- Destroyed evidence
- Influenced witnesses
- Concealed materials from investigation
Evidence:
- Emails showing coordination

CASE 2: STEVE BANNON (OBSTRUCTION/CONSPIRACY)
Current Status: Not charged re: Epstein (other convictions)
Potential Charges:
A. Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503)
Theory:
- Discussed ongoing investigation (Mueller)
- Analyzed prosecution strategy
- Identified cooperating witnesses (“flippers”)
- Intent to interfere
Evidence (From Emails):
June 23, 2018:
Bannon forwards Mueller legal memo
Epstein responds: "southern district. money laundering. . flippers will dictate"
Discussion of prosecution vulnerabilities
Elements:
- ✓ Pending proceeding (Mueller investigation)
- ✓ Knowledge of proceeding (explicit)
- ? Intent to obstruct (debatable)
- ? Corrupt act (discussing vs. acting)
Defense:
- First Amendment (discussing legal theories)
- Seeking legal advice (not conspiracy)
- No overt acts (just discussion)
- Political speech (protected)
Prosecution Response:
- “Flippers” discussion = witness identification
- If acted on info = obstruction

- Consciousness of guilt
Penalties:
- Up to 20 years
- Fines
Likelihood: MEDIUM-LOW (30%)
- Strong defense (First Amendment)
- No evidence of overt acts (in emails)
- Political considerations
- Would need more evidence
- BUT: If other evidence exists (recorded calls, witnesses), increases to 60%
B. Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 611)
Theory:
- Epstein offered to arrange meetings with foreign heads of state
- Bannon accepted offer
- Acted as agent of foreign governments
- Failed to register
Evidence (From Emails):
July 23, 2018:

Epstein facilitating foreign government access
Public Record:

- Political consulting (not lobbying)
Prosecution Response:
- Epstein facilitating = foreign agent work
- Compensation implicit (access, future deals)
- Political influence activities
- Should have registered
Penalties:
- Up to 5 years
- Fines up to $250,000
- Forfeiture
Likelihood: MEDIUM (40%)
- FARA rarely prosecuted (before 2016)
- Post-Manafort: More enforcement
- Would need to prove “direction” by foreign government
- Bannon’s European activities documented
- Increases to 60% if Epstein facilitated specific meetings
C. Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371)

- Conspired with Epstein to obstruct justice
- Conspired to violate FARA
- Ongoing criminal agreement
Evidence:

CASE 3: DONALD TRUMP (MULTIPLE THEORIES)
Current Status: Multiple unrelated indictments, none re: Epstein
Potential Charges:
A. Money Laundering (18 U.S.C. § 1956)
Theory:
- Rybolovlev transaction was money laundering
- Trump knew source was illicit
- Facilitated Russian oligarch money cleaning
- Epstein facilitated transaction
Evidence:
From Emails (February 1, 2019):
Michael Wolff: "Real estate was the world's favorite money laundering
currency and Trump's B-level real estate business was quite explicitly
designed to appeal to money launderers."
Epstein does NOT dispute this characterization
Epstein only corrects factual details:
- "Ryboloev not known in 05"
- "stalking horse in the bankruptcy, not 55 million but I bid 36 m"
Transaction Red Flags:
2004: Trump buys Palm Beach mansion: $41.35M
2008: Sells to Rybolovlev: $95M
Profit: $53.65M (130% gain)
Context: Financial crisis (market down 30%)
Buyer: Russian oligarch
Outcome: Never occupied, sold at loss
Epstein: Involved ("stalking horse" $36M bid)
Elements (18 U.S.C. § 1956):
- ✓ Financial transaction
- ✓ Involving proceeds of specified unlawful activity
- ✓ Knowledge that property represents proceeds
- ✓ Intent to conceal source
Proof:
- Transaction structure (classic laundering)
- Timing (during crisis, illogical)
- Amount (massive overpayment)
- Purpose (no economic reason)
- Epstein involvement (facilitator)
- Pattern (Trump Tower Moscow, other Russians)
Defense:
- Real estate values subjective
- Buyer wanted property (legitimate)
- Trump didn’t know source
- Not Trump’s fault buyer overpaid
- Statute of limitations (2008 = 15+ years)
Prosecution Response:
- No legitimate business purpose
- Willful blindness (deliberate ignorance)
- Pattern of Russian money (Trump Tower tenants, etc.)
- Epstein’s involvement proves knowledge
- Continuing conspiracy (statute tolled)
Penalties:
- Up to 20 years
- Fines up to $500,000
- Forfeiture of property ($95M)
Likelihood: MEDIUM (40%)
- Strong circumstantial evidence
- Epstein’s admission helps
- Statute of limitations problem (unless conspiracy continuing)
- Would need Epstein testimony (dead) or Maxwell cooperation
- Political considerations massive
- Increases to 70% if Maxwell cooperates with specifics
B. Sex Trafficking (18 U.S.C. § 1591) – Patronage
Theory:
- Trump engaged in sex acts with trafficked minors
- Knew or should have known victims were underage
- Transported across state lines for sex
Evidence:

