Epstein Files: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein burnish Florida's reputation as a magnet for big-time sleazeballs

Headline:  AlterNet, 8/4/2025

Diane Roberts opines for the Florida Phoenix:

Florida has always been a magnet for criminals, despots, and big-time sleazeballs. 

Al Capone liked to relax in Miami Beach. 

Ex-dictators, junta leaders, and death squad commanders from Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru, Honduras, Venezuela, and Panama have moved here when things got too hot at home. 

Then there are the dodgy New York billionaires, including the felonious current occupant of the White House and his erstwhile pal, the late Jeffrey Epstein, who installed themselves in ocean-front mansions and became Florida Men. 

Epstein’s girlfriend/posh pimp Ghislaine Maxwell made herself a Florida Woman, too, shopping for young girls in Palm Beach County. 

Then she moved north, although not by choice: She was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking and imprisoned at FCI Tallahassee. 

Now the feds have whisked her off to some tennis prison in Texas.
