texts: and his legions finally broke into Athens. By that time, Arcathius had died on his way to Athens. His army however was still intact and pursuing the remnants of the legions of Macedonia. Archelaus’ ally the Athenian tyrant Aristion had escaped into the Acropolis of Athens.<mask> and his Athenian allies lost control of Piraeus and Athens; they were pushed back to the peninsula of Munichia. Archelaus took the Pontic army and joined the remaining forces in Thessaly, taking command at Thermopylae. Sulla moved to Boeotia to face Archelaus. Their two armies clashed at Battle of Chaeronea in 86 BC, where Archelaus was completely defeated. Archelaus escaped to Chalcis where he received 80,000 reinforcements from Mithridates VI. As Sulla lacked a Roman fleet, Archelaus carried out raids around the Greek coast, even destroying some of Sulla’s transports carrying the advance guard of Sulla’s replacement. Eventually Sulla faced <mask> at Orchomenus in 86/85 BC.After a two-day battle, Archelaus was decisively defeated by the Romans. After the defeat, he was forced to hide two days in the swamps of Lake Copais, before once again managing to escape to Chalcis. When Mithridates VI heard the news of the disastrous defeats, he ordered Archelaus to make peace with Sulla. On the conclusion of the peace conference between Mithridates VI and Sulla in late 86 BC, Archelaus suggested that Sulla recognise the

Sulla, who was adept at such negotiations, responded to Archelaus by inviting him to surrender his fleet and become an ally of Rome. The final terms of Sulla were that Mithridates VI should surrender part of the Pontic fleet and all conquered territory in Asia and pay an indemnity of 2,000 talents, in return for becoming a friend and ally of Rome. Archelaus remained with Sulla while these terms were sent to Mithridates VI.Archelaus was beginning to worry about his reputation in Pontus as he was getting closer to Sulla and accompanied him on a campaign against the Thracians. Archelaus received from Sulla large estates in Greece, including 6,600 acres of land in Boeotia, and was referred to as a friend and ally of the Roman people. At some point he visited Rome, where he was honored by the Roman Senate. His Pontic fleet withdrew and left Greece. Archelaus was able to persuade Mithridates VI to meet Sulla. Mithridates VI met Sulla and agreed to the Sulla's terms, except for the surrender of his fleet and evacuation of Paphlagonia. Sometime afterwards, Archelaus fell out of favor with Mithridates VI, who believed that Archelaus had made too many concessions to Sulla.Archelaus assisted the Romans in the Second Mithridatic War and Lucius Licinius Lucullus in the Third Mithridatic War.

<mask> (3 October 1801 – 13 November 1861) was an English colonial administrator and railway company secretary. Early life
Souper was born in Middlesex, England. He was baptised in 1802 in London and presented to the church in 1803 in Saint Helier, Jersey, the son of William Henry Souper and Amelia Ann; his mother was the daughter of <mask>. His father was a British Army officer, in the 1st Regiment of Foot. He exchanged in 1797 into a regiment raised to serve in the West Indies. It was led by William Myers, had incorporated the St Vincent Rangers, and was known as "Myers' Regiment of Foot". He was paymaster of the Chasseurs Britanniques at the time the family was in Jersey.In 1813, Souper's father was transferred to become a paymaster at Lymington, Dorset. In a noted case, he was convicted of a murder in Lymington in 1814, after a duel in which he killed another officer. The judge, Sir Henry Dampier, recommended mercy. It was then reported that Henry William and Amelia Ann Souper had a family of six sons and a daughter. In 1817, Souper became a lieutenant in the York Chasseurs, which he had joined as an ensign in May 1815. This formation took part in the Invasion of Guadeloupe. He was placed on half pay in 1817, and became paymaster of the recruiting district at Harwich, for foreign troops.Trinidad
<mask> Souper became Colonial Secretary of Trinidad under Ralph Woodford, Governor from 1813. Woodford used very young officials for administrative work, and kept them on a short leash. It was noted that an attempt to bribe Souper was rejected. An 1834, report on the drive to reduce sinecures shows Souper taking on the dual roles of Secretary and Clerk of the Council. There were in fact three defined official roles, Secretary, Clerk and Register (or court

