Earlier this week, Rep. Thomas Massie demanded America’s attention toward 14 names that he described as Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor. He also pushed for the DOJ to conduct actual investigations and prosecutions related to Jeffrey Epstein’s network — instead of continuing the coverup.
The names Rep. Thomas Massie called out are all very familiar if you’ve been hanging around my neck of the woods for a while.
For anyone who is not aware, or for those who need to jog their memory, let’s quickly go through the names given and talk about what we know.
Who was named?:
Jes Staley
Leon Black
Les Wexner
David Copperfield
Lapo Elkann
Tom Pritzker
Glenn Dubin
Frédéric Fekkai
Edoardo Teodorani-Fabbri
Jean-Luc Brunel
Daniel Siad
Ramsey Elkholy
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew
Lesley Groff
1. Jes Staley:
former JPMorgan executive and former Barclays CEO
If there is one name on this list whose relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become dramatically more significant in 2026 — it is Jes Staley.
Jes Staley spent more than three decades working at JPMorgan, eventually running its private bank and asset-management operations. Who was a longtime client of JPMorgan?
Jeffrey Epstein, of course.
In July 2026, Jes Staley sat for questioning by the House Oversight Committee.
The transcript released last month revealed that he had repeatedly shared confidential JPMorgan information with Jeffrey Epstein. Some of this information concerned the Federal Reserve, bank inflows during the 2008 financial crisis, prospective transactions, and even his own compensation.
Jes Staley also acknowledged that he had argued for JPMorgan to keep Jeffrey Epstein as a client, even after he was convicted in 2008 of soliciting sex from a minor.
In an attempt to explain that decision, Jes Staley told lawmakers that he regarded Jeffrey Epstein’s crime as essentially a “one-off” and believed the predator had reformed.
Jes Staley also tried to explain his championing of the sex offender by stating Jeffrey Epstein had helped his career substantially, including connecting him to Glenn Dubin.
The connection between Jes Staley and Glenn Dubin is massively important and often overlooked. As you likely recall, Glenn Dubin sold his company Highbridge Capital to JPMorgan in 2004 for $1.3 billion dollars, with Jeffrey Epstein acting as the middleman.
This deal would make Glenn Dubin and his wife (Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend) Eva Andersson-Dubin, billionaires — while Epstein pocketed a cool $15 million from the transaction.
The transaction was not only a defining moment in Glenn Dubin’s life, it ultimately became one of the defining deals of Jes Staley’s career.
On top of this, it has been well documented that Jes Staley emailed Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 to reminisce on his recent visit to one of Jeffrey Epstein’s properties.
In this email exchange, Jes Staley told Jeffrey Epstein to tell “Snow White” he said “hi.”
Jeffrey Epstein would later ask Jes Staley which Disney character he wanted to be with next.
Unfortunately, this would not be the only reference to “Snow White.” On that same date, a redacted sender (seemingly Jes Staley, in my opinion) described what they did to one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.
2. Leon Black:
Billionaire investor and former Apollo Global Management CEO
Leon Black is one of the founders of Apollo Global Management (a firm that holds extensive ties to the Kushner Family) and paved himself a road to the top that made him one of America’s most powerful private equity executives.
Leon Black has acknowledged paying Jeffrey Epstein enormous sums of money for financial, tax management, and estate-planning advice. In fact, a massive percentage of Jeffrey Epstein’s overall income came directly from Leon Black.
Public reporting has put the figure at approximately $158 million to $170 million, depending on which records and accounting are being used. Even for the wealthiest individuals, this is a massive amount of money to give to someone supposedly for advice and paperwork filing.
Outside and inside of his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, Leon Black has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple victims.
Leon Black’s known victims were primarily first victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. These victims include an autistic 16-year old Jane Doe, a Russian model named Guzel Ganieva, and a young woman named Cheri Pierson.
