Jeffrey Epstein's Enigmatic 'Little Black Book' Set For Auction: Who's Named Inside?

An auction is being conducted for a mysterious "little black book" believed to have belonged to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

It is reported that the book, which allegedly contains the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed individuals, will not reveal the identities of bidders.

The auction house owner that the book could potentially fetch up to $200,000, as reported by The Dail Beast. Notable figures mentioned in the book include former president Donald Trump, billionaire New York businessman John Catsimatidis, Suzanne Ircha (Melania Trump's best friend and co-owner of the New York Jets), billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn, Cristina Greeven (fired CNN anchor Chris Cuomo's wife), former Playboy CEO Christie Hefner, and former New Republic publisher Marty Peretz, a former political mentor to Al Gore.

However, it should be noted that none of these individuals have been charged with any crimes related to Epstein. Interestingly, the book was discovered on Fifth Avenue in the East Village during the 1990s by a female musician, although how it ended up there remains unclear, as reported by Hindustan Times.

The book contains a total of 349 names, but 221 of these names were not included in a later "black book" that Epstein maintained, which is more widely discussed. The address book is believed to date back to 1997 and is scheduled for private sale by Alexander Historical Auctions on May 15, as reported by Hindustan Times. Its authenticity will be confirmed by a forensic examiner's report.

Bill Panagopulos, the owner of the auction house, was quoted by the Daily Beast as saying, "There are no comparables for the sale of this kind of relic. But, based on my experience, if I'm pressed to offer a price I would think it would be $100,000 to $200,000, and up."

Individuals Named in the 'Little Black Book'

The "little black book" has elicited responses from some of the named individuals. Catsimatidis informed the Daily Beast that he had only met the paedophile once. The Trump campaign has remained silent on the matter, although the former president had previously claimed ignorance of Epstein's crimes.

Peretz stated to the New York Post that he didn't "know what to think about" his inclusion in the book and had met Epstein only once at a Harvard dinner approximately 25 years ago. "I suppose he had a lot of names in his book. I really don't care," Peretz remarked, as reported by Hindustan Times.

Responding on behalf of his wife, Cuomo stated, "She has no comment. They have absolutely no contact. Absolutely no relationship." The revelation of this book follows the release of names associated with Epstein in a series of previously sealed court documents.
