Epstein probe hones in on billionaire kryptonite: non-disclosure agreements
Members of Congress believe that, like Donald Trump, Leon Black may have used NDAs to try and conceal illegal activity committed during his 30-year friendship with Epstein.
What if Epstein was working for the Russians?
A lot of random pieces seem to fall into place, if Epstein is caught in a Putin honey hole when he's at that school. Putin gets Epstein hooked into the Russian mob as they move in. He's laundering and hiding hard currency. He's looped Trump in, who sells millions of $ worth of real estate. Epstein sinks his hooks into some of the most powerful figures in the world. Clinton became POTUS, Trump, and how many people in the administrations in between? Backing Israel militarily, to keep them belligerent...and keep oil expensive...enriching Putin. Everyone under Epstein's influence is working for Putin. Putin helping Trump beat Hillary, seemingly to get the guy who will spend more money on the military elected. And, make it look like Epstein really worked for Israel. Is that too crazy? Putin takes control of Russia around the end of his boy Clinton's term.
Wyden: 'Somewhere In The Treasury Dept... Locked Away In A Cabinet Drawer, It's A Big Epstein File'
What is currently going on with this?
As far as I can tell, Wyden can’t get any of this done to this day?
Dialog (Thiel) + Core Club (Epstein) overlap analysis to uncover intelligence networks. (It's Reid Hoffman)
I attempted to synthesize a few popular posts from here the last few weeks using AI. One method I'm using is to try and reverse engineer networks starting with known sleazy groups, and see who overlaps the most in those circles. This time I tried Dialog and Core Club. In a previous post, I had suggested Ashton Kutcher as a central figure connecting Hollywood to Unit 8200 American fronts for cyber espionage (US patsy via marriage, blackmail etc.) In this case Palantir and Microsoft are the ways 8200 connects to blackmailed people in the network. Like all things dual purpose, if you can build a defensive weapon, it can always be used for offense, etc.
TLDR; looks like Reid Hoffman is one of the central puppeteers. I'm curious what others can find by doing this kind of analysis, reversing the networks from these sleazy clubs may be a way to uncover the mafia structure. The muscle for these networks come from private intelligence assassins and cyber espionage, full military support but plausible deniability.
The most interesting link that surfaced (network of sleazy clubs idea):
----------------------
Prompts:
Look into all the people associated with the core club associated with epstein, and look up the dialog group by Peter thiel. who are the individuals at the center of those networks, who knows the most people or does business with them. Also summarize the individuals with the most 1st degree connections, 2nd degree, as well as 3rd degree connections.

THE NARRATIVE – NETWORKS OF NETWORKS
- Epstein understood: access is currency. He didn't just collect powerful friends — he actively managed their access to exclusive spaces.
- He brokered Soho House memberships, tracked applications, celebrated approvals, and offered to foot the bill.
- He cozied up to Giuseppe Cipriani, exchanging emails and arranging meetings.
- He became a founding member of Core Club, paying $100,000 and later claiming he "helped put them in business."
- Microsoft was his deepest corporate penetration. He spent over a decade inside the company, getting updates on CEO succession, receiving confidential business information, and building relationships that lasted until his arrest.
- Peter Thiel built his own parallel universe: Dialog, a secretive invitation-only society where global leaders discuss AI, war, and politics behind closed doors.
- The two worlds touched. Epstein was invited to Dialog. Thiel exchanged emails with Epstein until 2019. They dined together. Epstein used Thiel as a recruitment tool.
- Peter Thiel is the single 1st-degree connection bridging Epstein's club ecosystem and the Dialog network.
- Nathan Myhrvold, Reid Hoffman, and Steven Sinofsky are the key Microsoft figures with deep, documented Epstein ties.
- Palantir sits at the intersection: Thiel co-founded it, Epstein advised on investments in it, and Dialog members (Lonsdale, Thiel) are embedded in it.
THE TAKEAWAY
- The Epstein files are not just about one man's crimes — they are a window into how the global elite network across clubs, societies, and secret gatherings.
- Epstein and Thiel sat at the center, controlling access, brokering connections, and building webs of influence across finance, politics, technology, and entertainment.
- Stephen Schwarzman is the finance elite overlap: Core Club member, Epstein files name, host of Epstein-attended events — but no Dialog link.
- Peter Thiel is the connector: Epstein associate, Dialog founder, Palantir co-founder.
- Nathan Myhrvold is the Microsoft entry point: two decades of Epstein access, 50th birthday book, flight logs.
- Reid Hoffman is the Silicon Valley bridge: island visits, ice cream for "the girls," dinner with Zuckerberg/Musk/Thiel, Dialog membership.
- The question isn't whether these people knew each other. They all moved in the same rooms. The question is what they did with that access — and who else was in those rooms that we still don't know about.