 intendant, often called escribando, a term inherited from the Spanish colonial time in Trinidad). In 1810, James Chapman, who held officially the three posts, had been listed as a sinecure holder using deputies for the functions. Therefore Souper, who held each of these posts at some times, was for most of his career doing so as a deputy.He was absent from his post as Governor's Secretary in 1824 for reasons of bad health. The "acting escribando" in July of that year was George F. Souper. George Frederick <mask> of Trinidad became a barrister of the Inner Temple, being called to the bar in 1833. An anonymous pamphlet by "A Free Mulatto" of 1824 accused Souper of acting in a bigoted way towards a man of colour who had served in the militia, around 1820. It records alleged slurs (including the denial of the title Mr. on a passport, and on the competence of the previous Secretary Peter Gellineau). The author was Jean-Baptiste <mask>, of French-speaking "free coloured" background and a doctor, and the pamphlet An Address to the Right Hon. Earl Bathurst, published in London, dealt with grievances specific to the "coloured population of Trinidad", understood free.In particular it dismissed an argument against setting a precedent for the recognition of people of colour, in relation to a "Dr. <mask>" requesting a position from Woodward as military surgeon. He stated that Gellineau was moved to make room for Souper, but held posts including that of
escribando. He argued that the precedent had thereby already been set. A related complaint about the Council, in which Souper as Clerk was named, was that of George Pilkington, civil engineer on Trinidad and future abolitionist campaigner, from 1830. In autobiographical work he alleged that the Council had acted

 wrongly against him on a financial matter, after he had promoted a person of colour to officer rank in the militia cavalry. In 1829, Souper acted as executor for his uncle, <mask> (the younger), who was on Trinidad. He took part in the 1830 public meeting hosted by Robert Neilson that appointed Joseph Marryat to represent West Indian planter interests.Under the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, Souper received compensation, for one enslaved person in Trinidad. In 1836, he was still acting as Clerk to the Council of Trinidad, but was seeking a post in New South Wales. Company Secretary
In July 1836, Souper was corresponding from John Street, The Adelphi in London, as Secretary to the South Western Railway Company. In 1837 the company reportedly reached an informal agreement with the London, Falmouth and Exeter Railway Company, a rival in the south-west of England, not to obstruct parliamentary bills. It followed a deputation from the London, Falmouth and Exeter  meeting Souper. In 1839, Souper was serving as Secretary to the Eastern Coast of Central America Commercial and Agricultural Company. He had been brought in from South Western Railway Company, resigning his post there, at the same time as Peter Harriss Abbott who had been on the board of the South Western Railway Company, and Peter Pollock QC who had been the company's counsel, both of whom went onto the board.He was replaced as Company Secretary, however, in 1840, by James A. Winsor. Souper was Secretary to the Irish North Midland Railway in 1845. This was a proposed railway, which went out of business in August 1847, repaying investors 12 shillings in the pound. According to Alumni Cantabrigienses, Souper also worked as a surgeon. Last years
In 1848, Souper was appointed Registrar of the Court of

 First Instance on Mauritius. He was Registrar of the Supreme Court there, from 1852. In 1857 he was appointed collector of internal revenue on Mauritius.This position gave a seat on the Mauritius Council, ex officio, as well as position as vendue master. Souper died at age 60, on 13 November 1861, in Queen's Terrace, Southampton, four days after disembarking from the SS Euxine; or the following day, at 3, Upper Phillimore-place, Kensington, London. Family

During his time in Trinidad, Souper married Oriana Jane Reinagle (1804–1890), daughter of Ramsay Richard Reinagle, in 1827. This was a marriage of first cousins. <mask> and Oriana had a large family:

