Jeffrey Epstein’s brother doesn’t think blackmail sex tapes exist — but says he heard lots of gossip

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother doesn’t believe the disgraced financier made blackmail sex tapes to extort his powerful acquaintances — but said he did dish him plenty of gossip about them over the years.

“This is just an opinion — I never really believed they existed,” 69-year-old Mark Epstein, the sex-offender’s younger brother, told The Post.

“Jeffrey was buying islands in the Virgin Islands. He had his own private 727 [jet]. Do you think he needed to make money by extortion?” Mark said.

“He knew how to make money in the financial world. He knew all the dirty tricks. When he was on Wall Street he learned all the tricks before Wall Street was cleaned up.”

Epstein climbed the banking ranks at Bearn Stearns in the late 1970s, before founding his own Wall Street consulting firm in the early 80s which he used to springboard into the world of major financial players and forge powerful connections.

Since his 2019 arrest, death, and the exposure of his elaborate sex-trafficking ring, theories have expounded alleging Epstein secretly filmed powerful men in compromising positions at his New York City townhouse and other properties, then used the tapes to extort money or favors from them.
