Previously redacted names of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s expansive network of friends and business associates have been revealed this week in the form of nearly 1,000 pages of court records, which were unsealed on Wednesday.
Many names of these associates and those in the inner circle of Epstein – who died in jail awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019 – had been formerly redacted from court documents.
