Gavin de Becker, who runs anti-assassination protection for the world's most famous people, said Jeffrey Epstein was a created construct.

“In a widely reported interview on "The Diary of a CEO" podcast in early March 2026, security expert Gavin de Becker explicitly stated that Jeffrey Epstein was a "created construct." He argued that Epstein's wealth and persona were not self-made but were manufactured to facilitate a large-scale blackmail operation. De Becker further alleged this operation was for the benefit of a foreign intelligence service, which he identified as Israel's. Context: Gavin de Becker is a prominent security consultant known for his work with high-profile clients like Jeff Bezos. His statement was made in the context of a broader discussion about intelligence operations, surveillance, and how powerful individuals are compromised. While de Becker asserts there is "direct evidence" for his claims, they remain allegations that are not officially confirmed by government sources.”