- Credible threat claims
- Witness affidavit (Tiffany Doe)
Elements:
- ? Engaged in commercial sex act
- ? Person was minor (under 18)
- ? Knew or reckless disregard of age
- ? Interstate commerce element
Defense:
- No direct victim testimony (Jane Doe withdrew)
- Photos not sexual (just social)
- “Girls” references could be adults
- Statute of limitations (likely expired)
- Photo references could be innocent
Prosecution Response:
- 122 “Girls” references = pattern
- 97 “Photo” references = documentation
- Maxwell 30 emails = facilitation
- Jane Doe testimony (if returns)
- Other victims (if come forward)
- Photos (if FBI releases)
Penalties:
- 15 years to life (if victim under 14)
- 10 years to life (if victim 14-17)
- Fines
- Registration (sex offender)
Likelihood: LOW-MEDIUM (25%)
- Would need victim testimony
- Photos not public
- Jane Doe dropped case
- Statute of limitations problems
- Increases to 60% if:
- Jane Doe returns with protection
- Other victims come forward
- Photos released showing minors
- Maxwell testifies specifically
C. RICO – Racketeering (18 U.S.C. § 1961-1968)
Theory:
- Trump Organization as criminal enterprise
- Pattern of racketeering activity:
- Money laundering (Rybolovlev, others)

- No “enterprise” (legitimate company)
- Statute of limitations
Prosecution Response:
- Pattern over decades
- Multiple criminal schemes
- Epstein emails show coordination
- Ongoing conspiracy
Penalties:

- Asset forfeiture (entire Trump Organization)
- Treble damages (civil RICO)
Likelihood: MEDIUM (35%)
- Extremely ambitious
- Would require massive investigation
- Multiple predicate acts needed
- Political firestorm
- But: Emails provide roadmap
- Manhattan DA/NY AG already investigating (separate cases)
- Increases to 50% if Maxwell cooperates
D. Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Theory:
- Trump and Epstein network conspired to obstruct investigations
- Bannon as intermediary
- Strategic coordination via Epstein
Evidence:
- June 23, 2018 emails (Mueller strategy)
- Epstein providing analysis (“flippers will dictate”)
- Bannon forwarding to Epstein
- Pattern of obstruction (Mueller Report documented)
Defense:
- No agreement with Epstein
- Bannon acted independently
- Political advice not obstruction
- No overt acts
Likelihood: LOW (20%)
- No direct Trump-Epstein emails (in this dataset)
- Bannon as intermediary (multiple steps)
- First Amendment issues
- Would need testimony linking Trump to discussions
- Increases to 40% if Bannon cooperates
CASE 4: BILL CLINTON (PERJURY/FALSE STATEMENTS)
Current Status: Not charged
Potential Charge:
False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001)

