The Epstein list, also known as the "Black Book," is a collection of names of wealthy and powerful individuals who had close relationships with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The list contains the names of politicians, business leaders, and other influential people who were known to have met with Epstein at his private island in the Caribbean or at one of his many high-end properties around the world. The list has become a symbol of the close ties between the wealthy and powerful, and the ways in which they often operate beyond the scrutiny of the public eye.
