This book is designed to function as a reference guide, not a traditional narrative.

Because the public record surrounding Jeffrey Epstein spans decades, multiple countries, and hundreds of individuals, this guide organizes information in a way that allows readers to move through it non-linearly, at their own pace, and according to their own interests. To get the most out of the material, here are a few principles and tools that will help.

Entries Are Alphabetical, Not Hierarchical

People appear in this book for many different reasons—legal, social, professional, philanthropic, or journalistic. The alphabetical structure does not distinguish between:

• significance
• involvement
• moral responsibility
• geographic connection
• timeline relevance

Alphabetical order simply provides the most neutral and accessible format for a large body of public-record material.

Each profile follows a standardized structure:

Background

Basic biographical or professional context drawn from public sources.

Public Record Context

Where and how the individual’s name appears in:
