they would proceed with claims against the estate of the deceased millionaire and this would include any money inherited by the brother. A vague statement from New York’s Southern District where the charges were filed made the implication the prosecutors would also be pursuing known associates in the case.

Former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell is one of the people of interest in the case. The British socialist is one of four who is accused of recruiting the underage girls for sexual acts. In the past, she vehemently denied these claims and has yet to be charged. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.

When she and Jeffrey were going out though, she did manage to entangle a few higher-ups with his now tainted name. They include one Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, whom Jeffrey once lent money to clear debts. The duchess later cut ties with a statement indicating the interaction was an error in judgment on her part.

Maxwell’s home in London features a photo taken in 2001 that showed Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre, who was 17 at the time. She has since come forward claiming Epstein forced her to commit sexual acts on his private island in the Virgin Islands.

She has directly named Maxwell as the one who recruited and trained her to serve Epstein with sexual favors. Epstein in turn allegedly instructed the minor to service the prince when he visited the island and report back on the details. The allegations have received an emphatic denial from Buckingham Palace.

Epstein’s death has called into question the security measures the MCC utilizes for high-risk prisoners. Attorney General, William Barr openly criticized the detention center saying they would get to the bottom of what happened if only for the sake of accountability.
