Paul Cassell's Deposition In Cassell/Edwards V. Dershowitz (Part 10)

Jeffrey Epstein And The Transcript From His 1981 SEC Deposition (Part 3) (7/28/26)

In April 1981, Jeffrey Epstein testified before the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an inquiry involving trading in St. Joe Minerals securities. Epstein described himself as a limited partner and account executive at Bear Stearns who assisted the sales force with commodities and financial-futures recommendations. The questioning focused heavily on his recent departure from the firm, his handling of client accounts and an incident in which he had loaned money to a close friend who used it in connection with a brokerage account. Epstein acknowledged making the loan but insisted it had not been concealed and said he had not initially understood that such an arrangement presented a regulatory problem. Epstein maintained that his resignation was unrelated to the St. Joe Minerals investigation and said he left because he was dissatisfied with how Bear Stearns handled the inquiry into the loan. He repeatedly denied discussing St. Joe Minerals with members of the firm’s executive committee and portrayed his departure as voluntary, submitting resignation letters dated March 12 and March 25. The testimony also revealed details about his rapid rise at Bear Stearns and his compensation: he said he had earned more than $200,000 the previous year, including a $135,000 bonus, and expected another sizable payment after leaving. Overall, the deposition showed Epstein defending his conduct, minimizing the seriousness of the loan arrangement and distancing his resignation from the securities matter under investigation. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Jeffrey Epstein Transcript and Exhibits [https://www.sec.gov/files/epstein-deposition-and-exhibits.pdf]

Paul Cassell's Deposition In Cassell/Edwards V. Dershowitz (Part 13)

In the Broward County defamation litigation CACE 15-000072, the deposition at issue is sworn testimony from Paul Cassell, one of the attorneys representing Epstein survivors and a former federal judge. Cassell’s deposition focuses on his role in challenging the 2008 federal Non-Prosecution Agreement granted to Jeffrey Epstein, and on statements he made publicly about Alan Dershowitz that later became the basis for Dershowitz’s defamation claims. Cassell explains the factual foundation for his remarks, emphasizing that they were rooted in court filings, sworn victim testimony, investigative reporting, and contemporaneous evidence. He details how survivors’ allegations against Dershowitz emerged, how they were evaluated by legal teams, and why he believed it was appropriate and accurate to reference them in public advocacy surrounding Epstein’s secret plea deal. Cassell consistently frames his conduct as part of his duty to represent victims and expose prosecutorial misconduct, not as a personal attack. The deposition also addresses Dershowitz’s accusation that Cassell acted recklessly or with malice, which Cassell firmly rejects. He testifies that he never fabricated claims, never coached witnesses to lie, and never acted outside ethical or professional boundaries. Cassell underscores that his statements reflected allegations already made under oath by victims and contained in legal records, and that suppressing discussion of those allegations would further harm survivors. Throughout the testimony, Cassell situates the dispute within the larger Epstein cover-up, arguing that the real issue is not reputational discomfort among the powerful but the systemic failure to protect exploited minors. The deposition ultimately functions as a defense of victim-centered advocacy and transparency, directly countering Dershowitz’s narrative that survivor allegations were invented, coerced, or irresponsibly amplified. to contact me: EFTA00594390.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00594390.pdf]
