Epstein and his associates have all admitted that there were hidden cameras throughout all of his properties which he used to record the activities of his guests for later blackmail and leverage. Epstein, Maxwell, Guiffre, his staff and many associates have confirmed as much.

Epstein also had known ties to multiple intelligence agencies.

Do we know who they actually blackmailed?

No, and we're unlikely to find out. According to Acosta, he was let go the first time because:

> he was told that Epstein "belonged to intelligence", was "above his pay grade," and to "leave it alone".

Did any of them really admit all that, especially the blackmail part? Not counting Guiffre, as she is the victim.

There's been several interviews with IT people who helped setup the surveillance and networking equipment. It's also documented that the cameras did exist as discovered when his NY home was raided. Maria Farmer talks about this too:

But you said Epstein, Maxwell, etc. have confirmed as much. I think you’re right, but I don’t think we have any clear evidence of it yet in public. All I’ve seen is evidence that there were cameras.