Epstein moved millions through mysterious Virgin Islands bank right before arrest
Jeffrey Epstein activated a little-used offshore bank he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Southern Country International, moving more than $20 million through it between April and early July. After his death in August 2019, another $25 million flowed through the bank, including millions from unidentified sources, before its balance dropped back below $500,000 by year-end.
The Herald’s reporting provides the first full accounting of how Epstein used his obscure financial institution in the Caribbean — likely the first of its kind in the U.S. territory.

Edit: I also found that the Department of Justice redacted a 2013 list of people who attended Dialog in the Epstein files, too:

I was wondering if anyone had some information on the FBI tips associated with case id 50D-NY-3027571. Some of the tips seem a little unclear but it seems a YouTube video was posted with someone (maybe a minor) confessing to killing a woman, and the person had worked for Epstein. I'm struggling to find information of the incident other than FBI tips. The same date stamp shows some things regarding some digging works around the time and a couple of vague emails but not much else. I'm kinda new to the search feature on the doj website I'm not finding it very easy to use.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk apparently expressed an interest in visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean island numerous times in email correspondence between the pair that lasted for more than a year, according to files released by the Justice Department on Friday.
The files, part of a release of millions of documentsrelated to various investigations into Epstein, include 16 emails between Musk and the disgraced financier sent in 2012 and 2013.
Musk appeared to acknowledge on Saturday that the emails were genuine, but denied any close connection to Epstein.

