The Mega Group’s role in the Epstein case has garnered some attention, as Epstein’s main financial patron for decades, billionaireLeslie Wexner, was a co-founder of the groupthat unites several well-known businessmen with a penchant for pro-Israel and ethno-philanthropy (i.e., philanthropy benefiting a single ethnic or ethno-religious group). However, as this report will show, another uniting factor among Mega Group members isdeep ties to organized crime,specifically the organized crime network discussed in Part I of this series, which was largely led by notorious American mobsterMeyer Lansky.
By virtue of the role of many Mega Group members as major political donors in both the U.S. and Israel, several of its most notable members have close ties to the governments of both countries as well as theirintelligence communities.As this report and a subsequent report will show, the Mega Group also had close ties to two businessmen whoworked for Israel’s Mossad — Robert Maxwell and Marc Rich— as well as totop Israeli politicians,including past and present prime ministers with deep ties to Israel’s intelligence community.
One of those businessmen working for the Mossad, Robert Maxwell, will be discussed at length in this report. Maxwell, who was a business partner of Mega Group co-founderCharles Bronfman,aided the successful Mossad plot to plant a trapdoor in U.S.-created software that was then sold to governments and companies throughout the world. That plot’s success was largely due to the role of a close associate of then-President Ronald Reagan and an American politician close to Maxwell, who later helped aid Reagan in the cover-up of the Iran Contra scandal.
Years later, Maxwell’s daughter — Ghislaine Maxwell — would join Jeffrey Epstein’s “inner circle” at the same time Epstein was bankrolling a similar software program now being marketed for critical electronic infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad. That company has deep and troubling connections to Israeli military intelligence, associates of the Trump administration, and the Mega Group.
Epstein appears to have ties to Israeli intelligence and has well-documented ties to influential Israeli politicians and the Mega Group. Yet, those entities are not isolated in and of themselves, as many also connect to the organized crime network andpowerful alleged pedophilesdiscussed in previous installments of this series.
Perhaps the best illustration of how the connections between many of these players often meld together can be seen inRonald Lauder:a Mega Group member, former member of the Reagan administration, long-time donor to Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuand Israel’s Likud Party, as well as a long-time friend of Donald Trump andRoy Cohn.
