Jeffrey Epstein reportedly asked an unidentified woman to procure a Snow White costume just weeks before his now-infamous email exchange with Jes Staley, the former chief executive of Barclays. This revelation was shared in an exclusive report by the Financial Times, which highlights the troubling nature of the communications between Epstein and the former banker.
According to the Financial Times, on July 1, 2010, Staley sent Epstein an email suggesting a playful banter between the two, stating, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.” Epstein, responding in kind, questioned which character Staley would prefer next, to which Staley replied, “Beauty and the Beast.” This exchange suggests a familiarity that has raised eyebrows given Epstein’s criminal history and the allegations surrounding both men’s conduct.
In light of the ongoing scrutiny into Epstein’s connections with high-profile individuals, the latest details are stirring public discourse on the implications of these relationships. In a separate post on social media, user @fruitloop16 commented that Staley’s relationship with Epstein was not merely professional, underscoring concerns that he was involved in more than just banking.
In addition to the communications with Staley, Epstein’s attempt to recruit women for seemingly innocuous photo shoots raises further questions about his motives. Reports indicate that he had also allegedly used the name of director Brett Ratner in these contexts, fueling speculation about the troubling undertones of such requests.
As conversations surrounding Epstein’s network remain prolific, observers are calling for a closer examination of the connections that intertwine powerful figures in the world of finance and entertainment. Lithuania, France and likely more EU countries will pile on with their own investigations later. The release of the emails has sparked new investigations into Epstein’s connections, touching off firings, and perhaps, imprisonment of those connected to the tranche.