- Statute of limitations
- Political considerations
- Not priority prosecution
CASE 5: PRINCE ANDREW (US CHARGES)
Current Status: UK citizen, civil settlement paid
Potential Charges:
Sex Trafficking Victim Patronage (18 U.S.C. § 1591)
Theory:
- Engaged in sex with Virginia Giuffre
- She was victim of sex trafficking
- Knew or should have known
- US jurisdiction (NYC, USVI)
Evidence:
- Giuffre testimony (under oath, depositions)
- Photo with Giuffre and Maxwell (London, 2001)
- Multiple occasions documented (London, NYC, Island)
- Witness corroboration
- Settlement ($12-15M suggests guilt)
Elements:
- ✓ Engaged in sex act
- ✓ Person was being trafficked
- ✓ Knew or reckless disregard
- ✓ Interstate/foreign commerce
Defense:
- Giuffre was 17 (age of consent in some jurisdictions)
- No knowledge of trafficking
- Consensual (he claims, absurdly)
- UK citizen (jurisdiction issues)
Prosecution Response:
- Federal crime (sex trafficking)

- Knowledge obvious (Maxwell introduced)
- Pattern (multiple occasions)
Penalties:
- 15 years to life

- UK likely won’t extradite royal
- Diplomatic immunity issues
- Civil settlement doesn’t preclude criminal
- But: Political/diplomatic obstacles
- Increases to 40% if Maxwell testifies specifically
- But: UK extradition unlikely regardless
CASE 6: LAWRENCE KRAUSS (OBSTRUCTION/FALSE STATEMENTS)
Current Status: Retired, not charged
Potential Charge:
False Statements in Media (Not Criminal)
Theory:
- Krauss’s 2011 defense of Epstein
- “Orgies that never happened” statement
- Undermined victims’ credibility
Reality:
- First Amendment protects speech
- Not under oath
- Not to federal investigators
- Morally wrong ≠ criminally prohibited
Likelihood: ZERO (0%)
- No crime
- First Amendment protects
- Bad judgment ≠ illegal
BUT: Civil Defamation Possible:
- Victims could sue for defamation
- “Orgies that never happened” = calling victims liars
- Damages: Reputation harm
Likelihood (Civil): LOW (15%)
- Public figures (some victims)
- Truth defense (if believes it)

