Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Maritza Vasquez—Background and Connection to Jean Luc Brunel

• Vasquez’s role: Started as an external auditor in 1998, then became the bookkeeper for Karen Models in Miami (Brunel’s agency), remaining through its transition to MC2 in 2003.
  • (01:49) "I was hired to work with Karen’s. Yeah. When was that? In 1998. What was your position? Bookkeeper in Miami."
• First meetings: She met Jean Luc Brunel first (1998), then Epstein once at an MC2 opening party in New York (2003-2004).

2. Epstein’s Financial Involvement with MC2

• Financial backing: Vasquez directly witnessed Epstein providing financial assistance to Brunel's modeling company, specifically through a $1 million line of credit backed by Epstein himself.
  • (09:16-10:23)
    • “I was the one who took the papers to Mellon Bank... Mr. Epstein didn’t want to sign the papers, but Mellon bank didn’t want to accept the line of credit if he didn’t sign... He actually signed the documents as grantor of the line of credit.”
• Brunel’s rent arrangements: Epstein housed Brunel in his Manhattan apartments, which were also used to accommodate young models.
• Fraud and falsified profits: Vasquez claims Brunel falsified financial statements to convince Epstein to invest, with Brunel’s companies typically operating at a loss.
  • (32:50-33:01)
    • “Jean Luc presented false statements to him... the company was always in the red… you know that they were falsified?”
    • Vasquez: “Yes.”

3. Apartments and Housing for Models

• Multiple apartments: Epstein owned or controlled several apartments at 301 E. 66th St, where models (some underage) were housed.
  • (08:19-09:00)
    • “There are a lot of apartments there... I believe there were like two or three apartments and they were putting between four girls per apartment, I believe.”
• Financial exploitation: Although Epstein didn’t charge Brunel rent, Brunel charged the girls, collecting about $1,000/month from each.
  • “Jeffrey Epstein never charged Jean Luc Brunel for rent, but Jean Luc was charging rent to the girls.”

4. Immigration and Visa Fraud

• Manipulated visa processes: Vasquez revealed systemic abuse of immigration laws, with many girls brought in as tourists and then made to work illegally; only later did Brunel start formalizing visa applications due to pressure from Epstein.
  • (29:39-30:50)
    • “Many girls were coming here without a visa, without a working visa... they were collecting 30% from their income when they were not even legal.”
• Attorneys & complicity: Vasquez describes the involvement of several lawyers (notably Louis Font in Miami and others in New York) in arranging visas.
• Specific case—Nadia Marcinkova: Epstein personally funded her visa, and she was brought in very young (believed to be 14).

5. Underage Models, Sexual Abuse, and Parties

• Transporting underage girls: Vasquez arranged or witnessed arrangements of limousines/cars to bring young models (some as young as 13-15) to Epstein’s house, though she did not personally drive them.
  • (16:30-16:54) “...Molina was like 14 or 15, and Juliana was like 13 or 14 when she came.”
• Direct knowledge of Brunel’s desires:
  • Notable quote:
    • (17:09)
    • Vasquez: “One day he [Brunel] told me that he wishes he can sleep with one of the girls that was underage. And I told him that she’s a minor...”
• Drug use: Brunel was known by staff to be a habitual cocaine user, with other associates (Jeff Fuller) also implicated as addicts.
• Epstein’s predilections: Vasquez cites regular office chatter confirming Epstein’s sexual interest in very young girls, though admits never witnessing direct abuse herself.
  • “...conversations of Jean Luc saying that, you know, Jeffrey liked underage girls... never directly, but you know, his conversations were like that.”
• Parties at Little Saint James (Epstein’s island): Vasquez relays that Brunel attended at least one New Year’s party there, but didn’t know the identities of other guests or details.

6. Criminality, Fallout, and Internal Dynamics

• Financial crime admissions: Vasquez references a personal legal case (probation for 20 years related to embezzlement at MC2), allegedly with instruction from her attorney to plead out.
• Money laundering and offshore transfers: Transfers to the Virgin Islands were orchestrated on Epstein's suggestion, helping obscure the true profits and evade US taxes.
  • “Jean Luc opened an account there because Jeffrey told him that it was better to open an account there. So there was money... never came to be reported here.”
• Culture of cover-up: The company relied on falsified documents, and routinely sidestepped oversight and reporting requirements.

