From the grave, Jeffrey Epstein continues to haunt the global elite. In a newly resurfaced video tape, the disgraced financier laughs off accusations of being "the devil," offering a chilling glimpse into the mind of a predator who believed he was untouchable.

The footage, part of a massive file dump released by US authorities this week, captures a candid and disturbing exchange between Epstein and former White House advisor Steve Bannon. Filmed inside Epstein’s $56 million Manhattan mansion, the interview peels back the mask of the man who orchestrated an international sex trafficking ring. When asked point-blank by Bannon, "Do you think you’re the devil himself?", Epstein does not flinch. He smirks, adjusts his glasses, and replies, "No, but I do have a good mirror."

The Banality of Evil

The two-hour tape reveals a man completely detached from the moral gravity of his crimes. Epstein is seen downplaying his status, rejecting Bannon’s label of him as a "class three sexual predator"—a designation reserved for the most dangerous offenders. "No, I'm the lowest," Epstein insists, framing his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor as a minor legal hiccup rather than a systemic pattern of abuse.

The "file dump" containing this video includes over 3,000 pages of documents, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos. It serves as a digital autopsy of his network, implicating powerful figures in business and politics who orbited his world. But it is Epstein’s demeanor—relaxed, arrogant, and dismissive—that strikes the hardest chord. He justifies his wealth, claiming he made his money "advising the worst people in the world" but spent it on philanthropy, like polio eradication, as if charity could launder his soul.

• The Quote: "The devil scares me," Epstein claims later in the tape, a rare moment of deflection in an otherwise confident performance.
• The Setting: The interview takes place amidst the opulence of his townhouse, surrounded by the very wealth that bought his silence for decades.
• The Timing: The release comes as victims continue to fight for transparency, ensuring that even in death, Epstein’s secrets are dragged into the light.

The Mirror Crack’d

Epstein’s assertion that he has a "good mirror" suggests a profound narcissism—a belief that his external image could forever hide his internal rot. This video shatters that mirror once and for all. It presents not a monster in the shadows, but a man in a black shirt, smiling comfortably while discussing his own monstrosity.

As the world dissects these new files, the question is no longer what Epstein did, but who else looked into that mirror and saw nothing wrong.
