List could be released as soon as Tuesday after deadline for objections to unsealing of names passes midnight Monday

Nearly 200 names connected to the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy could be released by a New York judge as soon as Tuesday, exposing or confirming the identities of dozens of associates of the disgraced financier that until now have only been known as John and Jane Does in court papers.

A deadline for objections to the unsealing of the names passes at midnight on Monday, nearly nine years after victim Virginia Giuffre filed a single defamation claim against Maxwell, daughter of the late British press baron Robert Maxwell, in 2015, that in turn produced the names in legal depositions.

A year later, in 2016, US district court judge Robert Sweet rejected Maxwell’s motion to dismiss the case, finding that “the veracity of a contextual world of facts more broad than the allegedly defamatory statements” and that Guiffre “was a victim of sustained underage sexual abuse between 1999 and 2002”. The parties settled out of court in 2017.

There's a very wealthy foundation that will stop that from happening. And there's a reason Melinda left Bill.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What reason?

Do you have a better source than a nesweek article that is completely based on unproven tweets?

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I just did a quick google search to try and find anything in the other persons claims but there is

NYTimes which I can’t access because of paywall

A BBC article of bill gates admitting he had meetings with Epstein

And that’s what I can find after looking for a couple minutes.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bill gates has publicly spoken about his meetings with Epstein, that's well known and public knowledge at this point.

I believe what's being asked for is more concrete information on why Melinda left Bill Gates and if Epstein had anything to do with it.

I couldn’t find anything regarding that but I wasn’t exactly trying very hard into sprawling the internet for it so it could be out there if you put any more effort than a quick search

Might need to update your search skills/sources/settings, I literally searched "Melinda Gates Epstein" and this was the first result. Kinda feels wrong even calling it a "quick search" given how little effort it took... Hell, you coulda clicked through on the first Newsweek article you posted and found the interview.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gift link for the NYT article if I did that right.

[–] assa123@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Thank you! I felt that only upvoting wasn't enough.

Thanks
