The connection between Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein is core to the claim that Epstein was an intelligence, specifically a Mossad, asset. While podcasters rant and legacy media snoozes on this topic, let’s investigate – starting with what we do know.
We know that Epstein and Ghislaine knew each other by 1991. Ghislaine said the two met that year and testified in a 2016 deposition that a “mutual friend” introduced them. This aligns with flight logs submitted to the court that show the two had travelled from Wilmington, Delaware, to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey in July 1991, four months before Robert’s death.
So Epstein and Ghislaine had met by the year her father died at the latest. But did her dad know the notorious Epstein?
That is less clear.
A 2022 BBC documentary called the “House of Maxwell” suggests that Epstein and Robert did know each other; in fact, they reportedly worked together: A former friend of Ghislaine’s, Vassi Chamberlain, claims that Epstein agreed to help Robert hide his fortune offshore amid his financial troubles. She recalled:
I was in [New York City] and I had some friends who worked on Wall Street during that time and they heard that Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell had entered into an agreement before Robert Maxwell’s death, whereby certain funds had been syphoned off.
Colin Barr, the documentary’s executive producer, said, “I think we now know for a fact that Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein knew one another before Maxwell died, I think there is no question about that.”
He continued: “The question about Ghislaine Maxwell’s relationship with Epstein is a bit less clear, but it’s pretty clear they all knew one another in some form, we’ve spoken to quite a number of people who can confirm that. For the longest time, it was thought their relationship started after [Robert] Maxwell’s death, so I think more will come out in the next couple of years because I think those layers are starting to peel back now.”
But why would Robert Maxwell want to work with Jeffrey Epstein?
