Jeffrey Epstein suspiciously shipped ‘carpet and tile extractor’ to his NYC mansion as feds were closing in: report
Published 34 mins ago on July 9, 2019 By Bob Brigham

Maritime records show two suspicious shipments from Jeff Epstein’s so-called “Pedophile Island” to his homes in the United States at two critical times in the investigations into his alleged sex trafficking of girls.

“Jeffrey Epstein shipped a shredder from the U.S. Virgin Islands to his Palm Beach home in July 2008, shortly after reaching a non-prosecution agreement with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, maritime records show,” The Intercept reported Tuesday. “Then, in March of this year, shortly after a Florida federal judge invalidated that agreement, Epstein shipped a tile and carpet extractor from the Virgin Islands to his Manhattan townhouse, the records show.”

“On July 7, 2008, federal prosecutors told Epstein’s attorneys via email that they intended to notify the 32 victims about the agreement,” the publication noted. “A week later, on July 15, Epstein received a shipment at his Palm Beach home from the port in the U.S. Virgin Islands closest to his home there, according to maritime shipping records compiled by ImportGenius and provided to The Intercept. The shipment was a 53-pound shredder.”

A decade later, Epstein’s legal troubles were back in the news after investigative reporting by the Miami Herald.

wonder if it is a fancy name for people who will rip out flooring?

OK - looked it up and it is the machine used to clean carpets.

Maybe because you purposely didn't look for it, and enabled it's later destruction, you goddamned fuckwit!

than to buy locally. Even if you have to send your servants to fetch.

I have a shredder at home, and if I had anywhere near the actual need for one that he has, I'd have one at every residence. If I had his airplane, I'd have a shredder on it, too. Can't comprehend the need for him to ship one.

Seems like he would go somewhere where he couldn't be extradited.

He seems to have some pretty good "protection" going on here in the good ole US of A.

Or at least he used to. Perhaps that protection has run out.
