+The journalist had confirmed that several prominent names —
+Mort Zuckerman, the famous real estate mogul and publisher;
+Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold; and Donald Trump
+among them—had dined at the residence. She'd interviewed
+several of Epstein's friends and ex-friends: Nobel Prize-winning
+scientists, financiers who worked with Epstein at Bear Stearns.
+She'd handled Steven Hoffenberg with aplomb. And, working
+with Vanity Fair's editors, she'd figured out ways to slip even more
+information between the lines, in ways that would allow readers
+to form their own questions about Epstein's finances.
+In that respect, she'd fulfilled her original assignment perfectly.
+What Carter needed to figure out was what to do with the
+artist, her sister, and their mother's story. But before he could
+swipe his key card to let himself into the magazine's offices, Car-
+ter saw a man standing in the reception area.
+The man was motionless. He'd been waiting for Carter.
+It was Jeffrey Epstein. Nonplussed, Carter invited him into
+his office.
+Epstein denied the claims involving underage women. No crimi-
+nal charges had been filed. And so Vanity Fair decided not to
+include the claims in Ward's article. But, according to Ward

+"He's sensitive about the young women. And we still get to
+run most of the piece."
+In her notebook, Ward wrote down the rest of what Carter
+had said: "I believe him," he told her. "I'm Canadian."
+But the piece that came out, in the March issue, still created a
+sensation. It was called "The Talented Mr. Epstein" in a sly refer-
+ence to Patricia Highsmith's celebrated suspense novel The Tal-
+ented Mr. Ripley. The film adaptation, by Anthony Minghella, was
+still fresh in the minds of Vanity Fair's readers. For Graydon
+Carter, just posing the question Is Epstein some sort of scam artist,
+like Ripley? had been question enough. And throughout the
+piece, there were ironies readers wouldn't miss as they drew
+their own conclusions about Epstein's life story. It came through
+clearly in the first line of the last paragraph of Ward's 7,500-word

+- post of Harry's Bar —which was itself a famous American
+outpost in Venice. Located inside the Sherry-Netherland hotel,
+it's a theme restaurant — the theme being money. And today, a
+hedge-fund manager named Todd Meister is talking about a very
+wealthy man—Jeffrey Epstein-whom he knows through his
+father, Epstein's sometime friend Bob Meister.
+"I've known Jeffrey since I was nineteen," Meister says. "So

+everybody else says. First off, he's no billionaire. Second off —
+and here's why— he has no clue how to invest. He has people do

+beautiful women that end up getting splashed all over the tabloids.
+It makes sense that, once upon a time, he and Epstein would
+have gotten along
+"As for the girls"" Meister says, "that was just business. He'd
+seat them strategically at client dinners. When he went to the
+movies, he'd take three or four girls with him. They'd take turns
+massaging his back, arms, and legs."
+According to Meister, Epstein used to boast that he "liked to
+go into insane asylums because he liked to fuck crazy women."
+"Who knows if it's true?" Meister adds. "But I'm telling you,
+he used to say it."
+From time to time, Epstein's friends and acquaintances would
+see sides of Epstein that he'd grown much less shy about sharing.
+Epstein encouraged Alan Dershowitz to invest with a prominent
+hedge-fund manager named Orin Kramer. Dershowitz did, and he
+made a lot of money at first. But in 2008, the fund Dershowitz had
+invested in lost a substantial amount. Afterward, according to a for-
+mer associate of Epstein's, Epstein appeared in Kramer's midtown
+Manhattan office. There, sources say, he told Kramer: "I's very much
+in your interest to make Alan Dershowitz whole."
+Epstein's intervention worked, and Dershowitz recovered his
+money.
+To people who'd known Epstein back in the 1980s, this kind of

+Epstein, getting on that plane with Clinton was more like a

+Epstein was like the mole in a game of whack-a-mole. It was only
+a matter of time before he'd be caught. But the question you had
+to ask yourself was, are people like Epstein born without mor-
+als? Or are their morals like snakeskin— just something they

+everyday working people have) as they make their way into that
+Eyes Wide Shut world?
+Todd Meister, who was married to Nicky Hilton and stole the

+"How does a yutz like Epstein get beautiful women?"

+Michael Reiter: January 2006
+s far as Michael Reiter's concerned, the case that his team
+has built against Epstein— slowly, meticulously, over the
+_course of an entire year — is airtight. Even now, Detective
+Recarey's finding new pieces of evidence. And already Reiter's
+been laying the groundwork with prosecutors. State attorney
+Barry Krischer has a reputation for toughness. He's known,
+nationally, for his prosecution of juvenile offenders. And Reiter's
+been keeping him abreast of the investigation. With Jeffrey
+Epstein, it's not simply a matter of seeing him punished. It's a
+matter of getting a sexual predator off the streets of Palm Beach.
+Krischer assures the chief that he's taking this case very
+seriously.

+turn.

+nature. I was concerned that we had not reached all of the vic-

+would do the same. And that we would have to have more con-
+tact in making sure it was handled responsibly, intelligently, and
+appropriately as it moved forward."

+was being looked upon unfavorably. "I had many people-related

+No, she told him. She wasn't Epstein's type. The girls she'd
+seen at his house were very thin and beautiful and did not have
+tattoos. This massage therapist had several tattoos that were vis-
+ible, and on quite a few occasions Epstein and Ghislaine Max-
+well had made negative comments about them.
+According to a Palm Beach Police Department Incident Report
+filed by Recarey on July 25, 2006, the detective had also heard
+from Mary's father, who said that a private eye had been to his
+house, photographing his family and chasing visitors away.
+Mary's dad had gotten the license plate — Florida E79-4EG.
+Recarey traced it back to one Ivan Robles of West Palm Beach.
+Robles turned out to be a licensed private investigator.
+Recarey informed the state's attorney's office.
+Alison also contacted Recarey and told him that she'd been
+approached by someone who was in touch with Epstein. Alison
+had been told that she'd receive money if she would refuse to
+cooperate with the police.
+Those who help him will be compensated, she was told,
+according to Detective Recarey's incident report. "And those who
+hurt him will be dealt with."
+Recarey reassured the girl and told her that tampering with a
+witness in a case like this was a serious, arrestable offense.

+years after Limbaugh's arrest, which coincided with Chief Reit-
+er's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the talk-show host settled
+with prosecutors, agreed to submit to random drug testing, and
+gave up his firearms permit.)
+Krischer himself, however, had been accused of sexual
+misconduct.
+In October of 1992, Jodi Bergeron, a legal secretary who'd worked
+for Krischer, filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him in the
+Palm Beach County circuit court. That suit was dismissed, but a few
+months later, the woman took Krischer to federal court, accusing
+him of making unwanted advances and demanding recompense for
+battery, negligence, invasion of privacy, and emotional distress.
+Krischer had placed his hands, violently, inside her blouse,
+the woman said. He'd forcibly fondled her breasts, forcibly kissed
+her, and rubbed her shoulders while brushing her buttocks with
+his hands and knees, all while accompanying the gestures with
+verbal advances.
+When she declined those advances, the woman claimed,
+Krischer fired her.
+Krischer denied the allegations. At the time, he was making his
+first run for the state attorney's office. The charges were politically
+motivated, he said. Members of a local chapter of NOW— the
+National Organization for Women—had stood by the lawyer, cit-
+ing his efforts to stop domestic violence, among his other virtues.
+"I am here to support Barry Krischer for the work his office
+did in my daughter's case," one woman said during a rally that
+took place in front of the courthouse. "Her murderer received
+the maximum sentence, a life sentence."

+FILTHY RICH
+former law firm agreed to pay Bergeron's attorney seven thou-
+sand dollars in legal fees.
+Now Chief Reiter and Detective Recarey were beginning to have
+their own questions about Barry Krischer. The Palm Beach PD
+wanted to charge Epstein with one count of lewd and lascivious
+behavior and four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a
+minor —felony charges that would have amounted to years
+behind bars in the case of a conviction. Wendy Dobbs and Sarah
+Kellen would be charged as accomplices.
+This was not the plan that Krischer seemed to have in mind
+for Jeffrey Epstein.
+In cases involving the sexual abuse of minors, prosecuting
+attorneys tend to have suspects arrested, then push for a trial.
+But instead of granting his approval for an arrest, Krischer told
+the police that he would convene a grand jury, which would be
+asked to consider a broad range of charges.
+In a case such as Epstein's, this was highly unusual. Not damn-
+ing in and of itself. But very strange. In Florida, grand juries are
+only required in capital cases. At the state attorney's discretion, they
+may also be called in controversial cases —for instance, cases
+involving crimes committed by public officials. But Jeffrey Epstein
+wasn't a public official, and as far as the Palm Beach PD was con-
+cerned, the only controversial thing about the case they'd built was
+that Epstein was rich and well connected. In his deposition for
+B.B. vs. Epstein, Chief Reiter rel ayed Krischer's concerns: the pros-
+ecutor had to make sure that his case was solid, beyond a reason-
+able doubt. And Krischer did have his doubts about the credibility
+of the young women who'd be called to testify against Epstein.

