Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. One of the sectors of society that Jeffrey
Epstein loved to infiltrate was academia, and it didn't matter
if the school was on the East coast or the
West coast, or anywhere in between. And we've talked a
whole lot about Jeffrey Epstein and his Ivy League adventures
at Harvard and Yale. But if you think it stopped there,
you have not been paying attention, because now we have
records showing us that Jeffrey Epstein was paying for students
at Berkeley University as well, and not only that, one
of the stipulations was that she had to find Jeffrey
Epstein to quote unquote assistance, and considering who we're talking about,
that seems to be a bit disturbing assistance. We all
know what Jeffrey Epstein's assistants were expected to do. Now,
to be clear, the person in this article that they're
talking about never ended up being one of Jeffrey Epstein's assistants,
if you will, but instead somebody that seems like they
got caught up in his web. So let's dive into
this article from The Daily Californian and let's see what
they have for us. Headline price to pay for Berkeley
Jeffrey Epstein paid law students tuition in exchange for assistance.
This article was authored by Ray Weimer, Eleanor Dalton, Hannah Camicker.
Record show that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein funded as
students you see Berkeley School of Law degree in return
for referring female assistants. That is just nefarious as fuck.
Like here, I'm gonna pay for you to go to school,
but I need you to refer these women back to
me that you meet on campus. That's part of it.
And what did he need the women for? We all know,
we all know what he needed the women for. And look,
one of the main reasons we're even talking about this
article is because it offers more proof of what Epstein
was up to. This man was recruiting women everywhere he went,
and once he got him into his web, the coercion
began and it was rinse and repeat right. How many
times throughout history did Jeffrey Epstein do this same exact scheme? Plenty,
That's how many times Jeffrey Epstein paid Berkeley Law School
one thousand dollars deposit in twenty sixteen, according to a
March twenty second American Express credit card statement. The timing
of the payment corresponds with several emails exchanged between Epstein
and the law student. The pair communicated frequently from twenty
fifteen to twenty nineteen, during which the student completed a
Master of Laws from Berkeley's Law program and graduated in
twenty seventeen. And do you think Jeffrey Epstein was doing
that out of the kindness of his heart or did
he have ulterior motives. He wasn't doing it because he
was nice and he wanted this girl to succeed. He
was doing it because he wanted something from this girl.
And it looks like what he was trying to get
along with whatever else was her to help him recruit
other girls. And that was the Ponzi scheme Epstein was
up to. He would coerce these women, get them here
from other countries, get them involved in all kinds of
immigration fraud, take their passports, put them in that building
at E sixty six, and then make them do whatever
he wanted. And we have heard that time and time
again from multiple women. According to the emails. The student
was already training to be a French barrister and was
looking to work in the United States. The Master of
Laws is intended to prepare international students for the fundamentals
of US law practice, making them eligible for a US
bar exam. So she was over here from France trying
to get her stuff together and become a lawyer here
in America, or at the very least be able to
take the bar. And who was her benefactor, Well, none
other than Jeffrey Epstein. And again do you think he
was doing it out of the kindness of his heart?
This man was as transactional as transactional could be. Everything
had a price, especially human flesh. A few days prior
to the payment, on March fifteenth, twenty sixteen, Epstein said
that he would personally handle the one thousand dollars deposit.
In the same email, Epstein expressed frustration that the student
had not supplied him with assistants, insisting it was part
of an understanding with the student when they asked for
financial support. You know, I'm going to give you this dough,
but I'm going to need you to bring some women
into my web. Now. Of course, I'm sure that wasn't
the conversation right. I'm sure Jeffrey Epstein was more convincing
and probably pitched something different. But at the end of
the day, that's the result, and that's what he wanted,
and that's exactly how his operation functioned. It relied on
women bringing other women into the spider's web, and it
was the same strategy he used with the high school girls.
But after he got mailed the first time, Epstein decided
to flip the script a bit and start abusing girls
from outside of the country. That's the real story. That's
what he was doing. Now does that mean he wasn't
abusing people in America. Of course not. He certainly was,
but he wised up all these little girls he was
bringing in from South America, from Eastern Europe. That was
all by design, and it was designed to give him
cover and to make sure that he didn't get nailed
doing what he was doing. Now that you are a lawyer,
I would have thought you recognized it had an agreement,
had two sides, each with its own obligation, Epstein said
in the email. The former student declined to comment after
a request from The Daily Californian. See when people declined
to comment it makes it worse for them. Now. Of course,
this woman is probably somebody who was abused. Let's be honest. Okay,
Epstein doesn't do anything for free, and maybe she doesn't
want to come forward, she doesn't want to talk about
it whatever. That is certainly her prerogative and nobody should
force her to do so. But what I will say
is this, it fits the pattern right. This is exactly
the sort of shit Epstein was up to. Campus spokesperson
Janet Gilmore said UC Berkeley could not comment on individual
students due the federal privacy laws, but noted that many
students have third party sponsors that pay for tuition and
other fees across the campus academic programs, which are processed
through the standard building procedure. I don't find anything wrong
with that. If you have somebody you want to sponsor
and help get through school, cool, But you should be
doing it from a place of giving, right, not from
a place of expectation, not from a place of I'm
doing this for you, so I expect this from you.
