Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend and alleged pimp Ghislaine Maxwell's e-mails hacked.

Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend and alleged pimp Ghislaine Maxwell had her e-mails hacked. The Daily Mail. Maxwell's lawyer said that one of her e-mail accounts was accidentally released in court documents related to the Virginia Guiffre defamation case. Her email account was hacked shortly after. Prince Andrew could be at risk if those e-mails are released as he is known to have talked to Maxwell about the Virginia Guiffre case, where Guiffre accused the Prince of having sex with her while she was underage. Maxwell's current whereabouts are unknown but it known that in addition to the defamation case, she is being investigated by the FBI.

My Comment:

Looks like the courts screwed up in this case and allowed Maxwell's e-mail account to leak. This made her vulnerable to hacking and it looks like it happened fairly quickly after the account name was found. This is a huge mistake by the court and is the kind of thing that should not happen, regardless of the public interest of the case. 

These e-mails, if they are released, could be extremely damaging to both Maxwell herself, but to many of the other players in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Most notable among those is Prince Andrew, who is alleged to have raped Virginia Guiffre. Andrew had a horrible interview with the BBC and was relieved of his royal duties and I always thought it might be because of further revelations being on the way. 

As and aside, I thought that the Prince Harry/Meghan Markle scandal was a planned distraction. Even if the two wanted out you can't help but to wonder why they chose this time to do it. My guess is that the Royal Family wanted the Prince Andrew story killed so they had Harry take the fall. I'm far from an expert on the Royals though as I have always said that Americans fought a war so we wouldn't have to care about the personal lives of monarchs. 

The big question now is who hacked the email account? Who did it will probably determine if this information will come out. It's possible that the hacker was some kind of civilian that wanted this information to come out. If that's the case we should see what secrets the account had. Given the extreme interest in this case and the fact that pretty much everyone wants more information about the crimes, I think it's very possible that this is the case. 

However, we should also realize that it could have been a foreign government that hacked this e-mail account. I have always maintained that Jeffrey Epstein was running a blackmail scheme on behalf of a foreign or domestic intelligence service. Maxwell knew much about the blackmail and probably had very valuable information for foreign intelligence agencies. Anyone named in these e-mails could end up being blackmailed as well...