+Even so, Reiter was beginning to wonder if Krischer was
+stacking the deck in Epstein's favor-if, thanks to the sway
+prosecutors have over grand juries, assembling such a jury
+wasn't an excellent way to let Epstein off with the lightest pun-
+ishment possible.
+Another unusual thing: the way Barry Krischer and the law-
+yers working for him ignored Chief Reiter's multiple phone calls
+as well as Detective Recarey's — even though the police had been
+hearing from Epstein's own lawyers.
+"[Krischer] and I had an excellent relationship," Chief Reiter
+said in his deposition. "I was the speaker at his swearing-in cere-
+mony. And that he wouldn't return my phone calls —1 mean, it
+was clear to me by his actions that he could not objectively look

+In the incident report he ended up writing, Detective Recarey
+remembered a phone call that he received from Guy Fronstin,
+one of the lawyers representing Epstein.
+It was a message Epstein wanted to send, something central to
+the case that demanded explanation. The whole shit show swirling
+around him was just a misunderstanding—a misrepresentation-
+of Epstein's actual interests and intentions.

+Chief Reiter is outraged. His team has logged thou-
+sands of hours of work. They've assembled mountains of
+evidence. But instead of going to trial, the state attorney wants to
+see Epstein get off with a misdemeanor, five years of probation,
+and a psych exam.
+Why?
+Alan Dershowitz has presented the prosecutors with his own
+pieces of evidence— printouts from the victims' Myspace pages.
+In her "About Me" column, under "Best physical feature,"
+Mary has written "Ass and eyes."
+Under "Ever drank" and "Ever smoked pot," she's written
+"Yeah."
+Under "Ever shoplifted": "Lots."
+Under "Ever skinny dipped": "Yeah."

+One of the victims has been caught with drugs and arrested.
+She's also been caught stealing from Victoria's Secret. From the
+state attorney's perspective, these girls look like compromised
+women. And if what they say about Epstein is true, wouldn't that
+make them prostitutes?
+As witnesses, they would be weak, while the lawyers on
+Epstein's side were exceptionally strong.
+Alan Dershowitz had represented Claus von Bülow, the Brit-
+ish socialite who was acquitted of the murder of his wife, Sunny.
+Dershowitz had been on O. J. Simpson's team when the former
+football star was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole
+Brown Simpson and Nicole's friend Ronald Lyle Goldman. And
+rich as von Bülow and Simpson had been, neither one had had
+the resources that Epstein was willing and able to deploy in his
+own defense.
+Neither of them had been intimate friends with his lawyer.
+As far as Reiter was concerned, none of that mattered. Even if
+Epstein thought that the girls he'd molested were eighteen years
+old — even if they had lied to him—it didn't matter under Flor-
+ida law. The chief grew worried that in Epstein's case exceptions
+were being made, and he grew even more concerned with each
+unreturned call that he made to the state attorney's office.
+On May 1, the Palm Beach PD asked the state attorney's office
+to issue an arrest warrant for Jeffrey Epstein.
+That same day, Chief Reiter took the extraordinary step of
+writing Barry Krischer a letter all but demanding that he recuse
+himself from the case.

