Consolidated register of Epstein-linked individuals

The 2023 JPMorgan Chase settlement with Epstein victims provides the most comprehensive research into Epstein activities during the duration of their customer relationship.

The report names a broad circle of bankers, fixers, clients, staff and alleged co-conspirators who interacted with Epstein's money-moving machine. A forensic reading shows that his inner economic web stretched from JPMorgan executives who serviced his accounts to lawyers, accountants and high-net-worth friends such as Leslie Wexner and Leon Black.

Below is a consolidated register of every individual explicitly mentioned in the PDF, with the capacity in which the document ties them to Epstein.

The report's heavy use of black bars masks only a handful of recurring women; when the financial records, footnotes, and parallel press coverage are read together they align almost perfectly with four well-documented Epstein associates. All four appear repeatedly in the banking schedules under shell-companies or tuition payments that match their publicly reported back-stories, letting us fill in the blanks with high confidence.

  Redacted Individuals – Likely Identities

Report placeholder (page / figure)How the report describes the person or entityBest-estimate identityCore reasoning & public corroboration
List of "Epstein-Related Individuals," item 2, "purchased at 14 from parents in Yugoslavia"Minor obtained overseas, later a pilot and longtime companionNadia Marcinko (a.k.a. Marcinkova)Press and court filings describe Epstein claiming to have "bought" Marcinko at 14 and grooming her as both victim and pilot. Her aviation company Aviloop matches other records in the report.
Figure 13, entity (1): "owned by [identified victim and alleged co-conspirator]"Shell company receiving unexplained transfersNadia Marcinko (same as above)The Guardian piece cited in the footnote names Marcinko as a victim who now runs companies from an Epstein-owned property, matching the shell-company description.
Figure 13, entity (4): "owned by [reported former girlfriend]"Wellness/PR firm SL Communications & Lifestyle LLCShelley Ann LewisTelegraph exposé identifies Manchester-born wellness entrepreneur Shelley Lewis as Epstein's ex-girlfriend and founder of the same LLC named in banking records.
Figure 13, entity (5): "owned by [former assistant and alleged co-conspirator]"Interior-design firm SLK Designs LLCSarah Kellen (now Sarah Kensington Vickers)The Cut and Miami Herald profile Kellen as Epstein's scheduler-recruiter who later formed SLK Designs; those pieces are the very sources the report cites.
List of "Epstein-Related Individuals," item 7: "an Epstein victim"Listed with no role other than victimTeala DaviesThe CBS News link in the footnote is a lawsuit filed by Davies and includes the same photograph the report references.
$42 k wire "to International Culinary Center for the benefit of [redacted]"Tuition payment for a woman who also received >$200 k in direct transfersTeala Davies (probable)Davies' complaint states Epstein financed her schooling after grooming her; no other identified victim has a culinary-school link, making her the likeliest beneficiary.

  Methodology

The matching was done in three steps:

  1. Map every redaction to its detailed descriptor in the expert report's footnotes and exhibits (e.g., entity numbers and tuition wires).
  2. Trace those descriptors to the specific news articles the report itself cites; each article names the woman behind the redaction.
  3. Cross-check against independent reporting (NY Post, Telegraph, Miami Herald, CBS News, NY Mag) to confirm that the named individual's biography fits the banking activity (e.g., Marcinko's aviation firms, Lewis's SL Communications, Kellen's SLK Designs, Davies' education payments).

Taken together, the financial data and open-source reporting converge on the four names above with minimal ambiguity; no other Epstein associate fits each description as tightly.
