60 Minutes Australia investigates the life and death of financier Jeffrey Epstein, tracing how a man with no obvious source of wealth built ties to presidents, princes, and Hollywood figures while running what investigators later described as a trafficking operation targeting underage girls. Interviews and archival footage retrace his rise on Wall Street, his 2008 plea deal in Florida that drew widespread criticism for its leniency, and the 2019 federal charges that followed a renewed investigation. The film examines his relationships with figures including Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, and revisits the circumstances of his death in a Manhattan jail cell, which was ruled a suicide but left unanswered questions that still circulate. Survivors and journalists who covered the case describe how Epstein operated for years despite warning signs, and how his connections may have shielded him from earlier accountability. The program keeps its focus on documented events and on-record accounts rather than speculation, laying out the timeline of a case that implicated some of the most powerful people in the world.
