The documentary series, ‘Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich’, is a depiction of the efforts and voices that have gone behind unmasking the true nature of the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein. The man, who ran in high profile tight circles, was a convicted sex trafficker. However, the enormity of his crimes went undetected for the longest time. Those who have closely monitored his case have made lengthy observations about several others who were close enough to have known and participated in most of his sexual offenses. The list is inclusive of one of the former Presidents, and British royalty.

Shannon Cake joined WPTV in 1996, as a consumer and investigative reporter. Later, she became part of the 5:30 PM newscast. She is also the anchor for WFLX (FOX 29) and The NOW South Florida.

It is in this capacity that she reported on WPTV’s former anchor, Tim Malloy’s breakthrough discoveries in the Jeffrey Epstein case. As Cake reports it, she talks about how everything started for Malloy with a phone call. In the segment, Malloy said, “ I was actually sitting at my desk, and I had gotten a call from a kid who said he was at Royal Palm Beach High School. And he said there was an older guy that the young girls were going to give massages to.” This became the beginning of the book, ‘Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy. The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein.’

The book written by James Patterson and, co-authored by John Connolly and Tim Malloy, is a detailed exploration of Epstein’s criminal activities. Malloy spoke of the challenges they faced in getting the book published, as Epstein persistently tried to make sure that it did not happen. The threat was so real that he told Cake to make the story heard if anything happened to him.