The extensive details in Vasquez’s deposition serve as evidence of systemic abuse, document fraud, visa violations, and patterns of moving money to avoid detection—all concealed behind a thin veneer of business legitimacy.

Capucci maintains a matter-of-fact but urgent tone throughout, highlighting the importance of bringing these details to light and connecting them to the broader web of Epstein’s criminal enterprise.

Nothing. At that time I didn't know anything. So did you meet with Jean Luc Brunel in his office in 1998 from Vasquez? Because there was a gentleman from Switzerland who wanted to make business with them. And I was hired by that gentleman to look through all the accounts to make sure that, you know, they were kind of bankruptcy. But we wanted to know that his money, his investment would be good. So that's why I went like an external audit to see what was the income, the expenses, and something like that. Who's the guy from Switzerland?

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

I'm not going to tell you his name. Is that somebody who is still in touch with Jean Luc Brunel?

And they say Elaine Maxwell here, not Ghislaine, by the way. Question and what's your understanding or what was your understanding that Jeffrey in terms of Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with MC Squared Vasquez. Jean Luc always said that Jeffrey was his friend, that he is a millionaire and that Jeffrey was giving him money to, you know, loans or whatever and the apartments for the girls and things like that. Question. All right, let's break that down. Giving money for what purpose? For furthering MC Squared Vasquez For. Yeah, for the money that came to MC Squared. Not to. I don't know. Prior to 2003, I don't know if Jeffrey Epstein ever gave him money. I know that from the longest Jean Luc was living in an apartment that. That belongs to Jeffrey Epstein. What apartment is that? It's in New York. I don't know the address. Is that at 301 E. 66th St, Vasquez? Yeah, something like that. I think that's the one. Question and it's my understanding that Jeffrey Epstein owns or controls numerous apartments in that building at that same address. Is that right?

[B]

By Vasquez? Yes.

[A]

Question and have you ever been to that address, Vasquez? No. Answer and how do you know that he owns or controls numerous apartments at that address? Answer. Because at the time, Evelyn Valenzuela was the office manager of the New and she was dealing personally with the assistant of Jeffrey Epstein and she had to do the payments for the cable and I believe electricity. Question and Evelyn, who was the assistant of Jeffrey Epstein that Evelyn was dealing with? Answer I don't know. Question. Cecilia Stone? I believe so. Question do you remember that name?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Question that's somebody who no longer lives here, right? Answer I. I believe I heard that, yeah. Question who did you hear that from? Answer From Vasquez, From Evelyn, from Conetta. Question. Okay. And at some point in time you came to know that the models who were staying at these apartments at 301 East 66th street, right? I don't know specifically they stay at Jean Luc's apartment, but I know that the models were staying in different apartments that belong to Jeffrey Epstein. Question and what are the names of the models that were staying there? Do you remember? Answer Most of them, you know, at that time when I was there. Who? All these little girls. Mohini. Question, how do you spell that? Answer. M O, H, I, N, I. You know, that was in 2000 something. I don't recall all the names, but there is a list that you can get from the office in New York that might be a list we're interested in. Huh? Everybody wants to talk about lists. How about this list? A list. They have a list of models that were staying in these apartments. If I were to request it from the office in New York, what would I ask for by Vasquez for the Models apartment list? Chargeback for Models Apartments. Chargeback. Yeah, Because Jeffrey Epstein never charged Jean Luc Brunel for rent, but Jean Luc was charging rent to the girls. And in her statement it shows 30166, apartment A or apartment B. And he was charging them like a thousand dollars a month. Question. How do you know that, Vasquez? Well, because I was doing the statements. Question. You are actually the one doing the statement. Answer by Vasquez. Not all the time I was in New York starting in 2003 through what date you were in New York from 2003 to 2006. Vasquez answers question and while you were in New York, you were working for MC2?

[B]

Vasquez Yes.

[A]

And what is the proof that you have seen that Jeffrey Epstein was a partner or financial supporter of MC2? I was the one who took the papers to Mellon Bank. That's in Miami.

[B]

Vasquez Yes.

