reported that Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the

criminal case in 2008, had stated to Trump transition
interviewers, that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence'
and to 'leave it alone'", and that Epstein was "above his pay

During this period, one of Epstein's clients was the Saudi
Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the
middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran, as part of the Iran—Contra affair
in the 198os.ill' Khashoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew 1321421 In the mid-

Douglas Leese, a defense contractor, and John Mitchell, the former U.S. Attorney General.(321
Towers Financial Corporation
Steven Hoffenberg hired Epstein in 1987, as a consultant for Towers Financial Corporation
(unaffiliated with the company of the same name founded in 1998, and acquired by Old National
Bancorp in 2014),1541 a collection agency that bought debts people owed to hospitals, banks, and
phone companies.15511563 Hoffenberg set Epstein up in offices in the Willard Houses" in
Manhattan and paid him US$25,000 per month for his consulting work (equivalent to $6o,000 in
2021).[321
Hoffenberg and Epstein then refashioned themselves as corporate raiders using Towers Financial
as their raiding vessel. One of Epstein's first assignments for Hoffenberg was to implement what
tuned out to be an unsuccessful bid to take over Pan American World Airways in 1987. A similar
unsuccessful bid in 1988 was made to take over Emery Air Freight Corp. During this period,
Hoffenberg and Epstein worked closely together and traveled everywhere on Hoffenberg's private

In 1993, Towers Financial Corporation imploded when it was revealed as being one of the biggest
Ponzi schemes in American history, losing its investors over US$45o million (equivalent to
$844,126,000 in 2021) °l In court documents, Hoffenberg claimed that Epstein was intimately
involved in the scheme.(5-715?-1 Epstein left the company by 1989 and was never charged for being
involved with the massive investor fraud committed. It is unknown if Epstein acquired any stolen
funds from the Towers Ponzi scheme.LA

In 1988, while Epstein was still consultin for Hoffenberg, he founded his own financial
management firm, J. Epstein & Company. 6 The company was said by Epstein to have been
formed to manage the assets of clients with more than US$1 billion in net worth, although others
have expressed skepticism that he was restrictive of the clients that he took.L/-2-1

Jane Doe 2 against the United States for violations of the Crime Victims' is Act by the U.S.
Department of Justices Nisvith Ili and his limited 2008 state plea. There was a later

Doe 3, provided by Epstein.all The allegations against Dershowitz were stricken by the judge and
eliminated from the case because he said they were outside the intent of the suit to re-open the
plea agreement. A document filed in court alleges that Epstein ran a "sexual abuse rind',
and lent underage girls to "prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign
presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders".11361

Relationship with Jeffrey EpsteirtillexuNleu- 7 P--°" P
Accounts differ on when Maxwell first met American financier Jeffrey
Epstein. According to Epstein's former business partner, Steven
Hoffen , Robert Maxwell introduced his daughter to Epstein in the
late 198os. 491 The 1Ymes reported that Maxwell met Epstein in the
early 199Os at a New York party following "a difficult break-up with
Count Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni" (1962-2012) of the CIGA Hotels
clan. °1
Maxwell had a romantic relationship with Epstein for several years in
the early 199os and remained closely associated with hint for more
than 25 years until his death in 2019.fat4nal The nature of their
relationship remains unclear. In a 2009 deposition, several of 2006 mugshot of Epstein,
Epstein's household employees testified that Epstein referred to her as by Palm Beach County
his "main girlfriend" who also hired, fired, and supervised his staff, Sheriffs Office
starting around 1992121 She has also been referred to as the "Lady of
the House" by Epstein's staff and as his "aggressive assistantbal In a
2003 Vanity Fair profile on Epstein, author Vicky Ward said Epstein referred to Maxwell as "my
best friend".00IVard also observed that Maxwell seemed "to organize much of his life".1.141
Politico reported that Maxwell and Epstein had friendships with several prominent individuals in
elite circles of politics, academia, business and law, including former Presidents Do, d Trump
and Bill Clinton, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew, Duke of York.M
Maxwell is known for her longstanding friendship[5&] with Prince Andrew, and for having escorted
hint to a "hookers and pimps" social function in New York.1521 She introduced Epstein to Prince
Andrew, and the three often socialised togetherigl In 2000, Maxwell and Epstein attended a
party thrown by Prince Andrew at the Queen's Sandringham House estate in Norfolk England,
reportedly for Maxwell's 39th birthday.(591 In a November 2019 interview with the BBC, Prince
Andrew confirmed that Maxwell and Epstein had attended an event at his invitation, but he denied
that it was anything more than a "straightforward shooting weekend".D'PI
In 1995, Epstein renamed one of his companies the Ghislaine Corporation; based in Palm Beach,
Florida, the company was dissolved in 1998 1521 As a trained helicopter pilot, Maxwell also
transported Epstein to his private Caribbean island.(61liei
In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and sewed 13 months of an
18-month jail sentence. Following Epstein's release, although Maxwell continued to attend
prominent social functions, she and Epstein were no longer seen together publicly.191
By late:2O15, Maxwell had largely retreated from attending social functions.1O621

Dear
Thank you for your recent enquiry, and we are sony to hear how this is affecting you.
eSafety and Adult Cyber Abuse
. The 9-Safety:Commissioner's (eSafety's) primal, role in dealing with cyberbullying complaints is to assist with
the rapid removal of cyberbulingatetial targeted at Australian children, on social media services.
Please be aware that eSafety, therefore, has no legislative power to investigate adult cyber abuse
complaints, formally. However, we do work to guide people where we can and provide advice on what they can
do themselves.
In the most serious cases, we will use our existing relationships and escalation pathways with social media
services to effect take-down of harmful material that is considered to be serious cyber abuse in nature or,
where required, we will refer the matter to law enforcement.
