Ghislaine Maxwell: The “Number Two” in Nero’s Penniless Palace?
On Tuesday, a former pilot who flew Jeffrey Epstein’s personal jet (yes, that mythical private plane that vanished in a fog of scandals) dropped the most hilarious class clown in the courtroom. “Ms. Maxwell was number two,” he said. Jeffrey was the big boss, and Ghislaine was the right‑hand guy bringing the occasional lemonade.
What the pilot said
- He was hired in the ’90s to juggle everything that was not business – from managing Epstein’s properties to making sure the old billionaire didn’t spill his coffee all over the boardroom.
- Epstein told him, “Ghislaine’s my go‑to for all the personal stuff.” The same way you tell your cousin that “you’ve got to hand me your whisper napkins.”
- Top‑secret: The pilot said the pair were “a couple” in the 1990s, but the early 2000s turned it into a purely corporate affair.
The notorious Netflix‑style reality—“Dr. Dolittle” meets prim‑time drama
Maxwell, 59, has fought an eight‑count angle (sex trafficking, perjury, etc.). She could face up to 80 years unless she’s playing catch‑up with her legal wizards and mustering a slick defense. She’s being accused of “co‑conspiring” and “recruiting” four underage girls for a scandal that had even the girls in a different plane’s hospitality program: a prank played call‑out‑the‑spores of “ruse.”
Who’s in the booth?
- Ford‑wise flier Lawrence Visoski for the government.
- Attorney Christian Everdell, Detective‑Peter‑Pan style, who gently pressed a cease‑and‑desist, “Did you capture every passenger’s first and last names?”
Flight logs: A veritable who‑is‑who of Power‑Boys
The pilot recounted how Jeffrey Epstein moved junk in his aeronautical (aka “dirt”) ship. Guests that would out‑match this story litiously include:
- Princes and presidents: Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump (but, oh boy, none are trumped in that particular courtroom). All flew on that infamous jet—no surprise there.
- Jane (comma‑pseudonym), a “female singer” who might have steered her rightful route into the classic paper‑trail drama, was identified merely with a faked 14‑yo year, there’s no doubt the 13 knocks against that storyline as “she’d turned into a mature woman.”
Adding a little dramatic flair, the judge’s robes went to drift (forget the expression “the court’s orderly”), while the evidence left the stage with a sigh and a preview of a royal musical that was… too late. The audience held the breath. The presence of a midnight kind-of-Elizabethan man is now not including the following ex‑Exime‑Immune: The pilot sometimes gave people tours of his plane when it was on the ground, and “I’m not even sure if Jane flew on the plane.”
Trial-founded drama
The allegations are dramatic. There is a tie between the aristocracy. It’s drama out of time. The show awaits the judgment, but: Jeffrey’s flight therapy is not only a personal experience, but a big business hustle plan.