[A]

And sweet Paul I was talking at that time to Rich, I believe his name was Rich Ganny. That was one of the other assistants of Jeffrey Epstein. Question Ganny G A N Y. Answer by Vasquez yeah. Question do they call him Eric Ganny? Answer that is his name, yeah, Eric Ganny, that's his name. I recall some things, not all the time. I recall that Mr. Epstein didn't want to sign the papers, but Mellon bank didn't want to accept the line of credit if he didn't sign. So we had to return the papers to New York. So he actually signed the documents. And what was the actual signing? Do you remember signing over as a line of credit or. Answer by Vasquez as a line. As the grantor of the line of credit, because the line of credit came from JP Morgan directly. But. But he was the grantor. He was the one who was actually responsible. Question and how much was the line of credit? Answer A million dollars. It was at the time. Question and did you ever keep track of whether or not that line was extended or any additional monies were given to MC Squared?

[B]

Vasquez?

[A]

Answer No. I don't know. Question so in addition to his financial guarantor on the line of credit of a million dollars, what other involvement are you aware of that Jeffrey Epstein had with MC2 or the apartments at 301 E. 66th St. Where the models lived? Answer by Vasquez. They were planning on buying or associating with a girl in France for a company. They were planning to do a company. And actually I gave the paper to Mr. Sean Connolly, which is an actual paper that came from the office of Jeffrey Epstein that was given instructions to Jean Luc Brunel saying that he wanted to have the same contract as what's his name of Donald Trump and that he wanted to have the same kind of benefits for the scouters. So he was giving instructions to Jean Luc Brunel on what to do, what to. There is a woman in Paris, I don't recall her name. Freelet, I believe it was. And they were. There were three of them trying to do a new company, but Then everything was like, on zero. They never. They never did it together. Say what now? Jean Luc Brunel, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump together in a company. Is that what Ms. Vasquez is saying here? Could be. Question and do you know why? Answer no. Question Would you know the lady's name in Paris? If I. Answer if you give it to me. Yeah, if you give me the name I can recall. Okay. While I'm looking for that, how many girls that were models were living in the apartment at any given time at 301 East 66th Street? Answer that's not only one apartment. There are a lot of apartments there. There is not only one girl. There is not only one apartment. I believe there were like two or three apartments and they were put in between four girls per apartment, I believe. How many apartments? Answer I believe there were like two or three. Question and there is four girls per apartment. Yes. Question and you know that because you saw the documentation at MC2 that showed where these girls were living.

[B]

Vasquez. Yes.

[A]

Question did you have something to do with the visas that were prepared for the girls that were working? Yes, I was providing the names to the attorney. His name is Louis Font. He was doing the visas here in Miami. There was another Valenzuela was handling directly the visas in New York, and only when she had problems, she hired another attorney. I don't know the name of the attorney in New York, but Louis Font is the one that was at the time, the attorney handling the visas in Miami. Question do you remember doing the visa for Nadia Marcinkova? Answer no. That was done in New York by Eve Valenzuela. Question and Nadia's visa that you specifically remember being done, right? Answer yeah, I remember that because at one point, I believe one of the renovations of her visa, something happened. And Mr. Epstein called the office while I was there, and he was really upset and he spoke with Jean Luc and they were really nasty with Eve. And, you know, it wasn't if, like, it was Eve's fault, it was their fault because they gave the wrong information. But, you know, she was only an employee and that's it. Question how did Nadia Marcinkova come into the country by a model's visa? I believe she was 14, by the way. Question and she was brought in specifically by Jeffrey Epstein or Jean Luc Brunel. Do you remember? Answer by Vasquez. Mr. Epstein was paying for the visas, but, you know, all the visas were done through Karen's or MC Squared. I believe she came with Karen's visa first, then everything transferred to MC Square. And I believe those visas were paid directly by Mr. Epstein. Question. How old was Nadia Marcinkova when she first came? I don't know. I wasn't in New York at that time because I know she came prior to me getting involved in New York. Question and you were involved in New York in 2003? Answer yes. Question so she came in some time before that? Answer by Vasquez. I believe so. Question but Even back in 2003, she's still. I don't know how old she is now. She's probably 24 or 25. Do you know Vasquez? Answer no. Question have you ever met her? Answer no. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up part one right here. And in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up with part two. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone?