texts: <mask> is an American novelist. Her book Storming Heaven was a Discovery Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and received the 1987 W. D. Weatherford Award for the best published work about the Appalachian South. The Unquiet Earth received an American Book Award and the Lillian Smith Book Award for fiction. Her 1998 novel Saints and Villains was awarded the Boston Book Review fiction prize and was semifinalist for the International Dublin Literary Award. <mask> is an ordained Episcopal Church deacon, a community activist, and a former candidate for governor of West Virginia. <mask> was born October 25, 1951 in Bluefield, West Virginia, and grew up in the small coal mining camp of Black Wolf, located in rural McDowell County, West Virginia, and later in Kanawha County, where she graduated from high school. Like the rest of the community, her family's survival was dependent upon the prosperity of the mine.<mask>'s grandfather and uncles worked underground and her father kept the books for Page Coal and Coke. Her mother was a nurse. When the mine closed, her family moved to the state capital of Charleston. As a member of a coal-mining family, and growing up with a 1960s social consciousness, Giardina often found herself in political conflict with the people and culture around her. Giardina received a BA in history from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1973. She pursued graduate work at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and was preparing to go to law school. At this point, however, Giardina found a new spiritual home in the Episcopal church, which she found to be more broad-minded than the fundamentalist Methodism of her childhood.Her pastor, Jim Lewis, provided reading suggestions that helped steer Giardina from law school to seminary: "I thought I was called to be ordained. I realized later I went because I needed that education for writing. [My books] are actually more theological than political." She received a Masters of Divinity from the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia in 1979, was ordained as an Episcopal deacon, and returned to lead a church in the area of

 West Virginia where she grew up. However, she soon found herself in a conflict with superiors in the church due to her criticism of the coal companies, and left within a year. She moved to Washington, DC, where she joined a peace campaign and lived communally with some radical Christians in an inner city outpost. This is when she began writing her first novel, Good King Harry.She later moved back to rural West Virginia for a while, then took a job as a congressional aide in Charleston. The novel eventually sold to Harper and Row, and was published in 1984. As a political activist <mask> participated in and wrote about Appalachian labor-capital conflicts, including the A. T. Massey coal strike of the mid-1980s, and the Pittston coal strike of 1989-1990. In the following years she was vocal in her critique of surface mining and other environmental issues, particularly mountaintop removal coal mining. These issues informed her unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2000. <mask> credits her mother and  her upbringing in a conservative fundamentalist church for shaping her political sensibilities. Though she sought a more liberal religious setting later, her early church experience inculcated Giardina with basic values of charity and fairness that reinforced her mother's lessons on justice and tolerance.Her mother herself was not a fundamentalist, though many other family members and most of the surrounding community were, including <mask>'s only brother. In 2004 <mask> was the Writer-In-Residence at Hollins University and taught a course in Virginia and West Virginia fiction. <mask> lives in Charleston and taught at West Virginia State University until 2015. In 2007 she was reinstated as an ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church. Her papers, including notebooks, artifacts, correspondence, manuscripts, and family photos are held in the Archives & Manuscripts at West Virginia University's West Virginia & Regional History Center.

 nominee of the new party in the 2000 general election.She received 10,416 votes, 1.61% of the vote, coming in third behind Democrat Bob Wise and Republican incumbent Cecil H. Underwood. Her platform included many of the environmental and miners' rights issues she worked on as an activist. Giardina says that though her writing focused her emerging political views, it took the controversy over mountain top removal mining to move her to political action. According to Still journal, her "anti-mountaintop removal platform she became a folk hero and is often looked to as one of the primary commentators on the state of contemporary Appalachia". Writing career
In all of her books, Giardina is interested in the complexities and ambiguities of the individual destined to answer the call of his or her particular moment. Though largely recognized as an Appalachian writer, she has been defined, and defines herself, as primarily a theological writer. Giardina became interested in the Appallachian tradition of storytelling at an early age, and this oral literary heritage of the mountains informed much of her later work.Good King Harry
<mask> began working on her first novel, Good King Harry, while living in Washington DC. She completed the book, told in the first-person voice of King Henry V, after returning to West Virginia. Unable to sell it, she took a class with visiting novelist George Garrett, who helped with revisions and also recommended Giardina to agent Jane Gelfman, who sold the novel to Aaron Asher at Harper & Row. Harry was published in 1984. Despite positive reviews, the novel sold poorly. <mask> also wrote guest columns for The Charleston Gazette and submitted pieces to The Washington Post. Coalfield novels
Her next novel, Storming Heaven, was published in 1987.In her previous work Giardina feared being pigeonholed as a "regional" writer, but this time she returned to her roots, setting the novel in the coalfields along the West Virginia–Kentucky border during the West Virginia Mine Wars. It covers the period 1890–1921, when coal miners fought to be unionized. The climax of the novel is based upon the

