A reminder that Jean Luc Brunel is the forgotten co-conspirator in all this

Someone that also died under unusual circumstances, ruled a suicide, while awaiting trial in France.

Where charges had been brought that amongst other key points, he used modeling agencies along with Epstein to recruit and traffic woman for the operation.

Virginia Giuffre(who was also the person in the famous Prince Andrew picture with Epstein) was the star witness.

Giuffre, who was first approached by Maxwell/Epstein at the age of 14, at a private club the two spent a lot of time at and used to recruit many young girls. That place was Mar a Lago. Where Giuffre's father was hired on as a maintenance worker and Virginia was hired to work at the spa as an attendant.

Should be noted that Giuffre also died by suicide.

Yep, I actually feel a need to somewhat censor how much I put into posts because it is one of those things that when you simply put up too many of the facts it sounds conspiratorial to the lay person reading it.

But yeah. She was hit by another car and committed suicide when she was given only a few days to live.

There are really a lot of crazy links.

For instance, Trump's current commerce secretary Howard Lutnick was Epstein's New York neighbor for two decades.
