Jeffrey Epstein hired PH-based team to work on hiding his past

The late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hired a Philippine-based team to wipe out alleged criminal activity from the web, according to documents from the US Department of Justice.

The documents showed email exchanges of Epstein and Al Seckel, who is married to Ghislaine Maxwell’s sister. Maxwell is Epstein’s girlfriend and procurer.

Seckel said the team has been working on concealing Epstein’s alleged crimes on the internet by covering up negative links and promoting positive ones.  

“Google suggests has gotten rid of two negatives … jeffry epstein jail and one jeffrey epstein pedophile … another thing I’ve had the Philippine work on since day one,” Seckel told Epstein in an email dated December 7, 2010.

“Our group in the Philippines is building links and links to our sites, pseudo sites, and the other Jeffrey Epsteins of the world," Seckel’s email in October 2010 stated.

The cover-up was done by creating many links to the websites and pages they created about Epstein, emphasizing his supposed involvement in areas like science and sports.

“Wikipedia was an important victory, as it will always be at the top of the search engine results. Now the head lines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile. Instead, Philanthrophic work, Epstein Foundation, Promotion of Scientists,” Seckel said in an email dated December 16, 2010.

Epstein was arrested in 2019 for trafficking and abusing underage girls in the US and abroad. He died in jail later that year while waiting for trial. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
