Like many in the Epstein circle, controversial attorney Alex Spiro has a very vile past; and like Jeffrey Epstein, things don’t quite add up. Leaving a devastating trail in his wake, Alex Spiro has been called out for destroying lives and silencing victims through any means necessary. Spiro has also been accused of tricking victims through deception, in order to steal their evidence. Spiro’s stint at the Manhattan DA’s Office ended at a famously impersonated law enforcement in Miami and Manhattan courts.

After leaving the DA’s office, Alex Spiro went to work as an associate attorney with Benjamin Brafman’s law firm, defending Harvey Weinstein in 2017 and 2018, alongside notorious attorney Lisa Bloom. Their pattern of intimidation and smearing of victims is well documented, including a ‘diabolical and illegal effort’ to silence them. Adding to the intrigue, their private investigator, Jack Palladino, was murdered shortly after working for them.

More recent controversies have emerged regarding Spiro’s attempts to target whistleblower Ray-J and sue him on behalf of alleged sex traffickers Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Both figures have extensive ties to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jay-Z, which has raised further questions regarding Spiro's motivations and practices.

Both Spiro and his clients now face mounting scrutiny amid these revelations, suggesting that the web of controversy surrounding them is far from over.
