The first names from the long-awaited 'list' of 187 previously unknown Jeffrey Epstein associates were revealed today.
The files were made public by the Southern District of New York on January 3, after the appeal deadline had passed, around 6:30 pm on Wednesday evening.
DailyMail.com is now reviewing the documents. Investor Glenn Dubin is the first name to appear in a transcript of a recorded statement with Ghislaine Maxwell in which Maxwell was asked if Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg was ever asked to massage Dubin.
Maxwell replied, “I don't believe it, I have no memory of it.”
Many had already been linked to Epstein and some are the names of previously identified victims.
Three people have filed an appeal and one of them has been granted: that of Jane Doe 107. Another appeal, filed by John Doe 110, is currently under review.

Doe 110 is said to have been widely associated with Epstein in the past, but filed a last-minute request to remain anonymous.
They are described in court documents as an “alleged Epstein affiliate.”
The names were all redacted in a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The case was settled in 2017, but the names remained secret until now.
Judge Loretta Preska finally agreed to unseat the documents last December, ruling that there was no longer a legal need to keep the names hidden.
Some have been calling for their release for months.
Among them is Alan Dershowitz, a former Epstein associate who says releasing the documents puts all the information in the public forum and “proves” he did nothing wrong.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 for her role in the sex trade, has “no say” in the files, according to her lawyer Arthur Aidala.
However, Aidala said the papers may disappoint many who think they will reveal a conspiracy or previously unknown names.
Former President Bill Clinton had long been expected to be one of the names.
Former President Donald Trump would also be present.
For years, many have speculated about who else might be involved in the Epstein and Maxwell group. Although he took his secrets to the grave, she claims she was never involved in sex trafficking
