All the means are there,\u201d Alexander President Bill Panagopulos said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeffrey Epstein was the epitome of evil, and this book should be forever kept as evidence of his awful crimes,\u201d added Panagopulos, who frequently auctions historical and criminal artifacts in his international events. Past auctions have included the diary of Nazi war criminal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexautographs.com\/auction-lot\/the-hidden-journals-of-dr.-josef-mengele-curren_43348AC2A6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Josef Mengele,<\/a> the gold watch Marilyn Monroe gave to former President John F. Kennedy, and strands of hair from former President Abraham Lincoln tied together with parts of the American flag from his funeral train.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the well-known names listed in Epstein\u2019s second black book are not in the original. For example, former President Bill Clinton, David Copperfield, and Prince Andrew aren\u2019t in it. And there is no indication that those in the book are suspected of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>The dates in the book suggest it was used before Epstein set up his \u201cPedophile Island.\u201d He previously pleaded guilty in Florida state court in 2008 to one count each of soliciting minors for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.<\/p>\n<p>Among the details Panagopulos shared with Secrets was that there is an entry for \u201cThe White House,\u201d a Kennedy family member, and a U.S. congressman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe book also contains entries for former Ford Models Inc. CEO Katie Ford, as well as an entry for \u2018Masseuse\/Masseur,\u2019 which lists 24 women\u2019s names and numbers, some with pager numbers as well, with one bearing the descriptive: \u2018ugly back up,\u2019 and eight women listed under \u2018Exercise people\u2019,\u201d he told Secrets.<\/p>\n<p>The entries are printed reproductions shrunk down to fit the book, which measures 4.5 inches by 5.25 inches.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><figcaption>Photo courtesy Alexander Historical Auctions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Panagopulos added this description in his sale write-up: \u201cThere are 386 printed entries with two additional entries penned in a childlike hand on the last page, very similar to Epstein\u2019s hand but the sample is too small for us to warrant this as fact. They vary in length from only a few lines to over 10-15 lines or more each, and each of these entries may have several more names included within. Additionally, 94 names bear black, hand-applied checkmarks, and five have been highlighted in yellow. All five names, including that of Donald Trump, are well-recognized financial and industrial figures. The significance of the checked and highlighted names is unknown. The details included in the vast majority of the entries are most extensive: Epstein not only includes the name, address and telephone number of his contact, but in most cases also adds other residential addresses and numbers, contact information for family members, secretaries, immediate employees, and associates of the individual, cell phone and pager numbers, and in at least one instance, a contact\u2019s girl friend\u2019s number.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panagopulos offered no suggested selling price. \u201cAs for estimates, I can\u2019t give you one. It\u2019s worth what someone wants to pay for it, either to research it, reveal its contents, or make it disappear forever,\u201d Panagopulos said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Initially, he is offering it through sealed bids \u2014 and anonymously. If it doesn\u2019t sell in that process, it will be publicly auctioned in July. Alexander is offering bidders a chance to review the book at its offices.<\/p>\n<p>The book comes with an interesting backstory. It was found on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk in the 1990s and placed in storage. The owner offered to show it to media outlets once Epstein became infamous, but none responded.
