FILTHY RICH
The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein
"Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy exposes the chilling true story of Jeffrey Epstein—a man whose immense wealth and influence shielded him from accountability for decades. With unflinching detail, this gripping narrative delves into Epstein’s rise as a mysterious financier, his dark web of exploitation, and the high-profile connections that allowed his crimes to fester in plain sight. From the lavish estates of Palm Beach to the halls of power in Washington and beyond, the book uncovers how money, manipulation, and privilege corrupted justice, leaving countless victims in its wake. Through meticulous reporting and shocking revelations, it lays bare the systemic failures that enabled Epstein’s reign of impunity, while asking the haunting question: in a world where the rich write the rules, can justice ever truly be served?" |
