Epstein's 'little black book' from sex trafficking ring goes up for auction

The auction house 'Alexander Historical Auctions' has announced that it will offer for sale on May 15 via private auction the 'little black book' of Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of creating a child sex trafficking and prostitution ring, which contains the names of 221 prominent individuals.

In a statement from the auction house, it was noted that the identity of the buyer and the bid amount would be kept confidential:

"The book contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of people Epstein was in contact with, as well as family members, secretaries, and emergency contact information. The book also includes the names of 221 high-profile individuals who have not been previously disclosed, in addition to names that were already public.

A musician living in Manhattan in the mid-1990s found this book on a sidewalk in New York. The book was later examined by the FBI, but at the time, it was not considered to be of significant evidentiary value. The book also contains details regarding his private island, Little Saint James, which he purchased in 1998.

It includes the contact information for the wife of the man from whom Epstein purchased the island. The book also contains detailed information regarding Epstein's relatives, whose addresses match residences we found in public record searches."