+1 May - May 1, 2006—you felt the
+is that correct?
+172
+Q: Can you tell us why?
+A: Well, I felt the handling— and just continued to feel that the
+way the state attorney's office handled this case was extremely
+unusual. I knew that Mr. Krischer was making decisions
+about this case. I felt that his objectivity was lacking, and I
+felt that the appropriate way, after reading the statute that
+governed the assignment of cases to other circuits—I felt
+that his action met the standard. I used some of the words
+from the statute in here. And I attempted to call him, and he
+wouldn't return my phone calls.
+The detective attempted to contact-his contact in the
+state attorney's office, Lanna Belohlavek, however you pro-
+nounce that... and she wouldn't return his calls. So I wrote
+the letter in hope that he would think about his situation and
+realize that his objectivity was insufficient to prosecute the
+case and ask the governor to appoint someone else. And I felt
+like that was necessary for a fair prosecution of our case that
+had been submitted to him.
+Q: Could you tell us, explain to us, why you felt that his objec-
+tivity may be lacking in regards to this prosecution...? In
+other words, what evidence did you see here, uncover, that
+you felt made it potentially nonobjective?
+A: Well... when I first told him about the case, and I realized
+that it was a serious case, [that] there were multiple victims,
+land] that the suspect was very well known, I told him about
+it. And we were—it was in person. I talked to him after a
+meeting that he and I were both involved in. And I had
+known him to be a victim advocate and to protect the rights
+of children. Well, I know that he even wrote a portion of the
+statute that addresses those issues. And when I told him

+originally, he said, "Let's go for it; this is an adult male in his
+fifties who's had sexual contact with children of the ages of
+the victims." He said this is somebody who we have to stop.
+And whatever we need, he said, in the state attorney's office,
+we have a unit that's equipped to investigate and prosecute
+these kinds of cases. And I didn't have too many facts early
+on when I talked with him, but I knew that there were multi-
+ple victims and to our detectives they were believable. So
+when time went on and Mr. Epstein became aware of the
+investigation and his lawyers contacted the state attorney's
+office, they told me that.
+And from that point on, and I believe it was Mr. Dershow-
+itz initially, the tone and tenor of the discussions of this case
+with Mr. Krischer changed completely. [At] one point he sug-
+gested that we write [Epstein] a notice to appear, which
+would be for a misdemeanor. He just completely changed
+from not only our first conversation about this —when] he
+didn't know the name Jeffrey Epstein-till when he had

+If Epstein's legal team had wanted to remove Weiss from the
+case, this would have been a good way to do it.
+Nine days later, Detective Recarey met with ASA Lanna
+Belohlavek, who told him that her boss, Barry Krischer, had asked
+her again to take the case to the grand jury. Recarey told Belohlavek
+that he had already requested arrest warrants for Epstein, Sarah Kel-
+len, and Wendy Dobbs. The Palm Beach PD had finished its investi-
+gation months earlier, he said, and had been waiting since then for
+the case to move forward. He asked her once more to issue the war-
+rants. Once again Belohlavek declined, saying that the original offer
+her office had made to Epstein's old lawyer had been resubmitted to
+the new lawyer. When Epstein's reply came, she would call.
+While waiting for that call, Recarey received several calls
+from Mary's father, who told him that he was being followed by a
+green Chevrolet Monte Carlo— tailed so aggressively that other
+vehicles were being run off the road. Recarey ran the plates and
+found that the Chevy was registered to one Zachary Bechard of
+Jupiter, Florida.
+Bechard was a licensed private eye.
+"A funny thing happened in Palm Beach," says Tim Malloy, who
+was working as a TV newscaster in South Florida at the time.
+"This would have been right around the time that Michael
+Reiter sent his letter asking Barry Krischer to recuse himself
+from the case. I didn't even know what Epstein looked like,
+really, at the time. We had pictures taken by the British tabloids,

+pastie Recary the despite his prove ios, he case
+would be going to a grand jury after all. One had been
+convened for July 19.
+On July 12, Recarey spoke with Mary's stepmother, who said
+that she still hadn't heard from the state attorney's office. This,
+too, was odd, since Recarey knew that Mary would be called
+upon to testify.
+She was back in Palm Beach now, after months of living with
+out-of-state relatives.
+All in all, it had been a very tough year for Mary.
+"What has happened to my daughter's life is criminal," her
+father would say.
+Mary had been sent to a school for troubled children. For