texts: historical 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain, when in 1921 U.S. Army troops marched on a small group of resisting miners working to create a fledgling union. The mining camp Giardina spent her childhood in was less than 100 miles from Blair Mountain and served as the model for the town of Winco in the novel. <mask>'s 1992 novel, The Unquiet Earth, also explores life in the coalfields of West Virginia from the 1930s into the 1980s. Both novels follow characters either fighting or accommodating King Cole, are written from the first-person perspective of several narrators, in regional dialect, enabling readers to clearly understand the characters' views of the United Mine Workers of America and the hope that they invest in the union. Some of the characters in The Unquiet Earth are descendants of those in Storming Heaven, and one, Jackie, is an alter-ego of Giardina herself.Giardina incorporates a diversity of portraits, not only of coal miners, but also of coal operators, politicians (local and national), and VISTA workers into the two stories. The novel also chronicles the continual lack of concern for human life by the coal mine operators. This includes such important issues as Coalworker's pneumoconiosis and culminates in a catastrophic flood at the novel's end, the author's fictionalization of the 1972 Buffalo Creek Disaster. Giardina also captures such aspects of life in Appalachia as religion and racism. The decision to use dialect was a costly one for Giardina, resulting in her scrapping nearly 500 pages of the original 3rd-person manuscript of Storming Heaven. But she had come to the realization that "the people had to tell their own stories". This novel also had trouble finding a publisher, but it did put Giardina on the "critical map" as it was very well-received.Both coal-country novels were inspired in part by Wuthering Heights, with its rugged landscape and tales of women "who have this passion for a difficult man." Both books contain union organizers more committed to their cause than their lovers. Bonhoeffer, her next main character in Saints and Villains, also fits that pattern: "I guess in

She moved to Durham, North Carolina while still working on the novel, got a bookstore job, and studied with novelist Laurel Goldman at Duke University. The class helped Giardina recognize the value of what she had been doing intuitively and gave her the confidence to teach writing. Saints and Villains
Another parallel between her characters and herself was the idea of needing to leave home in order to gain perspective on it.having spent some time away while writing about West Virginia, <mask> moved back to Charleston, and took a job teaching at West Virginia State University. Both feeling more at home and experiencing more financial security, she began to work on her next novel, 1999's Saints and Villains. The book is a fictionalized retelling of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor who opposed fascism, became involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler and was hanged by the Nazis for his theological principles. The novel dwells upon moral decisions, most notably the acceptability of sin if the sin will prevent a greater evil. <mask> immersed herself in Bonhoeffer's life, attracted to the story because of the ambiguities of the situation. Grappling with the moral and theological struggles in the book also brought Giardina back to her church, in a journey to "live in God" that culminated with her being re-ordained in 2007. The novel is her first narrated in the third-person.In a mirror image of her experience with Storming Heaven, she began it in the first-person, and junked the first 50 pages in order to start over. She also decided to shift from past to present tense for the book's final scenes, adding suspense to the question of whether the imprisoned Bonhoeffer would be freed by the advancing Allies. The title comes from a quote from Bonhoeffer: "Today there are once more saints and villains". She

 used lines from Mozart's Mass in C Minor to frame Bonhoeffer's saga and Germany's slide into Nazism and war, and the music's liner notes helped her build the character of SS officer Alois Bauer, a music lover who is a composite of Bonhoeffer's real interrogators. Some of the novels characters are real historical figures, others invented by Giardina. Some dates and events were moved around for the story's purposes. Saints and Villains was awarded the Boston Book Review fiction prize and was semifinalist for the International Dublin Literary Award.Later work
In Fallam's Secret, published in 2003, Giardina explores Appalachian magical realism within a time-travel murder-mystery. In 2009, Giardina published Emily's Ghost, a fictionalized biography of poet and novelist Emily Bronte. Both novels received warm, though not rave reviews. However, the fact that major national reviewer attended to her work was an achievement her previous, only-later more appreciated work, failed to accomplish. In 2015, Giardina announced she was working on a memoir and a new novel, and noted that she had begun writing plays, though none had yet achieved production. Her Appalachian novels have been taught in university courses. Awards and recognition

In March 2020, George Fox University professor William Jolliff's book Heeding the Call: A Study of <mask>'s Novels was published by West Virginia University Press. In the book, Jolliff dedicates a chapter to each of the writer and activist's novels, examining them from three perspectives: Regional, political, and theological. He analyzes her use of history and writing technique, as well as delving into the themes of significance in each of her works. He concludes that though her writing is largely informed by her own religious beliefs, Giardina never provides theological answers to the issues raised in her very political fiction; rather, she pushes both characters and readers to confront and wrangle with ever more complex and challenging moral and philosophical questions.