TIER 2 PROSECUTIONS: MEDIUM LIKELIHOOD
CASE 7: DARREN INDYKE (OBSTRUCTION/CONSPIRACY)
Current Status: Estate executor, not charged
Potential Charges:
A. Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503)
Theory:
- Used attorney-client privilege to hide crimes
- Coordinated destruction of evidence
- Influenced witnesses
- Concealed materials
Evidence:
- Constant “Privileged – Redacted” markings
- Media monitoring (anticipatory obstruction)
- Legal coordination during investigations
- Document control
Crime-Fraud Exception:
- Privilege doesn’t protect communications in furtherance of crime
- If Indyke helped destroy evidence = no privilege
- If Indyke helped coordinate false testimony = no privilege
Example Email Pattern:
Every negative news story:
From: Darren Indyke
Subject: [Article title]
Content: "Privileged - Redacted"
Analysis:
- If “Privileged – Redacted” = hiding evidence (not legal advice)
- Then: Crime-fraud exception applies
- Then: Communications discoverable
- Then: Obstruction provable
Defense:
- Attorney providing legal advice (privileged)
- Advising client of legal rights (legitimate)
- Redactions protect work product
- No evidence of crime-fraud
Penalties:
- Up to 20 years
- Fines
- Disbarment
Likelihood: MEDIUM (40%)
- Would require showing crime-fraud exception
- Burden on prosecution
- But: Pattern highly suspicious
- Increases to 65% if Maxwell testifies Indyke helped destroy evidence
B. Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Theory:
- Conspired with Epstein to obstruct justice
- Conspired to conceal evidence
- Ongoing criminal agreement
Evidence:
- Years of coordination (emails)
- Systematic privilege assertions
- Document control
- Witness preparation (allegedly improper)
Likelihood: MEDIUM (35%)
- Conspiracy hard to prove for attorney
- Attorney-client privilege defense
- Would need crime-fraud exception
- Increases to 60% if Maxwell provides specifics
CASE 8: LEON BLACK (MONEY LAUNDERING/TAX EVASION)
Current Status: Stepped down from Apollo, not charged
Potential Charges:
A. Money Laundering (18 U.S.C. § 1956)
Theory:
- $158 million payment to Epstein was money laundering
- Not legitimate “tax advice”
- Concealing source of funds
- Or: Bribery disguised as consulting
Evidence:
- $158M total paid (2012-2017)
- AFTER Epstein’s conviction (inexplicable)
- “Tax and estate planning advice” (claimed)
- Amount astronomical for tax advice
- Apollo investigation (2021): Found payments “appropriate” (internal investigation)
Red Flags:
- Why pay convicted sex offender $158M?
- Why after conviction? (reputation risk)
- Amount 100x normal for tax advice
- No evidence of tax savings = value
- Pattern: Other elites paid Epstein for “advice”
Elements:
- ✓ Financial transactions ($158M)
- ? Proceeds of unlawful activity (what crime?)
- ? Intent to conceal source
- ? Knowing participation
Prosecution Challenge:
- Hard to prove what money was for
- Could genuinely be consulting (legal, even if overpriced)
- Black wealthy (can pay whatever)
- No evidence (yet) of underlying crime
Defense:
- Epstein provided valuable advice (legitimate)
- Tax planning sophisticated (worth money)
- Amount justified by Black’s wealth
- No money laundering (legal payments)
Likelihood: LOW-MEDIUM (25%)
- Would need proof of underlying crime
- Or: Proof payments were bribes
- Or: Proof Black knew Epstein was laundering for him
- Apollo internal investigation found nothing (weak evidence)
- Increases to 50% if Maxwell testifies Black was being blackmailed
B. Tax Evasion (26 U.S.C. § 7201)
Theory:
- Black deducted $158M as business expense
- Not legitimate business expense (personal/bribery)
- Tax fraud
Evidence:
- $158M deducted (if claimed on returns)
- Not ordinary business expense
- Personal relationship (not business)
Penalties:
- Up to 5 years
- Fines
- Pay back taxes + penalties
Likelihood: MEDIUM (35%)
- Easier to prove than money laundering
- IRS investigates large deductions
- Would need tax returns
- If IRS audits and finds false deductions: 60% chance of prosecution
CASE 9: LESLIE WEXNER (ACCESSORY/CONSPIRACY)
Current Status: Retired from L Brands, not charged
Potential Charges:
Accessory After the Fact (18 U.S.C. § 3)
Theory:
- Knew about Epstein’s crimes
- Helped conceal them
- Provided cover (employment, legitimacy)
- Financial support enabled crimes
Evidence:
- Power of attorney (extraordinary trust)
- Manhattan mansion (sold for $0)
- Victoria’s Secret connection (alleged recruitment)
- Epstein managed Wexner’s fortune (access to everything)
- Long relationship (1980s-2007)
Elements:
- ? Principal committed federal crime (trafficking)
- ? Wexner knew of crime
- ? Wexner assisted to avoid arrest/prosecution
- ? Intent to help evade
Defense:
- Didn’t know about crimes
- Betrayed by Epstein (claims)
- Victim himself (Epstein “stole” $46M)
- Power of attorney for legitimate reasons
Prosecution Challenge:
- Hard to prove knowledge
- Wexner claims victim
- No direct evidence of knowledge