In 2023, Leon Black also paid out a $62.5 million settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands concerning claims related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In June 2026, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Leon Black after lawmakers said he had refused to answer certain questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
3. Les Wexner:
Billionaire businessman and founder of L Brands
Les Wexner represents the relationship that arguably gave Jeffrey Epstein his greatest legitimacy. Les Wexner built the retail empire The Limited, which later became L Brands and included brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Limited Too, Bath & Body Works, Express, and PINK.
When Jeffrey Epstein became Les Wexner’s financial adviser in 1987, he gained massive access to the lawless world of fashion and modeling.
Jeffrey Epstein ultimately obtained power of attorney over Les Wexner’s affairs in 1991, and acquired significant control over aspects of Les Wexner’s financial and personal business.
Les Wexner has repeatedly said he was deceived by Jeffrey Epstein, but his February 2026 testimony before the Oversight Committee has raised more questions than answers.
Les Wexner testified before the House Oversight Committee and described himself as having been “duped by a world-class con man.”
He also said he knew nothing about Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal conduct and maintained that he cut ties after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2006 arrest.
This is untrue, as Les Wexner emailed Jeffrey Epstein in 2008, months after pleading guilty in his Palm Beach case.
Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner gave him unimaginable access, but it also gave him something money alone could not buy: credibility.
The association with Les Wexner helped transform Jeffrey Epstein from an obscure financier into someone who could move comfortably among billionaires, celebrities, politicians and royalty.
4. David Copperfield:
Illusionist
David Copperfield is another unsurprising name on Rep. Thomas Massie’s list.
While he was not a banker, politician, or modeling agent, he was a world famous magician — something that appears to have intrigued Jeffrey Epstein.
The files contain evidence of David Copperfield appearing in Jeffrey Epstein’s home, and giving tickets/backstage access to young women within the Epstein operation.
Going all the way back to 2007, the FBI documents referenced a “clear connection” between David Copperfield and Jeffrey Epstein, yet nothing was done.
David Copperfield was even separately investigated by the FBI in connection with allegations of sexual misconduct involving an woman, but he was never charged in that matter.
5. Lapo Elkann:
Italian businessman and member of the Agnelli family
Lapo Elkann brings us into the Italian side of the network — a side we have become very familiar with over here.
Lapo Elkann is a member of the extraordinarily wealthy Agnelli Family, and he is the brother of John Elkann.
John Elkann is the current head of the Agnelli family’s business affairs, including the management of family-owned brands, such as Ferrari and Fiat. A few months back John Elkann appeared in the Oval Office with Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino in anticipation of The World Cup’s kickoff.
The Elkann brothers (John Elkann especially) also maintain a close relationship with a large number of tech giants including: Sam Altman, Alex Karp, and Jeff Bezos.
Lapo Elkann has held a reputation of partying hard and leading a very chaotic lifestyle. In my opinion, this (on top of his familial connections) makes his appearance in The Epstein Files and Epstein-related correspondence unsurprising.
One of the many interesting connections to Lapo Elkann surfaced while researching Jeffrey Epstein’s Brazilian network a few weeks back.
In a 2006 email exchange with Brazilian model, fashion entrepreneur, and recruiter, Ana Maria Macedo, Jeffrey Epstein wrote:
“i called lapo and left a message,, have ingrid see me tomorrow”
This very small snippet gives us an idea of the proximity Lapo Elkann held with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates — they were quite friendly.
The Agnelli Family connection becomes even more interesting because Eduardo Teodorani-Fabbri, another person on Rep. Thomas Massie’s list, is connected to the same Agnelli Family tree (as is Paolo Zampolli).
6. Tom Pritzker:
Businessman and Hyatt heir
Thomas Pritzker was another name Rep. Thomas Massie declared as a problem. He is apart of the family behind Hyatt Hotels and the broader Pritzker billionaire empire.
The released files show Thomas Pritzker communicating directly with Jeffrey Epstein about politics, business, women/girls, and family matters. Outside of this, the DOJ’s Epstein Files are filled with alarming and questionable communications between the two.