texts: <mask> ( ; January 20, 1953August 10, 2019) was an American financier and convicted sex offender. <mask>, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, began his professional life by teaching at the Dalton School in Manhattan, despite lacking a college degree. After his dismissal from the school, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in various roles; he eventually started his own firm. <mask> developed an elite social circle and procured many women and children; he and some of his associates then sexually abused them. In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating <mask> after a parent complained that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. <mask> pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He served almost 13months in custody, but with extensive work release.He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal; federal officials had identified 36girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom <mask> had allegedly sexually abused. <mask> was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled the death a suicide. <mask>'s lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories. Since <mask>'s death precluded the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on August 29, 2019.

 Maxwell, leading to her 2021 conviction on U.S. federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution.Epstein also maintained long-term relationships with various high-profile individuals, including Donald Trump, Leslie Wexner, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Early life

<mask> was born in 1953 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. His parents Pauline (née Stolofsky, 1918–2004) and Seymour G<mask> (1916–1991) were Jewish and had married in 1952 shortly before his birth. Pauline worked as a school aide and was a homemaker. <mask> worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation as a groundskeeper and gardener. <mask> was the oldest of two siblings; he and his brother Mark grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Sea Gate, a private gated community in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Epstein attended local public schools, first attending Public School 188, and then Mark Twain Junior High School nearby.In 1967, <mask> attended the National Music Camp at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. He began playing the piano when he was five. He graduated in 1969 from Lafayette High School at age 16, having skipped two grades. Later that year, he attended classes at Cooper Union until he changed colleges in 1971. From September 1971, he attended the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, but left without receiving a degree in June 1974. Career

Teaching

 1974, was known to have made several unconventional recruitments at the time, although it is unclear whether he had a direct role in hiring <mask>.Three months after Barr's departure, <mask> began to teach at the school, despite his lack of credentials. <mask> allegedly showed inappropriate behavior toward underage students at the time. He became acquainted with Alan Greenberg, the chief executive officer of Bear Stearns, whose son and daughter were attending the school. Greenberg's daughter, Lynne Koeppel, pointed to a parent-teacher conference where <mask> influenced another Dalton parent into advocating for him to Greenberg. In June 1976, after <mask> was dismissed from Dalton for "poor performance", Greenberg offered him a job at Bear Stearns. Banking
<mask> joined Bear Stearns in 1976 as a low-level junior assistant to a floor trader. He swiftly moved up to become an options trader, working in the special products division, and then advised the bank's wealthiest clients, such as Seagram president Edgar Bronfman, on tax mitigation strategies.Jimmy Cayne, the bank's later chief executive officer, praised <mask>'s skill with wealthy clients and complex products. In 1980, four years after joining Bear Stearns, <mask> became a limited partner. In 1981, he was asked to leave Bear Stearns for, according to his sworn testimony, being guilty of a "Reg D violation". Even though <mask> departed abruptly, he remained close to Cayne and Greenberg and was a client of Bear Stearns until its collapse in 2008. Financial consulting

In August 1981, <mask> founded his own consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. (IAG), which assisted clients in recovering stolen money from fraudulent brokers and

 lawyers. <mask> described his work at this time as being a high-level bounty hunter. He told friends that he worked sometimes as a consultant for governments and the very wealthy to recover embezzled funds, while at other times he worked for clients who had embezzled funds.Spanish actress and heiress Ana Obregón was one such wealthy client, whom <mask> helped in 1982 to recover her father's millions in lost investments, which had disappeared when Drysdale Government Securities collapsed because of fraud. <mask> also stated to some people at the time that he was an intelligence agent. During the 1980s, <mask> possessed an Austrian passport that had his photo, but with a false name. The passport showed his place of residence in Saudi Arabia. In 2017 "a former senior White House official" reported that Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida who had handled <mask>'s criminal case in 2008, had stated to Trump transition interviewers, that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to 'leave it alone", and that <mask> was "above his pay grade". During this period, one of <mask>'s clients was the Saudi Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran, as part of the Iran–Contra affair in the 1980s. Khashoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew.In the mid-1980s, <mask> traveled multiple times between the United States, Europe, and Southwest Asia. While in London, <mask> met Steven Hoffenberg. They had been introduced through Douglas Leese, a defense contractor, and John Mitchell, the former U.S. Attorney General. Towers Financial Corporation
Steven Hoffenberg hired <mask> in 1987, as a

