"No Co-Conspirators”: How the DOJ’s Epstein Claim...

The True Crime Tapes ·

2026/01/14

For months, and most aggressively in its final public posture, the Department of Justice told the public that Jeffrey Epstein acted alone, that there were no co-conspirators worth pursuing, and that the case was effectively closed because the evidence led nowhere else. That claim was presented as the product of exhaustive investigation, a sober conclusion reached after following every lead. But the unsealed Epstein files expose that narrative as a manufactured endpoint, not a factual one. The DOJ’s

2026/01/13

Jeffrey Epstein’s reach into academia was not an accident—it was a deliberate campaign of influence, and the institutions that took his money were not naïve. From Harvard University to MIT, prestigious institutions shamelessly accepted millions from Epstein, even after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. He was paraded through campuses, granted offices, and allowed to rub elbows with some of the most powerful intellectuals in the world. Harvard, for example, gave him a personal office and

In his interview with the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, Alex Acosta repeatedly framed the 2007–2008 Epstein non-prosecution agreement as a constrained, pragmatic decision made under pressure rather than a deliberate act of favoritism. He told inspectors that Epstein’s defense team, stacked with politically connected and aggressive lawyers, created what he described as a credible threat of a federal indictment collapse if prosecutors pushed too hard. Acosta emphasized that his office believed

Lawmakers, led by Rep. Robert Garcia and with support from members on both sides of the aisle, approved subpoenas not only for Wexner but also for Epstein’s longtime lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn—the co-executors of Epstein’s estate.

Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to Leon Botstein centers on Epstein’s financial ties to Bard College, where Botstein has served as longtime president. Epstein donated money to Bard and was involved in academic-adjacent circles that Botstein occupied, part of Epstein’s broader strategy of embedding himself in elite educational and cultural institutions to launder his reputation. Like Harvard, MIT, and other universities that later faced scrutiny over their acceptance of Epstein-linked funds, Bard

Jeffrey Epstein’s infiltration of academia exposed how wealth can override ethics in even the most prestigious institutions. Despite having no advanced degree or scholarly credentials, he gained access to Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford through millions in donations and by courting high-profile scientists. Epstein was granted office space, access to labs, and close ties with prominent academics, even after his 2008 sex-offense conviction. Universities rationalized these relationships by

Jeffrey Epstein violated the 2008 non-prosecution agreement repeatedly and blatantly, and yet faced no consequences from the same system that claimed the deal was conditional. The NPA required Epstein to comply with federal and state law, avoid further criminal conduct, and refrain from victim contact. Instead, after serving his sham county jail sentence, Epstein resumed trafficking behavior almost immediately. He continued to recruit young girls through the same network of associates, paid victims