Some of their email communications clearly show Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Pritzker discussing girls/women.
One 2018 even explicitly shows Thomas Pritzker helping Jeffrey Epstein’s (last known) partner, Karyna Shuliak in planning a trip to Southeast Asia — with the stated goal of “finding females” for Jeffrey Epstein.
In early 2024, Thomas Pritzker was named in a deposition filed under oath by Virginia Giuffre. She testified in the deposition that she had been sexually abused by Thomas Pritzker.
7. Glenn Dubin:
Billionaire hedge-fund manager
Glenn Dubin is one of the most important names on this list, in my opinion.
Like we just discussed in Jes Staley’s section, Glenn Dubin co-founded Highbridge Capital Management and would sell it to JP Morgan — Jeffrey Epstein played a role in connecting Glenn Dubin to JPMorgan via Jes Staley.
Similarly, Glenn Dubin and Jes Staley’s personal and financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continued long after his 2008 conviction.
In my previous research, we have found extensive correspondence and photographs involving Jeffrey Epstein and the Dubin Family as a whole.
Jeffrey Epstein was named godfather to his ex girlfriend, Eva Andersson-Dubin and Glenn Dubin’s first daughter, Celina. The family seemingly adored and supported Jeffrey Epstein throughout his legal turmoil…
Eva Andersson-Dubin and Glenn Dubin even took it upon themselves to write a glowing letter to Jeffrey Epstein’s probation officer shortly before the end of his 13 month stint in (and out of) jail.
The couple expressed having zero concern about Jeffrey Epstein being around their three underage children despite his status as a registered sex offender.
Despite this sentiment, a clear pattern of grooming and inappropriate behavior can be observed on Jeffrey Epstein’s part towards the Dubin children throughout the DOJ’s Epstein Files.
Before her tragic and mysterious death, Virginia Giuffre accused Glenn Dubin and Eva Andersson-Dubin of being predators who put their child in harms way:
8. Frédéric Fekkai:
Celebrity hairstylist and entrepreneur
Frédéric Fekkai’s name transports us into the fashion and beauty world.
His name is particularly important because of testimony from Sarah Kellen, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s former assistants/recruiters/victims.
In May 2026, Sarah Kellen told the House Oversight Committee that Frédéric Fekkai had sexually assaulted her, and shared that he introduced her to Jeffrey Epstein initially.
According to reporting on her testimony, Sarah Kellen said she met Frédéric Fekkai around 2000 or 2001 and that he initially presented Jeffrey Epstein as a “Victoria’s Secret model scout.”
Frédéric Fekkai has also been pictured at a 2012 event hosted by Glenn and Eva Andersson-Dubin, in which Jeffrey Epstein, The Dubin Family, victims/recruiters, and our current Secretary of Treasury — Howard Lutnick, were all in attendance.
Former employees of Frédéric Fekkai’s salon have previously described a hostile workplace due to the owner. According to the DOJ’s Epstein Files, Jeffrey Epstein would send young women to Frédéric Fekkai’s salon and paying for their services.
In June, the Oversight Committee asked the DOJ to investigate allegations made by Sarah Kellen concerning Frédéric Fekkai, and another name she gave as a perpetrator: former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine.
It is important to note that while Sarah Kellen now identifies as a victim, some survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s network would firmly disagree. Many survivors have accused Sarah Kellen of facilitating their sexual abuse and helping to run Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation in exchange for a large monthly salary.
There are many things to be said about the cycle of abuse and the nuance needed to fully understand how traffickers/predators insulate themselves from accountability via abuse and manipulation of those who they perceive as powerless.
We can acknowledge that Sarah Kellen was victimized in her own regard, and seek accountability from the men who violated her — without invalidating the survivors who are rightfully seeking accountability (from her and everyone helped run this operation) for what was done to them at a very young age.
9. Eduardo Teodorani-Fabbri
Italian businessman and member of the Agnelli orbit
This is one of the names that deserves substantially more attention, and a name we have been sounding the alarm to (seemingly) a void for awhile.
