For those who have been eagerly waiting for the release of the full list of associates of Jeffrey Epstein, get ready to be disappointed! But don’t let that stop you from being excited, because the list is still happening, even if it’s not as thrilling as some might hope.
One of the latest to chime in on the subject was Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. She seemed to think there were “a lot of nervous people over Christmas and New Years” because the full list had been ordered released shortly after Jan. 1. What Giuffre didn’t mention — possibly because she didn’t know — is that almost all of the 170 names on that list are already out in the public. Oops!

But that didn’t stop her from jumping on the transparency and accountability bandwagon, writing, “Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!” Well, okay then!
So, why all the fuss? It’s been over four years since the Epstein saga began, and about two years since his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking, but still, some court documents remain unreleased. But fear not! A new ruling from a federal judge says that at least some information that’s been sealed by the court will be released, and that includes the names of roughly 150 of Epstein’s “recruiters, associates and ‘affiliates.'”
However, according to the Miami Herald, most of those names are already publicly known. In fact, some of the individuals on the list are “classic outsiders” with no real relevance to the case, while others were misidentified or expressed concerns about their safety if their names were to come out. So, it seems like there’s not much to get worked up about after all.
But the saga continues! The Herald has been fighting hard for the release of all the names, and they’re not giving up yet. They believe that all of the court files, including those last three names, should be released. There’s even talk of a possible appeal to make it happen. The anticipation is almost too much to bear!
In the meantime, it’s been noted that 13 people “fought unsuccessfully” to keep their names from being revealed, but apparently, no one else did. This implies that most of them are already known to be associates of Epstein, Maxwell, or both. Looks like we already know more than we thought!
So, while the release of the list may not bring the bombshell revelations some were hoping for, there’s still plenty of drama and excitement to keep everyone entertained. Stay tuned for more juicy updates on this never-ending saga. And remember, transparency and accountability are the names of the game!
