The Ten Most Mentioned People in the Epstein Secrets Index

The Epstein Secrets entity index puts Lesley Groff, Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke at the top of its list once Jeffrey Epstein himself is excluded. An executive secretary, an accountant and an attorney occupy the first three places. EpsteinWiki’s video follows that ranking as it appeared on October 21, 2026.

The numbers measure how often the index identifies a name in its collection. They do not tell us how many separate documents concern that person, how close the person was to Epstein, or whether the person committed a crime. Each of those questions requires reading the underlying records.

These are source reported automated mentions, not document counts or a ranking of wrongdoing. The text below reproduces the names and figures on the ten cards and adds context about each person.

The ten cards in text

1 Lesley Groff

214,866 indexed mentions

In her House Oversight interview, Groff described her job as executive secretary and said she worked for Epstein from 2001 to 2019.

2 Richard Kahn

89,724 indexed mentions

The House Oversight Committee’s account of Kahn’s deposition identifies him as Epstein’s longtime accountant and a coexecutor of his estate. Those roles cover both his work during Epstein’s lifetime and the administration of the estate after Epstein’s death.

3 Darren Indyke

66,856 indexed mentions

A House Oversight report identifies Indyke as one of Epstein’s longtime personal attorneys. The committee’s estate subpoena also names him alongside Kahn as a coexecutor.

4 Ghislaine Maxwell

55,456 indexed mentions

The Justice Department’s sentencing announcement records Maxwell’s 2021 conviction for offenses involving Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors and her 20 year prison sentence in 2022. Those findings come from a criminal case. They should not be confused with, or inferred from, her position in an automated index.

5 Karyna Shuliak

46,246 indexed mentions

The Standard’s reporting on Shuliak describes her as a dentist and Epstein’s girlfriend during the final years of his life.

6 Larry Visoski

43,497 indexed mentions

In the opening trial testimony in United States v. Maxwell, Visoski said he worked as Epstein’s pilot from 1991 to 2019. He gave that evidence as a witness in Maxwell’s criminal trial in November 2021.

7 Marc Rich

31,380 indexed mentions

Glencore’s company history traces its origins to Marc Rich + Co AG, the commodities trading business Rich founded. His inclusion here means the index assigned mentions to his name. It does not, by itself, establish direct contact with Epstein, a business relationship with him, or involvement in Epstein’s crimes. A document may discuss somebody who was not a participant in the events it describes.

8 Leon Black

20,642 indexed mentions

Apollo’s leadership announcement identifies Black as a founder and former chief executive of the investment firm. The Apollo commissioned Dechert review describes personal tax and estate planning services Epstein provided to Black. That review is a separate source about their dealings, not a conclusion supplied by this ranking.

9 Bella Klein

20,363 indexed mentions

A released Deutsche Bank presentation describes Klein’s LinkedIn profile as listing work as an accountant and assistant controller at HBRK. That is the bank’s account of her profile, rather than an employment certification. Her video card uses authentic HBRK Associates Inc. letterhead as an employer reference. It is not a portrait of Klein.

10 Boris Nikolic

19,915 indexed mentions

An Editas Medicine filing with the SEC describes Nikolic’s medical training, investment work and former role as Bill Gates’s chief adviser on science and technology.

Where the numbers come from

The Epstein Secrets project description says its collection contains more than 850,000 documents drawn from court filings, congressional releases, DOJ and FBI records, FOIA material and email archives. It is a combined research collection, not one official government release. Its exact completeness and a fixed cutoff for every included source have not been established here.

For this video, the entity listing was ordered by mention count and the first ten people after Jeffrey Epstein were retained. The figures are the listing snapshot retrieved on October 21, 2026. They are not an independent recount of the archive or a verified ranking across every Epstein record ever released.

The listing and individual profiles can disagree. At the snapshot check, the listing showed 214,866 for Groff while her profile showed 214,858. Maxwell’s listing showed 55,456 while her profile showed 55,430. The reason for those differences was not established. This article keeps the listing figures used in the video rather than mixing counts from different views.

How to read a mention count

The index methodology describes automated name recognition and the grouping of name variations. It also acknowledges that entities can be misidentified or missed. A searchable collection is useful for finding material, but its output still needs checking.

Repeated email chains, quoted messages, signatures and duplicate copies can make a name recur without documenting another event. OCR errors and ambiguous names can also affect automated extraction. The effect of those issues on these ten totals has not been independently measured, and a consistent deduplication rule has not been verified.

Before drawing a conclusion, open the source document. Check who wrote it, its date, whether the person is a sender or simply a subject, and whether the same text appears elsewhere. A ranking can point a reader toward a record. It cannot replace the record.