Eduardo Teodorani-Fabbri is part of the extended Agnelli Family network and has held positions connected to major Italian industrial interests.
His relationship with Jeffrey Epstein appears repeatedly in the documents, and can be easily identified by Eduardo Teodorani constantly referring to Jeffrey Epstein as “master”.
My research into the DOJ’s Epstein Files has uncovered communications between Eduardo Teodorani and Jeffrey Epstein spanning roughly a decade.
His family tree also places him in proximity to Lapo Elkann, John Elkann and Paolo Zampolli.
Eduardo Teodorani also dated an associate of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell who is the current Global Communications director at the controversial fashion brand Balenciaga. Her name is Francesca Nardi, and the DOJ’s Epstein Files show multiple communications between Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and herself.
10. Jean-Luc Brunel:
French modeling agent — deceased
Jean-Luc Brunel is another name on Rep. Thomas Massie’s list — a name we simply cannot escape over here.
Jean-Luc Brunel was embedded in the international modeling system that Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly exploited. Together, Jean-Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein founded MC2 Model Management (New York, Miami, Tel-Aviv [this branch is still open today] ) and used it to recruit victims.
Jean-Luc Brunel was repeatedly named by investigators and survivors in connection with the recruitment, sexual assault, and sex trafficking of young women and girls. (Girls including teenage Amanda Ungaro, the mother of Paolo Zampolli’s child.)
He was arrested in France in 2020 (after hiding out in Brazil with Ghislaine Maxwell) and was awaiting trial on allegations involving rape and sexual assault when he died by hanging in prison in 2022.
The circumstances of his death were shockingly similar to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death.
Jean-Luc Brunel was also closely associated with other recruiters in Jeffrey Epstein’s network including Ghislaine Maxwell and Daniel Siad.
11. Daniel Siad
Model scout — deceased in 2026
Daniel Siad is another figure named by Rep. Thomas Massie, and like Jean-Luc Brunel, he is no longer alive.
Daniel Siad’s name appears thousands of times in the DOJ’s Epstein Files, and we have covered him extensively.
He was a “model scout” who worked traveled internationally on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein — hunting for new “prey”.
The DOJ’s Epstein Files contain emails surrounding scouting women/girls, sending photographs, arranging meetings, and reporting constant updates back to Jeffrey Epstein.
One 2009 email discussed scouting in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Other communications show Daniel Siad discussing women/girls with Jeffrey Epstein in a disgustingly transactional manner.
The Guardian has reported that Daniel Siad compared his scouting work to fishing, language that is deeply disturbing given the allegations surrounding his work.
In my previous article on Daniel Siad, we uncovered his old X/Twitter account, which was very clearly a Donald Trump fan account.
French authorities were investigating allegations involving Daniel Siad, and had successfully wiretapped him, when he was found dead at his Paris apartment in July of 2026.
Daniel Siad’s lawyer said he died of a heart attack… while authorities said the cause was initially undetermined.
Daniel Siad’s death means investigators have lost the opportunity to question one of the people whose correspondence may provide the clearest picture of Jeffrey Epstein’s international modeling pipeline.
Not only this, his victims lot the opportunity to receive justice for his crimes.
…The clock is ticking, clearly.
12. Ramsey Elkholy
Former New York modeling agent
Ramsey Elkholy is perhaps the least known name on this list… which is why he is important.
By now, we know that Jeffrey Epstein’s recruitment network did not consist solely of infamous figures like Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean-Luc Brunel — there were many intermediaries.
Ramsey Elkholy (like many of the figures we cover) is a perfect example of one of those intermediaries. He was a New York modeling agent who maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years.
A Washington Post investigation found communications between Ramsey Elkholy and Jeffrey Epstein spanning over a decade.
In one particularly disturbing exchange after Jeffrey Epstein’s release from jail, Ramsey Elkholy offered Jeffrey Epstein a young model and described her physical appearance in disturbing detail. This was not an uncommon occurrence.
Ramsey Elkholy later told The Washington Post that he had introduced five or six models to Jeffrey Epstein but insisted he did nothing illegal and never received payment from Jeffrey Epstein. He said he was ashamed of the crude language in his emails and claimed “he was trying to impress Jeffrey Epstein”.
I don’t think “crude language” even begins to cover a description of how he spoke to Jeffrey Epstein about victims/potential victims. On top of that, the DOJ’s Epstein Files make it abundantly clear that Ramsey Elkholy was certainly receiving something in exchange for his services.
Ramsey Elkholy also curiously handled the final estate documents for a deceased model connected to Jeffrey Epstein: Ruslana Korshunova.
On my other social media platforms, I have discussed Ruslana Korshunova and her mysterious passing extensively. To learn more about her, you can click these links for more information.
13. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Formerly Prince Andrew
(The former) Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been publicly documented for years — this is nothing new.
Andrew met Jeffrey Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell and maintained a relationship with him for years.
Flight logs place Andrew on Jeffrey Epstein’s aircraft on multiple occasions.
Before her death, Virginia Giuffre stated publicly (and in legal filings) that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to Andrew when she was 17, and that Andrew sexually abused her.
In 2022, Andrew settled Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit without admitting wrongdoing.
The scandal destroyed Andrew’s public role.
He lost his royal patronages and military affiliations, and in 2025 he was stripped of his remaining royal titles.
We know this story well, and will never let Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor forget about it, either.
But in February 2026, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in Britain on suspicion of misconduct in public office relating to allegations surrounding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his activities as a British trade envoy.
The arrest followed revelations concerning communications and information he allegedly shared with Jeffrey Epstein… but he was released while under investigation.
14. Lesley Groff
Epstein’s longtime executive assistant
Finally, there is Lesley Groff.
Lesley Groff is different from almost everyone else on this list because she wasn’t a billionaire, celebrity or social acquaintance. She was an employee.
According to the DOJ’s Epstein Files, for nearly twenty years, Lesley Groff was one of the people who kept Jeffrey Epstein’s operation running.
Her responsibilities included scheduling “massages”/appointments, correspondence, and travel arrangements. While this may seem innocuous at first glance, when you realize Lesley Groff was the “secretary” behind a sex trafficking empire — it makes her role much more damning.
Her name appears an extraordinary number of times in the files… anything Jeffrey Epstein did, she seemingly knew about it. In February 2026, reporting identified Lesley Groff as one of the most frequently mentioned people in the released records—more than 150,000 references in some datasets.
Lesley Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee in June 2026, and her position was unsurprisingly straightforward. She said she did not know about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and was not a co-conspirator.
She described Jeffrey Epstein as a “master manipulator” and argued that her employment did not mean she knowingly participated in his criminal conduct.
It should be known, like Ghislaine Maxwell — Lesley Groff was a fully grown adult when she began working for Jeffrey Epstein. She was (and still is) a mother, as well, which makes her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s operation even more sickening.
If Jeffrey Epstein’s empire functioned like a machine, people like Lesley Groff were responsible for keeping the machine operating.
In closing: I know this feels like a ton of information, and it was presented to you fairly bluntly. In our normal deep dives, we really get to the heart of things piece by piece — but I wanted people who are unfamiliar with these names to have a general grasp on the list given by Rep. Thomas Massie.
Not a deep dive, but a crash course — if you will.
Accountability is still possible and within reach — but it is going to take more than one, two, or three courageous representatives speaking up.
Our voices are always stronger together, and it is that strength that will eventually topple this insulated house of cards.
Chat soon,

Excellent reporting. Thank you Bekah.
Thank you Bekah for telling us details about these people surrounding Epstein. I was mesmerized and not in a good way by the photos you included. It is chilling to see the evil looks in the predators’ eyes, next to the innocent expressions in the girls’ eyes.
