Mega Group, Maxwells and Mossad: The Spy Story at the Heart of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal
August 07th, 2019
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-founderof the group that 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 bynotorious American mobster Meyer 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 astheir intelligence communities.As this report and a subsequent report will show, the Mega Group also had close ties to two businessmen who worked for Israel’sMossad — Robert Maxwell and Marc Rich— as well as to top Israeli politicians, includingpast 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 Groupco-founder Charles Bronfman,aided the successfulMossad plot to plant a trapdoorin 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 thecover-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 asimilar software programnow being marketed for critical electronic infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad. That company has deep and troubling connections toIsraeli 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 and powerful alleged pedophiles discussed 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 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s Likud Party, as well as a long-time friend ofDonald Trump and Roy Cohn.