 consultant for Towers Financial Corporation (unaffiliated with the company of the same name founded in 1998, and acquired by Old National Bancorp in 2014), a collection agency that bought debts people owed to hospitals, banks, and phone companies. Hoffenberg set <mask> up in offices in the "Villard Houses" in Manhattan and paid him  per month for his consulting work (). Hoffenberg and <mask> then refashioned themselves as corporate raiders using Towers Financial as their raiding vessel. One of <mask>'s first assignments for Hoffenberg was to implement what turned out to be an unsuccessful bid to take over Pan American World Airways in 1987.A similar unsuccessful bid in 1988 was made to take over Emery Air Freight Corp. During this period, Hoffenberg and <mask> worked closely together and traveled everywhere on Hoffenberg's private jet. In 1993, Towers Financial Corporation imploded when it was revealed as being one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in American history, losing its investors over  (). In court documents, Hoffenberg claimed that <mask> was intimately involved in the scheme. <mask> left the company by 1989 and was never charged for being involved with the massive investor fraud committed. It is unknown if <mask> acquired any stolen funds from the Towers Ponzi scheme. Financial management firm

In 1988, while <mask> was still consulting for Hoffenberg, he founded his own financial management firm, J. Epstein & Company. The company was said by <mask> to have been formed to manage the assets of clients with more than  in net worth, although others have expressed skepticism that he was restrictive of the clients that he took.The only publicly known billionaire client of <mask> was Leslie Wexner,

 chairman and CEO of L Brands (formerly The Limited, Inc.) and Victoria's Secret. In 1986, <mask> met Wexner through their mutual acquaintances, insurance executive Robert Meister and his wife, in Palm Beach, Florida. A year later, <mask> became Wexner's financial adviser and served as his right-hand man. Within the year, <mask> had sorted out Wexner's entangled finances. In July 1991, Wexner granted <mask> full power of attorney over his affairs. The power of attorney allowed <mask> to hire people, sign checks, buy and sell properties, borrow money, and do anything else of a legally binding nature on Wexner's behalf. By 1995, <mask> was a director of the Wexner Foundation and Wexner Heritage Foundation.He was also the president of Wexner's Property, which developed part of the town of New Albany outside Columbus, Ohio, where Wexner lived. <mask> made millions in fees by managing Wexner's financial affairs. Although never employed by L Brands, he corresponded frequently with the company executives. <mask> often attended Victoria's Secret fashion shows, and hosted the models at his New York City home, as well as helping aspiring models get work with the company. In 1996, <mask> changed the name of his firm to the Financial Trust Company and, for tax advantages, based it on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. By relocating to the U.S. Virgin Islands, <mask> was able to reduce federal income taxes by 90 percent. The U.S. Virgin Islands acted as an offshore tax haven, while at the same time offering the advantages of being part of the United States banking system.Media activities

Roshan, as its editor-in-chief, retained a small ownership stake. It folded after three issues as a print publication and became exclusively an online one.Liquid Funding Ltd.

<mask> was the president of the company Liquid Funding Ltd. between 2000 and 2007. The company was an early pioneer in expanding the kind of debt that could be accepted on repurchase, or the repo market, which involves a lender giving money to a borrower in exchange for securities that the borrower then agrees to buy back at an agreed-upon later time and price. The innovation of Liquid Funding, and other early companies, was that instead of having stocks and bonds as the underlying securities, it had commercial mortgages and investment-grade residential mortgages bundled into complex securities as the underlying security. Liquid Funding was initially 40percent owned by Bear Stearns. Through the help of the credit rating agencies – Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service – the new bundled securities were able to be created for companies so that they got a gold-plated AAA rating. The implosion of such complex securities, because of their inaccurate ratings, led to the collapse of Bear Stearns in March 2008 and set in motion the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the subsequent Great Recession.

