Recently unsealed Department of Justice records show that **Jeffrey Epstein named Jes Staley and Larry Summers as potential executors in earlier draft versions of his estate planning documents from the 2010s, though neither appeared in the final will he signed in 2019. According to the newly released materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Staley first appeared in a 2012 draft as a “successor executor” and was later listed as a full executor in versions from 2013 and 2014, while Summers was named a successor executor in a 2014 revision. These designations would have given both men significant authority over Epstein’s vast estate if the primary executors were unable or unwilling to serve — a striking inclusion given their high public profiles. However, in the final will drafted shortly before Epstein’s death, both men were removed and are absent from the 2019 document that ultimately governs the estate.

Oh these are the guys we’re supposed to tiptoe around for? These are the delicate reputations the system keeps clearing its throat to protect? A Wall Street lifer who can’t explain his Epstein emails without tripping over himself, and an academic power broker who spent years pretending his association with Epstein was some innocent clerical error? These are the men whose good names require sealed files, careful wording, and institutional panic? Give me a break. If the truth about a dead sex trafficker’s will is enough to embarrass you, then maybe the embarrassment isn’t the problem — maybe it’s the résumé. The idea that the public must be shielded from learning that Jeffrey Epstein trusted these guys with his estate isn’t discretion, it’s comedy. And not even good comedy — it’s the kind that only plays in boardrooms where accountability has been dead longer than Epstein himself.
