Ghislaine Maxwell Addressed Epstein's 'Client List'

In addition, the British native slammed rumors of a “client list,” which was rumored to be a document containing high-profile names connected to Epstein’s s-- trafficking scheme. “There is no list,” she emphasized. “'The genesis of that story, I can actually trace for you from its absolute inception.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Changed Prisons Recently

Ghislaine Maxwell was recently moved to a federal prison camp.
Maxwell was recently moved to a federal prison camp in Byron, Texas, where a shooting broke out in the early morning of August 9. According to a Substack, two “gang-related” groups were shooting at each other outside the prison. The facility referred to it as an “active shooter situation” and locked down the inmates.
According to the report, sources are calling the events surrounding the shooting “highly suspicious,” with conversations inside the prison reportedly alluding to this being an attempted break-in aimed at Maxwell. One insider also noted there was a second attempt a few days later, which went unreported in the news.

Sources believe Ghislaine Maxwell 'could be killed' at the new prison.
Since Maxwell was moved to the facility, there have been many security changes, with “barbed wire” coiling the fences, “unmarked patrol cars” that circle the prison 24/7, four armed men at the front and more.
“I think there is a high likelihood Maxwell could be killed or moved — I just don’t see her walking out of there alive,” one source explained, referring to how easily accessible the facility is compared to more maximum security prisons.
