Congress Names Epstein’s 'Filthy 14' (Part 3) (9/3/26)

0:00What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode we're picking up where he left off with Jeffrey Epstein and the Filthy 14. Jean-Luc Brunel requires far less imagination because his place beside Epstein was visible for years. Brunel was a major modeling figure whose relationship with Epstein merged money, modeling, travel, and access to young women. In help finance MC-squared model management, Brunel had the professional infrastructure to find aspiring models across countries and bring them into elite circles. Allegations of sexual misconduct against Brunel stretch back years before the Epstein's scandal finally consumed them. Women accused them of rape and sexual abuse. Virginia accused Brunel of being deeply involved in Epstein's procurement of girls. Brunel denied wrongdoing. Epstein's authorities eventually placed them under formal investigation and arrested him.

1:00He died in a Paris jail before the criminal process could reach trial. The modeling connection makes Brunel one of the most disturbing people in the entire Epstein story. Modeling is built around young people being told that one introduction can change their lives. A scout can change their lives. A photographer can change their lives. A wealthy patron can change their lives. A trip to New York or Paris can change their lives. Put Jeffrey Epstein inside that machinery and that danger becomes obvious. He could offer exactly the mixture of money, glamour, travel, and connections that made skeptical questions feel like obstacles to opportunity. Brunel helped make that world available to him. And American authorities had years to understand it. They knew Epstein's appetite for young women. They knew modeling repeatedly appeared around them. They knew Brunel, they knew MC squared, they knew allegations were being made. Yet the process moved with the urgency of a DMV line until French authorities eventually

2:02took Brunel into custody. But then years had been wasted. Then Brunel died. Whatever answers he might have been forced to provide in court, well, those died with him. Now Daniel Saed, maybe one of the most enraging names on Massie's entire list because the release communications removed much of the mystery about what he actually did. Saed was a model scout who communicated with Epstein for more than a decade. His name appears across an enormous number of released records. He sent Epstein information about young women and teenage girls. He described their ages and nationalities. He discussed photographs and arranged introductions. He continued dealing with Epstein after the 2008 conviction. Epstein paid him tens of thousands of dollars according to reporting on the released records. Saed nevertheless maintained that his work with Epstein was strictly professional. Now that explanation would be easier to stomach if the results had not been so ugly.

3:05CNN identified two women Saed introduced Epstein who later said that Epstein abused them. Saed told CNN that nobody introduced had ever returned to tell him about how bad the experience was. Now think about how inadequate that answer is. This son of a bitch was sending young women toward Epstein. Epstein was already a convicted sex offender. Saed says nobody came back and complained. Well, so apparently that ended his responsibility to wonder what happened after the introduction. What was this douche expecting? A customer satisfaction survey? Young women who have just been exploited? They don't always return to the man who introduced them and filed a formal complaint. I don't think that should be required advanced training and human behavior to understand. Saed also claimed that he believed Epstein was connected to casting for Victoria's Secret and modeling opportunities. CNN reported that it found no evidence supporting the notion that Epstein actually held the casting role Saed described.

4:07So we're left with a grown man who spent years in the modeling business. Believing Jeffrey Epstein was a legitimate gateway to modeling success, even after Epstein's criminal conviction. That explanation is almost insulting in its convenience. Saed knew how the industry worked. He knew what legitimate casting looked like. He knew what model representation looked like. He knew Epstein somehow continued receiving girls and young women through him. French investigators eventually began examining Saed. In July 2026, he was found dead at his home near Paris before investigators could obtain all the answers that they wanted. Now ran the L-coli's emails are perhaps even more revolting because they show the casual language with which women could be discussed around Epstein. L-coli worked as a modeling agent and maintained extensive correspondence with Epstein beginning around 2009. Now that date should immediately make the blood boil.

5:08Epstein had already been convicted. L-coli nevertheless talked with them about models and potential introductions. In one email he told Epstein that 23 was on the old side for him. In another exchange he'd discuss ways of getting a shy model into lingerie. He offered to keep Epstein in mind while scouting abroad. We're not talking about somebody accidentally sending Epstein a Christmas card. L-coli is said in his crude language that it was exaggeration designed to impress Epstein and that he did nothing illegal. He said the women he introduced were adults and that Epstein never paid him. He's also explained that he hoped Epstein's connections could help his models land lucrative work, which would benefit their careers and his commissions. There it is in plain English, usefulness. Epstein had something L-coli wanted. L-coli had access to something Epstein wanted. They communicated about women while both understood the favors could move in both directions.