And Jean Luc himself was driving the girls to his house because he was having a party and there were supposed to be girls. Question which girls did he drive over there? Vasquez One time.

Do you know this person in Brazil? Kasha or Kashe? C A, C, H A or cache? No. Here is a document that we obtain related to information from Jeffrey Epstein's computer system. It says Massage Paris. It's in a square there, and it continues to the next page. Tell me if you recognize any of those names. No. Lakita. Leila is one of the girls that went with Mohini. Now that I'm seeing, kind of the names. Leela is one of the other ones. If this is Lolita or. Or Lakita, something like that, it's a black girl that I believe she was. She was not underage, but she was going out with one of Jeffrey's best friends. Question who is that? Answer by Vasquez. I believe. Question who is Jeffrey's best friend that she was going out with? Answer. I don't know. I don't know. Lakita, something like that is her name. Question. All right. What information do you have about Jean Luc being involved with underage girls at any point in time? And by that I mean being involved sexually with underage girls. Answer. One day he told me that he wishes he can sleep with one of the girls that was underage. And I told him that she's a minor, whatever. And then. Hold on. That's my son. Telephone interruption. Answer. He had a problem. You know, I cannot say that I saw them. Look, because I would be lying, and I'm not going to say any lies. But the only thing that I can tell you is what I saw about Jean Luc is that Jean Luc is a drug addict, a cocaine addict. At some point in time, you actually saw evidence of that, right? Yes. I mean, him using cocaine that somebody does every day. Yeah, he's an addict. He used drugs as well. You know, I know Mr. Epstein doesn't take any alcohol or drugs. I know that. I heard that. How do you know? I heard that, says Vasquez. I heard that. I don't know, because I never met. I never. I was like, never around him or nothing like that. I'm just telling you what I heard. But regarding Jean Luc, I know, I know that he has that kind of problem. Question. And as long as you knew Jean Luc, he always had a cocaine problem. Answer. Yes. Question what about Jeff Fuller? Answer, I know he had a cocaine problem too. He was one time on the Internet, you know, like a report on that. Question. And if Jeff Fuller, somebody else, who you also knew to have been associated sexually with underage girls.

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

Answer. Jeff, I, you know, I don't think Jeff. I always thought that Jeff was gay. For me, he's gay, you know, that's the impression that I have, but I don't think so. Did you find out that Jeffrey Epstein and or Jean Lucy were involved in these underage girls that were staying in these apartments at 301 East 66? Answer. I really don't know that. You know, I cannot tell you. I know there were girls staying there. I never knew if they were going there or not. Question. You mean you knew that the girls that were staying there were 13, 14 and 15? Answer. Some of the girls were underage. Yeah. Question. As well as 13, 14 or so. 13 or. Yeah, 14. Did you ever ask any of the girls if they were sexually involved with Jean Luc and. Or Jeffrey Epstein? No. One time there was a problem with Juliana and she was, I believe she was 14 years old and she tried to go. Or they took her to a discotheque in Miami Beach. And when I went to work that day, after they told me that the police was asking. So since she was doing whatever she wanted, you know, I brought her to my house and I said, you're not going out at night. You're only 13 or 14 years old. And that's my responsibility. Question. Do you know Sergio Cordero?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Question. And do you know what Sergio's role was in getting girls or something for Jeffrey Epstein? Yeah, that is something that Sergio, you know, comment with me. And he said that when Jeffrey Epstein went to Ecuador, Jean Luc told me that he had to bring girls and this and that because Jeffrey was coming to Ecuador, so they did such a big thing. Right, but in terms of bringing girls, specifically girls that were very young. Yeah, but there were girls from Ecuador. There's nothing you can't do there. It's South America. Question. I understand that. I'm not saying whether it was legal or. Or illegal. I'm just asking you. The direction was that Jean Luc told Sergio not to bring the girls. Never said never. Sergio knew what they like. Young girls. Question. By young, what are we talking about? Vasquez, 18, 19. Sergio, you know, I know Sergio. And more than anything like Sergio, Sergio's a father. I don't think he will put his hands on a 10, a 11, 12, 13 year old girl. You know what I mean? Question. I'm not asking about him. Do you know if Jeffrey Epstein being involved with underage girls? Answer by Vasquez. Yeah, I've heard that question. You heard that? Through whom? I don't mean just the newspapers and things like that. I mean. Answer. No. Through. Through the office, through Jean Luc. Through. There were conversations of Jean Luc saying that, you know, questions saying what? Vasquez answers that Jeffrey liked underage girls. And never directly, but you know, his conversations were like that. Okay, but specifically I want to know what evidence that we have. What real conversations that you heard about Jeffrey Epstein telling you he liked underage girls? I'm telling you, Jean Luc's saying it from his own mouth. Okay, and specifically he says Jeffrey Epstein likes underage girls. Or, or he likes 12 year olds. Or like what? Vasquez answered, no, he likes young girls. When they were talking in his office, there were a lot of people. So they were not stupid. They were knowing how to talk because they were not making like a big thing of oh, look, he's going out with Polanta phonetic. And we knew Folenita was only 18 years old. She's a young girl. So that's the kind of girl that he likes. He know what I mean? Question. But there is nothing illegal going out with an 18 year old girl. And that's what I'm asking. Answer Vasquez. No. Question. What information do we have that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls? I mean, I have a lot of information on my own, but I'm asking what information? You know. Answer. The only thing I heard in my office that Jean Luc say that, like when they say, oh, I wish I could sleep with this girl. Or the fact that she was taking 15, 16 year old girls to his house. Question. Who? Answer by Vasquez. I know that because I saw him. Question. Jean Luc was taking 15 year olds to his own place.

