Reddit reviews Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein – The Billionaire’s Sex Scandal (James Patterson True Crime (2))

So not only do we have a "Trump was never to pedo island" defense, we have the lie about Trump banning Epstein from his club.

The claim comes from a book titled filthy rich, written in 1999:

Ok enlighten us all to what a pedophile and a Nazi is smarty pants.

There’s a great book by James Patterson - Filthy Rich https://www.amazon.com/Filthy-Rich-Billionaires-Scandal-Shocking/dp/1455542644





I don’t know, my personal opinion is the term pedophile should bring shame to those who are actually pedophiles so I’m ok with the word pedophile being an insult that goes double for nazis too. I get what you’re doing, your touching on nuance. I still don’t understand your intentions, other than you’re saying you don’t believe he is a pedophile, but a rapist. So why is it that you believe he only abused teens and not any girls under 12?

I know about national socialism, I’ve read mein kampf.

Also, what is the definition of a hebephile? A man who likes pubescent girls? Girls and boys can enter puberty as young as 8 or 9 years old. If an 8 year old has their period, is that not pedophilia? Or would the person who has a “fetish” for pubescent girls not be a pedophile because the girl has had her period, entered puberty.

> She was there at the socialites’ dos: Cornelia Guest’s holiday bash, Georgette Mosbacher’s party for the writer Michael Gross. At real-estate mogul Aby Rosen’s birthday, at Harvey Weinstein’s cocktail party. At film screenings and store openings and fashion shows, at Tina Brown’s home and Arianna Huffington’s and the Time 100 Gala. For years, though not lately, Maxwell was a constant on the New York social scene in its most Upper East iteration. She was a friend of everyone, if an intimate of few.
>
> Maxwell seemed to know many rich and powerful men — articles mention her dining with Bill Clinton, photos show her partying with Elon Musk and deep in conversation with Stephen Schwarzman — but her most durable connection has been with Epstein. She was, as he once put it, his “best friend.” Maxwell, 57, has been accused in civil suits of serving as his procuress, luring women and girls into Epstein’s web.
>
> In court documents, Epstein’s accusers allege that Maxwell — who denies all and has never been criminally charged — acted as a recruiter, an instructor, and in some cases a participant in the abuse he practiced. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims Maxwell recruited her on behalf of Epstein when Giuffre was a 16-year-old spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, where Epstein has a home, said much of her grooming came from Maxwell. “The training started immediately,” Giuffre said in a video interview with the Miami Herald. “It was everything down to how to give a blow job, how to be quiet, be subservient, give Jeffrey what he wants.”
>
> “Every pretty girl in New York, in those days, Ghislaine would invite to Jeffrey’s,” said Euan Rellie, an investment banker and social fixture who has known Maxwell for years and who, along with his wife, the author and socialite Lucy Sykes, was a fellow guest at a dinner for Prince Andrew at Epstein’s townhouse in the early aughts. Maxwell and Epstein had been attached, but she was “now an employee of his, as I understood it,” Rellie said. “Her job was to jazz up his social life by getting fashionable young women to show up.” He presumed the young women to be in their 20s.
>
> Tabloid reports on Maxwell claim she managed Epstein’s properties from his office on Madison Avenue, which appeared in public records for many years as one of Maxwell’s addresses. Epstein, for his part, said she wasn’t on the payroll, yet she did errands for him: hunted for a yoga teacher in California and acted as intermediary when he wanted to give his friend the billionaire Les Wexner a family portrait painted by Nelson Shanks.
>
> She was said to be wickedly funny and unusually knowledgeable, glamorous, and, on top of that, British. (“I think New Yorkers are charmed by that high-end English accent,” photographer Patrick McMullan said.)
>
> What’s more, she was exotic. She had explored the seas and could pilot a helicopter, or maybe a submarine, one acquaintance thought — a MacGyver of the gala circuit.
>
> Maxwell arrived in New York in the early ’90s, on the cusp of her 30th birthday. English-born and poshly educated, she was the favorite daughter of Robert Maxwell, the English media mogul, whose holdings included newspapers, notably the tabloid Daily Mirror in London, and the Macmillan publishing house in the U.S. Ghislaine had founded a social club for women in London and worked for another of her father’s papers, and, according to the New York Post, she came as his emissary to American society when he bought the New York Daily News in 1991.
>
> But that same year, Robert was found dead — by suicide, murder, or accident (the official inquest’s ruling, though opinions vary) — in the Atlantic, off the Canary Islands. (He was last seen on the deck of his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine.) Soon after, he was discovered to have plundered the pension funds of the Mirror to shore up his floundering empire. Ghislaine was reported to have an income for life from a family trust, but at £80,000 a year, it would hardly be enough to sustain a high-flying lifestyle.
>
> The meet-cute of Epstein and Maxwell in New York is unclear, and neither has historically gone into any great detail. By 1992, they were already linked, showing up at a Mar-a-Lago party with each other in Palm Beach, where Trump and Epstein ogled women together in front of NBC cameras. Suffice it to say they were romantically linked and then platonically linked. (Epstein told people his former paramours move “up, not down,” to friend status.)
>
> For a woman seen everywhere about town, she is curiously silent in the press, except where ocean conservation is concerned. In 2008, she hosted a cocktail party for the board of the nonprofit Oceana at her townhouse on East 65th Street. And by 2012, she had launched the TerraMar Project, a conservation nonprofit of her own, of which, according to tax filings, she was president but from which she drew no salary. She gave a ted Talk about its work and talked it up at the U.N. and in the press, which credited TerraMar as her “brainchild.”
>
> From the New York social world, she has vanished. “I have not seen her in a zillion years,” one acquaintance said. The party photos dried up in 2016. Her 65th Street townhouse was sold for just over $15 million that year. Where is she now? One social-watcher guessed the islands; others think Europe. She incorporated a company — Ellmax, a play on her name — in the U.K., and TerraMar’s last two years of tax filings listed the address of an accounting firm near Boston. (An executive there declined to provide any forwarding information.)
>
> “She seemed like a woman who didn’t have any real job, didn’t have any real boyfriend, had lost her dad,” Rellie said of his impressions of her when they’d met. “A woman adrift who was clinging on to whatever she could find.” —Matthew Schneier

That's what it says in a book I read about Epstein. It seemed pretty well researched and legitimate:

https://www.amazon.com/Filthy-Rich-Billionaires-Scandal-Shocking/dp/1455542644

SS: Donald Trump banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-A-Lago in 1999 after he was caught trying to "recruit" for the lack of a better term. A member's young daughter complained to her wealthy father, that while relaxing she'd been approached and invited out to Epstein's house. The girl said that she had gone and that Epstein tried to get her to undress. The girl's father went directly to Trump, who - in no uncertain terms - told Epstein that he was barred from Mar-A-Lago.

You can read a little more about it in a book by James Patterson called "filthy rich"
