📅 11 فبراير - الولايات المتحدة | تم الحكم على منصة التبادل باكسفول هولدينغز إنك بدفع 4 ملايين دولار بعد أن خلص المدعون الفيدراليون إلى أن الشركة استفادت من إخفاقات خطيرة في ضوابطها لمكافحة غسل الأموال، مما سمح بتحريك الأموال المرتبطة بالاحتيال والدعارة وتهريب البشر.

📖وفقًا للبيان الرسمي من وزارة العدل (DOJ)، زُعم أن باكسفول قد روجت لعدم وجود ضوابط صارمة لمكافحة غسل الأموال (AML) كميزة تنافسية، مما جذب المستخدمين الذين يسعون لتحريك الأموال دون رقابة.

He was born into a middle-class family in Brooklyn and was very good at mathematics.
Because of this, he became a math teacher in the 1970s, even without a formal teaching degree.
His life changed when he met Alan Greenberg, the CEO of Bear Stearns.
Epstein joined the company in a junior role and later moved into options trading.
He appeared confident and fast in financial environments, which helped him enter wealthy and powerful circles.
Despite his quick rise, he was later fired from Bear Stearns for unclear reasons.
After leaving, Epstein started his own financial consulting business.
He claimed to manage money and recover complex assets for ultra-rich clients.
Very few people understood how his business actually worked, but his name spread by word of mouth among billionaires.
One of his early partners was Steven Hoffenberg, who was later convicted for running a massive Ponzi scheme.
Epstein worked closely with him but was never charged, which raised many questions.
Epstein’s influence grew even more after he became close to Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret.
Wexner gave Epstein power of attorney over his finances — a level of trust that is extremely rare.
Behind the scenes, serious crimes were taking place.
According to court records and victims, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a long-term sex-trafficking operation involving underage girls.
Maxwell was later convicted in federal court for her role.
Epstein was first investigated in the mid-2000s and arrested in 2005.
In 2008, he received a very controversial plea deal that allowed him to avoid federal charges.
This deal is now seen as a major failure of justice.
In 2019, new victims came forward and Epstein was arrested again on federal sex-trafficking charges.
He was denied bail and held in a New York jail, where he died on August 10, 2019.
His death was officially ruled a suicide, but many people still question it.
After his death, courts began releasing documents known as the Epstein files.
These files include testimonies and names linked to his network.
Many people were named, but few were charged, which remains a major controversy.
The Epstein case shows how power and money can weaken justice, and why transparency and accountability still matter.

The story of Jeffrey Epstein is not just a tale of individual depravity; it is a chilling case study in how extreme wealth can be weaponized to bypass the rule of law. From the classrooms of Brooklyn to the private islands of the Caribbean, Epstein’s trajectory remains one of the most controversial chapters in modern American history.
The Rise: From Math Teacher to Money Man
Epstein’s ascent was improbable. Born into a middle-class family in Brooklyn, he possessed a predatory-like intelligence for mathematics. This talent landed him a job teaching at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan, despite never earning a college degree.
His transition into finance was facilitated by a connection to Alan Greenberg, then-CEO of Bear Stearns. Epstein’s "wizardry" with numbers and unnerving confidence saw him rise quickly to the rank of limited partner. However, his tenure ended abruptly; he was reportedly forced out in 1981 following undisclosed "policy violations."
The Architect of a Shadow Empire
Epstein’s true power crystallized when he founded his own firm, J. Epstein & Co. He marketed himself as a financial phantom, claiming to only manage the assets of billionaires. His most significant patron was Les Wexner, the retail mogul behind Victoria’s Secret. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented power of attorney, providing him with the social and financial scaffolding to build a global network.
By the 1990s, Epstein was a fixture in elite circles, counting royalty, presidents, and world-renowned scientists among his acquaintances. He cultivated an image of a brilliant "intellectual philanthropist," but behind the high-society galas lay a dark reality.
The Web of Exploitation
The core of Epstein’s operation, as proven by subsequent investigations and the conviction of his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, was a sophisticated sex-trafficking ring. Maxwell acted as the "gatekeeper," allegedly recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein and his powerful associates.
What makes this case particularly haunting is the 2008 non-prosecution agreement. Despite a mountain of evidence in Florida, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to lesser state charges, serving just 13 months with "work release." This "sweetheart deal" is now viewed as a historic failure of the justice system, allowing his crimes to continue for another decade.
The Final Reckoning
The tide finally turned in 2019. Driven by the bravery of survivors and investigative journalism, federal authorities arrested Epstein on sex-trafficking charges. On August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial in a high-security New York jail, Epstein was found dead. While officially ruled a suicide, the circumstances—failing cameras and sleeping guards—have fueled endless public skepticism.
Today, the "Epstein Files"—thousands of pages of unsealed court documents—continue to drip-feed names of those who flew on his private jets or visited his islands. While many named have not been accused of crimes, the documents serve as a grim reminder: When wealth and power collide, transparency is often the first casualty.

الصحفية الاستقصائية جولي ك. براون تُعزى إليها على نطاق واسع إحياء التدقيق العام والقانوني في قضية جيفري إبستين بعد سنوات من الصمت المؤسسي.
في عام 2008، على الرغم من الأدلة التي تتضمن عدة ضحايا قاصرين، حصل إبستين على صفقة إقرار مثيرة للجدل أسفرت عن عقوبة محدودة وظروف احتجاز غير معتادة.
تم إغلاق القضية لاحقًا، مما أثار انتقادات من الخبراء القانونيين والمدافعين عن الضحايا.
بعد سنوات، بينما كانت تراجع السجلات القانونية غير المحلولة، بدأت جولي ك. براون تحقيقًا متجددًا حول كيفية التعامل مع القضية.

لقد أزعجت المناقشات الأخيرة حول ملفات إبشتاين الناس في جميع أنحاء العالم - ليس فقط بسبب الجرائم المعنية، ولكن بسبب ما تكشفه عن السلطة والصمت والانهيار الأخلاقي.
تتضمن الملفات شهادات وسجلات تصف استغلال القصر، وهو عمل مُدان عالميًا عبر الثقافات والأديان والأنظمة القانونية.
ما يُصدم العديد من المراقبين ليس فقط الإساءة نفسها، ولكن الحقيقة أنها حدثت على ما يبدو داخل دوائر النخبة حيث غالبًا ما تحمي الثروة والنفوذ والصورة العامة الأفعال الخاطئة.