[B]

Vasquez.

Answer in question Little Saint James Vasquez, one New Year's, I believe that was like 2004 or 2005, that New Year's, they were having a party there. Question who was having a party there?

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

Mr. Epstein. Question and who was at the party that you know of? Vasquez Answers I know that Jean Luc was there, but then specifically, I don't know if Jean Luc stay there, because what I do recall is that during those days there was like December 30th or 29th, something like that. Jean Luc called me from Puerto Rico that he was doing scouting and actually he was the one who told me that he had to go to Jeffrey's island because they were having this party there for New Year's. Question what other girls do you know of that were at that party? Answer by Vasquez. I don't know. Question do you know of any other people that were at that party? Answer no. Question Just Jean Luc Brunel and Epstein. Answer yes. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up right there. And in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're gonna pick up where we left off. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up where we left off with the Maritza Vasquez deposition about MC Squared, Jean Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein. Once again, Bradley Edwards is asking the questions and Ms. Vasquez is doing the answering. Question. The last time we talked, I have just the investigative report, which basically was just typed up from the things that you said. It was written that Ms. Vasquez advised that she herself submitted the documents to her new Nadia's foreign visa on at least two occasions.

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

No, not me. It was Evelyn Valenzuela. I never did her visa. That visa was done by Evelyn in New York. Question When's the first time that you learned that Nadia Marcinkova was involved with Jeffrey Epstein? I believe in 2007, after I was out of the company. Question. You didn't know when you were in the company that they were involved? No. Question. Alright. At some point in time, did you get in trouble, criminal Trouble, related to MC2? Vasquez they accused me in 2006. Who accused you? Jeff. Jeff Fuller?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

What did he accuse you of? Of stealing money. And I had a letter from Jean Luc Brunel authorizing me to get the money that I had, you know. Question and did you ultimately have to plead to criminal charges because of that? Answer. That was my, that's what my attorney told me to do. Question yeah. Answer.

[B]

Vasquez yeah.

[A]

QUESTION so now you're on probation or something? Yes. How long does the probation last? Vasquez they did it for 20 years. So I'm just trying to reduce that 20 year probation. Yeah. And other than Jeff Fuller, who else was, who else is making these accusations? Vasquez Only Jeff how about Jean Luc? I never, my attorney told me that Jean Luc was never interviewed. Nothing. Jeffrey Epstein Vasquez no. Have you talked to Jean Luc Brunel about the whole situation? Vasquez I spoke with Jean Luc on two or three times. I spoke with Jean Luc like two or three times during, prior to the middle of the process. I did. And I still have an email that he sent me because he wanted to talk to me, I wanted to talk to him. And I never made the time because Jeff Fuller didn't allow him to talk to me. So we never got together to talk. Question and they prosecuted the case in federal court here in Miami.

