2. Blackmail as the Network’s Core Mechanism
• Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands—the jurisdiction of this lawsuit—was reportedly a hub for trafficking and blackmail. Flight logs, unsealed documents, and victim accounts describe elites (politicians, royals, billionaires from multiple countries) visiting, where abuse was recorded for kompromat. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking minors for Epstein, was instrumental in recruiting and grooming victims. Her 2020 complaint references defending against “crimes” linked to Epstein, which federal prosecutors later detailed as a decade-long scheme abusing over 1,000 victims. Steel manning: By suing in the USVI court, Maxwell is leveraging the very location of the blackmail operations to secure funds, suggesting the network’s design included legal and financial contingencies to protect key players. This points to a global ring where blackmail ensured silence and influence, with Epstein’s estate as a “war chest” for ongoing cover-ups.