+gotten into more fights there, growing depressed and withdrawn
+from her sister and parents. Helplessly, her parents watched her
+spiral out of control. As they neared the end of their rope, they
+sent her out of state. But after the move, Mary had fallen apart
+completely. She used drugs, fell in with a bad crowd, ran away
+from her relatives, and shacked up with a gang of drug dealers.
+When the gang was busted by local police, the dealers blamed
+Mary for snitching and put out the word that they wanted her
+dead.
+"We had to move her again," Mary's father
+explained. "We
+finally got her into therapy — she's still seeing the therapist. And
+worst of all, she developed HPV. She's already had to have a seri-
+ous operation."
+Mary's troubles didn't end there. On June 28, she was brought
+in front of the grand jury. She hadn't been briefed by the state
+attorney-she hadn't even met the prosecutors-and she had
+no idea what she would be asked.
+Almost immediately, she found that she was being treated
+more like a criminal than like a witness or victim.
+"The prosecutor produced a printout of our daughter's
+Myspace page," Mary's father recalls. "Mary was stunned. She
+began to cry. The prosecutor accused her of all sort of things; it
+was like she was working for Epstein.
+"All this time, we knew that we were being watched. Creepy
+guys. Private investigators from Miami. They would follow us,
+scaring the hell out of my wife and Mary's sister. My car was van-
+dalized. It was like living in hell."
+By this point, Epstein's defense dream team included Jack
+Goldberger, Alan Dershowitz, and Gerald Lefcourt. All of them
+had excellent track records. Dershowitz and Lefcourt were two

+FILTHY RICH
+Once again, Chief Reiter was outraged. So much so that he
+took the extraordinary step of calling the FBI and the federal
+prosecutor's office.
+At the time, the federal prosecutor of the Southern District of
+Florida was a Republican named R. Alexander Acosta. Chief
+Reiter recalls being present at Acosta's swearing-in ceremony
+and remembers Acosta's declaration that one of his goals would
+be the prosecution, to the fullest extent of the law, of anyone
+who takes advantage of the weak— especially perpetrators of
+sex crimes. Disgusted with Krischer's laissez-faire attitude, Reiter
+recalls thinking he'd found his man.
+In Acosta, the chief saw a prosecutor who wouldn't shy away
+from confronting a man with Jeffrey Epstein's resources and
+connections.
+But it turned out that Acosta had worked under Ken Starr at
+Starr's high-powered multinational law firm, Kirkland & Ellis.
+And while Acosta had a sterling résumé, which included a stint
+clerking for future Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito, he had
+only argued two cases before a judge.
+At the time, Reiter did not know this. All he knew was that some-
+one had to look much more seriously into Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
+Reiter's actions did not necessarily make him a hero—at least,
+not in every corner of the community he served.
+"I had individuals suggest that the department's approach to
+the investigation and my referral of the investigation to the FBI
+was more horsepower than the investigation deserved. And I
+had other individuals suggest that— yeah, the term back off'
+probably fits," Reiter said in his deposition for B.B. vs. Epstein.

+190
+FILTHY RICH
+moment that Epstein had to plead guilty in court, which he
+finally did June 30, 2008.
+In the interim, according to their lawyers, Epstein's victims
+were only told, "This case is currently under investigation."
+A lawsuit that Bradley Edwards, a victims' rights attorney in
+Fort Lauderdale, filed in July of 2008 cited the Crime Victims'
+Rights Act, or CVRA (title 18, section 3771, of the US Code),
+which states that "victims of federal crimes have rights, includ-
+ing the right to be heard in court, and most particularly, not to
+be precluded from court proceedings, and the right to be treated
+fairly."
+According to him, prosecutors had violated the CVRA rights
+of the victims. Edwards, who said he was working pro bono,
+knew that this suit against the government would not allow for
+monetary recovery of any sort (including lawyers' fees). But he
+also knew that if the government, urged by Jeffrey Epstein, had
+entered into a contract that improperly or illegally violated the
+rights of Epstein's victims, then that contract, by nature, would
+have been improper in and of itself-in which case, the only
+remedy would have been to have the contract invalidated. And
+while it is difficult to know what, exactly, would happen if the
+contract is overturned, one possibility is that the government
+could prosecute Epstein for crimes against his victims, if the
+statute of limitations on those crimes has not expired.
+At the time of this writing, that case is winding its way
+through the courts. It has all the earmarks of a modern-day
+Bleak House-the Charles Dickens novel about a legal case that
+is so massive and so complex that it drags on forever and drags
+everyone involved into the mire.
