Daily Mail: Epstein acted as a “KGB agent,” recruiting Russian women to gather dirt on celebrities
Epstein's “sex empire” was a “KGB trap”: the pedophile had contacts with Putin, and Russian girls were flown in to collect dirt on world celebrities, — Daily Mail.
The publication's intelligence sources believe Epstein ran “the world's largest honeytrap operation” on behalf of the KGB.
In an email dated September 11, 2011, an unidentified person discusses a possible meeting between Epstein and Putin during a trip to Russia.
Another meeting was likely planned for 2014. In a letter, Japanese entrepreneur Joi Ito reported that billionaire Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, was unable to attend.
Other reports indicate that Epstein expressed willingness to provide the Kremlin with valuable information about Trump ahead of the Helsinki summit.
American intelligence officials believe Epstein entered the world of espionage through business connections with Robert Maxwell, who had been a Soviet agent since the 1970s.
US intelligence officials also suspect that Epstein had long-standing ties to Russian organized crime that could have blackmailed him.
The Epstein files contain 1,056 documents mentioning Putin and 9,629 documents mentioning Moscow.