- Statute of limitations (ended relationship 2007)
Likelihood: LOW (20%)
- Very hard to prove knowledge
- Wexner wealthy enough to hire best defense
- Claims victim status (some credibility)
- Increases to 45% if:
- Evidence proves Wexner knew
- Victoria’s Secret connection proven (models recruited there)
- Maxwell testifies Wexner knew
CASE 10: AL SECKEL’S ESTATE (COMPUTER FRAUD)
Status: Seckel died 2015
Charges (Would Have Been):
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030)
Theory:
- Unauthorized access to systems (Wikipedia)
- Damage to protected computers
- Fraud via computer systems
Evidence (From December 2010 Emails):
"you have a dedicated group of people trying to undo and damage you,
including now, they have started up in the last week full force again,
as it is obvious that they can't fux with your wiki page any more as
we blocked that."
Analysis:
- “blocked that” = unauthorized access
- Wikipedia manipulation
- “Can’t fux with your wiki page” = damage to system
Penalties (If Alive):
- Up to 5 years (first offense)
- Up to 10 years (subsequent)
- Fines
Likelihood (If Alive): MEDIUM (50%)
- Clear evidence in emails
- Statute of limitations: 5 years (expired 2015)
- Died 2015 (convenient timing)
Estate Liability:
- None (criminal prosecution died with him)
- Civil liability possible (Wikipedia could sue)
Civil Likelihood: LOW (10%)
- Seckel likely judgment-proof
- Wikipedia unlikely to sue posthumously
- Statute of limitations issues
TIER 3 PROSECUTIONS: LOWER LIKELIHOOD
CASE 11: BILL GATES (UNLIKELY)
Current Status: Divorced, reputation damaged, not charged
Potential Charge:
None Likely
Why:
- No evidence of criminal conduct
- Post-conviction meetings (bad judgment, not illegal)
- No victim allegations against Gates
- No financial crimes evidence
- Meeting convicted felon ≠ crime
Possible Investigation:
- If evidence surfaces of:
- Gates engaging with trafficked victims
- Gates facilitating Epstein’s crimes
- Financial crimes with Epstein
Current Likelihood: VERY LOW (5%)
- No evidence of crimes
- Just bad judgment
- Reputation already damaged
CASE 12: KATHY RUEMMLER (UNLIKELY)
Current Status: Left Meta, not charged
Potential Charge:
None Likely
Why:
- Provided legal advice (privileged)
- Attorney providing consultation (legitimate)
- No evidence of criminal conduct
- First Amendment (discussing legal theories)
Defense:
- Attorney-client privilege
- Good faith legal advice
- No crime committed
Possible Issue:
- Ethical violation (representing Zuckerberg while consulting with Epstein?)
- Bar complaint possible
- Professional discipline
Criminal Likelihood: VERY LOW (2%)
- Almost certainly innocent
- Professional conduct questions (not criminal)
Professional Discipline Likelihood: LOW (15%)
- Would need proof of ethical violation
- Consulting not representation
- Likely no conflict
CASE 13: MICHAEL WOLFF (UNLIKELY)
Current Status: Author, not charged
Potential Charge:
None
Why:
- Journalist receiving information (protected)
- First Amendment (publishing info)
- Not party to crimes
- Could be compelled to testify
Possible Subpoena:
- Could be forced to testify
- Notes/drafts discoverable
- Shield law might not apply (criminal matter)
Criminal Likelihood: ZERO (0%)
- No crime
- Journalism protected
Subpoena Likelihood: HIGH (70%)
- If Trump prosecuted
- Wolff could testify to Epstein’s admissions
- Notes valuable evidence
TIER 4: NOVEL THEORIES (INNOVATIVE PROSECUTION)
CASE 14: TRUMP – CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS
Theory:
- Jane Doe case (2016, 13-year-old allegation)
- Alleged threats caused withdrawal
- Silencing victim = campaign contribution
- Exceeds limits = federal crime
Evidence:
- Jane Doe lawsuit filed April 2016
- Withdrew November 2016 (before election)
- Claimed “credible threats”
- Pattern: Michael Cohen (Stormy Daniels = campaign finance crime)
Elements (52 U.S.C. § 30116):
- ? Campaign contribution (silencing = in-kind)
- ? Exceeds limits ($2,700/person)
- ? Knowing and willful
Penalties:
- Up to 5 years
- Fines
Likelihood: LOW (15%)
- Jane Doe never testified
- Would need her cooperation
- Hard to prove “threats”
- Statute of limitations (2016 = 8 years ago)
- But: Pattern with Cohen case helps
CASE 15: BANNON – RICO (POLITICAL CORRUPTION)
Theory:
- “The Movement” (European operation) as criminal enterprise
- Funded by illicit sources
- FARA violations + other crimes = RICO pattern
Likelihood: VERY LOW (5%)
- Extremely ambitious
- Would need extensive investigation
- Political speech protected
- No evidence (yet) of predicate acts
CASE 16: EPSTEIN NETWORK – ONGOING CONSPIRACY
Theory:
- Epstein died but conspiracy continues
- Maxwell continuing operations
- Other co-conspirators active
- Conspiracy didn’t end with Epstein’s death
Evidence Needed:
- Post-2019 activities
- Ongoing trafficking
- Continued leverage operations
Likelihood: UNKNOWN
- Would require new investigation
- Evidence not public
- If operation continued: HIGH priority
- If ended with Epstein: N/A