Hedge funds
Between 2002 and 2005, <mask> invested $80million in the D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities hedge fund. In November 2006, <mask>, while under federal investigation for sex crimes, attempted to redeem his investment after he was informed of accounting irregularities in the fund. By this time, his investment had grown to $140million. Zwirn refused to redeem the investment. Zwirn worried that <mask>'s redemption could cause a "run on the bank" at the hedge fund. It is unknown how much <mask> personally lost when the fund was wound down in 2008.In August 2006, <mask>, a month after the federal investigation of him began, invested $57million in the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage hedge fund. This fund was highly leveraged in mortgage-backed collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). On April 18, 2007, an investor in the fund, who had $57million invested, discussed redeeming his investment. At this time, the fund had a leverage ratio of 17:1, which meant for every dollar invested there were seventeen dollars of borrowed funds; therefore, the redemption of this investment would have been equivalent to removing $1billion from the thinly traded CDO market. The selling of CDO assets to meet the redemptions that month began a repricing process and general freeze in the CDO market. The repricing of the CDO assets caused the collapse of the fund three months later in July, and the eventual collapse of Bear Stearns in March 2008. It is likely <mask> lost most of this investment, but it is not known how much was his.By the time that the Bear Stearns

 fund began to fail in May 2007, <mask> had begun to negotiate a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney's Office concerning imminent charges for sex with minors. In August 2007, a month after the fund collapsed, the U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, entered into direct discussions about the plea agreement. Acosta brokered a lenient deal, according to him, because he had been ordered by higher government officials, who told him that <mask> was an individual of importance to the government. As part of the negotiations, according to the Miami Herald, <mask> provided "unspecified information" to the Florida federal prosecutors for a more lenient sentence and was supposedly an unnamed key witness for the New York federal prosecutors in their unsuccessful June 2008 criminal case against the two managers of the failed Bear Stearns hedge fund. Alan Dershowitz, one of <mask>'s Florida attorneys on the case, told Fox Business Network "We would have been touting that if he had [cooperated]. The idea that <mask> helped in any prosecution is news to me." Israeli startup
In 2015, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that <mask> invested in the startup Reporty Homeland Security (rebranded as Carbyne in 2018).The startup is connected with Israel's defense industry. It is headed by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who was also at one time the defense minister, and chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The CEO of the company is Amir Elihai who was a special forces officer, and Pinchas Bukhris, who is a director of the company, was at one time the defense ministry director general and commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200. <mask> and Barak, the head of Carbyne, were close, and <mask> often

In April 2008, he went to Israel and met with a number of research scientists and visited different Israeli military bases. During this trip, he thought about staying in Israel in order to avoid trial, and possible jail, for charges he was facing for sex crimes; however, he opted to return to the United States.Video recordings
<mask> installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his properties to allegedly record sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes such as blackmail. Ghislaine Maxwell, <mask>'s close companion, told a friend that <mask>'s private island in the Virgin Islands was completely wired for video and the friend believed that Maxwell and <mask> were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy. When police raided his Palm Beach residence in 2006, two hidden pinhole cameras were discovered in his home. It was also reported that <mask>'s mansion in New York was wired extensively with a video surveillance system. Maria Farmer, an artist who worked for <mask> in 1996, noted that Epstein showed her a media room in the New York mansion where there were individuals monitoring the pinhole cameras throughout the house. The media room was accessed through a hidden door. She stated that in the media room "there were men sitting here.And I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, bed, bed, toilet, bed." She added that "It was very obvious that they were, like, monitoring private moments." <mask> allegedly "lent" girls to powerful people to ingratiate himself with them and also to

According to the Department of Justice, he kept compact discs locked in his safe in his New York mansion with handwritten labels that included the description: "young [name] + [name]". <mask> implied that he had blackmail material when he told a New York Times reporter in 2018, off the record, that he had dirt on powerful people, including information about their sexual proclivities and recreational drug use. Legal proceedings

First criminal case

Initial developments (2005–2006)

In March 2005, a woman contacted Florida's Palm Beach Police Department and alleged that her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been taken to <mask>'s mansion by an older girl. While there, she was allegedly paid $300 () to strip and massage <mask>.She had allegedly undressed, but left the encounter wearing her underwear. Palm Beach Police began a 13-month undercover investigation of <mask>, including a search of his home. During the investigation, Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter publicly accused the Palm Beach County state prosecutor, Barry Krischer, of being too lenient and called for help from the FBI.