But in Epstein's world, we all know that the abuse
was almost mandatory, and Epstein was so adept at doing
it and normalizing it that some of these women didn't
even realize they were being abused. Year's of correspondence with
Epstein from twenty fifteen to twenty seventeen detail the student's
application process, deferral, and attendance at Berkeley Law. Document showe
Epstein provided financial support in exchange for recommendation of assistance
referred to as girls. Oh, I'm sure. Emails included photos
of candidates, their names, and descriptions of a number of
girls from New York, Paris, Zurich, and mind that all
tracks exactly what Epstein was looking for. Bring somebody over here,
control their whole life, and then mold them. That's what
he wanted to do, same thing he did with Naudio
Right now. Some of these girls, these women were over age.
There's no doubt about it. Epstein wasn't only trafficking young girls.
That was what he liked. That was his proclivity. But
if he can control somebody and get them as part
of the operation, he's cool with that too. Their correspondence
began in twenty eleven, but it was not until twenty
fourteen that their emails first mentioned Berkeley Law. If your
company could invest in my education at Berkeley we can
make an agreement and I will work for one of
your companies upon my completion, the student wrote in an
email dated December twenty fourteen. Talk about walking into the
mouth of the beast. Good lord, poor woman. In January
twenty fifteen, the student asked for an official contract with
Epstein that guaranteed a commitment of twenty five thousand dollars
intuition payment from his foundation before applying to the program.
I can work for you as a lawyer with pleasure
after you know it, the student said in the January
twenty fifteen email. Honestly, though, as bad as I feel
for the student, she should have known better here. Epstein
was already a convicted sex offender. You're not going to
google your patron. You have no idea who he is. Look,
there has to be some self responsibility in life, and
you have to take ownership of the decisions you make.
And if this woman led anybody into the clutches of
Jeffrey Epstein, she should have to answer for it. Upon
acceptance into the Master of Laws program, the student deferred
their attendance for a year after a job offer from
a Swiss bank. According to emails for to Epstein, between
the student and the admissions manager at Berkeley Law. After
agreeing to make the deferral payment as requested by Berkeley Law,
Epstein assured the student they did not need to repay
him for the tuition. In twenty sixteen, a series of
emails from Belloclin, one of Epstein's former accountants, to the student,
show that Epstein made about two seven hundred dollars worth
of payments to campus residential and student service programs for
summer session housing. The student said over emails, Epstein would
pay for their schooling through his self titled foundation, the
Jeffrey Epstein Foundation, And I'm sure he just did that
because he wanted to write. Epstein expected nothing in return.
He wasn't a transactional guy. He wasn't parasitic. Their communications
in twenty seventeen points toward a more explicit expectation of
recommending assistance, with Epstein writing I'm not against helping you. However,
produced two candidates with your full recommendation, and then I
will help. So, in other words, two girls for me
to abuse, and then I'll give you some money. So
this woman, if she did that, she's part of the plot, right,
And she was obviously over eighteen, So let me take
back my statement. I just made a second ago about
poor woman. If she brought anybody to Jeffrey Epstein and
those people were abused, she should be held accountable. That's
how I feel. That's my opinion. Anybody who was over
eighteen who worked with Jeffrey Epstein should be investigated and
if there's enough there, they should be indicted. And then
if a Jerry finds them guilty, they should be convicted.
I know, crazy stuff, right. Epstein later chastised the student
after she recommended a twenty eight year old assistant. In
the email, Epstein said the student was not meeting his requirements,
to which the student applied with, Okay, no more over
twenty four. Sorry for that. You must do as you're told.
Your tendency to add your own thoughts is a huge
negative in in biz, Epstein said in an email reply.
I want it in an organized professional form. I know
your work can be better than you have led me
to believe. This is high school level. So absolutely admonishing
her for bringing him a woman who is too old.
That's what it comes down to. That's why he was mad,
this sick, degenerate bastard. After her graduation in twenty seventeen.
Epstein and the student remained in contact, continuing their communication
via email and WhatsApp. Epstein helped the student prepare for
the California Bar, and documents indicate that he funded their
preparatory course prior to taking the exam. In twenty nineteen,
the student shared via WhatsApp how the work they had
done for Epstein negatively impacted their reputation in Swiss and
vestment bank they previously worked at, and other Swiss circles.
The student described their work for Epstein as a side
gig recruiting for a businessman in New York. Okay, she
needs to be brought in, investigated whatever, a side gig
recruiting for a businessman in New York, admitting it. Huh okay,
it was the price to pay for Berkeley, I guess,
the student said in a text message. And I don't
judge or complain. Hire me as a lawyer paralegal at
some point, way better than supplying you ladies. And unfortunately, folks,
this is just one of many of these types of stories.
And when it comes to the girls with known names,
forget it. I'm guessing that there is many, many, cases
such as this and probably even more extreme, because if
you think that Jeffrey Epstein stopped at this one girl,
this one woman, you have not been paying attention. All right, folks,
that's going to do it for this one. The information