Dana Chasin: Trying to hitch a ride with Leon Black: Washington DC links in Epstein victim’s diary
You don’t need to own an airplane to fly someone to NYC
Jul 05, 2026
This is part 8 of a continuing series on the Washington, D.C. links in an Epstein victim’s diary. Click here to start at the beginning and to see the table of contents.
One of the many people that Jane Doe speaks of in her diary is Dana Chasin. Before I get to what she says, I’ll tell you a bit about him.
Who is Dana Chasin?
“Dana Chasin [is] an heir of the Rockefeller family fortune … Chasin has been a fixture in progressive circles for decades. His stepmother, Laura Rockefeller Chasin, was a fourth-generation member of the Rockefeller family, and Chasin’s former employees say he leverages his family’s vast wealth to rub shoulders with powerful Democrats. Prior to launching 20/20 Vision in 2017, Chasin served as an economic policy adviser for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign. He also served in the offices of Sen. John Tester (D., Mont.) and former Sen. Mark Dayton (D., Minn.)”
Also, 1966 – 2003 he was Vice President, Global Project Finance team, at Société Générale, the French bank that lent Dan Snyder $340 million to help him buy the Washington Commanders.
Despite being a Rockefeller heir (although not actually a Rockefeller), he is one of the least important people I’ve been researching. The only reason I’ve chosen to write about him is that he elbowed his way into the Jane Doe vs Leon Black lawsuit. (It also really annoys me that despite allegations that he literally trafficked Jane Doe, there have been no charges filed against him. Perhaps that is due to statute of limitations rather than his family name.)
The Diary References to Dana Chasin
In the Year 16 diary, Jane Doe writes that Dana Chasin flew her to NYC.
From Ellie Leonard’s diary transcription
“Thank God my parents picked me up. For being a Rockefeller that plane Mr Dana had me on was scary!”
Her former lawyer, Jeanne Christensen, elaborates in an email:
>[redacted] drove her up to NYC after she got so air sick on Dana Chasin (Rockefeller’s) small prop plane the last time to Epstein’s NYC townhouse.
also (same email)
>“[readacted] knew Dana Chasin and that is how [redacted] was flown to NYC the first time (where she had sex with Larry Summers). At a later date, [redacted] flew with [redacted]. and Dana Chasin somewhere else, I am forgetting where right this moment.
Repercussions
Unlike far too many of the men named in the diary, Dana did have backlash after his name was published. A political fundraiser that he was set to co-host was cancelled, and a candidate he previously supported redirected his donations to charity.
Understandably, Chasin was not happy about this development, and he looked for legal recourse. He found a possibility in the ongoing proceedings of Jane Doe vs Leon Black. (Surprisingly, he has been the only person mentioned in the diary who has tried to do this.)
I do not have any legal training and will not try to explain the background for how Mr. Chasin was able to find legal standing for doing this, because I will surely get something wrong in the explanation.
Extracts from the filing
(My emphasis. Also, I changed the footnotes to links.):
April 22, 2026
INTRODUCTION
In 2023, Plaintiff Jane Doe sued Defendant Leon Black, claiming that she was sexually assaulted by Mr. Black while being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a minor in the early 2000s. Many of the details in her Amended Complaint are drawn from a journal she purportedly kept at the time. In January of this year, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) released that journal, as well as communications between Ms. Doe’s former attorney and DOJ prosecutors. In those documents, Ms. Doe and her former attorney claim that Ms. Doe once travelled to Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City home on a plane belonging to Dana Chasin. Those statements are false. Mr. Chasin never met Jeffrey Epstein. He never communicated with Jeffrey Epstein. He never visited any of Jeffrey Epstein’s properties. And he has never owned or leased a plane. Despite the utter falsehood of Ms. Doe’s fabrications, their release caused Mr. Chasin immediate and severe harm. …
Again, these claims are false. Mr. Chasin has never owned or leased a plane, much less a “small prop plane,” and he never met Jeffrey Epstein, communicated with Jeffrey Epstein, or visited any of his properties. But when the Department of Justice released copies of Ms. Doe’s journals and of her counsel’s communications with prosecutors at the end of January 2026, the damage to Mr. Chasin’s reputation was swift and severe. Mr. Chasin is a policy advisor and political fundraiser. After Ms. Doe’s false claims became public, a political fundraiser that Mr. Chasin was set to co-host was cancelled. A candidate he previously supported redirected his donations to charity. Employees at his organization quit, and he has been unable to hire replacements. Many of his personal and professional contacts stopped associating with him.
I might not have any legal training, but I do have a grasp of logic and an ability to read between the lines.
“Mr. Chasin has never owned or leased a plane, much less a ‘small prop plane,’ “
- This sentence strongly implies that Mr. Chasin had a pilot’s license. If he did not have one, I believe that fact would have been the first thing said.
- There are more ways of obtaining an airplane than to own one or lease one. It is possible to rent one and, of course, to borrow one.
“He never met Jeffrey Epstein, communicated with Jeffrey Epstein, or visited any of his properties.”
- When you fly on a commercial airline, does the pilot know the person you will be meeting when you get to your destination? Have they been to that person’s house? How would that be different for the pilots of private aircraft?
- We know that Epstein had assistants who arranged transportation. It would not have been necessary for Mr. Chasin to have ever communicated with Epstein himself. Not only that, Ms. Christensen said that someone in Jane Doe’s circle knew Mr. Chasin. It might be that person is the one who communicated with Mr. Chasin about getting a flight to New York.
“Employees at his organization quit, and he has been unable to hire replacements.”
- It can be hard to get employees when you’ve recently been found guilty of wage theft. Nov 2023: “[Dana Chasin], a Democratic megadonor and Hillary Clinton adviser who warned about the dangers of wage theft was fined over $168,000 for systematically stealing wages from his employees. … [He] misclassified the entire workforce at his advocacy firm, 20/20 Vision, as independent contractors instead of employees, Schwalb said. As part of his penalty, Chasin will have to pay over $118,000 in restitution to 21 current and former employees whom he allegedly deprived of overtime wages and sick leave.
- It can be even harder to get employees when your Glassdoor reviews are so hilariously bad.
I did not “pick and choose” just the bad reviews. There were only these three.
Honestly, I think the employees that left were relieved to have had the opportunity and it is quite obvious why he hasn’t been able to hire anyone else.
Like I said, I have no legal training, but after seeing these reviews, his argument that he has been severely harmed by the allegations in the diary is hilarious! Mr. Chasin, if you are reading this, I’m sorry, but perhaps you need to look to the owner of your company to find the reason that you cannot get new employees.
Many of his personal and professional contacts stopped associating with him.
Personal contacts? Is that another way of saying “friends”? If so, your lawyers should NOT have put that into their argument; it all but says “His friends think he is guilty.”
