A mysterious group of eight high-profile Jeffrey Epstein associates are MISSING from the roster of 177 names expected to be released by a federal judge next year, a RadarOnline.com investigation has exclusively learned.

It is unknown why the eight vanished from the list, but court records examined by RadarOnline.com showed the missing eight — known as Doe’s # 12, 28, 97, 107, 144, 147, 171, and 183 — filed court documents in a desperate attempt to remain anonymous in the scandalous case.

[This appears temporary. One of them is apparently Les Wexner, whose name has long been known in this investigation. Wexner has tried to claim that he was a victim of Epstein; one wonders if the files tell a different story. — Ed]
