In a long-overdue act of transparency, a federal judge ordered the names of roughly 170 individuals—once shaded behind the label “John Doe” or “Jane Doe”—to be unsealed in court filings stemming from Virginia Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents revealed luminaries like Bill Clinton (previously “Doe 36”), Prince Andrew (“actually Jane Doe 162” in context of testimony), hedge fund titan Glenn Dubin, modeling mogul Jean-Luc Brunel, and others represented alongside Epstein’s victims, employees, and passersby.Rather than simple exposure of identities, this unmasking lifted the curtain on how deeply entrenched Epstein’s network was, reaching into the upper echelons of finance, royalty, and politics.

But make no mistake: public exposure doesn’t mean public accountability. Unsealing the names confirmed countless high‑profile connections, yet it stops short of revealing misconduct or initiating investigations. In many cases, the inclusion in these documents wasn’t tied to wrongdoing—people merely appeared in correspondence or witness lists. Still, the moral stain lingers. If Epstein’s proximity wasn’t disqualifying, what is? That these names remained cloaked so long—until a lawsuit ended in 2024—speaks volumes about the protection privilege continues to afford the powerful.
