Can you look into Ghislaine and Roger Barnett family? He owns Shaklee and flew at least twice on Epstein’s plane. One of the times - he flew with his wife Sloan Lindemann, baby son, and nanny from Palm Springs to the Philippines, and then the pilot flew the plane back empty! That’s an extremely expensive free use of Epstein’s jet flying halfway around the world and then back to the states with just the pilot on board.
Epstein had tons of contact info for the Barnetts and Sloan’s family members in his black book.
Thank you. We have to keep talking about all things related to the Epstein/Maxwell crimes. The extent to which DJT is trying to keep us distracted is over the top!
Quite amazing the FBI we used to have, which found Ghislaine in 2020 after only seven months of searching. Excellent job, Ellie. I knew nothing about husband Scott.
Unclear: “on June 30th, 2016, she sold her Upper East Side mansion for $15 million.” Is the Epstein House of Horrors on 71st Street? Whichever property she sold, how did she acquire it?
“there appears to be no record of a marriage license anywhere.” I appreciate your mentioning this. Indeed, it seems burying a headline and should herald your work toward the top; some may not read that far.
So Maxwell had her own multimillion dollar home, that was far inferior to Epstein's mansion, which was more like $65 million. But she was just down the street. As far as the marriage license that's a big question mark. I have yet to find anything and I question if they had a legal marriage. But she did transfer her assets and is listed as his spouse in court documents
Thanks, Ellie. Judging by your posting times, no sleep for the weary. As with the TS-declared president of Venezuela. So Maxwell, too, was on 71st? Given that Bill Cosby owned a townhouse on the south side diagonally across from Epstein, Henry Clay Frick emerges as the block’s most wholesome celebrity. Is there a documented address for Maxwell? Any clue how chez Ghislaine landed in her paws?
Here’s an observation from watching your appreciated Saturday night live Q&A. I think citizen Columbos wanting to share their discoveries with you is an instinct there such be a central clearinghouse compiling and organizing what they’ve learned. Sergeant Siri, if you will. The J6 Committee seemingly knew more than DoJ. We’re all impressed that a Jersey mom of four can weave this cat’s cradle of facts, lies, and theories, answer coherently, and know what she doesn’t know.
All while stiff-arming the landlord and trying to stay in the same school district. Now that’s multi-tasking!
Your reply that Citizen Sleuths should simply slip aha! finds into Substacks sidesteps, I think, a primal sense that someone somewhere should be doing what DoJ used to do. Once upon a time.
We appreciate you and Kait adding lines to your C.V.s. But I think the feedback you addressed comes from a primal sense that an equivalent to the J6 Committee staff should be catching and sorting what stuns us when we it shows in our feeds randomly next to cat videos. If we’ve trained our algorithm right.
Again, sincere thanks for your tireless devotion and effort.
Makes me wonder about Borgeson. Was he oblivious? What did she tell him? Why would he help her hide? Very weird if you ask me. Most normal people would have been horrified to know what she was up to….
💯percent—I believe from the timeline they met before the extent of her involvement in Epstein’s child sexual predation and trafficking was widely known (ie., Julie Brown’s groundbreaking reporting came later) —but I take your point. Many unanswered questions, including whether trump’s determination to replace Berman, the US Attorney for the SDNY was because he was allowing the public corruption unit, led by Maureen Comey, to do their work.
She excelled at seducing people, of all ages and sexes, tutored by a notorious con man of a father, who plundered his employees’ pensions, and was assessed by British intelligence to be working—simultaneously—for the KGB and Israeli intelligence. I think it’s possible he believed her lies. Maybe.
Exactly. One of two people on the planet he’s never criticized. The other one indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court and gotten well over a million Russian citizens and countless Ukrainian civilians killed in a foreign land.
Great story! The July 24th visit was actually in 2025, instead of July 2024. I apologize for being picky, used to reading and noticing simple typos. ☺️
Perhaps Maxwell knew him before they supposedly met at that meeting because he was previously a client of Epstein’s. Presumably the FBI files would include some information about the couple’s finances. Her money should be available to the victims through legal action. If she was not actually married to Borgeson, he has no claim to her money, unless, of course, she actually gave it to him (and paid gift tax to the IRS). If they are estranged, perhaps (after receiving a subpoena) he might like to tell Congress what he knows about her or about Epstein’s businesses, or perhaps he might be interesting in talking to a reporter with the right incentives.
Nicely done.
What an absolutely enthralling timeline this all makes!
If it weren't about something so horrible I'd say this is the best film series ever
A great job Ellie, both in research and writing.
Thanks Donna!

Barnett is listed a TerraMar citizen.

I haven't seen him in the files thus far, but there's still a lot to read so I'll keep an eye out
Vanity Fair mentioned him as well in an article they did about the black book.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/jeffrey-epsteins-financial-black-book
He’s listed in the black book as well as the hand written flight manifests. I found all that info on the government website.

Inrellect, too.
Somebody dug deep for that dirt. A tale with many layers that will never end or go away.
I had so many notes on this case that I didn't write about because it would have been a 5000 word article. I'm guessing I will circle back...
Great writing! Wow..
Thank you Nancy

From the people I've talked to he knew everything. But his motivations are unclear.
I wonder if they "married" so by law neither could be compelled to testify against the other?
Or extortion?

Yes I agree. I’ve had such a hard time with this part of the story. How depraved is this guy?
Right! If he married her it was in the height of the lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre
She excelled at seducing people, of all ages and sexes, tutored by a notorious con man of a father, who plundered his employees’ pensions, and was assessed by British intelligence to be working—simultaneously—for the KGB and Israeli intelligence. I think it’s possible he believed her lies. Maybe.
Yes I’ve read that. It’s just amazing that she found a husband as she was hiding from prosecution for child sex crimes.
Wow. We rely on you.
More to tell soon I think ;)
"I wish her well." - DJT
Bet he does... ;P
Exactly. One of two people on the planet he’s never criticized. The other one indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court and gotten well over a million Russian citizens and countless Ukrainian civilians killed in a foreign land.
Yep, he's such a wet tongue whenever he's around that one. Gonna throw one more in there - Bibi, his mini-me.
Great story! The July 24th visit was actually in 2025, instead of July 2024. I apologize for being picky, used to reading and noticing simple typos. ☺️
Thank you, I'll go back and fix :)
This is crazy as someone who grew up in Massachusetts and now lives in NH, that these people were all around us.
Little hideaways...
Fascinating! I wondered what happened to him. Thanks Ellie!
Thank you for reading, Libby!
The CFR reference stands out in US affairs of state.
