‘Magic David called’: David Copperfield repeatedly contacted Jeffrey Epstein

Phone messages and meetings suggest a friendship between Copperfield and the disgraced financier. His lawyers deny it

The message pads appear a little faded, but the handwriting on the spiral-bound notebooks is clear enough.

Staff at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in Florida’s Palm Beach used the pads to jot down the names of the people who had called the financier, and between 2004 and 2005, one well-known person appeared to be calling persistently.

Not Prince Andrew or Bill Gates, or even Bill Clinton, the former US president, though all of them have come under a spotlight over their relationships with the disgraced billionaire.

    Barr visited him immediately prior to his alleged suicide. Epstein probably had plastic surgery and is living in Europe now. Who got his Billions? I don’t recall a victim compensation fund or an investigation into his clients. One of the largest cover ups in our time is brushed over.

      Can’t speak to the first part, it’s definitely possible, but what I’m going to say next makes it less likely.

      They were likely never his billions. He was most likey a cutout, used by various intelligence agencies. Both as a source of blackmail material/asset development, as well as a means to move money around, off books.

      The guy was a legit idiot and was, ironically, groomed by powerful men to be inserted into his “life” as an “investor”.*

      *These parts aren’t conjecture, or opinion. His lack of intelligence is well documented, as is how he was placed on the path of being an “investor” for the ultra wealthy and powerful.

        From the reports I read he would use his blackmail on the marks to acquire that money and power. It doesn’t take a genius to blackmail people in his honeypot scheme. It makes total sense when you see how Israel seems to control our country. Trump saw the scam and is why he’s still not in Jail. Trumps a conman not a billionaire, but he’s protected as if he were

          It really doesn’t. There was a guy near me pimping his daughter and extorting some tech guy for millions who got busted. I know the family, dude is illiterate.
