Photo of novelty check suggests Epstein sold Trump a woman for $22,500
Convicted sex offender appears in birthday scrapbook photo with giant check signed by DJ Trump
by Ramon Antonio Vargas and Manisha Ganguly
The Guardian, September 9, 2025
A scrapbook for Jeffrey Epsteins 50th birthday released on Monday contains a photo of him holding a novelty check bearing Donald Trumps signature, along with a note suggesting Epstein sold him a woman for $22,500, shedding further light on the longtime relationship between the president and the convicted sex offender.
The photo shows Epstein and Joel Pashcow, a longtime member of Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort, and a third figure, apparently a woman, whose face is redacted in the image, which was shared on social media by Democrats on the House oversight committee. The caption, apparently from Pashcow, reads: Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells fully depreciated [redaction] to Donald Trump for $22,500.
Epstein showed early people skills too, the caption continued. Even though I handled the deal I didnt get any of the money on the girl!
SNIP...
Pashcows name appears in Epstein flight manifest records. Publicly available information online describes him as a resident of Palm Beach, Florida near Mar-a-Lago as well as the managing member of Nassau Capital, a real estate and securities investment firm, since April 2006.
A 2020 Mother Jones article reported that Pashcow was a board member of the Palm Beach police and fire foundation. According to a journalist for the outlet, when called out about Epstein, Pashcow replied: Youre really pathetic, you know that?

Lordy, I love The Guardian -- and DU. The rich who think they're entitled to own and operate people like chattel? Not so much. And they're the ones who've benefitted from $7.25 federal minimum wage since July 2009.

Yes, but her last name isn't Harris, Biden or Obama, so the corporate media looks the other way.

And he is still paying for her but now all he gets is an occasional attendance at one of his dinners or events.
