ALBAWABA - Jeffrey Epstein's 'little black book', allegedly featuring 221 powerful personalities, will be auctioned in a private auction, attracting worldwide interest. U.S.-based 'Alexander Historical Auctions' launched the sale amid increasing interest in the scandal-ridden billionaire, who died in jail in 2019 after being accused of child sexual assault.
A Manhattan musician found the 'little black book' on a pavement in the mid-1990s. Although investigated by the FBI, its importance was not completely appreciated. Its contents, which apparently contain Epstein's allies' names, residences, and contact information, as well as unidentified high-profile persons, have generated conjecture.
The auction house guarantees buyer identification and bid secrecy. Besides well-known individuals, the book purportedly describes Epstein's 1998 acquisition of Little Saint James, a private island, and his friends, including family and secretaries.
Epstein's 'black book' complicates a complicated legal case. Following the partial revelation of case files in January, which implicated politicians, businesses, and celebrities in Epstein's alleged actions, public interest in the story increased.
The papers list former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump and Prince Andrew of the UK. Prince Andrew has strongly denied visiting Epstein's island and sexually abusing youngsters.
The case's fascination has been heightened by the 2022 death of French modeling agency owner and Epstein associate Jean Luc Brunel in his Paris jail cell. In 2020, Brunel was arrested for trafficking kids for sexual exploitation, raising doubts about Epstein's role.
In light of Virginia Giuffre's charges against Epstein and his friends, which include being forced into sexual relationships with high-profile persons, the 'black book' shockingly highlights Epstein's alleged misdeeds. Giuffre's tales of Epstein's houses' widespread monitoring and exploitation highlight the situation's seriousness, causing many to wonder how depraved Epstein's inner circle is.
