The longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, has said that there is no such thing as an “Epstein client list.” This puts an end to years of speculation about powerful people who are said to be connected to the disgraced financier.
Speaking in a rare interview from prison, Maxwell said the public has been misled by the idea that there is a secret roster of Epstein’s influential friends and visitors. “There is no client list,” she said. “It’s a myth that has been spread for headlines and conspiracy theories.”
The idea of a secret client list, which many people believe could reveal high-profile individuals who may have participated in Epstein’s crimes or facilitated them, has fueled calls for transparency for years. Although connections between prominent individuals and Epstein’s circle have already been established by witness statements, flight logs, and court filings, no official “list” has ever been made public.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors, has consistently denied wrongdoing beyond her conviction. Her latest comments are likely to reignite debate, with critics arguing that her statement is an attempt to shield powerful allies, while others may see it as confirmation that the long-rumored list is nothing more than speculation.
The controversy underscores ongoing public frustration over unanswered questions in the Epstein saga, particularly why so few others have faced legal consequences despite Epstein’s extensive network.
