Release the List: Exposing the Powerful Figures in Epstein's Network
Uncovering the Heinous Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and His Powerful Clients
We’ve all heard the calls for the release of the “Epstein List”. Chris's new strike, Release the List, emphatically stresses the need for its immediate publication. The list apparently includes the names of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein’s clients who took part in the orgies he arranged on his two Caribbean islands.
The smaller of Epstein’s two islands is named, ironically, Little St. James Island. He purchased this 77-acre island in 1998 for $7.95 million while Bill Clinton was President of the United States.
The larger of his two islands is called, again ironically because as there is nothing saintly about what went on there, Great St. James. This island is 165 acres in size and is located ¼ mile southeast of St. Thomas. Epstein purchased the larger one in 2016, while Barack Obama was President of the United States, for approximately $20 million.
In 2023, after his arrest and suspicious death in jail in 2019, his estate sold both islands for $60 million to Black Diamond Capitol Management billionaire Stephen Deckoff.
The two islands are both part of the U.S. Virgin Island chain which is located about 40 miles east of Puerto Rico. Combined, they comprise ⅓ of the acreage of the 843 acre Central Park in NYC. They are, by comparison, very small islands, but big enough to accommodate and “entertain” prominent pedophiles, who raped young female captives for pleasure, with impunity, isolation and secrecy.
A Web of Deceit and Influence
Does anyone really know who Jeffrey Epstein was? Does anyone really know how he became so wealthy and influential? Does anyone really know how deeply perverted he was? Does anyone really care?
2025 "Release the List" Silver Proof Coin, by Chris Duane
Well, many, many people care because his entire financial enterprise, J. Epstein & Co. and later Financial Trust Company, was used to entice weak, wealthy, prominent and powerful men to sexually abuse very young girls all over the world. He was a sex trafficker who flew hundreds of young girls around the world in his private jets for the sole purpose of providing sex to wealthy slugs. And yet, there were early warning signs that good people simply chose to ignore.
In 1976, although dismissed from his teaching position at the Dalton School in Manhattan for “poor performance”, there were many former students who recalled his unwelcome attention towards multiple teenage girls, both in the hall and in the classroom. Once fired, Epstein used his connections with a former student's parent, Alan Greenberg, who was a chairman at Bear Stearns investment bank, and was offered a job as a junior assistant. Epstein held many positions at the bank, including finally becoming a limited partner. But, he was fired in 1981 because he was found guilty of “Reg D violation”, which is a federal banking regulation that limits certain withdrawals from savings, or money market, accounts to just six per year.
That same year, Epstein then established his own company and called it, International Assets Group, Inc.. Its primary function was to pursue embezzlers, and in other cases, to represent accused embezzlers. Then, in 1987, Epstein was hired by Steve Hoffenberg as a consultant to his company, Towers Financial Corporation, which was a collection agency. When the corporation imploded in 1993, losing $450 million of its customer’s money, it was exposed as a huge ponzi scam. Although Hoffenberg claimed Epstein was very involved in the scheme, he was never charged.
Then in 1986, through Epstein’s banking connections, he met Leslie Wexner, Chairman and CEO of The Limited and Victoria's Secret and he soon after became Wexner’s consultant. Wexner proceeded to set Epstein up with offices in the Villard House in upper Manhattan. In 1991 Wexner gave him full power of attorney over his affairs. This is where, from 1999 to 2018, Epstein made $200 million in fees managing Wexner’s empire and another $170 million managing the affairs of Leon Black, who was a private equity investor, CEO and Chairman of Apollo Global Management. Also, during this time, Epstein claimed to be the global talent scout for Victoria's Secret’s models often using his influential position to coerce young women into having sex with him.
In 1996, Epstein changed the name of his company, and moved it off-shore, thus reducing his federal income tax by 90%. He set up his new company, Financial Trust Company, in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. And, shall we say, the rest is history? Well, not quite…once a scoundrel, always a scoundrel.

By 2002, he was employing 150 people in three locations, Villard House, Wexner’s headquarters in Columbus, Ohio and in St. Thomas. But, his sexual proclivities would finally catch up with him in Florida.
A History of Leniency and Abuse
In fact, Epstein was classified as a “sex offender” in 2008, when he pled guilty to, and was convicted of, transporting a minor for the purpose of prostitution. Despite this conviction, Epstein was given leniency, and also provided with immunity from federal charges. And, as expected, being the recipient of this “soft on crime” sentence did nothing to stop Epstein’s perverted predisposition to engage in, and promote, prostitution.
Soon Epstein’s repertoire expanded into sex trafficking and pedophilia, while transporting naive young girls, from all over the world, to his tiny, patrolled USVI islands, from which they could not escape. The girls were enslaved in “sexual servitude” for as long as there were influential men willing to abuse them. And, apparently, there were many.
In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was finally arrested on federal charges of sex-trafficking in both Florida and New York and supposedly committed suicide in prison soon afterwards.
The list of the “clients”, who raped and abused his cadre of young girls, are just as culpable in Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous crime as he is..
As Chris's new coin exclaims, it’s time to “Release the List”, and let the chips fall where they may. Only this action will bring true justice for the young girls whose lives were destroyed on a tropical island, not in Paradise, but in Hell.
