This episode was originally released exclusively for our members, but with Jeffrey Epstein back in the headlines, we are making it available publicly so everyone can hear the story that started it all.
Before billionaires, royals, politicians, and global outrage, the Epstein scandal began with something no one expected. A high school fight in Palm Beach, Florida.
In 2005, a fourteen-year-old girl casually told a friend she had been paid hundreds of dollars to give a massage to a wealthy man. When that friend repeated the story during a heated argument at school, the information spread. Teachers were told. Parents were alerted. And law enforcement was finally forced to look closer at a man who had been hiding in plain sight.
That moment cracked open what would become one of the most explosive sex trafficking cases in modern history. Without it, Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes may have continued unchecked for years.
In this deep dive, we break down how a single conversation between teenagers set off a chain reaction that exposed Epstein, his enablers, and the system that failed to stop him sooner.
If you want access to monthly bonus episodes, early releases, and members-only deep dives like this one, you can join our members group anytime. We would love to have you with us.
