In 2011, three years after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted and arrested for trafficking minors, he was advised by Ian Osborne, the founder of the consultancy Osborne & Partners, to attend the Bilderberg meeting to revamp his image. A three-page proposal from the firm released in the Epstein files also suggested a “clean up” of Google search results to scrub reporting of Epstein’s pedophilia.
Osborne & Partners, a low-key reputation management firm, pitched to Epstein strategic ways to revitalize his name in the fallout of being a convicted child sex offender in 2009. The man behind the firm, Ian Osborne, has been described by The Telegraph as the “fixer to the elite,” and Epstein himself seemingly arranged degenerate sexual activities for Osborne.
In a June 2011 email, Osborne wrote Epstein explaining he had a plan: “I’ve reflected on the unique challenges and opportunities of your situation, and I am ready to propose what I believe to be the right strategy.” The next day, Epstein received a three-page action strategy.
“Much more is to be gained by increasing your profile among the international political class than the domestic U.S. political class,” the firm posited in their analysis. “In our view, you should be spending time with European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Latin American political and business leaders — some of which you of course already do on a daily basis but in a concerted way through such gatherings as … Bilderberg and the BRICS Summit.”
Osborne explained that Epstein’s efforts must “not appear calculated,” but that he should establish himself as a pioneer in select “media, political, and philanthropic circles.” And, according to Osborne & Partners, a top priority for the pedophile should be getting into the Bilderberg meeting.
