Ghislaine Maxwell first met Jeffrey Epstein in 1991 at his Madison Avenue office. She recalled his tie had a giant, ketchup-like stain. Maxwell had recently called off an engagement and was moving from London to New York when a girlfriend introduced her to Epstein. The relationship became both romantic and professional, with Epstein paying Maxwell and Maxwell overseeing his properties. They were largely out of touch by Epstein's death in jail in 2019. Three years later Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years for trafficking young girls and participating in their sexual abuse. A two-day interview with the Deputy Attorney General produced a 337-page transcript and audio showing Maxwell's airbrushed account and Blanche's placid acceptance.
