Epstein's Black Amex: How he secretly moved women around with invite-only credit cards

Jeffrey Epstein’s office set a rule for its special team inside American Express: spending on trips for young women and others had to be kept a secret, even from his inner circle.

After a flight confirmation went out to multiple people in 2017, Epstein’s longtime assistant, Lesley Groff, who is not accused of any wrongdoing, sent a message to the relationship manager for his invite-only Black card, officially known as Centurion: “PLEASE HELP! Take ALL Email Addresses OUT of OUR ACCOUNT!!”

She explained that “Jeffrey was livid” because he’s “EXTREMELY private” and “does not want ANY flight confirmations sent to anyone but me”.

For years, Epstein’s office relied on American Express to arrange trips not just for the disgraced financier, who’d pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution, but for dozens of women, often Eastern European. His Centurion relationship manager also booked and cancelled trips that were never meant to be taken, a move aimed at helping the women obtain visas, according to emails released by the Department of Justice.
