Overview
- Photographer Christopher Anderson shared an unseen image of Jeffrey Epstein’s desk taken in 2015 that appears to show a printed email about unpaid wages tied to the Duke and Duchess of York.
- The visible portion of the 2011 email shows Sarah Ferguson’s former assistant John O’Sullivan telling Andrew’s ex-private secretary Amanda Thirsk he was owed $59,933 and that arrangements were agreed with both principals.
- The documents’ presence on Epstein’s desk years after the email date raises unresolved questions about provenance, and it remains unclear whether Epstein was part of the email chain.
- One outlet reports the printout appears to include a forward from a Duke-associated address containing the single word “Er,” a detail that has not been independently verified.
- Anderson says Epstein tried to buy control of the photos and later used a bodyguard to intimidate him and retrieve a hard drive, which he cites to explain why the image only surfaced now; the only confirmed payment remains Ferguson’s prior admission of £15,000 from Epstein.
