"The photo is actually the third page of Pashcow's submission. After a page full of images of girls in suggestive positions, Pashcow included a clear allusion to Epstein's predation, a progression from offering balloons to prepubescent girls in 1983 to him receiving massages from topless young women in 2003, the year of the birthday book. (It's unclear whether the 2003 image is meant to be Mar-a-Lago or Epstein's private island.)"
"It shows a photograph of Mr. Pashcow at the resort with Mr. Epstein, another man and a woman whose face is redacted. Mr. Pashcow is holding an oversize check that appears to have been doctored, with a seemingly phony "DJ TRUMP" signature. A handwritten note under the photo, which was taken in the 1990s, joked that Mr. Epstein showed "early talents with money + women," and had sold a "fully depreciated" woman to Mr. Trump for $22,500."
A birthday book submission by Joel Pashcow includes a photograph of Jeffrey Epstein holding an oversized check that appears to have been doctored to show a 'DJ TRUMP' signature. The caption jokes that Epstein showed 'early talents with money + women' and that he 'sold' a 'fully depreciated' woman to Donald Trump for $22,500. The photograph is the third page of a submission that also contained images of girls in suggestive positions and a progression suggesting predatory behavior from 1983 through 2003. The woman in the photo is redacted; she was identified as a European socialite then in her 20s who briefly dated both men.
