The files contain devastating pleas from a woman who survived Epstein’s network and says she has spent years being gaslit, questioning her own lawyers, describing coercive settlements, deleted records, harassment, media smears, and silence.

If this is what “legal representation” looked like for Epstein network survivors, the public and survivors deserve answers.

Thread:Image 2/
The distressed communications appear to be from survivor Sarah Ransome, though her name is redacted.

She alleges she signed a settlement under duress while heavily medicated, after suicide attempts tied to trauma and legal pressure. She attaches what she says is evidence, but it’s not available to be seen in the DOJ’s release.

She also says she realized Epstein’s network had placed a “handler” in her life connected to Jes Staley’s circle at JPMorgan. She claims he posed as a romantic partner, followed her across borders, moved into her home, and worked to keep her from reporting or testifying about rape and trafficking. She said he also drove her to suicide, and she barely survived an attempt.

She alleges he used a false name, abandoned her when Epstein’s case broke and has since left JPMorgan. She asks where he is in multiple emails to attorneys.

(We found him working at a major pharmaceutical company.)

She says she wanted to go to trial, but her lawyers stopped it.

That demands scrutiny.Image

A survivor in the Epstein files is alleging something deeply disturbing: that the system designed to support the survivors was designed against them.

She says they failed her — and Virginia Giuffre, who died last year after fighting decades to expose this network.

She even details that one of the lawyers assigned to help her sodomized her.

These are allegations that demand scrutiny.

One email reads:

Friday, April 25, 2025, 8:14 PM

This email is meant to honor a true hero — a woman I would have given anything to hug, anything to have as a daughter. She inspired my art for over seven years. She was a beautiful mother and a hero to me. This is the deepest sadness my heart has ever felt.

She suffered endlessly. I hope those responsible feel profound shame.

The past few years have been a nightmare for us. Even the day after my brain radiation surgery, I received a cold call. I begged for mercy, but it felt like my pain was treated as something clever or amusing.

All of you are not worth my breath. I tried to protect my hero, and you laughed at me. Be ashamed.

Stop abusing victims. Stop spreading conspiracies about Epstein and others when you were never there. You harmed my hero — she is dead. Are you happy?

Some people used her until she was completely worn down and never told her they loved her. Instead, they continued to use her for personal gain.

My report to the FBI was erased this week, and I wonder if that was intentional. Is the goal to push people toward despair?

Those who took ownership of our suffering erased us and treated our case like a game.

What will it take for lawyers, the FBI, and media figures to behave responsibly?

I lived in constant fear that she would be harmed. Now I am demanding that everyone do right by her and honor her name.

Stop elevating journalists and conspiracy promoters who exploited our suffering.

I blame myself for answering the phone. I blame those who, in my view, contributed to her decline. None of you will be forgiven by my sister and me.

Do your jobs. Tell the world how brave this woman was.

Honor her — for the love of God — honor my hero.

Nicole Junkermann deserves far more scrutiny. The German-born investor maintained decades-long contact with Jeffrey Epstein, with emails suggesting he advised her on major life decisions. In the messages, she discusses having a child, refers to him intimately, and he directs her toward IVF. She later had a daughter in 2017. Junkermann is also connected to the tech firm Carbyne, raising additional questions that warrant careful reporting.Image Worth sharing unlimitedhangout.com/2022/05/invest…

Multiple survivors have alleged that David Copperfield used his Las Vegas performances as a setting to approach girls and young women, sometimes inviting them backstage. Some have said he remained in contact with them for years and that they traveled with him to locations they later struggled to recall.

The latest release of Epstein-related files indicates that Copperfield provided show tickets to Epstein, including for some of the girls he abused.

These allegations remain separate from any criminal finding, but the overlap raises serious questions that merit careful scrutiny and independent investigation.Image 2/

The Epstein network has been grooming and manipulating the minds of young girls and women for strategic use for decades.

Vulnerable young people were targeted, their trauma identified, then exploited as a mechanism of control. It’s a continuation of MK-Ultra research.

What the Epstein network exposes is not an anomaly. In fact, the files suggests the behavioral tactics associated with Cold War–era intelligence operations didn’t ever end.

They evolved. And in many cases, they appear to have been privatized and used for the wealthiest people in the world.

Sexual content warning in commentsImage The emails show the predatory tactics and how girls and women were treated. Vaginal “tests” and doctors scheduled for them, STD’s from exposure to these men, and complete reliance on Epstein or their handler. Image

My heart is extra heavy thinking of Virginia Giuffre today.
She tried for decades to hold this network accountable, all to reportedly die by suicide just last year.

She posted to Twitter:

“You saw me at your parties, you saw me in Epstein’s homes, you saw me on the plane, you saw me get my haircut, you saw me on the streets, you watched me be abused. You saw me!”Image Virginia tried so hard to save other girls from the same fate Image

BREAKING
Pam Bondi and the DOJ are now asking for more time to release the Epstein Files after missing the legal deadline.

The law required release 40 days ago. Image 2/
In a letter to a federal judge, the DOJ said the review isn’t finished, offered no timeline, and indicated more redactions are coming. They are effectively requesting extra time—while survivors remain in enforced limbo.

My husband was shot in the head in front of me.
This isn’t how it works. Epstein and his network were setting up psyops by staging spaces and coordinating filming for some sort of legacy project. Bannon was a part of it. They communicated about it in the Epstein files.

Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre said she was surprised to learn that Jeffrey Epstein knew the first man who trafficked her, Ron Eppinger.
I pulled Eppinger’s file….FBI informant. They always knew. Ronald Eppinger was trafficking underage girls from Eastern Europe—forcing them into lives of sexual servitude and pornography production for his company. Image

They’ve made your healthcare the worst of wealthy nations, so you can’t sustain your health.
They are planning to send your sons and grandsons to war again.
They’ve shunned scientists and silenced physicians.
They’ve bought up all major news outlets and now control what you read and hear. If you think this is about Democrats or Republicans, you’ve missed the point. And that’s exactly what they want.

It’s a pattern.
TED was just another elite brand Epstein and his network used to borrow legitimacy.
The same is true of Harvard, MIT, and dozens of other tech-elite institutions (spaces that provide them credibility, access, and cover)
This network remains deeply embedded in power today. 2/
This was one of the network’s attempts at rebranding Ghislaine.
It was a full PR effort.
She tried on a cover where she was an “ocean conservation expert” at a nonprofit she named Terra Mar (it has since shuttered) she dated tech billionaire Ted Wait during that period.
When that cover didn’t pan out,
she “married” another tech CEO and went into hiding, until her eventual arrest.

There is a 2016 email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and German MIT cognitive scientist Joscha Bache, where they calmly discuss race-based intelligence, culling “unused” humans like neurons, mass death as population control, and fascism as an efficient system of governance. Image 2/
From Epstein and Bache’s messages:
“Kill yourself if you are not being used” — this is not metaphor. It’s a worldview.

The troubled teen industry shows up as another pipeline.
Growing Together was the “youth treatment facility” in South Florida that Virginia Giuffre detailed in her first memoir. She said the facility was extremely abusive and a traumatic experience for her and other young teens ordered to undergo “treatment” by their parents.

This FBI report from 2020 is from an individual who claims they were in the Growing Together program with another survivor of Epstein’s trafficking network. She said she has emails of “other kids telling the same story” but it’s unclear whether the FBI followed up.Image