6:09L-coli even wrote to Epstein about introducing models as favors because Epstein was also good for favors. Calling all of that mere bad language does not make the underlying arrangement any less repulsive. Though Washington Post found more than 100 emails spanning roughly a decade and reported discussions involving potential meetings with at least two dozen women. L-coli told the newspaper that some meetings never occurred. He also admitted fabricating certain claims in emails when confronted with contradictions. That does not exactly inspire confidence in the rest of the explanations. One model previously reported that L-coli introduced her to Epstein before Epstein's actually exploitiner. L-coli has disputed responsibility for what later happened between Epstein and the woman that he introduced. But the moral problem is not complicated. If you're putting young women in front of Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction because you think he can do favors for you, you've already made a disgusting calculation.

7:13Whether that calculation crossed a criminal line is precisely what investigators should determine. Andrew Mountbatten-Wenzor, the joe exotic of the Windsor family, needs no introduction because his Epstein relationship has already destroyed what remained of his public standing. Virginia accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 17. After she was allegedly trafficked to him, by Epstein and Maxwell. She described encounters in London, New York and the Virgin Islands. Andrew denied her allegations. She sued his bitch ass in federal court. She fought the case for a minute, then he settled it before trial. No admission of liability came with the settlement, but neither did the courtroom showdown he had spent years suggesting would vindicate him. Andrew's BBC News Night interview remains one of the most catastrophic attempts at self-exoneration ever committed on television. He tried to explain why he stated Epstein's Manhattan mansion after Epstein was already

8:15a convicted sex offender. He talked about ending the friendship in person because he was supposedly doing the honorable thing. He talked about pizza express. He talked about his inability to sweat. He produced explanations that sounded less like answers than something assembled during a fever dream, a buckingham palace. The arrogance beneath it was breathtaking. Andrew seemed generally unable to understand why ordinary people, me and you, found his continuing relationship with Epstein appalling. That blindness told the public plenty even if it entered nothing about the allegations themselves. Then of course there was Andrew supposedly enthusiastic willingness to help law enforcement. Publicly he presented himself as willing to cooperate with the appropriate authorities. Federal prosecutors later complained that meaningful cooperation had not materialized in the manner that they saw it. His legal team pushed back against those claims, years of procedural and diplomatic noise

9:16followed. And that is exactly the shit people are sick of. If a former prince possesses information relevant to an American sex trafficking investigation, investigators should get the answers through every lawful avenue available. The palace doesn't get special evidentiary code. Now messy went on further on the House floor and directly accused Andrew of committing sex crimes in the United States. That is an extraordinary accusation for a congressman to make in Congress. It places more pressure on the Justice Department to explain what it's done with the allegations involving New York and the Virgin Islands. Roberts is now dead, Epstein dead, years have disappeared. Andrew has spent much of that time protected by wealth, royal machinery, lawyers, and geographic distance. The least the government can do is demonstrate that it treated the allegations with the seriousness it would have shown. If the accused man had been Andrew Smith from Queens instead of the son of the queen,

10:20anything less reeks, then of course we have Leslie Groff. And she may be the person on Massey's list whose claim of ignorance is hardest to hear, without becoming pissed off. Groff worked as Epstein's executive secretary for roughly 18 years. She handled scheduling, she handled calls, she handled travel coordination, she circulated calendars. She dealt with appointments, she occupied a position that touched the daily mechanics of Epstein's existence for more than two decades. Yet when Groff testified before Congress in 2026, she insisted that Epstein successfully kept his abuse of life hidden from her. Groff told lawmakers that she scheduled a massage appointments but understood them as ordinary massages. She said she didn't meet the girls and women coming to provide them, in the way survivors later described. Several survivors responded publicly without rage. Marina Lassurda, who said she entered Epstein's world when she was 13 or 14, directly contradicted

11:22the picture Groff painted. Survivors said Groff was someone through whom access to Epstein could run. They described questions about age, appearance, schooling, and other details. Groff denied knowingly facilitating abuse. But after 18 years of managing details around Jeffrey Epstein, he kept that part from me, begins to sound less like an explanation, and more like something begging to be dismantled under oath. And Congress finally started doing that. And then of course, there is the non-prossecution agreement. Groff was one of the people explicitly protected in the notorious federal deal that resolved Epstein's original Florida exposure. That alone makes the history of what prosecutors knew about her critically important. Why was she named? What evidence existed? What theory were prosecutors considering? What interviews had been conducted? What conduct did investigators believe potentially required immunity from prosecution? The public should have received clear answers to those questions years ago.

12:25Instead, one of the people, protected by perhaps the most infamous prosecutorial deal in the entire Epstein saga, spent nearly two decades without having to publicly explain the details over work, until Congress came calling. Massie's decision to put these 14 names into the congressional record is not powerful because it gives the public another list to obsess over. We've had enough lists. It's powerful because many of these names are attached to specific transactions, specific emails, specific allegations, introductions, jobs, appointments, testimony, or investigative documents. And that's where the pressure belongs. Just daily should be examined through the thousands of communications, the bank records, the visits, and his own testimony. Leon Black should be examined through the staggering money trail, and every service Epstein allegedly performed. Less wax nurse should be examined through the extraordinary authority Epstein obtained over his financial life.