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

Yes. Question and your entire sentence was probation. There was no prison or house arrest. Answer by Vasquez House arrest, one year, that it was already done and then probation. Question the last time I have a lot of other notes about some of the other models that were being brought in and signing visas as if they were going to work here, but, but really they were living in the apartment and didn't really do any modeling work. Vasquez yeah, that's true. That's true. I told you that many, many girls were coming here. Many girls were coming here without a visa, without a working visa. Most of the girls, they were coming into the States as tourists. They were working. Whenever they work, they were collecting 30% from their income when they were not even legal. They didn't even have Social Security or nothing. But they never pay it, neither to the government, neither to the girls, you know. And within the time, I believe Jean Luc started getting pressure from Mr. Epstein that he didn't want to get in Trouble. And he put some pressure on Jean Luc so he wanted all the girls to have a visa. So they start working on the visas of the girls. Question. Okay.

[B]

VASQUEZ.

[A]

And they were making like contracts or things like that, but because prior to that, they didn't have it prior to that, when Jean Luc, prior to Jean Luc getting money from Mr. Epstein, Jean Luc was doing whatever he wanted. QUESTION. Okay, VASQUEZ and Later, you know, Mr. Epstein put the money that he had to start taking, you know, all the invoices from Mr. Epstein. Question does Jeffrey Epstein know that Jean Luc is a coke addict? VASQUEZ I don't know. I don't even know that Mr. Epstein knows that Jean Luc lied to him all the time. Because when he, when I gave the line of credit to Jean Luc, Jean Luc presented false statements to him. You know, Mr. Epstein wanted to see that the company was profitable and we had to hide all those numbers and we had to give him like positive numbers so he can see what the company was making money, but in belief, always was in the red. Do you mean by that Jeffrey Epstein said, hey, I'm going to give you money as long as the company is positive? Vasquez yeah, Mr. Epstein wanted to see, I believe, I believe since he's a very successful person, money wise, he was not stupid to put his money, even though he knew he was able to get girls or whatever, you know, if that was the case. But deep inside he wanted to see if these people really if this company was profitable for him to put a million dollars. And so maybe Eric Granny at the time was one of his advisors and they wanted to see the profit and loss statements and, you know, the balance book or whatever. I told you the name of the accountant, that you could go and look at all those papers, you know, make a subpoena, whatever, of Richard Fernandez that he could give you all the information 98, 99, 2000, after 2005, that he did everything. And you could see the company was always in the red. Always. QUESTION so the company wasn't profitable, but Jean Luke falsified documents to show to Jeffrey Epstein?

[B]

VASQUEZ yes.

[A]

QUESTION and you have seen the real documents and the falsified documents?

[B]

VASQUEZ yes.

[A]

QUESTION so you know that they were falsified?

[B]

VASQUEZ. Yes.

[A]

QUESTION Is it your understanding that Jeffrey Epstein is still involved from a financial aspect in MC2? Vasquez I believe so. Because as far as I know, the line of credit wasn't paid, the million dollars wasn't paid. QUESTION and Jean Luc and Epstein are still friends.

[B]

Vasquez yes.

[A]

Jean Luc is still living in Jeffrey Epstein's apartment in New York. How do you know that?

[B]

Vasquez well, because.

[A]

Because I know. Question from Evelyn Vasquez Yes. Question Is Evelyn still working for MC Squared? Vasquez no. Question do you know who is working for MC Squared? Vasquez it was working until not too long ago. A very Evelyn's granddaughter, Jobelyn. She was working there. Question how do you spell that? Answer J, O, B, E, L, I, N. Question okay, anybody else? Vasquez in Europe? Question yes or here? Answer no that was related to Eve no. Evelyn Joblin. Question who works in the MC2 office here? Answer here. I know other things because Amanda Grant and I gave you her name more than one time. Amanda was working with them until 2008 and she got a lot of information and she wanted, you know, she call. I arranged the call with immigration because they screw her and actually they made her leave the company because she has. She's a single mother, four kids and they were giving her a lot of bad, bad times. Question how do you spell her name? Amanda Grand. Answer no. Amanda Grant with a T. Question and do you know her address, phone number, something like that?

