Was the Epstein circle connected with the cult of
Baal?
No, there
is no verified evidence that Jeffrey Epstein or his circle were connected with
a "cult of Baal."
The
claims linking Epstein to the ancient Canaanite deity Baal originate from
online conspiracy theories and social media posts, which surged following the
release of Epstein-related documents in early 2026.
Here is a
breakdown of the facts behind these rumors:
The
"Baal" Document: Conspiracies stem from a 2009 JPMorgan wire-transfer
document that, when scanned, appeared to read "Baal.name" in a field
for bank information.
Likely
Misinterpretation: Fact-checkers and analysts have concluded that
"baal.name" was almost certainly a clerical or scanning error that
misread "bank.name," as the document immediately followed with
"Wachovia Bank, N.A.".
No
Evidence of Cults: While law enforcement investigators have described the
structure of Epstein’s sex-trafficking network as "cultlike" in its
coercive control and pyramid-like recruitment, there is no evidence that it was
an actual religious or occult cult.
The
"Temple" Structure: A building on Little St. James Island that was
called a "temple" in online rumors was identified in 2019 reports as
a music pavilion.
The
narrative connecting Epstein to Baal worship is widely regarded as a mix of
misinterpreted documents and online speculation, rather than a factual account
of cult activity.