13:26The modeling figures should be examined through the women they sent toward Epstein. Employees should be examined through what they scheduled saw, heard, and arranged. And what makes this entire thing so sickening is the endless parade of brilliant people becoming idiots the moment Jeffrey Epstein enters the sentence. Wall Street Titans, who can identify a financial risk halfway around the planet, apparently could not identify the risks sitting across the dinner table. Modeling professionals who understood exactly how vulnerable young women could be inside their industry, supposedly never wondered why Epstein constantly wanted introductions. Employees who organized the smallest details of his existence somehow allegedly missed the central fact of that existence. Social friends continued visiting after a sex offense conviction because apparently that was not enough information to spoil their dinner. The ability needed several days at the Manhattan Mansion to end the friendship. Billionaires needed Jeffrey Epstein to perform financial work worth more than most people

14:29could spend in ten fucking lifetimes. Everybody has an answer, and somehow none of the answers ever seemed to include basic human curiosity. And that's why I have so much contempt. Not because every person, maskey named, has been convicted of an Epstein-related crime, but because of collective performance of helplessness, has become intolerable. These weren't powerless people. These were people accustomed to controlling companies, fortunes, schedules, careers, social circles, staff, and entire fucking institutions. They knew how to conduct due diligence when their money was at risk. They knew how to investigate employees before handing them responsibility. They knew how to hire private investigators when litigation threatened them. They knew how to protect themselves. Yet when young women were the ones carrying the risk, ignorance suddenly became fashionable. Jeffrey Epstein could only remain useful after 2008 because people continued finding uses

15:31for them. His phone still rang. His homes still received guests. His emails still received replies. His introductions still had value. His advice was still sought. His social circle did not instantly collapse. Young women were still being discussed and introduced around them. The registered sex offender remained welcomed because apparently the benefits of knowing Jeffrey Epstein outweigh the moral cost of being seen with Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department now has an opportunity to stop insulting everyone. Massey has named the people he believes warrant investigation. Congress has collected testimony. Millions of pages have emerged. Members have contradicted witnesses. Financial transactions have been exposed. Emails have revealed relationships that were previously minimized. Old FBI memoranda have surfaced. The government does not need another committee to determine whether questions exist.

16:31The questions are sitting in front of its face. Investigate the filthy 14 names with the same aggression that would be applied, the 14 broke defendants, and a drug conspiracy. Follow the money without caring whose art collection, bank, corporation, or family office appears at the other end. Follow the communications without caring whether the recipient is a former prince or an unknown modeling scout. Follow the women and determine who introduced them, why they were introduced, and what happened afterward. Reconciles revive their testimony with calendars and travel records. Reconciles congressional testimony with emails. Reconciled professed ignorance with documented proximity. Put witnesses back under oath when the documents contradict them. And stop treating wealth as a reason to become delicate. Because that's what's been missing from the Epstein investigation from the beginning. Institutional aggression directed upward. The authorities showed plenty of power when dealing with young women, employees, record

17:33requests, secrecy fights, and the public. Now that same confidence frequently evaporated when billionaires royalty, measure banks, influential attorneys, and internationally connected businessmen enter the picture. Everybody becomes cautious. Everybody worries about evidentiary nuance. Everybody suddenly discovers patience. Twenty years later, the patience looks a lot like surrender. And the people who paid the price for that surrender were never the people sitting in pen houses. And Thomas Massey finally put 14 names where they cannot quietly disappear into another 3 million page document dumb. Now the burden moves to the Department of Justice. Just stayly deserves questions that match the depth of his relationship with Epstein. Black deserves questions that match the size of his money. Less Wexner deserves questions that match the extraordinary authority he wants placed in Epstein's hands. Copperfield deserves questions that match what the FBI itself was examining.

18:35The modeling figures deserve questions that match the women they allegedly placed in Epstein's path. Andrew's bitch ass deserves questions that match Virginia's allegations. And Groff deserves questions that match 18 years spent helping run Epstein's life. And none of them deserve worshipful treatment because they are rich, famous, connected, accomplished royal or surrounded by expensive attorneys. Their resumes do not answer questions, their wealth, doesn't erase emails. The reputations don't cancel testimony, denials don't destroy documents, and their embarrassment is not more important than the truth. Jeffrey Epstein relied on a world where status caused other people to lower their voices, and that habit needs to die with them. Ask those questions loudly. Pursue those answers mercilessly and let the evidence decide what comes next. Their decades of excuses, anything less, would be another act of contempt against the people