[B]

Vasquez I have.

[A]

You can get it in Facebook. She's in Facebook. Amanda Grant. Question do you have it? Vasquez not in this phone. My other phone broke, so I don't. I can get it for you if you want. Question yeah, I would appreciate that. Vasquez yeah, Amanda also had the information of monies. As I told you before, she took monies that they were transferred to the Virgin Islands. Question Monies transferred to the Virgin Islands? Answer yes. Question from what account to what? Vasquez Jean Luc opened an account there because Jeffrey told him that it was better to open an account there. So there was money. Like for example, if the monies were going to Manuel Cruz to do a shoot or something, Jean Luc was negotiating with the girls and say okay, if you go to the sunny photos, I give you 2000 cash, no reports whatever. So Jean Luc had a billing that had company from another company or from the Virgin Islands. So he was neither paying taxes here and maybe he was making $20,000 on that shooting and he was given the girl only 2000 and that money never came to be reported here. Question okay, other than you saying that you know that a 15 year old or so went to Jean Luc's house with him, how else do we know that Jean Luc or Jeffrey Epstein. I'm more concerned with Jeffrey Epstein were involved sexually with underage girls? Answer. How do I know? I. I cannot tell you that I saw that I was there, because that's not true. I never saw anything. Question. Right, but sometimes you just know. Answer. Yeah, sometimes. And that's. That's what I can tell you. I know because I can tell you about Jean Luc that I know because I met him for 10 years, okay? I can put my hand on fire. And I can tell you that he did it about Jean Luc. I can say it. I don't know about Mr. Epstein because I was never. I met him once in my life. I saw him once in my life. And after that, when I saw him was in the newspapers. That's it. Question. And otherwise. You just heard that Jeffrey Epstein likes underage girls.

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

Underage girls, yeah. Question. And there was a time where Sergio. Well, I've talked to Sergio, so I'll talk to him about whatever the Ecuador trip was.

[B]

Vasquez.

[A]

Yeah. Question all right. Do you know of his company, C O U Q. Answer no. Question. Foundation. All right. Do you know somebody by the name of Gypsy? Answer no. And that's interesting. Just interject because there's somebody named Gypsy Gita who Shantay Davies said was the one who brought her into the belly of the beast. So just keep that name in mind for later on. Question. Somebody who provided Jeffrey girls? Answer no. Question. How about Gilletta? Answer no Question. Never heard that name. Answer no Question. Dana Burns Vasquez. I believe I heard that name. Question. She works up in New York. I believe she works for Jeffrey Epstein in some capacity. Do you know who that is? Answer. I believe so. No Question. Okay, Vasquez. The person who can tell you that is Eve, because Eve was very involved with Jeffrey Epstein's office. Question. Do you know Jojo Fontanella? Answer no. Question. No. Other than Jean Luc, what other people that are friends with Jean Luc share his interest in under underage girls that you know of? Answer no. Question. I mean, who are his friends? Who are the guys he hangs out with? Answer. Jeff, when he was in Miami. Jeff. Corrado. Question. Who is Corrado? A friend of Jean Luc, an Italian guy. They were always like that. Corrado and Luke. I met Jean Luc's friends in Ecuador. Like people that had to be people that they were involved with modeling agencies in Europe, you in South America. But very different people. Very different people. I met some people from France. Pedal. Really? Even if they were guys or whatever, gentlemen, you know, like very proper people, like from Brazil too, and women, you know. Question. How about Simon Para? You know who that is? Answer. Simon Para? Yeah. Question. How do you know him? Answer. I met him through Jean Luc. Question. And what's his story? Mr. Opara is very good friends of the office. I cannot say of Jean Luc because he was only a friend of him. He was a very good friend of the office because Mr. Para is a gentleman. He was lending money to the office whenever I requested. He always gave it to me for the office, you know, that I signed, I had to sign papers for him or whatever to do the payroll or whatever. But Mr. Para is the guy. He. He likes to be surrounded by girls, but not underage girls. All right, folks, we're going to wrap up right there.
