On Friday, an address book from the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was up for auction in Cecil County for an estimated$ 75, 000 to$ 100, 000. According to Alexander Historical Auctions, the book was sold, meaning there were no proposals or the buying failed to reach the highest approved selling price.
According to the auction’s product information, the 64-page guide had 386 printed comments and two” childlike”, handwritten comments on the last page. Along with a list of qualities owned by Epstein, the entries list the names, phone numbers, and addresses of several well-known figures and their spouses in industries like real estate, laws, film, clothing, and more.
Five people in the book are outlined in yellow, including former US President Donald Trump. Alexander Historical Auctions in Elkton confirmed that all five brands are “well-recognized financial and industrial numbers,” despite not saying what the value of the features was.
Of the thousands of titles, 98 bore a written dark check next to them. Similar to the identifying, the bid house was unable to understand the significance of the inspections.
” This artifact is a piece of legal proof of the highest buy”, reads the information.
Bid officials did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2008, Epstein admitted to buying a baby for prostitution and extorting a woman, but he was detained once more in July 2019 on federal charges related to the sex prostitution of adolescents in Florida and New York.
After being discovered dead in his prison cell as a result of what some believed to be a murder, Epstein’s criminal charges were dropped. The government has expressed skepticism about the dying.
The” Little Black Book” contains” a good deal of information hinting at Epstein’s filthy past,” according to Alexander Historical Auctions, which states that the first entry contains contact information for the front office of an apartment building and five room numbers.
The handle of the tower was “home for decades to youthful models, girls, aircraft and lawyers associated with straight sex offender Jeffrey Epstein”, the product description reads.
In 2004, a similar text was discovered by the FBI and used as evidence in legal proceedings, which was disclosed after Epstein’s dying.
According to the auction building’s product description, the publication that was up for auction in mid-1990s was removed from a sidewalk in New York City and given no factual significance when it was recovered from there.
In 2020, while the singer was cleaning out her store, she found the book and realized it belonged to Epstein. She assumed the text was a duplicate and put it on eBay, where a graduate student bought it, who has since owned it.
According to Business Insider , Epstein’s two dark books combined 1, 731 names, 221 of which are in the auctioned guide but are not in the text that was found years later in 2004.
There is no evidence that any of the people listed in the book, aside from those who have already been tried and found guilty, were in any way connected to crimes committed by Epstein, according to the auction house information.
