CHESAPEAKE CITY, Md.,
May 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Maryland auctioneers Alexander Historical
Auctions, known internationally for their sale of historic letters
and documents, will be offering at auction one of the most
provocative criminal relics of modern times – the personal address
and telephone book owned by American financier and sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein. The small,
plastic-bound 64 page book contains 386 individual printed entries
with two handwritten entries penned on the last page. Each entry
varies in length from only a few lines to over 10-15 lines or more,
and contains Epstein's contact's name, address, and telephone
number. The great majority of the entries also include
contact information for private residences, and often numbers for
pagers, aides, employees, parents, and even girlfriends.
Ninety-four of the names bear black, hand-applied checkmarks, and
five have been highlighted in yellow. These five names, including
that of former president Donald
Trump, are those of well-recognized financial and industrial
figures. In addition to former president Donald Trump, other notables within include
current presidential candidate Robert
Kennedy, Jr., attorney Alan
Dershowitz, Frederic Fekkai,
Christy Hefner, Sen. Edward Kennedy, and many dozens of other giants
in the fields of finance, manufacturing, real estate, politics,
film, television, law, fashion design, and so on.
There is also a good deal of information hinting at Epstein's
sordid past, including the very first entry: contact information
for the front desk and five apartment numbers (only) of residences
maintained by him for girlfriends, models, and attorney. An entry
for 'Masseuse/Masseur' lists 24 women's names and numbers, some
with pager numbers as well, with one bearing the descriptive: 'ugly
back up,' along with eight women listed under 'Exercise
people.'
The book was found on a Fifth Ave., New York sidewalk in the mid-1990s and was
later sold to a party in the Northeast. Internet journalists
Business Insider submitted the book for forensic analysis which
provided a positive result. The journalists then undertook calls to
dozens of those listed within the book. Many of the respondents
were incredulous that their numbers had been revealed, and some
spoke candidly of their relationship with Epstein. Others were
indignant or simply hung-up.
The auction house stresses that the fact that an individual's
name appears within the book in no way implies any connection
with Epstein's criminal activities, nor does it imply any
relationship with Epstein whatsoever.
This criminal relic is initially being offered for sale by
sealed bid with offers being accepted by the auction house from
May 15 – June
15, 2024. All offers will be treated with the utmost
confidentiality. Bidding details appear on the Alexander
Historical Auctions website. Should the book fail to attract a
satisfactory bid, it will be offered at public auction in mid-July,
2024.
